IB Friendship

Sarah Carbone and I have noticed a difference in our IB group compared to last year's group (and probably previous years' groups as well). I feel as though we are different; we aren't our own group. It's almost as if we have groups inside our IB group because of our different friends and extracurricular activities. When Sarah and I look around the lunch room (her and I sit together), we notice that the senior IB kids, for the most part, all sit together at a lunch table. But if you look around, you would see that our junior group splits up into twos or ones. We each still have our own group of friends, which is unlike what all the other kids had told me last year. I had been under the assumption that once you're an IB kid, you only hang with IB kids. Many kids told me "Good luck having a life or seeing your friends from this year. Because you will be just hanging out with the kids in your IB class. IT BECOMES LIKE A CULT". This had scared me a bit last year. But noticing what I notice now I see that it is completely different from what those people had told me last year.
