The Tragedy of a Ten Year Old

before the hell of middle school

After a long week of moving and painting and building we finished the rooms

But school hasn't quite started we went school shopping yesterday and for the first time in forever I can say I honestly had a blast I can't wait to go to school

I got a new blue bookbag, a pencil case, mechanical pencils, pens, a pack of sharpies for art, scissors, way too many glue sticks because as dad says turn your back on the glue and next thing you know it's on your shoe... I don't really get it, it must be a kindergarten teacher thing. I got new notebooks a couple folders, some drawing paper, and last but definitely not least a new pair of tennis shoes

I haven't gotten a new pair of shoes in like a year and gosh have my feet ever hurt less I love these

I also got some school clothes and a new jacket I didn't really get it until mom said that if I wore a hoodie to PE I'd regret not having one.. thanks for the save mom

But until then we've just been bonding

"Max! Could you please come down stairs for a minute" my mom called

"Yea gimmie a minute"

Anyways my parents are calling I'll write soon

I closed the journal and ran down the stairs "What's going on?"

"We have to get to the school to set up my classroom" dad explained "you can either stay here and do whatever we have a couple video games and some streaming sites like Disney and Hulu but you can come if you want"

"I can come it'll be fun"

"Great were going to stop by the dollar store on the way"

"The dollar store?"

"Open house for the school district is Friday where the kids can come meet me and I always make a jitter juice where they drink it the night before school to get rid of the first day jitters of kindergarten, mom will take you to yours but afterwards she has to be back at the school to do some paperwork for new students"

"Ok what would we be getting?

A couple of reusable water bottles some apple and grape juice and some Kool aid and some cheap classroom decor because I didn't bring it home from the school those dicks threw it all away"

"That's fucking rude"

"Yea that's what I thought anyways get your shoes on we gotta go, also when we get to the school, watch your language"

"Ok, geez. How uptight are these people?"

"Very, I can't even swear off the clock, imagine the hell I'd be in for if you swear at school for me"

"Ok no swearing got it"
