Most kids find middle school magical and perfect. My name is Atalanta ,but everyone who is a living organism would make fun of my name so I go by Emma now. The morning was already bitter ,but to be fair I lived in New York. I was late and the class I needed to just had to have an somewhat important test. The halls were crowded with sweaty eight graders and my shoes were untied. I saw not far ahead a nice hanging sign that said "Mr.Sweedy". Since I already mentioned the fact that my shoes were untied you could see what happened next.
John Dumas , the kid who's goal in life is to make mine hard. He stepped on my shoelace and I went crashing down into the hard tile floor. Blood came gushing out my nose. He kicked my body into the wall ,the blood dripping onto the peral white tiles."Don't bother getting up when you know it's impossible."he shouted into my ear.
All I could feel was pain.After a few more punches and kicks he left. I guess homeroom wasn't done yet but it felt like hours lying there. I finally managed the strength to go to my next class after I washed the blood off my face. Then Mr.Sweedy ran out his class yelling at me ,"I HAVE NEVER I MY LIFE HAD SUCH AN INCOMPETENT STUDENT!" A few girls in the doorframe started laughing at me. Then everyone else was too. I had never liked school like most kids but, once I would die to go to school. It was at this boarding school I made my first and last friends there. Their names were Bianca and Nico. They were siblings, the good kind. Bianca was a year older than me and Nico two years younger. Nico and I played our favorite game, Myth-O-Magic all the time. It was a game about the Greek gods. I always beat him at it. But one day, I got in trouble not the failing ELA kind. Some kids were bullying Bianca and Nico so, I stepped in and protected them ,violence which got me expelled. Now, the foster system put me with a horrible family.
But today, I was going to esape.
Ms.Brown the principal was smiling heavily, that was abnormal. The students call her the "Queen of Torture" when she wasn't looking.
"How are ypu today Atalanta?" Fear ran down my body how does she know my real name? She gasped."I have to take a problem real quick." Now that she's gone now is my chance to escape this terrible place. My eyes dart to the open window. Perfect. A creaking noise comes from behind me. I hear Ms.Brown's voice but kinda disoriented."Naughty girl." She is no longer human, she has the body of a serpent, a lion,and a goat weirdly mixed together. I take the chance as she lunges to jump out the window . This officially the worst day of school.
