& said "you're really pretty!!(:" It made my day & totally
boosted my self esteem(:
true story

Please Read. Long, but worth it.
  So Wednesday was my first day of school, and I'm in 8th grade starting at a new school. & I don't know anyone there. Now, I understand that doesn't sound so bad, but it gets worse. I had to wake up at 5:30 in the morning to shower and get ready because my new school is 40 minutes away (I'm moving next month but the house isn't finished being built.) & I worked so hard on my hair and chose the cutest shirt I had bought the day before and my favorite pair of skinny jeans and converse. I actually felt pretty. Then, I walked into school not knowing where to go, or who to ask for help because I didn't have my schedule (everyone else did.) Thankfully I found a list with my homeroom and a teacher helped me get my schedule and everything. My first class was Band, and I had to ask about 7 people to help me before I actually found the band room, and halfway during the class I realized that I wasn't supposed to be in band; I was supposed to be in Intro to Band since I've never played an instrument before. I ended up staying in regular Band and now one of my classmates is going to have to help teach me how to play. After band, one of the girls in my class asked if I wanted to sit by her at lunch and in my head all I could think  was, "oh my gosh, thank you soo much! You just saved me from sitting by myself!" because I am super duper shy and quiet around people I don't know, but all I said was "Sure!" Then, in 3rd period pre-algebra, my teacher said to me in front of the whole class, "You can't wear that shirt. Your breasts are hanging out. Go to the office and get a new one." I was so shocked! I guess they have a really strict policy on clothes, and your shirt can't be below your collarbone. (I was wearing a v-neck with a cami underneath; something my old school, that was a Catholic school, would've allowed.) So I went to my locker to get my jacket, and when I walked back into class my teacher asked "Did you get that from the office?" I said "No, I got this from my locker.." she then screamed at me "I TOLD YOU TO GET A SHIRT FROM THE OFFICE!" so I went to the office and had to wear a baggy, ugly, oversized shirt for the rest of the day. There were tears in my eyes and I knew if I said anything I'd start bawling, so I thought "okay, just run to the bathroom and cry." but then I realized I had no idea where the bathroom was. Then, nobody talked to me at all and everyone bumped into me and shoved me and basically acted like I was invisible! At lunch time, I realized that Christi and her friend Allyson were part of the "loser" or "band geek" clique. At that moment, I thought to myself, "If hanging out with them makes me a nerd too, than so be it. Cause i'd rather hang out with people I have a ton in common with who are nice to me than pretend to be friends with the mean girls just to be popular." (All the popular girls are mean. Except like one or two. How cliche is this?!) & we all like the same things! I was so happy to have my first friends! The rest of the day went pretty well, except the fact that no one talked to me still and I had said a total of about 20 words all day. It was the worst day of my life. (except the part about making friends.) Today and Thursday weren't much better either. Can anyone who's been in the same situation give me some advice and tell me how it worked out for you? If you're still reading this, I love you. The past three days have been a nightmare and all I want to do is cut myself, but I promised one special person I would stop. I know this quote isn't pretty, and it probably won't get read because it's so long, but I just wanted to vent.

                                               Sandbox
                                               Chap. 1:
  It all began with a sandbox on our first day of pre-school. During recess, I was quietly in the sandbox building a sand castle by myself, when he came up to me and asked "Can I play with you?" "Sure!" I said, excited that I was making a new friend. "My name is Frankie." he said as he sat down next to me. "Hi, I'm Caroline." "You have really pretty hair, Caroline." "Thank you!" I said with a smile. Then we built a sand castle together and talked about our favorite tv shows and movies. After we were done in the sand, we took turns pushing each other on the swings. I was pushing Frankie and having fun when all of a sudden, a boy named John came over and pushed me down and kicked me. By then I was crying, but Frankie got off the swing and pushed John down and said to him, "You don't EVER hurt a girl!" Then he helped me up and walked inside with me to tell the teacher. During snack time, we sat next to each other and shared our snacks. Ever since then, we've sat next to each other at snack time and lunch every day and we became best friends. ~I need 5 likes to write the 2nd chapter! (It'll be longer than this one)~
