Nonetheless, Alma started to sink lower in her chair as the pain of humiliation washed over her, what was she going to do? Just as she began to be consumed by her overwhelming feeling of shame (Alma was prone to giving over to dramatics) she felt a tug on her sleeve - “Are you alright?” enquired a timid voice at her side. Alma looked down at her sleeve, it was the girl sitting at the desk next to her. Alma’s classmate continued “you seem a little… distressed”. “I seem to have, um, misplaced my pencil” Alma explained. At this, the girl began furtively digging in her satchel “no need to worry! I always bring a spare”. Relieved, Alma took the pencil from the girl, “thank you so much… um, sorry I don’t know your name”, “Mary” the girl replied. “Well, thank you, Mary!”. At this moment, Alma vowed to do all she could to make friends with this friendly girl, she had never had a proper friend before.
After school was let out, Alma ran after her new friend Mary. The two girls walked home together, it was quite a long way! It turns out that Mary was just as imaginative as Alma, and as they walked they made up stories together about fairies and princesses and even a talking horse! Alma knew that they would be friends forever, she left her first day of school feeling happier than she had ever felt in her entire life.
