    Karate Katie #18 - Nancy Krulik

    002

    Chapter 1

    Hey, George, wait up! Katie Carew called out as she ran toward her pal, George Brennan.

    Like Katie, George was dressed in his red and white Cherrydale Elementary School T-shirt. He also wore a pair of white shorts and sneakers. That was their track team uniform.

    Hurry up, Katie Kazoo, he answered, using the special nickname he had made up for her. We can’t be late for the track meet.

    I’m coming! Katie hurried faster toward George.

    But instead of waiting for her, George began to run. Last one to the field is a rotten egg! he shouted.

    George, wait! Your sneaker’s untie—

    Before Katie could even finish the word, George tripped over his shoelace. He fell face-down into the dirt.

    Nice one, Evan, one of the fifth-graders on the track team, teased as he ran past.

    George blushed as he sat up. He didn’t say anything while he tied his shoelace.

    Just then, Kevin Camilleri, George’s best friend, came walking over.

    Katie had been wondering the same thing. Kevin was on the track team just like she and George were. But instead of his team T-shirt and shorts, Kevin was wearing his white karate uniform. He had a bright yellow belt around his waist.

    You can’t run dressed like that, George said. Coach Debbie’s going to be so angry when she sees you.

    I’m not going to the track meet, Kevin told him.

    "But you have to, Katie interrupted. Everyone on the team is supposed to be there."

    I’m not on the team anymore, Kevin told them. I gave Coach Debbie a note from my mom this morning.

    You quit the team? Katie couldn’t believe her ears.

    Kevin nodded. I had to. My karate class is on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The track meets are on Thursdays. I couldn’t do both. So I picked karate.

    George jumped up. "Well, un-pick it! he exclaimed. You and I are supposed to run in the relay race today."

    Katie looked over at George. His face was all red. He sounded really angry. Not that Katie blamed him. George had really been looking forward to running in the relay race with Kevin.

    But Kevin didn’t seem to care. So what? he asked with a shrug. "You can
