Expulsion

Farewell to my old high school, there are many things about you I will miss that are outweighed by the things I'm lucky to escape from.

I will not miss your idiotic and occasionally predatory staff, expelling my friends simply for helping other students find a missing child is pathetic. Along with the teachers and sometimes principals that would make passes at students with the offer of better grades.

I will not miss the annoyances who would read out my full name infront of me in an attempt to humiliate or plant insecurities within me.

I will not miss the constant noise, whether it be students chattering far too loud or boomboxes blasting at full volume that the staff couldn't care less about.

I will not miss the joke of a police force, the ones that would sit back drinking coffee and eating donuts as though they came straight from a cartoon instead of dealing with this towns issues.

Hello, Pineridge. May you give me everything my old town could not. I had to beg my parents to be transfered here, an act that bought me great shame but alas I will not be without the people I tolerate.

To new beginnings, new friends, and new adventures.
