Today is Friday, and that means it’s park day! My best friends and I go to the park every Friday after school. Today we head straight to the basketball court.
I love the court because it’s the best place to ro-o-oll on my skateboard. Lily loves it because it’s the best place to play basketball. And Jasmine loves it because it’s the best place to draw on the smooth surface with sidewalk chalk. It’s the perfect place for us. Obviously.
I slalom around Lily. ZOOMIE! ZOOM! ZOOM! She dunks a three-pointer or whatever.
I whiz past Jasmine. ZOOMIE! ZOOM! ZOOM! She’s drawing a picture of Posey.
“Hi, Posey!” I shout as I fly by.
The picture of Posey pops to life—as in, real life.
I’m so distracted that I skate right into Lily.
WIPEOUT!
Lily and I bumble-tumble to the ground.
“Oopsy-daisy!” I cry. Lily and I untangle ourselves and check for scrapes.
“Are you okay?” everyone asks at the exact same time!
“JINX!” we shout, and then we crack up. We are definitely best friends.
