Entering 7th Grade

Date: 5/16/2019

Renee, Mason Joy, Chris Smaldone and I were walking on a military base to enter 7th grade. There was a huge sign that said “NO 6TH GRADE ALLOWED!” Chris was walking way ahead of the three of us, Renee and Mason were fae behind me, and I was walking alone between them all. About 10 feet in front of me (but still behind Chris) was another boy I didn’t know. We walked past a female soldier and she yelled at us to hurry up inside before we were locked out. Once we got inside, we were in a strange, large room for the four of us to share. Chris and I sat down on the couch. Mason offered a chair to Renee and then he sat on the floor. We all talked for while until Renee and Mason broke off into their own conversation, so Chris and I started talking about random things with each other. I told him that I hate bacon and he said he does too. We looked up and into each other’s eyes and smiled, and I said “oh, I love you.”
