<p>Ari J. is in the first grade now and she knew this school year would be perfect. She had perfect clothes. She had a perfect pair of glasses to give her perfect sight. She would be making perfect grades. She had the perfect friends: DJ Rae Dylan and Taj. She even had the perfect teacher Ms. Windsun. </p><p>The only thing that Ari J. <em>thought</em> was not perfect was her kindergarten hair.</p>
