The Flame and The Leaf

Chapter 1 Becca's Story

    "Ring Ring!" Just five more minutes! Then I remembered it was the big math test today! Yes! No one not even Caroline can ruin today! I raced to the kitchen and ate a apple then went out the door until..... "Becca honey say goodbye to me before you leave!" I came over and hugged my mom. "bye mom"

      I put my helmet on and hopped on my bike "I'm gonna ace this test!" Then I rode my bike to school. When I got there I suddenly saw Caroline and her group of friends walking down the hallway along side her and her friends was people trying to get autographs or selfies with her.

      Its like she was famous or something this is high school not the red carpet! Oh no she's coming this way! Gotta hide gotta hide but, it was to late she was standing right it front of me. " Oh well isn't it little Becca what's wrong scared you'll run out of makeup? Oh wait you don't wear makeup no wonder your face is like this." All of her friends started laughing.

       "Leave me alone." "Oh your finally talking I thought you didn't know how to speak!" Her friends laughed again " I've got better matters to attend to bye hun! Then she walked away rocking her cotton candy pink skirt. I felt so hurt how could she say things like that.

         I started singing Taylor Swift songs in my head to stop myself from crying but, it didn't work It just made me cry more. I ran into the bathroom and I felt like I was crying a river. Why cant she be more nice,sweet, and smart cause really her I.Q is really low. I better get to class before the bell rings then I wiped off my face with a paper towel and headed to class. I got to class on time, did my test, and read a book in 1 hour! Then the test was over and I went to my next class.

          Then at lunch I got the best thing ever coconut cream pie. Yum! Then all of a sudden I tripped and my face landed right in the coconut cream pie!!! Then Caroline came over. " Wow Becca I didn't know you were a total cluts! "Stop that!" " I would but I cant!" Then Ryan the school quarterback walk towards me and handed me a napkin. "Here you have pie on your face." Thank you" " Ryan don't go near her! Your my boyfriend not hers not Katy perry but me!!!" " Calm down Caroline your face looks like a tomato." I'm calm!!!! "Girls follow me I'm crossing this cafeteria off my list!

           At that moment I felt amazing!!!!! I finally defeated Caroline!!!! I can do so much more!!! I can do everything!!! Well not everything but I can do more now!! That day I went home proud. When I got home all I did was smile and before I knew it was 8:30 a perfect time to go to bed!

           I went upstairs with my bunny slippers on my feet and still a smile on my face! It was perfect. The only thing is I couldn't sleep. The wind was blowing and the trees were swaying I just couldn't fall asleep! Then suddenly a small little leaf floated into my room. It was like any other leaf but it was glowing.

           I just had to keep it but it started blowing away from me. "Please don't go!" I started chasing after it. I ended up in the woods alone chasing a leaf until the leaf stopped and started glowing brighter. Then I see someone I couldn't tell who it was. Then I knew who it was....... Caroline???
