Chapter 17

Annabelle

When I wake up, I feel like I'm jet lagged, but I manage to drag myself out of bed. I dreamed about talking silverware. Surprise, surprise. I wonder why.

Oh well. Anyways... I pour myself a small bowl of cereal and milk, eat most of it, and then head off to school.

When I get there, I inform all of my friends that... "LAST NIGHT I MET VICTORIA BROOKS! SHE KNOCKED OVER A HUUGE THING OF SILVERWARE AND I HELPED HER CLEAN IT UP!"

"Um... that's an interesting dream!" Is Mabel's reaction.

Ali's reaction is: "OH MY GOD YOU ARE so not telling the truth."

"Yes I am! And it was NOT a dream!"

"Yeah, yeah." They say at the exact same time.

"IT'S TRUE! You just wait and see."

When we get to our first class (which is Art), we get the message that there will be a tour coming through today because Lexington Middle School just shut down. Lexington... where have I heard that before??? Hmm? I CANNOT REMEMBER! Grr. This is frustrating.

Aaaaanways, we get through Art with me being tortured because of the following things...

I sit at a table with Chase

It's self portrait day

We just got report cards and everyone's talking about their grades

My grade wasn't amazing

Chase's... was.

I choose not to share my grade with my table because of the previous fact.

If you do not understand the PREVIOUS fact, it is about the fact that Chase got a good grade and I DIDN'T

There, cleared that up.

SO THIS IS THE END OF MY LIST NOW.

And those are all of the reasons that Art wasn't really that amazing! Joyy joy joyyyyy! Almond Joy. EEWWWWW. That's so stuuupid who puts ALMONDS in a CANDY BAR I mean that's like putting sugar on a piece of FISH. Just saying. JUST SAYING. You can have think whatever you want about Almond Joys, but... you know. That's MY opinion. Just, you know, putting it out there...

ANYWAYS. ANYWAYS. RIGHT. Soooo as we continue throughout the day, let me stop you at THIS moment in tiiiime! "This" moment in time is... THE MOMENT DURING HISTORY! Yeah, actually the CLASS history, not like the moment in history, like that but ALSO it is during history class so... YEAH. THAT. Okay, so at that moment in time is when the tour comes through.

It is at that moment when I remember that VICTORIA BROOKS went to Lexington Middle School! Wow! It shut down? Why didn't she just donate some money? Weee ee eeeee EEE eee EEE lllll ll llll LLL LLLL lll. Sorry. Soooorry. OKAY?! I'm sorry about all the random Weee eee eee ee ll l lLL lll llllLll LLLs all throughout this thing. OKKKKAY I'm waaay off track now. Um. Right. Where was I. OH YEAH! So I just remember that when the tour walks in. When a tour comes through, we have to be perfect, model students so that parents will send their kids here. Fun.

Well, I'm not really paying attention, I'm kind of staring off into space. The space around the doooor. Anyways, SUDDENLY Victoria WALKS IN. INTO MY SCHOOL. VICTORIA. BROOKS. WALKS. THROUGH. THE. DOOR. OF. MY. CLASSROOOOOM!!!!!!!!! Wow. Surprising. At least for me.

So I start like staring and trying to make her see me and notice me, which she does, so I start mouthing: "Oh. My. God. VICTORIA BROOKS! Remember? Radio? Ha ha ha you knocked over all the silverware - like forks and spoons and knives!!!!! You were at the Greasy Joint with me last night REMEMBER?" Then, I start laughing like crazy. The tour stares. OOOPS.

She leaves, and I realize everyone is staring. Ooops. SCARY! EVERYONE IS STARING!!!!!!
