The boy's anxiety was dispelled, finding a Roblox backpack on one of the chairs in the kitchen. It was slightly smaller than the one he normally used, so Danny was confused as to what the bag was for. After all, he was an only child.
Before Danny could muster up a question, his dad handed him what appeared to be a student badge, but this one looked different. The badge was a student ID for Ford Middle School, which was Danny's old middle school. The badge read:
Ford Middle School
Jacobs, Daniel A.
Student, Grade 6, Homeroom 106
2022-2023
Beside the text was Danny's school photo from 5 years ago, when he was really a sixth grader.
"Mom, dad, what's going on?" Danny asked, puzzled and confused at the card.
"Well son, this is the second part of your present", his dad said, "Welcome back to the sixth grade, buddy!"
Ford Middle School was aware of the Pubertaway existing, and the school has reportedly started allowing some former students to return after their regressions. Danny's enrollment only took minutes as a result.
"We figured that having you go back there would help you adjust as this is a big change," his mom added.
"And this is only the first change, young man. Now hurry up and finish your breakfast because school starts in less than an hour!"
One would think that Danny would be fazed by having to go back five grades, but the opposite is the case. He desired to go back to when his body hadn't matured yet, and returning to middle school and getting to discovery puberty all over again was a bonus. The preteen tried his best to contain his excitment as this was exactly what he wanted. He rushed through his waffles and bacon, his table manners clearly degraded with his maturity.
Danny was dropped off at his middle school, now aware that this was where he'd be going starting today. The nervous preteen headed to his homeroom, having yet to be assigned to a locker.
On one hand, he was happy that he got what he wanted. However, he was worried about being made fun of by his peers, let it be because of his regression, or because he was the new kid. Danny took one deep breath and wiped his shirt with his sweaty palms before entering his homeroom class.
Instructed to stand in front of the class, Danny was on the verge of panicking as he attempted to introduce himself.
"H-hi. I'm Danny. It's-um nice to...um....meet you all..." Danny stuttered throughout that sentence, wondering if he just made a fool of himself. The preteen headed to his seat as the school day started.
