High School: The New and the Unknown

The New and the Unknown are two things that are related.
I don't quite know why but this is something I have always known.
I start my first year of highschool in two weeks.
Highschool is both new and filled with the unknown.
New is something that is refreshing and good.
New friends,
New classes,
New experiences.
But the unknown,
is terrifying and fueled by my insecurities
Will I be liked?
Will my friends sit with me in lunch?
What if I don't have the right brand of shoes?
What if I answer a question wrong?
What if I get blamed for something not my fault?
The new, is just that, 
New.
But the unknown,
is scary...
To me at least 
 (Sorry if it doesn't make sense, I wrote it on a whim about my two main feelings for the new and unknown that reside within the walls of high school)

    For me, it’s not just the sharing of physical things that makes me angry.
    I feel like not only do I have to share a room with her.
    I have to share a lot of the things that she does.
    But I’ll always be worse at it than she is.
  • Imaginary Friend

    Some kids only have imaginary friends
    So when people tell them to drop their friends
    It's really really hard.
    Believe it or not, she used to have an imaginary friend
    that was named Alexa
  • Home

    Although I have moved once or twice,
    the majority of my thirteen year existence
    has been in this one place.
    A trashy town so close to the border of Canada
    that some people jokingly call it South Canada.
