MICHELLE

Prologue

I think Miss Pitts hates me or something. Because this morning I got expelled for refusing to go to Geometry. Its just studying stupid shapes! What's so interesting about that?!

"You are so stubborn, Michelle Sapphire!" She screamed.

Then I remembered screaming back at her about boredom and she was like "NO! You must go! You caused enough trouble Missy! Why can't you be like your innocent classmates or what you were before!" But this time, her form flickered and became a stern, cold but beautiful woman. She wore a goatskin cloak and in her hand was a lotus flower. Then it became old, ugly, Miss Pitts again.

The truth is, I don't remember anything about what I was before. It was one day I found myself sleeping in geometry and didn't know anything. I only remembered that my name was Michelle Sapphire and I was EXTREMELY bored. And as I said, Miss Pitts hates me so she made my sorry life more sorry. I don't know why she hated me but she is a sadist devil.

So, yeah, I got expelled again from school. Miss Pitts sent a letter home about "Misbehavior and Talking Back, Screaming and Yelling at Teachers." But, I don't have a home. I live in a landfill, garbage and stealing to survive. Whenever something had to be signed by my 'parents', I just signed it myself. I only had enough money for school cause I found money easily. I'd walk by someone and their money would fly to me. Weird, right? But the person wouldn't even notice. So that made it weirder. Then after I'm 5 meters away from the person, they would notice and be like OMG! call 911! And I would be like No! Get me out of here! and run. So that was extremely weird. And it happened every time.

"Are you listening to me young lady!?" Miss Pitts screamed in my ear.

"Geez, do you take screaming lessons or something?" I said while rubbing my ear.

"This is exactly what I mean! You talk back and blabber nonsense! You have to go to stricter Schools!" Miss Pitts screamed again.

"Like I'm not in a strict one already."

"Shut up you idiot! Here!" Miss Pitts threw me some brochure. "Go to this school. I can not tolerate you any longer! And-" she ended her stupid speech with an ear/window shattering scream. Then she stormed away, literally, because a lightning storm surrounded her. But no one noticed but me. I really hate that.

I went to my dumpster trying to hide in the shadows. That was easy. I had some way with tunnels. It all started when when it was the first day (meaning the day I met Geometry. I used to have a happier life... which never happened but lets pretend and imagine it... yup, I can't imagine it) when I found a gopher hole and wishing I could fit. Then the hole grew bigger, just so I could fit. And the tunnels manufactured themselves for my needs. I darted to my little shack and opened the pamphlet. Mount Olympia it read. Boarding school for special needs students. I didn't like the feeling. Oh well. I thought. I'm going to need a school for next term.
