Middle school is weird. For people’s birthday gifts at school, you get punched all day long. I got this big bruise from people “wishing me a happy birthday”. This was March 12 and it was the last day we went to school. They did have school Friday, March 13, but Mom was not comfortable sending us so we stayed home. Of course, we thought at that point that this would only last three weeks and not until the rest of the year.
