We have some friends who seem as if they understand and appreciate you, but really they might not. A girl named Nevaeh was about to find a friend that she thought understood her, but she actually didn't.
When Nevaeh was in kindergarten she didn't have friends. Every time she wanted to make some they would just walk away. That happened until she went to the third grade when a girl named Brooke said hello to her.
Nevaeh, a shy girl, didn’t answer. Since Nevaeh had no friends to talk to, her mouth would close up. After knowing Nevaeh was shy and needed friends, Brooke wouldn't leave Nevaeh s side and always talked to her. Nevaeh started talking more and was less shy. Once Brooke took her to her friends. There were only three girls, Karla, Mariana, and Isela, but Nevaeh was fine with it. At least she had friends.
They got along very well and had a few things in common. When they were finally in middle school, Brooke and Nevaeh became best friends, but as they got older, they changed. When Nevaeh changed the way she looked and acted, Brooke didn't like it. Brooke startled to judge her, and make her wear stuff that she didn’t like. They had arguments about the wav Nevaeh wanted to look, and how Brooke didn't like what she wore.
Nevaeh wasn’t sure if she could really trust Brooke anymore. That was until she met Susan who understood Nevaeh and didn’t judge her by her looks, but had the same interests as Nevaeh. They liked to dress in the same kinds of things and had similar hobbies.
Nevaeh really liked Susan because she never judged her. When they were talking about their interests it was like they had known each other for a long lime.
Nevaeh was still friends with the other girls, and was happy that she finally had someone that understood her and appreciated her.
