779 Words4 Pages

I find myself standing there, in an orange jumpsuit awaiting the decision from the twelve people who hold my life in their hands. How did I get here?

I fumble through my purse to find the keys to unlock the door while Sophie is yanking on the door handle angry at the fact that the door will not open. I unlock the car and motion Sophie into the seat and close the door behind

That issue was the fact that friends came very hard to me in my middle school years. Before my struggles at my middle school, Trafton, I had a very productive social life in the Elementary school I attended, Roberts Elementary. Here, it was very easy to make friends and have a great social life, since no hard work was required as a kid. Middle school, however, was a great challenge for me.

    The air had a certain smell to it. The fresh morning dew, the smell of the new blossoming flowers carried through the wind, the smell of fresh pies being set out to cool on the window ledge. It’s been almost 15 years since one of the most tragic things happened, and the smell is still the exact same. I smell it on the early mornings in the April, just as the winter is ending and a new spring is beginning. The morning was young and so was I. Only being 16 around that time I was on my way to a place I would have describe as the fiery depths of hell, or as others may have called it High School.
