Chapter 4 The Disagreedment
On Monday I skipped into Room Nine very thrilled.
"Mrs.! Mrs.! Look!" I said. "I have all my valentimes for the big, giant valentimes box!They are right here in this paper bag I am carrying!"
I runned and showed her inside it. "See them? See them, Mrs.?I matched every single card to the exact person who will get it!" I explained.
Mrs. patted my head. She said the word good job. Then she took me by my hand.And she showed me how to put my valentimes through the mail slot in the box.
"I do believe that you are the very first person in Room Nine to bring in her cards," said Mrs.
I did a gasp at that exciting news! "First, Mrs.?" I asked. "I am really, really first?"
After that, I springed way high in the air. And I ran around and around in a circle.
"I've never been first at anything before!" I said real squealy."Not ever, ever never! And so what is my prize for winning?"
I closed my eyes and held out my hands.
"Put it right in my hands, okay, Mrs.? I won't even peek. promise!"
After that, I stood there real patient. But nothing got put in my hands.
Finally, Mrs. bended down next to my ear.
"Junie B., honey, I'm really sorry. But there is no prize," she said."We weren't actually having a contest."
I opened my eyes. "We weren't?" I asked. Mrs. shook her head no.
My shoulders slumped a teeny bit.
"So then, a prize would be out of the question, probably," I said.
Mrs. shrugged. "I'm afraid I didn't buy any prizes," she said.
After that, I rocked back and forth on my feet. And I thought and thought.
"Would you have a mint in your drawer, maybe?Or some stickers?" I asked. Mrs. smiled.
Then she took me to her desk. And we looked in her drawer.
"How about a broken piece of chalk and a yellow rubber band?" she asked.
"Sold!" I said. After that, Mrs. told me congratulations. And she gave me my prizes.
I quick skipped to my table to show them to Lucille. She wrinkled up her nose.
"Yuck. Have you been going through the trash can again?" she asked.
"No, silly! These are my prizes!" I said."I got prizes for bringing in my valentimes first!" Lucille smoothed her dress.
"Yes, well, I would have brought my cards in today, too.But they're not back from the printers yet," she told me. "What?" I said. "What printers?"
"The printers where they print my name on the cards," she said. "Wait till you see them, Junie B.!Every card will have Love and kisses from Lucille on the bottom of it!" She hugged herself.
"They are so beautiful," she said. "Each valentine has a cherry lollipop on the front.And the lollipop is in the shape of Cupid." She sighed very dreamy.
"Cupid is the symbol of Valentine's Day, you know," she said.
"Of course I know," I said back."Plus also skunks and shoes are symbols of Valentime's Day, too.'Cause that's what are on my cards."
After that, me and Lucille did our work till recess.
Then both of us went outside to play with our other bestest friend, Grace.
Only too bad for us. 'Cause Lucille kept on bragging about Valentime's Day.And that's how come she and that Grace got into a disagreedment.
"I am going to get more valentines than anyone," bragged Lucille."That's because the boys love me better than any other girl.And they will bring me lots and lots of cards." Grace looked curious at her.
"But Mrs. said to only bring one card for every boy and girl, remember?Not lots and lots." Lucille flounced her flouncy dress.
"Silly Grace. Look at me, for goodness' sake! I am precious!And when you're precious, boys automatically bring you lots of valentines.They just can't help theirselves." She twirled all around.
