Dork Diaries: Telling The World (5)

OLD FRIENDS, OLD FOES:

Nikki's P.O.V:

This hotel is amazing!

It sorta reminds me of the time that I went to Miami beach with my friends for a vacation.

The ending wasn't so good but the days before then we're so good.

I remember, I think it was

Me
Brandon
Chloe
Zoey
Theo
Marcus
And Maxwell.

Maxwell...

Nevermind. But anyway, this hotel really is 5 Star quality. I asked everyone what their room situation is.

I'm sharing with Brandon.
Chloe is sharing with Zoey.
Theo is sharing with Marcus.
Violet is sharing with Marcy.
Preston is sharing with Tyler.
Brianna is sharing with Amanda.

Conveniently, we're all staying on the same floor together.

Together, just like old times. Before fame, before expulsion, before disownership.

It's very nostalgic. I-

MACKENZIE: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE MAXWELL?!"

That's one kind of nostalgia that I don't want to feel. I could tell exactly who that voice belongs to even from a mile away!

NIKKI: "Hi Mackenzie, and it's Nikki ROBERTS. You should know that by now, my name is famous worldwide."

MACKENZIE: "I know you're famous worldwide, your fans only consist of nerds and dorks who don't know their place in life. AT THE BOTTOM OF SOCIETY!"

NIKKI: "Many celebrities are fans of me, I've even won a Grammy... Or 10."

MACKENZIE: "Just remember that you're only famous because you cheated!"

NIKKI: "But I won the Student of Stars contest fair and square, right?"

MACKENZIE: "Forget about that dumb, meaningless contest... I'm talking about the TALENT SHOW!"

NIKKI: "Talent Show? Ohhhh, the talent show that 'Mac's Maniacs' won?"

MACKENZIE: "YES THAT ONE! You failed to apply for the contest, but they just HAD to let you compete out of sympathy!"

NIKKI: "My band's name was 'Actually I'm Not Really Sure Yet'. There was no cheating, I applied fair and square."

MACKENZIE: "Dorkalicious was your freak show band's name! You just cheated by changing it!"

NIKKI: "It's called using initiative, something you clearly have nothing of. I didn't cheat by using the name that was on the sheet."

MACKENZIE: "GRRRRRRRRRR! If you hadn't have cheated, then you would have NOTHING!
1. You wouldn't have entered the contest.
2. You wouldn't have been noticed by Trevor Chase!
3. You wouldn't have been handed a reality show!
4. You wouldn't have held a release party!
5. You wouldn't have kissed that no taste in girls idiot formerly known as Brandy!"
6. You wouldn't have sang with him at the Final Dance!
7. The SOS contest wouldn't exist!
8. You wouldn't have won it!
9. You wouldn't have a debut solo!
10. YOU WOULDN'T BE FREAKING FAMOUS!"

NIKKI: "Oh should've, would've, could've. Does that really matter? Where are you and where am I now Mackenzie?"

MACKENZIE: "You're the mother of a cruel little brat!"

NIKKI: "Say...that...again."

MACKENZIE: "I said that your the mother of a cruel little brat!"

NIKKI: "Say anything you want about me, call me a dork, call me a freak, call me a cheater. But nobody... And I mean NOBODY, EVER TALKS ABOUT MY DAUGHTER LIKE THAT!"

MACKENZIE: "What are you going to do about it Nikki? You gonna beat me down so bad? Well, Megan is going to wipe the floor with Renée in the TTW contest! But I have no problem with putting you down like the worthless dog that you are right now!"

NIKKI: "DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT DOGS THAT WAY EITHER!"

MACKENZIE: "I'm sorry, that's so offensive. I never knew that you thought so much about your kind. Get it? You're a female dog. Which means that I'm going to adopt you, take you home and make you my bitc- AAARRRGGGHH!"

Before I could throttle this- um... Not so nice word... She was hit from above by eggs. It was hilarious! They coated her expensive looking dress and everything.

Thinking about it, I would have been very sympathetic towards Mackenzie at a time like this in middle school. But after what she said about Renée, I can't forgive her.

I must have some guardian angel or something because if I had beaten Mackenzie up... then that would have made the front page news. My career would be ruined!

That must have been Mackenzie's plan all along. To ruin my star profile.

Thanks guardian angel for saving me from getting caught in Mackenzie's trap.

Maxwell's P.O.V:

Bullseye!

Mackenzie, Mackenzie, Mackenzie...

Didn't you ever learn?

You gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette. The same rules apply for saving careers.

Like hell am I going to let you ruin Nikki's fame, even if I don't want to meet her in person ever again...
