The first day of school was coming up and Millie was very, very scared to start at a new school.

"I am NOT going to school next week,: she said to her mom. "Why not honey?" she said back. "Because everyone is going to make fun of me." Millie ran out of the room and went upstairs to her room.

After a few more days of summer, it was finally the first day of school and Millie was super nervous. She grabbed her school supplies and waited for the bus to arrive with her mom.

"What if they all laugh at me?" Millie sighed. " You will be okay, I promise," her mom replied.

The bus came and Millie jumped on, hiding her face. She sat down in a seat by herself and didn't talk to anyone the whole ride to school.

When she got to her classroom her teacher introduced her to the class. "Let's all say hello to our new student Millie," she said.

No one said anything. They all just stared at her. Millie put her head down and sat in the desk at the back of the room.

For the next couple of days no one talked to Millie and she didn't talk to anyone either. Until one day...
