i have already used a messenger bag at 6th grade and i didnt really mind but since im going to middle school i was wondering. i also saw a nice plaid backpack i liked at target but it was $30. its kinda unfair cuz since my familys broke my mom gets really mad if i want a backpack worth that much and we're moving.

I'd say go with the Xhilaration one. It looks like it has a good amount of storage and a comfortable strap. Not having a locker makes it even more important to find a bag with lots of storage and a good size. A backpack will be kinder on your back/shoulders, though. Maybe you can make a compromise with your mother for the plaid backpack you liked? A good bag is always a great staple. Best wishes with the move.
