We walked over to the gym and sat down on the risers with the big purple curtain closed in front of us. I sat down beside Ammie who was dressed up like a princess and listened to all of the parents talking outside.

Ammie leaned over and said, “Don’t let those guys bother you.  You look beautiful in your dress.  You really do.”

I shook my head, “Yeah” because I thought so too.

We all sat on the riser along with all the other toys waiting for the curtains to open. And then they did.
