"Rats!" thought Meg. It was a stormy day and, what felt like a bad day as well.
"Meg, hurry up you're late!" shouted Lois.
"Oh no!" she cried. She dressed at top speed and rushed down the stairs.
"Meg wait!" called Lois.
"No time mom!" shouted Meg as she ran off to school.
As soon as she arrived, the first period bell had rung, so she had to get a slip of paper to be admitted to class.
"Ah Meg, it's about time. I was just about to make an announcement." said Mr. Mathwhiz as she went to her seat. Meg smiled, she already knew what it was.
"Everyone, I have bad news." said Mr. Mathwhiz. "I lost your tests."
Everyone started complaining, grumbling, and booing the teacher. Meg just sat there petrified.
"We will have to retake the test. Please clear off your desks." he said.
When Meg recieved the test, she tried to remember the answers she had put down yesterday, but her memory was blank. Instead she had to guess on everyone.
During lunch Meg sat with her outcast group and started reminiscing about her day. It had been so horrible. She now knew why her mother had asked her to wait, it was because she had forgotten her lunch and her shirt was on backwards.
Everyone had laughed at her for the shirt thing for almost half of the day until Courtney had told her. She also forgot to do three homework assignments, failed a pop quiz, and slipped on a wet floor. Now it was lunchtime. She managed to dig up some money in her backpack to buy a school lunch. Unfortunately it was so gross, she could barely eat it.
"Hey Meg look, it's Jackson!" said Courtney.
Meg quickly looked up. A guy with a football jacket was walking up to her. It was the same guy in her vision!
"Hi Meg!" he said.
"Um hello!" she greeted shyly.
"So, how are you?" he asked.
"Oh, fine." she replied.
"Listen, would you like to go to the dance with me this Friday?" he asked.
"I'd be honored." she said.
"Great! See you then." he said. And went back to his buddies.
"Wow Meg!" said Courtney. "I can't believe Jackson asked you to the dance!"
"Me nethier." replied Meg.
The rest of the school day went by in a blur. When she got home and told Lois, she was surprised that her mom wasn't happy.
"Meg, are you sure he isn't pulling a prank on you?" she asked skeptically.
"Mom, he likes me! Why can't you just accept that!" cried Meg.
"Whoa, someone likes Meg?" asked Peter. "Is it Mr. Imaginary!"
"No! Just leave me alone!" shouted Meg. She rushed up to her room.
Why did her mom think that Jackson didn't really like her? Just because she had never had a boyfriend didn't mean she was stupid. She had seen the look in his eye when he asked her to the dance. He looked like he really liked her.
Meg sighed and went to bed.
