I dedicate this to 14Jessieg because she really wanted me to publish this! I hope you enjoy the future chapters too!

In much contrast to yesterday, today is a horrible day. It's not like other days, where normal girls fuss over their parents grounding them for something, or like normal guys getting heartbroken over the fact that their latest girlfriend dumped them. Now, you're going to say the following:

"What could be worse than that emotional pain and suffering?" like a hormonal teenager.

Well, I suppose that having a gun pointed to your head in front of the whole student body of your high school definitely couldn't top that.

Note the sarcasm.

But back to the point I was about to make. You see, you're in my head right now, hearing everything I'm thinking. And you'll probably see everything I'm going to see, like the tragic backstory of the heroine who'll save the world.

Yeah, no.

One: I may have a dramatic backstory, but I don't over-dramatize it like books I've read before. Really? Your parents died? So did about a good sixth of the human population. You don't have to turn into a killer because of it.

Two: If you really thought that this was some sort of typical story like most of the other books that I've read, where the girl is a complete wuss at first and gets a love interest, then you're wrong. If you didn't think that after the first half of this page, then I personally congratulate you.

Oh, I didn't introduce myself did I? I was too caught up about the bullet that was going to penetrate my skull after this idiot finishes his stupid speech.

My name is Nika Raniero, and I'm about to tell you in the next paragraph about how my days were before the gun goes off.

You see, I'm known as the nerd around school, just because I enjoy video games and dress to suit my comfort level. Then apparently because I'm smarter than them, they call me a nerd; I don't see how it's insulting, because they're basically acknowledging the fact that anybody who's a nerd is smarter than them. Idiots. My days were boring, with nothing to do but keep working on schoolwork, and getting stronger physically so that I could beat up my sad excuse of an adoptive father. Then today, I ended up about to be executed for something that I remembered before I started talking to you about how today was a horrible day.

Now, feel free to count the sentences. It's more than five and less than seven, it makes a paragraph for any smart alack who wants to go back.

Did I make you count?

Good. Those of you who cared about the story and kept reading, give yourself a pat on the back.

Well, it's time to cut this short and go on to the next part of the story, which will start off with how my day was today in italics as a flashback, then go back to this point. And yes, I'm breaking the fourth wall willingly. I may do that at random times in this story, so if you don't like it, leave.

Now go on to the next chapter already.
