I am shy.
There's nothing I can do about it.
There once was this little girl named Emmy. Emmy loved to play with her friends in the sandbox way back in kindergarten. Emmy was friends with everybody and had fun screaming, "I am an airplane," during recess and while playing the lava monster game. Emmy was friends with everybody and everyone liked her. One day Emmy and her friends learned that they would be moving to a different school closer to their homes. Emmy and all of her friends bundled up that fall day to see their new school.
It was August of 2001. Emmy walked into her new school. She saw a lot of familiar faces. But Emmy was terribly scared. Emmy didn't want her mom and sister to leave her. Emmy cried for a few days during class but the weeks after got better. Emmy's best friend, Angel, didn't move to her new school. Emmy would sit quietly at her desk and color, wishing her friend Angel was here. One day when Emmy was playing hockey in the gym, her teacher pulled her aside. She told Emmy that a little girl named Sarah wanted to be her friend. Emmy was overjoyed and excited that she finally had a new friend. Her and Sarah had fun when one day Emmy asked why she wasn't playing with her at recess. Sarah told Emmy that she was in the Scooby Doo Club and Emmy wasn't allowed.
Emmy's heart was broken. From then on Emmy had a heard time talking in front of the class.
In fourth grade Emmy met a great friend. Her name was Rebekah. Rebekah and Emmy had a lot of fun together. They both would go to the clubhouse on top of the hill and play there for hours. Emmy and Rebekah would play Bratz dolls under the big tree in front of the school. Emmy and Rebekah both went to pick up their report cards together and were overjoyed to find out they were both in the same fifth grade class!
Emmy and Rebekah met a new friend in fifth grade. They were now a strong group of three. Darah, Rebekah and Emmy had so much fun from going to taco time for lunch with Darah's mom or picking up dounuts. They loved to play karaoke and make up goofy noised while singing. At the end of fifth grade Emmy got a slip saying what class she was in next year. She was in the opposite one then Darah and Rebekah. Emmy's mom spent a lot of time getting Emmy put into the same class as Darah and Rebekah. Finally she was in the same class as them.
The beginning of sixth grade was great! Emmy would always have fun with her friends and knew they were there for her. But something changed during the middle of the school year. Darah and Rebekah were going away from Emmy and Emmy was seeing less and less of them. Emmy started hanging out with her friend Jenny but Darah and Rebekah were her best friends. One day the class had to make up a commercial for drama. Emmy went up to Darah and Rebekah and asked them if she could be in their group. They said they already had four people so Emmy had to go with someone else. Her friend Jenny was put in the other class so she had to go with someone she didn't even know that great.
All through the summer of seventh Emmy was very lonely. She was never with her friends cause she didn't know if they were her friends anymore. These girls helped Emmy be herself and be very loud during school. Emmy was very heartbroken when she found out she was put in a class that Darah, Rebekah and Jenny weren't in. Her mom couldn't change it this time so all of seventh grade she was with barely any girls.
Emmy had a excellent seventh grade teacher. He made math understandable and was the only teacher that accepted Emmy as a shy girl that really didn't like talking in front of class. Her teacher made sure she was put with all her friends for her last year of elementary school.
The beginning of eight grade was okay. Emmy discovered that guys make better friends than girls and is having a great friendship currently. Emmy had her eighth grade graduation ceremony and everyone was great looking. There was an after grad dance but Emmy really disliked dancing and she didn't want to dance. After they got their certificates was the slide show. Everyone had a nice picture of them being them. Emmy knew her friends had many pics of her being her silly self. Then came Emmy's name along with her picture. It was a picture of Emmy throwing a shot put which she wasn't very good at. None of her friends took that picture so she knew it was one of the people that would make fun of her. The popular people. Emmy would wonder why these people had something against her. Was it cause she was quiet? They would treat Emmy like she was challenged or coudn't do things right. Emmy was a very smart girl and knew a lot of things. All through eighth grade only one popular person was nice to her. That was Jordan. Emmy wished to be friends with him and one day her wish almost came true. Logan one of the guys from their group was hanging out with Jordan. Jordan would play kickball with Emmy's friends at recess but Emmy was too shy to go up and talk to him.
Emmy sees her friends regularly and loves to go get ice cream with them. Next year Emmy is going to a whole new experience, high school. Emmy is hoping to become a little louder and someday become her biggest wish, an actor. Emmy has kept in touch with Jordan through texting and is hoping to become friends next year. Emmy would love to be an actress that would support shy kids all over the world. Most likey Emmy would not be an actress and be a teacher that would love to have a class full of kids that dislike talking in fronth of great big groups. But Emmy is going to try to be an actress after talking to someone and they said to just, "Go for it!"
I myself know what all Emmy has gone through cause I am Emmy. I am strong and can't wait to face those people that have bossed me around!
