Friday, Part One
It was Friday.
The worst day of the week.
Sam had games first period.
Sam hated games.
Games gave her zero pleasure.
She was no good at games.
She could never get to the ball.
She  was always last.
Okay class, said Miss Jones.
We are going to try# something different today.
We are going to try# long-distance running.
You need to run around# the track four times.
The secret is to pace yourselves.
Everyone ready?
Off you go!
Four times around the track?
Four laps?
I will never# be able to do this, thought Sam.
The whistle blew.
Sam started running.
She tried to think about# the next weekend.
She was going to visit# her grandparents in the country.
She loved going to the country.
