**Robot Wars Original Author: Dee Dee** "Goodbye!" "Goodbye Mum." Maxi pulled her elephant-sized, regulation school bag over her shoulder and dragged herself out the front door, and into the thundering rain. ​ Maxi was a fourteen year old girl who attended the only school in 100 miles - Greenland High. She was short sized, with a rather plump stomach. It was a pity, because Maxi was the type of girl who wanted to be recognised for being model-like - tall and skinny. Maxi was sick of being referred to as "The chubby girl in year 10' or as 'the short one - you know her'. She wanted her name to echo throughout Hollywood, be in all the popular girl's conversations and have billboards in Hollywood advertising her Miss USA win, or the catwalk she was going to be on that afternoon. Sadly, the only pretty thing about her was her name. Maxi had rasin brown hair that was always squeaky clean, and small, mud-coloured eyes that only shone when her name was called out. Even then, that wasn't often. Maxi's mother yelled at her so much. She got calls around twice a day from Maxi's dean, Ms Grey about Maxi's lack of concentration. "Maxine, concentrate in maths, then you'll whiz through your tests, and everyone would like you because of your intelligence." she would shout, or, "Maxine, pay attention in R.E. If you don't know how to finish off a prayer, then you will have to repeat your year!" she would scream. Maxi couldn't help having her lack of concentration. She daydreamed all day long about being a hotshot, dazzling, top-class model in Los Angeles, and being besties with celebrities like Paris Hilton or Nicole Ritchie. They were her heroes, always sparking up her day.
