It's Going To Be a Long Summer By Phyllis Naegeli

---

¹     "What's wrong?" Mom asked Shelly as the young girl came into the kitchen and plopped down on a chair.
 
²     Shelly pouted and crossed her arms. "Today is the last day of school!"
 
³     "I know. Aren't you excited about having the whole summer off?" asked Mom.
 
⁴     Shelly burst into tears. "Not without Kristy!" she sobbed, putting her head in her hands.
 
⁵     "Oh," said Mom, shaking her head in sympathy as she walked over to the table and put her hands on Shelly's shoulders to console her. Slowly, Shelly composed herself.
 
⁶     "Kristy is my best friend, Mom. What I am going to do ALL summer without her?"
 
⁷     "It will be okay. After all, it's not the WHOLE summer. She's just going to visit her grandparents until the end of July," said Mom.
 
⁸     Shelly got up from the table, walked over to the counter, and grabbed her lunch. "But it's such a long time," she said, pouting again.
 
⁹     "It will go by quickly. Is Kristy still coming over after school today?"
 
¹⁰     "I think so," said Shelly as she picked up her backpack and put her lunch inside the pack.
 
¹¹     "Then I will see you both this afternoon," said Mom, ushering Shelly out the door as the bus drove up to the end of the driveway.
 
¹²     "Bye, Mom," said Shelly, hanging her head and walking slowly to the bus.
 
¹³     Shelly got on the bus and sat down next to Kristy. "Have you been crying, too?" asked Kristy.
 
¹⁴     "All morning!" said Shelly. "I can't believe it's the end of the school year already, and you have to go away."
