It is the first day of school and everyone is nervous. It's freshman year and it’s certain that everyone wants to make a good impression. All the boys are dressed up with button up shirts, and the girls are wearing long, flowery dresses. However, the new girl doesn't get the dress code memo. She is completely ostentatious with her glittery, low cut shirt, her daisy duke shorts, and all her sparkly bling.  It seems as if she is a radiant sun.  "Nice dress," says one of the boys as she walks by him.  As she walks down the hallways, everyone is blinded by all the light reflecting off of her dress and jewelry. The one boy looks directly at her, and is blinded and falls on the pavement where he suffers from losing his sight. 
She attends her first class, taking her seat front row and center, where everybody can see her.  She sticks out like a sore thumb.  The teacher stands in front of a single board, droning on about the rules of the class.  "The school will not tolerate obscene attire," says the teacher.  Though everybody is looking at her, she thinks she looks splendid.  She believes she is the best dressed at the school, and doesn't care about what anybody else thinks. 
The only problem is that beneath all the jewelry and nice clothing, she has a terrible fungus that is highly contagious, and spreads like a wildfire.  She often looks at the clock, wondering when her friends will find out her families well guarded secret.  This is the fifth town she had moved into and is really enjoying it more than the others.  The outbreak at the previous towns were rapid and terrifying, she doesn't understand why it didn’t affect her the same as everyone else. She just wants to be one of the regular popular girls at school.  So she runs like a cheetah to JCPennies and buys the most scrumptious washcloth she can find, to compliment her showy attire.  Everyone knows that washcloths are in style, and bath towels are out. When she puts on the washcloth, she starts to spasm like a wild gorilla. Unfortunately, she is allergic to the material that the washcloth is made out of. But, since she had nothing else to wear, she has to work with it, and look fantastic.
