Amy didn't want to go to school. Her best friend was sick and she was worried she wouldn't have
anyone to sit by at lunch. She decided to pretend she was sick, so she stayed in bed when her dad called
her to come eat breakfast.

When Amy didn't come down for breakfast, her dad went to her room to make sure she was awake.
When he saw that she was awake but not answering, he started to get angry. Then he saw that Amy
looked sad. Amy told her dad she had a stomachache, so he asked about her symptoms and felt her
forehead to see if she had a fever. Her forehead didn't feel hot.

Amy's dad knew that her best friend wouldn't be in school, so he asked if this was the real reason she
didn't want to go to school. Amy started to cry and said yes. Her dad hugged her and said he
understood how hard it was but that maybe she could try to sit by someone new. He said maybe it
wouldn't be as bad as she thought. Finally, Amy decided to go to school. She found a new friend that
day and was glad that she had listened to her dad.
