Ending the beginning...

Chapter 1

The wind blew my dirty blond hair into my face, caked with makeup. I frowned I felt the pressure of eyes, rolling over me. Laughter, questions, and cameras were everywhere. I ran as far as I could hoping nobody was following me. Frezzing cold snow blew into my mouth and eyes and I knew that I had launched a career, something I thought I wanted but turned out false. I was the target that everyone aimed at. The rabbit everyone was chasing. The last half year of my life has been the best and the worst, but I was ready to go back to the life in the past. I had thought this is what I had always wanted, but it's not. Fame, glory, riches, and love would just have to wait. "Dawn! Come back!" was the last thing that reached my red ears before I vanished into the cold, foggy, forest. Nothing could stop me now. I'd have to find an ending to my beginning.

Six months ago...
"I know it'd be hard but I'm ready to take a shot!"
"You mean the hundreth shot?" Bop said, sarcasticly.
"This time I can make it! I mean, I'd be on TV, everybody would see me, this could be the moment I've been waiting for! My dreams could transform to reality! Bop, you're the closest thing on the face of this earth to me, which means, you should have no problemo supporting me!" I began to make my puppy eyes that always made him feel guilty.
"Fine! But just because I know you have a little potential.."
"A little?!?!?! I think I deserve a little more than that!"
"Fine, more than average..." We laughed and walked to the kitchen to grab some hot chocolate before Bop went home.
"Bye Boppy Boy!"
"Bye Dawn!" We exchanged warm hugs and completed our signature handshake. "See ya tomorrow, sunshine!!"
"Haha. You're halairious..." A smile slipped out of my mouth as he walked away kicking snow that blocked the sidewalk.
The next day at school I picked up the pamphlet at school that read:
SCHOOL FUND RAISER!! SIGN UP NOW!!
I flipped it over to read the back.

I tingled with excitement as I walked to science class.
"Bounjour class, take a seat."
"Mrs. Francisco, do you ever start class without using those words?" Penny asked nosily.
"Well, seems like it worked for the rest of the class." Penny looked around, noticing that she wasn't he only one standing up.
"Ooh! Heehee!" She chuckled, then joked, "Au revoir!" as she took her seat next to her giant boyfriend, Hoops ( his real name is David, but he insists everyone to call him Hoops, becse of his passion for basketball).
"Merci beaucoup, Penny! Alright class, today we will be learning about the bird's skeleton." The boys gasped, knowing this would lead to a dissection lab. " Who knows what thier skeleton looks like?" Nobody raised their hand except Janice, who knows about everything about animals. "OK. Nobody else?" Everyone's hands remained on our laps,desks, or sides. "Can ne fait nen! We will learn together! Everyone come up to my desk starting with the first row, and we will all look and study it." I gulped. Because of my height, ever since second grade, I've been in the front row. The results of this have led to me being severely clusterfobic. I slowly walked up front, trying to tail the line. "Row deux". The second row walked up and I took a deep breathe. " Trois and Quatre may slowly come up." Carol, cross countries star, ran up to ga better view before she was stopped by Mrs. Francisco. "S'il vous plait, Carol! No running, again. I've told you thins before and I will tell you again, you will knock things over! This is not gym! Merci." Carol didn't listen and she slammed into me, knocking me into the crowd even more. The class squished me and knocked my clear glasses off. Hoops stepped on my hand and Salem kicked my glasses to the wall. I struggled getting up and I knocked my head on the desk.
"Ow! Move over!" I yelled, but my voice just blended into all the other talking, excited students. I felt woozy and lightheaded from hitting my skull on the desk and I finally managed to stand up. I grabbed my glasses and the teacher excused me to the nurse. In the office, I was given ice and some Advil. I quickly drank a glass of water and breathed a deep breath.
