Ms Harter said That wasn’t true because I HAD just thrown leaves I was going to say that but Jenna spoke first She made her eyes real big Ms Harter Jenna said I didn’t do anything Really I was just standing here I opened my mouth but no words came out She didn’t do anything Ha She started it This wasn’t fair So I did the only thing I could I scooped up more leaves and threw them at her head again Now she looked like a tree A big lying tree A Liar Tree Sometimes like I said you just have to throw leaves Ms Harter shook her head Molly go to the
principal’s office she said Now Fine I said but she’s a Liar Tree Jenna stuck out her tongue at me then pulled it back in real fast Ms Harter didn’t see I stomped away I WANTED to go to the principal’s office Principal Martinez knew me pretty well She and my mom had grown up together I was sure she’d be on my side Jenna hadn’t been at my school more than a week But right away she started being mean to me Maybe Principal Martinez could tell me why
