The School's Cool Girl
"But...but I'm too nervous."
I turned to the side and let out a breath. Sophie is almost up and we really don't have time for this. I turned back to her with a serious look on my face. "Look, Sophie. You're going to be fine, alright? Um.....see those shoes of yours? They are magic. Like Dorothy's shoes that can transport you to another place, but these shoes are also magical. They will help you not to trip and fall. Trust me."
Just when I thought that she would actually buy it, Sophie gave me a long and hard stare. "Sweetie, I am not a kid who can be fooled with a crappy lie like that."
