There was once a sea nymph
That could lighten the world with a smile

everything is going fine, all your closest friends are in your class. all your teachers like you even though you have a habit of making a joke out of anything they say. then your parents take you out and dump you in the nearest school they find and that's not even the worst part..this year you start high school.
