We all have at least one person that makes the hair on the back of our necks stand up. Wether it be because they are mean, or annoying or a combination of many other things we just don’t like them. I personally can’t stand a few people, but the one person that makes me super aggravated, I don’t ever have to see. This girl’s name is Rouie. First off her name just absolutely drives me nuts. I don’t know anyone else named Rouie, so there is no other face to put to the name than the girl that I cant stand. She's two years younger than me, but about four less mature. I didn’t used to hate her though. The first I’d ever heard of Rouie was her being the girl from the barn across the street, whose mother was a ‘bipolar monster’, but Rouie was supposedly nice. My trainer let Rouie join her training program, but I initially never saw Rouie around the barn because she would take her lessons late at night as if she didn't want to be seen.

    Since the beginning, I have gone to the same school as Leslie, and almost every year I got stuck with a teacher that she had had the previous year.  Being only eleven months younger than my sibling made the memory of Leslie, being the bright student that she is, easier for my teachers to recall.  Every September for eleven years I was greeted by all of my teachers with the same "Oh you're Leslie's little brother."  This was really no big deal.  The following year, my fifth grade teacher said to me, "Oh you're Leslie's little brother?"  This normally did not faze me since it happened to me several times before with different people, but on this occasion, it was the same person.  This upset me a little.

I began shoveling the materials from my trainwreck of a locker into my bag when a close friend of mine approached me. She began bragging about the birthday party she was planning.

By directly challenging norms, one is also empowered by centering themselves in whatever action or space is taken.

Well actually, it’s the only thing I have ever had to do but I picture it as one of the most strenuous jobs out there. My owner, Gianna Marie Gallitelli, treats me, locker number 429, horribly. I know that Gia wishes she could treat me better, but as she tells all of her friends, she just doesn’t have the time. Once a month, Gia decides to give me a big clean out so that she can actually see my back wall. Every morning Gia brings in a new water bottle and ends up putting it inside of me. Her highest record for most water bottles in one month is 19! Can you even believe that? I admit, I am a little skinny which makes it harder for binders to come out of me but if Gia kept me organized, it would be much easier! My owner tries to keep me tidy and clean but in the mix of running to classes, grabbing books, and being distracted by her friends, she can’t really keep up with it all. I try and help Gia as much as I can but I am just a locker. What more can I do? Gia seems like she doesn’t need me but she really does in order to achieve her middle school goals. As a person, Gia is great, but as a locker tender, she is a disgrace.

    I was strolling down the hallway, trying to figure out where my class would be, when I bumped into a girl. “Oh goodness! I am so sorry. I wasn 't looking," she said and bent down to grab my file and books even before I could. I sighed and replied, “No, it 's fine." I wiped the sweat, which I had accumulated from walking all over the school, off my forehead. She stood up and handed me my books. I realized she was also a freshman by her orange colored uniform. She flipped her hair and said while grinning," Let me introduce myself. I 'm Natasha. I 'm from Canada so I don 't really know much about this town. How about you?" Even though I had never met her before, I could tell she seemed nice so I introduced myself. I had to make a judgment to decide whether to befriend the girl or not. Little did I know this stranger was
