The first day of school was always bittersweet–I was at once excited to see my friends, use my new pencils and scope out any potential crushes, but I was also PAINFULLY aware that it was all downhill from there, and that running into certain people when the school year started meant telling a few white lies. Check out what I was usually thinking the first day of school and see if it matches with the little white lies you’ll be telling …
To Your Parents
She said: Mommm—we need to leave now. Didn’t you hear school starts 20 minutes earlier this year??
She meant: It does not. I just can’t bear the shame of having everyone see my mom dropping me off when all my friends have their license. Kill me.
To Your Teacher
She said: Um, excuse me, Mrs. Loch? Who do I see about switching my schedule? I really think I should be in Honors Chem this year.
She said: Mostly because that’s what my crush is taking. And I guess I can learn chem., blah blah college apps, something something GPA.
To Your Little Sister
She said: Just because you’re in 9th grade now and Dad is making me drive you to school doesn’t mean we’re going to be seen together. I’ll drop you off a block away. Deal with it.
She meant: You grew boobs and lost your baby fat this summer. I don’t need the competition.
To Your BFF
She said: Oh mah gahhhh I missed you sooooo much! I got us lockers next to each other and how do you feel about Chipotle for lunch? My treat!
She meant: You also grew boobs this summer—and got highlights and clearly spent the whole summer at the gym (without me)—I need to make sure you don’t get swept up by the popular girls and leave me behind!
To Your Frenemy
She said: Mmm hi Kylie. Um, weren’t you supposed to go abroad this semeseter? That’s ok. I hear Rome is, like, Carb City—who needs that, right?
She meant: Ugh, you again. I was really hoping you’d get kidnapped or move to some obscure country whose name I can’t even pronounce. Lame.
To The Only Girl Who Gets Better Grades Than You In Calculus
She said: Oh whoops, I dropped my calculator. Could you hand it to me, Emma?
She meant: Awwww snap, that’s right it’s a TI-89 TITANIUM, BITCH!
