Chapter 3: Pre Teen - 7th grade

The first day of middle school was just all around weird I didn't know anyone at this school. After some time going to classes I met a couple new people and discovered that Z transferred back into this new school. I usually stuck around him or my new soon to be best friend Kaitlynn. As the days went by I soon became "one of the cool kids" playing basketball,Cross country along with band I was always making myself busy. I was just trying to keep myself busy to avoid certain things that could've happened. 7th grade was more of making the connections you think you will have for the rest of your life. I thought I would be popular all years of school and have tons of friends. Towards the middle of 7th grade I became really geeky and had a blast with Kaitlynn and other friends. I felt like myself again but some people did hate me every time I talked to much. So I usually hid who I really was so I could blend in. The only person I could be my true self around was kaitlynn because she never judged me. We were only school friends and silly classmates I usually hung out with my basketball friends. Everyday during lunch for this entire year was playing basketball and practicing my trumpet on the weekends. I never really had time for friends outside of school because I was to scared to let my guard down in front of other people. Anytime I was sad because the bullying I went through I never told anyone. I kept it all bottled up to make everyone think that I was happy. As the days went by during my 7th grade year I was starting to learn about the people I could trust. I did occasionally get picked on by a couple of the 8th grade boys in my math class because they said they love me. But I didn't care because they always tried to hold my hand in class so I back handed one of them. Which made it a lot worse because they always tried any way to try and touch me. They said that I had big boobs and that is the only reason why they liked me they said my turn off was my face. Every time I turned them down they said that they were joking and said they wouldn't fall for someone as ugly as I was. This soon just died down on its own so I was relieved but the sad part was it only ended on the last week of school. All of that time in between was my everyday sports and music. 7th grade year was just really short for me and went by really fast. My 8th grade year was coming soon and all I had in between was the summer and I wanted to put myself out there more. The perfect time for me todo that was my 8th grade year. Because that was the next chapter I want to actually have fun in.
