Hey, how's it going? It's US again! Ya' know, Sally and Allie? Well, it's us again. Anyway, today we're posting something you will faint for if you do not know about it, we had a... SUBSITUTE! Or Sub, as Sally would put it. So, let's get started.

Sally: Today, was music day, AGAIN! You people all know I hate to waste my time on music, right? Just kiddin' people. Anyway, our teacher is like extra extra strict. Since Allie and I both were new to orchestra this year, we didn't expect anything. But we had our friend Geen-Geen to depend on. Geen-Geen told us that Mrs. Simpson was extra strict, but not mean. But still, we had our worries. Especially me. I couldn't find my music book at home, and my mom scurried me away, telling me it was at school. Guess what? It was in my desk, sitting there nicely when I had freaked out at home trying to find it. I burst out laughing. Thank God there was a sub sitting at the desk, or else I would've gotten in trouble because, "Morning time is supposed to be timid and quiet!" Mr. McD. would say. Anyway, I played my best on the violin, all the time paying attention to Geen-Geen. She was on the same song I was playing at my private lessons. I was wondering maybe we could do a duet, she playing the First Violin and me playing the Second Violin or something. 5...4...3...2...1... Rrrrrring! It was time to go back to our classrooms. I said bye to Geen-Geen as she and her classmate Grayson went back to Mrs. Derimin's class. After school, I begged my mom to tell me what Mr. McD. had said about me during their parent-teacher conferences. She said that everything he said about me was good, except that I should work on my mental math. I stiffened. Mental math was practically the only thing I was good at in math! (Other than algebra, which is an exception.) Anyway, it was, I guess, a lucky day for me, finding my book in class and having good talk about me in the conference. Now, back to Allie.

Allie:Hey everyone!! Anyways, we walked into the classroom on Wednesday and I saw on the board written in careful script MS. SEGERHAMMAR. I was like whoa. Who could have a last name like that?? Well anyways, she was really nice. After two hours of school, we finally raced out to recess. In the kickball game that me and Sally played I had one of my best kicks ever. But GUESS WHAT?? My best kick flew into the air.....right into Alissa's arms. I was SO disappointed. But I got over it.

See ya everyone!!
