Building Bridges and Friends
Scene 1: The New School
Narrator: It was Tuesday morning. Bella walked into her new school. She felt nervous. She looked down at her shoes. They were old, dusty, and torn. Leo whispered loudly to his friends.
Leo: Look at those shoes! Are they held together by tape? Did she get them from the trash?
Narrator: Bella’s face turned bright red. She looked down at the floor.
Bella: Just walk to class. Do not look up.
Monica: That is not a very nice way to welcome someone, Leo. You do not even know her name.
Narrator: Monica wanted to say more, but the school bell rang. Everyone ran to class.
Scene 2: Lunchtime
Narrator: At lunch, the cafeteria was very loud. Bella sat all alone at the end of a long table. She ate a small sandwich. Leo sat nearby with his friends.
Leo: Do not sit there! We might catch whatever made her shoes so ugly!
Narrator: The other kids laughed. Bella pulled her feet under the bench. She felt very sad. Then, Monica walked over and stood by Bella's table.
Monica: Can I sit here? I want to make a new friend. I am Monica.
Bella: Oh... yes. But everyone is staring at me.
