Do not be afriad, Do not be afriad.

"Um......" I mumble.

The other kids don't hear me well enough, they run off and play.

I stand there and go to the least favored station, reading.

"Okay kids! Activities are over!" The teacher says.

Everyone abandons their toy stations and we all sit on our mats.

Later the bell rings for break and we all go outside for snacks. When the kids who brought snacks go outside I tell my teacher I don't have one again. She smiles and give me some crackers to eat before I go out to play on the playground.

I got to the middle of the playground and see a girl who isn't talking to anyone. I go up to her.

"Um!" I say in as loud of a voice i can muster.

"I want to play too!" I say, tiny fists clenched at my sides.

she blushes and nods. I can't help but smile a big smile. I tell her in a cheerful voice,

"Whats you name? I'm Evoline." She smiiles and mumbles,

"Stephanie"

In half a year, my first friend.
