2．It was a first day as a newcomer to Miss Hargrove's seventh grade．Past"newcomer"experiences had been difficult，so I was very anxious to fit in．
It wasn't long before the class nerd （书呆子） was pointed out to me：Mary Lou．Actually she called herself Mary Louise．She had olive skin，dark hair and handsome features．The girl's whispers got louder and louder．Mary Lou made eye contact with no one as she walked by our table，chin held high with iron determination．
After school，the girls invited me to join them in front of the school．I was thrilled to be a member of the club．We waited for what I didn't yet know．
Arms wrapped around her backpack，Mary Lou came．The laugh began from the girls．I joined in．My momentum （ 势头 ） began to pick up as I approached her．Bad remarks fell from my lips．The other girls stepped back and became my cheerleaders．Suddenly I caught the strap （背带 ） of her backpack and then pushed her．The trap broken，Mary Lou fell and I backed off．Everyone was laughing and patting me．
I was not proud．Something inside me hurt．Mary Lou got up，gathered her books．She held her head high as blood ran down from her knee．I watched her limping away down the street．
I turned to leave with my laughing friends and noticed a man standing beside his car．His olive skin，dark hair and handsome features told me this was her father．He remained still and watched the lonely girl walk toward him．Only his eyes looked at me in silence with burning tears that spoke to my shame and burned my heart．
