Third grade. A new school. There was Marisa, and Rachel. Sebastian was annoying.

I fell out of touch with my old friends. Everyone but Rachel.

Two weeks in. Marisa was touchy, or maybe I was too possessive. I mostly hung around with the more popular girls. Kim was still there. But now there was Casey, and Tia.

Halfway through the year. Rachel and I grew apart. I don't know what happened.

I was mostly alone for the year, but I didn't know it. I was happy.
