I stare out my window into the vast distance of New York. Living in New York City is amazing. Nothing can get better than that! Off in the distance I see White Tiger. She's a superhero. She's sitting on top of a building next to her teammates. Oh, if only I was a superhero, then I would be able to hang out with them!

"Niamoy!" Called my twin sister Kylie. "You need stop daydreaming. You have homework, you know!"

"I know. Can't a girl just daydream of being an Avenger?" I ask playfully.

"Hah!" She snorts. "The Avengers are superheros. You're not a superhero so let's get our homework done. The project is due tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow?" I squeak.

Kylie gras my hand and pulls me away from the window. But then she goes over to the window and smiles.

"Hey, I thought we are supposed to work on our project." I laugh.

"You didn't tell me Spiderman is right with his teammates!" Kylie says.

I sigh. "I like White Tiger better."

Kylie walks away from the window and pulls out our cardboard display. It has a picture of a bird and nothing else. We have so much to get done! I find some scissors and glue laying around our messy room and dump them on the floor next to her.

"Nimoy!" Called our mom from downstairs. "Get down here, NOW!"

I sigh and roll my eyes. "You know how mom is." I laugh. "I'll go see what's up."

Usually I don't get paid much attention to in my family. Kylie on the other hand, is the smartest. She gets great grades and I just keep falling behind with B's and C's. Adding in to that, I have four other siblings excluding Kylie. So six kids and two adults can be hectic.

"Yes?" I ask as I walk into the kitchen.

Mom holds up my latest test, a B. You may think that's fine, but not with my mom. "I expect more from you, what a disgrace to this family." Mom's words sting.

"What's wrong with you?" I ask defensively. "Treating your own child like this!"

I like to get on my mom's bad side. I don't know why. It's just something that makes me happy because I know my mom doesn't exactly love me.

"Niamoy, of course I love you!" She gushes. "JUst not when you get B's!"

"I'm sorry, mom. You don't want me? I'll leave." I cry out in anguish.

Mom sighs before looking me straight in the eyes. Her eyes are cold as ice and mine are burning with fire.

"Goodbye." I croak before turning away quickly and run out of the house.

I run fast into a nearby forest on the outskirts of town. I just needed to get away. That was all. I slow down when entering the forest. The air is cool and fills my lungs with relief. Fresh, seet air.

I sit down and pull of my shoes and socks. The earth feels cool on my feet and I wander a little more before coming across a little creek. I slowly step in and let the water rush over my blistered feet.

I sigh and close my eyes before feeling a stinging sensation on my leg. I look down and see an ant. I red ant burying its teeth into my skin. What the heck. I swat it off before splashing water onto the cut. What a great day, I tell myself sarcastically.

What I didn't know was that the ant would save my life.

This is the story of Ant-Girl.
