“Weird”- Chapter 2

JANUARY 12, 2012

Today school was as normal. Something, nothing, more nothing. That was what the learning was like, of course. The activities other than class were much different.

You know how every year there’s a different fad? A new fad has been born: zapping. You write a time on the back of somebody’s hand and on their palm, you write a person of the opposite gender’s name. If you look at your palm before the time, you need to ask that person out. Naturally, this is just fuel for the machine that is gossip.  I got a little goofy during the after-school science program I go to because Emma zapped me and go figure: she wrote the name of the kid I have a crush on.  God, I’m getting stereotypical. Sometimes it’s hard not to.  I’m stopping before I turn in to one of those kids in books with titles like “How I Survived Middle School”.

I sat back and sighed. I liked journals. I got my thoughts out and told every detail I wanted, without fear of mocking or someone spilling the beans. Notebooks allow you to spill your thoughts fearlessly. And that’s just perfect for me or anybody who lives with a bossy fourteen-year old sister.
