"Emily." I heard the teacher say, "Please read the next paragraph."

The whole class laughed.

"She is going to read, that involves talking." One girl said.

"Be nice." The teacher told her.

I began to read the paragraph. I hated reading out loud or doing anything that involved people looking at me. My best friend was in my class and she knew what I was going through.

"Wow, see it was not that bad reading out loud." She said as we got our stuff and left.

"Nicole, that was AWFUL !" I told her "You heard how everyone was laughing at me."

"Well they are just rude people, and you do not listen to them..ok?" She asked.

"Alright." I replied.
