nerd alert part one

CH.1

Did you know there are as many chickens as there are humans on earth? Or that about 75 acres (approx. 303,514.23m2) of pizza is eaten every day in the US? Yeah that's right, fact nerd right here. I get teased every day, with really original names like 'nerd' and '4-eyes', which is stupid because I don't even wear glasses. I have unruly chocolate brown hair which falls limply down to my mid-back and cannot decide if it is straight or curly, the result is MESS. It also doesn't help that it flops over my exorbitant eyes, which are both a soft but metallic brown. I love them because they are perfect for my all deadly death stare, able to teardown even the strongest of souls, able to 'persuade' others to do my will. Sadly though, I am not given the chance to death stare others into doing my will often. Oh, sorry, I got caught up in my fantasy where I am killing people with my eyes, fun...yeah; anyway, my name is Ataraxia. Weird, strange, I know, call it what you like I don't care, most people call me Xia. Now that I have introduced myself, let's get on with it...

"Mwa ha ha! Die puny barbies, you will never escape my wra...."

'BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP!'

I turn over in bed, pulling my doona with me and the total combined weight throws me off the bed and I land with a loud thud. Frustrated, I angrily launch my alarm clock across the room, watching it as it takes squeaks it last 'beep' then nothing. I sit on the floor groaning and prepare myself for the dangerous and heroic task of.....getting up.

*20 agonizing minutes later, a strawberry and a magazine*

Ahh school, the place where everyone learns important skills, like, how to whisper without being caught, and sleeping with your eyes opened (how does anyone actually do that?). Who invented school? No one knows but we do know it was back past 5, 000BC. There I go again, spouting facts, literally. Anyway, as I strolled through the pristine hallways on my way to first period, I encountered the Minties, no, not giant walking lollies, but the group of 'mean girls'. Before you ask, I call them the Minties because they are like mints, clean and refreshing at first then bam, the taste goes wrong. Yeah I here you, every school has them, why? Who knows, this is one fact not even the best fact nerd can solve (A.K.A me).

"Move! Are you, like, deeee-af?" screeched Christy (head of Minties), stretching out the word 'deaf'.

"OMG! You are, like, sooooo funny Christy!" giggled Jade (minion number1).

I glanced at them carelessly, noting to myself that minion number 3 was missing and to ask around to find out why.

Sighing, I mumbled "Barbies."

"Sorreeeeeeeeee, but whaaaaaat did you, like, saaaaaay?" drawled Christy.

"Yeah, she like, saaaaid something," piped Jade.

I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself, but I couldn't help it, with their high-pitched squeak they called speaking, and their minty-ness, I promptly opened my eyes and hurled myself at them.
