Upturned

It’s a new year, Julie and I will begin our final year of junior high and then we’re off…. to four more years of High School. Garrett stopped speaking to me after the Basket Boys lunch thing. It’s fine with me, I don't need the association. Sherry threw sneers at Julie and me until the end of the school year. But it was fine, Julie was good company. We didn't always talk, we didn't need words, but in all honesty that was okay. In two weeks we start school again, and everything should be normal. Julie and i would ride our bikes to school, we would talk more about that (Philosophy?) about the whole being greater than some its parts”. I still didn't quite get it, but Julie was happy to explain it to me. Everything would go swell, just me and Julie…. and then the new guy moved into the neighborhood.
