Lilly Richardson

Lilly stood right outside of The Academy, trying to get up the courage to go inside. She looked up at the top of the doorway and marveled at how big it was. Anyone could fit in there! Maybe even giants...

"Should I go inside?" The small brown teddy bear she was holding shook it's head up and down. And although she was the one controlling it, she heeded its advice. She closed her eyes, scared at the thought that there might be giants inside, and stepped through the door. Once inside, she ignored the anouncment to go up to the meeting room. She just looked at where her room was and ran there as fast as she could. The small six year old then opened her door and stepped inside, being careful to close it. She didn't want to break it by accident. The grown-ups would get real mad at her for that. She hugged Teddy closer to her body and jumped onto the bed, pulling her book bag with her. Taking out her small pink blanket and pulled it over her head, she was convinced that today, she wasn't going to school. Everyone would just think she was really sick. She just hoped that no one would come in and make her... because adults always knew when you where faking sick.
