THE BUBBLE

It was the first day of fifth grade. I wondered if there were any new students. When I first walked into my new class, I saw Jack, Rannon, Izzy, Tanner, and some others I knew. But there was one kid I had never seen before. So I walked up to him and said with a big smile, "Hello."

He looked up at me and I could tell that he was thinking that I was a weirdo. But he was nice and said "hi" back. He had bright red hair and freckles.

I asked, "Whats your name?" He didn't answer me, so I said, "Are you new?" Even though I knew he was. He looked at me and said, "Ya and my name is Sean."

I told him my name was Jenna.

Then the teacher said it was time to sit down and said, "So how many of you are new to our school?" Sean raised his hand. She asked him what his name was and he answered, "Sean." Then we started the day. Later I saw Sean and Rannon hanging out at gym. So I walked over said, "Hi."

Then I got hit in the head with a lime green soccer ball. I went to the nurse's office. After that we had recess. When I got outside Sean and Rannon came up to me and said, "Are you OK Jenna?"

I said, "Ya I'm fine." Then we started telling jokes. And before long Jack and Tanner came up and joined in, and so we made a club and called it The Bubble, because we stood in a bubble shape. We thought of ourselves as the founding fathers/mother of the bubble. Because more people kept joining in. And even though it is now sixth grade we still are hanging out, and we still tell jokes.

Even over the summer we hung out in my back yard when we would sit on inner tubes and now we have snowball fights with my brother. We hang out most days, but not every day. It depends on how much homework we have. But if you come to our school at recess time you just might see the founding fathers/mother standing in a bubble form.
