Nerd Nadzooks - Entry 7

Dear Diary

Today was totally ka-ray-zee! "OMG !! Olivia! " I heard a cry, which came from Em. "Hey, guys, what are you doing here?" "Girlfriend, you are so NOT gonna believe what we heard !" "WHAT did you hear?" "THAT YOU ARE GONNA HAVE A MEETING WITH PRINCIPAL JAYSON !" OMG! I gasped! My BFFs said, "Come on, Olivia, Jayson is not so scary, girl." When I finally picked up my broken courage, I headed to his office. He was dressed in a formal office suit, and when he saw me, he said, "Hello, Miss Fernandes. Welcome to North Campus Academy." "Thank you, Jayson, um, I M-M-mean, Principal Jayson, sir." The rest of the meeting went in a fun but boring way. He told me that if I should experience any problem, I should inform him immediately. YAWN! Then he handed me a book, titled "STUDENT HANDBOOK", and asked me to read it fully. He also said that if I was good at writing, I could join the School Newspaper. He also mentioned the Singing Club and said that there was a club for every hobby, including Writing and READING and even ART. There were elections held annually, in which you could run for different posts, like President, Vice-President, Prefects, and Ministers. The Ministers table had different MINISTERS, like Education Minister, Cleanliness Minister, Art and Craft Minister and so!! { Anyways, he handed me a map of the school, because he said that since I was new, I could learn where each thing was and "make beautiful astonishing discoveries in the brick". I was BORED OUT OF MY SKULL!! Suddenly, the telephone rang. The Principal said, "Yes, yes, of course. I am glad. Honored, truly, yes. Sure, I will organize a meeting on … um, let`s see. I will call you later. " With that, he put down the phone, and said, "Okay. Miss Fernandes, do tell me if you experience any discomfort of any kind. All clear?" I nodded and plastered a fake smile across my face, "Yes, sir. All clear."

My mom picked me up early today because I had to babysit Elsie, my psycho sis. I invited Em for a sleepover because honestly, Elsie needs an animal trainer, NOT a babysitter. Cindy was away for a family dinner at her grandmother`s house. As Em came in, she squealed, "OMG! Nice house, Olivia!", while squeezing my hand. Just because she was my BFF, she knew what to do. She followed me to the living room, where Elsie was putting her hand in the back door fountain. "What ARE you DOING, Elsie?! That`s mom`s FAVE FOUNTAIN! Don`t dare touch it!" Em was pretty surprised because I guess she had expected Elsie to be a cute lil` girl, not a total psycho! 

Suddenly, I had an idea - distract Elsie, "Elsie, would you like some cute cupcakes from CUPCAKERY?" "Yes!", squealed Elsie excitedly. Well, at night, CUPCAKERY is closed. I couldn`t tell that to Elsie. DUH! I grabbed the keys and put on my jacket. Then I said to Elsie, "Okay, do you have any money?" I had my allowance money, $4.89, but I was definitely not gonna waste my money on a cupcake! Elsie looked into her socks and found a five-dollar note. Don`t even ASK me how she got more allowance than ME! That`s when I saw that that note looked like it was FRESH in her bedroom. But mom gave us allowance a WEEK ago. That little THIEF has stolen my pocket money! How rude! I was about to argue, but I realized mom was gonna brutally blame me if I didn`t entertain Elsie and she threw a temper tantrum. SO I grabbed the money and we raced out on my bicycle. "Sorry, Em. I am just so sorry! I did not know that she was gonna have me running to CupCakery in the dead of night. Honest!", I apologized to Em. She grinned, "Hey, this is WAY more exciting than a normal sleepover. I mean, do we regularly do this in sleepovers? So chill!" I am SO lucky to have such amazing BFFs !! {That`s when Elsie overheard us and shouted, "Olivia! WHAT IS THE DEAD OF NIGHT? Is there a murderer here? I WANNA go HOME !!" That brat bawled. I smiled and did my Nerdy Joy Dance in my head. Then I said to Elsie, "Um, okay. Let`s go home!" We cycled back and reached home in about 38 seconds. Hey, we hadn`t even cycled out to the front garden. I fished my hand in my pocket and brought out the key, shoved it in the keylock, and opened the door. Home Sweet Home! } So we had loads of fun in our sleepover. Mom came back from dinner with her friends at late night. By that time, Elsie was already asleep on mom`s bed. Mom was SO happy, that she increased my allowance! Now, how cool is THAT? I thanked Em again because, without her help, I would NOT have survived the Elsie Category 4 Hurricane.
