Dork Diaries: Gwen's Story

Thursday 13th September

Yeeeeeey I'm super happy. Today was awesome

Yesterday not so much. After hearing the racket. I dashed downstairs to the basement where the noise was coming from. Only to find Glen and his friend Martin practising for their so called band 'The Rock And Rollers' really!??

Its barely a band. Just a dude playing his drum set with his friend who plays the guiter. "Could you guys keep it down! Please my eardrums can't take anymore of this." I complained.

But guess what, the guy ignores me. Instead, he plays even louder. What the heck. 'Oh so you wanna play it that way' I thought in my head.

"Muuuum.....daaaad " I said running to the living room. "Glen won't stop playing that noise he calls music" Glen then entered the room. "Please tell Gwen to mind her own business and let us play coz cleary she wouldn't know music if it slapped her on the face." One insult led to the other and before you could say Emma Stone my parents got sick and tired of us arguing "To your rooms now and I better not hear another word from you two!!" Said my furious mum "But muuum" we complained. "Listen to your mother kids" dad said flipping a page of the newspaper. We dragged ourself upstairs ,entered our separate rooms and shut the door hard. Aaaagh at that point. I wished I was born without a twin. Cody is way better. At least he kept me company by making me listen to him play the flute. Now that was music.

Anyway ,today was awesome. After classes. Skyler and I walked Kim to her locker. We were talking about the Fall Fest Dance. They told me its held every year in our school at the end of September. And there should be a fall princess and prince. So that's what Jennifer was blabbing about. Well she certainly does NOT have my vote and she can ALWAYS count on that☺.

" Jennifer has won the princess title twice in a row and now she thinks she rules us. She wore her tiara last year for a whole week . can you believe it." Kim said. " "Its Jennifer what did you expect." Skyler said laughing. Soon we joined in the laughter.

"Oh BTW guys, My birthday is this Saturday. And you're invited. Obviously" I said handing them both an invitation card. "Sure I'll be there." They both said. They walked me to the lab where I was supposed to meet Justin to work on our chem project.

I found him there using his phone. "Hey.I was just about to call. "Said Justin. "Oh no! did I keep you waiting?" I asked nervously. " No I just got here."he said"so let's get started" Not wasting time, we worked on it all afternoon while talking about staff.

At about three thirty, we were done. I was pretty proud of myself. "So since we're done here. I was thinking we could grab an ice cream if your not busy or anything"Justin asked. Did he just ask that. Omg . no way. So was it like a date or something. No definitely not a date. Its just ice cream. Or does he think it's a date. Naaaa "Sure. I'm not busy. Let's go" I grabbed my purple bag pack and we setoff.

I think I was blushing the whole time. He bought a vanilla and strawberry ice cream while I picked chocolate. I'm a chocoholic. "Its on me" he said as he removed his wallet from his back pocket. "Are you sure?" I asked.
" Ya no biggie" he said. After he paid. He walked me home.

"I had a great time." I said blushing. "Ya me too. "He said " see you tomorrow" He said and as he walked away. As I was turning to the door I remembered something. "Justin wait" I shouted. He turned around and walked back. "My birthday is this Saturday. I was wondering if you'd come."I said shyly handing him a blue invitation card. "Sure I'll be there. " Justin said and then left. I was so happy. I decided my party would be at home. Luckily we have a pool. I was thinking a pool party. perfecto.

-7:07pm-

Dinner time was crazy. For some reason. Mum was mad at dad. And Glen and I were still giving each other silent treatments. No one was talking. Poor Cody was confused. Suddenly, dad cleared his throat "So how was school kids?" He asked."Fine" I said softly playing around with my peas."I had a great day daddy. We had show and tell and I showed Miss Whitney and my class my Spider man race car. Everyone loved it a lot. And then we ate lunch. Everyone was eating good food except David who was eating paste. We all said ewww!" Said my little brother Cody.

"What about you Glen?" Mom asked. "It was great. My band and I get to play in the Fall Fest Dance if we had a base guitar player. That's what the planners said." Glen boasted about his perfect life.

"You know you don't need to brag about how your life is so perfect." I said almost flipping the table. "Gwen are you okey?" Mom asked.

I didn't want to start an argument but believe you me. I had a lot of bad words to say to Glen right there right then @#%&*#. " I'm sorry mom. Its been a long day. I just need some rest"
I said pretending to yawn.

It was quite again for a while until Cody asked" Who was that boy who came here Gwen?" Oh noo. I knew right then something earth shattering was about to happen. Mainly because dad hates me being around boys. Especially alone.Just your average over protective dad. Always protecting their daughters.

"What boy?!"asked dad. I felt like straggling Cody

Its like he WANTED me to get into trouble.

"He's just a friend daddy."I said batty my eyes and doing the puppy dog eyes, "really a friend. What's his name sweetie?" mom asked "Justin" I said trying my best not to blush. Glen stomped his foot in anger. "And what were you doing with this Justin?" Asked dad curiously. "His my chemistry partner and he was just walking me home from school." I said " well looky here its getting pretty late. Better get to bed and get some sleep. So I can be re energized by tomorrow. Good night. I said and got the heck outa there before they could ask more questions. Now I'm in my room and it's 8:01. Gotta go. Have lots of homework to do
