The next day, Anna walked into school, dreading what was to come. She had been in trouble with her parents before, but this was different. She had a feeling that the other kids were going to give her a hard time about the fight, and she didn't know if she could handle it.
As she walked down the hallway, she could feel the stares of her classmates on her. Some of them whispered as she passed, and she could hear snippets of their conversations.
But then, suddenly,
Anna felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw one of her classmates, Oliver, standing behind her.
"Hey," he said, looking at her with a concerned expression. "Are you okay?"
I'm fine," she replied, trying to keep up a brave face. "Thanks for asking."
But Oliver didn't seem convinced. "What happened yesterday?" he asked. "I heard about a fight, and people are saying that you were involved."
