This entry is part 1 of 6 in the series "Weird"

The cave was cold, damp, and dank, and it matched my mood. I slumped down and took a deep breath. It takes a lot of effort to hike here, but it’s worth it to get away from the chaos of my life. The cave was my secret hideaway, a place where I keep a stash of junk food, paperbacks, pens, and notebooks, where I go when I’m fed up with drama, gossip, and annoying siblings.  Every time I come here, my parents have a freak-out and when I come back, I pretend I went to a friend’s house or to get ice cream. Because this cave is my place, and nobody else can know about it.

I started sixth grade about 5 months ago, and already I have a reputation as the “weird” kid.  The kid that all the other kids gossip about because god forbid, a person should be so different. Rumor has it that all the boys have crushes on me, they’re just afraid to ask me out. Stupid gossip.
