Luckily Mary said that she had said that because they had hurt five of her

friends, so she did not get in trouble. What really happened was that Mary

was in the bathroom, and she saw Leo crying. He told her that these girls

had accused him of saying that they were stupid and that he cursed. He

said he would never do that again. Some other day Mary saw Adam crying

while he was reading a book in the library because the popular group said

that he was a baby. Marry knew that they were telling the truth; she also

knew that her friends had not said that.

There was also a peculiar event. On the June 21 , Alice said that Mary
st
was too old to have her mom at her side. The truth is that Mary got in

trouble for nothing, because she had kicked them so hard on the stomach

that they had a mark there. The point is that they were saying,» Too bad

that Mary’s parents are so awful to her, and did you look at them! They

are hideous! Even though Mary said that her parents are smart, they look

so dumb!” So Mary hit them on the stomach. She begged the teacher not

to tell her parents, and the teacher didn’t. The teacher punished Mary,

because of nothing! But what Mary wanted to do was to have a happy

future, and to make her parents proud of her.
