Prologue
The main thing about emotion is that when you think about it, you absorb it. And if you don’t believe me, all you have to do is feel. That’s all you have to do.
But for me, I’m different. I feel and change! I change into just about anything. Who am I, you ask.
I am Lucy Scarborough and this is my story.
Chapter 1
My story starts in the middle of Junior High School.My life was perfect. I had three best friends, a boyfriend, and a great family. I was a straight A's student that could sing and excelled at Guitar Hero too.
I could be at Harvard right at this moment, but I couldn’t split from my friends and family. I couldn’t live away from them for even ONE day. I would have a heart attack.
Anyway, my life was as normal as it could be. My friends liked the same things I liked. My boyfriend loves me. My older sister takes care of me. And my parents are crazy sometimes but I loved them anyway. My life was perfect.
I was going into science class with Becky, Leshawna, and Marsha, my best buds, while talking about our plans. We were going to see that new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie about the Chipmunks and the Chipettes on Saturday, which was tomorrow.
“And I heard that Jesse McCartney is Theodore!” Becky said, her brown-black hair glowing.
“No, way!” Marsha said.
“Way,” said Becky.
“You serious?” Leshawna asked.
“Mm-Hm!”
We got into our seats. Since my friends and I were born on the same day at the same time and our last names started with S’s, we sat together. Most of our classmates call us the S Squad. We didn’t mind it though. It was better than Same Day and Time Squad.
I sat in the desk near the door. It’s been my seat since the start of the year.
My science teacher Mrs. Barkley came in. She had golden-brown hair that always stayed short and wore a green lab coat over a blue short-sleeve shirt and blue pants. During and after science, you would never find a teacher as lively as her as she made the lesson more interesting, whatever the lesson was.
But today her green eyes were more on me than the whole class.
“Hello, class,” she said, her voice even livelier than ever.
“Good morning, Mrs. Barkley,” we all greeted her.
“Today we’re going to learn about the sciences of energy.” She held up one of those green light sticks. “Now—”
Suddenly the room spun and Mrs. Barkley’s voice was garbled. Was she trying to get into my head? I wasn’t sure. Suddenly, moments later, I was on the floor.
“Ms. Scarborough,” she sounded scared now.
I tried sitting up, but all of a sudden, my body went slack. It never did that before. I had no health problems, so why was I going slack all of a sudden?
“Could somebody carry me to the infirmary?” I mumbled.
“I’ll do it,” Marsha volunteered.
“With me,” Leshawna raised her hand.
I couldn’t have had better friends. “Thanks.”
Before I could hear anyone else, I passed out.
Chapter 2
Later, I woke up in the infirmary. It had a cot, which I was now laying on, two desks, for the nurse and aide, a sink, and a table. Just about all that your typical infirmary would need to treat injuries and illnesses.
