• Chapter One
    Christine was a teenage girl who lived at Unicorn. She was very used to seeing everyone that lived there and going to school with a lot more children than she expected.
    Her mum was getting married to a young man called Daniel, she had divorced David, and Christine didn’t like him one bit.
    He always annoyed her while her mum wasn’t looking. He made her clean up while he was watching the football, and when she went to put some in the rubbish bin, he threw a load of sweet wrappers up in the air and they landed all over the room.
    So that was why she was moving to Summer Field.
    She was going t miss her mum, but defiantly not Daniel.
    “Say good bye to Danny, dear.” said her mum when she was going to get in her car.
    “Good bye, Danny.” She said, scowling.
    Before he could say anything, she hopped into her car.

    It was night and was pouring down with rain.
    When am I going to get to Summer Field? She thought to herself. I can’t wait to see David.
    David was a kind man, but would probably be upset when he saw her because it might remind him of her mother.
    She usually called him “Dave” but today called him “David”.
    She hadn’t seen him for eight years now, and was ready to see him again.

    “Hi!” she called as he opened the gate for her.
    “Hi, how are you?” he asked. “I haven’t seen you for ages; you’re so tall, now.”
    “Dad, it’s been eight years, of course I’ve grown.” She said with a laugh.
    “Come inside then. I’ve made dinner and you can unpack upstairs in your new room. I hope you like everything I put in there; I wanted to give you a few gifts. You will go to your new school tomorrow; do you want me to drive you there or will you drive yourself?”
    “Oh, I’ll drive myself, dad.” she said.
    And she ran upstairs and pushed the door open.


    Chapter Two

    “Wow!” she gasped as she gazed into her new room. “I love the carpet. And the books! I LOVE books.”
    She jumped onto her bed.
    David is the best dad EVER! She thought. I love what he’s given me, and I don’t know how to thank him!
    And she lay down on her bed and went to sleep.

    That morning, she woke up and ran downstairs.
    “Slow down, you’re not going to be late.” said David, but she didn’t slow down at all.
    “Bye dad!” she cried.
    “Bye! Have fun!” he replied.
    She ran outside and jumped into my car.

    She got to school and everyone was staring at me. I blushed, and looked down at my feet.
    “Hey!” said someone behind me.
    She spun round and saw a cute boy coming towards her.
    “Hi, I’m Eric. How are you?”
    “Hi, I’m fine thank you. My name’s Christine.”
    “Well, hi Christine.” he said.
    He was no good at talking to girls.
    “What’s your next lesson, Eric?” Christine asked.
    “Um, art.” he replied.
    “Oh,” said Christine, “I’m doing science next.”
    “Really? I do that after art. Shame. I will not be able to see you for art or science.” He muttered.

    Christine walked into science.
    Everyone was staring at her, even Mr. Banner.
    “Hello, you can sit over there, next to Edward, and we can start class. Go on.” said Mr. Banner, talking really fast.
    “Um...” Christine started, then Mr. Banner pointed to a boy-Edward-and she went to sit next to him.
    “Hi.” she said.
    “Hi.” he said, not even looking up at her.
    I don’t have a single idea how I’m going to fit in at this school. I have long, brown hair, all the other girls have long, blond hair. I wear all this plain stuff, they wear posh stuff. Oh, and they all have modern cars, and I have my dads old car.
    She sat through the whole of science thinking about this, then it was lunch, and she got up from her chair and walked out the door.
