Part 1 - Grumpy's Journal

Chapter 1

Best Friends, Love-a-Lot and Cheer gossiped as they walked to school on a chilly fall morning.

Up ahead Cheer spotted a group of three guys. Hoping, she squinted her eyes to see their color hair. Blue, Brown… YELLOW! Cheer's heart jumped for joy. Funshine was up ahead! Cheer hurried just the slightest bit.

Love-A-lot also noticed Funshine and fixed her skit as she hurried too. Neither of the girls noticed each others hurries as they quickly approached Funshine and his friends.

"Oh, Hey, Love-A-Lot, Hey Cheer," Funshine said.

"Hi, Funshine," Both the girls said in flirting tones. Champ shrugged, used to being overshadowed by Funshine. But Tenderheart wanted to be noticed.

"Hey, Love-a-lot, do you want to see my new Soccer move?" Tenderheart asked Love-A-Lot.

"No thanks," Love-A-Lot said. Tenderheart sighed.

Funshine turned his attention to Grumpy who wasn't far away.

"Grumpy!" He called. Grumpy glared at them. "Come over here!" Funshine called. Grumpy grumbled but walked over anyways.

"You wanna walk with us?" Funshine asked grumpy when he arrived.

"No," Grumpy said. Funshine continued to persuade his complicated friend as share walked up.

"Hello," She said. She quickly scanned the group. Her eyes settled on Grumpy. She blushed a little. Funshine glanced at her and smiled.

"Share!" Funshine exclaimed happily. "Would you like to walk with us?"

"I'm sorry, no, I'm walking with Wish today…" Share said.

"Share!" Wish called as she came out of a building not far. Her house really.

"Sorry, Bye!" Share said. "Coming Wish!" she called to wish.

Funshine sighed sadly. But was back up to his peppy attitude in a sec!

"Well, bye girls! C'mon Grumpy!" Funshine said. He, Tenderheart, and Champ started off. Grumpy reluctantly followed.

"Bye, Love-A-Lot!" Tenderheart called back.

"Bumbling Butterbugs!" Grumpy exclaimed as he frantically searched his desk. "Where did it go?"

"You mean this?" Grizzle said tauntingly to Grumpy. Grumpy looked up to see Grizzle holding his school journal. Grumpy was a grumpy guy, so he had to vent a lot, and having a journal at home just would be a problem for him, so he vented in his school journal, and had made the teacher sworn to secrecy and to never choose his journal entry to read aloud to the class. Some people noticed, like Grizzle, and wondered what was in it. No one ever took it though. "I wonder what this says…" Grizzle said as he opened it. "September 29th,: He started.

Good, that day I only talked about my grades… Grumpy thought. It bought him some time. He got up and ran at Grizzle and grabbed at the Journal. But Grizzle moved out of the way just in time.

"Ha! Oh, this is just about grades!" Grizzled exclaimed. The whole class was laughing. Except Share. Share concentrated on her paper. She wanted to help Grumpy, but she knew she would be in the center of attention if she did.

"October 11," Grizzle started. It was another okay boring one, that day Grumpy just talked about how it was too sunny out. Grizzled started to read the entry anyways. Grumpy grabbed at the Journal again, Grizzle moved it out of the way.

Grumpy grabbed at the journal again, it flew out of Grizzle's hand and fell open on the floor. Grizzle hurried to pick it up. Grumpy bat at it again and Grizzle moved it. Moving it away from Grumpy as he read, "September 19." Grumpy stopped. He strained to remember September nineteenth. It was a long time ago. "Today is the second day of school.." Grizzle continued. Grumpy now remembered. "I'm glad to see everyone again," Grizzle added.

Grumpy prepared his fist and threw it at Grizzle. Grumpy may be the grumpy type, but he wasn't the type to hit someone. But he did anyways. Right in the middle of Gizzle's face.

Share looked up. The scene was horrifying. Grumpy stood there, shock in his eyes, with his fist curled up and by his side. Grizzle had his hand covering his face, he was screaming with pain.

Everyone was silent. No laughing, no whispering, no nothing. Just silence.

"Gosh! Someone get the nurse!" Harmony exclaimed. She stood up. "Oopsy and Good Luck, go get the nurse!" She ordered. Oopsy and Good Luck obeyed. "Share get me the paper towels!" Harmony said. Share hesitated, but got up and hurried to the window, where there was a roll of paper towels.

"Sis! GO get me a cup of water!" Harmony said to Surprise. Surprise hurried out into the hall. And Share handed Harmony the paper towels. Harmony walked over to Grizzle. "Shut up and take your hands off your face," Harmony said to grizzle. He did so, and as expected he had a bloody nose. Harmony dabbed it with her paper towel.

"Where is surprise with that water?" She exclaimed.

"Here I am!" Surprise said.

"What too you so long?" Harmony asked.

"I did it standing on my head! Going there was easy, but I had to get the water three times!" Surprise said. Harmony rolled her eyes as she took the water from her sister. She dabbed a paper towel in it and washed Grizzle's nose.

Share looked at Grumpy, who was now staring blankly at Grizzle. His mind off in another world. She wondered what he was thinking.

"The nurse was busy," Oopsy said as he hurried into the room.

"Doing what?" Harmony snapped.

"Poison Ivy, ten kids got it," Good Luck said.

"She said he should be okay, and if his nose is bleeding then to clean it.. I think…" Oopsy said.

"Oh! I already knew that," Harmony said.

"I think we just wait for the bleeding to stop," Surprise said.

"Sure," Harmony said.

In a few minutes free period was over and their teacher came back. She asked what had happened.

"Grumpy hit me! Suspend him!" Grizzle exclaimed. The teacher looked surprised.

"Is that true Grumpy?" She asked Grumpy.

"Yeah, so what, Ms. Millie?" Grumpy grumbled.

"Well, I mean, come talk with me after class," Ms. Millie (the teacher) said.

After class Grumpy stood next to Ms. Millie's desk.

"Grumpy, I never expected you to let you anger go as far as hitting someone," Ms. Millie said.

"I'm not mad, I'm grumpy," Grumpy grumbled.

"I thought you were doing so well, your diary entries didn't seem so distressed," Ms. Millie said.

"You're acting like I'm some crazy person," Grumpy said.

"I just want to know why you would hit Grizzle," Ms. Millie said.

"He stole my journal," Grumpy said.

"Ah, but is that a reason to hit someone?" Ms. Millie said.

"He tried to read the first entry of the school year, out loud," Grumpy said.

"You mean September 19th?" Ms. Millie asked.

Grumpy shifted his weight as he replied, "Yes."

"Well, I can see your distress, but that is no reason to hit someone," Ms. Millie said.

"You're not seeing it from my point of view!" Grumpy exclaimed.

Ms. Millie started to say something, but then stopped then she said, "Your right. I'm not, I'd be distressed to, I might even hit someone. I don't think you should be suspended for that. What good will it do? You're a smart guy, taking you away from school, would be like a punishment to the grade average of Mayer's Jr. High."

"Thank you," Grumpy said. He turned and left.
