I had had a great 6th grade year; I'd made two fantastic friends in Chloe and Gb, and didn’t have a single upsetting experience. It was the perfect year. I figured that since my 6th grade year was so great, it could only get better. I would meet new friends, new teachers, and would finally be in the same school as my older brother, Dylan. The suspense was killing me, I was actually looking forward to summer ending. I had to find something to do to pass the time so I decided to practice for the upcoming football season.

Gb and I would always sit next to each other and observe what the rest of the table did, and quietly joke to each other. Every once in awhile we would join in the conversation but for the most part we would just watch. Towards the end of the day I felt unfulfilled, high school wasn’t very different from elementary at all. You had more teachers but that was about it. High school was nothing special at all. Usually, I rode the bus at the end of the day, but since it was my first day my mom wanted to pick me up. “Want to go to dairy queen?” she
