Chapter 4: Jealousy Name: Madison Gender: Male Age: 12 Since it is so beautiful today my friends and I are talking in the center of town. My friends and I always come here to talk and buy things when it is nice outside. Since Briar has so many friends they always invite me along because they know that Briar and I are friends. In total there are about six of us: Briar, William, George, Gilbert, Roselie, and me. All of them are very kind so I am happy that I became friends with them. Out of the corner of my eye I see a girl about my age walking towards the bread stand. I ask my friends if they know her and they all shake their heads no. “We should introduce ourselves.” I say. “Why would we do that?” Briar says visibly upset. I didn't want to argue with Briar because that usually ends up with her ignoring me so I just leave it at that. We start talking about our plans for the weekend and Briar reminds me that we are going to go to the beach. I hope it won't rain but since it has been raining often it wouldn't be a surprise, but by how it looks today you would never suspect any chance of rain. Just as we were about to leave I saw the girl buy bread, turn around and decided to introduce myself anyway, but when she looked up I was astonished… it was Evangeline. 9
