9 A Big Sorry

9 A BIG Sorry Friday I flew to school super early tonight, Diary. Mrs. Featherbottom was the only owl there.

Hello, Eva! Has the Owl Times been printed yet? Not yet. I was just about to print it. Why? May I add something to it first? Sure, Eva. Then maybe you could help me pass out the newspapers? I'd love to help!

I placed a newspaper on each desk. Everyone started reading as soon as they got to class! The Owl Times Owl Always Love You BY EVA WINGDALE I learned something big this week: friendship is tricky. When I tried to make a new friend, I nearly lost an old friend. My oldest, bestest friend- Lucy Beakman. Lucy always makes me happy, always has time for me, and always lends a helping wing when I need one. I know now that while it's great to make new friends, we must never forget how special our old friendships are. (Lucy, I'm so sorry. I miss you.) Me and Lucy when we were baby owlets

Lucy looked up after she read the article. I flew over. I'm sorry I haven't been a good friend, Lucy. I miss you. I miss you, too, Eva! You're the best friend ever! No, you're the best friend ever!

I handed Lucy my movie tickets. You and Hailey should go see Wingderella before your sleepover. Thank you, Eva! But I want you to come to the sleepover, too! Besides, your drawing was amazing! I couldn't see Wingderella without you. Hailey must have heard us talking. She flew right over. What if the three of us chipped in to pay for a third ticket? Then we could all go! That's a great idea! That would be owlsome!

Just then, I realized another BIG thing about friendship: the more, the merrier! Who else wants to come to the movies tomorrow? Everyone raised their wings! Then Mrs. Featherbottom HOOTED: Eva has perfect timing, class! Principal Eggmington said he was so impressed with your newspaper that we can all take a field trip to the movies! Now everyone can go!
