You hear the bell chime, signalling that school has finally ended for the day. It's Friday, so you've finally made it through your first week at your new school.

You quickly gather up your things and put them in your backpack. You then race down the hallways, slowing down whenever you pass a teacher, and finally see your meetup spot ahead. Underneath the flagpoles in the courtyard, you spy a small figure already there. It's Ana. She's two years younger than you, and has just started kindergarten this year. You quickly jog up to her and wave your hand. "Hey, Ana!"

When she sees you, Ana blushes a little, before nodding to you and then raising her notebook in front of her face. Aw, she's still shy around you. Well, you've only known each other for a little time. You've always been good at making friends, so you're sure you'll be able to get her to open up to you eventually.

You look around the courtyard, looking for the last one in your group. His name is Willy, and he's three years older than you, already in the fifth grade. It looks like he hasn't arrived yet, so you'll have to wait a little before you go home.

You new house is just a little ways from the school, so the three of you always walk home together. You can't wait to get home, and start the weekend early. What should you play when you get home? You start planning the rest of your day as the two of you wait for the boy to show.

Finally, you see him in the distance as he makes his way towards you. "Sorry, I gotta stay and help out here for awhile." It looks like he's holding a small slip of paper in his hand. "You guys know the way home, right? Go on ahead, and I'll come later." Ana frowns, and voices her displeasure. Apparently she doesn't want to be alone with you, deciding she'd rather wait for Willy to get done with whatever he needed to do. While your two cousins are discussing it, you happen to see what's written on the paper in Willy's hand. 'Detention.' You smile to yourself. Willy is quite the prankster. You wonder what he was doing that got him caught this time.

"No, I'm going to be awhile. You should go on home with Angela." Willy is still trying to convince his younger sibling to accompany you. Hmm, what should you do? You would love the chance to play with Ana. Maybe it would help her get used to you if you spent some time together. However, you don't want to force her to come with you... she might end up hating you if you make her. After a little thought, you come to a decision.
