Petunia

Petunia was the new girl at Oakwood Elementary, quiet and wearing a colorful headscarf every day. Natalie noticed her sitting alone at lunch, looking down at her untouched food. "Why does she always wear those weird scarves?" Natalie whispered to her friends, not realizing Petunia could hear. Petunia's eyes welled with tears as she quickly gathered her things and hurried away.
