Midnight blogging

I intended to post earlier, but my parents have been bugging me all week to "get out and go do something" since the weather's been nice. So I've been biking around town a lot during the day, and then my mother has been doing these "family nights" where we all have to watch TV and do jigsaw puzzles. Tonight I couldn't sleep hence the 1 am post.

Luna and I also hung out a couple times this past week. I biked by her house to see if she was around on Tuesday, and she was. (She usually is.) We watched a couple episodes of The Twilight Zone on Netflix and then I helped her with her math homework. On Wednesday I went over again and sort of awkwardly brought up the stuff Donna wanted me to talk about with her, middle school and stuff, and if anyone was bothering her. Went something like this:

Me: So... how's school?

Luna: Okay.

Me: Anyone nice?

Luna: Yeah.

Me: Have you made any friends?

Luna: No.

Me: Hey, I'm just saying this because middle school was pretty rough for me, but... if anyone's giving you a hard time, you can talk to me about it. I know middle school kids can be nasty.

Luna: No one's been nasty to me.

Me: [relieved] That's good.

Luna: Mostly they don't pay attention to me. It's alright that way.

I didn't have much to say at that point, because I couldn't decide if it was worse to be bullied or ignored. I hated being bullied in middle school, but now that I'm homeschooled I get really lonely sometimes. It's not even that I miss having friends in school, it's that I miss being around people my age, I guess.

I hope Luna is okay. She's so much nicer than the girls I knew in middle school. She deserves to have friends and be treated well.
