Explorers of delight chapter 1

Transcript
Mya’s dad: Are you excited about your first day at your new school, Mya?

Mya: I am, Dad! I hope my new school is better than my old school.

Mya’s dad: I bet it will, sweetie. You might meet some kids who are in the fourth grade just like you, and you could make some new friends.

Mya: I hope so. I miss my old friends from Wilmer.

Mya’s dad: Got everything you need in your backpack?

Mya: Yes, I do!

Mya’s dad: Let's get going. We don't want to be late.

(Her dad drives Mya over to school. Mya bounces in her seat, her body trembling with excitement)

Mya: This is gonna be awesome! I can't wait to see what my new school is like!

Mya’s dad: Settle down. I know you're excited, but stay still or you'll break the car's seats.

(Mya forces herself to sit still, but she can't help how excited she feels)

Mya: I can't wait to start school! I hope it's better than my old school!

Mya’s dad: Don't worry about it, my little princess. The most important thing is that, even though it's a new school, it could be just as good as your old one. You'll do just fine.

(Finally, they arrive at the school. Olivia gazes at it in wide-eyed wonder. She is awed by how big the school is compared to her old one in Wilmer. Without even knowing, she begins to unconsciously bounce in her seat again, getting more excited the closer the car gets to the school)

Mya: Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm gonna be a new student at Third Street Elementary School! I'm so excited!

(As the car stops, Mya grabs her backpack and jumps out of the car)

Mya’s dad: But listen, sweetheart - you be careful, alright? I don't want you getting into any trouble. Also, you’ll be staying for 7 days and 7 nights

Mya: I won't cause any trouble. I promise!

Mya’s dad: Yeah, well, I trust you not to cause trouble, but that's not the same thing as not getting into it. It's the other kids I'm worried about. Now I'll see you in the afternoon for 7 days, when I pick you up at 3:20. Okay?

Mya: Okay! See you, Dad! This is gonna be great!

(Mya runs to the entrance of the school and opens the doors. She can't believe what the school looks like on the inside)

Mya: Wow! This place is a lot bigger than I imagined it. The floors are so shiny, and the hallways are so long! I feel like I'm a kid in a candy store, ready for fresh discoveries.
