Ripple Effect (2015)
“Their running coach, Miss Marchand, always got right down to business and called a practice after school on the first day. Dana and Janelle had run together since joining the team in grade three. In races, Nelly was always the first Emery runner in, with Dana never far behind. It felt strange to be warming up behind the school without her friend.
Amber and Gina ran up and tossed their water bottles on the grass. Amber adjusted her headband and Gina checked her phone before they started doing st...retches. They had both been on the team last year. They were nice enough girls, but Dana didn’t really consider them close friends. Amber was super-serious and never smiled. All she talked about was running, and it made Dana tired just listening to her. Gina seemed cool, but she always left right after practice.
Neta Pederson quietly slipped into the circle. She’d moved to Emery halfway through grade five, and Dana didn’t know her well yet. Neta was the kind of girl who blended in easily, so easily she almost disappeared.MoreLess
