Okay, so my first day of middle school went like this: I arrived in class before everyone else. I knew some people there, but mostly, I kept to myself. It wasn't because I was an introvert; I just didn't feel the need for a large group of friends. I did have a small circle—two girls and three guys, and that was it.

The two girls in my group always seemed to get into fights. We all sat in a line with our desks together—wait, I’m getting off track! Back to the girls: I usually sat next to the three guys in our friend group. They often insisted that I sit with them because they said, "We don't want to deal with girly fights," and told me to sit next to them because I could handle girls easily.

Let’s give my friends some names (since I don’t want to reveal their real names). Female 1 will be called "Lia," and Female 2 will be "Mary." Now for the guys: Male 1 will be "Jack," Male 2 will be "Marcus," and the last one, Male 3, will be "Tye."

Now, back to the guys setting me up—oops, I meant to say they were just trying to have fun. Tye said, "Arion, let’s play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses has to sit next to Lia and Mary." The funny part is, Lia and Mary always arrived a little late—about five to six minutes before the bell rang.

So, Tye and I played, and I said okay.

Oh, looks like our time is over! See you! hahaha.
