I think year 8 is one of those horrific years for everyone. Stupid Angie... whatever happened to her, anyway? I never really understood why she said all that just before she left, she could have just gone away quietly and you'd never have seen her again anyway!

Seriously though, I don't know what it is about being 14, but everyone seems to have had a really rough time around then... My friends all decided to start running away and told me they didn't want to hang out with me anymore. I've heard about other people's bags being stolen and thrown into toilets, and who knows what else. Everyone just got really mean! Luckily miss_foxy and angel_cc turned up, and then in year 9 all was miraculously reconciled...
