    An Improbable Friend
    It was the beginning of the school year and Sasha was not happy that Jake was her reading partner.
    School had only been in session for two weeks and Jake had already made fun of her glasses and her blue
    shoes. Sascha told Mrs. Nelson, her fourth grade teacher, about these rude interactions in hopes of switching
    reading partners. Unfortunately, Mrs. Nelson told Sasha that Jake would remain her partner for the realistic
    fiction unit.
    Still feeling upset about having to work with Jake, Sasha avoided eye contact with him when he
    walked into their room after recess. Until, thud! When Sasha heard this loud noise, she looked up to see that
    all of Jake’s books had fallen out of his backpack. Jake’s face turned bright red as he bent down to pick up
    the mess. Sasha rushed over to him. Despite Jake’s rude behavior to her during the first two weeks of school,
    Sasha helped Jake pick up his books and said, “No worries, Jake, isn’t it hard to have to lug all of these books
    around?”
    That afternoon during their reading partnership, Jake thanked Sasha for her kind gesture. He even
    mentioned that the ideas she shared that day helped him to think of literary reflections. Sasha realized she
    was learning a lot from Jake, too. As the realistic fiction unit came to a close, Sasha and Jake both realized
    that they learned a great deal from each other and had even found a new friend.
