On-Again, Off-Again Friend 
Standing Up for Friends

Grace was excited about the first day of school and seeing her best friend Jade from last year. But when Grace finally saw Jade, she was sitting with a new girl who teased and ignored Grace. Because Jade didn’t stand up for her friend, Grace was sad and felt hurt. Grace’s Nana tells her to make new friends and to always stand up for your friends. And that’s just what Grace does the next day.
