Dear diary,
Remember I told you I hate Fridays, since that mother of mine got her idiotic idea? I take it back. No, I didn't 'take advantage of using the library resources to do my homework,' but I did get The Money. Don't you love that word? M-O-N-E-Y. I do. I wonder how long it'll take them to find it's missing. It is the weekend...on the other hand, they seem to put in more hours on a Saturday than during the week.
Did anyone notice? Of course not! What kind of question is that? They were too busy talking, working and joining clubs to see anything. As a result of their negligence, I got away with...hang on, I haven't actually counted it all yet...$469! Add to that the money from the Greece fundraising - that reminds me, I have to ask mom if I can go - and I'll have...a lot. Sorry, let me try that again; a LOT. If that doesn't change their opinion of me, nothing will.
So, that's the good news. You want more? You'll like this, I guarantee. Frank and Joe? Major problems. Meaning little or no investigation. Apparently Joe's seriously considering leaving and trying to get a job! (according to the guidance counsellor's records)It's like a mini soap opera; 'within the walls of the American Academy.'
Hey, that's not a bad idea. Directing's a pretty good paying job. Not to mention the fame and popularity. Come on, at least think about it, it's got all the qualities of other soap operas - welll actually, basically anything on television - a bad guy, good guys, conflict, family disputes, reputations, idiots, you name it, we got it.
Anyway, back to the Blond and the Ugly. Joe would probably get a job pretty easy, especially in the police force. His father is a famous detective, after all. So now we've got a debate; will Frank follow and, if not, how long will young Joseph last? Sometimes I think he may have an idea there; leave school and get a headstart on the wonderful world of money making. The rest of the time, he's just giving up a sure thing.
Love,
George
I'll explain 'Greece' in more detail in the next chapter; basically, it's just a school trip.
read and review!
