My name is Corlina. I'm just an ordinary girl starting a brand new school. At 16 I have already had a rocky start in life. I've moved around schools a lot, I know what your asking why. Well it all started like this.:

10 years ago I had to go into hospital. As a young girl I was already showing strange behavior although most people would put it down to me being an ignorant child. I refused to listen and was determined to go and do whatever I wanted.

The nurses thought it would be a good idea if I had an MRI scan. I hated every moment of the journey down there into the MRI room even going into the MRI scanner itself. I was always a squirmier from a very young age and I refused to sit still in the scanner.

I remember the nurses talking to me "Just sit still and look at the pretty lights Corlina".  The dark tunnel and the lights scared me.  Even though I was 6 I could tell the nurses and my mum was worried about me.

Suddenly out of nowhere sparks from the machine started flying and the machine powered down by itself. It took an hour and about 5 guys to get me out of there.

Scary isn't the correct word for a situation like that. They did still manage to see the scan though, it turns out that there is a cloud on my brain.

If anything this entire situation just left more unanswered questions for the nurses and my mum. Even as I got older the questions I posed to my mum even went unanswered because the truth is,... no one really knows the answers to these questions.

Anyway as I said I'm just starting this brand new school called Kentwood. Most of the school have already started the GCSE curriculum without me. I enrolled at this school half way through Year 11.

The dreaded exam years.. As if my life was complicated and stressful enough already.So I decided to de-stress I have enrolled into a karate class with Mr Kyto,

The Karate class had got to be the best Idea I have ever had. The thing is out of all the school's I've been to this one is definitely different. Here there are two groups

Like most schools You have the Jocks and brainiacs etc...Here we have The Stronglings and the Weaklings.

The Stronglings are mainly people who are basically pretty athletic and strong and yet don't have no brain at all. These guys are basically hit first and ask questions later kind of people. They don't care about the consequences.

On the other hand we have The Weaklings,. They are not strong and sporty like these guys but they do have a brain and are probably the most kindest people in the school.

When you first arrive here there is definitely a kind of peer pressure from The Stronglings to decide who's side your actually on.

The Weaklings are actually scared of these guys, they could probably beat these guys in a chess match but definitely not any kind of physical sport what so ever.

I'm one of The Weaklings, I decided I was not going to give into any of the bullies that supposedly run the school. But to The Weaklings surprise I did something that no Weakling had ever done before in the history of the school. I started taking Karate classes.

Some of them of course wanted to kick me out of their little group because of this and yet when The Stronglings found out about this.. Some were scared and some were not fooled by this.

The one's that were not fooled actually believe they can take me on in a fight. We shall see about that.
