Story
One day, the kids were outside at recess. Leo, Pablo, Tyrone, and Austin were playing hide-and-seek, Uniqua and Tasha were blowing bubbles, and Annie was playing by herself on the swings. She was looking kinda sad. Leo took notice of this and walked over.

"What's wrong, sis," asked Leo.

"Well," said Annie, "I just wish I had a best friend to play with, like you have Pablo, Tyrone, and Austin, and Uniqua has Tasha."

Leo smiled.

"Don't worry, Annie," said Leo, "I'm sure you'll find someone."

Annie smiled as well, knowing her brother was right.

The next day, the kids were in the classroom having story time. The story in particular was one of Annie's favorites, which was The Three Little Pigs.

"And the wolf huffed and he puffed and he puffed and he huffed," Mr. Haney read, "but he could not blow the brick house down."

Just then, Mr. Ruhle came in.

"Hello, Mr. Haney," said Mr. Ruhle, "sorry to interrupt your story time."

"Oh, it's okay, Mr. Ruhle," said Mr. Haney, "We were almost done, anyway. So, what can I do for you?"

"I have an announcement for the children," said Mr. Ruhle.

"Okay," said Mr. Haney, "I'll tell them."

Mr. Haney then closed the book.

"Class," said Mr. Haney, "Mr. Ruhle has an announcement."

"Don't worry," said Mr. Ruhle, "it'll be short. You can go back to your story soon enough."

"What is it, Mr. Ruhle," asked Pablo.

"A new student will be joining your class today," said Mr. Ruhle.

Mr. Ruhle turned to the side and made a hand motion. A girl wearing a sleeveless cyan shirt with a pink flower, yellowish shorts, pink socks, white LED light-up shoes, and a pink band aid on her right leg entered the classroom, carrying a purple backpack.

"Children," said Mr. Ruhle, "meet Darcy Homandollar."

"Hello, Darcy," said everyone in unison.

"Hi," said Darcy with a smile.

Mr. Ruhle then left.

"Now, then," said Mr. Haney, "where were we?"

"We were at the part where the wolf tried blowing down the brick house," said Austin.

"Oh, right," said Mr. Haney.

Mr. Haney then continued reading, and soon finished.

"Now," said Mr. Haney, "How about you tell us a bit about yourself, Darcy?"

"Well," said Darcy, "I moved here from Michigan, so that means my daddy and grandpa are big fans of the Green Bay Packers."

"Nice," said Mr. Haney, "What else about your family would you like to tell us?"

"My mommy's a waitress and my daddy's an artist," said Darcy, "Grandpa's a baker. He makes really good cookies."

"Nice," said Pablo, "My dad runs a gelato shop."

"What's gelato," asked Darcy.

"Italian ice cream," said Annie.

"Oh, cool," said Darcy.

Later, it was time for the kids to go home, and as Annie and Leo walked home, Annie was thinking about Darcy.

"I think I'll like Darcy," said Annie.
