My teacher thought it was a really cool idea to make everyone start writing in journals. She wants us to get our emotions out or something, so we all have to write in them. She says she's not going to read them. But flip through the pages to make sure we're writing. And if we don't write, she's failing us in the class. So I guess I'm stuck in this one, because I can't fail or I won't be able to join any sports. And then I would probably get yelled at for the rest of my life.
So.. what is there to say... I met a new friend yesterday, but he's a lot different than all my other friends... He's almost like a girl. I forgot his name.. I think it starts with D. But anyway, he was wearing a pink shirt and bracelets. I didn't know boys could wear bracelets. But I liked them so I might buy some too. Anyway he came up to me and said he was wondering if I wanted to hang out. So I said yes because I always do. I waited for him afterschool, where he told me to wait. He ran over to me once he finally found me. He runs really weird. Kinda like a girl. His hands were rocking around instead of a normal running stance where you move your arms back and forth. But I guess judging people isn't nice. When he finally got to me he bumped into something and held his arm from the pain. It didn't look like it hurt that bad because he slowed down. But he still made a whimpering noise so I looked at it for him. It was just a little scrape.. but I won't judge him still.
Well we decided to go to my house instead of his and we just played video games and stuff and I showed my mom and dad my new friend. I don't know if they liked him or not but they still welcomed him so that's good. Still, the way he reacted to everything was really strange...
