Chapter 7

Doggone It!

The school day passed in a blur. I tried to concentrate on the Declaration of Independence and photosynthesis, but it was just not happening. Billy’s voice kept repeating itself in my head: “Krystal Ball, Pet Psychic!”

I was packing up my stuff when Claire and Billy came to find me.

“Hey, Krystal,” Billy said. “What are you bringing in for Show and Tell?”

“Ask again later,” I said with a smile.

“Ooh, Miss Mysterious over here!” Billy teased.

We all chuckled.

“Well, I’m going to bring in my rocket ship,” said Billy.

“Is this the model rocket you got from the planetarium?” I asked. “I was wondering when you’d finish building it.”

“Oh no, don’t be ridiculous,” Billy scoffed. “I took that thing apart and used the thrusters and blasters to soup up my model pirate ship.”

Claire and I exchanged puzzled looks.

“That’s right. I’m talking about space pirates! I don’t think the world is ready for such genius.”

Claire and I laughed.

“You’re silly, Billy,” she said.

“But very creative,” I added.

As we walked toward the exit, Claire told us that her mom was coming to pick her up.

“And she’s bringing Xena too!” Claire said.

We decided to wait in the schoolyard.

In the meantime, two sparrows flew over and perched upon a nearby branch.

“Is that her?” one said.

“It must be,” replied the other. “That pigeon said she had hair that looked like a bird’s nest.”

“Hush!” said the first. “I think it looks lovely.”

“Excuse me,” the second one chirped. “Are you the girl that can communicate with animals?”

“Uh, yes,” I replied, nervously.

“What’s your name, little lady?” asked the nicer sparrow.

“I’m Krystal Ball.”

Billy turned abruptly. “I know who you are — we’ve been friends forever.”

“Shh, you’re interrupting,” I said to him.

“Wait,” Billy said. “Are you talking to these birds too?”

“Pleased to meet you, Krystal,” said the sparrow. “I’m Janet, and this is Jack.”
