Narrated by Alyssa

I was a little nervous starting high school but so far, it's not so bad.

The work is definitely harder than what we did in elementary school but I'm still getting As. And that is all that matters.

There aren't a lot of kids in our school so most of the classes are combined. I'm in a class with 2 boys a year ahead of me.

They seem cool and they're kind of cute, too. Especially Josh.

Gym class has to be my favorite class. Dad and I used to play basketball a lot when I was younger and it's cool that I can play every day at school.

I thought I was a decent player but it's not the same playing against the upper class.

We also get to play soccer which I've never played before. Xia hasn't played much either but she's pretty good.

I was able to psych her out, though, and beat her.

GOAL! I love winning!

We all have art class together and it's a lot of fun, too.

I'm not very good at it yet but I'm starting to love this class, too. I'm only doing drawing and painting now and can't wait to move onto pottery.

The only thing I don't really like about our high school are some of the girls. I tried talking to this one girl, Amber, who I think is a junior, and she laughed at me like she was too good to talk to me!

That really pissed me off so whenever I see her around, I get in her face.

She tried to scare me by threatening to fight me in front of everyone, but I let her know that I don't care who she is or how old she is.

I don't back down so if she wants a fight, we can go any time!

I followed her out to the courtyard and started arguing with her again.

We almost got into it right there but Ms. Pederson caught me poking her and made me apologize.

I didn't even start it and I had to apologize to her! So stupid!

She didn't like my apology but whatever. She knows that I'm not going to back down so she better watch her back.

At least all the girls aren't a pain like Amber. Jessica and Dana let me eat lunch with them which was cool.

And I know Xia through her little sister, An. But none of us are that tight yet.

I definitely get along much better with the boys, which is fine with me. They're less drama!

Extras:

Ha, Alyssa seems to like Darren (who doesn't?!), who's 17 years old. He takes the compliment and moves on, though. Flirting with a girl 5 years younger than he is at his age is just not appropriate and he knows it.

And another one with high hopes. 13-year old Christian tried flirting with Darren's twin sister, Dana. She's desperate to have her first kiss and fall in love, but not that desperate! :)

Notes:
-I didn't get a good shot of her but if any of you remember, the teacher Vicki Pederson was one of Paul's flings at uni. I needed teachers and since she's 21, I decided to throw her into the education major and make her a student teacher. The principal, Kathryn, is the mother of Jessica who's made a couple of appearances in some updates (particularly when all her hair fell out at Sofia's salon 2 years ago).
-I don't know what started it but Alyssa and Amber do not like each other at all. They're not enemies yet because I kept distracting them, but it was most definitely all Alyssa's fault. She has 1 nice point and Amber has 5 and every time I saw them about to interact with each other, it was almost always initiated by Alyssa. They were very likely going to get to the point of fighting but I didn't want a huge fight during my first high school play session! Maybe next time, but Amber will have graduated. Alyssa has some balls, though, standing up to a 16-year old.
-I am so happy with my high school! It runs with very little lag and I hope it'll continue that way even when I have more than 9 students.
-Speaking of which, I packaged the lot up to see how large it was with all the cc and it's 65.5 mb! It, naturally, packaged every single recolor I have for everything, and that's a lot (all thanks to Piggi!). If I remove all the cc, who knows how scary it would look on the inside with all the OMSPs I used. So for those who were interested, I will not be sharing it right now. Whenever I get some time to clean it up a bit, I'll definitely upload it.
