Racism Fairytail

Once upon a time there was a young girl Mic'kyla Livania who lived in Zoar. She loved her home very much, but when she finished school she wanted to go to college. So what she did is she signed up for college and got accepted at UW Easter Island. When she got there she checked in to her dorm then got situated.Then she herd something behind her it was her roommate her name was Brittany Starr, she was a prissy Caucasian girl. Now Mic'kyla was a Native American, born with everlasting culture and does not know what the world of modern dressing and attitude.
Her roommate was disappointed of the roommate she had gotten. Mic'kyla had never experienced racism in her life before, so when Brittany was out in the hall of the dormitory yelling around screaming "I have an Indian girl as a roommate, i need a new roommate". Now Mic'kyla felt a sad feeling within her and then she felt anger she could not understand. so what she did she asked Brittany what she meant by all those things she said out in the hallway. Brittany's response to the question was a blank stare it Mic'kyla's face. Mic'kyla asked her again with a more intense tone.
Brittany finally responded and said she did not like colored people. Mic'kyla was furious by what she had just herd and stormed off. Brittany was scared by the reaction Mic'kyla had. Soon after that Mic'kyla had gone to the dormitory housing office and asked for a room change, because the college was so small there were no rooms left. Mic'kyla was angry but she thought of a brilliant plan to convince that natives and Africans etc. are not any different then her. so when she got to her room she smiled at Brittany with a prankish face. Her roommate looked at her with a curious face and anger.
Mic'kyla went to her bed and started unpacking, and put her medicines and her cultural belongings on her counter. Brittany looked at the stuff Mic'kyla had put down and was curious about what they were. She asked Mic'kyla and Mic'kyla knew that Brittany was going to ask so she turned to her and said" do you want me to show you?". Brittany smiled and said in a kind voice "yes please". Mic'kyla grabbed Brittany's hand and sat her on a cozy pillow and she sat next to her and showed her what they were.
Brittany looked surprised and ecstatic, but then she felt a little friendship feeling in her stomach and realized that Native Americans had a beautiful culture. Mic'kyla continued and soon after told Brittany about African, Asian, and Native American cultures and made Brittany realize that people from different ethnic groups aren't any different then she was.
