Chapter 1 Summer before school

Vanessa: "mom I don't want to go. We are going to move again anyway so why bother getting to know this town." "Vanessa Ontario is beautiful and this job is a lot more stable then my other ones." Said Vanessa's mom. We are suppose to be going downtown to get to know people, stores and our area. Then my mom said she booked a meeting with my new principal and I will get a tour of the school. "Fine I will go but let me grab my book." I told my mom. As we drove downtown I saw girls that looked about my age walking towards a little store called "Nancy's" I turned to the other side so they couldn't see me and I started reading. After we walked around a while we went into the bistro and had lunch. Boy was it good!! When we pulled up at "meadow lands" I started to get nervous because I am shy when it comes down to trying new things and meeting new people. It's kind of shocking because I have moved schools 6 times in 9 years including kindergarden. Once we got to the office a nice secretary looked at me and said "Vanessa?" "Yes" I replied "super Mr Swanson is waiting in his office for you." Said the nice secretary Mrs smith. Once we started talking to mr Swanson he told me that he saw my grades and he is sure that I will do great in this school. Also if I like sports they offer many sports teams all years round. I guess this school might not be that bad. " how is the library?" I asked "great he said there are 3 different clubs for books and our library has a great selection. Here are the different clubs
1. Book club (which is where you read a book at home and then the club talks about it at the next meeting)
2. A club called books (where you share great books with one another and you can read at recess in the library)
3. Finally a club called book team (this club is preparing you for book competitions against other schools)
Now let's start the tour."
Once we finished touring the school we signed some forms and my mom and I went home.

Alicia: I wake up extra early today and ride my bike to the public library to get new books before summer is over. I filled my bag with books and started reading the second I got home. My parents left for work already so I had the whole house to myself perfect for reading! Once I finished one of my books I made lunch and counted to see if I had enough money to buy a new outfit for back to school and the new book series coming out. Luckily enough I did I had $150 total from the babysitting job I do. The book series cost $45 including tax and my outfit will probably cost $60 including tax so I will have $45 left in my bank account. I called my mom and told her I was going to take the bus to the mall downtown and go in the indigo and shop for clothes. She said "make sure you call me when you get home" I said I won't be out after 4 and off I went.

Samantha: So I woke up at 10 and went to the mall like almost everyday in the summer. But at 2pm I think I like saw Alicia. She like never goes to the mall!! And I was like "what are you doing here." Then she was like "I am shopping for a new outfit for back to school." And I was like "you can't buy that in your hand cause like I already bought that!" Then after she left I walked around some more and left the mall.

Kai: This summer I have tried to pack it with my academics because last year I only studied for one month. So in the last week of summer I am in a camp about math! Boy I love math!! The thing is I think I already know everything they are go into teach us so what's the point of going? But my mom said that "you never know until you try it."
So here I am going to math camp this morning in a bus with these stupid kids!!! What am I in for? Why can't school just start already.

Josh: this summer has been sick!! I have played so many sports like soccer, basketball, I surfed, swam, water skied, wake boarded and did a million other things! The only thing I am looking forward to after summer is Samantha, Samantha's hot friends and the sports teams!!! I hope Samantha or her friends are in my class!! I need someone to stare at a be partners with all year. Although being partners with Kai is never a bad thing either. He thinks he is better then everyone so he does all he work BONUS right? The only thing I am not looking forward to is learning. But I guess I will make it through the year some how.

Taylor: I hope this year is different, I want to be accepted with Samantha I want to be popular! But if everything's the same as last year they won't even notice me. Is it because I am smart and they are not? Why don't they like me!! Well I will just have to wait until school starts to find out where I stand this year.

Diana: so like this summer was different in some ways. Like obvi I was with Samantha cause like we are like sisters! But the different part of this summer were my parents. They like split up like 3 years ago but like I kept hearing them like on the phone. But what eves I can't wait to own the 7th grade with Samantha. And I know this might be hard but I want to hang out with just josh. Cause like he is so cool and good at everything a popular boy should be good at. Everything but school! Like me. I can't wait for summer to end.

Tim: this summer no different from any other. No friends no fun. Is it that I am weird or is it that I am shy. But all I know is I am lonely. My family is quiet ever since our incident and well I don't really have anyone. I don't know what I want I don't like summer and I don't like school. I don't really like anything I guess. I need help, I need friends, I need someone!

Mrs stone: the last week of summer. Me running around getting ready like any other teacher except I am new. New school, new staff and new places they keep things. So I brought most of my own. Although I am new here I want to make my students and staff like me and treat me like any other teacher or colleague. I want this year to be special and memorable.
