This week we finished reading chapter four in Bridge to Terabithia. We also had a quiz on that chapter. It was Friday, and Miss Edmunds was back. The fifth grade had music right after recess. Jess had passed Miss Edmunds in the hall earlier in the day, and she had stopped him and made a fuss over him. At music class, she's warm and welcoming and invites Leslie in. They sing "Free to be You and Me," and when the song's over Jess smiles at Leslie. He decides to change and be her friend. On the way back to school in the bus, she talks about where she used to live and how she misses her old school. he tells him that she moved because her parents "are reassessing their value structure." They were hooked on money and they bought the farm so they can think what's important. But Leslie had other problems like she didn't have a television. Mrs. Myers read aloud Leslie's composition about her favorite hobby. Mrs. Myer said that Leslie's hobby was unusual for a girl. It was scuba diving. Being Mrs. Myers's pet was "pure poison". After that, she assigned a homework assignment that on Channel 7 at 8pm there is going to be a special about a famous underwater explorer, Jacques Cousteau. but Leslie asks what she should do since she doesn't have a TV. Jess knows that was a big mistake and people are going to make fun of her. Sure enough, at recess he sees a bunch of girls teasing her. She runs off. He waits by the girls' bathroom and tries to console her, but doesn't do a very good job. On the bus ride home that afternoon, Leslie isn't paying attention and sits in a part of the bus that's reserved for seventh graders. Jess tries to get her out in time before the bullies come, but it's too late, and has to face the mean Janice Avery. He distracts Janice by calling her fat and they escape to the front of the bus. This helps them bond, but Janice is going to have it in for Jess. Leslie asks him to hang out when they get off the bus. They put May Belle off by giving her some of Leslie's new paper dolls. This distracts her and she leaves the two of them in peace.
