Dear Diary,
Today I met 'Reindeer Boy,' or, as he likes to be known 'Zach-attack' (much eye rolling here). At first, I didn't really notice him; I was just sitting on the bus minding my own business. By which I mean catching up on all the gossip. Or I would be, if I actually cared. I never even noticed him until Will Stronghold, son of Steve and Josie Stronghold a.k.a Jetstream and Commander, got on the bus. He walked straight down the aisle, with Layla walking behind him, and sat down next to him. In reply to Will's "Hey, how was your summer?" was "It was tough, man. T-U-P-H." That's when I turned around and saw him. The whole… brightness to him. I suppose that's because his power is glowing (hence the name 'Reindeer Boy'). Although glowing is just about the world's second worst power. The first, of course is being able to shape shift into a purple guinea pig. Anyway. I was just sitting there, thinking 'Either this guy is a complete idiot, or he has a really bad sense of humour.' So I decided that the best way to not find out which one it was, was to avoid him. But, that is not going to happen. Why? For several reasons:
Reason # 1: As I mentioned before, the second worst power in the world is to glow. The world's absolute worst is to shape shift into a guinea pig. A purple guinea pig. Coach Boomer, or 'Sonic Boomer,' as he used to be known as, is not a complete idiot. He does have enough sense to work this out, so guess what? We're both stuck in the 'Sidekick' category.
Reason # 2: Zach is Will's friend. I am Layla's friend. Layla and Will are best friends. Guess who I'm sitting with at lunchtime now?
Reason # 3: Our lockers are next to each other, so between classes I have to listen to his constant chatter.
Reason # 4: Layla's already planned a study group for all of our friends. Now I get to see him after school hours, too. What fun!
Reason # 5: This should've been the first reason, but, meh. We catch the same bus.
Reason # 6: It's a bit hard to avoid a guywho's got a crush on me. I think he's memorised my timetable. Oh, wait, scratch that. We have the same timetable. Huh.
Reason # 7: It's a bit hard to avoid a guy who I've got a crush on. Just ignore that, I can't believe I just wrote that down.
You know, by ignoring him, I'm actually doing him a favour. See, who really does want to go out with a girl who shapeshifts into a purple guinea pig? Hang on, somebody's at the door, I'll just go get it.
In answer to that above question, there is somebody who wants to go out with a girl who shapeshifts into a purple guinea pig. Who is that person? Zach, of course. He just asked me to the Homecoming dance. It's awhile away, but it's better early than never, right?
