(I was worried about first attending this school. After all, I'm a dragon. The Red Dragon to be exact. And these humans were everywhere here. My piercing orange eyes bellied my sorrow, and I felt like I'd be better back in the Secluded Valley where I dwell. Just then, I felt something nudge on my wing.) ???: "Get out of my way, you dweeb." (She pushed my wing, on purpose.) Safi'jiiva: "Hey! What's the big deal?! Just because I'm the only dragon here, doesn't mean I'm basically something for you to push on!" (The cracks in-between my scales emitted a blue glow, and my eyes glowed too.) Safi'jiiva: "TELL ME YOUR NAME BEFORE I TURN YOU INTO ASHES!" (The girl still seemed calm, despite my outburst.) ???: "My name is Alice. Now get out of my way." (She pushed me again, and I banged my head on the wall. My eyes and the cracks in-between my scales stopped glowing. I watched on as Alice walked away.) Safi'jiiva: (to myself) "Calling me a dweeb like that...how rude." (As the day went on, I was constantly being bullied by Alice. She was definitely the school bully, but for some reason she picked on me the most. During lunchtime, I approached a girl with a green uniform on - just elastic enough to fit her massive belly. But she was talking to her belly, as if she could feel movements inside it. I started to wonder as to why she and two other students all had different uniforms than the rest of the school - with one girl I met during math class having a red uniform, and another girl from art class having a blue uniform. But the girls in the red and blue uniforms all had much smaller bellies than the girl with the green uniform.)

Safi'jiiva: "Um, excuse me?" (The girl in the green uniform looked up at me, her eyes widening at the sight of a dragon standing before her.) Girl: "Oh, hello! You're new here, aren't you?" Safi'jiiva: "Yes...I was just wondering why you have a different uniform than everyone else?" Girl: "Oh, that's because we're part of the special education program. We all have different needs and abilities, so our uniforms help the teachers and staff identify us." Safi'jiiva: "I see..." Girl: "Is there something else you need help with?" Safi'jiiva: "Oh, it's nothing...just dealing with the school bully." Girl: "Alice? Yeah, she's been causing trouble for a while now. But don't worry, I think she just needs some kindness in her life." Safi'jiiva: (not convinced) "Kindness? I doubt that'll work." Girl: "You never know until you try." (She smiled at me, and I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my chest. Maybe she was right. Maybe Alice just needed someone to show her kindness.) Later that day, as I was walking out of my last class, Alice once again pushed me and made fun of my scales and wings. But instead of getting angry and retaliating, I decided to try something different.) Safi'jiiva: "Alice, are you okay?" (Alice looked at me, surprised at my question.) Alice: "What...what do you mean?" Safi'jiiva: "You seem upset. Is everything okay?" (Alice's tough exterior seemed to fade away, and she hesitated before answering.) Alice: "No...not really. My parents are getting a divorce and I don't know what to do." (Suddenly, I realized that Alice had her own struggles and problems to deal with. Maybe that's why she acted out towards others.) Safi'jiiva: "I'm sorry to hear that. Do you want to talk about it?" (Alice looked at me, unsure of what to say.) Alice: "I don't know..." Safi'jiiva: "It's okay. I'll be here if you ever need someone to talk to." (After that day, Alice and I slowly became friends. I learned not to judge others by their actions alone, and that sometimes, all it takes is a little kindness to change someone's perspective.)
