Sarah Hoffman. the most popular girl in school. she controls everyone, and everything. me on the other hand…. there is one word to describe me, awkward. I am awkward. Sarah decided a long time ago that i was not worth her time. she has all of her little minions pester and annoy me, they call me fat and lard ass and when i walk into class everyone pretends there is an earthquake. life for me is hell.

today is my last day of sophomore year and i am just so happy i made it. i walk into school with my head down. everyone is dressed up and hugging each other, even the people that arn't friends. i walk to my locker put my lunch inside and walk to first period.

Sarah and her loyal band of followers are all standing around Sarah's boyfriend Trent Stevens. Trent is the hottest guy in our school, and he is just as self centered as Sarah. At least that is what i hear. Trent is not allowed to talk to me. According to Sarah i am to much of a lowlife. when i sit down everything gets quiet and Sarah just stares at me, like i have 'BITCH'  written on my forehead. i just look down, trying to avoid as much harassment as i can. The bell rings and everyone sits down by their friends, and i sit alone.

"Katie Arley?" the teacher says my name as if its the first day of school. "here" i whisper.

*cough* "fat ass" *cough* i hear from Sarah's corner. "That's enough now class." says Mr.Blake.

Finally after math is over i practically run to study hall. As I'm walking in i trip over something on the floor but when i fall someone kicks me in the stomach, i feel sharp pains all over and someone hitting me. the last thing i remember is someone throwing a large geometry book on top of my face. 

i can only open my right eye when i wake up. i quickly realize where i am, the hospital. no one is in the room and its quiet. i try to get out of the bed but i can't move my legs. 

"Is anybody here? Hello? I can't move... if anyone wants to help me... HELLO?" I practically screamed but no one answers. i check the clock and its one in the morning, now everything makes sense. my mom left some magazines on the bed, so i look through one. as i turn the last page on the 17 magazine cover, something catches my eye.
