Janie

Janie Dawson is in the computer room at Redbridge School. She’s doing her math homework. Suddenly, she’s hungry. She looks at her watch. It’s 5.30! Dinner time. She gets up, and puts her things in her bag. She puts on her coat and hat, leaves the computer room, and walks across the school field. It’s November and it’s very cold, freezing. Janie walks fast.

There are some girls playing soccer on the field. It’s Sam Brown and her friends.

Ask a Friend

One of the girls shouts: “Hey, look! It’s Janie Dawson! Working again! What’s wrong, Janie?

Can’t you speak?”

Suddenly all the girls are around Janie, laughing and shouting at her. “Janie! Come on! Come and play with us! You work too much!”

“Come on, computer geek!” says Sam Brown. She always calls Janie a computer geek just because Janie’s good with computers!

Janie | Chapter 1

Sam Brown runs up to Janie. She puts her face right into Janie’s. She takes Janie’s hat from her head and throws it down. Sam Brown laughs in Janie’s face, and then she runs back to the other girls.

Janie picks up her hat and looks at the girls. She really doesn’t want to cry.

She runs home.

Aisha

“Listen, class,” says Mr. Bale. “This is important. I want you to say hello to Aisha. Aisha is here in Ashton with her family from Syria.”

Janie and the other students look at Aisha. She’s at the front of the classroom with Mr. Bale. She’s a short girl, with black curly hair and big brown eyes.

“Welcome, Aisha,” says Mr. Bale. “We’re happy to have you here in our little town.”

“Hello,” say the students.

“Thank you. My English… not very good.”

“Don’t worry,” says Mr. Bale. “Sit down here. Maybe the class can ask you some questions… to get to know you?”

Aisha sits down at the front of the class. She looks nervous and afraid.

“OK, class,” says Mr. Bale. “Ask Aisha some questions.”

“Do you like Canada?” one boy with red hair asks.

“It’s nice,” Aisha says. “But very cold.”

The boy laughs, but Aisha doesn’t smile.

She looks sad.

It’s true, thinks Janie. It is very cold now in Ashton.

Canada is a cold country, and in the winter Ashton is freezing. And Aisha comes from Syria, a hot country.

“Do you like sports?” asks one of the girls.

“No,” says Aisha.

“What’s your favorite subject?” Janie asks.

Aisha doesn’t speak. She doesn’t understand.

“I mean, what do you like – at school?” asks Janie.

“I like… computers.” says Aisha. For the first time, the girl from Syria smiles.

Bullies

The next afternoon, Janie is leaving the computer room. She sees Aisha. She looks afraid. There are some bigger girls and boys around her. It’s Sam Brown again! Sam Brown and her friends are always unkind.

“Why don’t you talk to us?” asks one boy.

“Why can’t you speak English?” asks Sam Brown.

“Why is your family here?” asks another girl.

“Why do you look like that?” asks another.

One of the girls pushes Aisha. Aisha is ready to cry.

“Stop it!” calls Janie. She walks up to Aisha and takes her arm.

“Oh, it’s Dawson!” says one of the girls.

“Janie Dawson!” says another.

“What’s the matter, Dawson?

Is she your friend?”

Sam Brown asks.

One of Sam Brown’s friends starts to hit Janie.

The door of the computer room opens.

“What’s going on here?” Ms. Rose, the computer teacher, walks out of the computer room. She looks at Sam Brown and the others. “You! Go.” The students run away quickly.

Ms. Rose looks at Janie and Aisha. “Are you OK?” she asks.

“I’m OK,” Janie says.

“Yes,” says Aisha.

“I can talk to them tomorrow,” says Ms. Rose. She smiles at them, and walks away.

Bullies | Chapter 3

“I’m sorry,” says Janie. “They’re bullies.”

Aisha looks at Janie. She doesn’t understand.

“Bullies – very bad people,” Janie says.

“But why…?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” says Janie. “They don’t like people who are… different. Ashton is, you know, a small town.”

Aisha smiles, “Yes.” Then she says: “Thank you.

Thank you very much!”

“You’re welcome,” says Janie.

Aisha looks at Janie. She doesn’t understand.

Janie laughs. “That’s what we say in Canada when someone says thank you – we say, ‘you’re welcome.’”

Aisha laughs. “You come to meet my family tomorrow – OK?” “Yes,” says Janie.

“OK. Thank you!”

“You’re welcome!” says Aisha.

And they both laugh.
