I couldn't help but smile at her as I looked sternly at her. Mia is so amazing. She's fearless. No one has ever stood up to Kaitlyn like she just did.

McKenzie hugged her from a side and smiled as Kaitlyn and her friends ran off after Mia confronted them.

"Thank you, Mia. You're the best, you know that?" McKenzie said as Mia turns to her and smiled.

"You don't have to thank me. Honestly, I don't even know why everyone is so afraid of her. She is not even that scary-looking. I've seen worst girls back in my old neighborhood. She's nothing comparing her to those girls."

Kenzie stood there mesmerized by her words. Everyone, including me, thought Kaitlyn was scary and intimidating. How is it that Mia didn't think so? She had to be brave to think this way.

The bell finally rang, and we had to go back to our class, but I liked that I got to be close to her today. Even though Kenzie talked to her, Mia didn't like hanging out with anyone at all, not even us. She always sat alone under a tree, just by herself. She would take out her notepad and draw until the bell rang.

She was really good at drawing too.

She looks at me and purses her lips, then turns to Kenzie and takes her hand. "Well, I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow. And remember, don't be scared to stand up to Kaitlyn. She is just jealous of how pretty and smart you are. See you guys tomorrow, ok?" she says as she turns around, lets go of Kenzie, and sprints away to her class. "Bye, Mia."

I lifted my hand and wanted to say something, but I was left with no words. Kenzie just giggled and grabs my arm, pulling me towards our class.

"Wow, Kenzie, she was amazing. I... I think I am really starting to like Mia. She was super awesome." I babble away as Kenzie pulls me towards class. "Yeah, I know. She's the best. I told you she was amazing. I hope she starts having out with us. Have you seen her notepad? She is so good. I want her to teach me to draw like that. I hope she becomes a good friend with us."

"I hope too. Besides, I think she likes you." Kenzie says making my eyes go wide. That revelation made me superfamily. I hope she's right, because I really like Mia too.

We went back into class. Mr. Omar smiled at us and turned around to erase the board. He started writing our new list of words that we needed to study for this week and quickly asked us to start writing them down on our papers so we could study them at home.

But all I could do as I wrote them down was think of Mia and what McKenzie said. I really hope she's right. I hope Mia likes me. I would love to be her friend and get to hang out with her, even if it's hard for me to talk in front of her.

The school day was finally over. The bell rang, and we placed our things back in our backpacks and lined up to go out and go home.
