Kaolin had completed her first firm at Half Hitch elementary. She could now barely remember being so nervous on her first day, the whole term in Mrs Kipper’s class had been wonderful and she’d made friends who she felt sure she’d know forever. And the best of all these friends was Olive.

Kaolin and Olive spent all day in class sat together, they played together at break, ate together at lunch, and even walked home to each other’s houses. Of all the great things that had happened this term, becoming friends with Olive had been the best of them.
