Hi, I am Clementine Heart,most people call me Clemens,for short.I'm 14 I have long layered blonde hair.I'm about 5 feet 6 inches.Very athletic and slender.Very pretty,yet very insecure.

Mom and I are packing, ready to leave this town.Were leaving behind our huge mansion.Mom said she never wants to see dad again.The divorce will be final in a few days.

Mom and dad were married for 16 years,but ended it.My dad is a music producer,making millions a year.Mom went to college when I was 11 and became a nurse.She was tired of depending on a man.Can you blame her?After all the years of fights with dad she said it was over.Of course I'll spend summers with him.I love my dad very much.He told me he'll still send plenty money to me and mom.

I woke up to a hand shaking me.Opened my eyes to a small house.Heard my mom yelling my name.

"Clemens,Wake up!"she yelled.

"What!Oh my gosh!Is this our new house?Its a shack!"I yelled back.

"Look the'res no need in spending all our fortune on a big house if its not needed.We can fix it up,get a paint job,fix the roof."she sounded so happy.She loved Tulsala Oklahoma and thats where we ended up.

After the long day of packing stuff,we finished.Its not so bad.I'm just not used to a small house.I look out the window and see guys in jeans and t-shirts walking the streets.Some girls in short skirts.I guess I should wear something similar to school tomorrow.I know I have to keep up with the fashion around here.As I thought about this I driffed off to sleep.

"Clemens!Wake up you're going to be late for school!"My mom sure could ruin my beauty sleep.

"OK!"I yelled.

After my shower I changed into a skirt,right above my knees.And I fitted pink t-shirt.I don't ware make-up so that saved about 10 or 20 minutes.

I ate some Honey Nut Cherioes and grabed my book bag.Mom pulled up to my new high school.I'll be a freshman.I told her I'd be fine and could check myself in.I walked into the offfice and gave the secretary my name and other needed stuff.

I walk into my new class and I walked up to my new math teacher Ms.Jonas.

She looked at me and smiled.

"Class we have a new student!"She smiled even wider.

"Hi,I'm Clementine,but I go by Clemens."

"Well,nice to meet you,we're all happy to have you with us.Please take a seat next to Lauren."She pointed to a girl sitting by herself.She was real heavy,but I had no problem with that I have tried to gain weight, but it doesn't come easy,I never a gain a pound.

I walked over,avoiding the uncomfortable stares at me.I sat beside her and smiled and introduced myself.She did the same.

During class I got paper thrown at the back of my head.Lauren stood up for me,though.

"Hey why don't yall cut it out!"She said in an annoyed tone to the guys behind us.

"Shut up fatass!"they yelled.Everyone around us laughed.

"Hey, you didn't have to do that."I said.Mad at myself for not sticking up for myself.

"No problem.Look I don't have much freinds,but you're not like all the blondes around here.Most think the're better than everyone and are so sure of themselves.If you wanna make it in this school,you're gonna need someone to help you out.Show you around.Teach you about the socs and the greasers.

"The whos and the whats?"I asked.What was she talking about.

"Look I'll explain it later,we have the same classes so I can tell you when we have free time."

"Ok!" I said happily.

I stuck out my hand for her to shake ,she looked at it and then me,smiled,and shook my hand.
