Tuesday, February 10, 1:20 p.m., West Hollywood North Elementary School
The entire playground was in view from the top of the monkey bars. Bette had never noticed that before in all of the months that she had sat at that perch during recess.
Just like the lunchroom, the playground had a hierarchy, territories allotted by seniority, but the third graders shared recess with only the kindergartners and first and second graders, so the third graders were the kings of the yard. The kings had claimed the monkey bars as their exclusive turf, as it had ever been by the third graders, year after year, throughout the written history (and even oral history) of the West Hollywood North Elementary School.
Bette had claimed the uppermost part of the monkey bars during the very first recess of the school year, and had not surrendered it since, though many had tried to share her perch.
Her friend Alice, who had misplaced her daredevil gene, sat two sections below, her legs swinging back and forth as she chattered. “This time she says we’re going to Rome. What am I gonna do in Rome? She always makes me stay inside the hotel room, and the people in the hotel get mad if I order lots of stuff from room service. I don’t wanna go.”
“Then don’t go.” Bette yelled down to her friend.
“She says I have to.”
“Why?”
“Because there’s no one to mind me.”
“You can stay with us.”
Alice’s heart leapt for just a moment. Then she remembered Bette’s father. . .scary, mean-looking Melvin Porter.
“I’m gonna go to Rome.”
“I thought you didn’t want to.”
“I changed my mind.”
~~
The second graders claimed the seesaws, as it had always been for all second graders throughout the written (and oral) history of the West Hollywood North Elementary School. The first graders grabbed the slides and the kindergartners got—empty space.
Dana sat at the end of the seesaw that was up in the air and yelled, “Let me down!”
Dana had reluctantly agreed to share the ride with someone other than her friend Tina. She had carefully eyed Anya and thought that they weighed about the same. In the middle of last week, she hadn’t been careful and Joshua had been able to keep her up in the air until she almost cried. She had only gotten down because Tina had punched Joshua.

You have nailed the drama of an Elementary school on the head. All the tattle telling and cry babies, and those who make every persons’ life miserable can be quite hilarious to see. In most cases when someone comes to tattle on someone else it is the tattle teller that started the entire situation.
This is just too cute. Tina to the rescue and you had to name the crybaby and stupid boy, Josh(ua). I loved that chapter.
wow, point 1 for Tina…keep them coming
Ah…young Tina aka super hero!!! And Bette…watching “her little woman” get tough. Oh, so adorable!!
This is like watching a movie and eating pop corn. Great!
That was wonderful and Bette watch out for Tina and ready to kick some ass lol, Tina is a sweet heart look out for Dana and safe her from stupid josh. Please post more thanks!
So Josh was a thorn in Tina side for years. Super Hero to Dana I love this thanks the aminal lover.
I’m trying to picture little Tina, little Bette, Alice and Dana. They’re little cuties….cute little lezzies…LOL
:)
This is just so great! Thank you.
I laugh out loud at Dana’s little seesaw situation. So damn cute. Thank you :D

Hi Spumoni, thank you for another fine addition to this new adventure.The idea of Tina and Bette pining for each other at school has so much potential.I am so enjoying their subtle glances and quiet murmurs. And now to spoil it all Alice has caught on. More fun ahead I think.As for Tina and Dana, what a double act. Tina taking charge and ready to burst Josh’s head for his bullying and Dana as comic relief.Just perfect.More please.Many thanks from A New Fan.
Suddenly I am longing for the empty space of kindergarten… oh wait! I’m already there! It’s called writer’s block =O Love that you’re writing again, Spumoni, and adore the fluffy beginning ;) SK/C
“Our girls” are so cute, even in elementary school they were learning how to defend and protect their best friends and admire each other from afar. Liked that Bette was about to go over and protect Tina and Dana alleviate the situation with bully josh. And Alice was the ever-present thorn in their sides. All of them laying the foundation for the ladies they were to become in adulthood. Funny and sweet. Thanks for posting.

This story is so cute and funny. I am looking forward to every chapter. PPS!!
So each is the alpha of their respective classes. Figures. But god, Spumoni, you keep reminding me of long ago pain. The literal kind. First the kick to the shin and now the trauma of the see-saw. My cousin jumped off his end without warning (this wasn’t malicious, he just ran to whatever caught his attention, possibly something shiny), leaving me to plummet. Unlike Dana, I was not able to jump up and tell anybody I was down, because I was still down. It totally knocked the wind out of me and I simply fell to the side unable to breathe. Thanks for the memories.
