Saturday

Om gave in, thankfully! Remember on Wednesday what happened with the hot dog on a stick, well Mom said that it was an honest mistake and I have been punished enough! Well am a

Happy Chappy or what! Oh and I don't want to be grounded cause Holly Hills is having a birthday party and I AM INVITED!And yes I am invited and guess what even better, Rowley isn't. I don't know why but me and few other guys also got invited and they were pretty popular and also,(of course said by girls) good looking, so I'm wondering if I'm about to get my big break!

They must have thought it all along and just not said anything until now ate her birthday and lately all the boys have been talking to me and all the girls too, so maybe I am about to get POPULAR! Unfortunately Rowley is sticking by me like glue just to be sure I won't fling him off, but to be honest if I do get popular I guess I will have to. I mean he has been cramping my style for years now but I still took him under my wing and did soooo many things for him. So I guess it's his turn to repay me and just leave me alone.

The thing is that I can't exactly say it to him because that what just be mean so I thought that maybe I should write a letter and put it in his locker! This is what I have done and I am posting it tomorrow:

Dear Rowley,

Hi. I need to talk. There is something I need to ask for you to do for me. I want you to go away. I am very sorry. But I am getting popular. I need to you to leave me alone.

Kind Regards

Shades

I think it is pretty good, straight to the point and very well punctuated; I am sure my English teacher would be proud! Oh and if you are wondering what the name 'Shades' come from it is just that as I am popular now I thought that I might want to have a cool new nick name for people to cool me. Like this boy at school called Stewie Pead has the nickname of 'Who Pead, Stewie Pead' which is suppose is kind of mean but its kind funny as well. Or maybe Lewis Thimble is called 'Lewis Cymbal' or 'Cymbal' because he has a lisp so when he says thimble it sounds like Cymbal which is also kind of funny to!

Wednesday

Nearly Holly's Birthday just two more days, oh and the nickname if you were wondering was a breeze and now I am nicknamed Shades. They didn't take it at first but when I said that I was going to Holly's party they took the hint! And you know the joke we played on Chirag last year, well us guys are thinking that maybe we should play another prank!

But that will have to wait because I need to buy Holly a present or Mom could get one but I really don't trust her. Mom said that she has a cupboard in the basement that may have some stuff in but the only things that it contained were Grandma's old knitting kit and a 'How to potty train you child' book, which I am sure she wouldn't be too keen on. I do have an idea though as I did this raffle once and one a makeup set, which I soo stupid, and threw it under my bed and I forgot about it so maybe if I'm lucky that will do.

And if you were wondering about the note, Rowley got it all right but surprisingly didn't care. Although whenever he sees me he just bites his lip and does this weird smile that probably isn't even a smile. And I kind of feel sorry for him as he just walks around school on his own and is a bit of a loner while I leave the dream and have now become 10th most popular with Rowley like 100th somewhere! I am sure he will be fine though as he seems to be talking to this kid in 8th grade a lot, but the guy locks really dodgy and I always seem him after school in the alley smoking , so Rowley's WATCH OUT!

Saturday

What a party!My luck has changed and I am finally becoming the person I was always meant to be. First I arrived and was the first one there which was kind of awkward but oh well. I and Holly talked for a bit along with the other girls before the other guys came along. We then all sat down and she opened all of her presents and GUESS WHAT, she like mine the most, (as I can tell). Then we played spin the bottle and it landed on me on this girl called Sasha Primrose's turn so she gave me a kiss on the cheek. Then we ate I tried to be polite as I could especially when her sister heather walked past, unfortunately she seemed to recognise me from the swimming pool last summer.

Then this is the best part! We had a dance played some games but then Sasha when off with Holly to the corner of the garden and they started to whisper and look of me, talk about being self conscious. Then all the rest of the girls including Zara-lily, Mia and Ashley with two others also joined them so we guys decided to huddle as a group on the other side of the garden. After a while and a lot of giggling, (from the girls of course), Holly came over and said that she needed to talk with me privately (best bit coming up). She said that Sasha really liked me and IF I WANTED TO GO OUT WITH HER! Of course I was dumbfounded but managed to catch my breath and say yes!

Soon after that my mum came to pick me up FIRST as she is that sort of person but before I went she gave me her phone number along with all the other girls there too and the boys wrote there's down just after! I swear I will have sleepless nights this week, but I hope it lasts!
