With all that out of the way,

let's get into it. This is the story of a young girl named Cassandra.

Like many girls her age, Cassandra loved going outside to play with her friends during school recess breaks.

Hold up, that's not right. We've got the wrong girl. Cassandra's the

girl that hated recess. And not like just a little bit of hate or the kind of hate where your

parents remind you that hate is a strong word and you probably don't actually hate what you say you

hate but instead probably just strongly dislike it. Nope, she straight up hated recess. Like majorly hated it. It didn't matter if it was warm and sunny.

It didn't matter if there was fresh snow on the ground. She simply wanted nothing to do with recess, period.

Teachers were always trying to encourage her to go outside saying that the fresh air would do her good.

Fresh air, are you for real?

It's gross out there.

Smells like worms and cow butt, she would say.

Can I please just stay inside for recess?

I'll do anything.

I'll clean the boards.

I'll sort the books.

I'll sharpen pencils.
