It was a rainy autumn morning. Sara's mom sped into the parking lot of Starlight Academy. She screeched to a halt.

"Get out of the car already. I am late to work because you wouldn't leave without that stupid tiger Morpheus! What an idiotic name! And who ever heard of taking toys to school? Aren't they supposed to have toys there to play with?"

Sara got out of the car and had barely closed the door before her mom raced out of the parking lot. Sara managed to get the door open and walked in. Ms. Theresa stopped her. "Good morning Sara."

"Hi," whispered Sara.

"Would you like something to eat? Your mom seemed kind of in a hurry." Sara just nodded and followed Ms. Theresa into the cafeteria. Ms. Theresa went got her a waffle and some milk and a banana. Sara whispered her thanks.

When Sara was done, Ms. Theresa walked her to her class. Ms. Catherine saw her immediately. "Good morning, Sara. We were just about to read a book that you will probably like. It's about animals." The whole class turned and welcomed Sara.

"Come sit by me! Come sit by me!" Greg said as he wiggled around trying to make space next to him and Archie.

"No way, Greggo, she's gonna sit by me. I am much cooler!" Warrick responded. "You can't even sit still."

Nick hollered out, " I don't know what all the fuss is about. Sara's gonna sit with me!"

Ms. Catherine spoke, "Nick, remember…inside voices."

"Yes, ma'am."

Sara put Morpheus in her cubby and walked back over to the rug and sat next to Nick. "Hehehehe, see I told you!!" Nick laughed.

"Nick, be kind." Ms. Catherine warned in a loving and gentle voice.
