A school where basic white girls roam the hallways in their Ivory Ella shirts and dirty "white" converse. Where teachers work you for free and force you to do things. Where kids get suspended for calling people roaches and mocking other students.
Fucking basics walking around with ivory ella shirts, black leggings, white converse, and low ponytails everyday at Grayslake Middle School.

Grayslake Middle School 

The fucking worst place on planet earth. First you come to school and are greeted by a teacher that dosen’t give two shits about you because they are fucking out too get you. If you make it to lunch without fifty detentions and maybe a Panther Paw or two (their stupid fucking reward) you will get in a long ass hot lunch line. There you will wait about 2 1/2 hours so they can throw some shitty pizza on your plate, and a milk. Their milk tastes like it just came from their science lab cause the school is too poor to buy real milk. Then you go to sit down but every kid is a bully or a snitch. Finally you find a place to sit and you try to take a nibble out of their pizza and puke. Then lunch is over so you go to gym where you are expected to change in 2 second and wear heart rate monitors that leave red marks on your body because they are so fucking tight and painful. If you forget something in your locker and go back for it you get a detention. Finally you make it out and go threw the rest of your classes, and if you cry once at school you are showered by, “Are you okay?” And later might get sent to the social worker where the lights are so fucking dim you flick the social worker off and she can’t even see it. Finally after a long day you make it out of school alive and go on the dirty ass busses once again. When you get home you have an hour of homework but at least you are gone from Grayslake Middle School.
You: *dies and goes to hell*
Your Mom: How was hell today?
You: It felt like nothing compared to one day at Grayslake Middle School.
