"Mom, What's wrong with Mr. Snider?" Asked a 15 year old Megan who had this question on her mind ever since she first heard about him, "I mean how did he become so mean?"
"Well, dear that's quite a story." Said Megan's mom as she puts her glass of ice tea on the coffee table. And setting on the couch with her daughter
"Please mom"
"Well, he did use to go to the church we go to"
"Really" Megan said
"Mmhm... He used to do everything for the church, but then his wife died about 10 years or so ago... And he never came back since"
Megan went quiet. But soon was brought out of her thoughts when her mother said, "oh, look at the time. You should get ready to go to the Christmas play practice"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Hey Megan" said Sarah as Megan walks through the church doors
"Hey, wow it's cold out there" Megan said as she takes off her coat
"Yeah it is. I think Sister Amy wants to see you, I think it's about the costumes"
"Ok, I'll see you around" said Megan walking past Sarah and the other kids
"Sister Amy? Sarah said you wanted me" said Megan as she reaches a blonde woman, as she just finished talking g to someone else.
"Yeah, come with me"
They walk to the back hallway where the others were finding pieces to their costumes. "Your an angle, right"
"Yeah" Megan replied as Sister Amy went through the costume pile until she pulled out a long white costume with a gold strip going down the sleeves, and a gold headpiece
"Here you go" sister Amy said giving Megan a small smile.
"Thanks" said Megan returning the smile
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After the play practice, Megan and Sarah started walking towards Megan's house. "I can't wait until the play" said Sarah hugging herself, trying to protect herself from the cold air
"Yeah, I can't wait eith-" Megan stopped talking, Sarah held her arm out to stop her from walking any further "shhh... It's Mr. Snider"
Sarah whispered in fear
"So?" Megan said confused
"How about we take the long way" she said pulling Megan the other way, Megan didn't refuse, but felt bad for him, after what her mother said about him and what other kids say about him too, Megan wishes she can do something. That's when she got the idea.
