JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN WAS A BIG deal to me. As I strapped on my Dora sneakers (they lit up when you stomped) I felt a rush. This was it. I was finally a big girl.

My mamma and papa smiled at me. They looked so happy.

"You are very bella, Rory." Said my mamma as she buckled my seatbelt.

"Grazie, mamma." I said with a grin. Excitedly I kicked my legs back against my seat. I wasn't tall enough to reach the ground yet.

"You're welcome," Mamma said as she made a left. "Are you excited?"

"Mhm." I said, nodding.

Mamma parked the car, and out I ran. My mamma laughed and walked behind me, smiling and waving to the other parents.

As I got to the class, I saw all the children were on the playground. So, I pressed a kiss to my mamma's cheek and ran off to play. All the girls were sitting down with their dolls but I didn't have a doll. I never had.

So I walked to the boys who appeared to be playing tag. I tapped a blonde haired boy on the shoulder.

"Hi, I'm Rory. Can I play?" I asked, smiling.

"No. Because you're a girl. Girls have cooties." The boy had stated rudely.

I frowned. Just as I was about to walk away the brown haired boy beside him turned around.

"Don't listen to Ethan. You can play with us." He said with a big, toothy grin.

I smiled. "Thank you. I'm Rory."

"I'm Shawn."
