What is it About Me that Boys Don't Like?

September 20th

Dear Journal,

What is there about me that boys don't like? 
I spent the last 2.5 hours at Winterset's Homecoming game, and no one, not one guy (ha, if you can call 12 year old adolescents 'GUYS') asked me out. 
Everyone got to wear someone's, (someone in football) jersey, if a guy gave it to her. AND I DIDN'T GET ONE.

I also spent the last 2.5 hours dropping in and out of conversations, and occasionally being yelled at by someone saying, "Hey, Sarah, will you go out with... 
Psych!" Darn. Sheesh, am I making this game sound totally bad? 
Well, there were some good parts, like, when we would all say,

"Strawberry shortcake, banana, split! We think your team plays like. Shift to the left. Shift to the right. 
Stand up, sit down, fight fight fight!

Listen, it's 10:30 p.m., and I have to babysit, have dancing, and a meeting of S.I.G.H, so I need to get my rest desperately. 


On this page, I will write a list of topics I must cover to make this journal complete.

1. Things I was in 6th grade
2. Awards I have received
3. My Dancing
4. Marching Band
5. Mrs. L
6. My hair
7. My writing (stories)
8. What I want to be
9. Boys
10. Confusion over friends
11. Confusion over life
12.  “            “    “  sports
13.  “            “    “ Boys
14.  S.I.G.H and confusion

For today's writing prompt, I'd love to know if you got to go to sporting events at this age without your parents. (I'm frankly surprised that I got to!) If so, how did you fare socially? Were you someone who fit in, or were you on the fringes, like me? I'd love to know your thoughts! Be sure to sign in to get the conversation going!
