May 21st Do-Now

When Kadija arrived at the bus stop, her friends were not there. She thought she must have missed the bus but couldn't believe it since she was usually so responsible. She sat down to figure out what to do. She could call her dad at work or get a ride from her aunt. Just then she heard the bus roaring up the street. Then she saw her two classmates running toward the bus stop. She hadn't missed the bus at all, but her two friends almost had!

How does the reader know Kadija is probably a careful person?

 "Come on, Mia, get up!" cried Sydney, my younger sister. "I don't want to be late!"
