"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.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tDLhXN8PC
"Could you please repeat that a little louder so the class can hear?" The teacher requested. 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7qNj11Prg
"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. 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvNdG7nph2
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." 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBL47HI3V9
"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.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZLfZhfyGe
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.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcsMTzHJpT
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.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j0nfx9X6F
