Nobody Compares to You

Chapter 1

Chapter one

Allison's P.O.V.

I don't know whats worse, being laughed at in class while my hair caught on fire or crying in class when my classmates were laughing at me. Let me tell you i think both of them or worse!! It all started when....

My science teacher Mr. V decided it will be "fun" to begin the new chemistry unit with a lab. I thought it would be fun because all we ever do in class is take notes from an overhead that was around since before dinosaurs.

Erika, one of my bffs from grade 2, looked like she was about to fall asleep beside me.

"Psst erika," i whispered. No answer. "ERIKA," i whispered louder. She immediately jumped up like her pants were on fire. Everyone was giving her a strange look like she had three heads.

"Woah!! Allison!! You scared the crap out of me!" she looked at me with hatred, but i knew she could never hate me. I looked at her and shrugged it off like it was no big deal.

By then, the whole class was looking at the two of us. Mr.V decided to throw in one of his famous "you disrupted my class" look, which by the way was totally unnecessary. The mumbling of his annoying helium voice made me give up listening to instructions on how to properly light the bunsen burner. Oops.

"Ok class, you have 40 min to finish your lab. Choose your partners wisely," Mr.V said.

Im always with Erika because she has a science mark that totally beats mine by like 20 %. By the time we were at our lab bench, we only had 20 min left. Great. I hate working under pressure.

"Okay, Ally, can you get the bunsen burner and light it please," Erika smiled at me because she wanted to see me burn my hand instead of hers.

Erika is about my height which is 5"2 or 5"3. She has very long dark hair past her back, brown eyes, and loves to play the clarinet. I on the other hand, have shoulder length brown hair, glasses and hazel eyes. We have known each other for 8 years.

I carefully switched the gas supply to on and connected the bunsen burner. However, i forgot something very important. A HAIR TIE!!! That is like lab safety tip #1. It was too late. I reached over to grab my pencil to make notes and boom! The gas exploded and my hair was on fire!!!

Mr. V and the whole class started laughing at me!!! I was so embarrassed i quickly put water on my hair and was relieved when the bell rang.

"Wow that was a pretty bad thing that happened to you in science. Eh?" Blake Somers chuckled.

Omg. Did Blake Somers just talk to me? Ahhh. He is like my biggest crush i ever had in high-school.

"Haha, yeah. I was really embarrassed," i managed to blurt out.

We were walking beside each other but not too close. He is in my history class and we are starting to become friends. The bell rang and we eventually split up to sit down. He sat at the front of the class and i sat at the back. He wouldn't notice me staring at him. Hehe.

I unlocked the door and came in to find Toby.

"Heey boy heey," i petted and scratched him on the head. He loves massages especially from girls. I wonder why.

"Hey mom, im home," i yelled upstairs. Hmm. Thats strange, where is my mom? Curious, i ran upstairs and i found my mom sleeping in bed. Phew, i thought something bad happened.
