Hello! Olive was unwell and wasn't in school today, so I was very lonely. It's not that nobody else likes me or that people are mean to me, it's just that Olive was new just after I was. It was easer to make friends with her than it would have been to push my way into someone else's group.
During the whole day I was by myself, the seat next to me empty. At lunch I went outside and sat at the same table I would sit at with Olive, except without her here there was no chatting or laughing.
I sighed and hoped the day wouldn't drag on too long whilst I picked the tomato out of my sandwich.
Then I heard a voice calling out, "Hello over there!", I hoped it was Olive, but I could tell by the voice that it couldn't be.
A girl (that looked familiar from my class) waved and walked over to me, resting her lunchbox on the bench next to me and asking if she could spend lunch with me.
I (of course) said yes and told her that since Olive wasn't around, I could use a buddy to help the school day pass quicker. She grinned and told me that she thought I looked in need of a friend.
We sat and talked, she introduced herself as Otto (short for Ottile). Since I was new she already knew my name, but she asked if she could call me Hedster. I giggled, it was a strange nickname , but I liked it nonetheless.
As she told me more about herself I found out that she was a bookworm and an animal lover, she told me that she had a pet rabbit and even a bearded dragon! Otto asked if I wanted to come over after school and see them, but I told her I was going to check on Olive and see if she was feeling better.
She said that was "No problemo" and told me her address saying that I could come over any time, so I guess I'll be visiting Otto some time soon!
Stay tuned!
