You have to wear GOLD blouses?! No wonder you are so sad!

Mary giggled at Joe's silly Email. She was outside the Head Teachers office for some reason. Apparently, she wanted to offer her a guide after the "incident" that happened yesterday. The Head Teacher gestured her in to her office. She nervously walked in.

"Hello Mary. If you didn't know already, I am Mrs Higgins. I am your Head Teacher," she said in a soft sweet tone.

"Nice to m-meet you... W-what did you w-w-w-w-w.....?" Awkwardly, Mary paused.

"Well, this is Grace, I have chosen her to be your Guardian Angel. Shyly, Grace waved. Mary remembered her as the "Smart One" in literacy.

"MY GUARDIAN ANGEL!? Wow Mary. Now you need special help." Mary thought to herself.

At lunch Mary met Grace's friend, Charlotte. She seemed sweet. Although, she kept on saying non stop "Sorry!" even when nothing happened.

Then at PE, a sporty young girl cartwheeled over to Grace and Mary, who were having a snack break.

"Mmmm.. what delicious strawberries! I feel like I am eating them off a tree in the Wizard of Oz." Grace said dreamily.

"Yeah, my m-mum gives them to m-me because she works at Springdale Farm!" Mary proudly replies.

"Cool! I perform a gymnastic showcase there every year!" the sporty girl said, African braids going wild in her face as she jogged on the spot. "Emma. Nice to meet ya." Finally, Emma stopped jogging and shook hands with Mary. "I live on the same road as you. Wanna walk home together?"

Joey,

I am writing you a letter, a bit old school huh? My mom has confiscated my phone on school days so I can do homework in "full detail". Strange but typical of her. Anyway this is a short letter saying I am OK and I have made some new friends. Some are OK, some are strange. One keeps on saying "sorry"

A bit weird. Skype me on the weekend- I'll be free to chat whenever. Xx
