Middle school of depression

First day of school

It was the first day of school and the halls were busy. Going into a new school is terrifying and I'm sure everyone can relate. I walked in my new grade six class and was immediately intimidated by two girls. They had perfect hair both had a cute top over their leggings that made me feel under dressed in my jeans. I decided i needed to be their friends if i ever wanted a shot at being popular. I had close to zero friends up until grade three when i made a quick turn around when the populars at the time decided i could be their friends. So in grade six I really didn't want to have no friends again so was ready to put everything on the line in order to even more and more and more friends.

The teacher was putting us in groups to do some activities and get to know each other because we were coming from three different schools so we only knew a few other people in the classi just happened to be with the two other girls. They turned out to be nice, their names were Rachel and Christina and Rachel and me had many similarities that kept us talking and we realised we rode at the same stables too funny enough so we were talking for ages about that.

It became stressful to maintain the friendships with my new group of friends and my old group because my old group of friends were pretty "ew popular" since the populars were no longer the teachers favourites. The two groups rarely hung out together and when they did it wasn't for long so most the time i sort of alternated between the two but I was only ever with my old group because I would feel bad about ditching them.

I especially was close to one girl in my new group if friends her name was Sam (we had the same name) we ended up partnering up together for most things and we had a good friendship. At this point i didn't really hang out with my old group of friends in school hours because i didn't have enough time but on the weekends i would always see them.
