anyone here except a few aunts and uncles we'd met when we'd spent a couple of
weeks with my grandparents, during school holidays. When I started school, one of my
cousins, Sophie, who was in my class, was very friendly for the first week and I was
happy to have a friend in a strange place. Then, for no reason, she stopped talking to me
and I felt very hurt and lonely for several weeks.
In the end I made some more friends and since I got to know them, I've been fine. Now
Sophie is having a disco party for her birthday next week and she has invited me. I don't
want to go. My brother says he heard someone say she only asked me because her
parents said she had to. But my mum and dad say it would be rude not to accept. Some
