00:00You're standing up for yourself.
00:02There's nothing wrong with that.
00:03You're being brave.
00:04Vanessa just leaned against the wall and picked at her ear.
00:07Her look said it all.
00:08What are you going to do about it?
00:09And she was right.
00:11There was nothing I could do.
00:12Because when Dad arrived, his first reaction wasn't to ask whether I was okay.
00:15It was to shove me aside.
00:17Bullying?
00:17They're kids.
00:18Kids mess around.
00:19Sadie's always been too sensitive.
00:20Don't take her seriously.
00:21Vanessa smiled.
00:22Exactly, Sadie.
00:23What bullying?
00:23I was just joking around.
00:25If you're really upset, I can apologize.
00:27Her smile widened.
00:29I'm sorry.
00:30Dad interrupted before I could say anything.
00:32Why apologize?
00:34He pushed me, stepped in front of me, and patted Vanessa's shoulder.
00:38You're a good kid.
00:39You don't owe anyone an apology.
00:41Then he looked at me.
00:42Sadie, what are you standing there for?
00:44Shake her hand.
00:45She was trying to be your friend.
00:46Why do you have to make everything such a big deal?
00:48If you act like this, no one's going to want to be friends with you.
