         "So, Coral." Shimmer said as they walked down the hallway. "What classes did you get?"

         "Let's see." Coral replied. "I got swimming, manners, dance, singing, and lunch."

          "Coral, everyone gets lunch." Shimmer said. "Wait. Is it your first time here?"

             "Um, yes." Coral replied nervously.

             "Then I should warn you about Cherry." Shimmer said.

                "Oh, don't worry." Coral said. "People already told me about her."

                  "Yeah, she's not nice." Shimmer admitted.

            "What did you just say about me?" a white girl with red hair and green eyes asked in anger.

                        "Nothing, Cherry." Shimmer replied.

                          "She said you're not nice." Coral said.

                           "Coral, shh." Shimmer whispered.

                           "How dare you?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm the nicest princess here."

                 "Yeah, right." Shimmer said under her breath. "Is that why you're still in manners class?"

                              "At least I'm not a weirdo, like you guys." Cherry said.

                              "We're not weirdos." Shimmer said.

                                 Cherry scoffed. "Yeah, you are. You guys wear necklaces on your head."

                                    "So what?" Shimmer asked.

                                      "That means you're weirdos." Cherry replied.

              "Look, Cherry." Coral said. "We're not weirdos. We're just different, that's all. Leave us alone."

     "Ugh, whatever." Cherry replied. "I'm leaving now. I have entertained you losers long enough."

                   "Gee, and I thought she'd never leave." Shimmer said. "Thanks by the way, Coral."

                                  "You're welcome. Besides, she had no right to speak to us like that." Coral replied. "So, what classes did you get?"

                                 "Same as you except they gave me gym instead of swimming." Shimmer replied. "Also, instead of manners class. I got silverware placement."

                                     "Did you want swimming?" Coral asked.

                                        "Yes." Shimmer replied.

              "Well, the first day isn't until tomorrow. Maybe you can get it switched?" Coral suggested.

                                            "That's a great idea." Shimmer replied. "I'm gonna go to Headmaster Hagenbrok and ask him to change my gym class to swimming."

                                  "Good luck." Coral said as she watched Shimmer run to the headmaster's office.
