We went down the ladder and he helped me to the ground when we got to the third floor landing. We went out the first floor door and picked up our toys. The cannonball and the paratrooper toy were the best. I wondered why this school was so cool, except for an angry cheerleader who made other students wet their pants.
Back in class we had to answer our workbook questions.

I finished the paper and turned it in and sat beside Robbie. Just then the bell rang. I started to get up, but everyone else was seated.
Robbie looked at me. “It’s just the announcements period.”
“That’s right,” I said. We set and gossiped, but then the loudspeaker started to blare.
