The New Kid

The Recess Gang were learning the plant version of Science, with Mickey apparently having forgotten to put his seed in. They decided to do an early Recess that day. Greta distracted Miss Ropey while the rest got the clock key, and when Rigelli moved the hands of it, the hands of the school clock moved. Rigelli moved it until it said 10.00. But before they went out, a uniformed man called Lieutenant Rimple came to bring his son, Russell Rimple, to the class. Then they all went out to Recess.

CJ showed Russ around, but then, Queen Barb came and Russ blurted out he was the New Kid, which made Barb point out the Old New Kid, Maurice D. Zhingle, and announce he is no longer a nobody and introduce Russ as the New New Kid. All day long, everyone kept calling Russ “New Kid” which made the Recess Gang sad for him.

They decided to make a celebration, where there were signs identified him as Russ. But then when Queen Barb came, they started calling him New Kid again, which made him confront Barb and demand his name back, which Barb agreed to. Maurice complained he was known as New Kid for years, but Barb said he should have made a stand, like Russ did.

The End.
