The first day of tryouts at my new high school was going extremely well. Socializing on the sideline‚ I thought‚ “Maybe high school isn’t going to be that bad after all.” However‚ The last drill of the day destroyed my hopes for making the lacrosse team.

When I was in fifth grade‚ I had my very first fight. It wasn’t exactly my choice‚ and I would have prefered to escape this particular fight‚ but that wasn’t an option.

We were all in the locker rooms‚ (me in the boy’s locker room obviously) and we had just finished changing. Another of the boys by the name of Bryce‚ was the one who gave me the most

It was the deep blue color of the ocean. My first car had some major problems‚ like the tendency to flood its carburetor at the worst possible moments and a thirst for oil which‚ made owning it a bad experience. The carburetor would flood just about
