"PSST! PSST! Y/n wake up!"

I jumped up from my bed as I saw my mom at my door.

"If you don't want to be late on your first day, you better get up. Now!"

I sighed and laid my head back down on my pillow.

My mom shut my door and walked away.

So many thoughts were in my head.

My last year of middle school..

is it going to be a good year?

I guess we'll have to find that out.

I got up and changed my clothes. I brushed my teeth, straightened my hair, and walked to the bus stop.

I waited about 10 minutes until the bus arrived.

I walked onto the bus, recognizing a few kids from the years previous.

But one person caught my eye over all the others.

Anthony Larusso.

He looked so much different.

His hair was fluffy-ish, his face was... cuter, his body was thinner.

I was amazed.

I've always thought the kid was cool, but I never really liked him.

I never even talked to him.

His dad owns a karate dojo. I've wanted to join, but all the kids are older than me and I don't want to seem like a little kid around them.

Plus, all the karate drama is annoying.

But, I did take a few self-defense classes.

I sat down in an empty seat and I looked out the window.

After a few stops, I saw this kid. I don't think I've ever seen him before, but he looked like a fun kid.

When we pulled up he was dancing. I guess he didn't realize we were there, because he didn't turn around to walk on the bus. He just kept dancing.

Soon enough, the driver beeped his horn and it caught his attention.

He walked onto the bus and all the kids were laughing.

I looked over at Anthony and his friends, as one of them said "Nice moves new kid! What do you call that? The loser limbo?"

Everyone laughed.

I felt bad for him, he was embarrassed.

Then, Anthony said "No no no, I think it's called the 'I'm trying not to shit my pants dance'." he and his friends laughed.

I just looked out the window. I couldn't imagine how this kid felt.

I watched him sit in an empty seat.

I knew what I should do.

"New kid" I yelled to him.
