All but one more

The note

School. If it's the one and last thing I hate, it's school. Ugh. The bus, the ugly messy yellow stinky stupid noisy bus is coming in two weeks. TWO! Only two! And I'm still recovering from last year. Sigh. This sucks. I usually get teased at school for my red hair and freckles, and how I smell like horse. I don't have one friend. The girls are stuck up snobs, and all the boys do is play basketball, boring, and talk. Two, no ten times boring. Why wouldn't I want to be a pretty, fancy, rude, annoying, stuck up snob or a person who plays basketball and talk all their lives? Because I can be awesome, energetic, loving, not ugly but not pretty, smart, sensible (most of the time), caring person. I can also be out-of-whack sometimes. But they can't seem to accept a person like that. Like me. So I spend most of my time either reading or drawing, sometimes even writing.

The teachers are so stupid. Here's a example. In grade 4 I dug myself a hole, right under their noses. I made myself a hidden entrance, it's quite deep and cozy inside. I poked out multiple small holes in the dirt so I can both breathe and to bring in light so I can see. The people in my class don't know where I hide. They call me a witch because I disappear. I could care less.

Right now I'm looking at the map, planning my escape to a distant faraway land. America sounds good to me. I live about 20 minutes away from the border, on the Canada side. Yeah, that's where I'm from. Canada. Eh? No. I haven't said that word unless I'm talking about Americans teasing us saying that we say eh.

No, I don't live in a igloo either. I have a house with power, a iPad, a laptop, a TV, you name it we probably have it, including combines, tractors, grain trucks, swathers, etc.

I bet you can tell I live on a farm too. With 9 pets. 4 horses, 2 alpaca lamas, 1 dog, and 2 cats. I love my horse, Chance. I ride her after school to get away from everyone. It's the only time I can relax. I hate school, my brother is annoying, my parents, I don't even want to talk about. But riding calms me and my horse would never bug me.

So I'm going riding. Alone, like normal. I feel the wind rush through my hair, my horse running beneath me, and something random hit my back. Wait. What? A note slid down onto the dirt behind me.

"Whoa," I spoke, pulling back lightly on the reins. Like a good horse, Chance stopped immediately.

I jumped down and picked up the note. It had a emblem on it. I detached the strange wax seal and pulled out the letter. I began reading the green ink:

This looks like witch and wizard things. A whole bunch of crap, someone trying to trick me like that. Hogwarts? What type of name is that anyways? I still am taking it home. So I got on my horse and headed home, galloping the whole way.
