Natasha stomped her way through the thick and muddy swamp. Her red rain boots, getting stuck in the sloppy, stinky water as she moved. She thought to herself “I can’t wait till I make it out of here and can take a nice long shower.” She continued to trudge her way through, until, she was finally able to leave the swamp and step on the fresh, green, soft grass that led her out of the strange forest.

Georgia sat on the park bench, sadly looking down at her feet. Her friend Maxine was supposed to meet her there so they could practice their cheerleading moves for try outs tomorrow. Only for Georgia to get a text saying that she wasn’t coming, and had gone to practice with another group of girls instead. “I thought we were friends?” She thought to herself. “Why would she leave me behind.” Her thoughts were interrupted when Maggie, another girl from her class came up to her. “Hi Georgia! What’s wrong?” Georgia looked up at Maggie and explained what had happened between her and Maxine. Maggie shook her head. “That wasn’t very cool of her,” she replied. “How about we practice together instead? I’m trying out tomorrow too and could definitely use some feedback.” Georgia flashed a small smile. “I guess that would be ok.” She replied. She then got off the bench and followed Maggie to the field so they could practice together.

Read the short story. Then, use evidence from the text to identify what some traits of the main character Billy could be.

As Billy walked into the school building, he noticed a crowd forming around his friend Micah’s locker. As he approached, he saw that Micah had something shiny in his hand. As he got closer, he saw Micah had gotten a new and rare Pokémon card from one of the packs he opened. “Wow that’s so cool! Can I hold it?” Billy asked. Micah shook his head. “No way,” he said. “The last time I let you hold onto something of mine you never gave it back. Billy rolled his eyes. “Oh come in that was a long time ago. I’ll give it right back I promise!” Micah thought about it, then sighed. “Ok, but please give it right back.” Billy nodded. “I will! I promise!” Micah handed him the card. Billy looked at it for a few seconds, then, ran away from Micah as fast as he could. He new it was wrong, but he just had to have that card.
