• Chapter 1
    Sometimes you just have one of those days where you just wanna run up to the nearest wall and slam your head against it until you fall into a state of unonsciousness. I am having one of those days! Oh the tragedies that I, Eileen Rhodes, must face! If only I could make them disappear by just snapping my fingers!
    But of course, as the world as proven at least a million times, life doesn't work that way. By just wishing for it to get better, it usually gets worse. And to believe the world began to implode(mine at least) exactlyone hour and fifteen minutes ago.
    My best friend Ivy and I were talking about how the adorably wonderful Adrian had actually looked at me all cool like during third period when Mr.Johnson shouted at us for chatting on. I mean come on! I know class was starting but I really needed to talk about that! Anyway, Mr.ohnson announced the winner's for the 'Save the dead guy's monument' essay thing. So I couldn't remember his name. He doesn't care. He's dead.
    Well thae actually pick three of the six winner's from our school! I don't know who the other three were but they were taking a seperate trip so I really care. The winner's from our school were going to an amusement park and I'm sooo looking forward to it. At least, I was.
    Now, since I don't even know the guy's ame, it's safe to say that I didn't write an essay. But Ivy did...
    "The winner's of the essay contest are:" Mr.Johnson had said, "Ivy Languish, Drusilla Walkerton, and Cedric Chase." It was then that my heart had sunk. Cedric was rude, crude, and all around evil person in my professional opinion and Drusilla was no walk through pleasent lane.
    "The winner's" he continued, "will be going to the Sky High Amusement Park and are allowed to invite one guset to accompany them. I need you to tell me who you intend to invite so the neccessary prepartions can be made. Miss Languish?"
    "Eileen of course." She said. I had smiled and nodded.
    "Of course... Miss Walkerton?"
    "I'm taking Adrian!" she cooed in her obnoxious, self-absorbed, prissy voice. Ohhh she gets me! She knows I like him but never leaves him alone! But I'll show her! He will be mine!
    "Chase?"
    He had flipped his dark brown hair from his face, eyed some of the girls near him and said, "I invite Basil." Then he had looked right back at me and gave me this evil little grin. I wanted to kick his chair then but he was to far away.
    Ugh. And why'd he have to invite Basil. He's got black hair, this cold, quiet attitude and he's really sarcastic. But he creeps me out with his weird purple eyes. And he's really popular. I'm not unpopular but girls practiacally hound them and the guys are always jealous. Don't know why. They both tend to be jerks.
    And that's who Ivy, gorgeous Adrian, and I are stuck with for what could've been the greatest trip of the year. If only it was just Adrian coming to, it'd be perfect.
    Now I'm sitting here in English in a horrible mood, ranting to myself in my head. Yay. If I could just get some fresh air and feel the wind blow through my blond hair. I could even stare into the sun till my blue eyes went red and still feel better. I'll just have to wait until school is over.
    I leaned back in my chair and stared out the window. There were some clouds slowly floating by and a few birds flying around. I sighed a little and felt a little better. Staring at the sky always made me feel better and get over things. It was so peaceful. So peaceful and-
    "Miss Rhodes! I would appreciate it if you could join us here in the real world and repeat the last paragraph!"
    "Wha-" With the thump from my chair I was pulled back to reality. And completely lost.
    "I see you have no idea where we are so Mason, please finish."
    I felt my cheeks heat up a little but no one seemed to notice. Good. At least it'll be less-
    "Hey." I looked behind me and saw Basil giving me this funny look. "How stupid can you get. Why were you acting like thyat anyway you weirdo?" I can't believe it! That jerk thinks I'm a weirdo! Has he lookedin a mirror lately? Where does he get off calling me weird. Aghhhhh. And I have to go on a trip with him.
