hello everybody it is time to read chapter 8 of new kid but let's do a little review of the last chapter like we always do so this one jordan went out and got some chinese food with his grandpa and they had a nice talk about his new school his friends and his grandpa asked some questions that i think will lead to some changes for the rest of the book he asked why can't general so's chicken and pepper state get along why can't you have both so jordan wanted to test it out and you all talked about what general so's chicken and pepper steak actually meant in this case and seemed to turned out really good so let's see what it's like in chapter eight so let's start chapter eight straight out of south uptown i do know this reference it's a reference to the song straight out of compton let's

don't know what a niche is i hope that i don't even know what a niche is i don't even know if i'm saying that right okay have you ever had sweet potato fries sure they're awesome oh okay then like thanks for the yam pie jordan you're welcome hey drew brees sup jorelle you okay i don't know the secret santa stuff is freaking me out look what i got day one cookies shaped like basketballs day two

that stuff well you know that but why would anyone else give me these things andy man i'm so sick of that guy i'm gonna let him know here he is storming towards andy and calling surprise drew i'm your secret santa ashley i hope you like all your presents i worked really hard on them i baked and decor i baked and decorated all the basketball cookies myself i know you like basketball because you have a knicks poster in your locker new york knicks are an nba team for those that don't know i got you a kfc gift certificate because who doesn't love kfc right we should go one day my treat then i got you a chocolate santa cause i love chocolate and this little guy is just so cute it'll be a shame to eat him but i will yeah i guess he is kind of cute thanks ashley see when he was getting all these gifts he thought that whoever his secret santa was was just being like racist and making jokes about him and that's why he thought it was andy because andy is known to be the guy that makes insensitive jokes but it turns out it was ashley just being nice and she had reasonable explanations for all of them no problem enjoy and thanks again for the potato pie jordan sweet potato drew's got a girlfriend man i gotta go buy my wittle chocolate santa oh ho ho ho excuse me drew oh hey murray i got this from my secret santa but i thought you'd like it more happy holidays and it's the book the mean streets of south uptown um thanks hey jordan you want to come over during the break to your house no to my sports locker duh of course to my house then i can beat you in 2k in person oh it's on text me your info and when you come over try not to you know judge okay okay sure i mean friends don't judge and we're friends right you bet we are see you soon hey little dude you were awesome in the george washington musical only five and a half more years left and that is the end of chapter eight so for our question i'm going to do something a little different and do a prediction question for the next chapter so we see chapter nine is called a kwanzaa story and we know they're doing secret santa so we can kind of picture the time frame of when this section of the story is happening what is kwanzaa does anybody know what kwanzaa is and can you base off of the picture the chapter 9 title picture can you guess what kwanzaa is try to make predictions and see if you're right in the next chapter have a good day everybody thanks for watching
