fifth graders

In a private school, fifth graders find themselves grown into middle school, without any of their sixth grade public school friends’ advice, as they are being thrown into it, too. The main difference is that, at that point, only the girls are starting to go through puberty, and only very few. Meanwhile, they have to share the hallways with gimongous eighth graders (and their huge seventh grader posse), who, depending on the type of school, may shove them out of the way, beat them, make loud comments about stupid little fifth graders who should go die in a hole, etc. Fifth graders (at least pre- pubescent ones) have an advantage: they are small and fast. In the hallways, they can dart around the sixth and seventh graders to get to their lockers. Another thing: the lockers. Most fifth graders have not gone through puberty and are still kids. So they will construct fake floors and walls in their lockers to conceal their money. ლ($◡$ლ). None of them will have dated anyone by the end of the year, as their crushes are barely blossoming. While some of them may think otherwise, it is a blessing. Oh yeah, AND THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WHO JUST GRADUATED FROM FIFTH GRADE. TAKE THAT EIGHTH GRADERS!
