Read this passage: Emma and her best friend, Jackie, stand side by side in
graduation robes and caps. As Jackie is called to the stage
to receive her diploma, Emma remembers meeting her
friend for the first time. As if it was yesterday, Emma sees
the leaves dancing across the playground as a little
redheaded girl rushes after a hat. Soon, she is joined by
another little girl with hair so black it's almost blue.
Together they chase the hat until one of them is able to
grab it, and then they both collapse in a heap of giggles.
Shaking her head, Emma watches Jackie hold her diploma
above her black hair as the friends smile widely at each
other.
