Chapter 5

Dear Daddy Long Legs:
The school is recruiting freshman basketball team, I want to fight for this opportunity.Yes, I'm skinny, but I have quick reflexes, and when someone jumps in the air, I can go under their feet and snatch the ball.

Practice is fun.Standing on the playground in the afternoon, it is covered with red and yellow leaves, and the air is filled with the smell of fallen leaves. Everyone is shouting and laughing together.They were the happiest girls I've ever met, and I was one of the happiest.

I wanted to write a long letter to tell you about my homework—Mrs. Lippi said you wanted to know—but I just finished my seventh class, and I have to change into my sports clothes and assemble in the open space in 7 minutes.

Do you want me in?

Your forever Jerusha Albert

Sallie Macbeth poked her head in and said, "I'm homesick and I can't take it anymore, what about you?"

I smiled and said: "No!" I think I can survive it.At least I'll never get homesick, never heard of anyone missing an orphanage, have you?
