Jonah would never forget how he managed to overcome his shyness and make new friends all because of the timely advice he had followed a month ago. He remembered that day clearly.
The bell for the break resounded through the corridors at Glendale School. Instead of heading to the canteen like the other children did, Jonah fled to the library. He pushed open the door and headed for the nearest bookshelf. Other than the noise of the air-conditioner, the library was quiet and there was barely a soul in sight. Far in a comer, he spotted the librarian, who seemed too busy shelving some books to pay any attention to him. The windows to the library looked out to the canteen. Jonah could hear children laughing and chatting. He wished he was outside playing with some friends but he did not let this bother him.
Suddenly, Jonah heard a sound in the corner. He turned around and saw the librarian walking towards him. "Hi, I'm Mrs. Lim." she greeted him with a smile.
"Um...hi, I'm Jonah," Jonah said, his face flushed red with embarrassment.
"Why are you reading here when you could be playing with your friends instead?"
"Uh..." Jonah looked around the library, avoiding her gaze. He did not want Mrs Lim to know the real reason he was in the library. She had the same look in her eyes as Jonah's father during the quiet car rides home from school. Jonah was helplessly tight-lipped whenever his father asked whom he had played or eaten with at school. From his silence, Jonah's father knew he was lonely. It was not that Jonah did not have any friends. They all just happened to live really far away. Jonah would stay up late at night chatting on the computer with his old friends from his previous school. Somehow, it made him feel close to them despite the distance. Tasered to this new school, Jonah found it difficult to make new friends. Everyone seemed to have different interests and their own circle of friends.

In the hallway outside the library, a boy from Jonah's class was picking up something on the floor.
