"Lemonade?"
"No, Its too much."
"Please, I'm trying to earn money for a cellphone. And it's only $10 per glass, and I haven't got any costimers yet."
"Change the price or I will never get lemonade from you!"
I shook my head slowly.
"Just leave."

A few days later, I had $1 so far for my cellphone. I knew I had $499 left to get. Then I screamed: "Cellpone!" untill I lost my voice  "Can you shut up for a moment, I'm doing home work!" exclaimed my brother. Yes, I know I haven't told you I have a brother, but that's him.
"What home work?" I asked.
"Reading." He answered.
"You never read." I corrected him.
"I read comic books." He pointed out.
"Thats not homework." I argued.
"It is if I want it to be." He answered. I moaned. But then I had an idea. "Can you please give me $499?"
"What's it for?" He asked.
"Cellpone." I answered.
"NO!" He retorted. I scowoled.

A week after that, I got a note from school saying that the school dane is on the 16. Right now it is the 8. I moaned. I knew my mom would make me go. "Mom just wants me to be a princess." I murmured. Just then, my mom burst in.
"Your teacher called me. And I got the perfect dress for you!" She screeched. My mouth dropped open. She had a tight, mint-green, sparkley dress! There's no way she's gonna get that dress on me, I thought. My mom just smiled. I guess she thought I liked it, but she is wrong! "I knew you'd like it!" She exclaimed. I just kept staring at her. "Well, are you gonna say something?" Mom asked, still smiling. She snapped her fingers at me, I shook my head. "So, what do you think?" She wanted to know. "I.........uh.......it's....nice." I answered. "Good." Mom replied.

A day after, it was thursday. And I had bigger problumes than the dance and this is: Josh. I choke when he's around me, let alone talk to me. In sience today, we had to pick partners, I burned up. You know why? You guessed it. Josh picked VANESSA!!! She is the most popular, yet bossiest, person in the school! Not only that, I ended up with Brad! He's the most disgusting, nerdiest person in the school, maybe the world! Today, we were dicecting a frog, and I guess Brad thoughr that ment eat it because that's what he did. Everyone laghed, and guess who laghed the hardest? Josh. I could feel myself turrning bright red. Today was horible! After that, It was time to get on the bus. I went to my locker.
"Doubble." I heared someone say. I turned around to find Vanessa. "You got the dusgusting one, and he ate the frog!" She laghed, then walked away. I sighed. Then I got on the bus. Guess what? Vanessa is going home with a friend that sits with two different people and V had to sit with me. "Hi C." She smirked. I glared at her. "You going to the dance? I'm going with Josh." V tries so hard to make me choke. Be happy V, you did. I choked so hard that the bus stopped and called my mom to pick me up, ASAP! When my mom got here I was still choking. "Honey, what happened?" She asked. I glared at V again. Mom looked over at V, smiled and told her. "Hi Vanessa, honey, don't glare at people."
"Hi Jenet." that's my mom's name, Jenet. I started getting of the bus, V whispered, "Vanessa and Josh sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N..." I ran the rest of the way so I could not hear it. I knew what she was gonna say next: -G. First come's love, then come's marraige, then come's a babby in the babby carrige. When I got home, mom forced me to wear the dress. I fought and fought but evencilly, she got the dress on. "Honey, you look so beutiful!" She exclaimed. "I look like an elaphant with green skin." I muttered. "You can take the dress off after one more thing." Mom told me. SNAP! She took a picture of me! "OK, now. You can take the dress off." I tore that dress off. I hated it! Today was the best, not! I wonder what will happen tomarrow.

It's tomarrow and I found out what was gonna happen. First, V told everyone that it wasn't Brad who ate the frog, it was me, and everyone made fun of me. Next, Josh asked me if I really did eat the frog, and when he talks to me it comes out like this: Hey Carter, wanna date me? So I went off into space and answered yes. He looked disgusted and ran away, I snapped out of space and called, "Hey Josh, come back! If you're wondering, I didn't eat the frog!" But to late, he was already gone. Last, mom invited V over. She isn't here yet. But I already know what's gonna happen.
