Hate to beat you, one of five. Wow. And one year it was four because someone went to a different school. That's crazy. But then they came back. But then the school closed due to under attendance. Crazy. What? I don't understand that. That's crazy. But it was so like these people were like our siblings growing up. Like I had my sisters and they were in the other classrooms.

But then the small core of people, like those were our siblings growing up. So we only socialized with them. We didn't really socialize outside. So when we did end up going to the public high school, It shook us to our core. Shook us to our core. To our core. I mean, except for her, so she got to go to public middle school, though. Yes, and I'm so glad for that. It was... It was a war.

I think I may have lost. I lost many battles, maybe the war itself, but I came out and actually I am still friends with most of my to this day from middle school. And it was just like, I was so confident and ready in sixth grade. I was like, I'm going to make friends. I had my sights set high for the popular girls, which is why middle school wasn't so difficult.

I think it would have been difficult no matter what, because Middle school girls are brutal, especially in public school. I don't know what your experience was. Oh, no. Yeah. Yeah. But it was it was tough, but it made me stronger. And then going into high school, I had established friendships and high school is kind of just fine. Not us. Not us, no. Adriana was actually cool.

I still remember the first time I talked to a boy in high school, vividly. Shout out Alex, walking in the hallway next to him. I was so tense, so nervous. I was like, Really cool. And it was just a normal encounter. It was a normal encounter. We were just going from class to class, but I only had three boys in my class and they were like my brothers.

Like the thought of any, like when I went to public middle school for sports, they were like, oh, and then I kissed this boy. I was like, y'all are kissing boys. That's not me. You guys are layering lacy tank tops and kissing boys. That's crazy. And there's pushup bras involved. Whoa, not me. This is the other side. I gotta put my jumper on for real. Yeah, we gotta put our little uniforms on.

Amen. And we went to a Catholic school. Fun fact, back to our mom, she was a sex educator at a Catholic school. Yep. Yep. Very fun fact. I actually didn't mind it. She was a school nurse. She was a school nurse, yes. She just came in to teach sex. Absolutely. Some random woman. Meena Kumar. She was like, I'll do it. Oh, she's doing it. I know what I'm doing. I'll talk about it.
