BerhanaJ's 5th draft

One day during lunch Halley was eating with Brittney, Sophie, and Kyra when they told her there was

one last thing she had to do if she wanted to hang out with them. They said she had to put a thumbtack on

Brian's chair. Halley immediately protested saying that Brian was a nice kid and that wouldn't be a nice

thing to do. Brittney, Sophie, and Kyra said that if she didn't do it she couldn't hang out with them

anymore. Halley just decided to go along with it. So right before math class started Halley slipped a

thumbtack on Brian's chair. The class was going to do a standing up activity and then take a math quiz.

When it was time to take the quiz Brian yelped and was jumping up and down. Everyone turned to look

at him and the teacher saw the thumbtack on his chair. She demanded to know who put it there and

Halley confessed to doing it. The teacher sent her down to the principles office. Before she made it out the

door Brian said something to her that made her cry. " You know, I actually thought you were a pretty nice

person. People were whispering as soon as she walked out of the door. The principle wanted to know

why she did it and she said because she wanted to continue hanging out with the popular girls. The

principle phoned her parents and they were pretty mad about it. She walked home with her parents and

they grounded her for a week. They told her it was probably not a good idea to keep hanging out with

those girls. Halley thought that was what was probably best as well. The next day Brittney, Sophie, and

Kyra asked her what happened. They didn't seem to care that Halley was in deep trouble which made

Halley really mad. " You know that wasn't a very nice thing to do". They just laughed and said that that

wimp deserved it. They told Halley they've just been using her this whole time to do awful things to

people. Halley knew that and said she didn't want to be friends with people like them. They didn't care.

They'd just find someone else as they've always have. When Halley went home she vowed that never

again will she hang out with people who made her do things that weren't good things.
