The New Girl

Shelby sat at her desk and watched as her classmates came into the room.
She was always the first one in class because then she could study everyone else
as they got to school. She knew who was fighting, who got new shoes, and who
forgot their homework. Shelby kept on top of everything going on at Hayword
Elementary.

But this morning, Shelby saw a new face. A girl walked into the room wearing
a ratty old jacket that was two sizes too big and a worn out winter hat with holes in it.
Shelby raised an eyebrow as she tried to figure out the girl’s story.
“Who’s that?” Nicole asked.
“New girl,” Shelby said. “Total tomboy.”
“How do you know?” Nicole asked.
“Look at her jacket. I bet she bought it in the boys’ department.”

Mr. Ryan walked over to the new girl and led her to the front of the room.
“Quiet down, everyone. There’s someone I’d like you to meet. This is Amber Dresky.
She’s new to Hayword, and I want you all to make her feel welcome.”

Amber stared at her feet instead of looking at the class.
“Amber’s family has traveled a lot, so I’m sure she has many exciting stories to
share,” Mr. Ryan continued.

Amber shifted uncomfortably.
“Maybe you can tell us about some of the places you’ve been once we get to know
each other a little better,” Mr. Ryan said. “You can take your seat now.”
Shelby watched Amber walk back to her seat. “Shelby,” Mr. Ryan said, “since you
are the eyes and ears of Hayword, I thought you could show Amber around.”
Shelby’s eyes widened, but she didn’t want to disappoint Mr. Ryan. “Um, sure.”
“Why don’t you sit by Amber today?”

Shelby grabbed her books and moved to the back of the room. She stared at
Amber’s jacket.
Amber followed Shelby’s stare. “It’s my older brother’s jacket. He’s overseas in the
army. I miss him.”

Shelby’s stomach sank. Amber wasn’t a tomboy, and she didn’t have bad
taste in clothes either. She just missed her brother.
“That must be hard,” Shelby said.
Amber nodded.
“Maybe we could sit together at lunch. You could tell me about your brother and the
places you’ve been.”
“Really?”
“Yeah,” Shelby smiled. “Welcome to Hayword.”
