Another New School

So far I've been counting how many houses but not how many schools. I didn't because at my first school everyone was new so it was no big deal. I moved in the second grade and kids are still nice in the second grade so it was an easy transition. I went to another school in the 4th grade but so did everyone else so that was no problem either.
But now I was starting a new school in the 5th grade and I was a little nervous. But it was a great school! My teachers were wonderful and even though I talked consistently they liked me. My home room teacher gave me the nickname "Miss Mouth" but she said it in such a way that I grew very fond of her. The kids were great too! It was an awesome school and I loved being there!
I met my first crush at this school and I have memories of us hitting each other and chasing each other in the hallways. Everyday he would walk me home from school at least until his older brother would come along and make fun of him. I was so proud the day he told him to get lost and continued to walk me home.
I also had great girlfriends at this school. I was very naive and my mom had not told me the facts of life yet. When my friends asked me if I knew what a period was I told them it was a dot at the end of a sentence! Instead of filling me in they told me to talk to my mom.
My mom took me out to dinner one night and explained everything to me. I felt so grown up learning such adult things. In reality I sat there with my mouth hanging open in disbelief that anyone would ever do THAT!! Just a. couple of weeks later kids were teasing a girl because she openly asked what the "F" word meant. (someone had tagged the wall with it). Although I joined in the laughter I later asked my brother what it meant. He just yelled for my mom saying "Mom! She is asking questions again!". My mom quickly and quietly explained what it meant and I realized how I had embarrassed my brother.
I loved this school, the teachers, my friends it was a wonderful place and I even made honor roll for the first time, I was so excited. But all things must change and school was wonderful but at home it was pretty rough between my mom and Granny so we continued to look for a place. It was a cool house across the street from where my brother went to Jr. High and behind the High School. We found out the school district owned the property and they were taking bids to rent it out. I can remember sitting in the post office parking lot deciding how much to bid. My brother and I told my mom to raise the bid by 50 cents and we won, by 50 cents!! So we packed up and were ready to move but this time I had to say goodbye to the school I loved.
My "boyfriend" bought me a bracelet with our names engraved on it. My class threw me a going away party and everyone signed a big poster to "Miss Mouth". It was sad, but I was off on a new adventure and I had done so well on this adventure that the next one was going to be even better, or so I thought....
