Emma was really excited for a brand-new school year at Walden Academy. A new school year meant new clothes, new sparkly notebooks, and new classes—like art.

She sat down at a two-person art table just as Shelby and her clique walked by. Shelby was one of the most popular girls in Emma’s class. She and her friends always wore clothes with their names embroidered on them. Emma didn’t have a problem with Shelby, but she did think that her outfits were sometimes a little much.

A tough-looking girl Emma had never seen before followed Shelby’s crew into the room. She was dressed all in black with a lot of chains and carried a beat-up tool bag as a purse.

Shelby spotted the new girl and made a disgusted face to her friends. “New-girl alert,” she said snidely. “Yikes, that outfit is puke-ular! What’s with all the chains? Did you just escape from fashion jail?” Shelby’s friends all laughed.

“What’s with all the makeup?” the new girl countered. “Did you just escape from clown college?”

Shelby continued to glare at her as the new girl plopped down in the seat next to Emma with a mean-looking scowl on her face.

“I like your chains!” Emma said, trying to be friendly. “Totally worth the half-hour backup at the metal detector, I’m sure.” The new girl’s look wasn’t really Emma’s thing either, but she had to admit it was stylish in a grunge sort of way. “I’m Emma.”

“Rosie,” the new girl said by way of intro-duction, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “I wear chains as a symbol of oppressed people everywhere. Plus, my diamond tiara is out for cleaning.”

“I hate it when they don’t give you a loaner,” Emma said sincerely.

Rosie looked at her in complete disbelief, but before she could say anything in response, the art teacher, Ms. Devlin, walked in. Ms. Devlin had a reputation for being a little bitter about her own failed art career.

“I’m Ms. Devlin; welcome to high school art, everyone,” she announced. “I look at all your enthusiastic faces and I think to myself, I hate my life. If only my art career had taken off. That said, let’s have some fun! You have thirty seconds to draw a picture that tells me who you really are. Show me your essence!”

“So, where are you from?” Emma asked Rosie as they started drawing.

“Well, you go to Fifth Avenue, and keep walking north until you realize your purse is missing,” Rosie responded without looking up.

“Luckily, if you’re on Fifth Avenue, you can just buy another one,” Emma said matter-of-factly.

“Sounds like more talking than soul-searching going on over here,” Ms. Devlin said as she walked over to Emma and Rosie’s table. “If I cared enough, you’d both be in trouble. Rosie, let’s see your work.”

“It’s a skull and crossbones over a dollar sign,” Rosie said, holding up her picture. “It represents my wish for the death of capitalism and corporate greed.”

“Bummer. Emma, what does your essence look like?”

“A smiley daisy,” Emma answered.

“Wow,” Rosie said sarcastically. “You are about as deep as a kiddie pool.
