In Vancouver, there’s no middle school, so grades eight through twelve are all together, and that feels fucking insane if you’re on the “eight” end of that spectrum. It was like going to school with full-grown adults. There were kids with beards. Like full fucking beards. There was a pregnant girl, which was sooooooo far outside what I was expecting. It’s like if a Minotaur went to school with us. I was shocked.
