NIKKI POV
May 10th, 2016, Sunday
My younger sister Brianna is being SO ANNOYING today!
All I want to do is try to study for my finals and Brianna is fleeing around the room with a Princess Sugar Plum doll, shouted the words "I'M GONNA BE IN 3RD GRADE! I'M GONNA BE IN 3RD GRADE!" over and over again.
It was really
really
GRATING!
That's when I couldn't take it anymore and I yelled at Brianna:
If you don't shut up, I'm going to smack you all the way to 1st grade!
Except I only said that inside my head, so no one heard that but me.
"Hey Brianna, why don't you go study for your tests?" My mom asked.
I sighed.
"Nooo!" She whined, stomping the floor. "I already studied!"
"Well why don't you sit down nicely and watch Princess Sugar Plum TV show?"
"Ohhh!" Her eyes lit up. "Ok!" She sat down.
I groaned.
Princess Sugar Plum TV show is a new animated show that personally, I think Brianna is WAY too old to be watching. It is the most boring, obnoxious show ever, close up there with Dora The Explorer! And what sucks is that she is HOOKED with it. The only positive thing the show brings is that Brianna finally shuts up to listen to it.
I decided to take my work to my room so that I can listen to myself think. I didn't stay in there long until I heard the doorbell ring.
That must be Chloe and Zoey!
I rushed down stairs superexcited. I opened the door and there they were!
"OMG girl! Are you excited to go to the mall?!" Chloe giggled, giving out jazzhands.
"Hecks yeah!" I laughed, giving her jazzhands back.
Since the mall was pretty close by, we decided just to walk there. Once we made it, Chloe and Zoey decided to get snacks while I went shopping for clothes. Surprisingly there were a lot of people going shopping, probably trying to find a bathing suit. Thankfully, I didn't pass by MacKenzie or any of her lame friends.
I saw a really cute bikini I KNEW Zoey would love! I turned around, rushing, not looking where I was going and...
BUMP!
I
bumped
right
into
Greg
Heffley.
At first I had no idea who it was.
"OMG! I'm so sorry, I was just..." my eyes locked with his. I stopped talking for a split second.
"Oh, it's ok." He got up and held out his hand for me.
I just stared at it.
"Um, you ok?"He tilted his head. "You look like a deer, frozen in headlights."
"OMG! I'm sorry." I took hold of his hand. It felt like a burst of energy just flowed through my body. As I stood up, I felt like falling back down again, fainting almost. "Um... thanks." I forced a smile, trying not to vomit, or DIE from Greg's cuteness.
"Hey, you're the girl in my school... Nikki right?"
"Yeah."
He laughed. "Funny how I see you here." He noticed something behind me and he immediately stopped smiling. "Oh, I got to go. Bye"
I opened my mouth to respond, but all what came out was a little mutter. I was going through another RCS. WHEEE! I felt like screeching. I turned around and guess who was stalking me this entire time?
Chloe and Zoey?!
"You just ran into Greg! Lucky girl!"
We were on way out of the mall with our new swim suits. Zoey LOVED the bikini I chose for her. It was a light blue suit with white pokadots. Chloe chose a full piece blackish purple suit. I chose a bikini with a black bottom and a dark blue top.
I started blushing like crazy. "Yeah yeah, I know..." I really wanted to change the conversation, every time we talked about Greg, it made me think about Brandon. It drives me insane!
"So so lucky!" Chloe repeated.
We finally made it to my house. "It's late guys. Thanks so much for inviting me though!"
They smiled. "Don't worry, any time. And thank you for the bathing suit!" Zoey replied. "Bye."
"Bye."
I entered my room, falling on my bed SUPERtired. But for some reason, I couldn't sleep. These thoughts and feelings stormed over me like a hurricane, flowing rocks of regret, streams of dusty lovey-dovey feelings, things I couldn't ignore nor could I understand. It was like I was eating some sort of burrito filled with sand and piles and piles of emptiness.
I didn't know WHO I actually loved. Brandon... or Greg?
I just felt weird if anything. Not the normal type of weird, like when you're hanging out with your friends and saying stupid stuff, no.
The type of weird that just floods you and makes you sad.
I don't think I can sleep tonight.
:(
