[SIZE=14pt]Chapter One[/SIZE]
Flying across the beautiful blue sky with just the right amount of clouds felt great to Catherine. Smiling she couldn’t find a single word to say to the love of her life, Seth Brown, who was next to her, holding he hand to keep from falling. “Wow this is amazing!!” He exclaimed “I have something to tell you and if I am gonna tell you any time soon, it would be now. I- I have always had a crush on you. Ever since 3rd grade when you walked through that door.” Dumbstruck, she looked at him. He was getting closer and closer, and she could see deeper and deeper into his beautiful light brown eyes. He was so close. “CATHERINE!!!”

Catherine jumped in her seat as her teacher, Mrs. Witherspoon, hit her yard long ruler on her desk. “Get your head out of clouds! We don’t need anymore daydreamers! I catch you daydreaming one more time, and I will have to move you up front, in the middle.” Catherine had been staring out into the sky, daydreaming in class again. Embarrassed, she bit her lip and pulled her left pigtail. Reluctantly, she peered over to Seth, three desks away. He was obviously not noticing, to busy paying attention to his work. That was just like him. He always was paying attention and doing his work. He was a very intelligent kid. She was beginning to stare when something hit her in the back of the head. Startled, she looked behind her. Her best friend, Elizabeth Creswell, had thrown a crumpled up note at the back of her head. Catherine picked it up and read it. It said: What are you doing? You know Seth hates it when people stare! And you’ll get in trouble again. Why did WE have to get the sternest 5th grade teacher? Which daydream was it now? The one where you MARRY Seth? Hahaha…….Catherine rolled her eyes as she wrote her reply: HEY! That was once ok? Anyway I forgot that he hates it. I mean his handsome brown hair and eyes….. I don’t know why we got Mrs.WitherWrinkles but I am glad Seth got her too… I was daydreaming about flying again. Seth was with me but he was holding on to my hand, apparently so that he wouldn’t fall. He almost kissed me but then Mrs.Uglyspoon woke me up…..grrr…..She tossed it back. It was going to be a loooooong day.
After school, on the playground when she was daydreaming again, the bullies, Sergio, Michael and Taz, walked up. “Whatcha daydreamin about? Flowers, rainbows and ponies?!” laughed Taz, sounding as stupid as ever. That was it!! Catherine was fed up with the bullies. They had teased her ever since the 4th grade because she started wearing pigtails. She stood up and said “No, I am daydreaming about what is about to become reality!” And after that she punched Taz’s nose! He screamed clutching his now broken nose. Sergio and Michael, very stunned by the performance began to back away. Wide-eyed, unwilling to believe what she had just done, Catherine ran across the field, through the shortcut to her house and didn’t stop running until she got there.
At home she yelled a quick hi to her older brother Max, who was, as always, playing video games. When in her room she pounced on her bed. After a while she needed to tell someone so she decided to call Elizabeth. She picked up her purple phone and dialed in the number.
“You broke his nose?! I can’t wait to see what it looks like tomorrow!” Elizabeth exclaimed happily, as she too, was bullied by Taz and his gang. “Well you’re probably not gonna! He is either gonna be at home recovering, or he will have one of those huge bandages on his nose.” “Oh well!” she replied sarcastically, “I still can’t believe that you actually punched him! If it wasn’t for you, we probably would have been bullied by them till we’re seniors. I’m sayin gray-haired, wheelchair usin’, mitten knittin’ seniors! Nobody would have the bravery to do that kind of thing! And anyway-” “Hey! You’re talking too much again. CONTROL YOURSELF WOMAN! I just punched him; it’s not that big a deal!” “It will be when you go to school. Everybody will love you. Even Seth!” She said those last two words in a sing-song voice. “Catherine! I just got a phone call from school! Get down here this instant!” Catherine’s mom was calling. “Oh no, mom got a phone call from school. I am in so much trouble. I gotta go.” “You gotta face the music sometime! Take the heat. It will be worth it tomorrow!” They both hung up and Catherine cautiously walked downstairs, preparing for the volcano to erupt.
“You broke his nose Catherine Susan McWood!” “But mom! He has been bullying me since I started pigtails! And he teases the rest of the class!” “That is hardly an excuse. You say the same thing about your brother. Now since I know that he does bully you at school, much more than your brother. Also about your wonderful love to daydream. So I will shorten your grounding to a week. No TV and no sleepovers.” “Aww….” “Well I know how big of a bully that boy is, so you are very lucky that I only made the punishment a week.”
After that Catherine walked upstairs to her room to find their Jack Russell Terrier puppy, Oaky (Oh-ck-ee), on her bed. They had named him that because when Catherine and Max found him, he was under an Oak tree. “Hey boy. Wanna keep me company? I’ve had a rough day.” Catherine said, while flopping on her bed and began to pet Oaky. Oaky lay down and licked her hand affectionately.
That night, after a long, silent dinner, Catherine went out to their property which looked like a large meadow, but with scattered trees. Catherine always went out to the meadow with Oaky for about 15 minutes for some nice, peaceful alone time where Catherine can release her feelings. As she lay down in the grass, Oaky lay down next to her. Catherine looked up at the starry night sky. There was a full moon out and that was Catherine's favorite kind of night. “I wish I could fly. So I could just fly away from all this pressure. School…..and home.” Catherine felt herself falling asleep so she went inside to go to bed.
