The Miserable Life of Asper Rain

Asper Willow Rain, daughter of Luke and Shannon Rain, deceased.
Adopted by Mark and Jane Miller in 2002.
Birth date 17th April, 1997.
Location Phoenix, Arizona.
Present status stable, slightly depressed. Dreading the start of the school year, which is tomorrow. All in all, normal.

A usual person would have said 'perfectly normal', but Asper's life, while miserable and depressing and normal, yes, was far from perfect. Any life involving school, socializing, and aimless talk is imperfect, in her perspective. But then again, what can you say? Compared with the other kids in the orphanage she was adopted from eleven years ago, she was immeasurably lucky.

Sigh. Oh well, as long as she sticks to being invisible, like she had for the past few years, Asper would most probably be safely out of the line of high-school fire. Or so she hoped.

This is the slightly depressing, and very ironic, account of the unfortunate series of events that happened during Asper Willow Rain's sophomore year.
