Chapter 8: Jace I walked into school, knowing that today was going to be a good day. I knew that the bullies were all going on a trip to Hawaii together. I don't know how their parents agreed to that because they aren't even related, but I'm not complaining. When I got to the classroom, I saw that Audie was talking to someone. It was a girl that looked a lot like Audie, but a bit more mature. She had straighter hair, and part of it was dyed magenta. They were laughing about something. I went up to Audie and the other girl and said, "Hi Audie. And hi there, um, what's your name?" The girl her name was Jace. Suddenly, I recognized her. Jace was the smartest kid in our class! She gets 100s on every test, and she's in the gifted and talented program! "Oh hi Jace!" I said. "I've definitely seen you in this classroom before, but you don't really come here a lot." "Yes, you're Isabel, right? Audie was talking about you. She said you have autism and dyslexia. I know that people who have those disorders, or any disorders, can get bullied. So if you ever need someone to help you, just call me, ok?" Jace said. I smiled. "Thanks."
