Vanessa and Niki had just begun a friendship. Niki was new to the school, and Vanessa had thought she was a snob(势利的人). That was mostly because Niki said little, and besides, that was the rumor(谣言) about her. But then, Niki left her notebook on the playground by accident, and Vanessa picked it up and returned it to her. Then the two girls started to talk, and they got to know each other. Now Vanessa knew that Niki wasn't a snob, but she still didn't understand why Niki wouldn't talk to anyone.
One day, Niki explained herself, “I don’t really know anyone here except you, and I’m kind of shy. I know everybody thinks I’m a snob, but I’m not. I just don’t know what to say to people.” Vanessa had an idea for helping Niki. “If my other friends get to know you,” she told Niki, “they’ll like you, too. So why don’t you sit with my friends and me at lunch tomorrow? Then everybody will see what you’re like.” Niki was very uncertain, but she was tired of everyone thinking she was a snob. So she agreed to have lunch with Vanessa and her friends.
The next day, Vanessa and Niki waited in the dining hall for Vanessa’s other friends. Niki was nervous, but Vanessa said, “Don’t worry. Just be yourself. You’ll be fine.” At last, everyone else arrived.
One of Vanessa’s friends took one look at Niki and asked, “Why are you sitting with the snob, Vanessa? Come on and eat with us.” Niki’s eyes filled with tears.
Vanessa took a breath and then said, “I’m sitting with Niki because she’s my friend and she’s nice. Don’t judge(判断) people before you know them. How about finding out for yourself instead of believing every rumor you hear?” For a moment, everyone looked at each other. Then, very slowly, the other girls sat down at the table. At first, nobody said much, but soon, they started talking. By the time lunch was over, Niki realized that Vanessa was right—all she had to do was to be herself. And what everyone else needed to do was to stop believing rumors.
