Emily Jones:Don't forget to be awesome! Book #1

Emily Jones
It's not like I just moved to a new school and I now have the struggle of making new friends, it's just I don't have very many. I've been going to Franklin Park Elementary since kindergarten. This year is my last year, my fifth grade year! I've heard it's hard, and I've heard it's awesome! I just don't know which one to believe. This year is all about new adventures, the teachers say. Although, the only thing the kids in my grade are excited for are having our own locker.
Something I've never really worried about are boys. I've just never really had an interest in them. Sure, my best friend might be one, but I never had feelings for him either. It really caught my eye though when my friend May said she got asked out by her crush Alex. So now May has a boyfriend. It's usually now just me and my best friend Kyle.
My mom doesn't understand who I am I guess. She wants to help me with homework, I'm pretty smart so I can do it on my own. She wants to talk about boys with me, I tell her I'm not interested in them and continue to do what I was doing. She also wants to always invite friends over, I don't want to meet new people by having them spend the night when I'm fine with my two friends May and Kyle. She won't leave me alone about any of it though.
Thanks for reading,
