Dear
Diary,
E.
P. Thompson here.
Worst.
Year. Ever. First semester in sixth grade, and my best friend Debbie has
dropped me because my boobs aren’t big enough. Well, she didn’t say that
exactly, but I just know that’s the reason. Then I got paired with Adam Berry,
the biggest pencil-protecting geek of the decade, for the never-ending,
semester-long math project. And as if that’s not bad enough, Thomas Maxwell,
the cutest boy in my grade, only pays attention to me when I’m making a total
fool of myself. Ugh.
Weirdest
thing of all: it seems Lucas C. Tanner Middle School has a full-on, bona fide
thief! Now all the teachers are going crazy and all the students are too,
because Mrs. Peule has promised to make this year a living nightmare until the
culprit is caught. We have to find out who is ruining sixth grade. Like, now!
Well,
at least the criminal activity has taken the focus off my lack of bra
ownership. Sigh.
I
have to go. I’ll write again soon. Promise.
