The Diamond Case

CHAPTER TWO: The Boring Stuff You Might Want to Skim Over

 HOMEROOM!!! My homeroom teacher, Mrs. Helton, is my absolute favorite teacher. She's also my science teacher, which is also my favorite subject. Since I am almost late, I have to quickly put my chair down, open my Chromebook, open the agenda, do morning work, and do the attendance form. Luckily for me, I'm VERY fast at doing ALL those things. The only thing that always slows me down is Chloe, who always sits 2 seats to the left of me so that she is in the middle with her stupid little group. Stupid popular kids. They always are desperate for attention and Chloe, being an idiot, is STILL not noticing that she is losing popularity for ditching Seth and that she is NEVER going to gain good attention from the teachers. Wait. Where is Chloe's group? Oh well, ignore her. I got a day full of learning, and possibly drama from Em, ahead of me. Sigh. Drama from Emily always has to make my life scary and more... Bleh.. But if she didn't bring the drama in, then my life would be boring... So, thanks Em! (Kinda not...)

First subject of the day, science! I love science, it's just sooo interesting. If only Chloe wasn't in half of my classes. She's always there to ruin class. It's just my luck that she's in my science class. And my STEAM. And my specials. And my... oops. I just ran out of subjects she ruins for me. I guess that's not a lot of subjects she ruins for me, but still! It's MY life, and I personally think that 4 periods that she's in with me is too many. Like half of my classes are with her! ANYWAYS. Science. Today we are talking about Albert Einstein and his formula E=mc^2 (E equals m times c squared, which means that energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared). Chloe is very glum today, though. She doesn't make a single joke about Einstein's crazy hairdo at ALL like she had yesterday. WHAT IS UP WITH HER??? Wait... what is wrong with me?? I'm not the one who worries about popular kids, Emily already has the job. And when have I ever paid attention to Chloe? Emily... I swear, if this is all your fault, talking about how "dreamy" Seth is all day, you aren't going to live long. At all.

Next up, STEAM. In STEAM, we just read our books that we borrowed from our library. I sit with my friends: Joy and Amberly. Joy's full name is Joy May Reed, and she loves reading and writing! It's like her last name Reed, which is just another "version" of "read". Joy has the coolest dream job ever, a famous author. Like isn't that the best job ever? Next up. Amberly!!! Amberly's full name is Amberly "Amber" Amy Arnolds. Funny, right? Sigh. You don't get it? Her initials are A.A.A!! Out of the three of us friends, Amber is the most athletic. She always gets 1st place in P.E. contests/competitions, and she is the fastest kid in the whole school! (Yeah... She's faster than the 8th graders. Snicker. Snicker)

Again, Chloe doesn't make ANY jokes about the book she checked-out about Romeo and Juliet. Yesterday, she made fun of the kissing scene and even drew a silly picture to show to the whole class. Today she just pouts and reads. This is getting very odd. What happened to the girl who loved to make fun of people and things? I WOULD ask if she had a problem, but she's a popular kid, and I DON'T help popular kids. Um. Excuse me? Why would I think of asking her? EMILY! If this happens to me 3 more times, you aren't going to make it past 6th grade. Ahem. *Cough* *cough* Anyways. I'll just go back to reading the new book, Stellerlune from the series Keepers of the Lost Cities. 

FINALLY. The last class till lunch, which is specials. I can't wait to get back with Em. Oh. Oh no. Oh no!! We have PE today! At least I wore tennis shoes. BUT! I HATE P.E. I'll even say it one more time. Ugh. I HATE PE. My coach is super strict and super mean. Also, we're playing dodgeball, and I'm the WORST at dodgeball. I mean, all the boys in my class throw balls SUPER hard at you, not caring where the ball touches. I got hit in the head THRICE in a game once (Hahahaha. At least the boys who hit me got detention.) and the people who DID that, didn't even care! Good thing Amberly and Joy are on the same team as me. Yeah. In case you didn't know, specials and STEAM are the only classes my besties are in. Which is extremely sad. Well, today, I'll just stay back with Joy. Amberly is also the dodgeball kind, so watch out. She just might zap you in the legs with a dodgeball...

Wait a minute. Is Chloe still sulking about Seth? Oh. Yup. She is. She STILL hasn't made any mean jokes or anything. She also just stays back during the dodgeball game like me, instead of playing up front and getting out like usual. NOPE! Emily, you have 2 more lives. If I find myself feeling sorry for the popular kids, you are getting a lengthy discussion.

Oh, and... I FINALLY GOT SOMEONE OUT!!! Well, not like I usually stay out of the game and stuff. I'm really good at catching balls, and I finally, FINALLY got some mean people out. The mean people, other known as, the "popular boys". It's like popularity has gotten into EVERYONE except me. Ugh. Wonderful. Just wonderful.

YAY!!! PE is officially over for the day! TIME FOR LUNCH!!! Wait. What is Emily doing this time? Oh. She's talking to Seth. Actually, SHE is stuttering. Sigh. When is Em going to learn that popular people are usually mean? Wait. Seth doesn't have his group with him. Hmmmm, I'll just talk to Em.

Emily, I swear to god if she is the lovestruck girl who has gotten the popularity of the popular people in my head. She. Is. Dead. I mean, when have I ever. EVER. Paid. Attention. To. Popular people? Hmmm? I guess I'll leave that for YOU to decide! (Yup you, reader!) Tell me if this is Emily's fault or Patricia's fault. Uhhh. When did I think of Patricia? Did her name just pop into my head? What is wrong with me? Do I have bad mental health? Or is Patricia toying with me...
