Salowa, Fatna’s friend, smiles at her from across the yard and Fatna runs toward her.
"Want to play tag?" asks Salowa.
"Yeah, but we need more players. Let’s invite Paola."
"No, she’s jumping rope with her friends. I wanted to do it with them, but they told me no because they said I’m no good. Paola is really mean when she’s with her friends."
"It’s not possible! It’s always the same kids who decide everything! I’m sick and tired of it. We need to do something."
But the bell rings and all the kids need to go back to their classes. Fatna has a hard time concentrating in class. Her teacher says to her, "Fatna, what’s wrong with you? You have your head in the clouds today!" But Fatna can’t stop thinking about Salowa and Peter and how they can’t play with the others.
