The Kangaroo Club; Chapter 1

It was the first day of another school year at Kangaroo Intermediate. Himilaya walked up the front stairs of the building, and pushed the big doors open. The buzz of the chatter of students filled the air. The smell of pumpkin muffins could be detected from any room or area in the building. Himilaya saw an empty club sign-up booth at the end of the autitorium. She walked up to the person gaurding it. "I am Himilaya, president of the Kangaroo School Club for this school. This booth has been reserved for the sign-ups," Himilaya said to the man. The man pulled a rope next to him and moved out of the way. Then the white sheet covering the booth lifted up. "Surprise!" Himilaya's friends cried. "Unis! Rane! Kaylin! Davielle! This is AMAZING! We'll start sign-ups now!" Himilaya said happily, taking her place behind the booth. Unis, Rane, Kaylin and Davielle had been Himilaya's besties since she moved to Austrailia years before, in fourth grade. Now they were altogether and were holding sign-ups for the most popular school club in the school; the Kangaroo School Club, or the KSC. "We did it so you wouldn't have to do all of it at the last minute," Unis said caringly. Davielle nodded. Unis and Davielle loved to agree. They felt like identical twins, since they agreed on everything and dressed the same a lot of the time. "I can't wait to see how many people sign-up!" Rane squealed excitedly. As it turned out, almost a two-dozen people signed up. "Wow! Almost twenty four people!" Unis cried. Davielle nodded in agreement. "Ok, first meeting of the Kangaroo School Club will he held next week. If you don't come you're out of the club," Kaylin told the people who had signed up. "We'll see you there!" Himilaya called. The next week was going to be a BLAST. She planned to bring friut punch, cookies, a dozen boxes of pepperoni pizza, lots of decorations...
"Next week will be awesome!" Himilaya cried. She hoped she was right.
