Stargirl won the state speech contest. Her speech was unlike anything anyone's ever heard of. She didn't prepare it, but it sounded amazingly beautiful. She wore a big smile on her face-- until the moment she returned to her school. Stargirl expected the whole school to crowd around her, cheering for her. But, no, the opposite was true. The school was barren, except for two teachers and Stargirl's friend, Dori. I felt really bad for Stargirl. This just wasn't what she had been expecting all this time.
