Dork Diaries : Kaylee's Diary

First day Mon-day

Hey, My name is Kaylee Maxwell!
Today's my first day at Middle school! I'm feeling so jiggly and absolutely nervous right now.
My oldest sister, Nikki is on her honeymoon with the Brandon Roberts, Middle and High school sweethearts. All she ever does when she visits home ( which is very rare) is coo and swoon about Brady this, Brandon that, to mom. Ugh. I'm literally gagging right now. Anyway while, My other sister Brianna is at university, miles away when I am freaking out here in my bedroom. What if I don't fit in? What if my grades are really bad compared to everyone else? What if my teachers are really mean? What if i become a sad' o loner? Oh, I wish she was here now, she would now exactly what to do. The amazing Brianna, my fashionista sister model, complete with envied dorkiness, being always on roll, a great leader with charisma, powerf... Ok. Maybe I sound a bit too obsessed with my sister but I love her so much. Even though she tends to be a bit annoying when she keeps saying "I'm busy, go away." But we all know that she just can't get enough of me. (I'm just way too awesome!=)) Anyways , this morning was hectic!(kinda I think) I rolled out of bed to the sound of my beeping alarm clock going crazy! I spent nearly an hour changing different outfits to get ready for school and went downstairs for breakfast. Don't tell my mom, I sneaked a chocolate bar in my school bag. ( I love choclate so much! I just can't get enough of that delicious goodness! The recipe of chocolate tastes like it fell down from heaven).

Dad drove me to school, in his old croc roach van. I just sat there silently throughout the whole trip, while my dad tried to cheer me up. But I was just too nervous to talk. WOW. That was all i could utter as I stood in front of my new school, Westchester Country. It was like a magnificent castle, just like the ones of those Disney princess castles where I used to dream that I would live in. Here was where my two sisters both learnt their stuff. My parents had finally saved enough money for me to go here. I'm so grateful to them.

After an extremely long welcome assembly (Where I tried my best to squeeze all the info in my brain) I found myself standing in the middle of a huge corridor of school! Two girls rammed pass me, making me drop the books in my arms. Quickly, I bended down to pick them up, " I'm so sorry about my friends, here's your books," I looked up to a pretty brunette in a lovely white dress.
" Its alright , I was just being clumsy standing the middle of the hall way. By the way, do you know wheres Mr Duncan's chemistry class is?" I asked.
" As a matter of fact I do. Walk down the corridor, 3rd doorway on your right."
"Thanks, Bye"

I sprint off, I'm nearly late to my first class.
Third on my right. Third on my right.
I rush into the class, ramming into the back on some one.
[ slow motion]
I awkwardly fall backwards and a pair of strong arms reach out and caught my back. I looked up to see the who the stranger was who caught me. My breath caught in my throat. As I found my self staring into the most gorgeous eyes I've ever seen. Big dark brown eyes, like chocolate that I,wish I could just take a bite of them. Then I hear a voice calling out to me,
" Are you alright? Hey girl, Are you alright?"
I woke up from my trance and realised the close-enough-to-pop- my-personal-bubble- awkward position me and the hot guy were in right now. I blushed really red. All the students were staring at us. To the other students in the room, we probably looked like we were pulling off another one of those ridiculously tango dance moves.
Everyone looked away from each other in the really awkward silence we were in. Suddenly Mr.Duncan; a old, forgetful and bald man who is the chemistry teacher jogged in, beads of sweat ran down his bald head.
" Good morning students, I am Mr.Duncan. Please choose your seats as I take the roll to see whose here."
I blushed beetroot red to the tips of my ears, muttered thanks, and chose a seat at the back.
"Rebecca Halley"
"Here"
"Declan Kim"
"Yo! Sup."
"Lucas Malcolm"
"Present."
I looked at the guy who caught me, Lucas. So that's his name. Lucas. Lucas. Lucas. What? Why am I repeating his name? Who cares about his name? Whatever.
"Kaylee Maxwell"
"What? I'm sorry. Present! I mean here! I'm right here!"
Mr. Duncan chuckled, "I very well know that. Please no more daydreaming during class."
"Yes, sir" I mumbled.
Mr Duncan chose our chemistry partners for the year in alphabetical order and guess who I was partnered up with? That guy with yummy chocolate eyes. What was his name again? Lucas. Lucas Malcolm, right.
Mr.Duncan rambled on about a boatload of stuff and then told us to find our partners and start our experiment.
It was called "elephant toothpaste geyser". I concentrated on my work measuring the ingredients when a voice interrupted me.
"Hey are you alright, Kaylee?"
I looked up at Lucas,and said "Thanks for catching me, concussion wouldn't have been helpful to this chemistry experiment."
He chuckled "Oh, it was alright.No problem."
The experiment went very well, the foamy reaction went everywhere. It was so cool! Lucas and I high-fived each other .
He grinned and said " We make a good team."
I smiled back, "We do don't we."

Second period was maths. It was ok. Ms. Rose seemed really nice. After that was social studies, and I was partnered with the girl I bumped into this morning. She's called Lucy Wordsworth. She's really friendly and fun talk to, and she is obsessed with gossip. Lucy knows nearly everything there is about everyone . Actually, she's even invited me to her house this weekend, to work on our project together. What a relief, now I have one friend. Maybe I won't be a loner, after all.

We were on the way to the cafeteria, when Lucas and two other boys walked past us. "Hey, Kaylee." He said as he waved at me. I caught Lucy as she nearly fainted on me, she gasped " Did Lucas, the Lucas Malcolm, just waved at you?"
I chuckled "Yea, it's no big deal, we're just chemistry partners."
"What! Chem partners ! You lucky girl!" She exclaimed!
"So what?.."
"Lucas is the most popular guy in our grade! The new captain of our boys soccer team! And he's the awesome guitarist in his own rock band! Lucas is the heartthrob of all boys! He is so cute and adorable!" Lucy gushed.
"Ok..." I replied unsure.
" Tell me everything about him. Does he really have a skull- like birth mark on his wrist? Does his eyes really sparkle in the light? Don't leave out a single detail. I want to know everything!"

"Fine, fine," I said as we walked with our food towards a table where Lucy's friends were waving at us. We were nearly there when suddenly someone bumped in front of me. I gasped as I watched everything in slow motion. Oh, Fudge. I thought as my tray of food flew in the air and and came hurling down towards the girl in front of me. I stared at the tall skinny girl with my bowl of Marconi cheese on top of her mass of thick blonde hair and my chocolate pudding all over her expensive white blouse.
"My poor chocolate pudding!" I desperately gasp.
When I noticed the whole cafeteria was silently staring at us. And she was glaring at me furiously.
" Eh... I mean I'm so sorry. It was a total accident. Really, it was" I apologised.
" What are you all looking at? Don't you all have something better to do? " She shouted out to the students around us, glaring back me, "Whatever, you better watch your back." She sneered and sashayed away out of the room with her nose up in the air. Two girls followed behind her and said to me "Yeah ,watch out" and "You're in trouble".
Oh no, really? First day of school and I already have three enemies. Not good .

Lucy guided me back to her table of friends. I sat down quietly with my head clouded with worries.
"Nice one!" I Looked at the at an Asian punk girl sitting across the table from me, who had short black cropped hair with a purple strip in her hair.
" I really didn't mean..." I uttered out hurriedly.
"Don't worry about those spoiled brats, they just think they are better than us because their parents can afford them anything. But who cares. By the way, my name is Emma Suzuki." She grinned.
"Hi, my name is Kaylee Maxwell. I hope you don't mind me sitting at your table? And... who were those girls?" I asked.
The other girl next to her with light honey coloured pigtails and sparkly pink glasses answered " No, it's fine, you seem really nice. My name is Amber-Rose Richards, but my friends call me Techna."
Lucy replied to my second question " Those horrible plastic dolls are the perfect threes," her voice dripped with sarcasm.
" The blonde one, their leader is Mia De La Rosa whose parents are stinking rich. And the two goons who are always behind her are Narcissi and Gertrude. They are the meanest and most popular girls at our school. They don't care about anybody except themselves. We call them the perfect fleas."
My spirit dropped even lower, I gave them a weak smile " I really am in trouble, now".
"Don't worry, we'll all be there for you. You won't be alone." Lucy assured me.
"Of course, that's what friends are for." Techna replied.
Emma grinned "Yea, I so want to kick their butts."
I smiled at them all. Maybe today wasn't so bad after all.
