“Remember,” said the art teacher, Mr. Ramirez, “our class has volunteered to paint a mural for the school beautification project. We’re looking for a few good ideas, and then we’ll vote on the best

one. Any suggestions?” I thought about the sketchbook in my backpack. When Mr. Ramirez announced the mural project last week, I drew my idea. Every time I went to submit it, though, my stomach tied up in knots. So each day I slipped out of class with everyone else, my sketchbook

tucked away in my backpack. Alana Jackson raised her hand. “Mr. Ramirez,” she said, “I have an idea that I think would represent more than just one person.” She glared at Josh, then turned away.

“Let’s make a rainbow. The colors could represent the diversity of our school.” As Mr. Ramirez wrote “rainbow” on the blackboard, Josh called out, “Way to go, rainbow girl. Did you think of that all

by yourself?” I pulled my sketchbook from my bag. The class was silent. This was my chance to speak up—but I didn’t say anything. I couldn’t. Instead, I buried my head in my arms. After a few minutes, Mr. Ramirez looked over at me. “Marianna, do you have an idea to share?” “Me?” I said. Everyone was looking. The walls were laughing at me. “No, not me. Sorry.” I melted. It was over.

For good. As Mr. Ramirez reviewed our list of ideas, I opened my sketchbook to the mural silhouettes. It didn’t matter now, did it? I took a deep breath and prepared to tear the page out.

“Hey, that’s not too bad,” someone said behind me. It was Josh. When Mr. Ramirez asked if this was my idea for the mural, I felt my thoughts were peeled away by my classmates’ stares. I sat up straight. “Yes, it is,” I said. The class voted, and my idea was chosen for the mural. Afterward, Josh

patted my shoulder. “I can’t believe you were going to let us get stuck with the rainbow,” he said.
