Hey guys, I'm back with a new chapter of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth The Movie Adaptation. I know the story is kinda poor but hey cut me some slack because I don't really have the most glittering of resumes. On to the story then, I do not own Diary of a Wimpy Kid or any of its characters.
I have no clue how cliché Mrs. Keyes could be, the egg-sitting assignment has been done in every other high school based TV show. I am not complaining though because this allows Holly and I to spend more time together.
"Why did you knit a pouch for the egg again? I mean it's just a school project after all." Greg said as he and Holly were talking at her locker.
"The point of the project was to get us to act like parents right? Well, by making this pouch it creates a bond between me and the egg." Holly said as Greg looked in bewilderment. "Well that's what my mum said it will do anyway." Holly said and the two just laughed at that.
"Guys, look at this mini-cradle that my mum bought for the egg." Rowley said and Greg just rolled his eyes.
"Jefferson, it's just a damn egg. You don't have to take it to that level of care. Sometimes I wonder who the girl between you and me is." Angie said as she rubbed her temples in frustration.
"Rowley just tone down the maternal instincts okay?" Greg said as Holly giggled at his statement. "Whoa Chirag, what's happening on your end?" Greg asked Chirag as he walked up to the gang looking stressed.
"Hello Gregory, Patty is just explaining on how I should take my responsibility as a parent more seriously. She's taking this project way too seriously." Chirag told the gang as he leaned onto Holly's locker.
So for the duration of the project, Holly and Greg grew closer while enjoying the time that they spend together. Angie and Rowley on the other hand were butting heads over how seriously Rowley was taking this project.
When it came to the conclusion of the project, the girls in the class all ended up in tears when Mrs. Keyes just collected their eggs and threw them in the thrash can after telling everyone that they passed the assignment.
"I don't get why you are getting so emotional. We all knew that it was just a project and it had to be returned in one piece." Greg said as he comforted Holly.
"I just grew a soft spot for that little egg. I guess the project did its job at showing us what it means when we become parents." Holly said as she tried to regain her composure.
"Come on Jefferson, get over it. The egg had to go anyway." Angie said as she saw Rowley weeping over the egg cradle.
"It's just that I expected Mrs. Keyes to take care of the eggs after we did so well with them." Rowley said in between sniffles.
October
As fall approached, things were also starting to change at school and at home.
Rodrick was too busy between his band and thinking of ways to make Heather Hills to fall for him to annoy me so that's most of my problems at home gone already since I just avoid Manny to stay out of the poop-storm he brings wherever he goes.
Since Holly and I started hanging out, she also began to help me with school despite my protests. But I got to admit it felt pretty good to get an A in history and the kiss on the cheek from Holly was a nice bonus.
I learnt more about Holly's family through the numerous times I've been over to her house. Her siblings are a mirror- image of mine. Her older sister, Heather is just as much of a bitch is Rodrick is a jerk and her younger sister Hillary is just as spoilt as Manny is.
Oh, I forgot to mention about Chirag. After the horrible experience of teaming up with Patty, he has now gone and set up a illicit business of supplying fake hall passes, fake doctor notes and the works. The teachers have been cracking down on him but Chirag always seems to be a few steps ahead.
The school's also going to host the haunted house this year. You see, every year 1 school is chosen to host the haunted house and the other schools all have a combined Halloween party there. This year is our turn and I was hoping to as Holly to go with me while I guess Rowley and Angie would be going together. This may just be the best Halloween yet.
Sorry for the short chapter again, still trying to find my feet. I'm hoping to post a new chapter every week as school's starting and I'm not that free anymore. So, until next time read on.
