  The day started like any other school day for Klee. Jean woke her up, she ate breakfast, brushed her teeth, changed into her school clothes, packed her firecrackers, Jean checked her bag for firecrackers and took them —it was their usual routine.
However, today Jean could not drive Klee to school so she had to take the bus.
Jean held Klee's hand while they waited for the bus and they went over the rules and affirmations like usual.
"No causing fires, no blowing things up, and try to focus on your school work instead of explosions, please." Jean recited
"Yes ma'am." Klee responded gleefully.
Jean wasn't Klee's mom, as Klee's mom wasn't able to take care of her properly, so for the longest time it was Jean and Klee. Klee's dad had gone off to be a soldier, and he would come back occasionally with little knickknacks and trinkets for Klee, as gifts.
"And what are our affirmations?" Jean asked
"I am beautiful, I am smart, and I'm gonna kick today in the tuchus." They quoted at the same time
"Good girl." Jean pet Klee's head as the bus rolled up
"Have a good day Miss Jean!" Klee shouted gleefully from the bus door
"Have a good day Klee!" Jean responded with a smile
The first thing that Klee noticed on the bus was how crowded it was. In Miss Jean's car it was only Klee in the back and Jean in the driver's spot, but on the bus almost every seat was taken. Klee looked around for an open seat as the bus driver narrowed his eyes at her. She spotted one on the left side, second to last, and rushed to it
*Not a very good start on the bus* she thought.
Klee looked out the window as the bus pushed forward and watched as her house rolled by, then another house and another.
Watching through the window was nice, but she also happened to eavesdrop on a conversation held by two other girls
"Did you hear Jenny's having a sleepover Friday?"
"Yeah I can't believe I wasn't invited !"
"What's a sleepover?" Klee interrupted, peeking over the gray feaux leather seat
The girls gave Klee a look that was mixed with disgust and fear.
Klee knew this look well by now. She had brought firecrackers once to school before and it had not gone well. The smoke alarm went off and the sprinklers went on.
"A sleepover is where you get friends to come to your house and spend the night."
Girl 1 said
"You probably won't have one anytime soon because you have no friends" Girl 2 retorted, and both girls giggled.
Klee paid no attention to the mean comment however, she was thinking about how magical this "sleepover" sounded. She would definitely have to ask her friends if they wanted to do that, and Miss Jean.
She sat back down and beamed daydreaming about it.
