星星女孩Stargirl

像別人一樣融入人群有多重要?How important is it to be like everyone else and fit in

里歐·布勞克就讀亞利桑那州小鎮的邁卡中學,那裡幾乎每一個人都差不多一樣;要一直到里歐升上十一年級,才開始有趣事發生。

那一年,星星女孩卡拉韋初次來到邁中校園。

她通常穿著一件拓荒時代風格的洋裝;手上拿著向日葵花樣的袋子,裡面則裝著她的寵物鼠。

午餐時,星星女孩則會彈起烏克麗麗並高聲歌唱。

她知道什麼時候有人生日,並且會在當天為他們獻唱「生日快樂」。

足球賽開賽前,星星女孩會在賽場上表演舞蹈,炒熱氣氛。

她渾身散發著熱情,因而獲得延攬成為啦啦隊隊員。

她開始變得大受歡迎,同學們都爭相模仿她。

籃球賽季甫開打,邁中校隊一路過關斬將赢得所有比賽。

星星女孩不僅為邁中校隊加油,也為敵隊歡呼。

然而當邁中陷入延長賽時,星星女孩卻仍為敵隊加油。

她基至還安慰一名受傷的敵隊球員。

每個人都對她助長「敵軍」聲勢怒不可抑。

終於在邁中輸掉下一場比賽時,星星女孩成為眾矢之的。
