Red Light

Come on, come on!  Why won't they hurry up?  Autumn wants me to just walk, but I can't!  I am the Caboose after all, so I can't very well leave Tatiana and Melissa behind.  Autumn is pulling me away from them.  Not fair!  What'll happen to me if Mrs. Troph finds out that I didn't work as the Caboose?  What on earth are they fighting over, anyway?...  What!?  They're fighting over who gets to walk in front of me?  I don't want either of them to, because Autumn already is.

Oh, no!  The line's getting farther away!  All I can see is Johanna's hot pink earmuffs disappearing into the building.  I better move now.  Uh, oh, Mrs. Gross is coming back out.  "When we get inside, I have four ladies on red!"  She yells, holding up four fingers.  What?  That's not fair!  It's Tatiana and Melissa who are holding us up!

"Come on, Autumn, let's go!" I say to her.

"Finally!"

We walk into the building.  I have a bad feeling in my stomach.  It's not my fault that we're getting put on red!  I was just doing my job.  I heard that Principal Plumb spanks the kindergarteners who get put on red.  Oh, why does this happen to me?  Now I'll have to go to the principal and get spanked, and I'll get a phone call home, and I won't be able to go out to recess again. *groan* I can't believe it.  I hate kindergarten...
