Melissa could see the look of panic on Leslie’s face. “It’s okay,” Melissa said. “We have practiced a lot for this.” Hearing Melissa’s words, Coach Turner turned around. “No need to be nervous, girls.

“Math class is boring,” thought Tyler. Wishing that he could be in P.E., Tyler tried to concentrate on the x’s and y’s as Mrs. Smith explained the equation.

When the bus came, Sharon got on, carrying her pink backpack. It was the first day of school, and Sharon was nervous. She smiled, though, when she saw her best friend Kevin sitting in the back. Kevin was nervous, too. So, he was thrilled to see Sharon. Maybe this day would not be so bad after all.

"The old house creaked and groaned as I walked through the dusty attic, my flashlight beam dancing across cobweb-covered furniture. I shivered, not just from the chill in the air, but from the feeling of being watched. My heart pounded against my ribs as I reached the far corner, where a faded, wooden chest sat tucked away.

It didn’t matter how low we kept the TV or how quietly we walked, he always seemed to be complaining. With Ringo making so much noise, Mr. Jenson would finally have a real reason to complain.
