Life as a Middle Schooler

Chapter one: This is me

I'm going into middle school. That's right, you heard me, 6 grade. It means I'm leaving my old school and coming to a new one. Leaving behind my friends wasn't exactly the goal I had set for myself, but sometimes life sucks like that. Basically my plan is to make it through the year alive, though there is a pretty slim chance of that happening. I'd better make a will while I still can.

I have to admit, things could be worse. I could be going to the same school as that girl who still picks her nose and wipes her burgers on the desks even though everyone else stopped doing that in 2nd grade. I guess I should be grateful for that.

But there are still so many things I am going to face in middle school that I'd really rather not face, like the fact that I'll be stuck with the same teachers for 3 years. If one of my teachers is a total nut job, then I swear I'm going to go crazy and drop out of school. Or maybe the fact that detention will be given out plenty in middle school. Trust me, I'll be in detention so much that it will feel like a real class eventually. And don't even get me started on all the cussing the kids in middle school get into. Don't get me wrong, I've said a few words I wasn't proud of in my day just like anyone else I know, but in middle school, I'm surprised the teachers don't hear anything.

It's thankfully still summer time, but not for long. I have 3 days time until I have to go to my worst nightmare. Oh, by the way, I'm going to Tyral Middle School. It's a popular school, lots of kids are going there. Yet none of my friends are going there. Go figure. Oh, I'm a little sarcastic from time to time if you haven't noticed. But seriously, about 150 kids are new 6th graders there, not one is someone I really know. How does that happen?! Ok, so maybe there is 1 or 2 kids from my school, but they are kids that I've either never talked to, or haven't talked to in like 3 years.

As you can see, I have a very big socail life...NOT! I have no phone. Seriously though. I know, I know, kids my age have a whole other life on socail media. Well meet the only 11 year old on earth who doesn't have a phone. It's not like I'd be any better off with a phone anyway. I'd probably never do anything on it. But I can't tell you how many times I've heard the words "Here, I'll give you my number." Seriously, so annoying.

Ok, so I have 3 days to pull it all together. I have a big problem to face, and no one else to be by my side...Aww crap.
