[Okay you know what? There is so much to tell, yet I don't have that much time. There are people listening to me tell the story and they might interrupt me in the middle of this. So, I will just tell you my story the short way. Or….at least the medium way. Because the short way is way too short, at a minimum of two paragraphs if written on paper. Gah! I should just quit stalling and just tell the stupid story, okay?]

Chapter 1

It was an average day for me…or so I thought. So I woke up, sunlight streaming through my window, as it always does. I got up and took a shower, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. Then, I went downstairs.

"Good morning, Hana!" said Tami, my adoptive mother.

"Good morning, Tami! Morning, Jeff!" I said, waving to my adoptive father, Jeff. I have adoptive parents because supposedly, when I was a baby, people found me in the middle of a crater in the middle of nowhere. I've never known my real parents. Just Tami and Jeff.

So I ate my breakfast in the super messy way that I always do. Next, I grabbed my backpack, slipped on my shoes, and headed to school. And that was my last normal morning ever. EVER…

Oops, I forgot to properly introduce myself. My name is Hana, and I am super unpopular. I am also very strong. I have a slight tan, black eyes, and spiky black hair that is goes down to my chin. It's never grown past that point. I live in West City, which is on Earth and I have two friends named Monde and Bani.

Monde has very pale skin, sea-green eyes, and caramel-blonde hair that grows. Bani definitely has a tan, almost black eyes, and shiny black hair that sort of grows. Both of them are adopted, but Monde was found deserted in a cavern, left to die, and Bani was found also in a crater, but at the bottom of a cliff. (Our biological parents were bad people, weren't they?)

We are all very different (aka, I am a year older than them), but we share one thing in common: we're in sixth grade, and we want our knight in shining armor to come to us.

So, as I was saying, I headed off to school. When I got there, it was only ten minutes until the bell rang and I had to get to my first class: literacy with Mrs. Tele. After that was science with Mr. Comput. Next would be French with Mrs. Cipyu. The class after that was math with Mrs. Hardryve. Lunch was after that. Study hall came after lunch. Then, social studies with Mr. Watts came. Next (the best class of the day), P.E. with Mrs. Pixil. Advisory with Mrs. Cipyu was my last class, and then homeward bound.

Before I could go to literacy someone behind me yelled "HEY GOOFBALL!" I turned around and thought, Oh no. It was the school bully, Geletina. She always bullies me despite my strength. She's also fixed it so that she's the most popular girl at school. Everybody loves her, except for the poor unfortunate souls she bullies.

She took a step closer to me, and smirked. She was shorter than me, and way weaker. "So, are you going to be late for class?" she mocked.

"Leave me alone, Geletina," I said back. Geletina looked at her punk-style friends, and they all started laughing. "Leave me alone, Geletina," they imitated. While they were distracted I headed down the hall, put my stuff in my locker, and started the last normal school day I would ever have.

Literacy went quite well. We were studying verb tenses (bleh). Science was also okay. We took a quiz over fossils (yuck), and I got an F. French was sort of boring. We were studying classroom objects and forms of avior (eew). Math was the best class so far. We were working on adding/subtracting fractions (someone might as well touch my uvula). At lunch, they were serving chicken patty on a bun with tossed up salad, scalloped potatoes, and milk (I am drooling like a dog). I sat at the table with Monde and Bani and we talked about which boys we liked and which was the hottest. After lunch was study hall, which was super boring. All I did was read (I'm going to hurl). Social studies was cool enough. We were studying ancient Egypt (icky). Then, finally came P.E, the best class of the day. It was also the only class I had with Geletina.

Today, we were going to check our height, weight, and test our strengths. I weighed 200 pounds (I SWEAR THAT I AM NOT FAT! I AM ON A VERY HEALTHY DIET!), and measured 5'2. After all that, Mrs. Pixil brought out a board that was connected to a cord that had some kind of scale with numbers up from 1-10. Mrs. Pixil explained that you punched the board and the scale measured your strength. 1 meant you were a weakling. 3 was a 6th grader's average strength. 5 was the average woman adult strength, and 7 was the average man adult strength. 10 meant you were super strong. She also explained that we didn't have to worry about accidentally breaking the board because she had bought it yesterday. So I just have to get above 3 and I'm fine, I thought.

I heard snickering and turned around to find Geletina and her friends smiling behind their hands. "I bet she'll get a zero. No, a negative fifty," I heard them say, and it was obvious that they were talking about me. "Idiots," I muttered under my breath.

"OKAY, ALL OF YOU GET IN A LINE AND PUNCH THE BOARD AS HARD AS YOU CAN!" called out Mrs. Pixil. Everybody hurried to get in line and as usual, I was stuck at the end and Geletina was the first. I was okay with that, considering I hate Geletina's guts. I heard her punch the board and an ultra loud "YES!" She came bounding up to me and put her face directly in front of mine "I GOT TWO AND A HALF! IN YOUR FACE!" (And in this case, it really was in my face.)

It took a long time for all the people to punch the board. Class was almost over when it was finally my turn. When I went up to the board, Geletina and Friends were going to explode with laughter soon. "Go ahead. Punch the board," I heard Mrs. Pixil say. Obediently, I pulled my fist back, not really expecting anything that would make everybody say WOW! THAT WAS AWESOME!

So, I closed my eyes as I threw my fist forward and felt practically nothing. But the weird thing was that everybody gasped. I opened my eyes to find that the remains of the board that shattered before my feet.

"Ummm…beginners luck, anyone?" I asked nervously.

Before anyone could answer, the bell rang. "OKAY, BYYYEEEE!" I yelled as I ran out the door. Going to my locker, I grabbed my trapper, went up to Mrs. Cipyu's class for advisory with two minutes to spare before the tardy bell rang.

I finished advisory and said "Goodbye" to Mrs. Cipyu. When I went to my locker, I heard a familiar voice say "How could a wimp like you break a board that strong?" I turned around to find (as always) Geletina and her punk friends.

"Maybe I'm not that much of a wimp if I broke it and you didn't," I shot back.

"Don't be stupid, of course you're a wimp. After all, I was holding back my strength when I punched that board."

Yeah, right, I thought.

"I'll beat you up tomorrow. You'll see," warned Geletina as she walked away.

She did NOT know how much of a lie that was.
