A New Place
Follow Kayla, a brave 7-year-old, as she navigates her way through a new city, Fayetteville, North Carolina, learning the importance of honesty and overcoming her fears.
Kayla's family had just moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina because her mom was in the army. Kayla was nervous about starting at a new school. She was scared she wouldn't make any friends. Her biggest problem was telling her mom she didn't want to go to school. If she didn't tell the truth, her mom would never know how she felt. Kayla knew she had to be honest, but it was hard.
Kayla's mom, noticing Kayla's hesitation, asked her how she felt about the new school. - I don't want to go, Kayla admitted. - What if nobody likes me? It's a big school, and I don't know anyone. Her mom promised they'd visit the school together first. Kayla felt a bit better, but the thought of school still made her stomach flutter.
At school, Kayla met a girl named Emma, who seemed nice. They played together at recess, but when Emma asked Kayla what her favorite color was, Kayla panicked. - It's blue, she blurted, even though it wasn't true. Kayla's real favorite color was green, but she thought Emma might not like her if she knew. Now Kayla was worried that she had started her new friendship with a lie.
The next day, Kayla felt like she couldn't keep pretending. She didn't want to lie to Emma, but she was scared to tell the truth. - I can't do this, she thought to herself. Kayla considered avoiding Emma altogether. But the thought made her sad, because she really liked Emma. She didn't know what to do, and felt like giving up.
That evening, Kayla's mom noticed something was wrong. - Why the long face? she asked. Kayla explained everything, and her mom gave her a comforting hug. - Being honest is always better, even if it's hard, Kayla's mom said. Kayla realized she needed to tell Emma the truth about her favorite color and how she felt.
The next day, Kayla approached Emma with a nervous smile. - I need to tell you something, Kayla said. - My favorite color is actually green. Emma laughed and said, - That's okay, green is cool! Kayla felt a weight lift off her shoulders. She learned that honesty made her feel better and even strengthened her friendship with Emma.
