      When Cindy was seven years old, her parents died 

in a car crash. The police had called Cindy’s aunt, Verra, 

because she was Cindy’s closest relative. Verra had 

said, “Sure, I’ll let the poor, little girl stay with us.” 

Cindy had only met her aunt one time before, and right 

when they met, Cindy didn’t like her Aunt because she 

seemed selfish and mean, and Cindy was right .The only 

reason Verra was letting Cindy stay with her, was 

because Cindy’s parents were fairly rich. All their money 

would have been given to Cindy, but Verra would have 

gotten   the money instead, if she was Cindy’s caretaker. 

       Cindy had to leave her school and all her friends 

when she moved away from her hometown. Cindy had 

no fun living with her aunt. Her cousins teased her any 

second they had. Her cousins were Cindy’s age. The 

one is Gretchen and the other is Brianna. Cindy had to 

listen to them complain, all the time. They always made 

fun of her for having only one friend. Callie was her 

friends’ name. Callie was best friends with Cindy. Callie 

had short brown hair. Callie was really shy and quiet.

At school, Cindy met this really cute boy. His name was 

Kainan. All the girls in school wanted to be noticed by 

him, because he was tall and had dark blonde hair. He 

was smart and everyone thought he was really nice.  

    A dance is held every year for the 6th, 7th and 8th 

graders at Cindy’s school. All the girls wanted to go and 

dance with Kainan. All any of the girls could talk about, 

was wanting to dance with Kainan. Callie talked to Cindy 

about how she was so excited about going to the dance. 

“I wish I could go. My aunt would never let me go, and 

even if she said yes, I don’t have a dress,” Cindy told 

Callie. Callie cried, “But Cindy, you have to go. Everyone 

will be there. You can even borrow one of my sister’s old 

dresses.” 

       A week had passed, and the dance was just an 

hour away. As she had predicted,Verra told Cindy she 

had to stay home and do the dishes and clean around 

the house. Cindy had to get her sisters all prettied up 

because they were too lazy to do it themselves. After 

Gretchen and Brianna had left, and their mother to 

chaperone, Callie came over to give Cindy the dress. 

Cindy loved the dress. It was big, ball gown type dress. 

Callie did Cindy’s make up all pretty and fancy. She 

curled Cindy’s long blond hair. By the end, she looked 

like a different person. 

      Callie had her older brother drive the two friends. 

When they arrive at the dance, Kainan walked over to 

Cindy and Callie. He asked Cindy, not knowing it was 

her, if she wanted to dance with him. Cindy answered, 

“Yes.” answered Cindy was really excited. All the girls 

stared at Kainan and the mysterious girl. Kainan and 

Cindy danced the night away. No one knew it was Cindy, 

because she looked so different.
