 * Light Shad will do 7 and 8

Key

 * Bold text refers to characters taking some form of action.

Chapter 1
It was March when everything changed.

Francis, Nate, and Teddy are sitting around the TV in Nate's house.

Francis: "Guys, did you see the email from Mrs Godfrey?"

Nate + Teddy: "Nope. Why?"

Francis sighed and muttered something about "So disorganized..." Hey, I only check my email to see if the local "Shop n' Dash" has said that I won the cheez doodle giveaway yesterday.

Francis: "We have been issued stay at home order from school."

Nate: "Wait, so does that mean... WE DON'T HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL?!?! But why?"

Francis: "It is because of the Corona Virus. It has now traveled to America."

Francis whips out his book of facts

Francis: "According to-"

Nate + Teddy: "Not now, Francis..."

It has been a week since this. At first I was excited about there being no school but it's getting boring. This stinks worse than Dad's tuna casserole, which is saying something because that is totally disgusting!

Chapter 2
Today, Dad and I went out to but some supplies for our quarantine. Dad had printed out a copy of a quarantine shopping list from the internet. I know that is not the most reliable source of information but it is the best we got.

Immediately after we walk into the local Shop n' Dash, we encountered a hoard of people with a TON of toilet paper.

Nate: "Hey dad. What is the deal with everyone stocking up on the TP?"

Martin: "Because people are insane. And weren't you the one who bought an entire wheelbarrow of cheez doodles for your art project?"

Nate puts on a guilty face

Nate: "Yeah..."

After that thoroughly degrading moment, we continued to buy things like face masks and hand sanitizer. Remember kids, wash your hands or die.

Anyway, it was a good thing we bought those things because, in a few days, every single store was sold out. We are now moving on to week two of quarantine.

Chapter 3
* Yawn.* It's only been two weeks of quarantine, but it feels like two years. And now, just to make everything worse for us kids, we have to take online school. At least it's an early dismissal schedule. A little less Mrs. Godfrey. Today was the first day.

Nate, Francis, and Teddy are all in a group call.

Nate: "How was online school for you all?"

Francis: "It was great! 50 percent less Mrs. Godfrey!"

Teddy: "Haha, so true."

Nate: "Plus, I can put Mrs. Godfrey on mute if I want to!"

Francis + Teddy: "HAHAHAHAHA!"

Teddy: "Although it does seem like they give us way more assignments than usual."

Nate: "I know right? I have to finish 5 quizzes tonight!"

Francis: "I don't mind the extra work. In fact, I WANT the extra work!"

Nate + Teddy: "Nerd."

Teddy: "We had a zoom call for Science, and at one point, zoom made me the meeting host!"

Nate: "Wait actually?!"

Teddy: "Yeah. And I kicked Mr. Galvin out of the conference!"

Nate: "Lucky."

Teddy: "But he did manage to get back in somehow."

Nate: "Oof. Have you guys gotten masks yet?"

Teddy: "My mom's making mine."

Francis: "I got one with cats all over it!"

Nate: "Seriously? At least the cats on it will help with social distancing."

Teddy: "Lol, yeah. Everybody will definitely stay away from you then!"

I sure miss my friends, but I don't miss Mrs. Godfrey (Hopefully she gets corona.) I'm hoping this quarantine ends soon, but it probably won't be for a while. Maybe we can order takeout for once.

Chapter 4
It’s been 4 weeks in quarantine, and it hasn’t shown any sign of ending soon. A lot of people have started getting dogs. Hey, maybe I can convince dad...

Nate: Hey dad, isn’t quarantine the worst?

Marty: It sure is, son.

Nate: Have you heard about *Ahem* the new fad?

Marty: Which is?

Nate: Well.. If you haven’t noticed, a lot of people are getting dogs.

Marty: *Sigh* here we go again.

Nate: Eh? Eh?

Marty: No, Nate. We cannot get a dog!

Nate: Come on, it’ll cheer us all up! Please dad?

Marty: NO!

Nate: Well a puppy at least?

Marty: NO!

Nate: ok, ok! I get it, I’m leaving.

Well, that didn’t go too well. I’ll try again at christmas. Or if the pandemic doesn't end by july. Whichever comes first!
