It was just your average Tuesday Lunch Recess. The swings crying out for some oil, the fourth and fifth graders arguing over what team the new kid Brandon should be on. Zoey and Shaylee hiding behind a bush watching embarrassing Youtube videos. The softball team playing foursquare. Kids practicing on the outdoor stage dance moves and acts and maybe a song or two. The May sky was as clear as water itself with not a single speck of birds, planes or a cloud. Everything was the same, well…almost.
The fourth and fifth graders weren't even half way into their recess when the odd rumor had started. In fact, It wasn't even a quarter of the recess when it had started.
Sonny Monroe was substituting Mr. Provost fifth grade class, the class where all the first graders that had stayed over the past years were all kids from Ms. Monroe's first grade class.
Now when most kids heard this, they were shocked. A Hollywood actress teaching!? In Oregon?! I t wasn't something you heard every day. Some kids thought the kids who told them were crazy, but kept spreading it around anyway, trying to let everyone hear the news.
Kennedy was the first out of the 'first graders' to hear about it, and like that she told all the other six kids who had stayed. Shaylee, Zoey, Mikaela, Cole, Austin and Tyler.
The bell rang after that, allowing everyone to get back to their class, fourth graders Spelling and fifth graders Reading.
Now just keep in mind what might be happening down in Hollywood, California and how it's similar to the small town of Oregon. There are three types of people in both these places. The ones that will help, the ones that tries to stop, and the ones that know more than the others.
