The Boy

Twelve was not a good year

I had no friends

My grandmother died

My mom's dad was hurt by his own dog

The idea of seventh grade is just a painful thing in my heart

But I did connect with a boy

I was the go-to Zelda girl in homeroom

I discovered my love for science

As thirteen grew closer, my life brightened

I can blame it on my new gang (courtesy of that boy)

Maybe it was beating Zelda finally

But probably it was him

I guess twelve wasn't so bad after all
