I'm in class, waiting for the bell to ring as I drum my fingers on the desk.

"Miss Whitmore!" said my math teacher, jolting me back to class. "I know you can't wait to get out of here and do whatever it is you teens do these days, "she said, trying to hide her anger " but can you please pay attention to the task at hand?"

I smile apologetically and focus on the board. Numbers upon numbers, with a few signs thrown here and there. God, I hate math. I hate everything that has to do with it.

Then he divorced my mom and she got custody of my sister and me. Mom decided it was best to move to Whitechapel, London. I think it was because she was fascinated with Jack the Ripper. I get home, take a shower and eat. Thirty minutes later, I'm walking to the garage sale. When I get there, I look around for stuff I might find interesting. I find

As soon as I ran into my room, I could sense that something was out of place. I thought it was my homework or that I did not feed my pet fish Arnold, but whenever I thought of my pet fish I thought of my pet dog Rocky.
