The Ordinary

The Ordinary

By Sarah

Chapter one

Everyone is special in their own way. At least that’s what every adult who has ever walked on this planet says. For example, my friend George he can eat 12 waffles and still not be full. And my friend Rosa, she can get away with anything. She could get away with murder and as far as anyone would know she is still an ‘innocent little angel’. But trust me, she’s not. Me, well I can’t do stuff like that. Let alone do stuff like that, my NAME can’t be like that! Rosa, she’s named after Rosa Parks. You know, the woman who refused to sit on the back of the bus? Yeah, well that makes her special. And George, he’s named after King George the 3^rd. I know people didn’t really like him but at least he was someone!! My name is just plain old Pat. Now that isn’t short for Patrick (although that’s what everyone thinks) it’s just Pat. Now if I was Patrick that would be good because I would be named after a holiday. But no, my mom had to make me a loser and name me Pat. Thanks a lot mom!  I’m no one! Really, they’re both so lucky compared to me. I’m nobody. Literally, George and Rosa are my only friends, and I’m so lucky to have them! I’ll walk down the hall and people will run into me like I’m not there. I just wish that I could be SOMEONE!

          Today was the worst in a long time. I was at 2^nd period and it was math (my best subject) and someone literally sat on me. Now you would think they would get right up, but no. They stayed there for 3 minutes until I could catch enough breath to say something. “Get off me you big creep!! How could you not see me?!”

“Sorry dude,” he said.

“Yeah sure, that’s what they all say.” I said under my breath.

Chapter two

          I got George and Rosa over to tell them what happened. They told me it’s no big deal. That’s the only bad thing about them, they don’t make a deal about anything and that’s what they know I want!! I get no attention at all (obviously) “Come on guys! Has anyone ever sat on you, it’s painful!!”

“No dude, but think of it this way, no one has ever been sat on for 3 whole minutes! That makes YOU special!!”

“Well duh,” I said. “But do you really think I want to be known for being sat on by a kid!!” They said some more stuff but I ignored them just because I don’t need to hear that, I was also daydreaming.

5 years later…….

So I’m in 11^th grade now and I finally got noticed!! Well it’s a bit of a story so make sure you have the time, you won’t want to miss this…..

Chapter Three

So I was just walking down the hall in my regular jeans and hoodie listing to music and then out of nowhere there was a hurricane warning and since I moved here from Florida I know just what to do! So while everyone is freaking out I just do what I’m supposed to do and without even saying anything people just do what I do! When we get up about two hours later everyone is calling me a hero!! YAY
