Sixth grader Sara saved her red dress for this special field trip. She could hardly contain her excitement!
The teacher commanded that the students walk in rows of two as they left the school grounds.
Twenty joyful children crossed the street, while an overweight girl trudged alone - with a sad face, dressed in red.

Very sad for Sara ~ unfortunately, it doesn't get much better as we grow older either. Judgments are tough at any age, and so unfair.

ReplyDeleteI feel for that poor little girl. Well written 55. Thank you for your creative share. My 55 is also up.
ReplyDeletePoor kid! Boy did THAT bring back memories. I wasn't a social kid, and I dreaded every time we had to pick teams, form groups, pair off... I'd be terrified and/or mortified in seconds. You captured how it felt, beautifully.
