Kaitlyn moved to Lendensberg at the age of 8. "I am new and no one will like me, not even the teachers", Kaitlyn said to herself. She didn't want to move. She had friends in Oak Dale, not in Lendensberg.
The first day of school came. Kaitlyn was not thrilled. Kaitlyn's new teacher's name was Mrs. Kline. Mrs. Kline was so friendly and loved Kaitlyn immediately. "Kaitlyn, how are you today", asked Mrs. Kline. "Fine", answered Kaitlyn. There was also this one girl named Camille that opened up to Kaitlyn. They became best friends.
The first day Kaitlyn was at the new school she started writing a story about her life. Everyday when Kaitlyn finished her work she would write.
Mrs. Kline saw her love of writing, but she didn't say anything until she was sure. Kaitlyn continued to write during class. As the year went by they took a writing benchmark and normally a kid scores about a average 7 or 8, but not Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn scored a level 10. Now Mrs. Kline was sure.
One day Mrs. Kline had a talk with Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn thought she was in trouble. " Kaitlyn I have been watching you this year and wanted to ask you if you like to write". "I don't like to write, I love to write". "Well I was looking through your journal and I love your ideas". Kaitlyn was overwhelmed with happiness. She loved to write and was glad someone thought she was good.
Kaitlyn was starting to like life in Lendensberg. It wasn't what she thought it would be. She was the new B, but now she felt like she fit in perfectly.
