“Coach,” said Mrs. Thompson. “No ‘only’ or ‘just’ before it. I’m Coach, period.”

Amelia Bedelia thought about asking Coach Period why she kept changing her name, but she decided to nod instead.

Coach Period asked for her name and wrote it down on her clipboard. “Amelia Bedelia,” she said.

“That’s right,” said Amelia Bedelia.

“That’s alphabetical,” said Coach Period, continuing down the line.

“Now,” she said, when she had recorded everyone’s name. “Running is fundamental to fitness. I want to see how fast you kids are. You’re all going to run to that water fountain and back while I time you.”

A shiver ran through Amelia Bedelia. Not the water fountain again! This was a bad omen.

“Okay,” said Coach Period. “The race will begin when I say, ‘On your mark, get set, go!’”

Amelia Bedelia took off.

“Amelia Bedelia! Stop!” yelled the coach. TWEEEEEET! “Come back!”

Amelia Bedelia turned around and trotted back. She could hear snickering. She crouched down again, breathing hard.
