Hey guys. I have nothing to say right now so… yeah… I'm fail algebra (Well if you consider a C failing…) But for some reason, I don't like English as much as my other subjects, but I'm passing with "flying colors"… My life is weird...
Oh, BTW I know I'm not really using Alvin and Theo as much I some of you might want, so I'm gonna put them in the story. :D and thank you to WordWizard1 for the review.
"Simon, GET DOWN HERE! YOU'RE ON THE NEWS!" Alvin yelled from the living room. I came running out of the kitchen to see what he was talking about. The rest of the family gathered around the TV.
"Yesterday, a young boy came to the local candy shop on Vermont Ave. and destroyed the display of candy. We asked the owner, Tom Hankins what happened." The news guy said.
Crap, just when I though things were going to start going my way, THIS happens. Of course Mr. Hankins want to just broadcast my little accident to the whole city. Why can't I have a good day this week?
"Yes, the boy was about 4"6 and he had these huge blue glasses. If I didn't know any better, he looked like on of the Chipmunks."
The whole family looked at me. My face was turning a bright red from embarrassment. Why, WHY! My life stinks! At least this isn't the first time I've been publicly humiliated. Back in third grade, when I was the lead in the play "Pilgrams, Adventures in a New Land" I ended up falling on a ladder and onto a guy. But, in my defense, that anchor lady should not have put the microphone in my face without giving me warning. Then there was the time when Alvin made me and Theodore dress up as flowers to ask Heather to come to our school. Let me just say, I am not a good ice skater.
"What happened?" The Anchor asked.
"Well, that kid was sitting down in the corner and then he gets up and knocks all the shelves down. All I can say is that he's lucky it was Christmas, or I would have had him clean up the mess."
"Well thank you Mr. Hankins. Back to you Jill."
"Why?" Alvin asked me.
"It was an accident. And besides, these boys bumped into me and I fell." I said defensive.
"Simon go to your room right now." Dave said sternly.
Gee, I just can't win today! I mean out of everything that has happened today, only one good thing has happened to me, and that was the present I got from my grandmother. Here's a list of things that have gone wrong ever since my brothers and I got to Montpelier.
Number 1- I didn't get a Christmas present for the count down
Number 2- Maxwell is being an even bigger jerk then ever
Number 3- I got lost
Number 4- I knocked over the shelves of a candy store
Number 5- I got my mouth washed with soap!
Number 6- I was on the news for "destroying" a candy store
Sometimes I wonder if I've ever had any good luck. Alvin and Theodore always have good luck. Me, not so much.
Flashback
I was back in third grade and I had made the honor roll for the second time. I was going to show Dave. I walked into my room to see Dave and my brothers standing there.
"Dave guess what?" I asked proudly. Then Theodore interrupted.
"How do you like it, I made it in school?" Theodore said holding up his brown clay sculpture proudly.
Dave bent down to Theodore's level. "I-it's wonderful Theodore, did your teacher tell everyone to make um… ah…"
"Clay food, no she told us to make something we dreamed about." Theodore explained.
"Dave, look." I said jumping. I was about to tell him about me making the honor's roll until the phone rang.
"Oh, excuse me boys, that's probably about my new song." Dave said pointing towards that door.
"But Dave, I made the honor roll." I said with a frown.
"What, again, that's nice Simon."
Then, there was the time when Alvin and I were science partners. I had to do all the work. All Alvin did was sit there while I tried to study a jellyfish. It squirted me in the face.
Don't even get me started on how many times I've had to dress in drag.
When my brothers and I went to Japan
The time Alvin tried to get my brothers and I out of the Thanksgiving play
Alvin talked me and Theo into being Girl Scouts
When Alvin made me dress up as Heather the famous ice skater
I had to be Theodore's "Date" so my brothers and I could help Dave get his memory back
When I was playing Sherlock Holmes for one of our movies, I dressed up as a bar maid… very awkward…
You know, now that I think about it, I sometimes have a pretty suckish life. Why do these things always happen to me? I have to be the clumsy, dorkie, smarter one of the group. MY LIFE STINKS! What is wrong with me? I mean, my brothers have the best life ever. Okay, I admit I do have a pretty cool life, but not as good Alvin and Theo. Just to prove it, I've decided to make a list of things. (Boy, I'm making a lot of lists lately…)
Good things that have happened to Alvin
He's the lead singer of our band for crying out loud!
Alvin's the quarterback of our school football team
MVP of soccer, football, gymnastics, basketball, and baseball
Most popular boy in school
Has had 30,000 girlfriends already
Won heartthrob of the year for who knows how many years
He's better looking than me
I really can't make people laugh, unlike ALVIN! AGGG!
Good things that have happened to Theodore
He was voted most popular in Kindergarten
Theodore even does better at getting girls then I do
A girl has never chased him and tried to put him in a hospital…
Because he's the youngest, Theodore can sweet talk almost anyone
Theo got to be the prince of plenty while Alvin and I got to be his slaves
Theodore has never been publicly humiliated on TV
Even Theodore's won heartthrob of the year
He's actually found a trick to open his locker, WHILE MINE STILL GETS STUCK!
Okay, that didn't make me feel any better. I mean come on, I've never gotten to be heartthrob of the year, I've never gotten to be a prince, I'm not popular what so ever, I don't have a girlfriend, I'm not great at sports… my life is well…
Bad things that have happened to me over the years
Well for starters, I've been on the news TWICE for embarrassing myself
I've fallen in a fountain
I've gotten hit in the head with a piñata
I was voted student most likely to fall down
I don't have a girlfriend
I've been in DRAG for SIX times
I got stuck in a tuba when our house almost flooded
I've gotten smashed between hot air balloons
I've been taken for granted
I have ALMOST have been killed by a girl
You know, I now understand why my life sucks. Let's try and think about the positives in my life.
Good things that have happened to me over the years
…
I got nothing. Just then I heard a knock on my door.
"Simon, it's me Dave. I need to talk to you about the candy store incident."
Of course!
I finished this chapter. I'm happy. I know I've been making a lot of lists, but their fun to make. Oh, and BTW everything on the lists except on is true. That would be the one when Simon was publicly humiliated twice on TV. I'm not sure the time Simon dressed up as Heather was on TV. Anyway, R&R.
