Common people." I said and my mother stared at me in amazement. "I love you Fetty. You are so smart. Sometimes, I feel I don't deserve such a sensible child. " she said.

Some people even argued, that her intelligent and supportive nature even, made her far more superior, to the other two queens, since she was also very beautiful.

The woman smiled in amusement, "So you're Spanish?" "Brazilian actually." "What's your favorite book?" "Uh... I don't really have a favorite... if I like I book, I like it."

"To Kill A Mockingbird," he spoke flatly. Mrs. Bedivere nodded her head, "Maycomb county had recently been told that-"

"Should I continue?" "Of course! I am listening to everything you have to say about authors. I want you to mention more authors you have inside that brain of yours.

Sasha was hesitating to enter pass the school gate. It seems like she's going to be more in trouble today than usual. I'm not tough but here I go, she thought and walk inside. Opening her locker to get some books, a few folded paper fell. She knows what those papers are; warnings from her bullies. Although she knows what's written inside, she would always read them.
