Big Nate fanfiction. Nate isn't sure what he should think about high school when he starts. Sure, he's got great friends, an awesome band, and tons of super fun art classes to take; but he's wary of middle school, now high school bullies, increased pressure regarding grades, changing relationships, and all the usual chaos and calamity of being a freshman. High school turns out to be both exactly what he'd expected, and like nothing he'd ever prepared for.
