Throughout the day things were looking good for Sara.
Her teacher Miss Lily was sweet and beautiful welcoming her.
“Now class, we have a new student named Sara, everybody make her feel welcome””
“Hi!” A red headed girl in the front row said. Soon another boy said “Hi”. Everyone was shouting greetings. Sara’s cute defensive pout turned into a warm smile.
She took her spot when a blonde girl in a pink dress said “Your outfit is pretty!”
“Thank you” Sara said.
Things had been going great. However on her way to lunch, Sara had just barely tripped on a slippery floor. A boy named Tristan helped her up but the fleeting embarrassment caused her to drop a few inches.
When Sara sat down next to Tristan and several other friends, a large boy named Garrett spoke up.
“Sara, is it just me or are you shorter than you were before?”
Sara grows cold. She notices that she has in fact lost a few inches.
“She is a little shorter” one girl said
“How did that happen?” A boy said
“Is she getting shorter” Tristan asked.
Sara could feel her clothes becoming looser. The young girl panicked and started to run from the lunchroom.
She past the curious and judgmental eyes of students older than her.
“Why why why?!” Sara thought with tears in her eyes. “Things were going so well”
In this terrifying ten minutes Sara had lost a full foot.
