Stargirl was always so unpredictable. In the beginning people were wondering wether or not she was real. (She was homeschooled... until high school!) Every day, at lunch, Stargirl would always have her ukulele and sing "Happy Birthday" to the birthday boy or girl in front of the entire school. Another time, she was cheering for the school's basketball team at a game (this rarely happened since we almost never get fans... Oure team's just not that good...). Then, enexpectedly, when the opposing team made a point, she also cheered her head off. Everyone thought she was really weird. Then, when my school's team lost, the whole school blamed it on her. I felt really bad, and before I knew it, I was friends with her. I guess she's just not afraid. And I wonder how she knows whose birthday it is everyday. Oh, and last time I got so curious that I followed her almost all the way to her house. I saw her dropping homemade cards at people's houses. But that's how Stargirl always is. She is very caring, wanting to make people's days. Ever since I became friends with her, though, not only is she getting hated and ignored; I was too!!!! It felt horrible. I really liked her. She taught me thing I never even took one second to think about or realize. On the other hand, I really wanted my friends and schoolmates back. Getting the "silent treatment" from them for one whole school year was definitely not cool. I felt invisible to the world. I knew I had to make a choice. My friend Archie, who was also an archaeologist, said, "Whose affection do you value more, hers or the others?" This was the question that bugged me for days, for weeks, maybe even months.
