Of Cities and Particles

Once upon a time there was a girl named Samantha with the last name of an indecisive particle. She had just began First grade at a school called Mountainside Elementary located at the foot of the great mountains. Unlike all the other kids, Samantha wasn't scared of being away from her mother for a whole day, for a few years of daycare had toughened her up by then. She met her teacher, Mrs. McFish, and found her classroom just fine. After being given the number 17 for her Cubbie, Samantha noticed something that had never been before: there was someone else named Samantha in her class! Samantha had never met anyone with the same name as her before and she was quite excited. The other Samantha had just noticed this too. She had a last name that was also a popular city in Texas.
And thus began a beautiful rivalry between two girls (who also ended up being friends)
You see the two girls felt they had to prove who was the better Samantha. And so they tried to one up the other. Since the Samantha with the city for her last name got called in role call first she would always say 'here' or 'present' always switching it up. The particle Samantha would always say the opposite of what the other would say and stick her tongue out at the girl. It was a strange little game they played, and the particle girl only lost once (but once was enough hmph...). They also stole things from each other too, things like glue and pencils. they thought it was quite fun.
And so First grade changed to Second and they were in the same class again. They were taught by Ms. Stewart. there were many new faces this year, like Samantha particle's new friends Amber, Ronnie, Avery, and that boy who was always afraid of her, Jimmy. the Samantha's continued their little rivalry through those years, but Samantha Particle was taken out at the time when they were being taught to do English. they made her visit the Librarian who told her and two others that they had to wright a paper about a tropical animal and other stuff. Samantha didn't like it because it was already like this other writing thing she had to do after school. From then on she hated it when someone told her she had to wright about something. Second passed into Third and Samantha Particle had to move away. She was very sad, but at the same time happy because she wouldn't have to attend daycare anymore.
She then went to a place called Mountainview. a place where she was given the number 11, and she was forced to remember her manners in front of the teacher, Ms. Lee. It was a very important year for Samantha because she learned how to lie. Samantha didn't like that year very much
Another CSAP later and Third had passed into Fourth. Samantha moved again, this time to a place where all the houses looked the same, but were different colors. Samantha's new school was called Patriot. This year was probably her favorite year of all time, because the school was brand new and her class was the only fourth grade class the school had ever had. Samantha walked to school this year and on her way she met the best MP she had ever met. he always talked to her and helped her cross the road, he said his siter played the clarinet and that Samantha reminded him of her. This year Samantha met (another) Amber, Jasmine, and Lawrence. She was very happy here.
Fourth turned to Fifth and it seemed something happened. Samantha particle met Samantha city again! They weren't in the same class, but they still met in the playground. Both of them had to wear glasses. samantha met a lot of her old friends from Moutainside again, because the school had closed down. It was very weird. But they became friends again and Samantha met Alexis, Abbey, and other great friends. She was happy this year too.
Fifth turned to Sixth and Samantha particle had to move again, but this time very far away from the mountains she loved so much. She moved North east to be reuinited with her brother (who scared the crap out of her when she was dead tired after a three day drive. He just suddenly appeared beside her window in the van and she screamed). It was either here or Alaska. In this new place Samantha met many great people and made many great friends who made her feel welcome. Although she still misses those mountains and thinks it's far to green and woodsy here.
Now five years later, Samantha was digging around in a box full of pencils and markers only to pull out a glue bottle with Samantha Houston written on it in black sharpey. uh...oops. (hey, i keep what i steal);)
