Nobody

She knew that she was no one special, a nobody in a somebody world. She had no one in particular, no friends to turn to and a family that ignored her.
She had long ago come to grips with the life that she had been dealt. She no longer looked to make friends or go to her family for help.
She just went threw the motions of each day. She learned to be quite and to hold her emotions inside. It seemed, as time went on, that she could almost become invisible. She liked when people left her alone.
Then one day her family moved to a new town. She didn't have much hope for this new town. She knew that there was not much of a chance for her to become popular. She was an outcast, a nobody with no friends.
But o her first day of school, someone must have been smiling down on her. For while school was boring and the teachers crazy, she did meet someone new.
"Hi, I'm Jane Lane."
"Daria Morgendorffer."
Someone just like her.
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you - Nobody - too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! They'd banish us - you know!
