   "John, wake up! Mom said you are going to be late at school!," my little brother, Nathan, shouted while pushing me out of my bed. I fell off the bed and hit my arm on the floor. It really hurts.

   I went to the bathroom to take a bath. After that, I wore my uniform, and went to the kitchen to eat my breakfast, pancakes and cereal. These are usually my breakfast.

   "Beep-beep!," the school bus driver called out. I quickly ate my breakfast. I kissed my mom on her cheek and told her goodbye, and went to the school bus.

   By the time I came in the school bus, I searched for people I know to seat with. Unfortunately, I do not know a single person. I sat at the seat at the most back part of the school bus, away form the other students. The cold air coming out of the air conditioner made me shiver. I have my ugly sweater in my bag but I do not want to wear it. The last time I wore it in school, almost everybody laughed at me. I always ask my mom to let me buy  a new jacket but she would not allow me. Every time I ask her, she keeps on telling me that it is just a waste of money. I just keep the sweater inside my bag, and only wear it if it is really cold. I wore it because I have no choice. I do not want to die because of the cold.

   Finally, we arrived at the school. I immediately removed my sweater, and kept it inside my bag. I do not want to be seen by people wearing my ugly sweater.

   As I walk through the hallway, I noticed that someone is following me. I looked back, and I saw a girl. Her hair is so blonde, it is almost white. Her hair is covering her whole face. I started to get nervous. We stared at each other for a few seconds. Suddenly, the wind blew her hair off her face. I was so shocked when I saw her face. It is Rebecca Maxwell. I ran as fast as I can. Once I saw the classroom, I locked myself in. There is nobody in the room except me and Samantha Lockwood. I felt so relieved when I saw her. It is so strange because usullay, every time I come inside our classroom, there are many people but now, it is just the two of us. I greeted her but she did not respond. I was about to grab her shoulder but at the moment I was trying to reach for it, she faced at me. My heartbeat suddenly stopped. I cannot move or shout. I was so terrified for what I saw. It is Rebecca.
