A Whole New World

First Impessions

August 14 2017

    Today was the first day of school. A few teachers talked about how this was our chance to start fresh. No one knew anything about us, except of course the people who did. Teachers act like we're supposed to make all new friends, ditch our old ones and fight over silly stuff. I'm not sure why they want this to happen so badly. I guess the counseled does so he'll have a job.

    I know I'm making fun of this but it's not all bad. No one here knows about the plane crash or my mom moving. I will meet new people that know absolutely nothing about me. The part that bothers me is that teachers expect us to be totally different people than we were in the past.

    I am in Ms. Lynn's home base. That is the smart home base. I don't know anyone in the room. I sat next too a random kid. a little boy a foot shorter than we, didn't talk much it seemed like I could deal with being near him. Not many people had came yet. I knew that none of my friends would be in my room. I scanned all the lists looking for my friend's names, they were all in different home bases'.

    My day was pretty good. I got to move a lot which I'm not used too, I have one hour classes. I will be getting a school IPad in a few weeks. I got to see my friends a lunch, I had never been so happy to see them in my entire life. We talked about our days so far, I was asked if I had went to Mrs. Andre's class yet. I shook my head no and was warned, ''Good luck it's weird.'' Now fearful and curious I asked why it was bad. Before anyone could answer our table was called to go back to class.

    I arrived in Ms. Lynn's room. I was told that I had Mrs.Andres next. The clock kept ticking. I got more anxious by the second. I was told, time to go see the next teacher. I sat in my seat. We wet over a power point she had made titled, "Surviving Middle School,'' I still didn't understand why I needed luck to get through this class. The presentation told us the importance of studying, following direction ect.

     Confused I looked on the bored. I saw what my friends were talking about. The next slide read, " First Real Relationships.'' Me and my friends have never been the dating type. One of my best friends broke a boys arm because he asked her out twice in one day, it's a good story. Everyone in the room got quiet. Mostly everyone by sixth grade has had a boyfriend or girlfriend at some point, I haven't. I've had friends that are boys but never an actual boyfriend.

    The teacher told us that grade school dating was fake, that's what I always called it fake but no one took me seriously. She told us that now it was real. I thought this was a weird topic so I thought about other things. I've never had, don't now or want a boyfriend ever.
