by Kindia

A very creative strange girl was born into the world and her name was… Stargirl.

She changes her name to whatever she wants it to be or feels like it, one of her other names was
Mudpie. My teacher read this to us in 6th grade. Stargirl goes to school and what goes on in school is love, emotion, and hatred. But she doesn’t care, she doesn’t care what people think or say about her.
