expected middle school to be serious, and harsh. When I walked though the doors, everyone was rushing from their lockers to there class. I tried to get out of everyone’s way, but it was almost impossible. People were laughing, and throwing pieces of paper. One hit my head and I picked it up. It was a schedule. “Hey! That’s mine!” said a voice. Then someone snatched the schedule out of my hand. I turned around and a boy was looking at me right in the eye. “Umm… sorry I didn’t mean to…” I said. “No don’t be sorry, it was all my fault.” He said back to me. And at that moment, I felt that feeling. That feeling that made you fly off your feet and into the sky. Like when you have butterflies in your stomach. And from that moment on, I knew that maybe 6th grade won’t be so bad. “Uh… I’m Lucy” I said as I shook his hand. “I’m Jason.” He said. And we stood there. Looking into each others eyes, smiling. But then he took his hand away to look at his watch. “Umm… sorry, I need to go. I’ve got gym in like 2 minutes. Sorry, but ill see you later Lucy! “Uh… ok. See you later Jason.” I said softly. And I stood there shocked. Wanting to spend all my time with him. But sadly the bell rang. Time for algebra.
Chapter 2
Next period just started. As soon as
Lucy walked in her teacher greeted her. “Students, we have a new member for our class! She came all the way from Manhattan! And her name is… wait, sweetie what is your name?” My teacher asked. “Oh, my name is Lucy.” “What a wonderful name! Lucy, do you know your way around school?” My teacher asked. “No. No, not really.” “Well that’s ok! We can have one of my students show you around! Anyone want to volunteer?” Half of the students in the class shot their hands up. Then Mrs. Johnson called on a hand in the back “Oh… yes Mr. Smith can you escort Lucy around the school?” The hand in the back stood up. It turned out it was Jason! I felt like dancing! So I did! I took Mrs. Johnson and started to dance with her! “Lucy! Lucy, dear what are you doing?!” She nearly shouted. Lucy stopped dancing. Mrs. Johnson was so dizzy that she was wobbly the first time she stopped dancing! In the background I could hear Jason laughing. I blushed, and then the bell rang.
Chapter 3
Jason guided me around the school
while telling me where all the class rooms were. After about 2 hallways into the tour, I drained out of the conversation. I started thinking about me and him together. But I started to daydream also. So I wasn’t looking where I was going, so I walked into a object. It was very big and hard. Almost like a brick wall. Then I heard a deep voice yelling at me! “You stupid twit! Watch where you’re going!” Yelled the voice. I turned around a this huge girl with a backpack pushed me. When I ran up to catch up with Jason he told me all about the huge girl. “She’s monster Macy! She’s the biggest, and the only girl in the football team. She was know to break a guys neck and wrist just by throwing him at a window!” He said. “Really?! What did he do to piss her off?” I asked? “He said her real name. Berga Witson! What a name huh?!” He told me. “Yeah totally!” I said back. As we continued the tour, I kept thinking about that girl. Why was she so mean? And will I be safe the rest of the school year?
Chapter 4
I was walking to class when I saw a
girl crying. She looked like a 6th grader and had bright blonde hair. While I was walking I was thinking why she was so sad. But then I slipped in something slimy, and green. “Ewww!” I yelled. “I’m so sorry! I dropped my science project on the floor.” said a weary voice. I turned around and the girl crying was looking straight at me. Suddenly she came to help me. “Let me give you a hand.” She said as she helped me up. But then she slipped and we both fell into the slime! And we laughed, and threw slime at each other. Until I reached out my slimy hand and introduced myself. “Hi! I’m Lucy!” I said with a laugh. “I’m Stacie!” she said back. That moment I had a true friend (except for Jason.) So that day we were true friends. “Which class are you heading to now?” she asked me. “Gym. Hate it, but it’s now optional.” I replied back. “Me too!” she said excitedly. When we got to gym, we had track. So me and Stacie talked while we had track. I asked her about Jason, so she told me all about him. “Jason has been living here since st 1 grade. He’s keeper of the soccer team, and he’s soooo hot! I would date him if I could, but it’s almost impossible to. So I’ll have to live for now.” Stacie told me. “Oh well.” I said with a sigh.
Chapter 5
School was just getting better! I
had a friend, crush, and a bully on my back. Not bad for only 4 weeks of 6th grade. Then all the sudden I got instantly popular. People were high-fiving me randomly, and talking to me more often. At first I thought it was strange, but I started to like it. Even Jason started walking around with me and holding my hand! “Hey Lucy! Wait up!” Called Jason. I stopped and turned around. Jason was running and weaving though people. Then he walked next to me and held my hand! “Hi Jason” I said. But then I heard a voice calling me. Almost like Jason was. “Hey, Lucy wait up!” said the voice. It was Stacie rushing down the hallway. Me and Jason stopped walking a just stared at her. “So, what did I miss?” asked Stacie. I gave her that look that said STOP TALKING! “Oh… I’ll just go. Well catcha later Lucy!” Stacie said in a slow exited voice. When she left, I just looked at Jason in an embarrassed look. He said that its all right and that he kind of likes Stacie too. “Really? Oh I didn’t know I’m…” But then I was interrupted by Jason. “Were just friends… I think.” Jason said. “Good.” I said back accidentally. “Huh? How would that be a problem?” He wondered. “Nothing.” I said quickly. RING! RING! RING! “Oh, well see you tomorrow! Bye Lucy!” “Bye Jason.” I said sadly. And that was the end, of one of my favorite days. Chapter 6
As I walked home I wondered those
few words Jason said. Those words made me feel suspicious. The words echoed in my head, “were just friends. I think.” I THINK! HOW COULD HE SAY I THINK!? What if he really likes Stacie and not me?! I felt really jealous, as if a knife had been punched though my heart. So instead of doing my homework, I just lay in bed. Thinking if he did like her. At first I thought no way! But then I thought about the look on his face as she looked him in the eye. He looked as if the most beautiful thing in the world had said I love you. I was mad, but not only mad… I felt as if I hated my best friend. So I went to sleep. The next morning in school I was pissed. I walked though the halls with anger on my face. Then I saw Stacie across the hall. So I ran up to her and started to yell. “Oh hey Lucy!” said Stacie. “HOW COULD YOU LOVE JASON?” I yelled. “I don’t! I have a boyfriend! It’s Jeremy from science class! Geez Lucy get a grip of yourself!” Stacie said. “Look I’m sorry. I just want him all to myself.” I said to Stacie. “I will forgive you this once. Only because its love your confused about. And I understand. Friends?” She asked. “Friends for ever!” I corrected. And that was the end of that good day. More and more people were talking to me and high-fiving me. Even a couple people said I was really cool. Then when I was getting my geometry books out of my locker, when someone slammed the locker shut. Behind the locker was a girl. “You little devil! You think that YOU can just skip around stealing my popularity, DON’T YOU?!” screamed the girl. “Uh, I don’t know what your talking about and who you are so I’m confused.” I said back. “I’m Molly. The most popular girl in school. The only girl who was the looks, money, AND fashion taste that CANT be replaced.” She yelled back at me. “Umm… well nice to meet you Molly!” I said back. “You better watch out, or ELSE!” She said as she walked away. From then on I was NEVER a friend to that girl.
