When I started High school, unlike most people, I wasn't afraid of my first day. When it was lunch time I already had someone to go to lunch with and it wasn't someone I knew from my old school. I was really happy I had a good day but I felt and still do sometimes, alone, like I don't belong. It's hard transitioning from a school where you knew everyone like family and nobody hid anything, to a new school where your the new kid and everyone is family but you don't know anything about them so your that weird, creepy neighbor that mows their lawn six times a day with an old timey mower. So when I found someone that I could talk to with such ease and be able to pour my heart out, I started feeling better about being at High School. But not short after I started realizing that she wasn't going to be there for me forever and that soon she would be gone and besides that we were a year apart so she didn't realize how strange I felt because she had gone to middle school there. There was that little inkling of hope that I finally found that best friend that I was gonna live through High School with and then it was gone in a flash. High School is hard, you can't find friends fast and easy like I could at my old school, it takes a long time to get past all the lies and rumors and reputations to find that one or few people that are gonna be your inseperable friends. So the moral of my story is don't go in looking for a best friend, just wait you're gonna find your place in that crazy thing they call High School and you will no longer be that creepy, weird neighbor that mows their lawn six times a day with an old-timey mower.
