Back in my middle school years I was in an Honors English class that I don’t think I will ever forget. The period was separated by lunch so we would go to class then lunch then back to class. It seemed that that class was our first introduction to High School drama.  The first incident started when we were allowed to bring laptops to school. One day while the class was out at lunch one girl who preferred to remain in the class decided to bang the chalk erasers out on top of another girls laptop. This of course ruined the screen and caused a lot of turmoil in the class. Already nobody was very fond of this girl and with the added popularity of the girl whose laptop she ruined it was a war. The teacher had to step in and it turned into a cage match, literally. The 2 girls were placed in a room till they could talk out their differences. I think all of us in that class were astounded at how this thing that wouldn’t have been a big deal in out elementary school loves was such an ordeal now that we were middle schoolers. In reality it probably wasn’t a big deal we just made it one because we felt insecure about our new surroundings.
