Kendall's POV (Point Of View)
"Okay honey, do you have everything?" Mom asked me as I put on my backpack.
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Alright Kendall! Good luck on your first day of grade 12 and your new school." Her eyes were shimmering with excitement. I wasn't sure if she was going to hug me or start crying… maybe both.
As I expected, she pulled me into a big bear hug, squeezing me until I couldn't breathe.
"Mom… It's just school." I said as I gently pulled away.
"I know but… big things happen in grade 12." She had a weird look on her face that confused me. What big things? It's just grade 12. Just another year of high school. Yes, there's graduation, but by the look on her face, something told me that she meant other big things.
"COME ON!" Katie yelled. "I'm going to be late for school. Let's go!" And she pushed me out the door.
As we were walking to school, questions kept running through my head. What was this new school going to be like? Any interesting kids? But more importantly, what big things were going to happen?
