In a small, cozy school, a new student joined the class. Her name was Amelia, and she had skin as dark as the night sky. Some of the other students were hesitant to approach her, but one little boy named Ethan couldn't wait to make a new friend.

Ethan walked up to Amelia during recess and introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Ethan! Do you want to play with me?" he asked with a warm smile. Amelia was surprised by Ethan's kind gesture, but she happily accepted his invitation.

The two children played together, laughing and having fun. They discovered that they both loved to draw and play in the sandbox. Ethan even shared his favorite snack with Amelia, and she shared hers with him. By the end of the day, the two had become the best of friends.

As the weeks passed, Ethan and Amelia were inseparable. They did everything together, from reading books to playing on the swings. The other students, who had once been hesitant, now saw how special their friendship was and began to join in their games.

Amelia was no longer the "new girl" - she was just one of the gang. And Ethan was proud to call her his best friend. Their unexpected friendship had blossomed into something truly beautiful.
