Chapter One
My name is Matilda. I grew up in a small town along with my parents and my older brother. They hated me, I grew up lonely, but one day everything disappeared. Before my father met Mrs. Trunchbull, school was something I always wished for. One day, my father came in my room and told me I was going to school. I felt excited, and up to this day, I still remember the butterflies inside my stomach when I walked in the first day of school. Well, life wasn't amazing either; Mrs. Trunchball was cruel and unfair. The students were traumatized, but when I met Ms. Honey, everything changed. Ms. Honey is the person I call my mother now.
When I was just a child, I discovered that I had magical powers. No one believed me, but somehow I never gave up.
My father had a car shop; he sold cars with used parts, and, made tons of money out of it. I tried to stop him, but as always his phrase, "I'm big, you're small," I was basically tired of it. I hated my life, but when I got to school, everything changed. I had friends, I wasn't lonely.
Through various adventures, I got to know my teacher. We shared so many interests, and one of them was reading. I had a passion for reading, and so did my teacher, of course, she's a teacher.
My teacher soon found out that my family was in problems. I figured that out, but I wouldn't tell anyone knowing that my family was in danger, after all, I did love them, they were my family, and they give me a home.
One day, my teacher invited me to her house. We were eating cookies, and we hear a siren from the distance. I saw my family inside the car coming towards the house. I knew we were in trouble, and I certainly knew why. My father jumped out of the car.
"Let's go Matilda. Come on hurry up, they're after us."
'No. I don't want to go"
I really didn't want to go. The police was lost by then, but I still knew that my family wasn't getting anywhere. My teacher begged my parents to comprehend. As weird as it sounds, my teacher adopted me.
