Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Getting Freaky on a Friday Night
Chapter 5
I couldn't believe it. I had just lost my first rap battle. "How could this be? I just learned how to rap and I just... lose?" I said in disbelief.
Both Boyfriend and Girlfriend stared at me. "Hey, it's okay Greg." said Girlfriend in a comforting voice. "Beep bop beep" said Boyfriend in a comforting voice as well.
"Don't feel bad. Lots of people have trouble winning a rap battle since it's their first time doing it." said Girlfriend. "But I'm certain that with enough practice, you'll be able to achieve a victory. Isn't that right babe?" said Girlfriend as she turned to Boyfriend. "Beep!" answered Boyfriend, which I assume it was a yes.
Not gonna lie, that was the most cheesiest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
But, that did make me feel a little bit better.
"By the way, in your song, you said something about wanting to become rich and famous. Why is that?" questioned Girlfriend.
I paused for a bit.
I probably shouldn't have mentioned my desire to become rich and famous to the two of them.
I didn't want to give them an answer. But their continuous stares are making this real hard for me. And so...
I told them.
I told Boyfriend and Girlfriend about how one day I would become rich and famous like one of the most well known celebrities that you see on movies or on TV.
I wanted to make a name for myself. And that once I become famous, I will get the respect that I so rightfully deserve.
That... has always been my dream.
But, as you all know, I'm just a simple kid who is stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons that don't respect me.
My life sucks. A lot.
"Wow Greg. I... never knew you felt so strongly about this." responded Girlfriend, after I finished telling her and Boyfriend about my strong desire to become a famous superstar. "Beep bop" answered Boyfriend who agreed with Girlfriend.
"Yeah. That has always been my lifelong dream." I answered. "I have actually tried to make a name for myself, countless times. But it always ends up backfiring on me. Every. Single. Time."
I remembered all of the stuff that I did over the last few years and how I always failed miserably.
It really hurts to look back on all of the things that I have tried to accomplish in my life. Yet, I still haven't accomplished anything.
My life is nothing but failure after failure and so on and so forth.
But it's not just the people in Plainview, the same goes for my family as well.
I told the couple about my parents and my two brothers. I told them how my mom is always taking these "bonding experiences" very seriously, I also told them how much of a dead beat my dad is, I also told them about how Rodrick always picks on me, and I finally told them about how much my little brother, Manny, is a pain in the neck.
Both Girlfriend and Boyfriend gave me sympathetic looks.
The two of them comforted me.
"I'm sorry Greg." said Girlfriend. "Beep boop" answered Boyfriend.
"That's okay." I answered.
The three of us stayed on the sidewalk for an hour.
