I woke up expecting a normal day.

   No magic, nothing new or out of place.

      My expectations couldn't be any closer to wrong...

       That picture is of me, Emily Johnson. I live on Maple Street, Nebraska. We have hot summers and fairly cold winters. The houses around here aren't very big.  I had a pretty basic life, average amount of money, my own personal bully, a best friend, and a pretty nice neighborhood.

       This morning I open my eyes, craw out of bed, slide into my clothes, and stuff my face with cereal. Just like every other day. I haul on my backpack, say goodbye to mom and set off for school. "Don't forget to sign up for the math club Emily!" She yells. "I won't!" I won't forget, I just won't sign up.

       As expected, Kate is there on my front porch to torment me with insults on our way to school, not that she means to offend me, or that I really care at this point. "Hurry up Slow-poke!" She says.  I sigh, "I'm only slow because you broke my leg." Me and Kate rode our bikes last week and she crashed into me, fracturing my tibia.  She flashes an apologetic look. I smile, "Your so cute!!!" And I pinch her cheeks. "Waaaaa! Em!!!"

      We walk together, talking about who hates school more, and avoiding Andrew's path to school, for the sake of decency. (Andrew is a stupid bully at our school who happens to be my neighbor, he always acts weird around me). "So are you gonna sign up for math club?"  Kate asks. "No... I don't think I would fit in..." "What do you mean! You're the smartest kid in our school and your best subject is math!!! How can you pass up this opportunity!!!" "I just feel like... never mind." Kate looks like she wants to say something but she keps her mouth shut for the rest of the walk.

       Once we get to school, nothing has changed, not that I expect it to.  So I walk into a new day of educational prison. As usual Andrew insults everyone's clothing other than mine, kind of strange isn't it?  He just stays silent when I pass by him. I could've sworn I saw him blushing! I bet the was thinking about Ashley, the prettiest girl in our school, she's not mean yet not particularly nice.  All the boys in school are crazy about her, even some teachers!
