Near the end of that summer, the family moved in to the mother's parents' home in Texas as they had no place yet to live. They had got a house to start getting constructed next door to the grandparents.
These elders were nice to the family, but they didn't care too much for whatever happened to them.
Soon, it was autumn and time to start anew in a different school. The boy was scared as he knew absolutely no one here. The children there didn't exactly make the boy feel welcome. They mostly stuck to themselves and paid no mind to him.
The first semester had come to an end and the boy was transferred to a new school. There, on his first day, as he was sitting alone at lunch, another young boy came and sat down with him. The only person in the entire school to even approach the boy besides the ones who gave him a tour of the school.
They quickly became friends whose friendship would last a while. Other than that, there wasn't much new stuff with the child. He had still done nothing to improve upon himself and get his grades up though he very well could have if he put even the teensiest bit of effort. But that is where the story for middle school ends.
