gobbled it down. "Anna? You have my lunch ready?" asked William's father treading down the stairs. William's mother, Anna looked at William. William wiped his mouth on one of the napkins and sat up pushing the plate towards Joyce and taking her cereal instead. He placed the bowl to his lips and chugged down the milk and cereal. The radio in the family room blasted to it's full volume. William's father, Andy walked into the kitchen and saw Joyce nibbling on his fruit salad. He sighed and made a clucking sound with his tongue three times. He looked disappointed. William was too. He was disappointed because he couldn't finish the fruit salad. "Jemicia? You've got to tell your daughter to stop eating my fruit salad. William, you've got to stop chugging cereal down like that." ordered William's father. William burped extra loud. Louder than last time. "Eww." Joyce wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Where's Uncle Harold? He leave early?" asked William checking his reflection in the mirror. "Yep. William, what's with your hair? It reminds me of Hurricane Harold!" cried William's father. Everyone looked at each other. That was exactly what mother had said. Like his father, William was very handsome. Even though his hair was in a mess, he looked the best all the time. "I gotta go now. I've got to catch the Hurricane Harold to explain my hair." William rolled his eyes. "I'll drop you off." said Aunt Jemicia standing up and wiping her hands on a handkerchief. William nodded. He grabbed his bag and made sure his homework was in it. He grabbed Joyce and hoisted her onto his shoulders. She laughed. They walked out the front door with Aunt Jemicia on his heels.

Winifred sighed in annoyance. She got out of the car and looked around. James ran away to his friends. Winifred was left all alone. She looked behind her hoping to find the car still there but it was already driving away. Winifred blew her breath out. She walked towards a lonely tree. She sat down under it. She heard laughter near her. She saw Crasantha and a couple of girls laughing in her direction. Winifred ignored them and pulled out a novel she was reading. She flipped through the pages until she found the one she was at. The laughter of the girls turned into screams. Winifred looked up to see a spider hovering around their feet. They ran away. Winifred got up and walked towards it. She placed her hands down so it would crawl onto it. It slowly climbed her pinky onto her hand. Winifred stood up and carried back to where she was sitting. The whole playground had quieted down to watch her. They had never seen a girl hold a spider before. Winifred felt a shadow tower over her. Winifred looked up to see two girls looking down at her. One girl had pale skin, dark brown open hair and ice blue eyes. The second girl had strawberry orange hair and chocolate brown eyes. They were looking down at her very friendly. "Mind if we join you?" asked the one with the dark brown hair. "Go ahead." smiled Winifred. They sat down but looked nervously at the spider in Winifred's hand. "Oh." Winifred blushed and set the spider down onto the grass. "I'm Sharon." said the one with the brown hair."I'm Bonnie." said the one with the strawberry blonde hair. "I'm Winifred." said Winifred. She wanted to sound simple and pretend the name was very common among them. Sharon nodded and smiled. "Are you new here?" asked Bonnie raising an eyebrow. "Yes, I am" responded Winifred. She heard laughter and a car honk. She saw boys scrambling and girls fixing their hair and flirting. Bonnie and Sharon smiled. Winifred looked confusingly at the crowd around the car that had arrived. "What's going on?" she asked Bonnie and Sharon. "That's William." said Bonnie with her chocolate brown eyes sparkling with delight. "He's the most handsome kid in school and the best in sports." explained Sharon. "There's Merabeth!" cried out Bonnie waving to a small figure walking towards them but they both had their gaze fixed on the crowd. Little Merabeth sat down beside them and joined them looking at the car. "Merabeth meet Winifred. Winifred meet Merabeth." introduced Sharon but her eyes were still fixed on the car and the crowd. Merabeth turned around to face Winifred. Merabeth smiled and blushed. "Hello." smiled Winifred. Little Merabeth had dark hair and dark eyes. Her face was ghost white. All four of them continued looking at the car. A figure stepped out. Winifred was surprised. This so-called William was handsome. He had blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. He grinned at his friends. And at Crasantha. Crasantha waved her hand back at him. Winifred looked away. This was very stupid. A huge crowd just to see him? thought Winifred. Winifred looked at her novel and kept reading. "He's looking at you!" whispered Bonnie excitedly to Winifred. "Hmm." agreed Winifred. She wasn't listening but she was listening. "Winifred, he's walking toward us!" cried out Sharon too excitedly. Winifred wanted to see if he was actually walking toward them. She looked up from her book to see him smiling directly at her. "Hey, Bonnie, Merabeth and Sharon. I think he's looking for you guys. I better leave." Winifred closed her novel and opened her bag to put it back in but William was quicker. He reached them before she could fit the novel back into her bag. "Hello, ladies. Mind if I steal your new friend for a while?" he asked. The three of the girls giggled, flirted and got up walking away slowly so they could hear the conversation. This was not good. The last time the most popular guy in the school came up to her was to ask her out on a date. Winifred had denied which resulted in cold stares and rumors. William sat down beside her. Winifred nervously looked at him. "You look nervous. Have you not talked to a boy before?" asked William. "Oh, no, I mean yes I have talked to a boy before but the last time I talked to the most handsome boy in the school...let's just say it didn't turn out very well." explained Winifred. William laughed. "So you're new here right?" he asked Winifred. Winifred nodded silently. William smiled a billion dollar worth smile. Winifred was about to faint but she didn't. The last popular boy she had met was very handsome but not as charming as William. If Winifred became a scientist, she would definitely study William. William frowned. Even his frown was amazing. "Yes, I am new." she nodded. The school bell rang. "Well, welcome to Cesent Square!" he said and ran away to hurry to class. Winifred got up, brushed herself off and hurried after him.
The Beautiful Liar

Bonnie, Sharon, Merabeth and Winifred sat down under the shade of a tree. It had R+Y and L+A an other algebraic expressions written all over it. Winifred sighed and stared at the tree trying to solve them even though she knew that they meant something else. A shuffle of voices grew louder towards them. Winifred looked away from the tree towards the crowd. It was Crasantha. Winifred rolled her eyes. "Not you again." she said annoyingly. Bonnie, Sharon and Merabeth looked equally annoyed. "Lawrence, I've seen her somewhere!" exclaimed Crasantha. Winifred still wished she had her spider. "I just found out that the difference between girls named Crasantha and a scalawag is not much?" shared Bonnie with them. Crasantha flicked her hair. "Amazing. My theory was correct, Maxwell." said Crasantha to one of the boys beside her. "Girls can be very arrogant when someone was being very polite." she said. Maxwell nodded. "Indeed." he commented. When did Crasantha become so polite? "Crasantha!" called out a teacher at the door. Crasantha rolled her eyes with her hands on her hip. "There's Miss. Stanly. You are safe for today you ignoble wretchs!" she insulted them by pointing her fore finger at them. "Keep on talking, you numbskull!" insulted back Winifred. Crasantha walked away glaring at them. "Numbskull? Never heard that one before. I like it." said a voice behind Winifred. Winifred looked behind her to see William there. "Go away whoever you are." said Winifred gritting her teeth. She hated how she was attracting attention all the time. "That's not polite at all. Crasantha's theory is correct. Girls can be very arrogant when someone is being very polite." smile-winked William. Just one more year and Winifred would be out of junior high and into highschool. No more recesses and time to deal with beautiful liars like William. Winifred got up and dusted herself off. She faced William. He had a sheepish smile dancing on his face. "What's your name?" asked Winifred politely. "WIIIIIILLLIIIIIAAAAAMMMMM. Yours?" William exaggerated his name. "Why?" Winifred crossed her arms across her chest and tilted her head to look at him. "Every beauty is named. You should be too. If you're not, I'll name you something like Herbert or Robert." grinned William. Winifred's friends giggled behind her. Winifred blushed when he referred to her as a beauty. "My name is offensive to me.I prefer to tell anyone." lied Winifred. William rolled his eyes with his sheepish smile still dancing across his face. "What's her name?" asked William to Winifred's friends as she sat down. "Winifred." they all answered in unison. William laughed. Winifred picked her novel up and left to go sit down somewhere else without William's annoying laughter and handsomeness.
