This week in class we read chapter 3 of bridge to Terabithia. In the beginning of the chapter leslie goes to mrs.myers class for the first time. the other students already start to see her as different because of her clothes. A kid named Gary Fulcher asks jess if he was going to be racing and Jess gets excited and gets ready to take him down at the lunchtime race. then jesse starts to draw in class. Gary tries to look at the picture. They start to fight and Jess steps on Gary's toe. The teacher yells at them, and Jess feels really bad about having to stay in school for so many more years. Mrs.myers is a teacher that is basally never smiling she is mad because she is the only teacher with thirty one students. Then it is recess. at recess the boys get divided into heats of four racers. Jess has to go last, so he watches his competition. Leslie comes up and tries to talk to him but he tries to ignore her again. Two boys named Jimmy and Clyde fight over who won their heat. Gary, who won his, says Clyde won, and then they all start to fight. Jess says they should both get to run. Gary makes fun of him and says that's like letting a girl race. So Jess says they should do that too and asks Leslie if she wants to run. She says yes. then after leslie wins her heat, Gary says that she should leave. but jess said that she won and that she should run in thee finals. Gary says that she is just a girl, then jess says that he too scared to loose to her, so she does run. leslie wins the whole race and leaves all of the boys surprised. Jesse is embarrassed when they leave so he sits next to may belle so that he would not have to sit next to leslie.
