B
It is Linda's first day at her new school. She doesn't like it at all. Everyone is in groups. They eat lunch together. They play on teams.
“At my old school, if you don't want to take a writing test, you can do jumping jacks.” She does three jumping jacks to show Hannah. “That's silly,” Hannah says.
“At my old school, I am better than everyone. I am the best in everything,” Linda says.
“If you are the best in everything, why do you come here?” Hannah asks.
“At my old school,” Linda says. “I don't have any friends.” She turns around so Hannah won't see her tears. She knows Hannah will not notice her too. “I know you don't want to be my friend. Just like at my old school.”
“I have never said I don't want to be your friend. I just don't want you to...” Hannah says.
“
Stretch the truth?” Linda says. Hannah nods. “You should tell the truth.” “Well, I will,” Linda says. “Want to know what we really do at my old school? Every Friday we have a volleyball match. The winner can take the hamster home for the weekend.”
“That sounds fun,” says Hannah. “Let's tell Mrs Andrews about it.” Linda smiles. Here at her new school people may be different.
