On the first day of school, a new girl named Hana stood by the door. She held her backpack straps tightly and looked at her shoes.
Marcus remembered his own first day at a new school last year. Nobody had talked to him until lunch, and the morning had felt as long as a year.
He walked over. "Hi, I’m Marcus. Do you want to sit with us? We’re building a castle out of blocks."
Hana smiled for the first time. By lunch, the castle had a moat, a drawbridge and two very proud builders.
