MacKenzie's Diaries Book #1

April 9, Monday

  OMG! Today, was the most terrible day of my life! I am soooo not kidding! Oh, I'm already having bad flash-backs just writing about it!

  Today, in chemistry class, we were working on mixing a lot of chemicals in together to see what might happen to them.

    Honestly, I just added random chemicals to mine thinking nothing would happen. Then, when I was done, mines smelled funny. I covered my nose from the stinky stench. Ugh!

    Then, it was time to present our mixed chemicals to the whole class.

     One nerd presented hers and it was pretty unbelievable. Hers exploded into a tiny burst of a firework. The crowd applauded. She bowed and took her place to her seat.

    If an ugly nerd can present her assignment to the class without looking like a total idiot, so can I. I sat straighter trying to impress my peers one more time.

     "MacKenzie Hollister, please, come up to present your mixed chemicals," Mr. Fickleburg, my chemistry teacher, said.

     I put a big, uncomfortable smile on my face and strutted up to the front of the room where all eyes were on me. I heard snickers coming from everyone in the room. EVEN MR. FICKLEBURG!

      "Ahem," I said, interrupting all the hushed whispers.

      Everybody turned to face me and folded their hands. Perfect.

      "Nothing is happening," one girl called out.

      I nudged my huge black bowl filled with different substances. What was going on? No matter what, isn't it supposed to do something, or was this some kind of joke? I frowned and stuck my head inside the bowl. Suddenly, a big shot of a green substance shot in my face! I gasped.

       Everybody was laughing at me! EVEN MR. FICKLEBURG! I was really starting to hate my chemistry teacher! Everybody pointed at me looking like they had been enormously tickled.

        Tears rushed down my cheeks, and I just ran out of the classroom just like that feeling lost and miserable.

        That was a bad idea! All the classes had ended and when people came out they saw my face covered in green, gooey goop. OMG! It was so embarrassing. More people laughed hysterically.

        My face started burning badly now. Not from the humiliation. It was from the pain of the chemicals. I went home calling sick. My face was still covered in the gooey stuff. I frowned as I drove in my limo riding back home. I glanced at the time on my cell phone. It was 9:50am. 
       
          When I got home, I had to wash all the dirty, green chemicals off my face. It took like almost 2 hours to get it completely off. Some of it was still in my ears, but I was too lazy to even clean that part. I was too tired. I fell into a deep sleep in my bed dreaming about what might happen tomorrow. It was like some sort of terrible nightmare.....
