The 7th grade and tears have been best friends forever. Like, since the dawn of puberty, or the founding of the education system. They met in the girls’ bathroom during 6th period after horrible Bobby McPhee called 7th grade a “big ugly troll”. Suddenly, tears appeared, and it was love at first devastated sob. Their friendship grew as quickly as 7th grade’s self–esteem dropped. They have been inseparable through the years: tears was there when 7th grade sat alone at lunch, tears consoled her when 7th grade’s parents just didn’t understand and tears even appeared when 7th grade wet her pants during gym (Ed Note: It was totally embarrassing). 7th grade and tears will be best friends until the end, or at least until the last day of school!
