Grade Eight

I guess teachers lie, and that’s a fact! They say that high school is all grades, well I guess so but what are you going to put on your Juilliard application? Gets good grades, no extra-curricular? Lie #1 But before high school your in the little pond with little fish, most the size to still be carried by their parents. I don’t know what high schools like yet, so for now I’ll just explain the average day of a normal grade eight.

So basically half the school year has gone by. I've already been sorted into my clique out of the nerds, jocks, anti-socials, kids who think that they're the ones that everybody wants to date, future planners, drama queens, girls who cant survive a day without makeup, guys who own the place, and the usual teachers pet(s). Then the kids are placed into three rings popular, middleers, and outsiders. I'm the middle so I see both sides. Today made my stomach hurt from laughing so much. My friends and I (which I will often talk about) made a game to see who could make the best laughs,chicken noises, and best impressions  I of course won the best impressions because I am an 'actress in training.' A new kid came today, his name is Austin. Hes not really new he already went to my school when I was in grade six and he was in grade five. In less than five days is grade pictures and unfortunately my acne wants to be in the picture too. My parents say I have an obsession with pop and chocolate, and my friends say lip-gloss. I mean who can live without the warm, bubbly, fizzy, taste of Coca-Cola? So today during recces my group of friends and I went outside, everyone else was inside playing hockey or learning dance. I love the cold so I forced my friends that it would be fun. Other girls complained that 'its too cold out!' They are what we classify as girly girls as many of you would know if you've been in grade three. I said "ya okay its only -25 out and um we live in Canada!" How am I going to deal with this non-sense for another four and a quarter months? Now in this day and society those girls are the ones who post pictures on instagram of half their face, along with break-up, revenge,love, and I'm 'weird' quotes from tumblr. If they think they're weird they should watch me lick sap during recess. And that's what I don't get. At the beginning of the year everyone said that they were going to change their ways and reinvented themselves over summer to make it the best year ever! Well its kind of the worst. Everyone is acting like they have split personalities. Friend turning on friend,  boys dumping girls because they think that the bachelor life is awesome, girls getting odd piercings, and dying their hair colours I've never seen before? So all of those that are, going, and have been in grade eight...welcome to Hell.
