High School Life

It's High School. Wake up in the MORNING and never know what could happen. You make MISTAKES, you'll make them twice, you'll make them 3 times but somehow you will get away with it. FIGHTS and pep-rallies, so many kids there is bound to be something up-tight. Skipping classes, skip class so much it gets boring. Rumors, gossip everywhere. HIGH SCHOOL life just isn't fair. Clubs, groups, and publications, we are always dedicated in the paper. SPORTS, JV and Varsity, the long hour practices, and the pain of the game. It's never lame. Be SPONTANEOUS. Make PLANS. Break plans. Be in LOVE and you'll get ATTACHED. Kissing on the stairwell. Someone will get JEALOUS and fall real hard. Get your HEART BROKEN several times. Cry, cry harder than you ever have and then LAUGH at it later. Laugh so hard you can't stop. Lost in the twisted morals of the hallways. Everyone knows everybody, you can't help to think that the whole school is related.

COMPETITIONS in everything, winning seems to be everything. Everybody dress so fresh, such a big deal but always teased. Go all out for a dress down, go all out just to be put down.

There are teachers that are mean, teachers that are nice, teachers that you love to hate, and teachers that get you because you are late. FRESHMANS are just starting out, SOPHMORES are running about, JUNIORS are just waiting, and SENIORS are debating to get out. A clash of all CREATIVITY. They can judge, reject, and criticize but don't even have a clue. Have MOMENTS that you wish would never end. Have moments you wish never began. Have conversations that you'll NEVER FORGET. Have conversations without saying a word. Say the WRONG thing at the wrong time. Say the wrong thing at the right time. Get angry. Be CONFUSED. Another fight or a big crowded arguemented event. It is hard, it is cruel, it can be the worst day of your life or the best day of your life. It will all become clear eventually. It's HIGH SCHOOL. No matter what happens you'll always say you miss it.
