A Not-So-Normal Normal Life

This is Willow. She’s a normal girl with brown hair, she likes sage green, and she lives in Skyview. Normal life, right? Not really, you see, her mom is a singer, and well, she has not told her fans that she has a daughter. But tomorrow is an exciting day for Willow because . . . she is going to high school tomorrow! The next day, she woke up and put on her favorite cherry blossom dress and backpack that has her name on it. She eats breakfast and walks out the door walking to school.

A few minutes later, she gets to school, opens her locker, and puts her backpack in, and then she closes the locker and walks to her class. After a few minutes, a girl comes into the room, dressed in a lot of neon colors, like blue, green, pink and yellow. She sits next to Willow and says, “Hi, my name is Luna!”

Willow says, “Hi” back and says her name too. Then, they start talking.

After class, they bump into a girl, they apologize, and they start walking away. The girl says, “Wait!” She asked if she could become their friend. They said yes and told her their names. She says her name is Yuri, and they head to their classes. During lunch, they talk about the people at their school, like who you should not mess with, like the “mean girls” and others. They head to their classes once lunch is over. Luckily, Yuri is in Willow’s gym class. While they are changing, the mean girls BUST through the door and make an entry pose like some movie stars. Willow accidentally says, “Was that necessary?”

The mean girls’ faces turn red and walk up to Yuri and Willow and say, “This is your first warning only because you’re new.”

While everyone stays quiet, Yuri pulls Willow aside and says, “Let me tell you about them. No one messes around with them. You see the girl in the middle, Sofia, with brown hair and who wears a lot of pink. Her parents have the biggest jewelry store and get lots of money, and her father is the principal of this school. The girl with blond hair, Brittany. Do you see her phone? Her parents founded that phone brand. And last but not least, Shayna, her parents are this place’s biggest lawyers.” The bell rings, and

they head to their last class.

When she comes home from school, she finds her mother stressed out and panicked. “Mom, what’s going on?” she asks.

Her mom asks if Willow remembers Laura. Willow says, “Yes, why?”

“Well, she is always trying to compete with me and thinks we are enemies. During my yoga class, she stole my phone, found my contacts, and called my boss saying I want to quit. Now, I don’t have a job!”

“It’s OK,” Willow says.”You can do something else, something you like.”

So, her mom decided, “You know what, I think that’s a great idea. I will become a fashion designer.”

Months go by, and here, I will catch you up on what is happening. Willow’s mom became a fashion designer and is the number one of the top fashion designers. Willow shows her friends to her mom, and they are really big fans of Willow’s mom. The mean girls find out about Willow’s mom and are jealous and that’s it. Willows returns back to school when she walks into the door, the mean girls apologize, and they become friends. In the afternoon Yuri, Willow, Luna, and the other three go off walking into the sunset living life to the fullest.

THE END!
