Chapter One: First Day.

“Hello?” Said somebody in the back of the room.” Are you ok?” said the voice again, And that is where it all began…the third grade classroom B-202. Let me start at the very beginning. It was the year 2020, In September, on a very special day. The first day of third Grade!!!”EEEEKK!!” violet squealed. Violet is a third Grader at Rostraver Elementary School. ”Well somebody’s excited for her new school!” Violet’s mom exclaims smiling.” you bet!” Violet replies grinning from ear to ear.

Just then, Violet's dad comes stomping down the stairs holding their family dog, Coco.” She peed on the carpet again, her dad explains. Violet's father ,Carter, starts to say “this is the third time...maybe we should sell the--”NOPE!” violent protests,” I love Coco!” Violet says as she runs over to Coco. ”we won’t sell Coco.” Violet's Mother says, eyeing her husband. There's a bang on the front door, a familiar voice yells “The bus is here!” through the door. 

“Coming!” Violet calls back. As she hugs her parents, she can’t help but wonder if 

she will be OK at a new school. Violet races outside and gets on the bus with best friend Bella.          

 Chapter 2: making friends

When they arrive at school, they have fifteen minutes before classes begin. Violet turns to Bella” will people like me? Am I weird? What if I make no new friends?” Bella just smiles, “ of course everyone will love you. Yes you're weird! And you’ll always have me! No matter what.” that calms violet down a little. When the bell rings everyone goes to their classes, finds seats, and talks to their friends. “Hello class!” the teacher says, a little too loudly. The whole class laughs at this. “ok, ok, ok settle down class. I am Miss Hook and I will be your third grade teacher for the rest of the year.” Miss Hook smiles, particularly at Violet,

“I see we have some new students this year” Miss Hook says still looking at Violet” come on up, tell us about yourself.” “ uh alright.. I guess so..” Violet says.” that’s the school spirit!” Miss Hook says gently sitting at the teacher's desk. Miss Hook nods toward Violet telling her to begin. “ I am from Colorado, we moved here to Idaho over the summer, And I'm an only child.” some kids oohed and some even whispered “must be nice!” When Violet heard this, it boosted up her confidence. She ended her speech talking about het her dog Coco. Everybody laughed when she told them how Coco keeps peeing on the carpet and driving her family crazy!

Violet turned to face Miss Hook,” Thank You!” she mouthed as she walked slowly back to her desk. Violet wasn’t the only new kid though, there was another kid and his name is Charles. He sits next to a girl named Taylor, she’s loud, very obnoxious and is in a very large family.“ Hi everyone..” Charles said quiet and shy. “ I have a mom.. dad...2 brothers,4sisters, and 2 cats.” Charles quickly finished and ran back to his seat, blushing very hard, He looked around the room to see people laughing at him. “Hey is Charles following us?” violet replied.“ I don’t know, Who cares?” Bella asked looking confused. ``Charles is the other new kid, he sits next to Taylor in homeroom.” Violet said pointing behind them toward a boy with 

blonde hair walking shortly behind them. "Hey! Charles right?” Bella yelled to him. He looked up at us quite surprised. He answered, “ I am Charles, yes.” Violet looked at Bella and whispered, “ What are you doing?!?” “ Being nice.” Bella told her with a giggle. Bella turned back to face Charles, she stopped and asked him,” Want to study with us?” Charles looked terrified but said yes and came to walk with them.” Where are you from?” Violet asked while they were studying ” Wyoming.   Where are you from??” He shot back as though the question was insulting. Bella hesitated before replying then answered” We are both from Colorado…” The rest of night they only talked about plants, presidents, and of math.

The next morning everyone one was huddled around Max, a kid in fourth grade, What is soo interesting over there?” Bella asked Charles and Violet. “I don’t know. Let’s find out.” Violet said looking from Charles to Bella. ``But violet.. We all have to finish the math homework for Mr. Green!” Charles looked straight at Violet's feet when he said this as though ashamed to argue. Bella to the rescue, “I agree! It’s due this afternoon!” Violet knew she was out numbered so agreed to finish the math. “Charles are you..?” Bella asked watching Charles stand from his desk and walk slowly toward Max.” Oh.. Uhm no… I’m not going to fail my class for a fourth grader! I’m doing my math!”  

And he went to the pencil sharpener, without a pencil, and pretended that was what he got up to do. The rest of the week went by slowly. When Violet finally finished all her homework she realized she’d missed dinner. Violet’s stomach growled so loudly she could've started an avalanche with her own stomach. Violet raced down the stairs for a quick snack, But what she found made her appetite vanish. Her dog was lying on the floor, eyes closed and not moving.
“COCO!” she yelled “NO!” She started screaming and crying until her father finally came running down the stairs, her mother followed shortly behind.
