Hello, friends. And welcome to sleep tight stories.

This is part two of our story about red, the transfer student.

If you listen to the first part, you know that red is going to her new school for the first time.

She has moved to a new place and had to isolate, so she is starting late and not looking forward to her first day of school.

She doesn't like the colors she sees around her and her trip on the bus is awful.

When red arrives at school, she goes to the principal's office and then finally to her new classroom.

Red finds her seat near Charlie and then later needs to get up and introduce herself to the class.

This is when things start to go wrong.

The transfer student, part two.

Do you remember a time when you blurted out a word that you weren't supposed to or a word spoken at an inappropriate time?

How did it feel and how did people react?

Red knew she wasn't supposed to say the word that there was a carefully crafted story about where she was from.

It just came out. She sometimes just couldn't help herself.

But now it was too late and the classroom was full of laughter. She said it.

Still, she couldn't understand why everyone was laughing at her. Literally everyone was laughing.

Even the teacher had a smirk on her face. It's like they didn't believe her, but she always told the truth.

Mars is a place. Well, there is a town in Pennsylvania called Mars at least.
