I blinked my eyes. It was six in the morning. Drat. I had to go to school today. Not that I don't want to go to school. It's just that I hate getting up at six in the morning. I sat up on my bed. Looked over at my sister. Sound asleep. Like always. I yawned. This was going to be a long day. I forced myself to get up. I grabbed the clothes I picked out yesterday and headed for the bathroom. I don't like to get changed in my room because in the morning my sister is right there and I don't want to change in front of her. That is why I always bring my clothes into the bathroom. I just put them on after I take a shower.
At like 6:15 I came out of the bathroom and went downstairs. I walked into the kitchen seeing my brother, Cameron(15), watching the news. I went into the kitchen and opened the cabinet. I took out the cereal and poured myself a bowl. I took my cereal into the living room and sat down on the couch. I watched as the weatherman or meteorologist or something like that told us about the weather. As far as I was concerned, in March there are a few showers and mostly days that have a lot of white puffy clouds.
Twenty minutes later I yelled upstairs for my sister to come down. That is just like Caitlyn. Always staying upstairs until only a couple minutes are left before we go out to the bus stop. She comes down eats a granola bar or something. My other brother, Freddie (Cameron's twin brother. Younger by like 10 minutes), isn't so bad. He stays in his room but comes out to have a decent breakfast. Oh, did I tell you Caitlyn is in the sixth grade. She is kind of annoying. Thinks she is so great because she got a boyfriend before me. I mean Sam isn't that great. All he does is come to our house, eats then leaves. He only takes her to movies so they can make out. I looked at the time on the TV. It was already 6:40. We needed to leave.
I grabbed my backpack and yelled upstairs, "Caitlyn it's time to go."
"I'm coming." Sarah yelled down. "You don't need to freak out because we are going to be one second late leaving for the bus stop."
"I wasn't freaking out." I argued with her. "I was just telling you that it was time to go." I walked out the door. You know how sisters can be always argueing about little things. I mean the other day we got in an arguement because I said that some people always eat sandwiches on hamburger buns. I mean I don't know anybody who does but there has to be people out there who do. I'm sorry. I shouldn't argue about something that stupid.
When the bus came I walked on and sat where I usually sit. On the left side five seats down. I don't have any of my friends on my bus so I just stare out the window. I mean
Ashley is okay but she sits with my sister Caitlyn. Anyways, nobody talks on the bus until the high school students get off and in the afternoon on the bus ride home.
20 minutes later we all got off the bus and went into the school. We live in a pretty small town if you will call it that. We live in Maine. We live in a small town called Brooks. I know you have never heard of it. It is a very cozy town. We go to school at Reeds Brook Middle School. They have grades 6-8 there. My brothers go to Mountain Brook High School. My sister and I will go there also. So anyways we got off the bus and went into the middle school. Everyone has to sit in the auditorium and wait for the first bell to ring.
I sat down next to one of my friends, Sarah. "Hi Sarah."
Sarah looked up from her Ipod. "Hi Jamie."
We talked to eachother until the bell rang. Everybody got up and went out the door. It is very hard to squeeze 200 kids through two doors. After I got through that diaster, I went to get my stuff for my classes. I did my combination. It is so easy you can't forget it. It is 15 10 20. Isn't that easy to remeber. After I got my stuff I went to my chill time or home room as some schools call it. I had Ms. Jacobs for a chill time teacher. She is a really nice teacher. I had her last year for a six grade math teacher.
I walked into our chill time to see the boys, Liam, Cory, and Alex already on the computer. For the past two years they all have been going on it for chill time. The only boy in our chill time that doesn't waste his time on the computer was Rob. He is kinda cute, but I didn't really like him. I walked over to the desk in the top left corner and started to lean back in it. I didn't have any of my friends in my chill time so I just sat there. All the other girls, Diana, Rachel, and Harper talked to eachother. The only other girl in our chill time was Nicole. She was always late for chill time. She would come in just as the announcements were over.
Just as I had predicted, Nicole came in a second before the announcements were over. We all got up and went to our classes. I had math, english, and science before lunch. I'm in Pre-Algebra because I am pretty good with math. English is also fun. Our teacher is really funny and doesn't make us do a lot of work and only gives out a little homework. As for science. Well the teacher can be kind of strict and mean. She won't let us lean back in our chairs. And take it from somebody who does it everyday, it is very hard not to lean back in your chair when you automatically do it. I've gotten into so much troble by her. I had to go down to the office once but luckily I didn't get in trouble.
Lunch is great. I can sit and talk with my friends. After I got pizza from the cafeteria I went to sit with my friends. All of my friends were Sarah (from the auditorium), Carly, Megan, Tyler, and Jake. Yes I am friends with boys. Jake is really stupid. I mean really stupid. We always joke that he belongs in preshool instead of seventh grade. Tyler, he went to the school I used to go to and when he came to Brooks we just became friends again. He is really nice. Kind of smart to. People always tell me that he likes me more than a friend. He is just my friend and I have never thought of him as more than a friend. He may like me but it is okay. If he asks me out I'll turn him down though. Megan is a cheerleader. I know everybody says that cheerleaders are really mean people but Megan is nice. Carly can be kind of gross and a tom boy. She always eat like aboy. I mean she will stuff her mouth with food and then talk with her mouthful. We tell her to stop but she won't listen. Sarah reads a lot and always has a book with her.
