Chapter 1: Young Phil and Gertie
Today was Phil and Mitzi's first day of school. They would be starting the 4th grade. "Children, Don't forget your lunch,because you will have to walk miles from school to get it,and I may not be home." Phil and Mitzi grabbed their lunch from Their father's hands,and left to walk to school.When they got there,They met a Tall lady who was the 4th grade teacher. Her name was Mrs.Crenshaw. "Please Take your seats at any of the open desks." Phil and Mitzi walked in the classroom. Mitzi took a seat behind a Little girl with Blonde hair in Pigtails. Her name was Gertie, and that would be the start of her and Mitzi's friendship. When Gertie saw Phil took his seat In the Desk in front of her, She was Amazed. She Ioved his Dark Brown hair, and that Chin. "Alright class. Please open your Workbooks to page 96." Mrs. Crenshaw instructed. Gertie rolled up some paper, Got a straw, Chewed on the paper, and shooted Spit balls at Phil's head. Phil turned around, only to see Gertie sitting like she did'nt do anything. "Hey!Cut that out!" Phil whispered,Annoyed. Gertie shrugged, "What did I do,Chin boy?" That would be the Beginning of Gertie and Phil's Relationship.
A couple Weeks later:
Weeks had gone by since the first day of Fourth Grade, and Phil had continued to be tormented by Gertie, And Phil Was a Class Clown who ALMOST Knew all the answers in class, and had gotton good grades on his tests. Class had Just let out for a lunch break. Phil walked with Three of his Best friends, Bill, Dan, And Steve. He chose one spot at one end of the Table with all of his friends. Meanwhile Gertie sat at the other end of the Table all alone, waiting for her Only friend, Mitzi, to come out of the bathroom. She had just Realized that she forgot her lunch, and she could'nt go back to her house to grab it, because Both her parents were not home. Phil saw Gertie at the other end of the Table, sighing. She had looked like she had no Lunch. Bill Nudged Phil."Why are you looking at Gertie? She's just one of the boys." Phil Turned and Gave Bill the Stunned look."I was'nt looking at Gertie, Bill. Not in that way. She is Just one of the boys, I know that. But she Has No lunch, so I'm going over there." Phil got up, and he walked towards Gertie. Phil's friends just looked at him Crazy. "Gertie." Phil said Nervously, "Do you have a lunch?" Gertie looked up into Phil's Dark Dreamy Brown eyes. "No." She Sighed."What are you doing over here anyway,Chin boy? Why are'nt you with your Friends?" Phil Did'nt Answer her question. He Dropped the lunch down in front of her ,saying,"You can have mine. I'm not Hungry." Phil started to walk towards his Friends, when he heard,"Wait,Thank you." Phil Smiled at her and sat back down with his friends. Gertie looked in the bag Phil gave her. It was A Cookie, Water, A Grilled Cheese sandwich, And a Apple. Mitzi Finally came back from the Bathroom and sat down. She looked at Gertie." I thought you did'nt have a lunch? Did my brother give You his?" Gertie nodded. "Yes he did. What's it to you, Mitzi?" Mitzi shook her head. "Nothing. It's just I never thought my brother would do such a thing. He usually Eats his lunch."Gertie smiled, and the two friends ate their lunch. Later that day, Gertie still Tormented Phil, and Blamed him for things he did'nt do. Everyone had a fair share of laughter that day."Mrs.Crenshaw,Phil poored Ink on my hair." Phil Gasped,"Wait!No I did'nt." The Teacher schowled."Phil,Please come to the front of the class." At Recess, Gertie made fun of Phil's Batting stance. "HaHa!You swing like a little Nancy boy!" Phil gave her a dirty look, but Continued to play the game. Gertie Got upset that Phil's team won, so she Destroyed his bat. After school let out, Phil walked with his other Friend, Jimmy,Home. Gertie walked with Mitzi. Mitzi walked ahead, but Gertie just stayed back. Gertie thought to herself,I like Phil. Why do I have to always be so mean to him. I should say I'm sorry, and how I really feel about him. She found a Tulip, and picked the best one for him.
