Chapter One
It was a typical Tuesday at Standford High School in Whittville,North Carolina.Me, Amanda Lanter was an invisible nobody.I wasn't very popluar so nobody was talking to me.I was waiting in the library in front of the school.I didnt have any friends and the friends that I do have arent here.They all have 'things to do in the morning'.
Suddenly I heard the bell for class start.
And it begins...
I headed to my first class, Mr Henry's Algebra III class. I was a very good student. I had straight A's. But, my favorite subject it Langauge Arts.
I came in and sat down beside SHS's head cheerleader- Nancy Woodland.She absolutely HATED me and I really don't know why.It may be because I was invisible and I was also friends with SHS's basketball hottie-Nohlan (Joey)Jacobs.
I really don't know what's to hate about me. I wear baggy clothes .I had long brown hair with brown eyes to match.I had a slight pluge on my stomach and Joey said that I'm just 'curvy'.I was also the laughing stock of everyone since fifth grade.I am fat but defintely not HUGE. I was thick in the chest and hips area and also in the stomach and I had only five friends: Mara, Kenya, Adrian, Melisa and of course Joey.But he on the other hand had the whole school as friends.Joey has brown hair and sixed packed abs and biceps of a thirty year old man.And as for sports he was the captial of the basketball team and summer vollyball.
Yeah me ,the fat-nerd-girl was best friends with him.We've been friends since second grade.At first I had the slightest crush on him but all those feelings left once we hit High school because I ran across Adam, my new boyfriend.

"What are you looking at hairball?"She smiled sweetly at me.
An evil desprate witch.
I'd had learned over the years that saying anything back got you deep doo-doo.She always had people on her side to back her up , but me? I had nobody.She would always find the perfect time to bother me when I wasn't around my friends.
"Settle down class" Mr.Henry announced
He began to lecture my class about our test scores. He went on and on about how he prepared us too good for us to unanimously fail. He called each one of us to see our grades, but when he called out the names, he didn't call me. I wonder what was the problem? I guess he seen my expression, because he just held up his finger and smiled .
This can't be good for me...
After he finished calling out the names he did something that made me want to gag.
"Will you come to the front of the room Ms.Lanter?" he asked politely.
Me...? No no no no no ! No, there has to be another 'Ms.Lanter' here! Eveybody just shifted in there seats and I could hear Nacy and her other cheerleaders giggling about how ugly I was.
I felt the heat rise in my face as I walked towards the front of the room and faced him. God, I don't want to do this...He turned me so I was facing the class.All of them were looking at me up and down in discust.I had on over-sized jeans,and over-sized cardigan and an soft pink shirt that was also over sized.
"Mr.Lanter here is the only one in the whole time I've been teaching made a perfect score on this test. Please give Ms.Lanter a round of applause." he started clapping and he was the only one clapping .
If possible my checks turned a darker shade of red.
When the room fell quiet and I quickly went to the back of the room and tried covering up my blush with my reading glasses and my hair.
