This was the fourth time this year that Lin had been the new kid in school. Four moves in seven months, all because her mother's job kept them moving. She had decided back in December that making new friends was a waste of time. She would join no more clubs. She would add no new names to her phone list.
On her first day, the teacher Mrs. Leonard welcomed her to the class and let one of her classmates help her find her way around. This time, it was a girl named Marley, or Carly, or something. Lin had stopped paying attention to kids' names.
Lin knew that she would forget them all, just as the other kids from all those other schools had probably forgotten her. As Mrs. Leonard was giving Lin textbooks, Lin made her decision: at this school， she would be memorable.
The next day, Tuesday, instead of wearing the usual jeans and T-shirt, she wore a Halloween costume. She didn't brush her hair. On Wednesday, she wore an old dress of her mother's, along with a pair of football boots. “At least they'll remember me after we've moved away, ” she thought on Thursday as she put on a skirt, a T-shirt, and a pile of long necklaces her grandmother had given her to play with.
On Friday, Mrs. Leonard called her mother to school. She was a bit worried about what her mom would say when she saw her clothes — a hula skirt (草裙) from a vacation in Hawaii worn on top of a pair of shabby jeans. From inside the principal's office, she heard her mother and Mrs. Leonard talking.
“She'll be so excited,” her mother said to Mrs. Leonard in the hallway. “We've moved so often, but this time, we're here to stay. I've got a new job in town. Finally, she'll be able to fit in.”
