Ms. Lingard and Bonikah Galleta, two of the only people who were nice to me at Rocky village middle school.
Ms. Lingard was my seventh -grade English teacher. I used to call her the dragon Lady, but she turned out to be human after all. She was also the one who got me into Lesotho high school, before my big plans went down the garbage disposal.
As for Bonikah, she was nice to everyone, so I don't even know if that counts. When I told her I'd try to keep in touch, she said I could leave a message on her RVMS student page. Was that a good sign? You tell me. I don't exactly have a ton of experience with girls. Or friends. Much less …girlfriends. Still, if there was one person I was going to miss, it was Bonikah.
So if you haven't guessed by now, it's not like I was leaving some kind of perfect track record in Rocky village. Which is maybe the understatement of the year.
And if you want to know what I mean, just check out the next chapter.
