"Hi, I'm Angela and I my favorite animal is dolphins," I said in a voice practically no one could hear. I was one of the few kids from my elementary school at this middle school, and none of the others were my close friends.855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nd4vFZowA
"Could you please repeat that a little louder so the class can hear?" The teacher requested. 855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjrws6CGLC
"My name is Angela and my favorite animal is the dolphin," I repeated a little louder, staring at my feet. They then moved on to the next person. This was how it was in all my classes the whole day, and at lunch I stood in a corner eating. I almost seemed to blend into the wall, which I was fine with. No one knew I was there. 855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UeHJQC2j2
After school I walked home with one of the few kids I actually knew, Monique Johnston. "So are you trying out for the play this year?" She asked. "I know how much you love to act." 855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDugsnH8XlY
"Of course!" I exclaimed. "And I just know I'll get a lead, I just know it!" This is how it went nearly everyday until the play auditions ended, except I began sitting at Monique's lunch table with her new friends Rachel, Serena, and Kate. A few days after the auditions, there was an announcement saying the cast list was posted. I got the role of Anna! Though it wasn't a lead, it was a really important character.855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7taoVMbe4
Then life continued as usual, but I made some new friends and gained some confidence from this play. Through these friends I truly met a girl in my class who was like me, just more outspoken. We became friends. Now my friendship circle had begun to grow.855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL1daP8EW1
The play ended, seasons passed, the end of the school year approached, then came that fateful field trip to the forest. The teachers had been planning thus for months; a trip to the forest to explore nature. I had been looking forward to this; I'm a nature girl. Then we got on the busses.855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqOF5KabpH
