Breaking Up!!!!!!

By Katherine Massell
Edmunds Elementary School, Grade 4

WALKING TO THE MOVIES

“Hey, Jake”
“Hello, Sarah”
“So were you going to take me to the movies?”
“Oh, um yeah, sure you want to come?”
“Yeah, thanks, that’s why I’m here!”

AT THE MOVIES

“So, what are we watching Jake?”
“Oh, a Bill Nye Video. I love learning about science!”
{Muttering} “You are such a little wimp!”
“What?”
“Nothing… want popcorn?”
“Oh, I brought a tuna sandwich.”
“JAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought we were going to spend a wonderful night together watching horror movies! You are such a little jerk! Why did I ever come here?”
“Well, maybe because you are my girlfriend.”
“Where did you get that idea?”
“Well, that’s what you said before we came here!”
“Yeah, before we came here! I’m going to the mall with my real boyfriend!”
