Born cursed

By lilpopcorngurl

Chapter one

My name is Gwen Gillis and I have a case of bad karma. Meaning I have bad luck. Nothing EVER goes my way. Today is my first day at Mission academy. Today's clothing ware (other wise known as my uniform) consists of a navy blue skirt a white shirt, navy knee high stockings and a grey jacket. Pretty cool for a uniform if I do say so myself. I had thought before 'new school, new start.' Although I have a royally kickin' outfit, So far five things have already gone wrong and it's only first block.

Number one

I got to school early so I decided to wait outside. It happened to be fall so it was kind of windy. I never wear a skirt to school but since this is a prep school I have to. Anyways it was windy day and my skirt flew up. It was like it had a mind of it's own and I couldn't do a thing to pull it down. So everything including my knickers -as my mother would say-were showing!

Number two

After the whole skirt-flying thing had calmed down worst came to worst. A flock of seagulls were flying above. Now if you ask me what would seagulls be doing this far on the land I would tell you I have no idea. But now I have a pretty good idea why. Lets just say a couple of them dropped feces on me.

Number three

In a fit of anger I stomped off to wash the feces off me. I went to the washroom and the tap I was using was out of order and boiling hot water sprayed on me. so I was all blotchy and wet.

Number four

While I was storming back to my little bench I tripped over a tree root. The consequences of tripping over the stupid root sprained my ankle. I had to enter first period late and in crutches.

And number the five thing to go wrong; I had accidentally sat in David's (a guy in my class.) seat. He came in saw me politely asked me to move because he was in the washroom. He sat on the chair and ended up with a big wet spot on his rear.

I the girl who I was known as the crazy new girl, The girl who had an ankle the size of grapefruit, the girl who was covered in water and bird feces, The girl who was all blotchy and red. On top of that I was late for my second class, due to me getting lost and not knowing where to go. And at this school when you are late the teachers tend to throw their bad jokes at your misfortunes.

At lunchtime I sat by myself, another bird dropped its feces on me. No one wanted to talk to me for fear of bird droppings. After lunch I really had to go to the washroom. There was water on the floor. I, being the blithering idiot that I am step in it. Then I coincidentally step on toilet paper, and voila the recipe for toilet paper on shoe! I walked through the hallways with it on my shoe. I knew it was there but I didn't care. To end my already perfect day I dropped my binder emptying everything from it.

I started walking home, pondering why was this always happening to me. I'm a good person I have never done anything wrong in my life. This isn't fair. I heard a window open from the apartment beside me. Suddenly garbage came flying down on top of me. So here I was on crutches, toilet paper still on shoe covered in garbage, topped off with feces of bird.

And this is a typical day for me, Gwenyth Gillis.
