It's the first day of school for us. I plan on joining the JV Cheerleader Team. Gem wasn't comfortable about laving Ms. Stanley in the morning. I told her, "That shouldn't stop you from going after school."

"What if we get a load of homework?"

"But, it's only the first day."

To my surprise, she was right. I guess teachers want us to start first thing. Luckily, we only have one class free from homework. It doesn't matter, it's only PE.

I made new friends. Some of them have decided to try out for JV Cheerleadering. One of them, Penelope, is like Gem. She's more interested in art. I told her about Gem's drawings.

Gem and I are in the same classes. Our homeroom teacher is Mr. Symthe. I kept an eye on Gem. She was impatient for school to be done. My sister is very anixous. The look is all in her face.
