Okay everyone. Here is the first chapter or in diaries, the first entry.
Disclaimer: I don't own SWAC or Dork Dairies. Remember, all of this is in Sonny's diary.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 31
I sometimes wonder why my mom is BRAIN DEAD or not so modern. At times, that happens like every day. She doesn't know what is modern and what is not.
Like today.
She said that the phone I have is modern, which is so not. It's the phone used like in the 1990's. WAY old fashioned. And I just got it 2 days ago when I asked my mom for a phone. I was hoping my mom would give me an iPhone. But NOOOOOOO. She thinks there are none in stores. Is she really that blind? I considered it a necessity of life, second only to oxygen.
What better way to clinch a spot in the CCP (Cute,Cool & Popular) group at my new private school, Westchester Country Day, than by dazzling them with a wicked new mobile phone. We would be like talking on the phone for hours, talk about cute guys and something like that. How I wish my mother knew where to find an iPhone.
Last year, it seemed like I was the ONLY student in my ENTIRE middle school who didn't have one and I was even in the LAST year of middle school:( . So I bought an older, used phone super-cheap on eBay with my savings.
It was bigger than what I wanted, but I figured I couldn't go wrong for the clearance price of only $12.99.
I put my phone in my locker and spread the word. I didn't want to bring my phone because the design is Dora. Yeah, because there are no Sonny With A Chance, Stemi, Sterling Knight, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez and cool designs. (Yeah, I felt like adding all those there) It would be humiliating if they saw the design.
I got really nervous when two of the CCP girls came walking down the hall in my direction, chatting on their mobile phones. Although I was nervous, I tried to keep my composure and act cool.
They came right over to my locker and started acting super-friendly. They also used the 'Cool' tone of voice. Then, one of them was like in a cool tone "Hey, Sonny. So, since you have a cool phone, why don't you join us for lunch?" So, I decided to fit in with them, I used the same tone,"Sure. Can't wait." but deep down I was doing my Snoopy 'Happy Dance'. My Snoopy 'Happy Dance' is a dance I do when I'm happy or in a good mood.
Then things got really strange. They said they had heard about my new $600 Juicy Couture designer mobile phone and that everyone (meaning the rest of the CCP crew) couldn't wait to see it.
I was about to explain that I had said, "juicy gossip on my new phone" NOT,"new gossip on my Juicy phone", but I never got a chance because, unfortunately, my phone started ringing. Very abnormally loud. Good thing my ring tone is 'Something About The Sunshine' by Sterling Knight and Anna Margaret (I LOVE THAT SONG. ONE OF MY FAVE SONGS) I downloaded the song from the internet. I have others but I chose this. I tried to ignore it and listen to the song but one of them said, "As much as I love this song, aren't you going to answer it?"
Obviously, I didn't want to answer it because I had a really bad feeling that when I open my locker and answer my, they would laugh at me.
So I just stood there praying it would stop but it didn't and soon, everyone in the hall looked at me with the looks of what one of the CCP girls said.
Finally, I gave in and tried to hide my phone from the people around me. I was like, "Hello? Umm . . . sorry. Wrong number." I hung up and turned around to see the two girls laughing.
"You have a nice ring tone but not phone and design." one of them said.
"Oh, my gosh. Latest scoop. Sonny Munroe likes Dora the Explorer. I take back of staying in lunch with us. We're telling them that you don't have a cool phone and a lame design. Only the ring tone is cool." the other said. They walked away still laughing at me and my phone.
The most important lesson I learned last year was that having a CRUDDY phone - or NONE at all - can totally RUIN your social life. While hordes of celebrity party girls regularly FORGET to wear undies, not a single one would be caught dead without her mobile phone. Which was why I was nagging my mom about buying me an iPhone.
I've tried saving up my own money to buy one, but it was impossible to do. Mainly because I'm an artist and TOTALLY ADDICTED to drawing and the other artist, which is acting!
I spend ALL of my cash on sketchbooks, pencils, pens, acting school and acting camp. Hey, I'm so BROKE, I have a milkshake on layaway at McDonald's!
Anyway, when mom came home from the mall with a special back-to-school present for me I was pretty sure I knew what it is.
I had some ideas of how my new iPhone would look like, how I should decorate it, what would be my ring tone. I zoned out just thinking about it.
My mom saw my smile and she, too, smiled really wide, gave me a hug and showed me a BOOK. Not what I was hoping for.
I opened it and saw there are no pages.
Why would she give me a book with no pages unless...
She can't...
She wouldn't ...
She didn't...
She didn't dare ...
But she DID do all those. My mom gave me a...
a...
a...
a...
a...
a DIARY.
That's it. My life is ruined, all because she gave me a DIARY. Well, I hope I wouldn't be caught having a diary.
There are two words that fit me through the year with a diary.
DOOMED & UNPOPULAR
Well, That's it. The first entry. I know only a few people entered more or less FOUR people. There are some I got out from the book, some deleted, some added. Well, review.
Peace Out Suckahs!
