Sometimes it's hard to let go. This is one of those times. Not only do I have to leave some of my friends but I also must start a new life without them. My first day in middle school. 6th grade. Well, at least I still have Zoey with me.

Zoey Queen has been a good friend of mine since 1st grade. In 4th grade was when we got close. We've been best friends ever since.

My name is Vanessa Campos and I am not looking forward to middle school.

Right now, I'm in my first period waiting for the bell to ring. I already went to homeroom (which I don't have with Zoey) and right now I am sitting beside Zoey. The bell rings and we walk out.

Zoey has the same classes I do except for homeroom so we walk to our next class together talking about random stuff. As we walked we were joined by Lizbeth.

Lizbeth Osler is a girl I met in summer school. During summer, the students got to go to summer school to meet the school. Oh, and to also learn how middle school was going to be like.

We entered our class and took our seats. Lizbeth took her seat beside a girl I did not know. Zoey and I sat at the other side of the classroom with Zoey behind me.

I watched carefully the other students as they came in. I recognized some from my old school. Others I recognized from summer school. Like Austin for instance. In summer school, they split us up into groups and Austin was in mine. That is how I met Lizbeth too. Anyways, I know enough about him to know that he is very annoying.

As Austin came in he was talking with a boy that I didn't recognize. Something about this boy made me think of Bianca Flores, another girl that I met in summer school. I don't think too much about it. It's clear that the boy is as annoying as Austin.

I played more attention to the other students trying to figure out some of them.

My second period (which is the class I'm in at the moment) is orchestra. I guess I forgot to mention that I play the violin.

After second-period came lunch. We had to sit in one of two tables assigned for your third period. Lizbeth was in it and so was Zoey.

''Okay Vanessa and Zoe this is my best friend Lindy. You probably saw her during our second period'', said Lizbeth. She had just arrived at the table with the girl from second-period.

"Yeah, I saw her,"I said. In the corner of my eye, I could see the friend of Austin sitting at the other table. Great. Another class with him.

We went to third-period which was also fourth-period. It was ELA and it is 2 periods in one class.

Then it was time for fifth-period. There I met a very interesting girl named Mia Levesque. Once again I saw Austin's friend and I found it weird to see him again since I've already seen enough of him throughout the whole day. My fifth period is Science. Then it was sixth-period. Gym.

Before I know it, I am in seventh period, the final period and class of the day. I am so happy that the day is almost over. This friend of Austin's is apparently very smart. All my classes are Pre-AP and he has the same classes I do except for Social Studies. He has his Social Studies class at a different time. My seventh period is math and is also one of my favorite subjects. People say that math is hard but I've always found it easy. When the bell rang I walked out of the class with Zoey.

Zoey and I went outside to wait for our rides to arrive. Zoe left first and then I did. My ride is the friend of my mom who has a child that is in seventh grade. His name is Lucas Tollway and he is the most annoying person on earth.

Other than that, I don't think that middle school is so bad after all.

There is a picture of Vanessa up there for you guys to see!
