My Grade 8 Drama

Wednesday, September 5th

Okay, I just want to say something before I start writing, do you know how hard it is to come up with a new name that is not anybody else's name, is? No you don't because you don't know this because you are not experiencing it. (Insert sigh here).

Wednesday, September 5th,

I can't say that the second day is as good, fun, or exciting as the first day. By that point the fun has stopped and well, you just aren't having as much fun, well most people wouldn't, but I am because Mary, Summer and Lexi, are all in my class. We even sit near and next to each other!

Today it was foggy, and as a result, there was a 2 hour bus delay. My dad drove Link (My brother) and me to school, but the only grade 8 girls that were there, were Lexi, cause she is a walker, and Emma, who I don't really hang out with, I felt very alone.

We did some simple Math, broken-line graphs, which are pretty much the same as line graphs. Mary is going to be mad that she has to catch up on it, she hates Math a lot, which is why I sometimes wonder why we are friends... I swear, in Kindergarten we had a lot more in common!

First recess was pretty boring, we got to go outside, but there wasn't really anything to do, I hung out with Jenna and Ashlen, she is a bit crazy, but not as crazy as Lexi. Ashlen was talking about talking to strangers on a chatting site, I swear she will get kidnapped one day, very, very, soon.  We saw the buses arrive and I was really excited, 'cause when we do some work, we might be in groups, and though I dislike groups, if I had to be in one, I would want to be in one with Mary, I have been in a group with Lexi, and I am never doing that again!

This may come as a surprise to you, but its not to me, 'cause this happened to me, but 3 kids got moved into our class, Jenissa and Sara, who are grade 7 girls, as well as Ricky, who is in my grade and, and I am sorry to say, Lexi likes to throw oranges at. However, in the process Dylan got moved into Mr Kews class. I have mixed feelings about this, I mean its good because now, I have no competition, but bad because I kind of like competition and Dylan is a jokey competitor. So its fun for both of us. Please, no comments about this, and you all know who you are.

One of the highlights of the day, was that our class has Mr Kews for Geography and History! We did a simple map, really what is with all the simple work? I come to school to learn new things, not stuff I already know? Although I guess a review is always good. But after seeing Mr Kews in action, I am kind of glad I got Mr Arves, because Mr Kews is a little, harsh.

Oh and that for Heath we have Mrs D, she went away to have a baby, but she is back, which means I get 5 really good (if not scary), teachers!

After lunch we had French, nothing really new, talked a bit about our new unit, but that all. We had Music after that!

Mr Wechmen made us do a game, while he did our musical names, my musical name is ADEA, and it sounds really pretty! Summer and Mary partnered up for the game, and I was by myself. I didn't even finish the page but I still got 56 points. Mary tried to get away with using a word that would have gotten 44 points by itself, but its a word she made up in grade 5. I didn't count, at least we all got a candy in the end.

Last recess was boring, Savannah thought we were being mean because Mary, Summer and I were talking without her, now, I just want you to know, that Savannah is a little.... weird. The only reason Mary, Summer, or Jenna is even friends with her is because I became friends with her.

At the very end of the day, we did a Trial Dictation, its kind of a test but he doesn't record the marks, I got perfect which means when we do the real test I will get perfect on that too! Hopefully!

When we got home I talked with my neighbor, Susan about school, we talked for 15 minutes and then I went inside on the computer. There I was talking with Jenna, and she kept complaining about being in Mrs Kipes class, then she brought up the fact that kids moved. I had to tell her that they do take a kid out if they moved a new kid in. She said that if she asked her mom to move her they wouldn't move Mary, Summer or me because she would be moving into our class to be with her friends. I didn't tell her that Lexi might be moving into Mr Kews class, 'cause then she would think she would get to move.

I told Jenna that she was risking a lot, and that if by any chance Mary, Summer or I got moved, I would never forgive her, and that she would wreck my grade 8 year. I haven't been in the same class as Mary or Summer since grade 4, and if she was in my place and me in hers, she would understand how I'm feeling. She just said that if that happened she would do anything to make me forgive her 'cause she knows I wouldn't. But here's the thing...

There is nothing she can do to make me forgive her, except stay in Mrs Kipes class.

And so the drama has started.

After dinner my Dad and I went to the library and came home. It wasn't a very eventful trip, I mean I did get 2 books, even though I already have 7 at home and a bookcase full. Don't look at me the way you are looking at the screen!

Just to make one thing perfectly clear, if Jenna moves, I will hate her forever, I will never get to hang with Mary, and I will be forced to be partners with Summer whenever we have group projects. I know it might sound mean, but Jenna always has to get what she wants. She doesn't need to switch classes; she wants to.

In grade 6 I was in a class with none of my friends and I survived, it was one of my favourite classes ever! I just don't want to be with her, she just will wreck it for me, cause I was so, so, so excited to be in a class, with Summer, and Mary. No Jenna, it may be mean, but it is the truth, she never lets me hang with them.

They are my friends too, and no matter how mean it is, I hope they don't let her switch classes, I mean she's one of my BFF's but, I want to hang with my other friends, nobody else switched because they didn't have their friends. I just hate how it seems like she has to get what ever she wants!
