Korero

 "What was it like at the fancy private school Whaea?" asked Antariksh. He had been looking after the library while S was away and had managed to keep all the books off the floor and the emoji cushions on the couch. The spider plants looked a bit sad but that was because Anna had hung them outside instead of inside the library and forgot about them when she was off sick.

S wasn't sure what to say. 

"Come on Whaea did they have slime? Or Roblox? Did they have 'Friday Fun Day?"

"Well, one kid had putty he was trying to sell, they had a big black market in comic books, and another kid actually tried to steal my library books to sell them so he could make a profit. And everyone played video games on their own device in the library at lunchtime"

"What?!"

S couldn't believe it either. "They didn't have Friday Fun Day, instead, they had 'Wacky Wednesday".

"What happened on Wacky Wednesday?"

"Instead of wearing their normal school uniforms, the teachers wore them and the students just wore their pyjamas."

"Huh, what about Pizza, did they have pizza challenge?"

"Oh no, they were too fancy for pizza. I just told them if they bought food into the library, I would eat it. They had a cafe, where they made chocolate brownies every morning tea and there was a hot chocolate machine in the staffroom"

"What about the library monitors, did they have badges?"

"Oh yes they had real badges, with gold enamel pins instead of making them ourselves with cardboard and sellotape"

"Wow" said Antariksh. He was thinking he might go there one day. It would be a dream come true."How come you don't work there anymore?"

S didn't want to say she got fired because she made the library too much fun and the Principal was jealous and tried to take over. Instead she smiled and said 'Because I missed you guys too much" 

"Aw, we missed you too"
