how it started

A Chapter by Kaitlyn Helene

When i was little i used to live in St. Paul, Minnesota. When i was about 5 years old i moved to Canton, Minnesota, where i still live to this day. I started school at Mabel-Canton everyone knew everyone. (except me) I started in kindergarten where i didn't know anybody because i didn't go to pre-school. That's when it started in. People wouldn't include me in anything. I sat by myself during milk break, lunch, and story time. People called me weird and stupid. It hurt really bad considering the fact that i was only 5-6. I would go home crying. We then had a new kid about half-way through the year, her name was Natalie. We became instant friends, soon everyone wanted to be my friend. I didn't quite know whether to accept it or not, so i did. Soon enough it was summer and that flew by fast. It was soon enough my first day of 1st grade. From 1st grade to about halfway through 5th, there was no picking on. But then we had got this new kid named Anna Uhrhammer, she was stepsisters with Hailey and Mallory Marsden. She made fun of me because my hair was long and poofy, well excuse me but i can't help it. I felt so alone at the time because not one person wanted to be my friend because i was to tall and skinny and i had long poofy hair. From the start my mom hated her, because she would try to be something she isn't so i would start to cry myself to sleep. When 6th grade came around she wanted to be my friend along with Debra and couple other people. Of course i said yes, we became really good friends, all of us. Until Anna did something that some people didn't approve of so they stopped hanging around me, and talking to me. For a long while it was Anna and i who would practically walk hand in hand down the halls. so that's just a lil bit of Mabel-Canton
