Hi guys! This is my first chapter of my new story! I hope you like it :)

Chapter 1

Hi, I'm Jane Stuart. A normal 15 year old girl, and today is my first day in this school. I was shaking all over while the teacher, Miss Price introduced me to the class, " ok everyone, this is Jane Stuart, a new student to our school! I hope all of you will get along nicely and be extra kind to her! So then Jane, say something to the class."

Suddenly everyone turned to my direction where i was standing, I was traumatized! I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out of it. People were now whispering to each other, confused. I heard a boy say, 'god she's small!' and everyone else agreeing with him. I flinched and felt like i wanted to cry, it's true though! I am very small! And i hate being small as well! Everyone thought i was 5 when i was 7 and now people often thought that I'm 12 when i'm actually 15.

Anyway, I've been standing here for about 5 minutes now, without saying a word. Miss Price nudged me, kind of forcing me to say something. So I finally faced the class, opened my mouth and whispered, "goo...goo..good afternoon...." everyone roared with laughter and I realized that i was meant to say good morning! I blushed with embarrassment!

However, a boy from the back row stood up and said, "hey guys, don't be mean to her, she's only new and nervous aren't you?" He started walking to my direction, stood in front of me. And guess what... I'm only a third of his height! I was gobsmacked, thinking if he's actually 17 or 18! Once again, everyone laughed, but only this time, they were laughing harder. Not because of my mistake of what i said, but because of our height difference. "gosh you are so small! Are you like really brainy, so you moved up to year 10 but your supposed to be in year 8??" said the tall boy sounding alarmed! Everone laughed harder.

"Go back to your seat now Tim Bailey and Jane, you can sit on the empty seat at the back next to Tim," said Miss Price. I sat down and found out i couldn't see anything but the head of the girl who's sitting in front of me... that's why i couldn't write any important notes in my first lesson (maths). I sighed as the breaktime bell rang, suddenly, someone nudged me by the arm. I lifted my head up and saw Tim handing his maths book over to me, smiling. "You couldn't copy the notes could you? here go, copy mine," he said. I blushed and i didn't know why. 

I took the book and mumbled thanks. Time flies by, before i knew it, the end of school bell rang. Everyone cheered and Tim unexpectedly said bye to me. I blushed again, but this time, i knew why....

I'm Jane Stuart. A normal 15 year old girl, and now I've found someone I like....
