Chapter 1

It was the last week of school and I was determined to stay out of trouble but I knew it was no use, because I have ADHD, dyslexia, and my name's Maia Rashid, which every school in the state knows my name.

I'm famous for blowing up every school I go to and flooding the bathrooms. It seems like I'm a magnet for huge punks who try and mess with me, though I sometimes lose.

I guess they think its fun beating me to pulp. It's not that I'm trying to be bad-I actually just want a normal life-it's just that...things happen.

I'm fifteen years old and I have long, curly, orange hair and sea green eyes.

I moved to Manhattan from Greece when I was twelve by myself because my mom died of scarlet fever and I never knew my dad. I'm currently going to this boarding school called Central Park East High.

It's pretty normal except for the fact that I almost always get kicked out of classrooms and laughed at.

I have two fifteen year old friends named Padmé and Adam. Padmé is also ADHD and dyslexic. She has blonde hair with purple streaks to match her purple eyes. Padmé barely ever gets yelled at. In fact I'm starting to think that

no one even knows she exsists, which is why she probably hangs out with me in the first place. I don't resent it though. It's nice having someone you can talk to. A rare treat for me.

Adam has a wispy goatee and curly orange hair. He has crutches and walks like every step hurt. Except you should see him when there's coffee in the café... he's always first in line.

Anyways... here I was heading to class with my two best friends when this guy knocked into me. My books went flying out of my hands as I fell backwards.

"Hey watch where you're going...oh...uh...hi." I said blushing. It was him, the hottest guy in my whole grade, Ruben Williams.

Ruben swept his black hair aside with his hand and looked at me with an expression of somewhat shocked.

"Sorry." He said bending down and started picking up my books. I said something like "Um...yeah." It was the first time Ruben ever talked directly to me although he did kind of stare at me in the hallways

but then he looked away quickly trying to hide that fact that he was. In the class he hardly ever laughed at me except if I said something cocky at the teachers. Padmé and Adam stifled laughs although

Padmé looked a little red in the face herself. I snapped out of my trance.

"I'm sorry too... that's what I meant to say." I said.

"That's ok. I should have watched where I was going but I was just... never mind." He said looking over his shoulder then turned to look back at me.

"I was just heading to class do you want to join me?" I stared at his face trying to figure out what he was playing at. It was still ten minutes till the bell. I looked at Padmé who smiled and nodded then at Adam. He looked scared.

"I don't think that is such a-" He started to say but Padmé cut him off.

"Go ahead we'll meet you there."

"Ok then. Help me up." I said holding out my hand. Ruben took it and helped me up.

"Thanks." I said as we headed to class. I was about to enter when he grasped my hand again.

"Do you know about the dance on friday?"

"Yeah."I said.

"Well I was wondering if you would like to go with me."

"Really?."I said blushing.

"Yeah, but I will understand if you don't won't to go with me." Ruben said. He blushed a deep shade of red.

"No I didn't mean it like that but, I would love to go with you."

"Ok thanks." he said going into the classroom


"He did what?" Padmé asked later in the dorm room. I could hear a hint of jealousy in her voice.

"He asked me to the dance." I said still not believing my luck. The hottest guy in my grade asked me to the dance.

Me, the freak of nature with ADHD and dyslexia. Not to mention my other school incidents.

"Well... good-night." She said rather quickly then rolled over and turned out her light. She's just jealous I thought. I knew that Padmé always liked Ruben...But hey it's not like I asked him.

Besides I won't get asked by anyone else. I tried to finish my book but I was too distracted. I turned out my light and tried to fall asleep. Out of the whole day this was the worst part. For the past couple of nights, I been having

nightmares of being tortured and eventually killed. I didn't tell Padmé about them but sometimes I woke up screaming with Padmé staring at me strangely.

I then would tell her hastily that it was just a dream and would roll over so I wouldn't have to see her expression. I knew I would have to fall asleep eventually but I also dread what I would find in my dreams tonight.

I made up my my mind shut my eyes tight hoping that these few hours would pass and morning will come.
