Chapter 1


Officially, this day was the worst so far for Ramona Evans. It started like any other day, but it got "better" as it passed.

She woke up at 7 A.M. She washed herself. She brushed her dark brown hair and put some make-up on, and by make-up she means some eyeliner to make her boring chocolate brown eyes appear threatening. She dressed in her favorite blue sweater, black shorts and her combat boots, grabbed her backpack and went to school.

She met with her best friend, Felicia Moore, at the school entrance. Felicia was very pretty, unlike Ramona. Her blonde hair was always full of volume. Her blue eyes sparkled every time the light touched them, appearing to be the sky in the summer. She was tall and athletic and also popular. Ramona was just her best friend. She was known as the school's nerd only because she only got A's and B's in tests and quizzes. She was more of an introvert, unlike Felicia, who always went out at night. They completed each other and that's why she lover her.

They chatted a bit before the bell rang. Ramona's first period was Spanish. She loved that language.

"Buenos días, alumnos¹!" Miss Laurence said entering the class.

"Buenos días, senora² Laurence!" The class said without any enthusiasm.

"Today we will be learning about El Preterito Perfecto - The Present Perfect."

Everything went OK until some decided not to pay attention, so the teacher decided to give them all a pop quiz. Of course, no one knew anything.

"Why are you so sad?" Felicia asked her friend, expecting her usual answer: 'That's my face'.

"Pop Quiz. At Spanish." Ramona said holding her tears back.

"Oh... Well, if it makes you feel better, we can go out for an ice cream. Or we could go to the library or-"

"Ice cream seems fine.." She said forcing a shy smile.

"Ice cream shall it be my dear Ra."

And so they went, at lunch break, to a cafe where they ate the promised ice cream. Felicia was talking about a new party or something, but Ra wasn't paying attention. She drifted into her thoughts and it was really hard to bring her back to reality.

Math. Ra's "favourite" subject. Miss Clarence was a fifty year old not married woman that insisted to be called 'Miss' under any circumstances.

Fortunately, this class ended fast. The bell rang and Ra grabbed her books and went towards her locker. She opened her locker but Lisa, the school bully among the girls, slammed it shut. Ra groaned internally.

"What do you want, Lisa?"

"Oh, you know."

Ra raised an eyebrow, or two, because she, like many people, is incapable to raise only one eyebrow. Lisa made a noise that sounded like a dog choking or vomiting.

"Just leave. I really don't have time for you."

Lisa just laughed in her face, reviling her white perfect teeth. That kid was a spoiled brat. She never got into trouble because mommy and daddy sponsored the school. Although she doesn't like rich people, apart from Felicia and her parents, she wold have enjoyed living in a big house or having the latest iPhone. Lisa didn't like people ditching her off, but she gets offended from the tiniest reasons, like for example, someone asking her to leave. And is what it took for Ra to have the worst day of her life. Lisa just casually put her gum in Ra's hair and spilled her Starbucks on her, thing that ruined her make-up and favourite sweater.

"Oops!" Lisa said putting on her 'innocent' face.

She laughed, or tried because she sounded like a dying seal. 'That's it' Ra thought. In a moment of rage she slapped that girl so hard that her make-up got all over Ra's palm. Luckily for Lisa, one if the teachers were passing by and so everything.

"Ramona Evans, in the principal's office, please."

"I know that you didn't meant it, but this attitude won't be tolerated in this school, miss Evans." Principal Stewart said. "I am afraid i will have to suspend you (A/N is this how it is said because students don't get suspended in my school or country) and I will also call your parents to inform them of what has happened."

"I understand." Ra said holding her head down. 'Why am I so stupid' she thought.

She grabbed her backpack and started walking home. 'How will i explain this to my parents?' she said out loud.

The wind rushed thru her hair. It was a warm afternoon, but not too warm. Just perfect after it rained. The only thing Ra wanted to do was to go home and rest. She knew her parents wouldn't be mad at her, but disappointed. This wasn't the best way to end summer or start the semester. After all, it has been two weeks since school started. Ra always thought that starting school in August was a little too early, but she had to cope with it.

Suddenly, she felt her explode. The pain was so bad that her vision started blurring.

Then she passed out.

Hey guys! Sorry for any spelling mistakes I have made. This story is set between TLO and TLH. Just imagine that instead of half a year difference between this books are instead or like a year or a year and a half.
