I'm sick of school.

Hate it.

I always get bullied.

I have two friends.

Jonny and Landon.

Jonny is a black haired kid with freckles and used to be pale, but got a tan. His body figure is very slender.

Landon has brown hair, and plays lacrosse a lot. Not to many freckles.

"Come on, Riley... times up!"

No, school.

I wish it was no school.

When I get outside, it is windy and frosty.

The bus pulls up and smells like gasoline and sour milk.

Yuck.

"Hop on, Mr. Smith!"

"Do I have to?" I don't want to get on... that.

Once I leave, I see a tree.

A tall but twisted tree.

"Oh, thats a maple tree!" A girl slams into me and sits next to me.

"How do you know?"

"The leaves" She snorts

She has glasses shoved up her face with a "T-rex hates pushups!" shirt.

She has blondish hair and shorts with panda socks.

"All trees have leaves."

"Really?" She says sarcastically and we both laugh and ride to school.

We enter the building and get a blast of cool air greeting us.

"By the way, whats your name?" I question.

"Gwen. Gwen Barnes."

"Got it!" I make a clicking noise and fake shoot her with finger guns.

"See ya, Riley!" She yells.

What?

I never told her my name.

And how did she know I was interested in that... what was it... maple tree.
