Sonya looked around as she scampered out of school, her small butterfly-like wings beating rapidly with nervousness. She trotted over to a bush and darted into its concealment. She head survived the first day of school without uttering a word. But could she brave yet another? See, Sonya Flutter was extremely shy. She rarely spoke. Some people called it a curse. So did Sonya. She hated it. But who can do anything to change that? Sonya sighed. Mustering up all of the courage she could manage, she stepped out of the bush and looked around, hoping fervently she wouldn't be noticed. And then, BAM! A zebra zipped past her, knocking her to the ground. He skidded to a halt and ran back. "Sorry! Are you okay?" He asked loudly.
Sonya recognized him as Zeke, the hyper zebra whom had never shut his mouth all day. "Yeah, I'm fine." She replied in that soft voice of hers. Zeke nodded, smiled slightly, and darted away again.
