Mello was excited and a bit nervous. It was his first day at a new school. With his backpack filled and a big smile on his face, he walked into class. But something stood out—he was the only Black student there. The other kids glanced at him but quickly returned to their conversations. Mello took a deep breath and sat down. He wasn’t sure if anyone would talk to him, but he knew he wanted to make friends and learn. At recess, Mello saw a group playing tag. He really wanted to join, but wasn’t sure if they’d let him. Gathering courage, he asked, “Can I play too?” The kids exchanged glances. Tristan asked, “Where are you from?” “I’m from another school,” Mello said. “But I love playing tag.” The kids still seemed unsure. Skylar spoke up, “I’ve never had a friend like you before.” Mello smiled. “That’s okay! I’ve never had friends like you either. We can learn from each other.” There was a pause, then Tristan shrugged. “Sure! You’re it!” he said, tapping Mello’s shoulder. Mello laughed and chased them. As they played, Mello realized it didn’t matter that he looked different—what mattered was having fun together. After the game, Skylar told Mello, “You’re fast! I’m glad you joined us.” From that day, Mello and his new friends found how much they had in common. They loved the same games, cartoons, and jokes. But they also learned from each other. Tristan was curious about Mello’s favorite foods, and Mello enjoyed learning about Skylar’s family traditions. Mello realized that being different wasn’t something to fear—it made him special. His friends saw that their differences made their friendship even stronger. In the end, Mello knew one thing for sure: being unique wasn’t just okay—it was beautiful.
