When I was in grade 8, I met two girls, and we became friends almost instantly. All three of us had come to the High-School from out-of-catchment area, so we were all quite desperate, and happy, to have friends. I was in a CI (computer immersion) program, so for almost all of my subjects, I was with the same people for everything.
