Susie Had no Friends.

Susie was 10 years old, not particularly a pretty little girl so she had no friends. She was bullied a little bit. Eventually she started standing up to the girls that bullied her and they kind of quit picking on her.

Susie spent most of her time at home hanging out with her grandma who lived with them. Then her grandma died and left her a collection of dolls. They had an extra room upstairs, kind of like an attic, so she put the dolls in there and that was her doll room. She played up there every day after school and on weekends, then came summer.

She started naming the dolls alphabetically. The first one she named was Agatha, then Beatrice, and the third was Carrie. Those three seemed to pull her to them the most. There were twelve more of them that she didn't have an interest in at that point. There was a small mattress in the room so Susie's parents let her stay up there.

The first night Susie stayed up there, something woke her up. She didn't pay much attention and went back to sleep.

The next morning a couple of the dolls had been in different places than she remembered, but she could be wrong. Maybe her parents came up and moved something around covering her up or something, who knows.
