After nearly a week in 7th grade, no one had talked to her or noticed her in the hallways or classrooms. Teachers didn’t call on her. The gym teacher acted as though she wasn’t even there. A real bummer of a new school year.
Maybe it was just moving into middle school from elementary, Janie thought, and she was simply overreacting, thinking it just seemed that no one saw her. That must be it. Suddenly Janie felt better, a little more confident.
Then she walked through the wall into her English classroom.
