I Hate Middle School

Art is fun.

I looked at my jeans. I looked like Caroline. My vans, my jeans, my glasses. I don't mean to copy her, I just like her style, ya know? I liked her glasses and I thought they were so cool and nerdy. When I learned I had to get glasses, I was so happy, because I finally get to have cool and nerdy glasses. But they annoy me sometimes. They kind of hurt my head a bit, because they push on the side of my head. I thought about all the "copying" I've done to Caroline. My looks... doing the stuff to Caroline. She always does stuff, sometimes that's just weird. I copy it, but a bit more- defined? I don't know. But it annoys the shit outta her. But that's also a bad habit. Somebody does something weird? I copy it and make it more weird. I can't really help it, it's just a bad habit... but anyways... I frowned. I do copy Caroline, but it's just because I like her and I see her as a role model... It's not my fault... or is it?

I was looking down at my jeans. Alex grabbed my arm, and said, "Gabby, don't let it get to you... Some things...jut have to move on..." She choked out, but still in a soothing voice that I never knew she had. Haley was on her DS across from us. We all go to art class on Monday's. We stay after school until it's time to go. My mom is a teacher at school. She helps me with stuff. But, school stuff. Not social stuff. I felt the tears in my eyes. I held them back. I pulled my glasses off and wiped them away quickly. Why does my life have to be this way?

"Guys, Arceus just hugged me. He just squashed me." Haley said. She was playing Pokemon SoulSilver on her DS. I chuckled a bit. Alex started to mock the Arceus, attacking Haley in the process. I laughed a bit at Alex and Haley having fun. Why can't I have fun like this with Caroline?

It ways finally time to go to Art Garden. I hopped out of my mom's car along with Haley and Alex. We stepped into the nice warm air and looked at the decorated tables and snacks and activities everywhere.

"Oh yeah! The party is today!" I exclaimed with a bit of joy. Mae nodded. I smiled at her and Alex, Haley, and I sat down at one the activities. It was where you made cute Christmas ornaments out of Popsicle sticks. And because I'm the Pokemon addict I am, I decided to make a Delibird ornament. Delibird is like a bird (and Pokemon) version of Santa, so it fit right in to our Christmas party.

We were there a while, joking and making crafts. I loved being with them. They make me smile. I almost forgot about me and Caroline... almost...
