About The Author
Erin is a normal teen-age girl.
She is in the 7th grade and is an artist. She creates all the
artwork used in her stories. She loves to draw and is a member
of the Art Club. She also likes to write. She has
created this particular story from her own experiences. Names
have been changed to protect her friends, teachers, and others whom
she bases her creations on. Not that her friends mind,
however, but the others just might. Rosana is a caricature
based on herself. Erin says that she created Rosana as she saw
herself--her
"other self ". I guess you could
say that it is the way we want others to see ourselves. She
likes math, but not science or social studies. She also uses a
graphic art program, (Jasc Paint shop Pro8), to add
pizzazz to her artwork
She hopes that her stories are easy
to relate to and interesting enough that you will want to read more.

by Erin Story
This Story begins with a girl who is different and not different at the same
time. She is isolated from the world--trapped in a forest and not able to
do anything fun. That's the difference. She has the same life you
see in every girl. That's where our story begins.
"Hey, Mom, I was thinking of putting a picture of me on my invitations," said
Rosana. "Well, it is your birthday party. You do what ever you want
with your invitations," said her Mom.
It was difficult for Rosana, because her birthday party was in three weeks and
she was behind on what she had to do.
It was the next day and Rosana was tired. She got ready for school.
When she got in the courtyard of the school, she handed out seventy-five
invitations to seventy-five people. She gave her friends hair flowers
with invitations attached to them. It said this:
|
You have been invited to my birthday/pool party.
Meet me at the
YMCA at 1:00PM
Bring the hair
flowers and swimsuits.

She gave her crush, Peter, an invitation with a rose on
it. There was a special invitation attached to the rose. It said:
"You will get the second piece of my cake.
Rosana Caroline McLady"
When he read it, he was surprised. "Thank you, Rosana," he said.
The other kids, she did not invite, kept on coming up to her
and asking her why they were not invited. She told them two things. Either it
was "Because I don't know you" or "you did not treat me nice last year".
When Tiffany came up, Rosana said," you are mean to me and
you treat me like trash. You need to be nice to me if you want to be invited to
my party." Tiffany screamed and walked away.
Rosana was so happy that she jumped up and down.
She told all of her friends
what happened. They were happy too. Rosana told them that Tiffany might crash
the party so she was going to need their help.
After school, Rosana found her mother watching Dr. Phil on
the TV. " Hey Mom, why can't we cut my hair?" she asked.
"Because we can't find the scissors,'' answered her mom.
"I think Grandpa has some," she smiled. Rosana went
into her Grandpa's office. She asked him if she could have a pair of scissors.
He gave her a pair.
"Mom, Grandpa gave me a pair of scissors," said Rosana.
Rosana's Mother grabbed the scissors and started to cut her
hair. Ten minutes later her hair was done. "You look cute!" she said proudly.
"You look cute!" her grandfather said. But she wasn't quite sure she
believed them. She didn't believe them until she saw it for herself in the
bathroom mirror. She thought she looked pretty good.
When everybody saw her with the short hair, they could not
believe their eyes. "Rosana your hair is short,'' everyone said.
"Well that’s because I cut it," She said.
"You look cute!" everyone agreed.
