Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Sleepover Disaster

Monday 18th May

Today is the day. Rowley said that we could bring some food so it looks like this sleepover really matters. I told Rowley to come over and bring some chocolate cookies for her and I would work on the drinks. I have a feeling that girls like Squash, beacuse at school parties, they are ALWAYS at the juice bar having Squash. But the thing is, I don't HAVE any Squash left. I left it out last night and when I woke up, Manny was having the last glass.

I'm home alone today so thats a good thing. Mum said that I was not allowed to have friends over until I finished my homework, but she wouldn't know. As long as Rowley and I be as secretive as we can, we'd be off the hook.

I searched the whole kitchen upside down looking for a drink, and all I found was spare lemonade from last years summer. I figured that if mum hadn't threw it away, that ment it was STILL edible. I poured 2 bottles for me and Holly, I got the lid on and plopped it in a fancy bag that was decorated in hearts and flowers with a blue backround.

By now, Rowley had arrived. He said that Fregley kept chasing him so he had to duck and wait for him to go. But when Rowley showed me the cookies, it was MELTED. Rowley waited for so long that it melted. I told Rowley to look in every single draw and see if there was any biscuits or cookies we could use.

While Rowley sorted that out, I made my account on ROBLOX. I figured a cool name would work, so I typed RapperGreg101. But some idiot had already TOOK that username, so I had to do a different one. Lots of people like Lily don't actually use their real name. It even says at the corner " Don't use your real name!".

I figured that I could let it go for now. My name would have to have J in it, as J is the coolest letter. Jose seemed cool enough so I took it. Now I just needed a few extra bit of words. I decided that since I am new I could just add that in. Plays Roblox was short and cool enough so I grabbed that. JosePlaysRoblox.

I got my password done and my birthday aswell. I pressed sign in and saw a bunch of games. But I looked like a werid dude, so I went to catalog and searched up red hair but it cost something called robux. I left it because I heard Rowley calling me.

He had actually found some biscuits that girls would like. It was a heart shaped jam biscuit, and everybody knows how girls love hearts. Rowley gave it to me but it had melted cookie fingerprints all over it. I wiped it away and carried on, but I realised that Rowley had left fingerprints ALL over the kitchen.

So for the next 2 hours, we were wiping every little fingerprint Rowley had left. It was around 8:00 in the morning, so we had no worries about time. But we could've used that time for something else if it weren't for Rowley being a doofus.

We then remembered something: a gift. When Holly lets you in the party, she expects you to leave a gift next to the captus with a bow on, to say a " thank you" since Holly's parents work super hard to make these parties possible for her. She dosen't allow cheap gifts from the dollar/ pound shop though. She accepts gifts that are like £30-£50.

My mum ALWAYS goes to the dollar/pound shop for our supplies though. Rowley's mum goes to Sally's ( the most expensive shop in our town) so I suggest she has a BUNCH of cool things Holly would accept. But Rowley complained that we needed to bring our own stuff for Holly. So I needed to find something in MY house instead of Rowley's.

My house looks pretty good and stuff but really, NOTHING is what Holly would ACCEPT. That meant I had to search the whole HOUSE inside out. I remember once when mum had bought a gift for a birthday party; but we ended up not going and keeping the present to ourselves.

Well, I can't exactly remember WHAT it was, but I will always remember that it is still in the basement up to this day.

So I tropped down to the basement and looked for the gift that had a tag named "To Richard." I realised that mum had bought a BUNCH of presents for birthday parties we never ended up going to. If it wasn't it use anymore, I could still OPEN it.

So for the next few minutes I ended up opening every single gift hoping for something decent enough. I found a bunch of markers and textbooks, but the most thing I found was PERFUME.

A few years ago, there was a competion for all the ladies at the park for who was the nicest. So you had to buy a gift for every single lady in the neighbourhood. A worker would be at each house collecting the presents. The winner would win a free ticket to the " Calm and Peace concert" ( a popular show for ladies back in those days).

Mum had bought about 30 perfume packets for every lady. But what mum never knew was that each gift had to be DIFFERENT so all the workers could see how expensive it was. Some women complained to mum when she saw her carrying 30 boxes of perfume. So mum decided to stack it in the basement for " extras."

Mum had bought 1 perfume that was for the owner of all the nonsense. It was around £33 and had a heart shaped size. But the best bit was the SMELL. The smell was like being in heaven-Rose flowers. But the owner never accepted it since mum only bought perfume. So if I took that, Holly would accept it. I grabbed it and ran up the stairs as fast as a cheetar all excited.

I found some old wallpaper that was filled with strawberries, and I wrapped it with the perfume. When Rowley saw me he knew he had no chance of beating me. It felt awesome actually HAVING something to be proud of.

Now that we were all packed and ready, Rowley suggested we could make him a ROBLOX account since he never had the time too. I agreed and we went up to my room and made Rowley's new account. He wanted it to be cute and modern, so I wrote " Rowleyxox." It was ment to be a joke, but Rowley actually LIKED my username I made for him. So now people won't friend me because of Rowley's username.
