Finding Happiness

Chapter 9

7th grade was a great year. Honestly its been one of my favorite school years. I had a great class and some pretty great memories.

That year our middle school welcomed Three new and very young 7th grade teachers and I somehow ended up on the "team" with all three of them. (Each grade was separated into 2 "teams") I liked them all, they were great teachers and made that year fantastic.

Ms. Coffman was our science teacher and I always felt a connection with her, like she was an older sister and I could literally tell her anything. I did grrat in her class, but later un the year we were given bad news. She told us she had to leave and she couldnt say why. So March 25th was her last day and it was sad to see her go.

Mr. Hokanson was our History Teacher. He was honestly my favorite out of the teachers (I tend to favor male teachers/coaches over female and I honestly couldnt tell you why.) Hokanson was laid back and easy going. He was a fantastic teacher and I always looked forward to his class. We were fiven assigned seats in his class and I sat with Kossamak Haley Doulton and Burke and we worked together and listened so well everyone said we were the teachers pets. I honestly didnt care because there was no way I would have changed the people I sat with because I enjoyed them that much.

Ms. Singleton was my least favorite out of the group of teachers I had, so I wont talk about her as much (she was the English teacher.)

Then finally, Mrs. Prince. She was the math teacher and that year I ended up making a 98 as the year average for her class and I've never been that good in math.

Now that we are passed the teachers, I will get to what I experienced with the students. That year I went to football games and hung out with people I didn't expect to even talk to. I remember one night I was walking around with my friend Casey, he was crazy and hilarious and we had actually met the year before when we both somehow ended up at the same beach. He was great friends with the boy who started the Emo rumors so of course that night I had to talk to him. His name was Junior, and he eventually apologized for what he did the year before and told me he felt awful about it and asked me to forgive him. I accepted the apology and forgave him, but I never forgot about it. I kept it in the back of my mind so I could remind myself to keep my guard up.

Later that night I received a message on facebook from Junior and he actually told me he liked me, but he wouldn't ever ask me how I felt or even consider asking me to be his girlfriend because he wasnt like that. I was shocked and didn't know how to act but I continued to talk to him anyways. I didnt like him so I just focused on how to build some kind of friendship with him.

A few weeks later I got a boyfriend. I had liked him since the year before and was actually shocked he liked me too. We didnt talk a lot and were awkward with each other but when we went to football games we would walk around.

I will also tell you the first fight I had with my mom. (This is important) My older sister and her never got along, and my mom was blowing her up over social media. My parents were on Vacation so I was staying with my step sister Katie. She was talking to Madyson about what to do and I had enough of my mom ruining our fun. I eventually messaged her and from that point on we argued and argued and that was the first time I ever stood up to my mom.

Now that we are passed that, I'll continue with what I was talk about before. All of 7th grade Junior talked to me and told me he liked me more and more and I tried to ignore that part but with him constantly reminding me, it was impossible. After the year ended, Me and Mason didnt talk over the summer because his phone broke so I continued talking to Junior, even talked on the Group Chat that was started in 6th grade.

But then something changed over the summer, it was like Junior just disappeared and I felt awful, like he just got sick of me and I had actually gotten to the point of liking him as a person and a friend. But I still had Trevor Kossamak and Sola. We talked and talked on the chat and eventually me and Trevor got back to being even better friends then before our "relationship" in 6th grade.

The summer went by fast, I stayed in Maryland with my mom once again and then when school was about to start I went back home to my Dad and Lisa. I was getting excited for my last year in Middle school and honestly counted down the days until school was back in session.
