In fourth or third grade I had this little rainbow barrette I had found somewhere in my house and I would bring it to school. I never wore it on my head, because I liked looking at it. It was comforting to bring it to school. One day it went missing and I suffered in silence. Some time passed and my classmate Carla was wearing the barrette.
