"Here I go."

Emily cautiously walked into the school and looked around. She remembered where to go at Open House, its just that she saw so many kids blocking her view and path.

"Uh, excuse me?"

No one responded to her.

Emily sighed and walked to her classroom, trying to ignore the screams and mumbles and whispers. She approached a room, seeing it having rainbows and glitter all over it.

This must be my room she thought.

The raccoon took a deep breath and walked inside, earning glares among the other students. She heard them saying things like:

"Why is she here?"

"This is November. It's too late for school."

"Why does she have that sucky backpack?"

Emily looked around for a table to sit at, but all were full of kids coloring and chatting with each other. She saw a table that seemed to be friendly enough. It had a blonde haired girl, a leopard girl, and a female meerkat.

Emily smiled and walked up to them, "Hi. My name is Emily?"

The blonde girl stared at her in disgust, "I don't want you to sit next to me. Don't even get near me, you coon." Emily was hurt by those words. She was just trying to make some friends and this is what she gets? "Don't get near my friends. Now leave or I'll tell the teacher on you."

Emily sniffled and sat a table by herself. No one wanting to go near her.

As the day went on, it didn't get any better. When she ate lunch, it tasted like dirt and no one sat near her once again. When it was time for PE, she had to sit out because asthma. The kid called her "Wheezy Girl". But when the bell rang, it was time for recess.

The kids ran out of the school and straight to the playground.

Emily circled the playground, by herself with no one with her. She didn't watch where she was going and tripped over a rock, falling to the ground. Unfortunately, it rained not so long ago and she go really muddy.

She laid there, not wanting to get up.

She had had a horrible day at school and no one bothered to become friends with a sweet raccoon. Emily sniffled, tears threatening to pour out of her eyes. It was then at that moment she heard a voice of an angel.

"Hey, ya need help?"

"N-No thanks." Emily whimpered. She then felt herself being lifted up from the ground and set back on her feet. She glanced up and saw a happy female wolf pup with purple eyes and black fur.

"I saw ya laying there and thought ya needed help, mate." Emily smiled. Someone was finally talking to her. She likes this pup even more because she has an Australlian accent.

"I-I'm Emily.

"'ello Emily. I'm Lilly."

"Wanna be friends, Lilly?"

"Sure mate. And to remember it, I got us these."

She pulled two rings from her pocket, one saying "Friends" the other saying "Forever" Lilly gave the "Friends" ring to her new friend. "Keep it mate. I'll go get the teacher to clean you up."

Emily smiled as she stared at the ring.

We will be Friends Forever

I feel kinda bad about letting Emily getting kinda bullied like that in the first grade, but it was worth it for her at the end. Thanksgiving Break is over (DANGIT!) so I'll be updating a bit slower now. So watcha think of this chapter?
