Why can't I just be normal. People look at me like I'm just came from Mars. I don't say anything most of the time. Well all of the time. There I go, rambling on about my problems, before introducing myself. So with out furtha a do, I'm Charlotte. Charlotte Grace Jones. My two best friends are Conor Lewis and Margo Edwards. We are all 16, me being the youngest and Conor being the oldest. We have been friends for as long as I remember.

"Will you get your butt up already" my annoying twin brother yelled. "Get out my face" I kicked his nose, sending him down the stairs. There us advantages of having my room in front of the stairs. He came running up the stairs ready to ponce on me. This was a normal routine, I hurt him, he comes to get revenge by hitting me. He hurts me, I beat the mess out if him. My mom has grown to get used to this. Our dad only laughs at how we play.

My dad is clueless like always. But that's basically why we love him. "Open the door!" he yelled banging against the door. I locked at and quickly got dressed. He was still banging this could last for a while. I jumped open the door, pushed him down the stairs, and ran like there like there's was no tomorrow. "Please stop pushing your brother Down the steps, he might get a concussion" my mother pleaded. I nodded while getting me a bowl of cereal, just as I poured the milk, Ethan, my twin brother, punched me in the stomach and ran.

"What ever you little brat! Just look out in school, I might ambush you!" I yelled. My stomach was turning and twisting from the previous event. My baby brother walked down the stairs, looking like a little man. "Aww. How's my little man" I fixed his button down shirt collar and smiled. "Jason you look so handsome" he was my favorite in the whole house.

"Thank you" he whispered. Jason is only 4 years old, the youngest in the house. My little sister Desiree came jumping down the stairs in a blue dress. She is 7 and has blond hair, blue eyes, and millions of freckles. Jason also has blond hair but he has hazel eyes. Me and my, sorry excuse of a brother, are brunette's with blue eyes, we both have a lot of freckles like everyone else. My mom has brown hair and my dad has blond.

Mom has blue eyes and dad has hazel. So there's my information on my family. "Come on little ducks, it's time for school" I took both of there little hands and walked outside, not giving a damn of where Ethan is. "I'll take Desiree to school" he muttered grabbing her hand.

"Don't be so forceful" I said hugging her. "If she comes home complaining, I will personally murder you in your sleep" I said picking up Jason and walking away. "Bye buddy have a good day" I kiss Jason's cheek and walk away.

SCHOOL

"Hey I missed you so much!!" my two best friends, Conor and Margo hug me. "Conor care to tell what you did this mourning" Margo taps her foot and smiles. He rolls his eyes, pulling out a detention form. "Conor!!" I yelled. I took his detention form to see what he did.

Conor Lewis has gotten this detention for slapping a young man in the face. Level 3. Detention shall be served the day given!

Conor Lewis must return this slip at 3:00

I looked at him with furious eyes. Sure he was my best friend, but seriously I'm pissed off with him. Last year he said he wasn't gong to get in trouble, I beg the differ Conor. I thought sarcastically. We walked to our first class which was math. "Charlotte you need to show people your art and how you sing. You are amazing" Margo chirped while Conor nodded.

"I heard amazing so here I am" Austin, the hottest kid in our grade ( or school really) popped up out if no where. I'm socially awkward so I just watched it see who would talk next. "Bye Austin" Margo was like the only one in school who doesn't like him. He looked at me for a while, "W-what?" I chocked out. He smiled, "Just looking at something pretty" I turned around but nobody was there. He laughed, "You know your-"

"Hey baby" Rebecca, the popular chick came around and sat on his lap. This became awkward so I turned around to leave, "Wait Charlotte!" Austin called my name. My mind told me to keep going but I turned anyway, Austin stood up, causing Rebecca to fall. I chuckled lightly but made a grave mistake. "Who are you laughing at book girl. Your so socially awkward I didn't even know you can laugh. But now that I do, don't you ever laugh at me again or you'll be sorry" she was all up on my face.

The whole class was watching. Even the teacher. The damn teacher was watching like this was a case of C.S.I. My friends were mouthing, 'say something back. Say something back. Don't be scared' I nodded and gulped.

"Well maybe if you don't do anything, I won't laugh" I looked at her shoes that were surprisingly attractive. As if things couldn't get worse, she slapped me. Point, blank, period. She slapped me. I ran out the room, tears staining my face. This is why I'm socially awkward, this is why I have two friends, this is why I hide my dream, this is why.

Margo was banging the stall I was currently crying in . "Open up. Open up. Are you ok!?" I huffed and stood up. "Ok fine" she gasped when she saw my face. There on my cheek was a big, red, hand print. We left the bathroom as quick as possible, hoping to avoid Conor because he would flip. "Do you want to see a nurse?" Margo asked, I shook my head fiercely.

"Are you ok?" I spun on my heel to meet the brown eyes of Austin. I looked around nervously then nodded. "Can I see it?" he stepped closer, me backing up into a wall. He took my hand away and moved it to see the mark. "I'm going to kill her" he muttered. I was still in a faze, Austin just touched me. Austin just touched my hand. Why does he care about me. I'm socially awkward, like Rebecca said I was.

"P-please don't worry about it. I'm fine" I lied my face feels like bees ambushed me.

"No it's not. I know your lying. And I'm going to help you weather you like it or not" he smiled and pulled me to the class. I snatched my arm back, feeling the social awkwardness. "Come on" he ran ahead while I walked like the low life I am. Ethan ran into me and was in all a panic. "Are you ok?" he asked scanning me all over.

"Yea why do you care?" I was lost in thought so I wasn't paying attention to who was talking to me. "Oh sorry, yea I'm good bro" he dragged me to class even though I didn't want to go in. "Not ready " I pleaded, but because of his stubbornness he dragged me in. "The social freak is back everyone" Rebecca yelled, and only one person laughed. She looked at me and Ethan, "how can she be related to a cutie" she winked at him. I huffed, "Seriously you find him cute?" The whole class laughed, but Ethan jabbed my stomach. "Ouch" I whined. Hmm maybe I'm not socially awkward, Rebecca walk up to me, causing me to flinch. "Whatcha back" with that she left the room.
