MIDDLE SCHOOL DIARY

SEPTEMBER

SEPTEMBER

MONDAY

Before you get the wrong idea, let me just make it clear that this wasn't MY idea in the first place, it was MOM'S.

Plus, I didn't even told her to buy me this THING when she went to the bookstore. There was this awesome new graphic novel called "DIATHRON" and I asked Mom to buy it, but if I knew she was gonna get me a DIARY, I never would have told her about it, because either Mom's deaf or parents have a natural skill of messing things up.

And it's just my luck too, because Mom got me this at my first day of middle school.

I'd like to talk to whoever made the idea of having middle school, because it's the WORST idea ever.

My school is filled with dumb morons, snobbish kids, weird classmates, and even "monster" teachers, if you know what I mean.

Then there's the group of popular kids and unpopular ones. Right now, I'm considered unpopular, but if I can survive this year without embarrassment, everything should be fine.

TUESDAY

OK, the "everything should be fine" part, I take that back. This morning, I came in late for first period, thanks to my older brother, Brad, who locked me in the bathroom by putting a chair under the knob.

When you're a late comer, there aren't any seats left for you to sit on. I usually wake up early during first day of classes, but it looks like things are gonna be different this year.

I saw an empty seat in the back, next to Vanessa Maxwell, who I gotta admit isn't bad looking, but what I DIDN'T know was our teacher was Mr. Carmen, who I think has a history of being a drill sergeant. What I don't like about Mr. Carmen is that he let's us sit boy to boy, and girl to girl, so I ended up with Marcus Daniel, who has a record of smashing the window because a fly landed on it.

WEDNESDAY

Today they started the reading campaign.

They do this kind of thing every year, and every time I submit my report, I get an "F".

But it's not MY fault I got an "F" last year. I DID read my book like we were supposed to, because I'm kind of getting tired of Dad's constant nagging, saying things like, 

"IF YOU DID YOU'RE REPORT MORE SERIOUSLY, YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN AN 'A'.", and blah, blah, blah.

I finished reading the book on the deadline. I didn't have time to think about it, so I just messed with the space and size so it could fit in the whole paper.

MY REPORT by Sam Melvin

Once upon a time there was a man who went on a journey accross the ocean, and then he got sucked in a whirlpool and died. 

THE END.

I know this year's book makes no difference from all the other books I already read, and I ALSO know if I fail this one, Dad will probably have a fit. This year's book was called "The Secret Garden", and I barely made it through the title, so I don't exactly have high hopes on my English grade when they hand out the report cards.
