I Hate the Virus

I hate the virus.
I started first grade on Zoom and this month I will finish first grade on Zoom.
Seeing my friends’ faces is nice, but I want to see them all in person.
I hate masks!
They are itchy, uncomfortable and HOT!!
I wonder what is under people’s masks.
Is it a happy face? A sad one? Or a mad one?
I miss walking to school instead of walking to my computer.
I miss hearing the school bell ring and playing in the playground with my friends at recess.
I’m grateful to be safe and healthy.
I’m grateful to be with my family.
They’re the ones who snuggle me when I’m sad and make me laugh and smile.
I HATE THE VIRUS!
