3. 5/12 -5/16 Passage
Vanessa usually got to class before the bell sounded, but today she was running late and barely made it. She and her friends had been talking about a rumor they had heard, and she hadn’t paid attention to the time. A few people had seen a new girl walking around, and everyone wondered whose class she would be in. A lot of stories about the new student had been passed around already, so Vanessa was curious about her. Just then, Mr. Sharpe came into the classroom followed by a girl Vanessa had never seen before. “Okay, everyone,” Mr. Sharpe announced, “I want you all to meet Niki. She’s just moved here, and moving isn’t easy, so let’s all make her welcome.”
