My life used to be all right. I wasn't the best -looking kind in my class, but I was okay to look at. at least I didn't have braces like Emma green .she had a big old set of metal ones,and I felt very sorry for her.like I said,my life was okay.but one day I got some very bad news."brad",mum said,"I've just had a talk with the dentist.she wants me to send you to someone who can fit braces right away." There was more bad news.I was getting the old kind of braces,the same kind as Emma green."no-o-o-o!!" I shouted.a week later,I had a face full of metal.now there were two people in my class a felt sorry for.one of them was me.
