I had blossomed into something new by freshman year and I loved it. Most of my friends and I all had filled out in areas we did not expect. We now had boobs, hips, and thighs. Quite a deadly combination for a highschool girl to possess. We learned how to use our new attributes to our advantage rather quickly.

The double doors of Mason County High School soared open at three o 'clock on a sunny spring afternoon. School was out for the summer. Students darted out of the school like they were being chased by something colossal, repugnant, and petrifying. “Ouch!” wailed Tyra as she was pushed down by this gargantuan pack of mad wolves sprinting as if they had their eyes on prey. Tyra continued on, “The boys at this school are SO annoying and immature!” “Atleast boys give you attention. I would do…
