MEG
“Chuck is dead.”
Either I’m having some major heartburn, or I was more
attached to that rodent than I realized.
“Meg!” Autumn pipes on the other end of my cell phone.
“I’m so sorry. Oh, honey—” My best friend pauses. “Wait,
who is Chuck?”

--- --- --- --- ---
I can’t look away from the dead hamster, lying on his side
in that metal cage. His little eyes are closed. His tiny arms
are stretched out and his bite-sized legs are tucked in. His
brown and white fur look as if I’ve combed it for a little
hamster viewing—I didn’t. Though I would have. And I think
he’s smiling. He’s in hamster heaven, and all is well now.
There’s no spinning wheel to run around on but an entire
field of daisies to tromp through.
Chuck is happy—but my students? My students will be
shattered. And right after I had little Evie Anderson organize
his treats and bedding.
“Meg. Sweetie. You’re killing me here.” Autumn snaps.
“Who is Chuck? I want to be appropriately bereaved for you,
but you’re making it difficult.”
“Chuck,
” I moan out the little guy’s name. She should
know this. I know I’ve told her about him. I took a poll to
decide on his name—the color-coded chart was beautiful, by
the way. “My class pet. My kinders are going to be
devastated.”
“Wait.” Autumn grunts. “That hamster we bought last
year?”
“You mean, that beloved class pet who received his name
by a class vote? Remember that chart I made?” How could
she forget about Chuck? Or the chart?
“Are you bragging about that diagram again?”
“It was color-coded and awesome. Admit that it was
awesome, Autumn!” I spent three hours on that thing.
“Sweetie,
” she says. “I have to go. The Linus’ are headed
out of town, and I’m running the farm all by my lonesome
this weekend.”
“Autumn, I’m in serious crisis. Forget the chart. What do
I do? For my students?”
My friend lets out a groan, but I know she’ll stay on and
help me figure this out. That’s why Autumn is the absolute
best. That and she works on a Christmas tree farm…It’s not
as if her trees are going to up and run away while she
counsels me. “When is your last day of summer school?”
“Well, today. Kiddos just left.”
“Did anyone notice the dead little Chuckie?” she asks.
“Just Chuck,
” I tell her. “Chuck, the very sweet hamster
—who only bit August Pile, and he had it coming.”
“Meg, work with me here. I really have to get back to
work.”
“Fine.” I sigh. “No, no one noticed.”
“You’re still teaching kindergarten, right? You didn’t
move up to first grade? So you will never teach any of those
children ever again. Correct?” She pauses, waiting for my
answer.
