Lilly’s Discovery

Lilly had never been the center of attention—until she arrived at her grandparents’ village in Kanpur. The dusty roads, the smell of fresh chapatis, and the sound of cows mooing were different from the city streets she knew. As she walked past small brick houses in her bright sneakers, white skirt, and colorful tank top, the village girls whispered and giggled, making her feel out of place.

One morning, Lilly wandered into the rice fields, where tall green plants swayed gently, and birds swooped down to peck at scattered grains. Sitting under a banyan tree, she thought about Patrice, the new girl in her city school, who had worn neon-green boots and a jacket covered in funny patches. The class had laughed, but Patrice simply smiled and sat in the front, proud of who she was.
