Mondays

Chapter 1

Okay so hi. My name is Carl McDowell and I made it past the worst day of my week. Monday. It's Tuesday May 3rd and I have to say, Things seem pretty good. My short film for my towns contest is going pretty good and I have no homework. Wait you want to know the plot of my movie? You'll have to wait until it's in a theater near you. Any way before you interrupted me i was talking about how great my week is going. So Friday is the big dance and i'm going to ask Kate Hays (My biggest crush) To the dance. Nothing can go wrong from here.

School was terrible today which is weird. Anyway in math we were given a diagnostic (assessment before a unit) on something my stupid old school never taught me. What do you mean my old school? I never told you this is my first year? Oh well apparently i forget to tell you that this is my middle school and that's why it's my first year. Anyway i probably failed it so that really sucks. Anyway my next 2 periods were Art and language. We are sketching in art and i have to say that I suck. I drew a picture of an apple and someone told me that my cow looked fat. For language we were reading non-fiction and i actually fell asleep in class and missed the assignment. Apparently we have to write a thought provoking article for the school news paper. I think I'll do mine on the flawed school system. So before I forget, we have 1 recess and eating time in the middle of the day. A half hour for eating and a half hour for playing. I played man-hunt and tripped on a rock cutting my knee. I headed to the office for some ice and a Band-Aid but no one was there to help me so i had to wait for the bell and then i was late for science. We learned about physics in space and how they are different from here on earth and then we planned working partners for our project: Simulating space physics. We had a period of French and i got to sit next to Kate (Yes!!!). Anyway we learned how to conjugate imperative verbs. I struggle with French but my parents understand it's not necessary. Our last period was gym. We played Doge ball. I was number 1 on our team. No one could hit me. I blocked and slid and threw ball after ball. 1 out, 2 out, 3 out. I was on fire until i launched a ball someone dodged it and it hit Kate Hays directly, In The, Nose. She falls down and her posse crowds around her and like vultures making sure no one takes there meal they look around until they all stare directly at me. Our gym teacher Mr Zimmerman comes over and takes her to the office. She flashes me a dirty look as she walks by. The bell rings and i head straight to my homeroom. Kate isn't there. I try to keep a straight face but her group of friends seem to be gossiping. I begin to worry if they are talking about me. My thought is interrupted by the bell and i sprint out the door. I hop on my bike and 10 minutes later i'm home. I have to get to babysitting so ill talk to you later.
