Number 7, Some School Words. I wore my brand new things back to Room 9. They looked very beautiful on me, except my pink high tops were too big. And my feet were very sliding around in there. Before I sat down, I looked at Lucille's red chair. Then I tapped her on her. I'm sorry, Lucille, I said, but red is my favorite color, and so I would like that chair of yours, I think. Lucille looked very upset at me. But red is my favorite color too, Junie B. A predator. I know, Lucille. I said nicely. But you still must give it to me. It's the rules. So she did. Now I'm the winner for sure, aren't I? she asked. I made my shoulders go up and down. I don't know, Lucille, I said. That Grace said she might have some cash in her purse. After that, Mrs. passed out construction paper and we cut out autumn leaves for our bulletin board. Autumn is the school word for fall. We sprinkled our leaves with shiny glitter. Also, I sprinkled glitter in my hair and I pasted some on my eyebrows. Then Mrs. confiscated my shiny glitter jar. Confiscate is the school word for yanked it right out of my hand. Then she— just then Mrs. Guzman knocked on our door and she came into our room with our milk and cookies.
Hooray!
Hooray for Mrs. Gutzman! I shouted. Guess what, Mrs. Gutzman? I get 3 snacks today. See, I have 3 snack tickets. Mrs. walked over to my chair. She stared down at me.
How did you get 2 extra tickets, Mrs. Junie B?
she asked.
Did you find them on the playground?
Then she took my extra— 2 extra tickets away, and she held Them way high in the air?
Did anyone lose snack tickets today?
she said to the class.
No!
I hollered. Those are my tickets! Lucille and Grace gave them to me! Mrs. raised her eyebrows.
Lucille, did you give Judy B. your snack ticket today?
she asked. Yes, said Lucille. That's because she made me. Only— No, I did not, you dumb Lucille! I said. I did not make you! Mrs. said, be quiet to me! She folded her arms.
Grace, did you give your snack ticket to Junie B too?
Then That Grace started to cry because she thought she was in trouble. Mrs. tapped her foot.
Please come get your snack tickets, Grace, she said.
And so then That Grace walked Grace walked up to my table in her socks, and Mrs. made squinty eyes at her feet.
Where are your shoes, Grace?
she asked. That's when big fat baby Grace started crying very harder, and she pointed at her shoes. Mrs. peeped under my table.
Junie B. Jones!
she hollered.
Why are you wearing Grace's shoes?
Mrs. sounded dangerous. Because... I said, kind of scared.
Because why?
said Mrs. Because it's the rules, I said. Then Mrs. bended down very close to my ear.
What rules?
The rules for who gets to be the first one to see my monkey brother, I said. Mrs. rolled her eyes way back in her head.
Okay, put your orange shoes back on and come with me, young lady, she said.
Then Me and her walked into the hall together and she made me tell her what happened on the playground. After that, I had to give Lucille back the locket and the sweater with the Scottie dog on it, and I had to give Grace back the real genuine fake ring from the cereal. Then Mrs. Mote wrote a note and she said for me to take it to the office. The office is where the boss of the school lives. His name is Principal. Yes, but I don't think I would like to go down there today, I said, or else my mother might get mad at me. Mrs. tapped her foot. Then she took hold of my hand.
Let's go, young lady! La, march!
she said. And so then me and her marched to the office. March is the school word for pulled me way too fast.
