First grade. The teacher thought I was too smart for my own good. She told me to stop learning cursive.

Two months into the year. Nicki and Danielle and I still got along, bonding over ponies.

Three months. Monica joined us.

Five months. We fell into our groove. The art cart, and drawing flowers. I liked school. It was fun.

The year was as typical as it could be.

Summer came. More play group. More of my mom's friend's kids.
