It's only been 2 months and I already want to burn this damn school down to the ground. The same permanthean board with the same old tired yellow and orange theme that Ms.Clark just loves to use for "interactive" notes.The same 4-subject blue spiral with my freakin crap handwriting,it's all the same.

"Chrysanthedumb you're blocking my view."

"Shut up Bree." I turn around mutter "You're taller than me!"
It's true this 5"10 Latina cheerleader with her sleek black ponytail and snobby friends has always diminished a way to pick on me,no matter how non excient
"Ms.Shreave? Something to share with the class?" "Um no Ma'am." I stutter
"Then face forward."
"Yes Ma'am." *Bell Ring

  Being a 17 year old named Chrysanthemum
Shreave is very annoying. If I had a dollar for every time someone mispronounced my name I be freakin' rich. I don't know what my parents were thinking when they named me that.
"Babe!"
"Dallas." My boyfriend trots towards me.
"You look gorgeous today.- I mean you look gorgeous everyday it's just that I-."
"Thank you." I say interrupting him with a kiss.

"Chrissy!"
"Noah!" I say breaking away from Dallas, to look over to my best friend.
. "Um Are you ready?"
"Ready for what?" I wonder.
"YEARBOOK?!"
"Oh yeah." I say remembering.
"Bye babe." I peck Dallas's cheek and walk away with Noah.
"When are you going to break up with him?" He blurts.
"Why would I break up with him?" I stare at Noah. He blushes "No reason." He scurries into the yearbook classroom.
"What's up with him?" I wonder aloud. He's always so weird with Dallas.

I walk into yearbook and I'm immediately greeted by Quinn. Ugh.
"Chrissy,You were supposed to have the pictures on my desk YESTERDAY!" She screams in her annoying angelic voice.
"I didn't have any inspiration. I didn't want give you crappy pictures." I say matter of factly.
"Well." She says becoming annoyed." TAKE Noah and get ME PICTURES!" She pauses and I stand there. "NOW!"
"Ok ok," I grab Noah and say,"Let's go She-Devils comin' out." Quinn glares at me as we exit and go outside.

As soon as we get outside it starts raining. "Great." I turn Noah "I'll get the umbrellas and .
waterproof camera case." He nods and I come back with the stuff and it is pouring.
"Even Better." I murmur.
"Chrysanthemum!" Noah screams "MOVE!"
And that's the last thing I heard next to my scream.

 "Chrysanthemum!" Noah screams "MOVE!" And that's the last thing I heard next to my scream
