📚 Scene 1: A Nervous Start

Bella stood just outside the classroom. Her heart was thumping like a drum.
“I don’t want to do this…” she whispered.

Ms. Rivera had just asked everyone to come up and share something they learned this week. Bella’s palms were sweaty. Her legs felt like jelly.

(She might feel a little more nervous but have time to breathe) 🤥 Say she’s not feeling well
(Avoidance might feel safer now, but it could bring more worry later. <(Tip for parents)
