    "How does it finally feel to be leaving middle school", my mom asks. I smile looking down at my feet as we walk out of the auditorium of my school. "I feel relieved that I won't have to wake up at eight in the morning five days a week... for a few months at least". "Yep, my little girls growing up. She's moving on to greener pastures, making the leap from an innocent preteen to a full blown whiney teenager". "Puberty and all", I groan to myself. "It's all a part of life", she chuckles nudging me, " if it counts you already have your growth spurt out of the way". "Yeah I'm already taller than 90 percent of my grade". "Don't worry about that, once you get into high school that'll all change", my mom reassured. I nodded still keeping my eyes glued to my feet.

    The double doors to the entrance of the auditorium swung open letting other graduates and their families through. Grins were spread across everyone's faces  as they enthused about plans they had for the summer. Familiar faces passed but the only ones that caught my attention were those of Shea and Jess who walked out together in my direction. I excused myself from my mom and ran over to meet them.

"How excited are you guys to go to high school", Jess squealed.

"Just think of all the cute boys, and parties we'll be invited to", I add.

"Yeah and I'll get to be in art class every day instead of every other day, which is awesome", Shea says. 

"High school together is going to be great, I say as we form a tight three way hug. As I linger in the embrace I cant help but think I'm forgetting something. 

"Wait- hold on guys", I say as I back out slightly. "First we have to get into the same high school... remember".

"Yeah, but I heard that getting into Wrenn Anton is a piece of cake", Jess brushed off. I nodded but in the back of my mind I knew that neither mine nor Shea's grades were that great, and Wrenn is very serious about their students having B average or higher.

"Listen, we've been talking about getting into Wrenn since 7th grade.
