I'm writing a story, and I'd like to know something. How's this sound for an attention-getting first paragraph? Does it make you want to read more?
"It all started in the most bizarre way I could have ever imagined. I was nothing back then, just the outcast girl who spent all her time immersed in books. I wouldn’t have minded if they had paid no attention to me, but the nickname “Factory Reject” was a bit hard to take. Nevertheless, I did my best to ignore the snide comments and jeering looks. That had been the state of things for my entire school career. By the time I entered fifth grade, I was convinced that nothing would ever change. The first sign of how wrong I was came on the very first day. Although it was most certainly September, the weather was still nice enough that the teacher left the windows open."
