Annie stood at Michael's front door waiting excitedly for him to answer. This party sounded so fun!" Just be yourself," Annie's dad had advised when he'd dropped her off. But who else could she be but herself?
Michael swung the door open, greeting Annie with a welcoming smile. But when she followed him in, she felt embarrassed. She didn't recognize a single kid. And they were all older!
As she sat down, every kid stared at her. Her colourful new dress, she believed, was stupid compared with the other girls' tasteful dresses in soft golden colours. The thought made her ashamed." This is my good friend Annie," Michael announced. "She's the smartest, cleverest person I know! Her brain is filled with a million fantastic things you've never even heard of."
After that introduction of her, Annie felt even worse as all the kids looked at her doubtfully. Could she maybe slide out of her seat when no one was looking and just hid under the table?
Instead, she sat there with a frozen smile on her face, feeling anything but herself.
The kids all started to eat, chatting and joking as they stuffed their mouths. They were barely even looking at her now. Annie didn't know whether to feel relieved or left out. Finally, she filled her plate and started eating.
"Pass me some of those strange bananas," a girl said. "Yeah, the bananas!" somebody across the table shouted. All at once, without any warming from her own mind, Annie's mouth opened and words came out.
"They're not exactly bananas," she blurted. "They' re plantains (大蕉)!" She couldn't help herself." They look like bananas, but they taste tally different. Some people call them the potato of the tropics."
