First Day of Middle School

It was the first day of middle school. 

Annabelle had no friends, and terrible thoughts spiraled through her head. 

What if no one likes me? Will I become that old lady with only ten cats as friends? Should I just accept my future and adopt some cats? I wonder when the shelter closes today? 

Suddenly, a girl came up to Annabelle. She said cheerfully, “Hey! I like your hair! My name is Kat. What’s yours?”

Annabelle smiled. Maybe middle school won’t be so bad after all.
