(the) New Kid In School.

I didn't tell you yet did I? There is a new girl in school. I don't know that much about her besides the little we learned about her in creative writing class. Even though we are in different grades my school has all of the electives by skill level not grade. So I'm advanced in writing so I take some writing classes with the upper class men.

Well every time we get a new student we have to write a essay about the topic the teacher gives us. This time it was family. I quickly wrote down a page long paper on my moms and what little I knew about my birth parents.

But here's the kicker we had to go up in front of the class and read the paper, as much as we wanted. I went first, I read up until the part where I started talking about my birth parents. A few of the upper class men laughed softly as I spoke with pride about my same sex parents. I should be used to it by now but I guess I'm not.

A few more students went up and read to us about their families until it was Lux's turn. She stood in front of the class with her paper held down by her chest. She had on leggings and ballet flats, she had on a purple knit hat. I kinda like her tee shirt, it had a funky graphic on it.

She started talking and I swore I was only one this focused. She just looked so calm like she had done this a million times. I remembered my first time doing this, I was scared out of my boots. Not her, she seemed calmed and relaxed, like this was second nature to her.

She spoke of many things, of things most kids our age keep buried deep inside of our closets. Secrets and truths that most people don't even tell their diaries let alone a whole class of 30 kids.

Lux pulled the paper down and sat it on the teachers desk and traveled back to her seat.

I'm sure what it is about her but I know I want to learn more about her trouble past and how in the world did she get so brave...I could learn a thing or two from her.

Summer in April? Also Im a bad mom!

Yes you read that right.

I swear last night it felt like Summer in April here in Philly. It was so hot I had to turn my AC on! That's crazy, in April! Normally no matter the weather, even if its hot out I sleep with a thin sheet on. Nope, not last night.

Oh, I know his is a bit off topic but I found my 3DS! I thought I lost it. It was burried in the bottom of my closet inside of my hoodie pocket. Dont even ask how it got there, Im not even sure how. I swear it has a life of its own.

It turns out Im a terrible mother! :( Well Im a terrible puppy mother. My puppies were all dirty, hungry and chubby. Let me explain. Im a huge Nintendo fan and dog lover so I love Nintendogs. I brought the newest Nintendogs, Nintendogs + Cats in 3D. Let me just say that the puppies are cute so are the kittens but the kittens hate the dogs and they just sit in the house. Whereas the dogs you get to take on walks and enter in fun mini games where you can earn money to buy treats, house upgrades and furniture. And on top of them doing nothing they are so stanking expensive. Ill get more into Nintendogs some other blog entry. I like to keeep my blogs nice and short.

See ya later,

Just kidding, I hate that show.
