People always start by saying she was your average teenage girl/boy but Maine didn't like that phrase - as everyone is different no one is the same. 

So how can you even calculate an average of a thing that is ever changing, ever progressing, a thing that never settles in one place.

Even age is ever changing by the year, by the month, by the week, by the day, by the hour, by the minute, by the second. It never stands still EVER. 

So Maine refuses to settle to be your average 18 year old girl from England. And that's what people hate about her. She doesn't fit properly in any category at school, her friendship group are large and far between. And those who hate her like average, they like being above average, they like to rule those below them. But how can you rule an anomaly? 

You can't. So like in maths ('math' for you Americans) you get rid of the anomaly, but Maine is stubborn and refuses to be isolated and pushed aside for not fitting but for fitting into everything. 

And she loves being the anomaly.
