I read a short story from the Pockets Magazine. The title of the short story is Nothing Special. The name of the author is Diana R. Jenkins. The name of the main characters are Lena, Amber, and Beth. Lena is a girl and she is mad all the time because she thinks her life is boring. Beth is a girl and she is Lena’s friend. Beth is happy because she thinks her life is not boring. Amber is Lena’s friend and she tries to help Lena think of good things.
In this story, Lena is a little girl that is very sad. When she would talk to her friends, if they did not agree with her, she got upset. Her friends didn’t want to make her feel bad so they left her alone. One day her friends asked if she wanted to go to a birthday sleep over. She said “Yes.” She was happy until she got to the house. Lena expected to play games at the sleep over. She was very sad because they didn’t play games. Since she was grouchy about the games, they were grouchy and didn’t want to talk to her.
I learned that you should not be sad all the time because that might ruin stuff. Lena should stop being sad because it is making her friends not want to talk to her. I hope she learns to be happy. I hope her friends help her to stop being grouchy.
