In the morning, I _____ (wake) up super late.
I _____ (hear) my mom shouting, “Max! The bus is outside!”

I _____ (jump) out of bed, _____ (grab) my backpack, and _____ (run) out the door…
without changing my clothes. Yup! I _____ (go) to school in my blue stars pyjamas.

At first, I _____ (not / notice) anything.
Nobody _____ (say) anything on the bus.
But when I _____ (walk) into class, all my classmates _____ (look) at me and _____ (burst) out laughing.

Then Jenny _____ (point) and _____ (say), “Nice outfit, Max! Ready for a nap?”
I _____ (turn) red. My teacher _____ (smile) and _____ (say), “At least you’re comfortable!”

In gym class, I _____ (slip) because I _____ (wear) fuzzy slippers instead of sneakers.
Everyone _____ (laugh), including me.

At lunch, I _____ (call) my mom and _____ (beg) her to bring me real clothes.
She _____ (arrive) with jeans and a T-shirt — and a big smile.
