I start another year of highschool in a week and my schedule has just come out and I don’t know what to do. My school is going back to their pre-Covid-19 schedule with three different lunch periods (2,3,4). I got the last lunch period while all of my friends got the other two, most of them in period 3. I don’t know what to do during lunch because I know absolutely no one who has the same lunch period that I could even sit with. I also feel like because of the different lunch times, I’m going to become more left out of the friend group and they’re my only friends. Would it be weird to ask the guidance counselor to change my schedule from a period 4 lunch to a period 3 lunch just to sit with my friends. What can I do because I feel so uneasy right now and I have a little less than a week to do something about it?
Please send help because I’m freaking out about how the first day back will go and I’m not liking it. I don’t want to ask for a lunch period change just because I don’t want to be alone because I don’t think the counselors would go for that. But, I also really don’t want to be alone and no longer have the closeness with my only friends.
