We got to pick our seats in class so I sat near the teacher. I loved learning, especially together, and adults were always fun for me. I knew everybody living in my street!

For some reason nobody else thought it was particularly cool and so they all sat further back, and so I was alone.

So the teacher asked why nobody would sit at the table with me. Well an old friend of mine looked angrily at me and loudly said: Nobody likes Ellie! It really caught me off guard and was painful.

I've learned to always listen to my feelings and those told me that some people just feel like pissing down on others, so they can feel big. Honestly I can't think of anything sadder.
