"No, I lend it to Echo last week," Maxine said. She had on her navy polo shirt and pleated gray skirt with white socks and black and white converse high-tops. It seems like the required uniform policy is still there.

"I look so dorky in this stupid uniform!" Maxine exclaimed. She whined about her uniform for like a minute and wished that she can wear whatever she wanted.

"Maxine, you have to follow Oakdale Middle School's top rule: Wear you uniform everyday. If you're out of uniform, you be sent home."

"When we were in Baker Street Elementary, we didn't have to wear a school uniform," Maxine explained.

"Well, Oakdale Middle School's much different than Baker Street Elementary."

I can tell Maxine's jealous of me. I was going to a school where everyone can wear their own outfits, while Maxine was stuck with a school uniform until she middle school graduation.

"Is this trendy enough to get through the first day of seventh grade without looking like an catholic girl?" Maxine asked again. I wonder of she ever gets tired of coming to me about back-to-school fashion crisis's.

"Time to get to school, girls. You father's waiting in the car!" My mother called out from the living room.
