Middleton, what is it about?

Middleton, a school in Philadelphia. Sucky weather and even suckier people. But hey, that doesn't stop the many, many families from deciding to move to Philadelphia, and furthermore, deciding to put their kids in the school, Middleton. Middleton goes from 9th to 12th grade, so, yep you guessed it, high school. The 10th grade of Middleton was even more special. The 10th grade has decent teachers, they know how to do their job and to do it to the best they can. They aren't perfect, one of them sells drugs to his own students, but no ones really perfect. The other teachers like are ok, a few yell, scream, act like they're doing it because it's what "a teacher does," but in reality they just need people to take their anger out on, it happens to everyone, some teachers can be real assholes and push it to the max. But excluding those few teachers it's decent. The students are different though. You can't control how someone acts, you might try to enforce pain to change someone, or scare them into whatever "truth" you might believe, but truly, what goes on inside their head you can't control. Almost everyone drinks, does drugs, lots and lots of fights. But if you really look into the cracks of all the kids you can really see who is different and who are alike. The ones who smoke and drink everyday, their eyes have nothing, have you ever seen a sparkle in someone's eyes? Or even when you, yourself, are staring at something you like or you want, and it just seems your eyes light up with happiness, or when you hear something that breaks your heart and your eyes squint with fear, for you feel alone, total isolation. The type of people in the grade, more specifically, some definetly more interesting than others, the ones that you would notice right away, I think it's time to learn about some of them, it's Middleton isn't it?
