How to Be Friends with Anyone
Swayzee, a spirited seven-year-old with long, curly hair, faces a challenge at her new school. Despite her friendly nature, she struggles to make friends. This story follows Swayzee as she learns valuable lessons about tolerance and acceptance, discovering that being herself is the best way to connect with others.
Swayzee had just moved to a new town, and today was her first day at school. She was excited and nervous to meet new friends. As she entered the classroom, she noticed everyone already talking in groups. Swayzee took a deep breath and wondered how she could join in. Her teacher, Mr. Green, introduced her to the class.
At recess, Swayzee watched the other kids play together. She wanted to join them but wasn't sure how. She felt a little left out and hoped someone would talk to her. " - I wish I knew how to make friends," Swayzee thought to herself. She decided to approach a group playing tag.
Swayzee tried joining the game of tag, but the kids didn't notice her at first. " - Can I play too?" Swayzee asked. One of the kids, Alex, shrugged and said, " - Sure, but you're 'it'!" Swayzee ran after them, but they were too fast. She felt a bit discouraged but didn't give up.
The next day, Swayzee brought her favorite book to school hoping to share it. " - Hey, I love this book!" she said to a girl named Maya. But Maya was more interested in her own group of friends. " - Maybe later," Maya replied, turning back to her friends. Swayzee felt disappointed and sat alone during lunch.
Swayzee noticed a lonely boy sitting by himself during art class. " - Do you want to draw together?" she asked. The boy, named Leo, nodded and smiled. They started drawing and laughing together. Swayzee was happy to have someone to talk to, but Leo was shy and didn't talk much to others.
One day, Swayzee heard some kids talking about a new game. " - What's the game about?" she asked, hoping to join. " - It's a secret club, and you need to know the password," said a girl named Emily. Swayzee felt left out again, not knowing what to do. She sighed and walked away, feeling a bit sad.
Feeling discouraged, Swayzee considered giving up on making friends. She sat under a tree and thought about her day. " - Maybe it's just too hard," she said softly to herself. She worried she'd never fit in. Her heart felt heavy, but she still hoped for a change.
Just then, Mr. Green noticed Swayzee looking sad. " - What's wrong, Swayzee?" he asked kindly. " - I just want to make friends, but it's hard," she admitted. Mr. Green smiled and said, " - Being yourself is the best way. People will see how kind you are." Swayzee thought about his words and felt hopeful.
The next day, Swayzee greeted everyone with a smile. She shared her crayons with the class and helped others with their work. " - Thank you, Swayzee!" said Maya, surprised by her kindness. Soon, more kids joined her, and they all laughed together. Swayzee realized that being friendly was making a difference.
By the end of the week, Swayzee had made many new friends. She learned that being herself was all she needed to do. " - I'm glad I didn't give up," Swayzee told Leo, who nodded in agreement. From then on, she felt happy and accepted. Swayzee knew she could be friends with anyone by just being herself.
