“I knew that nothing would ever tear us apart. Life is Great… Have you ever had an older person say to you – “Don’t say that, you’ll jinx yourself.” Well, listen to that advice! Maddi and I planned to arrive at school half an hour early to spend some time together. Yes it was all going along like a perfect dream. I had fallen head over heels in love with this girl, just the thought of her brought a smile to my face and a warm feeling to my heart. There we were…it was a beautiful sunny day, not a cloud in the sky. We were walking towards each other, smiling happily. Our bodies were only yards apart. Then from out of the blue, Linda appeared! She stood between us and we both bumped into her. “Easy on guys,” she said, smiling. Maddi wasn’t smiling, in fact she looked like she wanted to rip Linda’s head off! “So glad I caught you before class Richie, I have some great news!” she said with a huge smile on her face. I didn’t want to be rude, but I knew Maddi was about to explode. “Hey Linda, can you tell me later, Maddi and I have something we urgently need to talk about,” I said, telling a white lie. “Cool! So you are breaking up with her! I could never see what you saw in her anyway,” she said this right in front of my girlfriend, the girl I was eventually going to marry, the girl who held my heart! “WHAT!” yelled Maddi. I tried to get the words out, but I was so flabbergasted I became tongue-tied! Then eventually (it seemed like hours later, but I’m sure it was only a couple of seconds) the word, “NO!” came out. Linda pretended she was upset, “Oh my goodness, Richie, I’m so sorry, you haven’t told her yet. How insensitive of me! Maddi now that you know and I’m sorry for blurting out the news, you might want to toddle off so Richie and I can talk about our weekend away.” Maddi and Linda stood face to face. The rage coming from Maddi’s body was enough to light a fire. Linda relayed the same intensity of hatred.”

“My buddy, Charlotte, also chose gardening as an activity. She was planting some flower seeds. I made the little holes for her, and she carefully put each seed in. She was so cute! Every time she planted a seed, she blew it a kiss and wished it good luck.”

“real one. I have to tell you it is AWESOME! This is my story of how I came to have a little red monster friend called Boris…. My name is Bob, my friends always call me Bobby. Mom and Dad call me Bob when I’m in trouble, and Mom calls me Boo Boo Bear at home. This is really annoying and embarrassing, especially when my friends are around. After all, I’m in Grade 4 now, I’m almost a teenager! Dad is a teacher at my school. His name is Mr. Campbell and the kids all really like him, except for Jack. Jack is a bully! Jack is not nice! And Jack gives me a hard time!”

“Dad called the principal before we went to school and he told me the principal was okay with what had happened. However upon entering his office, I felt terribly guilty. The poor man was in a neck collar and it was all my fault. The room smelt of sanitizer. He greeted me with a smile, “Good morning Richard.” I was so glad my dad had come with me! Straight away I burst into a full-blown apology, the words tumbling out of my mouth. He waved his hands to stop my verbal outpouring of regret and sympathy. “It’s okay, Richard, I should have replaced my chair years ago, it has always been a bit wonky. I’m fine, don’t worry. Your Dad told me the whole story and I am proud to have such a caring student at this school.” Now this scenario definitely did not play through my head last night! Then he stood and walked around his desk and put his hand on my shoulder. “Can I give you a piece of advice, Richard?” he asked. I nodded. “Sort out your girl problems, two girls and one guy…it never works out.” Breathing a sigh of relief, I shook my head in agreement, “Thank you Sir, I’ll do that.” At the same time I was thinking…how am I going to do that? He walked us out to the hallway and I hugged Dad goodbye. Walking along this hallway yesterday, I felt full of doom and gloom, but today was different. Until I saw the vice principal standing at the end. I stopped, lowered my eyes and tried to apologize. In a quiet and very firm voice, she said, “I’m watching you.” Then she turned and walked back into her office. Two down, one to go and this person was the most important one…Maddi. I walked into class slightly late and heard a few quiet giggles and whispers. Obviously the kids had been gossiping. Looking around I couldn’t see her, she was away! I let out a huge sigh. All morning I had been looking forward to working it out with her. I waved hi to Gretel, she pulled a face and looked away and that was not a good sign. That look told me that Maddi had believed Linda and that she was really mad and upset. Linda was even later than me. She walked into the classroom with a huge smile on her face and apologized for being late, then she headed towards the vacant seat next to me. I jumped up, grabbed the chair and moved it next to Ted. There was NO WAY she was going to sit next to me! Everyone laughed and she looked embarrassed, but I didn’t care. I had had enough!”

“Oh no, did she see me kiss Maddi? Did they ask Maddi the same question? What did Maddi say? Panic slowly rose in my throat. I could feel my face heating up and my head felt like a volcano about to explode…and then I thought of a detective show I had watched on the weekend. “I plead the 5th Amendment, I do not wish to give evidence against myself.” Why did I say that? I sounded like a total fruit loop, a crazy boy, someone who is hiding the truth (which I was). The principal burst into laughter, “In all my years as a principal, I’ve never heard that one before.” The vice principal wasn’t as impressed. She repeated the question, a little firmer and louder this time. If I told the truth, it would look so bad and I might be expelled anyway. My head was spinning, I suddenly felt very hot and dizzy and then I threw up. All over the Principal’s desk.”

“Did you kill the dragon?” I asked. He smiled, “No Bobby, it’s not dead I’ve just sent it back to Dream Land and it won’t ever come back again.” “Who, I mean, what are you?” I asked him. “My name is Boris and I just saved you from a dragon dream, you can thank me if you want…” he said with a huge smile on his face. “Ahh..thank”

“Thanks Mom, but I don’t think it will work,” I said hunching my shoulders and not looking forward to tonight. Mom told me it had special powers, very strong magical powers. “I’m sure it will work Boo Boo Bear (I wish she would stop calling me that), let’s just give it a try.” That night she tucked me into bed, read me a story, and told me to ask the dream catcher to catch the scary dreams. Then she switched off the light and left me all alone. I closed my eyes and repeated in my head, “Dreamcatcher please work, dreamcatcher please work….” And soon I fell asleep. I heard a high-pitched creepy noise, it sounded like fingernails scraping down a blackboard. A dragon’s claw started to slide out”
