Everyone liked Bella, and she knew it. It had been her mission since third grade to convince the teachers as well as the students that she was the most extraordinary kid in the entire school. It was working. Bella had the most friends, she was always picked to play on everyone’s team during recess, and she was the smartest student in her grade. As far as she was concerned, she had no competition, except Mary. Mary was the smart, but shy girl who sat beside her during math time. It seemed to Bella that Mrs. White always paired them together because Mrs. White believed that they were equally smart. How could Mrs. White be so naïve? This disillusioned teacher even gave Mary the highest score on their last math test. Bella was going to make sure no one else dared to compare her to Mary or to think they were the same in any way!
At last, Bella had her chance when little miss apprehensive, Mary, refused to show the class how to solve the math problem. Bella jumped right in chanting, “Mary, Mary, she can’t carry.” The class laughed. Bella was winning! No one would dare think Mary was as talented as Bella.
During Recess, Bella noticed Mary getting an earful from the teacher. Bella began to smirk as she kicked the game winning home run. Everyone was cheering her name and she liked the way it sound. Everything was right in Bella’s world because she was the star.
