On Wednesday, I wrote my friend DQ a letter and she wrote back in the same class period. We wrote them all the time in middle school, and it's just ... nice to know that someone is willing to not pay attention to our English teacher {with her tendency to call on random people} just to think of things they want to say to me.
Yesterday, I had tons of fun in French performing a play. Here it is! It was hilarious and we got laughs from the class, but even though I wrote most of it and it wasn't that great, it was great to do that with my French buddies. I didn't have French buddies last year, and I've enjoyed my French class all the more. OK, in part it's Madame Tyler, my fun and funny prof, but still.
Later that day I went to the football game that was my school vs. my old-school-where-most-of-my-friends-are-at, and my band teacher intimidated me into not ditching PEP. But then again, I had a dance party with my friends Piper and Emily, and we laughed and joked and complained about how we were so tired and we were freezing. {I was wearing flip-flops. Worst decision ever.}
However, I had third quarter free so I went over to the other side, and once my pals saw me they hugged me, which relieved me of some of my coldness. It was great just standing there smiling my widest and laughing and belonging and being embraced, even if it was only for a few minutes.
And today, I played kickball in PE and my team lost, but we were happy anyway. I remember Coach gathering us together in the end, saying, "Raise your hands if you smiled or laughed at all during the game." I shared glances with a girl named Myla, who was next to me in line whenever our team managed to squeeze three outs out of the winning one, and we both giggled. We kind of fail kicked.
Anyhow, every hand was raised. Then Coach said, "Now keep your hand up if you think you're bad at kickball."
Most hands went up; then Coach said, "Okay, now raise your hand if you had fun anyway." And you know what? We were all touching the sky.
I ate lunch with various friends today, and we ended up standing in the lunchroom laughing and laughing. The best thing was that I really didn't care if anybody saw me, because I was happy. I WAS HAPPY!!!! I've never had such a great day in this school so far.
And in Biology, Piper and Kira and I tried to smother our laughs as we quoted the ASDF movies, ate the goldfish Kira brought, and just did whatever. We all agree that Biology is pretty much our best class because even though sometimes we're stuck doing things like watching this freakin' UGH cell video, we're together and we're friends. I love that class because I'm wearing my smile all the time.
I was worried that a new school with older people would make it harder because everybody has their friends already, but now I have all these wonderful friends and it hasn't even been two months. It took me a whole year to form the friendships with the people at my old school, but this time it was so quick, but so great.
They're not the same; they're never the same. I miss my old friends more than ever, especially Pepper, but I'm just so happy that I have real friends at school now. Real friends who are just like Pepper & pals ... real friends whom I can do anything with and still enjoy it. Real friends who make me laugh, make me smile, make me randomly burst into song and nerdy quotes. Real friends who keep me warm.
That's what friends are for. So make one.
