As I sat by the tree, lost in the pages of my book, I noticed the cheerleader captain, Jen, approaching me. She had just finished her practice with the team and was walking off the field, her ponytail bobbing behind her. I looked up, expecting her to ignore me, but instead, she plopped down beside me with a bright smile. \Hey, I'm Jen! I couldn't help but notice you're a bookworm just like me!\ We started chatting about our shared love of reading, and before I knew it, we were laughing and joking like old friends.
