Speak 1-100

It is Melinda Sordino's first day at Merryweather highschool. She is a freshman and had a terrible experience and she doesn't speak much. All the girls she used to be friends with now hate her and she meets a new girl in school named Heather. She takes an art class and their teacher gives them a piece of paper with an object on it they have to make something of. Her's says tree and she doesn't know what she is going to do with that. She finds out that the one person (referred to as IT) that she never wants to see again goes to this school. Art is the only class she exceeds in and her art teacher thinks she does very well. For Christmas her parents give her a drawing pad and charcoal and Melinda loves this and appreciates it even though her and her parents don't get along the greatest. During gym class her gym teacher realizes she's really good at shooting foul shots and wants her to go out for basketball. She isn't going to do that but will help the boy's basketball team out.
