Anna Stone was a 13 year old girl with a dream of becoming a professional soccer player. She lived in a small town in Colorado by the mountains. She played for a very expensive team even though it was hard for her parents to pay for. She was fast and had a big, hard kick that no one could stop. Every game she played she had at least 1 goal until on March 3 she was beat up by a team that she beat by scoring the winning goal. They hit her with bats and broke her legs and many ribs. Anna was rushed to the hospital. The bones in her legs were shattered and she had to go into surgery. She woke up with her parents holding her hand and crying, she looked down and she didn't have any legs.
Anna stared balling,
"Why did this have to happen to me?" She cried.
"I don't know Anna, I'm so sorry!" Her mom said.
For the next 2 weeks she sat in the hospital watching T.V. Playing soccer meant everything to her and now she can't play anymore! When Anna left the hospital and went home she didn't like the feeling of everyone looking at her in the wheel chair with no legs. A week later when she went to school her friends didn't want to be her friends anymore. Everyone would make fun of her and worst of all she couldn't play soccer in gym class or out at recess when everyone would always want to be on her team! Instead on being popular because she was so good at soccer now she has no friends.
Anna came home crying after her first day back.
"Anna whats wrong?" Her mom said.
"I don't have any friends anymore!"
"Yes you do, Megan and Kelly?"
"Not anymore. They don't want a friend with no legs!"
"Anna everything will be alright"
"No mom it won't! No one will talk to me"
After going to school for a week and coming home crying and sad Anna's mom decided to home school her! For the first 2 weeks Anna liked it better but after a couple more days she missed her friends but she didn't think here friends would miss her!
One day Anna was at the table reading when the doorbell rang! She went to answer it and it was her old friends from school.
"What are you guys doing here?" Anna said.
"You have to come back to school Anna!" said her friends.
"Why would I go somewhere were I am not happy and no one wants me?"
"Everyone misses you Anna but mostly we miss you!"
"Why were you so mean to me?"
"Because we didn't know what to do when our best friend lost her legs... what would you do?"
"I wouldn't ignore and make fun of them!"
"We are so sorry Anna and we just want you to come back to school!"
"Are you guys going to be nice to me and talk to me?"
"Of course!!"
"Will you stick up for me when people make fun of me!"
"Always!"
"And will you treat me like I had legs and don't treat me differently then before?"
"We were planning on that!'
"Ok I will come back to school!"
"GREAT!"
Anna's friends hugged her then left. Anna went into the house called her mom and told her everything! Anna and her mom were so excited. Anna's mom called the school and they excepted everything. The next week Anna went to school and it was perfect, to her it felt like she never left because every single person in the school treated her the same way as before... except at recess of course!!!
