Angry Abigail "Abbie" Abernathy

Abigail “Abbie” Abernathy lived with her parents in Alabaster, Alabama, which she called Awfulville. Toward everything, Abbie had a bad attitude, making her unkind and negative toward others. She did not like her parents, her home, or her hometown, and she made friends with nobody, never realizing that her bad attitude was the source of her unhappiness. She was always angry, never attentive to the needs of others, never kind to anyone, and spent her days in a state of arrogance, aloneness, and aloofness.

Every morning on the big yellow school bus, when children greeted her with smiles, she glared and frowned, causing them to drop their heads and, like her, become sad. She even sneered at Elmer, the kindly old bus driver, when he said, “Good morning, Abbie,” making him sad also.
