AGE 6:

"Mommy!" Bianca cried, begging her not to make her go.

"Sweetie, it's okay," her mother cooed, but the trembling girl wasn't buying it.

"I DON'T WANNA!" She shouted, attracting the attention of all of the parents in the Preschool parking lot.

"INDOOR voice," her mom said, words biting, startling the girl into silence. "I've gone to preschool too," she said, softening. "It's fun. You'll make new friends."

"It's scary!"

"It's not scary."

"IS TOO!" Bianca scrunched up her face as her mom pushed her towards the door. There was a strange older lady who smiled down at her. She looked aside in a huff, spotting a boy her age. He had short hair and freckles. She saw that his eyes were blue. She smiled at him, but he just made a face at her. She gasped and stuck her tongue out at him, blowing a raspberry.

"Bianca!" her mother scolded. She apologized to the boy's mom and stepped between the two children. "She's a little shy," she resumed telling the lady at the desk. "It would be great for her to get out of her shell, maybe make some friends." The lady smiled and nodded, and looked down at the girl with brown curly hair. "What's your name sweetie?" She was quiet; she didn't want to talk to the older woman.

"What's your name sweetie?" The little boy sneered and she glared at him, trying not to giggle when she noticed his impersonation. His mom smacked him lightly on the back of the head. "Mark, be nice. Apologize to the sweet girl."

"I'm sorry," He mumbled, looking at his feet.

"Why don't you two go into the other room and play with the other kids?" The older lady asked. Bianca grew nervous. She didn't want to meet new people. She wanted to play with mommy. Still, she found herself walking towards the door with the boy.

"I'm Bianca," She said. "You're Mark?" He shook his head.

"Fitz."

She ran off the playground and onto the grass. However, after she reached it Fitz tripped her and she sprawled out across the ground.

"HEY!" She yelled and pushed him down. She crawled onto him to hold him down. He turned them over and they tousled on the ground, yelling and yanking each other's hair. However, the adults didn't notice because a kid was crying on the playground from scraping his knee. Tuckered out, she laid down. He turned on his side and picked a dandelion out of the ground and went to hand it to her.

"Truce?" She went to grab it, but he yanked it back and pulled it apart. He laughed when her jaw dropped.

"You're a MEANIE!"
