This is a question that we cannot really answer for you. We do not know what words you know and what words you do not. What I can do is suggest some words that are in the story but which you might not know. I would suggest that you should pick the ones that would work best for you.
Some possible words would be:
- profusely
- boisterous
- civic
- jovial
- paraphernalia
- preceded
If you are a ninth grader, I would think that all of these would be words that at least some of your classmates would not know.
Are you asking for some new vocabulary words from the story? If so, your teacher probably wants you to find five words you do not know. Since you are in 9th grade, I will take a stab at choosing some words that might be new to you. If this is not what you are asking, please rephrase and ask again.
- Jovial - fun-loving
- Paraphernalia - assorted things, belongings, "stuff"
- Perfunctory - automatic, unthinking
- Disengaged - disconnected, pulled away
- Petulantly - resentfully, sullenly
