Well, where do I start about myself?

I'm Lydia Gordon, I'm fifteen years old, and I can't walk. I was born that way – without the use of my legs, not fifteen years old – so I'm not worried about that.

I'm worried about school, specifically, starting at Cedar Heights, the school for special needs students. Before now, I was never one of them. But suddenly, the Elwood City school board decided that I was.

Well, they're stupid.

I've only lived in Elwood City for a year now, and last year at Lakewood Middle School was pretty great. But now, I'm going to a special needs school.

Great.

My mom told me, she was all like "Lydia, you're starting school at Cedar Heights next Monday, would you like a blue or green binder?"

And then I was like "um, what?"

Then she was like "I could try to find a purple binder, or what about those cute ones with kittens?"

Then I was like "I didn't mean the binders, but I'd like a blue one. I meant, WHY AM I GOING TO A FUCKING SPECIAL NEEDS SCHOOL?"

And then Mom was like "Lydia, dear, watch your language please!" Then she walked away into the kitchen and I followed her.

Then I was like "Mom. Mom. Mom!"

Then she was like "Lydia, what do you need?"

So I gave up.

Either way, I'm stuck with it now, and from what I've heard, it'll be hell.

A/N: So, I'm starting this... I hope you guys like it. There will be some OCs later on, plus some appearances from other characters.

Also, because I always forget this (but is it even necessary?) here we go:

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Arthur and its characters, or anything else you might recognize later on in this story. I will not own Arthur nor its characters nor anything else mentioned during this story at all, ever. So this covers the entire thing then. Yep!

Well, read and enjoy!
