“I’m hungry,” said Kelly as she and Sheila walked home from school．
“You’re always hungry,” Sheila said, “We’ll have something when we get to my house．”
Kelly looked at Sheila, who was walking quickly down the sidewalk．Sheila had long, beautiful red hair and always wore nice clothes．Kelly had short hair and many of her clothes were hand-me-downs．
No one was home when they got to Sheila’s house．No one ever seemed to be home at Sheila’s house．Kelly had two sisters and a brother．“It must be amazing to have the whole house to yourself．I’m lucky if I can be alone for five minutes,” said Kelly．
“Well, I can do whatever I want．Do you want to order a pizza? There’s nothing in the fridge．”There was never anything in Sheila’s fridge．
“That’s okay,” said Kelly．“I have to go home for dinner soon．”
“But I would go crazy if people were telling me what to do all the time．”
“Well, you’re lucky,” said Kelly．Sheila was lucky．She had perfect hair, perfect clothes, a perfect house．“I would give anything to be Sheila for just one day,” thought Kelly．
The phone rang．“Hi, Mom,” Kelly heard Sheila say．“No, it’s okay．I understand．”She hung up．“My mom’s having dinner out again,” she said．“Are you sure you can’t stay for pizza?”
“Sorry．I have to go or I’ll be late for dinner,” said Kelly．
“Whatever．See you．”
Kelly saw Sheila looking out of the window as she walked down the street．Suddenly, Sheila’s house looked very big, and Sheila looked very small．
