Sally sat.
Sally sat by herself on the bus
Sally sat alone in the lunchroom
Sally sat on a silent swing at recess

As Sally sat, she thought.
Sally sat and thought about her mom and if she were ever coming home, while on the bus
Sally sat and thought about her dad and if he would be drinking that night, while in the lunchroom
Sally sat and thought about her sister and if she would have food to feed her, while at recess

Amy sat.
Amy sat with Sara and Steve on the bus
Amy sat with Ashley and Lauren in the lunchroom
Amy sat with Kara and Casey during recess

As Amy sat she thought.
Amy sat she thought about her mom and what she would be cooking for dinner, while on the bus.
Amy sat she thought about her dad and what games they would play at night, while in the lunchroom.
Amy sat she thought about her sister and what movie they would see after school, while at recess

Sally sat alone
Amy sat with friends
Sally no longer came to school
Amy didn’t notice

I wrote this piece in hope of showing other people to see beyond their line of friends and look at that one kid who is always by themselves.
