The first day of Junior High is full of anxiety.

Oh no this is terrible. This is just terrible; It is my first day at William Jennings Jr. High School. I have been worrying about this day for 3 months but a letter I received 2 weeks before school started has really caused my stomach to knot up and my breathing to go eratic.

I couldn’t believe it! Did that say bring a towel and a change of clothes? Do they expect me to shower with all of these older kids? Have you ever seen Jr. High Kids they are huge. They are monstrous. Oh my God I am doomed.
My map shows that my first hour class is in room c 8. Apparently the building is divided into four sections a, b, c, and d that is easy enough. Ok the library is in the middle I have got that. Now I am in front of section b. do I go left or right. North which way is north. Couldn’t they put a damn sign up in the hallways. Oh my god these kids are huge. They aren’t kids at all they are more like adults but meaner and covered with acne. I should just ask someone.
“Excuse me where is room c8?”
“it’s in C section you retard.”
“uh where is C section.”
“Look at your map idiot.”
Well that didn’t help. Not even a little. Ok 50/50 chance, there is a pretty girl I think I will go that way. Wow I didn’t know there would be so many girls in Jr. High. I mean in 6th grade we had girls but these are women. This might not be so bad.
