Today's Episode: Game Fever
Chapter 1
JUNE
Tuesday
The school year was coming to an end again, and as you know about me, I'm probably happy about that. Of course, that meant no more staring at Holly Hills for three months but that also means I can get back to my gaming. The whole school is doing some fun things in June like right now, but I'm not so sure about it. Field Day is supposed to come up next Wednesday you can say that I'm not really good at sports. Last time in fifth grade, when I tried the sack race, I fell down four times just for coming around the cone!
Rodrick had lesser bad memories that me, which I guess makes him better in sports than me. I mean, like he is more of a drummer than an athlete but believe it or not, a couple years ago, when Rodrick was in recess, he scored a winning three-pointer when the bell rang! You should've seen that scene! Rodrick's team was going wild and some teachers had to calm them down!
Well today, we are doing this fancy coloring worksheet that seems so weird on how to do. The good thing about this worksheet is that it doesn't really require a lot of math, considering that I have a C- in math now.
So basically, to do this worksheet, you have to match the lines on a number but it has to be somehow the same as the letter. Match the letter and numbers with a line and then you get some kind of picture when you're done. Like let's say you're matching "D", then you match it with the number "Four". It is pretty easy once you get the hang of it but as I was coloring mine, I accidentally broke my red crayon so I had to borrow Rowley's. Rowley didn't seem too pleased that I had to borrow his, but I guess the thing that matters is that he is willing to give his crayon.
Wednesday
Yesterday night, I kind of really cut through a wall with my video gaming time. I was still banned from video games for two weeks but this time, was I guess my lucky day. When Mom and Dad were in bed, I somehow woke up in the middle of the night. I was glad I did that because I finally got the Plasma Ray from Twisted Wizard. Unfortunately, I only got to sleep for two more hours, so when I got to school, I had to sleepwalk. I didn't want to have another repeat of last time when I accidentally hit the fire alarm, but this time was a different story. As everyone was waiting in the cafeteria, don't ask me HOW but I staggered into a garbage can.
If I could do that over again, I would've just slept some more to avoid everyone laughing at me. And I think I still had to take a SECOND SHOWER when I got home.
Friday
I can't believe it! Dad actually figured out that I played video games last night as he is really letting me have it. Just as I was done playing, I accidentally left the video game channel on where I used to play it. When Dad turned it on, he saw the video game channel. That was really bad, and now I have an extra week of waiting without video games. Recess made up for it though. When I was hanging out with Rowley, we saw a group of kids playing wall ball. None of us played it before but we sure knew what it was.
Rowley was really eager to play it, but I guess I have no choice, so I caved in with him. Let me just say, that was one of the smartest moves I had ever made. The rules in the game were really simple. You basically hit the ball against the wall but you can't hold or catch it. People line up and there are two people in where a square in front of the wall is. You lose if you catch it, the ball does not hit the wall, or you simply miss the ball. The winner however, stays in the square.
Rowley was getting really good at this game, but I am now afraid that he might stop hanging out and just play here instead. Well I might as well hang out here then!
Saturday
I and Dad were sent out to get some groceries, and Dad wasn't really excited that he was taking someone who was playing video games at the middle of the night. When we got back in the van with the groceries, I can tell that Dad was still ticked off. When we got home, I called Rowley, and said that I have a three week video game ban still in progress. I think Rowley is watching TV right now, because I could hear the sounds of a flamethrower in the background. When I was done calling Rowley, I went to my room and then sat down on my bed. I don't think I can survive more than another day with video games, so that obviously meant that I will have to play somewhere else or undercover. I decided going to Rowley's house, so when Mom was taking a nap and Dad was fixing some kind of leak in the bathroom sink that Rodrick had caused, I grabbed my Twisted Wizard CD, and then quickly rushed out of the door. I was really glad that I played video games with Rowley, because now I get to have some more time with technology.
Monday
I think to be honest with you, Rowley is too addicted to wall ball now. Like so addicted, that if you were to go out in recess right now, you'd see Rowley playing wall ball. In fact, I think he is making some friends over by there. Then I guess that moves him popularity rate by like maybe from 150 to 126. That's a really large difference from last time, and I hope it doesn't change any time soon. In fact, I think that now, he is hanging out with them more then ME now which are getting really annoying. Honestly, I don't need them to interfere with my life! I wasn't in the mood for Phys Ed anymore, because it was really too much for me.
Wednesday
FINALLY! It's field day! Unfortunately, even that won't make up for my situation in wall ball. When the teacher went over the stations, my heart quickly sank. She said that there first station is the sack race, then the Limbo, after that, musical chairs, the Super Monkey Bars, Wall Ball, Frisbee Toss, and then the Parachute. I was getting really depressed that we were playing some Wall Ball and I wasn't really looking forward to it. Maybe I guess that this day won't be really the field day that would be fun, but I guess anything is possible.
