Fifth Grade Screenager

Middle school at our house means acrobatics,  
cool smart phone apps, 
and experimenting to find our signature style. 
It's a concerted effort to pull out those final baby teeth on the side, because I want braces so badly.
It's having fun with my besties,
and still liking afternoons hanging out with my mom.
It's understanding that I should be nice to my little brother. He misses me because he doesn't get to see me during the day at school now that I'm in the middle school building. And he thinks I spend too much time on my phone, and not enough time playing with him.  
Honestly, I was shocked that he likes me so much. He's kind of sweet sometimes.
One of the more shocking developments this fall was my fearless performance of the Wicked song "For Good" at my Broadway theatre camp. Mom and Dad have watched it 100 times. And Mom cries every time.
