Dork Diary 11 1/2

Mackenzie did what?!

OMG! The most surprising thing happened today! You will totally NOT. BELIEVE. ME. Here's what happened:

I was at my locker doodling in my school notebook, pictures of (who else?) Brandon! SQUEEEEE!And then, "Miss Mackenzie," comes by to her locker to put on yet AGAIN,  ANOTHER layer of lip gloss, her lips are probably so shiny now, you can see her from SPACE. But anyway, I'm getting off subject. As she walks over here in her, what seems like, 5 inch stilettos, I can't help but notice that she's carrying a small wrapped box with heart wrapping paper all over it. I figured it was a gift FOR her, probably from one of her, "secret admirers," I was just praying that Brandon hadn't given it to her! All that was going on in my head was,

"Please not Brandon, Please not Brandon, Please not Brandon!"

And as I had my eyes so tightly shut, I could HEAR  Mackenzie clopping up to my locker. I slowly peeled my eyes open, hoping she wasn't going to slather my face with her lavender scented lotion and her strawberry lipstick. But instead, I was shocked to see her smiling at me holding a present with a name written on it, and it was, NIKKI?!

"Hi Hon! How ya doin'?"

"Um, good, thanks..."

"I just wanted to say, your diary goes so great with your jean jacket!"

I wanted to say, "Why are you all the sudden so nice to me? Yesterday you were vicious, like a cobra snake thingy hunting a mouse or whatever they eat." But I decided I shouldn't just ignore her compliment, I mean, what if she starts to be like this all the time now! Yes... That would be the answer to my prayers! (That and  finding out if Brandon has RCS every time he talks to me too!) So I complimented her back, saying,

"Thanks Mackenzie! I really like your..."

I couldn't think of anything to compliment her on! I tried to genuinely compliment her, but there was nothing NICE about her to compliment her on! So I looked around and saw her mirror, so I said,

"MIRROR! I really like your mirror. Did you put more, glitter on it?"

I tried to look past all of the Brandon pictures in her locker, but I pushed that to the back of my mind.

"Actually hon, it ISN'T glitter, they're French sequins, and they cost more than your ENTIRE outfit. Not to brag or anything!"

I just HAD to do an eye roll at that girl, but I did it in my head, so nobody knew but me. Instead, I decided to say,

"Wow! That's pretty cool! So... Did you stop by my locker just to compliment me and my diary cover?"

Mackenzie smiled,

"Actually, I came by to give you this!"

She held out her hands with the little box inside of her palms. I carefully took the package out her hands and unwrapped it, hoping there wouldn't be one of those fake snake thingies that pop out when you open the box. but instead, I found turquoise and gold dangle earrings!

With a face full of shock, I thanked her, but I still had a question for her

"Hey, why'd you get me a present? It's nowhere NEAR my birthday. Or Christmas."

"Well, I felt sorry for bullying you yesterday about your dorky besties, and your diary, and your hairstyle, and-

I interjected

"I get the idea, but why are you getting me a gift for it? I mean, I LOVE the  earrings, but.."

"I didn't think I would be able to cover all the bullying I did to you with just an apology, so I hope this covers it."

"Yes! Again Mackenzie, thanks for the gift, I'll wear them all day today."

Mackenzie smiled, saying, "I'd better go, or I'll miss bio! Toodles!" and she sashayed away, UGH! I just HATE IT when that girl sashays. Even AFTER she gave me designer earrings! SQUEEEEE! But then I realized I had to go to bio too! But even when I was there, I could care less about the class, and care more about Brandon's blonde hair, cute looks, and his personality. Oh yeah, and Mackenzie's gift, but I didn't think about that as much as Brandon!

As soon as I got out of that boring class, I ran to Chloe and Zoey's lockers and put a sticky-note on them saying, "Janitor's closet, important meeting!" And waited for their arrival.

About ten minutes later they came running in saying,

"What's so important? Are you okay? You didn't turn yourself blue again did you?"

I tried to calm them down and assure them that I was okay, but a bit weirded out.

"I'm okay! And NO I didn't turn myself blue."

They both sighed in relief and I chuckled a little bit.

"Actually, my news is about Mackenzie..."

I told them the whole story, and they were so shocked that she gave me earrings and apologized. And after our meeting had ended, we were by my locker, and then comes Brandon walking up, I didn't notice him, but Zoey and Chloe did, and they immediately started fixing my stray hairs and straightening my clothes, until I said, "What are you guys DOING?" They started giggling and turned me around to have me see a blushing blonde hair boy named Brandon! He was staring at his feet and smiling and then looked up at me.  When he looked up he said to me,

"Hey Nikki! Do you think we could, um, you know... talk?"

"Sure Brandon! Oh! Zoey and Chloe," I lowered my voice to a whisper, "Wait for me by my locker, I'll tell you what happened when I get back." I smiled, and walked away with Brandon side by side blushing.
