[ Chapter One: The Kindergarten Incident ]

AGE: 5 

AS MUCH AS MARY LOVES HER MOTHER, she loves Kindergarten a bit more if she was being honest. In class, she could see her best friends and play around during their free time, sometimes she even naps. The only thing that brought her down was Lana who was always mean to everybody except Anna and Fontana.  

She always sat in the back table with her twin sister and Lilly. Sometimes, even Jeremiah joined them when he decided that girls didn't have cooties. It made Mary, Mia, and Lilly upset whenever he did this but they always welcomed him back with open arms.

It was already their free time and the five of them where outside sitting on a table. Mia and Mary sat together, both of them pulling out their identical lunches which consisted of apple juice, baby carrots, and a half pieced sandwiched. Lilly had kool-aid, 3 cookies, and baby carrots along with a half sandwich while Jeremiah had grape juice, a whole sandwich that was split in half, with the other half being shared with his friends and baby carrots.

This day would be remembered forever in the young minds of the four children. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be for a good reason. But for Lilly, it would be hilarious much to the chagrin of Mary, Mia, and Jeremiah.

Jeremiah was the one who made the first move by opening his lunch box and the rest soon followed. Even though they were quiet, the rest of the playground was alive and active due to Josh leading the boys to attack the girls who kept running from them. Some of their classmates and 1st and 2nd graders were eating their lunch before joining the game.

"What type of sandwich do you have?" Mary asked Mia curiously as she turned her head sideways to face her

"Peanut butter and jelly. What did you get it?" Mia asked her as she quickly took a bite of her food

"Peanut butter and strawberry jam," Mary answered her before she heard a small pop and the next thing she knew, the upper half of her dress now had a purple stain

"Jeremiah!" Both Mary and Mia exclaimed angrily at the brown-haired boy who held a sheepish smile

"Sorry, Mary. I didn't know it was going to pop. I'm really sorry." Jeremiah apologized to the girl in front of him 

Mary didn't say anything to him, she just sighed and stood up from her seat. Jeremiah tried to apologize to her once more but Mary was upset too upset to listen to him at the moment. Apparently, her now ruined day was going to be worse due to Lana spotting her. 

"Mary peed herself! Mary peed herself!" Lana taunted loudly catching everyone's attention to focus on Mary

"I'm so sorry, Mary." Jeremiah apologized once more to Mary as Mia got off her seat and rushed her back to the classroom

"Don't worry, Mary. Nobody's going to believe Lana." Mia tried to comfort her younger twin as they reached the door to the classroom
