The classes soon got started, as they were small kids the intense of teaching and listening to lessons were not that tough. Soon the break time is given, Mia as an excited kid who wants to make friends went to few kids who ever laughing among themselves. “Hello… I’m Mia, can we make friends?” asked with hope and curiosity of making them as her first friends. “Huh! Who were you talking with? Us?” a girl asked Mia. As Mia who is always protected by her parents and sister never encountered such conversation and other persons never talked to her rude till now, was now taken aback by sudden rude reply, but still hoping to make friends answered little bit low than before, “Yesh… will you be Mia’s friend?” asked to the girl.

But soon got shocked by the sudden push that she stumbled back and fallen down. She remained still on the spot where she fallen down, but soon came to senses when everyone started to laugh at her and that girl came to Mia and said, “I don’t want to and talk to ugly girl and make them my friends” shouts on her face. The tears started to brim in her eyes, and started to fall down, as the break time is over, one girl helped Mia to stand up, slowly Mia went and sat on her chair.

She was completely got shocked by what had happened, various thoughts started to run through her mind, ‘Doesn’t papa told everyone can be friends? Then why doesn’t she want to be my friend? Am I ugly? But mama and papa said that Mia is cute and pretty… Does pretty and beautiful are different, as she is beautiful and me pretty, she doesn’t want to make friends? Only beautiful girls become friends, does beautiful and pretty girls cannot be friends?’ as her mind is running like train full of thoughts… the school timings were completed by the last class.

Aurora is eagerly waiting for her little sister, soon Mia came with little sad face, as no one talked to her, after what had happened in break, instead laughing at her, showing to their other friends and telling them about how she fallen down and laughing.

Aurora saw her sad face which was not as same as she left home in the morning, and asked her, “How is the first day in school my pretty Mia baby? Did you made new friends as you said… Did you enjoy?”. Seeing her sister faced excited, Mia hesitated to tell her what had happened. “Yesh… sissy, I had gleat(great) day, Mia also made new friends” replied to her sister with smile. “I know my sister will do great as like me, isn’t kiddo” said happy to Mia, who is smiling at her sister.
