DOL 1

Horribly Hard Middle School did not look much different from their elementary school which was nearby in their town of Tedious, Florida. A big, one-story brick building set nestled among large trees, and a verdant lawn and a small city of white portables dotted the field behind the school like white lily pads in a green pond.

DOL 2

“Look!” shrilled Isabelle Ingenuous in her high voice as she nervously twirled the purple, plastic butterfly that was perched in her wild, curly, auburn hair.  Always upbeat, Isabelle was dressed in her new outfit of purple shorts and bright green top.
