"My name is Jolene Johnson, but you can call me Jo-Jo. I have two new puppies, and you are all invited to see them after school!" Jolene said to the class when it was her turn to 1 herself.
Mrs. Anderson, the teacher, smiled and then introduced another new kid named Dee Rogen. When he spoke, he was quiet and didn't say much. To help Dee fit in, Mrs. Anderson then 2 him with Ben as his "friend" for the day.
At lunch time, Jo-Jo saw that Dee was sitting with Ben and his friends but not talking to anyone. He looked 3 , thought Jo-Jo.
Jo-Jo didn't like anyone to feel alone. She noticed that Dee had a shirt on that said "I Paused My Game to be Here. " Jo-Jo had an idea. She took her lunch near Dee and said, "I like your shirt. What games do you play?"
Dee smiled and said his favorite was Minecraft. Jo-Jo loved that 4 ! They spent the lunch break talking about the best ways to survive （存活）in the game.
On Friday, Jo-Jo said that she was having Minecraft.
Monday at her house after school and everyone in her class was invited. Jo-Jo pulled out a sign-up sheet from her schoolbag. Several students ran up to her at once.
Before school was over, Jo-Jo5 Dee hadn't signed up and asked him about it. "I don't really know anyone, Jo-Jo. " Dee answered. "I wouldn't feel 6 being there. "
Jo-Jo was confused because she thought he would love the idea. It was on her mind all day until she went home from school—where she had another 7 !
The next morning, she said to Dee, "I was thinking that organizing Minecraft. Monday would be a big job. How about you and I be partners? "
Dee started to 8 . "Wow, you really want me to be part of Minecraft Monday! "
"We would be a great team! "
"I think so too, " said Dee excitedly.
