Fall 2013 (When) at Stocklmeir Elementary (Where) was bright and colorful, if not a little chilly, but the mood of Sammy (Who) and her fellow classmates was not. Despite the weather, which can put people in a good mood, Caroline had started rumors that caused Sammy’s friends to start leaving her (What).
