A New Girl

Hair like corkscrews,
crazy curly and short,
pulled into two plaits,
begging to be let free.

With her eyes wandering about, 
she sprouts a smile on my face,
as she boards the bus,
her bag like a tortoise shell 
on her back.

A new girl has come to school,
a new friend; a new enemy;
possibilities are endless...
