ADDISON POV:
I take a few selfies in my new orange T-shirt and post it on my Instagram. "#GRADE8 #ORANGECLASS #NEWBEGINNINGS #WILF " ,I put as my caption and sent is off to the world.

I walk into Wilfred High with four hair buns covered in leaves for some kind of "décor" , with my orange T-shirt tucked into my green school skirt and polished shoes with a backpack on my back weighting two times more than I do. I fill into my line behind another girl wearing an Orange T-shirt. The line of kids on my left side are all dressed in "Red" and on my right side "Green" or as they call themselves "Green Goblins" (they sure act like them). We are six different classes. Each one to be known by their color of T-shirt. Out of emphatics we have team names based on our classes - we kind of made it our mission to see one another as competition. The 'teams' are lined up as follow : Class A4, ''Blue da ba dee's ''-I didn't even ask, I rather live my life never knowing either. Class B7, 'The Big Teeth Of The Yellow Tigers'- I'll say it's creative ,but know I keep thinking that the tigers teeth reeks, thinking every child in that class maybe contain bad breath. Class C5, 'Green Goblins'- maniacs. Class D9, 'California Orange Crew'-the worst thing about that name is that we don't even live in California and being called the 'orange crew' makes me feel our class are Umpalumpa's. I bet with this team name everyone thinks we are hallow pumpkin heads ,because clearly there is nothing in our going on above. Class E1 , 'The Scarlet Plague'-this is definitely the nerd class. Their team name is a novel written by Jack London in 1912. I have read the book twice last summer. The title for a team name is actually exhilarating ,the plague in the book made victims die within an hour and mortality was practically 100%. Moving on to class F8 , 'Purpies'- according to the Urban Dictionary it means, when one fingers their own butt hole and proceeds to his/her soiled finger to the area above the upper lip and below the nostril. This creating the lingering musk of poop for the victim. Heaven forbids that one of these children in this class ever, and I mean EVER approach me. For everyone's safety we have to warn the school learners in Wilfred High not to borrow the "Purpies" anything or visa versa.
Most of these children comes copy and past from Green Lake Elementary school , me included. 70% of these faces I sadly know ,5% I don't mind talking to and the last 25% are basically ,to us, out siders. When you go to Green Lake Elementary there is a 98% chance you will end up here.The two schools are three blocks away from one another and mostly host every event(s) (like the yearly carnival) together.
The school leaders jump up and down up front trying to get us into the 'vibe'. The bubble heads around me actually participates in this ,clapping and screaming like we're at some legal rave. I hate these things ,screaming for no reason just to get some type of 'hype' to be seen as a whole. Meanwhile I don't like one of these living sperms that knocked up some woman 14 years ago thinking the sperm would've been a blessing. If you don't dance and sing they literally come to you and say how you must participate , I just ignore them. 18-Year ''adults'' who think they rule the school ,jokes on them, next year their the fishes in an ocean full of sharks. No mamma fishy to fight them battles or a teacher spoon feeding them all the way to the top. I'll let them have their laugh now when you making us bowl down, call them big fancy names that makes them feel special (clearly their parents didn't do a great job in that department) , carry their bags or run after them like a little assistant aka doggy with a leach and hold their water bottle because suddenly they forget how there hands work and apparently their basic human manners to talk to you like a human and not a dustbin rat. I'll have my laugh next year ,scrolling trough social media seeing how the 'perfect' couple broke up ,because het actually realize she's a bitch. How the popular group fades into different lifestyles ,because they realize they have their own voice as individuals and nobody in the big world is going to feel intimidated by some no name teens. The jogs will realize competing doesn't just stop in one province for the past twelve years, they'll have to compete nationally. My thought linger around this whole set up for the rookie concert and al this power people with hold because of their status...a bunch of bullshit.
