Grace came up to me and said that she thought Mr. Frank was for sure going to get a real good mark on this project from Miss Lois. She could tell this because Mr. Frank and Miss Lois were talking and doing lots of smiling. Then Grace gave me a hug and said, "I'll see you later, Grace." "See you, Grace," I said, and I waved a goodbye at her that turned into a hello wave to Mimi, who was watching us.
Mimi walked over real slow, and that was probably because she was scared she was still going to be allergic to me. I couldn't wait to tell her how great she was in the N, and how I never could have believed it if I didn't see it with my very own eyes.
Mimi was not as happy as I thought she'd be, and I could tell that because of my empathy power. She said thank you but then didn't want to talk about it anymore. I was hoping she would do a handstand just for me so I could see close up how to do it, but instead she wanted to talk about her poster. "Did you guess which one I did?" asked Mimi.
I looked around the room but I couldn't decide which one to pick. "That one," said Mimi, and she pointed to the Lost My Best Friend poster next to the fire alarm. I couldn't believe it. Mimi had the saddest poster in the whole class and it was a message all about me.
"Mimi, I'm not lost. I'm right here," I said. "But what about your new Grace friends?" asked Mimi. I could tell that she wasn't believing me 100 percent that she was still my best friend forever. She was feeling the exact same way I used to be feeling about Max and Sammy, except maybe even worse, because I didn't make my poster about it.
