Middle School: Get Me Out of Here!
“BATHROOM BLUES So if I told you I went straight to my locker, got my lunch, took it to the boys’ bathroom, flushed my self-portrait down the toilet, and then ate my PB and J in one of the stalls, would you think I was a total loser?
Yeah, I thought so.
For me, bathrooms are kind of like bomb shelters. You can’t live there forever, but they sure do come in handy sometimes.
“So what happens now?” Leo said.
“You’re looking at it,” I told him. Maybe it wasn’t too late to transfer over to Meat Grind...er Public Middle School.
“That’s it? You’re just going to give up?” he said. “You know what Jeanne Galletta would say, don’t you?”
I knew, I knew. She’d say, “Don’t give up—buck up.” It’s like her favorite expression. But that’s easy for her to say. Jeanne’s version of a bad day is an A-minus, or if the cafeteria runs out of chocolate milk.
Still, Jeanne is pretty smart.
For that matter, so is Leo. And I knew exactly what he was thinking right then. Operation: Get a Life was looking better and better, and more necessary, all the time.MoreLess
