失去朋友,找到朋友

莉亚能找到另一个新朋友吗?

Anna hanging out with new friends at school. Rin is being excluded. This can happen at lunch time or during recess. 4. Rin and Ellie in a sewing class together, wearing the same pair of glasses. 5. Rin praying on her knees. (Head bowed, eyes closed, arms crossed across chest) 6. Rin hugging Ellie on the first day of school, backpacks on. Ellie wearing glasses, Rin wearing no glasses.

莉亚环顾三年级的教室,桌子整整齐齐地排列着,墙上挂着色彩鲜艳的海报,其他大部分的孩子都在和自己的朋友聊天。

莉亚在座位上坐下,这个班上没有一个她认识的人。她希望今年能在学校交到一个新朋友。

「嘿。」

莉亚抬起头来,有个女孩在她旁边坐下。

她说:「我叫安娜,想跟我做朋友吗?」

莉亚笑了。「好啊!」

后来,莉亚和安娜一起吃午餐。下课时,她们玩四格球和跳绳。放学时,安娜隔着校车的窗户向莉亚挥手道别,说:「明天见!」

从那时起,莉亚和安娜成了好朋友,每天都玩在一块。冬天,她们在雪地里走出一条长长的小道,雪结成冰后,她们就顺着小道往下滑。有一次,她们一起合作太空科学专题研究;莉亚和安娜一起做行星海报,真的很有趣。

但是有一天,安娜开始表现得有点奇怪。她早上没有向莉亚挥手,还加入一个新的数学练习小组。午餐时,她几乎不说话。

莉亚问:「嘿,怎么了?」

安娜叹了一口气。「听着,我觉得我们不应该这么常在一起玩。我的朋友奥黛丽说你很奇怪。」

「喔。」莉亚皱起眉头。她和安娜在一起玩得很开心,为什么安娜会那么在意其他孩子的想法?

安娜说,她们仍然可以做朋友,但在那之后,她再也没有和莉亚说过话。莉亚设法让自己不觉得受伤,但是安娜和其他孩子一起玩时,她孤伶伶的很是难过。

很快地,学年结束,暑假开始了。莉亚忙着许多有趣的活动,她去上芭蕾舞班和烹饪课,也和最要好的朋友艾莉一起上缝纫课。

艾莉和莉亚从小就认识,她们上同一所学校,但从未在同一个班级。有时候艾莉会到莉亚家玩。莉亚找到一副假眼镜,戴起来就像是艾莉的眼镜一样,艾莉不禁哈哈大笑。

艾莉说:「真不敢相信夏天快要结束了。我希望我们能多见面。」

莉亚笑了。「我也是。」

很快地,另一个学年就要开始了。莉亚很兴奋要上四年级,但她也有点紧张。她不在意大部分的时间都是自己一个人。但是,一整年在班上没有一个朋友,真的会很漫长。她想起安娜不再和她做朋友时的感受,她并不想感到孤单。

莉亚一直向天父祈求平安。夏天结束时,她感到充满希望,她知道一切都会好起来。

上学的第一天,莉亚走进她的新教室。

「莉亚!」

她简直不敢相信,艾莉在她的班上!

艾莉跑向莉亚,紧紧抱住她。「你在这里我太开心了!这将是最棒的一年!」

莉亚笑得很开心。她知道,即使在困难的时候,天父也一直与她同在。艾莉说得对,今年会是最棒的一年!●
