Chapter 1
“How would あなた describe me Lilly?” I asked.
“Paula, you’re a very smart and unique person. But also mysterious. In a good way.” She replied.
“How am I mysterious? I mean, I never thought of myself that way.”
“Because you’re always so quiet around people. Not around me, of course. It’s like あなた shut yourself down completely, like あなた don’t want them to know who あなた are.”
“But あなた know I’m very shy! Besides, I’m not very good at socializing, あなた know? I always make myself sound like a total freak!
“Hey, あなた asked for my opinion!” She answered quickly.
“You’re right. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have reacted that way.”
Ring ring!
“Hello? Oh, hi mom.” Lilly answered her cell phone.
She was an 8th grader with medium short hair and pale skin, and also very 人気 at school. I knew her since she was in kinder. Since then, we were inseparable. She was my only real friend. I could be myself around her without having her stare at me like a total weirdo.
“You’re already in the front? Ok, bye.” She quickly hung up.
“I have to leave already. But, I’ll see あなた on Monday!” She was already walking toward the car.
“See あなた then.” I whispered.

“Honey, dinner’s ready!” My mother yelled from the キッチン downstairs.
“Coming!” I yelled back.
I quickly changed into a T-shirt and shorts. As I was walking down I bumped into Kati, my older sister.
“Watch were you’re going, あなた little punk!” She exclaimed.
“Sorry!” I yelled back. My sister is very mean, and only thinks of herself. She has a boyfriend, of course. She is a beautiful 18 年 old, who has long wavy hair and a perfect shaped body. She always hated me no matter how incredibly nice I was to her. Sometimes I feel like I can never be accepted によって her.
I quickly rushed down the stairs, hiding my face from embarrassment.
“How was your 日 today, Paula?’’ She asked while putting a plate of chicken and ご飯, 米 in front of me.
“It was fine. We had a pop クイズ yesterday, and I got my scores today. I got a 100%.”I replied without surprise in my voice.
“Miss. Know-it-all.” Kati 発言しました angrily.
“Stop it, Kati. あなた should be proud of your sister.” Dad replied to Kati’s comment.
I always knew Kati was jealous of my intelligence. She never admitted it, though.
I was half-way done with my dinner, when Mom announced, “I got a promotion!” She exclaimed happily.
“Wow. Really Mom?” I asked.
She nodded. “Yes. The boss says that I did an excellent job on my last patient.”
“Let’s all go downtown to celebrate!” My father exclaimed.
“Yippy.” Kati 発言しました with sarcasm.
“I think that’s a great idea, but I’d rather go to ベッド early today. I have a huge test for math tomorrow.” I said.
“That’s all right, Honey. あなた get all the rest あなた need.” My mother said.
“Thanks for understanding Mom.” replied.
I went to the キッチン sink, and washed my plate. I hurried off to my room, and changed to my PJ’s. I washed my teeth and combed my hair, and went to get a good night’s sleep.
