Just me by julie collins (guided reading books TXT) 📕

"Hey guys, how was math?" They were so lucky math was the best subject here. Mr. Matt was an awesome teacher.

" The M-man played the guitar for us because Josh got a Collage answer correct."

" Wow Josh, you are smart!" I said joking around. We all just laughed. Today we were served nuggets. At least it wasn't mystery meat. We ate in silence, soon school was over. We rode our bikes home.

"Guys, wait for me. Slow down," I shouted out of breath why did we always have to race home?

"Never,"Josh and Drake said at the same time. So I just petaled faster and faster until I could ride the bike without pedaling. I zoomed right past them. Now they were saying wait for me so I just laughed. I kept moving forward and I reached the driveway so I was the winner.

I waited at my front door to call them LOSERS. They said that I just got lucked up. We all went inside and ate some apples. My mom walked out of the living room with grey powder on her face.

"Hey guys, how was school?" Instead of answering her question I asked her one.

" why do you have dust on your face, mom?" She was whispering her answer.

"I can't hear you," I said sounding like I was her mother.

" I tried to fix the sink because the plumber bailed on me," I was even more confused.

"Ma, the sink wasn't -

"Broken, I know thats what the plumber said, but it wouldn't turn on." Josh just laughed and Drake was smirking. I guessed Drake didn't want to laugh at my mom.

" Skip bought a new sink when you were away," I walked to the sink and switched the right knob. My mom just laughed at herself and went upstairs.

"That was the highlight of my day," Drake said and then he started laughing.

"Josh, Drake are you going to help me with my math?" It's not my best subject I'll admit. I heard a no and a sure. It was obvious that Josh was the one who said no.So Josh watched tv while Drake helped me in math. Wow Drake is a nerd! I mean he is so super smart. I was done with my math in no time now on to science. We all did the rest of the work together. Josh and I just kept asking Drake" What did you get for number four?" and so on.

"What did you get for numb-

"You guys aren't going to learn by getting all the answers from me-

"I thought we were buds," Josh said with a confused look on his face.

"We are buds, that is why your not getting any answers from me-

"Thats not fair," Josh said with the puppy pout. Just then our mom walked in.

"Life isn't fair, sweetie,"my mom said in an cheerful tone. At that point we all looked confused. I turned to my mom. Her face is clean and she put on my makeup. I guess thats no surprise.The make up she can borrow, but my clothes never. It's a good thing that she can't fit extra small. I start laughing to myself. Everyone looks at me like I'm weird.

I look at the clock and then run upstairs. Imprint
