''Do I have to wear this?'' I sigh. I glanced at my short top, my flat stomach slightly showing. ''Yes! Everyone will want to see you wearing this new outfit.'' My manager, Stacey, snapped at me but staring into the distance dreamily, probably wondering the paparazzi shoving cameras into my face. I nodded quickly before she lost her temper. I stood still getting my face 'painted' (aka. makeup) for school, my jeans cutting off all circulation in my legs. My chocolate brown eyes scanned the room until it caught my best friend, Alice. Her brown hair was tied up perfectly as usual, she was basically a beauty queen who didn't know it. We had been friends for as long as I could remember and everyone mistakes us for sisters sometimes. ''Hey, What's up with Edna Mode over there?'' she glared at Stacey. She kind of did look like Edna Mode... small, black bob and mean. ''She wants me to wear this! Look at me! I look like a prostitute...and I cannot feel my legs!'' Her face slowly turned to mine with an evil glint in her eyes. She unzipped the top of her black school bag and grinned at me, pulling out a white and black lacey dress. My whole face must of lit up because she looked proud though shoved it quickly into her bag before anyone else saw. My best friend was an absolute genius! We both turned to see a shiny, black range rover parked perfectly outside the hotel...and two other vans swinging round the corner in the distance. ''Emily! The paps are here. Get moving!'' Stacey tossed me my bag, not caring if it hit me or not. 

I ran downstairs careful not to trip on my 5 foot heels. I held the handle bar as tight as possible. ''Ms Walker.'' 2 men who looked like they should be an agent from men in black shielded me as I stepped out the silver doors. ''Emily!'' One yelled. ''Emily Walker! Over here.'' Others screamed trying to get pictures of my face. ''Emily, how does it feel to be wearing the new desig-'' She was cut off by the car door slamming.

The car ride was quiet and I spent most of it in the back, getting dressed into my new clothes. I loved them much more, they were less showable...and somehow it looked more designer so I'm sure Stacey wouldn't mind. The car slowed down to a halt. My eyes peered outside the shaded windows, a massive school stood in front of me. 'Midtown science.' Was all I could read. Yeah. I did science. Surprised? me too. 

I felt all eyes on me as I looked behind at Alice, giving me a sheepish smile and a small thumbs up. Breathing slowly in I flipped my hair and strutted towards the front doors. ''Oh my god.'' Was all I heard around me. It was like everything had frozen. People had stopped playing, running, talking and I swear some stopped breathing. I gave many a small smile. Everyone stood out of my way, it was exactly like the cat walk. Me and Alice pushed each double door open and walked towards the front office.

''Welcome,'' An old lady stuttered behind a desk. ''to Midtown Science.''
