From the beginning, I've had bad luck. In 6th grade I was convinced I was cursed. Matter of fact since kindergarten! From my earliest memory i could remember my first encounter with bad luck. It was kindergarten, Miss Gardner class, arts and crafts. I was painting a hand turkey, I know the most common art I didn't know what else to make! It wasn't even Thanksgiving. But I'm in class trying to make my painting as perfect as I can. And I ran out of brown paint. So I get up and go get more, that's when I approached my doom. Stupid little Gerald Walker sticks his foot out causing me to slam face first into a plate of paint! Can you saying embarrassing?! Of course 5 year old me cried her way home! Let's jump to age 10. It was my birthday! My mom had decided to let me have a roller skating party. Of course the idea sounded fun (at the time). We get to the skating rink everything is perfect. The balloons my friends and family. It was wonderful, until once again I encountered soon. As I was skating with my friends Lisbeth and Miranda, I get distracted by this really handsome boy and roller skate right into the partition. Once again! Super embarrassing! 15 years old and my luck surprisingly wasn't by a boy. It was a girl. Actually it was the whole school year. Donna Martinez. She was such a witch, my whole four years of high school was torture because of her. Freshman year, I had a mean girl moment. It was a new school. Lisbeth moved to North Dakota and Miranda went to boarding school. I was alone I wanted to make friends so I approached Donna. She seemed cool! So I thought! Lunch period I go sit with her and her friends. They totally ignored me and pushed me off the bench, causing me to sit in gum. Sophomore year, Donna actually be nice to me and invite me to her sleepover. She pranked me. I shampooed my hair and it turned blue. I had blue hair for a week. I almost got suspended. Junior year, Donna found out I had a crush on this boy named Dean! Ughhh Dean Lombardi! He was and still is so dreamy! Anyways stupid Donna totally EMBRASSED me in front of Dean. It was the end of the school year and she invited me to her pool party. I wasn't gonna go but my friends convinced me to go! (Oh yea by this time I had new friends...I'll talk about them later.) I went to the pool party and guess what! I SHOULDN'T HAVE WENT! Donna told her pool wasn't cleaned! When I got there everybody was in they're swimsuits. So was Dean! Here I was with just my regular clothes and no swimsuits. So me being me I confronted Donna saying she sabotaged me! Which she did! But she didn't like that and pushed me in the pool, right in front of Dean! Worse day ever. And then there was Senior year! Graduation day! Supposed to be the best day of my life, it was but it wasn't at the same time. The wasn't so good part was because Donna told one of her minions to once again torment me. High school was bad luck only cause of Donna so that was my bad luck. But here I am 20 year old part time journalist, still with bad luck. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it!
