Dove nearly growled at the girl. She was making fun of her. That was it. This stupid girl was making fun of both her Hawaiian speech and now about her intelligence. Dove was speechless at the girl. On the islands, this girl would have been ridiculed for saying such things, but Dove sighed as she remembered that it wasn't the same on the main land. The girl left and the librarian came back with a more useful book about the industrial revolution and checked it out for Dove. Dove gave the woman a small smile, shouldered her bag, and push her way out of the library.

As she walked, she noticed the green-haired girl ahead of her and started to get angry again. Instead of wasting her time with confronting the girl, Dove just closed her eyes and walked leisurely the rest of the way back to the main building. She stepped inside and was greeted by a group of girls. "Hey Dove! How's life going?" Dove made her way over to the group with a smile. "Goin' good. How 're ya hangin'?" Dove was about to add 'bra', but didn't remembering how she had just been reprimanded for saying it. One of the girls, Rachel, spotted the history book in Dove's hands and chuckled. "Girl, that's the first time I've seen you carrying a book in all your years in this town." Dove felt her heart drop to her stomach. Did everyone in this school think that she was an idiot? It wasn't that she was stupid, it was just that she preferred other things rather than working. Dove knew that Rachel was only joking, so she gave her a nice, hearty laugh and began to walk back down the hallway.
