Nina and the Quiet New Boy

On Monday morning, a new boy joined Nina's class. His name was Arjun. He had just moved to the town from far away, and he sat at the very back of the room, all by himself.

At break time, the other children ran to the playground. Arjun stayed at his desk, drawing in a small notebook.

"Why doesn't he talk to anyone?" Nina whispered to her friend Lily.

"Maybe he doesn't like us," Lily said with a shrug.
