The Bus Ride


Ramona, a twelve-year-old girl, was riding the bus to school. She hated the long, bumpy ride to school. This ride didn’t seem any different until the bus turned a corner and slid off the icy road into the ditch. After several attempts to back out of the ditch and some under-the-breath grumbling, Mac, the driver, told the kids that they would all have to walk to the nearest house. Ramona grabbed her backpack and exited the warm bus. She was up to her knees in snow. She trudged behind some of the older kids, trying to follow the path that they plowed through the deep snow. She pulled her knitted hat down over her ears and shoved her gloveless hands deep into her pockets. After hiking a couple hundred yards in the snow, they reached the house of the next would-have-been passenger.

Ramona heard the surprise in the mother’s voice when she answered the door. “What happened? Is everyone alright?”

The bus driver told the woman what had happened and asked if everyone could take shelter in her home, until other arrangements could be made.

She cheerfully welcomed the dozen or so of them into the house. Patrick, the boy who was supposed to have been picked up, was happy for the delay from school. All of the kids started asking if they were going to make it to school. Phone calls were made and the group was told to stay put until the road conditions improved.

Patrick’s mom set about making her guests comfortable. She baked chocolate chip cookies and made hot cocoa. The kids sat in front of the fireplace playing cards, laughing, and telling stories. Patrick showed Ramona and some of the others his room and his electric guitar.

It was a morning and afternoon that no one would forget. School was over by the time the country roads were clear. Parents came and picked up their children from Patrick’s house. Many words of thanks were expressed to Patrick’s mom.

The next day was clear and bright. Ramona sat on the edge of her seat willing the bus to slide off the road, but it did not.

Alfie

by T. Herlinger


"Are you sure you don't want to come with us, Alfie?" his mother asked him as she and Alfie's Dad were headed out the door. "It's a folk music concert I bet you'd really enjoy."

"That's alright, Mom. I think I'd rather stay home and watch a movie. You guys have a good time, though."

Alfie watched out the window as his parents drove away. His big sister Meg was upstairs doing her homework, and the house felt mighty quiet. Alfie got a soda from the fridge and then stood looking at all the stuff his family had tacked on the fridge door. There, front and center, was the "schedule" his mom kept of who had to be where and when. Alfie's name was only on it once—for his dental checkup. Meg's name was all over it, with her violin lessons, mostly—she was serious about the violin thing, even applying to music schools for college. The rest of the schedule was filled with concerts and plays and art gallery openings Alfie's parents were always going to.

Wow, Alfie thought as he glanced over the schedule. They're gone almost every night of the week! A feeling he did not like was creeping up on him. He was starting to wonder if he was boring because he didn't like to always be doing things. His idea of a good time was kicking back with a video of one of his favorite action movies and maybe munching on a bowl of popcorn. If he was feeling social, he might invite a friend over, but that was about it. Just as he was starting to feel that he must be too boring for even his parents to hang out with, the door opened and there was his dad.

"Did you forget something?" Alfie asked.

His dad smiled. "Yeah—you! We got about halfway there and decided we've been away from home too much lately. We'd much rather spend the evening with our number-one son. Started that movie yet?"

"You're just in time," Alfie beamed, and went to the kitchen to make the popcorn.


Based on the passage, the reader can guess that

a)

Meg wants to make music her career.

b)

Alfie and his family live in a small town.

c)

Alfie's mom does not like action movies.

d)

Meg always gets good grades in school.

The New Neighbors

by T. Herlinger


"Ugh, what's that noise?" Elsa Watson asked her dad when she got home from school. The apartment was fairly shaking with what sounded like World War III coming from the unit below them.

"It's our new neighbors." Mr. Watson said and rolled his eyes. "They evidently like to watch high-action movies all day on that giant flat-screen TV that I saw them unload. I should've known that thing would bring us grief."

Just then, Elsa's little brother Jimmy walked in, plugging his ears. "Jeez!" he yelled. "Do we have to listen to this?"

Mr. Watson set out a plate of cookies for his kids as he spoke. "I went down there earlier to say "howdy" and asked if they could keep the volume a bit lower. I guess this is their idea of 'lower.' It's a young couple, named Sid and Rita, and they said they work nights and hang out at home during the day."

"When do they sleep?" Elsa asked, her head pounding with the booming noise from below.

"They don't need sleep," Mr. Watson joked. "They're young."

"Why couldn't our old neighbors, the Bowers, have stayed here and not moved to Florida?" Jimmy whined.

By dinnertime, the noise had stopped. Elsa was relishing the quiet, but she knew it would only start up again the next day.

"Hey, where's Mom?" Elsa asked her dad as they were sitting down at the dining table.

But before he could answer, in she walked, carrying a brown paper bag and grinning.

"I think I have the answer to our little noise problem," Mrs. Watson said as she kissed her kids on top of their heads. And from the bag, she produced not one but two boxes from the local electronics store. "Headphones," she announced, "his and hers. Thought I'd bring them cookies tomorrow and these little housewarming gifts."

"You mean house-quieting gifts, don't you?" Mr. Watson said. "It's brilliant, my dear, just brilliant."


What can the reader tell about the Watsons' previous neighbors, the Bowers?

a)

Mrs. Watson gets them headphones.

b)

They are much quieter people.

c)

Jimmy doesn't like them very much.

d)

They will soon be returning to the area.

The Switched-up Saturday

Jada woke up feeling excited. She did not relax in bed like most Saturday mornings. Today, Jada quickly got dressed, ate breakfast, and cleaned her room. Just as Jada finished making her bed, her mom popped her head through the cracked doorway. The look on her face made Jada's smile fade quickly.

"Jada, I won't be able to take you to Briana's house today," Mom said softly. "I'm sorry."

Jada crossed her arms in front of her chest. "I've been waiting all week."

"I need to go to work. It's an emergency," Mom explained. "Maybe Trey can drive you over there later?"

Jada knew that was not going to happen. Her older brother would sleep the day away and then play video games all evening. But, Jada didn't want her mom to feel guilty, so she found her smile and said, "That's okay, Mom. Sorry you have to spend your Saturday working."

Her mother gave her a big hug and sighed, "Thanks for understanding."

Jada called Briana to tell her she could not come over.

"What are you going to do instead?" Brianna asked.

Jada looked around her clean room and shrugged, "I have no idea." After she hung up with her friend, Jada tried painting her fingernails, texting her friends, and dancing to music. She still felt antsy. Her eyes settled on her backpack. She pulled out her homework and got started.
