Never before had I read a letter. A proper ink- written-parchment letter. Sure, I had received one or two birthday cards from my estranged family in Mexico, but Hogwarts? I had never received a letter from Hogwarts that's for sure. I won't lie; the moment the letter arrived I couldn't help but get a bit excited. It was picture perfect, just like in the movie. The replica was eerily precise, and, when the owl flew from my neighbor's tree I almost believed that I was, indeed, a witch. I even came all the way to my room and messaged my friend Sally. Sally is a Potterhead, just like me. We can't wait till the fourth book comes out this year:

My old laptop screen freezes when a pop up porn ad appears. Great. This are the kind of things that happen to people like me. This, and getting prank admission letters from Hogwarts. The moment of thrill has already settled and now all I can feel is paranoid. You see, unless you count my English lit teacher Liza, Sally is my only friend. After that the rest of my classmates range from people who ignore me to people who torment me. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them sent me the stupid letter just to laugh at it. Im not going to say Im ugly, or fat, or stupid. I don't think those things are true. But they definitely think that. And sometimes, when you've been called something so many times, for so long, it turns you into that. In your head and in theirs. Like a self-fulfilling prophecy. And I'm sure it was one of them, probably Liam, who did this. It so stupid, so stupid, don't cry don't cry. They'd be glad to see you cry…
