"Hiro!" I called out to my cousin who I haven't seen all summer, he looked up and I rushed over.
"Aren't you excited to be starting middle school?! I know I am!" I said enthusiastically.
"It's just school, Kisa. You'll get sick of it soon enough. You'll realize its just like elementary school but with more work." He said not even making eye contact.
I put my head down, "I don't think so...it'll be fun...thats what mom said..."
"Oh yeah? Well she's a parent, of course she said that! I'll see you later," and with that he walked off, and left me standing there.
I wonder what got him in such a bad mood...its almost seemed like he wanted nothing to do with me...
I began to walk with my head down inside the building, I thought I heard some girls snickering but I didn't think it was about me so I just continued walking to my classroom. When I opened the door I noticed Hiro was already there, he looked surprised then looked away. He was already sitting by someone.
I walked up to a girl who was speaking to a few other girls, "Um...excuse me...is this seat taken?" I asked shyly.
The girl gave me a really mean look then threw her backpack on the seat, "Well what does it look like?"
"Oh...I'm...sorry..." I said and found a seat in the back corner by myself. The girls looked over and began laughing and whispering.
Well this year wasn't starting off as I expected it. During passing period I saw Hiro by his locker and walked over, "Hey Hiro."
"Can't talk now, I gotta get to class." Then he walked away, I sighed and made my way towards my classroom.
Then the girl from earlier saw me, "Hey is that your natural hair color?" She asked holding back laughter.
"Yes, it is." I said wondering what was so funny.
"You poor thing, my moms a soloist so stop by anytime," she said and walked inside the classroom laughing.
Why was she being so mean to me? I didn't do anything to her...did I?
With that I walked inside and all the girls stared at me, "So Mai you really told her that?" One girl spoke loudly.
Mai laughed, "Well I just love helping the needy."
"I can't control what color my hair is," I said sternly and holding back tears.
"We've noticed," she said causing her "group" to laugh. Even some boys snickered.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I hate it here! This is the worst first day ever! How will the rest of the year turn out?
It felt like ages till the bell finally rang. After school instead of waiting for Hiro I ran home, and then went straight to my room and cried.
6th grade sucks!
