Whitney didn't have many friends because she was a bit shy when she was in the primary school. She never wanted to be popular, but she did want to have someone to share(分享)secrets and laugh with.

When it was time to go to a junior high school in another town, Whitney was quite nervous. She was going to live with someone she didn't know and the school was 100 miles away from home. She didn't know how she was going to make friends there.

However, in the first week, something happened. In her English class, the teacher asked students a question,“What is your goal(目标)for this class？” Most of the students said it was to get a great mark, but Whitney said something different. She said that her goal was to make just one good friend.

Most of the students sat quietly but a girl named Linda came to Whitney and introduced herself. She asked if Whitney would be her friend. Whitney smiled and reached out her hand.

Whitney learned that if she wanted something, she should ask for it.
