The Wish.

Ugly Duckling.

My name Is Trudy Manhatten and im 15 years old.

I am officially the ugliest person in Ranch Lane High School!

It was a Tuesday and Brittany, Tiffany and their leader, Rochelle, also known as 'the popular chicks', were waiting for me...
As usual.

I swivelled round the corner and met my only friends, Melanie and Rachael.

They were the only ones that were nice to me in school, only because they felt sorry for me, but we became good friends after that.

I have a crush and his name is Kane, he is the hottest guy at school, he has blonde hair always neatly in a quiff and bright blue eyes that I always get lost in.

He is 16 and the cutest guy I have ever laid eyes upon, he is charming, cute and he loves animals just like me.

The looks differ though I would never be able to go out with him, plus he has a girlfriend, Rochelle.

Anyway, so they were still waiting for me and I needed to get to class, I have a policy, you can mess with Trudy as long as you don't get in the way of her perfect attendance record.

I finally got to class, with bruises and words I can not describe in my head.

It was maths with Mrs Periwinkle. Yay!

Mrs Periwinkle is the closest thing I have to family,

My mother left when I was young and my father disappeared after starting on drugs.

"Right children, today we are doing trigonometry. Oh and Trudy I need a word with you" said Mrs Periwinkle.

"Yes Mrs Periwinkle" I replied.

Silence swooped around the classroom, when 'the popular chicks' started giggling.

I got up and went over to Mrs Periwinkle, I knew what they were giggling about because everyone started kicking me when I walked to the front, they had stuck a 'kick me' sign on my back.

I ripped it off and gave them a devilish glare, they just looked back at me, smirking.

Mrs Periwinkle was nice but sometimes when she whispered, it wasn't a whisper, it was more like a shout.

"Trudy dear, I have your ointment for your infected spots."

Ohh gosh!!

Now that was embarrasing!

Everyone starting laughing uncontrollably, when... Rochelle stood up and spoke loudly "Miss, Trudy took my money and Tiffany's keys and Brittany's phone."

"Did you Trudy?" Enquired Mrs Periwinkle.

"No, I wouldn't" cried Trudy.

"She did" giggled Rochelle.

"Trudy, double detention, tonight, 3:00-5:00", said mrs Periwinkle as she shook her head in dismissal.
