September 7 : At School
“Hey
y’all!” I said. It was the first day of Fifth Grade. The hallway was filled with an excited buzz. All of my “other”
friends were talking about their cool summer vacations.
My mind went to Gina. I sighed. My BFF, (Girl Code for best friends
forever), Gina and I spent our last summer vacation together in Disney World. I unloaded all of my things slowly and looked
up. I was next to Mike and Alyssa, my BF’s, (Girl Code for Best Friends). Well, it was better than nothing.
Lunch
At lunchtime, Alyssa and Mike sat at our usual 4 seat table.
It felt lonely without Gina. I saw a girl sitting alone. “Hey guys” I said.
“What?”
“Can
the new girl sit over here?”
“Sure”
“Whatever”
“Hey new girl! Over here!”
Mike and Alyssa started laughing.
“Shut up!” I said.
“Hi” the new girl said shyly. “I’m
Cassie.”
All through lunch Mike, Alyssa, Cassie and I talked. She wasn’t like Gina. No one is, I thought
angrily.
