"Best Friend
Julia and Vanessa have always been best friends for as far back as I can remember. They have been in the same class with the same teacher since kindergarten. They talk together on the phone, and they always play tetherball togerther at recess. They sit on the ramp before school and discuss all the boys, and they always sit together at lunch and share. Julia brings the drinks and sandwiches; Vanessa brings the snacks and fruit. Some days they switch, but they always share. Every Friday, they wear matching shirts, and they always talk about going to Disneyland.
Today they were acting very unusual. Vanessa asked to sit with Cathy and me. Juila went off to play with Brittany and Brianna. It felt a little strange eating with Vanessa and not Julia. No one said anything about it. We just ate our lunch and asked ourselves questions in our heads. Why weren't they eating together? Why weren't they sharing lunch? Maybe we should investigate. Cathy and I decided to talk to Vanessa, and Brittany and Brianna decided to talk to Julia. Guess what we discovered? They Just wanted to hang out with more friends because they had agreed that Would be fun. We all liked the Idea and planned to make a new group a bigger group. It would be a group where we could all hang out, share our stuff, and talk about the boys on the ramp. I am looking forward to it."
