Dear Diary,
Tomorrow is my first day of middle school, and I'm nervous. I talked to Flynn about it when he came to visit last week, and he said that the best thing to do is to find a group of friends, like one or two is good enough, and that'll be fine. He said when he first met his friend Louis, he felt at home there, even though a lot of people made fun of him because of his cerebral palsy. I guess I should be glad that I don't have anything people can see that makes me different.
Mom said she saw Mrs. Johnston, my fourth-grade teacher, at the grocery store, and that she asked how I was doing. She was happy to hear that I'm taking algebra next year, but she wasn't surprised. Mrs. Johnston was the one who thought I'd be really good at math, and that's why she tested me back then. I kinda don't like how I'm in the advanced class, because none of my friends are in it. Mom thinks I'll make new friends in this class, but I've heard those students all think they're the center of the world. I don't know.
Speaking of friends, Jenna and I were texting earlier today. She thinks that James has a crush on her, and she doesn't know if she'd do anything with him. I mean, we're only 11! Flynn said he didn't have his first real girlfriend until college, and he's only been with his current girlfriend, Whitney for a few months now. I don't think that's for me yet.
I've been thinking about Dad recently. I get jealous of Flynn sometimes, because he got fifteen good years with Dad, and I got a few months when I was a baby before he died of cancer. I can't imagine what it's like to get something like that and have it kill you. Like, how would you even respond to that? Just having to leave your family like that. I'm so glad Mom showed me a video as a present for fifth-grade graduation from when I wasn't born, that has Dad and Aunt Marie's husband, Hank, on it. I almost cried when Dad said he loved me very much. Mom said she'd come across this in some old boxes in the attic, which she said she hadn't touched since we moved in this house when I was really little.
