During recess, Hana tried to play with Peter and Ricky.

But Peter often had new and more outgoing friends than Hana, and he’d promise to find her later, but later was always after school and when it was much too late to play.

Ricky liked to read by himself. He didn’t always want to play with Hana.

Annoyed, and sad, and frustrated, Hana stopped trying to play with the boys. She’d find someone new. It couldn’t be that hard.

She left the classroom at the next recess with a boy named Ben and asked if he wanted to swing with her.

Ben said yes.
