Maddie Lanier

Little brown bangs and freckles, and with little feet to match. She’s that quiet chick in the corner, until you get to know her. And then she’s more like a bundle of wit and sarcasm that interjects your sentences whenever you speak. She’s clever, so you’d better watch out. She’ll randomly burst into an Irish jig at inappropriate times, and make you lose your focus. And even when she's not dancing, she walks on the balls of her feet. It’s so distracting; you can’t look away! It’ll mesmerize you until you run into someone or trip. What’s more deceptive is the way she eats. Looking at her slender, 5’2” body you could never imagine that she eats unnatural amounts of cheesecake and feta cheese nearly every day.

She’s a conspirer, and the worst part is that no one will believe you because she looks like the sweetest thing on earth. Every day she comes to school prim and proper with color coordination and little button-up sweaters. And her little feet have little Chuck Taylors that are almost spotless, despite the fact that they’re worn several times a week. She carries her books in an obnoxious yellow backpack that burns your eyes more than the sun itself. One day someone will be so fed up that they’ll probably rip it off her back and drop kick it. But until that day comes, you’ll always be able to pick her out of the crowd in the hallway.

And she rhymes e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g!
