Personal Narrative: Being Alone At Harrow Middle School

At Harrow Middle School, I sit alone at lunch eating my wonderful tasting peanut sandwich, with no jelly, of course. I have been getting used to sitting alone, but a couple friends would be nice, I mean it would be WONDERFUL to have some more friends. But don’t get me wrong, eating alone is pretty fun, too.
