Author's Note

My name is Mark Vazquez, I am 13 years old and I live in Brooklyn. I attend Middle School 51. I wanted to write this story, because I felt that it was necessary to teach kids that friendship is important and you need to know who your real friends are, which are the ones that care about you. I also wrote this story to teach you to try not to fit into the crowd. Be yourself, if some people don’t like you because the way you act or the things you like and like to do. I hope that readers understand and learn from this story.
