Not a shorty anymore

I[Making new friends]

"C'mon. It's one day, and if you like it-" I smack my older sister Jodie on the arm, "I won't like it. I mean have you seen how short I am??" She rolls her eyes at me, "Stop it. You are not that short." I look at her in shock, "I'm 4 feet! I'm like the average size of a fourth grader."

We see Harper come in, "How do you guys like this one?"

Jodie looks at it for a bit, "It seems too short. Just wear some tights under it or something." Harper groans and walks back into her room, "Speaking of clothing, what are you gonna wear to school?" I knew Jodie would ask me this, "Just what I'm wearing right now." I'm wearing a mcr shirt with ripped jeans.

"Harper! Little little sister needs your help." Harper rushes out immediately, "What is it??" Jodie pulls me to Harper, "I'm taking her to school tomorrow and she's going to wear that." Jodie points to me and Harper looks me up and down, "Hmm, with how you dress... I think I have the perfect outfit for you."

After five minutes she puts me in this, I walk out and Jodie nods, "Maybe less...scary." Harper nods and takes me back into her room.

I walk out and Jodie nods again, "Yes. Just yes. That took..." she looks at her watch, "Fifteen minutes. Let's go." I pick up my bag and we leave.

I have math first. So I find it and sit down, then this kid who is carrying his books in a milk crate walks in. He sits down next to me, "Hi. I'm Jack, Jack Dunkleman." He holds out his hand for me to shake, "Marina." I shake his hand then get back to drawing

He looks at what I'm doing, "Holy crap. That's
Good. How did you-" I put my hand over his mouth, "It's not good. My sister Jodie thinks I'm good so she wants me to draw more." He grabs my hand and puts it down, "Jodie? Oh no. You are tall aren't you?" He stands up, "No. I'm shorter than you for sure Dunkleman." I stand up and he's taller than me, "No way- oh Guess I'm not a shorty anymore."

Jodie comes up behind him, "Nope still a shorty." Jack freaks out and smacks her, "No. Have you seen how short she is?" Jodie ignores him, "This is jack-" I cut her off, "Jack Dunkleman. Yeah we introduced ourselves already."

"I can feel a romance budding." Jack and I look at her in anger, "Shut up!" We both yell at the same time.
