[An 11-year old werewolf named Wanda thinks she should hide her face because she thinks she might get hate, get made fun of, and get bullied in the future.]

A werewolf named Willa was dropping Wanda off to her new classroom. "Is this our new student?" A werewolf that was the teacher named Mrs. Wore, Wanda hid behind Willa. "Yes, this is my daughter Wanda. She's a little bit sigh around kids she's never met though." Willa sighed. [A few moments later] Wanda was all shy, getting introduced to her class. "Class, this is Wanda. I want you all to treat her the way you want to be treated, I have to go out for a minute." Mrs. Wore, some of the students began to giggle a little. Wanda had a tan paper bag with on her head, it had two holes cut into it, so Wanda could see through it clearly. Mrs. Wore came back, she did a little glimpse at Wanda. "Wanda, would you like to take your paper bag off of your head?" Mrs. Wore asked nervously and kindly, Wanda shook her head no.

"All right then. Also, do you want to be called Wan for short?" Mrs. Wore questioned to Wanda, a stein in named Frank pointed to another werewolf named Wan. "But Mrs. Wore, we already have a Wan." Frank smirked, pointing. The students in the classroom began to giggle and laugh, Mrs. Wore did an exhale. "I'm fine with Wanda..." Wanda sighed. "We'll stick with Wanda for now then." Mrs. Wore smiled, the bell then ranged for Connections. [10 minutes later] Wanda along with a werewolf named Wayne were carrying a crate full of balls to gym class, but a group of popular kids were sitting on the stairs in their way. "Could you excuse us please?" Wayne asked kindly and shyly, but the popular kids seemed to not listen at all. "He said if you could excuse us." Wanda growled, starting to get angry a little bit.

One of the popular kids that was a stein named Eunice did a grumble. "Gosh new dweeb, you don't have to be so rude." Eunice grumbled, letting Wayne and Wanda pass by. [A few hours later] Wanda was getting on her bike, until the same group of popular kids came along. It was Frank, Eunice, a mummy named Mumette, an invisible person named Crystal, a mummy named Murray, and an invisible person named Griffin, they seemed to be angry on Wanda. "Do you have a problem with us?" Murray asked angrily. "No, why ask?" Wanda questioned, as if Murray was being illogical. "You don't mess with the popular kids, especially as a new kid." Mumette growled, cracking her knuckles. Eunice walked up to Wanda, as she was just confused. "What's under this weird paper bag?" Eunice laughed.

She began to wrestle with Wanda, trying to take the bag off. "GET OFF ME!" Wanda growled. [20 minutes later] Wanda's older sister named Willow noticed Wanda was late than usual. "Why are you late?" Willow asked worried. "Oh, my paper bag blew off." Wanda lied nervously. [A few moments later] Wanda was in the bathroom, she did a sigh and took her paper bag off. Wanda had a black spot around one of her eyes and a red stain on her furry face, she hid her face because she didn't want people to make fun of her because of her looks. [A few hours later] Wanda was about to go to bed, but she went to Willow's room first. "Big sis..." Wanda started. "What is it Wanda?" Willow smiled. "Have you ever been bullied or made fun of because of the way you look?" Wanda whimpered, Willow didn't know what to say.

She put her paw on her little sister's shoulder. "Look Wanda... You look different on the outside, but that doesn't mean you're different in the inside." Willow sighed, hugging Wanda. "Thanks Willow..." Wanda smiled. [The next day] Wanda had her paper bag on her face again at school, Mrs. Wore was doing a lesson. Eunice did a laugh at Wanda, she then twitched her paper bag a little. "Stop wearing that paper bag like a scaredy-cat and a weirdo." Eunice laughed, Wanda did a grumble and turned towards Eunice as Mrs. Wore left the room. "Will you please leave me alone? I'm beautiful and fine the way I am, and you're judging me about it." Wanda sighed, trying to defend herself. "Pfft, fine." Eunice grumbled, crossing her arms. [One hour later] It was lunchtime, Wanda decided to eat her lunch outside.

She would take her bag off a little, so she could eat her food. The popular kids came along with angry faces, they did a hysterical laugh. "Well, well, well? If it isn't the new dweeb with her paper bag sitting all alone on a bench?" Eunice laughed. "Leave me alone!" Wanda growled, trying to defend herself. "Griffin, take her paper bag off and rip it to pieces." Mumette grumbled, Wanda moved back all afraid. "Let's see what's under this dumb paper bag!" Griffin laughed, taking the whole thing off completely. The popular kids did a worried gasp, they then began to feel bad. Wanda was crying, putting her paws all around her face. "She was hiding herself, because of her face..." Crystal whimpered. "Why do you look like this?" Eunice asked worried. "My mom drank alcohol when she was pregnant..." Wanda sighed.

"Guys, I've been hiding myself as well..." Frank whimpered. "What do you mean Frankenstein?" Murray questioned, Frank did a sigh and rolled his sleeve up, there was a large red scar. "I was bullied in the past because of it, so I hid it from people." Frank stated, starting to cry a little. "We're sorry Wanda..." Mumette sighed. "It's fine, all of you have heard your lesson." Wanda smiled. [The next day] Mrs. Wore noticed Wanda didn't have her paper bag on, and Frank had his sleeve up. "Wanda, Frank I-" Mrs. Wore dropped. "We learned that we shouldn't hide what we really are on the outside nor inside." Frank smiled.
