On days such as this I wonder why my ass got out of bed.  Then again, none of my days seem simple anymore.  At one time I had been the most popular in my school, now I am the reject due to how the government handled this delicate situation.  I guess that is not here nor there but either way, the events that took place changed my life, along with the rest of my family.  

Maybe I should start a bit from the beginning.  My name is Janice Lorine or as I'm being called now, Mary Alice Gordon.  As you may have guessed from my name, my parents, in their youth, had been the rebellious druggies looking for the thrill and wherever the music took them.  I wish they were that cool now.  Now my mother is imprisoned and my father...well...I'm getting there.  You see, back in my hometown, I had been one of the popular and desireable girls in my high school.  Sure, I had a loser brother and a baby sister, but that was covered up by fans well enough.  Being beautiful, a cheerleader, and president of the student council gave me my own personal office that took care of such annoying facts.  

But, that changed as soon as Dad came clean and told the cops about my mother's affair with a local drug lord.  That was another fact that I tried keeping from my fans but no, my dad had to make it public.  Of course, divorce ensued, along with a mark on my father's head when he found out my mother was involved in a bit more he intended to find out.  Either way, that is how I ended up here.  The middle of nowhere, in the godforsaken cornfields, with a name that is so out of date that I want to cry.  No one even recognizes me here for who I really am!  Just because they felt Dad needed to be in protective custody, with a changed identity, didn't mean they needed to drag the rest of us along.  I mean, come on, I'm a senior in high school!!  They even wanted me to dye my beautiful blond curls but they were dreaming.  

So here I am, in this boring school, an outcast, and trying to figure out how I"m ever going to fix my shambled life.  At least Cody is in the same school with me.  Yet, I can't help but have this constant feeling that I'm being watched.  Cody feels the same way but he is also one of those dweebs who thinks Aliens, UFOs, and Were creatures exist.  Oh yeah, and dragons.  Can't forget those.  Now you can easily see why I disown him.

"Ms Gordon, can you come to the board and answer this problem please," I heard Ms. Richard snap, forcing me to roll my eyes.  This place was so passee.  I just almost wish something would happen here.  At least I only had ten more minutes of math class and then I was free for the rest of the day.
