So, we get on the bus and since its only after 6:30 am and it not even 7:00 am either. So, our bus drivers told us to be quite on the bus in the morning. We have a few more stops to pick up teenagers for school. We took the high schooler to Tri-Valley High School to get drop off first. So, the bus drivers can take us Tri-Valley Middle School and we get drop off at the middle school. We got told by Mr., Emmett goes to the in lunchroom wait for it time to go home room. We cannot go to our home room in till 7:45 am, that when we can start the day at school. For we knew it the bell ring for us to go to our home rooms class and our lockers before the bell ring and then we are late to get to our home rooms class. My home room teacher to sit down and listen up. Our home room teacher is telling us about the school rules and all I am thinking that I am not going to following the school rules at all. Mrs. Georgia our is our home room teacher told us that Mr. Emmett is our new dean at Tri-Valley Middle School this school year. Mr. Emmett walk in my home room class and said to all of us. I hope that we won’t have a problem this year. Of, course I said out loud “yea right”. Mr. Emmett said are you going to be a problem this year. Getting into fights even and I did not say nothing at all to Mr. Emmett! Etta is my friend we been friends since I move here when we were in grade school and now, we are in middle school together. Etta said Valerie can you believe that we are in middle school now. “Yes, I can believe it we are in the middle school now we are in 7th grade now. Etta and I walk to classes together this year. Etta and I had science class together, so when the bell ring for us to us to go for our first class for the day. That when we walking to the science classroom, when some came up to us and told us that Viola was in our science class with us. Etta and I went in the classroom and had a site at a table with two boys and then Viola walks in the classroom and had a site right beside our table. The science teacher said have a site and be quite it time to get class started. He started out saying his name is Mr. Tim and will be your science teacher this year and this purple textbook is your first science textbook this year make sure you bring your textbook to class every day to class. You must turn in your homework in when its due on time. Of, course Viola is in my science class. She had to the table us and she started running her mouth on me. The first time I told Viola nicely to leave me alone. Viola told me that she do not have to leave me alone, and that what started the war 3 between her and I. Form that day on I know that I will have to fight her in school. But Mr. Tim told me to be nice when I am in his classroom, and I was thinking to myself that I am not going to be nice to Viola at all. Because she wants to run her mouth on me first and I am going to put the stop to it. Before we knew it, the bell rings for us to change classes now! Etta and I is going to our lockers, so that we can get our gym clothes out of our lockers. We gout our gym clothes and Etta and I started to walk to the gym locker room, so we can change into our gym clothes. We went to the gym with the other kids for gym. Gym teacher said “come in and sit down and quite down, so I can tell you, my rules. My name is Miss Wren, and I am the 7th grade gym teacher this year, and you guys will run around the school 5 times then come back into the gym.” She told us to go change back into our school clothes. Then next moment we know the bell ring for us to change to our next class. I am going to the 2nd floor where my locker is at, and my 3rd class is on the 2nd floor. I took my time to go get to my locker to put my gym clothes in my locker and go to history class. I am 1 minute late to history class, but the teacher said that she will let it go this one time, because it is the first day of school. She told the hole class to sit and get quiet, so she can get class started. Then she said my name is Mrs. Green and I am your history teacher this year and here is your history textbook make sure that you bring your textbook every day to class, and you will have homework tonight. You do the vocabulary and definition on pages 30 to 39 and its due tomorrow when you came back to class. Then once again the bell ring to change classes again. Etta and I going to the 1st floor for our 3rd class. We are talking in the hall, when Mr. Emmett came up and told us to get to class before we are late to class. He asks us what class are we going right now? Etta and I said that we are going to tech class right now! Mr. Emmett said that class is on there side of the school, so you guys better get moving, so that you guys are not late to tech class. We move faster to get there on time and load be hold there is viola in our tech class with us. Etta this is not this is not going to turn out good with viola in our tech class I said. Then the tech teacher said sit down and be quite and let’s get class started. “My name is Mr. Bells, and I am your tech teacher. I am going to tell you about my rules in my classroom. There will not be no fighting in my class and when I am taking you do not talk over me okay.” Just then then the bell ring and I knew it was time to change classes again. Etta has English now and I have math class now. Viola is in a different class from Etta and I and who really care what class what class she has right now. But I walk Etta to the 2nd floor to English and walk back down to the 1st floor to the math class. I just a few minutes late to class. Math teacher said told us be quite and site down and listen up to her. She said “I want you to be on time to my class and if not, I am going to write you up and send you to Mr. Emmett office and he will deal with you being late to my math class. Do you guys get that? And by the way my name is Mrs. Blue I am your math teacher. Mrs. Blue said, “Let’s get start learning math.” We are going to solve a problem 1y+6=y we need to find what the Y and at this point I am in my own world now. Then I hear that I have math homework tonight and then said the homework due tomorrow when we come to math class. I am looking at the clock seconds for the bell rings, then it will be lunch time for my friends and I. That when the bell rings. Etta and I meet at the lockers to put our stuff in the locker so that we don’t have in the lunchroom with us. We are heading down to the lunchroom and that when I was George for the first time, I told Etta I am going have him as my boyfriend before the end of the school year. She asks him where he is going? He said, “said he is going to the lunchroom”! Etta said, “said her and I is heading to the lunchroom ourselves too”. He sits with football team. My friends and I sit at the table by the football players. I have some friends on the football team ad will. But then Viola came in the lunchroom with her friends and sit down by my table. Viola and her friends sit down and already taking people on the first day of school. She was already talking trash about my friends and I. So I got up from my table and went over to Viola table and ask her nicely to stop talking trash about my friends and me please and thank you. Dean Mr. Emmett came up and ask if there was a problem and I said “no” and went back to my table with my friends. My friends said “I cannot believe that you went to Viola and told off like that”. Mr. Emmett came up to and said, “I want to talk to you”. Sure, I said, what do you want. He said “there is no bully in Tri-Valley Middle School you got it and understand that rule. I said “yes, Sr I understand that. But I am not going to put up with the bully me and my friends. He said, “if you have a problem with someone you come to me and let me know and I will deal with that person for you okay”. Um yea I got it okay I said. Then the bell ring for us to go to our next class. All I can think and say to myself when I was walking to my locker to get my afternoon classes stuff and I say to myself I know this school year is not going to be good for me. Of course, Viola locker must below my locker. So, I try not to say anything to Viola al all. Viola got rude with me She told me that I need to get out of her way so she can get her stuff and so she can get to class on time, because she doesn’t care that I am late to my class. Then said “I do hope that you are late to your class Valerie, because you will never make anything out of yourself. At that point I wanted to hurt at that point so bad. But I will try to let it go for now. I got my stuff out of my locker and I started to walk to my English class. I started feel depression already.
