Before school, Michelle arrived at her locker outside Mrs. Harper’s English class. Just inside the door Aisha and Tasha were standing at the pencil sharpener. Mr. Carver was across the hall helping a student with a math problem. “Tasha,” Aisha said. “Jeremy invited me to go sledding down Robin’s Hill with a bunch of his friends Saturday and said I could invite someone. You want to come?” “I don't know. I hate the cold, and besides, I’m not sure I like sledding. Why don’t you ask Michelle?” Michelle listened as she stood out in the quiet hallway. “Michelle?” Aisha said. “Oh, I don’t know. She and Jeremy don’t get along very well.” Aisha and Tasha began walking back to their seats and out of Michelle’s earshot. Michelle did not walk anywhere right then. Her mind was elsewhere. At lunch Aisha and Tasha sat at a table in the cafeteria. Michelle walked up with her tray and joined them. “So, I hear you’re going sledding,” Michelle said to Aisha.

Tasha's character is mainly revealed through her dialogue and actions. In the passage, Tasha expresses her dislike for the cold and her uncertainty about liking sledding when Aisha invites her to go sledding. This suggests that Tasha may be hesitant or cautious about trying new things or stepping out of her comfort zone. Additionally, when Michelle suggests that Aisha ask her to go sledding, Aisha mentions that Michelle and Jeremy don't get along well. This could imply that Tasha may not be the type of person who easily gets along with others or establishes strong relationships.
