Seventh grade was only one day old, but suddenly Alice had this new goal: to go the whole year with everyone liking her. She didn't mean to be the "most popular girl" or anything. She just wanted teachers to smile when they said " Alice McKinley" and the other kids to say, " Alice? Yeah. She's okay. She's neat." ALL RIGHTS GO TO Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.
