Hi my name is Ann, Ann Patatolie. But my friends call me Alex. And this is my story.

~~~<>~~~<>~~~<>~~~<>~~~

"Mom!?"    "Yes dear."     "Where's my flannel shirt?"   "That was yours? Oh dear, I packed it with your brothers things." My mother said this as if she didn't understand that I wore 'boys clothes'. "But it's the first day of school and I don't want to where a dress in the year book!"  "Then where a blouse!" mom said plainly.

~~~<>~~~<>~~~<>~~~<>~~~

So let me tell you about my family. There's my Grandma Sarah and Grandpa Josh and there children includes my mom, Aunt Mary, Uncle Joe, and my other Aunt Josse. I don't know about my Dad's family, he was an orphan. After that there's me my two older brothers Andrew and Cash, my younger and 'more beautiful' sister Sara and my dog Sandy. Sandy is the only one that understands me other than my gay friend Jack and other friend Jasmin.

"Honey what do you have on!" Mom said with a shocked face. I was had one of Cash's dress shirts on with a black tie. " I... couldn't... all my blouses had stains?", " odd I'll clean them. Now off to school you'll be late!" Now I didn't lie to my mom my blouses did have stains. Stains of tears but still.

~~~<>~~~<>~~~<>~~~<>~~~

" Yassss queen !" I struck a pose as and my other friend Jasmine pretend to take pictures of me with a camera. This is me and my friends thing. Have I mentioned that there the only ones that understand me? Anyway we hopped in James's car , that's my gay bff. His step-dad got it for him because he thought that he could make him "straight".

On the way to school we stop by our local coffee shop, cause I can't stay awake in class without it. I order a hot coffee with cream and 2 sugars. Jasmine has a cream frap with 3 pumps of caramel and toffee. James has a iced coffee and a macron.

We got to school with 10 minutes to spare. I had to separate from my friends to study for my chemistry test. Which just happened to have the love interest of our story. Her name is Lixx. *RING RING RING*. The 5 minute bell brought me out of my morning coffee daze. I bolted to the door to class.

On the way to my first class, math, I walk on my normal route. Room 103, 102, 101, pass the band geeks, room 99, sport nerds, and finally The Plastics. "Hi Annie!" Says the leader, Summer. She says this in reference to my Dad. " How is Daddy Warbucks!" She only knows that he's an orphan because our Dad's are friends and went to school together.

"Just fine. Now can you and your goons move so I can get to class."    "Ummm... Let me think about that....No, I don't think I will. Even if I did... What good would it do me."     "Just...let...me... through." I pushed through her crowd of three, Autumn stopped me. I don't remember the rest but I ended up walking to class with a coffee stained blue button up. "Bye Annie, maybe try to find Sandy while you're at it."  "Sandy... Here Sandy." Autumn and Winter echoed.
