Life is great. Well, as great as it can be for an eight year old. I have a best friend, a loving family and I get told I'm smart a lot!
I love everything about my life. Well, my brothers could be a little less annoying somethings, but my mum says they'll become useful for happiness at some point.
I'm happy at the moment. I'm getting good grades at school, and my teachers love me. In fact, my report card had five gold stars because I'm a good girl! It even had "Well done Aspen! You're going to great places!" Written on it.
Dan is coming over tonight, because we've both been good. Dan is my best friend, because he's like me! He's different, so we stay away from all the girls that like Barbies, and the boys who say they are only allowed blue things because that's what boys are supposed to like.
We also stay away from them because they're mean. They pushed me over in year 1, and that's when I stopped being nice to them.
Ooh! That's the doorbell! It could be Dan!
I run downstairs and get the door. It is Dan!!
"ASPEN!"
"DANNY!!"
"Oh my god, it's-"
"Daniel, watch your language"
"Sorry mum" Dan says as he turns to me with an eye roll. I giggle nervously.
"Bye mrs Howell!" I say as I pull Dan inside and shut the door.
"YOU GODDAMN KIDS" my older brother, Jack shouts "THAT WAS RUDE"
"Sorry JJ!" We run up the stairs, to go to the playroom.
Dan grabs the pink car and looks at me with a grin. I grab the black on and we start racing. Them along the carpet, making car sounds.

"MUMMY" I cried as I ran in the door, my dad stumbling behind me, with all the bags. "DANNY WASN'T IN SCHOOL ALL WEEK."
"Aspen, darling, please stop shouting, you'lol wake Jack up, and he needs to rest."
"Sorry mummy. But I asked the teacher where he was, and she said he moved! " I promptly burst into tears, as I remember the for sale sign outside his house.
"Sweetie, did you not get told? His daddy got a job and they had to move away, so he could take the job and have an amazing time."
"NO" I scream as I run up the stairs and slam my door shut. I'm not going to believe any of it. Ever. It just isn't fair. It never goes the way it is supposed to!

I turn up Ride (|-/) as I walk to school. I untuck my shirt and mess my hair up a little bit as I continue walking. I reach the gate and stop,taking a big breath as I carry on, to inside the school.
My mum somehow managed to get me into a school without uniform, and I am so grateful she did. I could never cope with the white blouses, they always suffocated me.
A pair of hands grab my shoulders and spin me around. I see Beth smiling at me, and I return the smile, nervously.
"First day of school, loser. Excited?"
"Yup. I'm so thrilled to be back in my kingdom. Hell." I reply dryly.
"We don't call you Satan for nothing, do we? You literally run this place. After last year's incident, everyone worships you. I'm pretty sure tommy has a shrine of you, actually. I heard he-"
"Ok, dude, enough" I chuckle "no none wants to know what Tommy does to the shrine of me"
"Hey, I know you only really hang out with us, but did you know you're the it-girl of the school this year?" She asks, inquisitively.
"You're lying, I literally got bullied so badly I was pushed in a fucking bin last year." I scoffed at her.
"Hey, you're the one who took Lili out of action last year, not anyone else. People love you, dude." She giggles. I never thought I'd hear her say that.
(A/N): OMG first chapter I'm really nervous 😂😂. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this. I'm kinda terrified 😂👋🏻
