#WritingWithGrace -Freak Week: Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Dear Robot Diary,

Sorry I haven't written to you all day. You probably don't care. I mean, it's not like you have feelings or anything. Oh gosh, I'm so sorry Robo-D! I didn't mean that. Please forgive me, it's just...I've had a rough day. Ya know, being trapped in my high school and all. The day started off with a BANG. Literally. Marmie, Banana and I were walking around the school in the early hours of the morning while everyone else was sleeping. Marmie turned to us and said "What do you think is gonna happen today?" And that's when it happened. A pig with angel wings flew right into the window of the cafeteria, nearly killing us! Well, I shouldn't say that. Sadly, the pig looked as dead as the split ends of my hair (Seriously, I've been growing my hair out since 2016. After the bangs incident, I vowed to never go to a hair salon again).

Enough about my hair. More about the flying pigs. We saw dozens of pigs just flying casually in the sky as if they were Sparrows circling the atmosphere. It was insane, Robo!
"Hey Lace. Didn't you say you would tell Crush you had feelings for him when pigs fly?" Marmie winks.
She was right. I did say that. But of course I didn't know pigs were gonna be flying! Banana agreed and said, and I quote, "Now's your chance, Heavensmall! If he thinks you're weird, just blame it on freak week. After all, people tend to be discombobulated during this time of the year!"

Oh! I'm so rude. I haven't even told you about Crush! Well, he's very cute. He has the prettiest blue eyes (Although, Banana hates when I say that. She thinks she has the best blue eyes...just don't tell her that I think Crush's eyes are better, okay?). His hair is red, a little lighter than Marmie's, which makes him even more unique. He's a country boy. In fact, his family owns a farm with a whole herd of animals! There's cows and horses and pigs and lambs an- Wait! Pigs! He has pigs! I wonder if his pigs are okay! Gosh, I hope that pig that made itself into pork chops wasn't one of his. I should go ask him about it. Please hold. I'll be back soon.

**********************************

I was definitely not expecting what happened tonight, to happen. I told Crush about the pigs and he followed me up the stairs to look out the window. After a while of looking at the flying swine, he gasped and pointed to one that was sitting in a nest in the midst of tree branches.

"Hammy!" He yelled.

"Is that one of yours?" I asked.

"That's my favorite pet! He's the runt of the last litter we had! I have to get him out of there!" Crush said.

Without thinking, he ran out of the doors and pushed through the wind towards the willow tree. Then, I thought, he must be crazy! Why would he risk his life for a pig? The little piggy was probably just on his way to the market! I thought for sure Crush was gonna get attacked. Now that the zombie apocalypse already happened in 2018 during freak week, it must be the pig apocalypse now. I mean everyone, dead or alive, should have the chance to take over the Earth for at least 24 hours. It's only fair.

Guess what happened next! No seriously, guess...alright time's up. Crush actually got Hammy from the tree and made it back inside without getting attacked! Isn't he so talented?! Like he's cute and athletic. Total package deal, am I right Robo?
Anyway, sorry. You probably don't care. Not that you don't have feelings, cause I know you do! Remember? We settled this earlier.

We took Hammy back to the basement but Hammy didn't adapt too well...he got away from Crush's embrace and started flying around the entirety of the cold room. We all took turns trying to catch him but then Harry was banned from helping because he took out a bag of bacon flavored chips to try and lure Hammy in. Crush was furious and slapped the chips out of his hands, yelling "Get those out of here before Hammy sees!" I was surprised by the outburst but I loved how Crush stood up for his piglet. Hammy's like his child. It's adorable.

I wanted to tell Crush how I felt about him because, after all, I did say I would when pigs flew. And they sure did fly today. But he seemed to have a lot on his plate. He had a cheese sandwich, cold pizza AND an enormous bottle of orange juice. With that much on his plate, I didn't want to bother him with my feelings. Which you and I both have, Robo! Don't worry, I didn't forget about your feelings!

Anyway, I should get going. While today was certainly interesting, it was also absolutely exhausting. At the moment, I'm curled up in the corner listening to Hammy squeal his life away while everyone else is "sleeping". I honestly think they're faking it because seriously Hammy is so loud right now. I hope he adjusts soon because I need my body to be ready for tomorrow's outrageous events. Day 3, here I come!
