Tale of a Middle School Nobody (6th grade)

As the days go by...

"No I turned it in! I promise!"

"Elizabeth, if you had turned it in he would have it!"

My mom and I were in a heated discussion over some stupid math project that I knew I didn't do, but it was easier to blame Mr. Vanderhoop.

Little did I know this would start the reputation I would have all through middle school, at least.

"Elizabeth," my mom sighed "I don't know what to do"

Being the *wonderful* actress I am (actually I'm not bad) I had fake tears in my eyes trying to convince her. Not that I had anything she could take away really.

"Mom, you have to believe me!"

She sighed again trying to decide what to do. I looked so innocent, of course I was back then. But that wasn't going to last long.

Finally after a while she decided to believe me (psh ya not smart) cause she thought she knew when I was lying (she didn't) so I got off the hook and just had to do it and get half credit.

I had an F in math.

It was all because of that stupid project. When I finally turned it in it jumped right to a B.

Of course then I had an F in English.

"UGH JUST KILL ME NOW!" I practically screamed while doing makeup work.

"Elizabeth, if you had done it in the first place it wouldn't be this bad!"

'Ok mom thanks for your input not that I asked for it' I thought angrily.

What? what is happening to me? I have never, EVER, been like this! I think it's all getting to my head, I need a break.

I went to my room and laid down for like a minute before I was asleep.

"Hey Elizabeth long time no see huh?"

"H-hey Lewis," I stuttered "what's up?" I was desperately trying to not sound, well, desperate.

"Nothin' much, I was wondering if you want to eat pizza or chicken?"

"What the-"

"ELIZABETH!"

I woke up suddenly realizing that it was not Lewis about to ask me to the next dance but actually my mom asking what I want for dinner.

Wow.

Fail much?

"Huh?" I sleepily asked.

"I asked what you want for dinner" my mom said sighing.

What is it with her and sighing lately?

"Oh, pizza of course!"

"That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure."

"Well the answer will always be pizza so next time don't wake me up."

"Please." I finished when I saw the look she gave me. it actually scared me and let's just say that not much scares me.

I honestly just want to get back to my dream but I know that wont work so I just lay in bed till she calls me to dinner.

"Stuart! Elizabeth! Robert! Turner! Dinner is ready!!"

Apparently all three of the boys voted for chicken so my dad went to get cokes and chicken from publix (and tbh they have the BEST chicken like, anywhere other than chick-fil-a so I wasn't to disappointed) so I went an dove in.

"Shut up!" Preston Clog wouldn't leave me alone. And was really making me mad.

"All I'm saying is that your little brother is a wimp."

Ok. when you start to insult my brothers then you need to watch your back.

Preston was telling me about my little brother busting into tears yesterday in the parking lot 'cause Preston pushed him down.

"Takes one to know one." I retorted before storming out the door.

"That was intense." 'Shelly commented. she hated him as much as I did and knew that I was so close to punching him in the face.

"Ya I wish he would learn to shut his trap every once in a while." I was still mad but since me and 'Shelly got to go into the hall to work on our project I was calming down.

We sat down and like 20 minutes after we started to work Lewis walks by.

Shelly looked at me and said, "isn't that the guy you like?"

"Ya but I have no chance with him." I told her.

She looked at him as if she were studying him then stood up and walked towards him, without a word to me about what she was gonna do.

I just sat there in horror as she walked up to him, said something that I couldn't hear, then walked back.

She only took five steps before she busted out laughing, like I thought she was gonna pee herself.

"What did you say?" I questioned her when she got back.

She would not stop laughing.

I looked over at Lewis with an expression that asked what she said but he look as confused as I felt then just walked away.

I looked at her with such a puzzled face that she took one look at me and laughed even harder.

I just sighed and waited impatiently for her to calm down.

Did I say she is a spazz sometimes? Ya this is one of those times.

"Wait," huff, "I," huff, "can't," huff, "breath!" huff.

Man! This child!

"Ok" she put her hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing, "I went up to him," she did the hand thing again, "and told him his head was as big as Jimmy Neutron's!"

I just stared at her.

She was laughing THAT hard because of that.

I was speechless.

Ya it was funny but, wait a second.

"'Shelly?"

"Ya?" she replied between breaths.

"Did your mom give you coffee this morning?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"How'd you know?" she giggled.

Oh brother.
