It wasn't that Anna liked everyone.
On the contrary, there were quite a few who made her want to pull tufts of hair from her scalp. The only difference between Anna and everyone else, was that she kept her feelings toward others, no matter how angry they made her, to herself. This meant of course that over the years Anna's reputation for being nice, friendly and trustworthy had won her the role of the peacemaker. She was the go to girl for advice. She never judged, no matter who it was she was talking too, if someone told her something in confidence, she kept it to herself.
And though anyone and everyone could feel comfortable with using Anna as their own personal counsellor, the only person Anna could ever confide in was Roxy. They had been friends since their first year and were a true testament to the 'Opposites Attract Theory'. Where Roxy had a wicked sense of humour, liked large gatherings of people and had what Anna called an 'It is what it is,' attitude, Anna was okay with groups of people, knew how to make conversation without offending anyone accidentally, and was quite okay with curling up in the corner with a book. Anna was fine with people talking to her about their problems, of course it could be pretty tiresome every now and again, but it was what she was good at, and she liked peacemaking.
But, as sixth years looms, Anna starts to question her methods.
Is being friends with everyone all the time a good thing?
Are kindness and justice two separate things?
And is there such a thing as 'Too Nice'.
