...In the previous episode we left on where Marlene started school and was concerned if she would fit in at school and thinking if she will meet the requirements to be friends with the other kids...

......................

...It's been a few days that Marlene has started school.She thinks that her first few days at a school so big were going well.The only thing that was missing was friends or some company from someone or anyone.So throughout the school days Marlene was alone she sat in class alone but obviously someone had to sit next to her but she didn't have the confidence to speak to anyone in her class which made her feel sad.So when there was work needed to be done Marlene did her work quietly without speaking to a single soul because she didn't know if people would stay and listen to her or ignore her and leave with their friends instead.When it was recess time Marlene didn't know what to do during that time because she didn't have anyone to talk to or a group of kids to play and talk with.So instead of trying to talk to people like she originally does she sits on a bench all by herself staring at the black cement or at her shoes the entire recess time.When the bell rang to go back to class Marlene got up and walked back to class and sat in her seat and did work quietly without feeling to talk to any of her peers that were around her talking and laughing with one another.And instead of talking to others she had quietly listened to the conversation that her peers were having she wondered if she will ever have the strength or confidence to make a friend at her school.Then when the bell rang for lunch Marlene had followed the other kids outside for lunch grabbing different foods and fruits to eat on the side.Even during lunch Marlene could hear everyone being loud talking and laughing with their friends like a normal day.On the other hand Marlene was a quiet as a mouse and didn't make a sound when she ate her lunch she wondered while hearing the loud talking from other kids "why do they talk so loud even when eating lunch?".There was a time at lunch Marlene had gotten an orange because she loved oranges only if they were sweet but to Marlene's luck when she was trying to peel the orange some orange juice got into her eye during the process.When this happened the juice from the orange had started to sting Marlene's eye that she had to rub her eye with her wrist to make sure she was okay.After she made sure that she was okay she blinked a few times to make sure that she could still see.After some bad luck had hit Marlene in the face she decided to go with her date and continue eating her lunch quietly....
