A long time ago, in the 90s in a Christian private school the new girl arrives and sticks out like a sore thumb. Her hair was ratty and almost to her knees. She had dirt on her hands and face.

First day no one said anything thinking maybe it's just for today and she had a ruff morning. The next day comes and she looks more dirty then the day before. Maybe she plays extra hard outside we thought.

The school we go to is really clickish and an elite private school.

Jocelyn tried and tried to stay out of the radar but being new and dirty she was definitely starting to get noticed.

The next day at lunch she sat alone and she was the topic of everyone's conversation. Saying things like I heard she was homeless. Another girl said she couldn't go to school here if she was homeless.

Gossip Continues maybe she goes here because she was kicked out of her last school. Then Ashley says maybe her dad works here as a janitor how else could she afford it.

I look over and notice she is all alone in the lunch room with no food at all. I start to feel bad for her.r.e

I had an idea.. I was worried what my friends might say but I couldnt stand by and not help her any longer.

Despite what everyone else might say I decided to give her my lunch.. I did this every day.

Every day I gave her my lunch she lit up like this meant the world to her. I started to wonder does she get fed at home?

Then one day out of no where she invited everyone to her birthday party.

This made the gossiping about her start again.

" Chelsey said I heard she lives in the ghetto. Ashely said I'm scared to go to a sleep over at her house." I spoke up and said I have seen the out side of her house its by my parents rental house it can't be to bad. Plus are you to scared of an adventure? (Inside I knew it was in the ghetto but I wanted her to have a great birthday)
