Chapter 7

“George, stop kicking my seat!” Suzanne exclaimed angrily.

It was Thursday morning. The Cherrydale Elementary School fourth-graders were all seated in the audience of the Cherrydale Arena waiting for the Presidents’ Day show to begin.

The kids were very excited. They could barely sit still. Especially George. He had trouble sitting still even when he wasn’t on a field trip.

“I didn’t kick your seat, Suzanne,” George insisted. “It was Kevin.”

“Blame Someone Else Day isn’t until May,” Suzanne told him. “This is February.”

“We’re supposed to be here celebrating Presidents’ Day,” Katie reminded her friends. “Mr. G. told us he wanted us to behave during the show.”

“Exactly,” Suzanne told George and Kevin. “We’re not the only people at the Cherrydale Arena today. Other people came here to enjoy the show, too.”

“Ms. Sweet made our class promise to behave, too,” Becky Stern said. “Isn’t that right, Jeremy?”

Jeremy just shrugged. Katie had a feeling the last thing he wanted to do was talk to Becky. She had a big crush on Jeremy. But Jeremy did not have a crush on her.

“The show doesn’t start for five more minutes,” George insisted. “We’ll be quiet then.”

Katie nodded and got up from her seat. “Excuse me, Suzanne,” she said as she crawled over her friend’s legs and into the aisle.

“Where are you going?” Suzanne asked her.

“To the bathroom,” Katie whispered. “My mother has been making me drink gallons of orange juice so I don’t get another cold. I’m in the bathroom a lot.”

“Well, hurry back,” Suzanne told her. “The show’s going to start any minute.”

“Yeah, hurry up, Katie Kazoo,” Kevin said. “You don’t want to miss the Parade of Presidents.”

Katie nodded. “I’ll be back in a sec,” she assured her friends.

Unfortunately, there was a line for the bathroom when Katie got there. She just had to stand there and wait . . . and wait . . . and wait. Soon, she could hear music starting inside the theater.

Finally, it was her turn. She went in a stall and shut the door. And then she felt a cool breeze blowing on the back of her neck.

That was strange. There weren’t any windows in the bathroom. And the door was shut tight. Where was that breeze coming from?

Before Katie could take another look around, the cool breeze picked up speed, becoming a cold wind. A wind that was circling just around Katie. Oh no! This wasn’t just any wind. This was the magic wind!
