FYI: That was sarcasm [CS Pet Diary]

[mantlepiece]

Hey, Whatever. Still here?

Something is seriously wrong. So as you know, John has kinda been an acquaintance or otherwise nonexistent since i've known him. (Do you even remember him?)

(Of course you don't.)
And he's in my science class- Oh yeah- New science teacher:

Miss Haley. She seems okay- not as good as the last one but she could be worse.
Anyway, today she got us to do an assignment in pairs which happens every so often in this class, but what has never happened before is that John came over to me and asked if i would be his partner! I agreed since i didn't want to go with another random dog again (yeah, no friends in this class- but no enemies either).
I don't know why i think it's a big deal- it's just a jock that likes... me. e_o That sounds really arrogant and… yeah... sorry. ITS NO BIG DEAL OKAY!!!
After that (at lunch break) i got my food and was looking for a place to sit when he invited me to sit next to him with a bunch of other popular dogs… WELL WHAT DID YOU THINK I WAS GOING TO DO??!! Of course i sat with him- there was no way i was going to sit with Rocky, Tania or Silt after what happened yesterday! I was surprised when they everyone at the table actually seemed to be okay with me and it turns out they all don't like Princess or her boy-friend much so they hang out in their own group (even though they are still rich, popular dogs).

And i finally got to talk to Samuel again during break about his weird shadow thingy.
Me: So, i have some questions.
Sam (I can't be bothered saying or writing Samuel or freak all the time): Fire away.
Me: So you were in that… science place and they experimented on you but what happened after that? You escaped?
Sam: Well, they trained me to do all sorts of things for… i don't really know how long, but i figured out a weak spot in their security system and i turned into a shadow and escaped. A family adopted me and here i am now.
Me: Okay, 'cause it's totally normal to be an escaped science experiment and all that.
Sam:
Me:
(I know i'm soppy and cheesy.)
Me: Also, i was wondering why you kept running out of class- and school- randomly.
Sam: .____. right. I've been having trouble controlling my ability to shift into a shadow.
Me: O-O
Sam: I think i have it under control now…
Me: Oh good…
Sam: So… i'll see you around?
Me: Sure thing!

And that is all i really need to report. Unless you want to know i've gone to the bathroom five times today? Didn't think so.

If any of you are wondering what the title, FYI: That was sarcasm, is about- it is something Alex says in the climax diary entry of this story… (i think).

[mantlepiece]

Why hello. Fancy meeting you again. -_______-
What is even the point of these? (Apart from forcing innocent students to share their secrets on pieces of paper so evils can find them and ruin their life!)
Wait a moment! Eureka!!! I know what i can do now! Maybe i can find out why everything has twisted around!
Oh, and last night, John just showed up on my doorstep without asking! (Sorry, that was a major subject shift, lol)
You can imagine what my dad was like when he opened the door and saw a guy standing there!

Dad: Alex!
Me: Coming!
I see John standing at the door and i'm like: O-O
Me: What on earth are you doing here?
(I'm running out of pen color options.)
John: I'm here for the science project we're working on for school, remember?
Me: You could've at least asked if it was alright to come over first!
John: Sorry. Should i leave?
Me: Eh, we might as well do it now that your here. That okay dad?
Dad: Hmm… sure. You can work on the project in the living room.

I felt like half of the two hours we were supposed to be talking about school work we were chatting randomly.
My dad doesn't like him all too much.
Maybe i can find out what is going on in his mind if i find his diary! Everyone in school has one because everyone goes to english class! Why didn't i think of this before?
Maybe i can find my friends diaries too because Tania is avoiding me, Silt acts awkward whenever i'm in the same room and Rocky is spying on me and reporting back to the others! So i feel bad that i got angry at them the other day but seriously? Spy on me like i'm a criminal?! So at lunch today i sat with John and his company.
John has the most obnoxious friend, Arden (or Den as everyone calls him.)

I get a headache whenever I look at him for more than a minute.

Den: Hey Alex, John’s told me a lot about you.
Me: O______O
John: Don’t listen to him.
Den: *smirks and nudges John*

I don’t have enough time to write the whole thing but we joined the conversation of the table as we ate- Den kept acting weird and goofy and John seemed to be feeling really awkward.
Oh, and the rumors have magically died down now so i'm feelin' good about that!
And I got my paws on an invitation- I know where Princess lives! The sleep over is tonight so I’ll tell you what happens.
Time for me to go.

~Alex

[mantlepiece]

OH MAN!!! I am dead pounded meat!!! This is worse than when I barfed on my aunt!!!
Yeah I got trashed, Whatever.
Everything went according to plan…
My dad called earlier this evening, while I was making sure I had everything (for the prank) and said he would probably be back really late (like after 11), ‘cause he had errands to run (no idea what). So I was happy because I could go out before it got too dark and do this thing at Princess’ house.
So as soon as it got dark (about 9) I packed my gear and dressed in comfy dark clothes:

What? This is my most comfortable outfit!
Then I walked over to Princess’ house (I know I know- no car??? What’s with that?! It’s just my life, K), which was about 30 minutes of walk away.
She has an average house for a popular girl.
Everyone was in her bedroom- on the second floor. One thing I managed to overlook but luckily there was a tree next to the house that reached her window so I climbed that with some difficulty.
The only dogs I recognized were Princess and Gwen. I presume the rest were evils.
So I crawled out on a branch and unlocked the window using some of my dad’s tools and opened it slightly.
They weren’t talking about anything of interest so I pulled out my smoke screen bomb and fart bomb.
Yes! I made them, thanks to my favorite science teacher.
I threw them in and viola! Everyone screamed and gagged as the room filled with smoke and the smell of rotten egg (it was really bad).
(No multicolored pens this time sorry.)
Random girl: WE’RE UNDER ATTACK!!!!
Another girl: MY STRAWBERRY!!!
Princess: ALRIGHT! WHO FARTED!?!?!?!
Gwen: SERIOUSLY!?!?!
Someone else: What happened!
I decided to shoot the gap and laugh later but I got down the tree a little too quickly and twisted my ankle at the bottom. -___- Of course I would.
So I limped home, thinking it hurt so bad I would need medical attention… from my imagination because I would have to somehow keep this a secret from my dad.
But then when I finally got home (15 minutes to 11) I found my dad in the living room (of course he had to get home early). What freaks me out about him is that when he’s angry he just stares at me with a blank face but you can tell he’s angry because you can see it in his eyes. Seriously, you have to see it to know what I mean.
Dad: Well where have you been?
Me: Umm… walking.
Dad: At this time of night?
Me: I hurt myself.
Dad: …
Me: o-o
Dad: Go to your room.

So here I am now… anticipating getting trashed tomorrow and feeling like a zombie that feels… pain.

[mantlepiece]

So, this morning my dad told me the school called last night and informed him what i did (at first it really creeped me out that the school somehow knew but apparently Princess's parents called the school and said they saw me run off after the 'incident'). So my dad grounded me REAL bad: no going out (except to school), no having anyone over, no tv, no laptop, no music and i have to do all the dishes for the next two weeks! So i was like: O0O and i stopped using 'so' at the start of every sentence. -.-
The only thing i do have is my phone.
Then he looked at my foot, told me to stay off it and gave me some crutches (which we somehow happened to have).
Then i had to spend all of today's lunch period in detention because i 'bullied' Princess! >:( Seriously?!?! Okay so maybe what i did was mean but she should get a beating for all the evil things she's done!!!
So Today i heard Princess had to buy new clothes before she came to school because all her other clothes still smelt like egg- and no arrogant pussy would dare step foot into public smelling like passed gas!
i managed to get a picture of her:

Yep.
On the bright side, as soon as i got off the bus this morning a big group of dogs that hate Princess cheered for me (actually i think it was more like 2/3 of the school). Then there was the million question game (ya know, everyone wanted to know every details- how they even knew about what I did last night is beyond me!), it got really annoying being asked the same question over and over again so i started shouting the details at the crowd- which was when john put me on his shoulders and i didn't blush because it was really awkward- and then i shushed everyone and told them everything that happened up to when i got home. The bell rang then so we all dispersed and John and some of his gang helped me inside (with my bad leg and all) and what else is there to tell.
And in detention i met this guy:

Name: Kane
Apparently he was spitballing a girl in english before turning on the teacher (because he gets bored easily he said).
He’s pretty fun. He’s the computer wiz of the school.

Time to go-
~Alex

[mantlepiece]

Okay, I’m kinda weirded out now.
I didn’t tell you this yesterday because I didn’t think it mattered and plus i didn't have time (thanks english teacher! -.-) Oh wait- i don't like writing diaries... it's too girly... so that thing in brackets wasn't sarcasm... no really, i'm not sarcastic... oh fiddle sticks. -_________- :

I was eating Lunch with John and his group, as usual when Samuel came over.
Sam: Hey, um, Alex?
Me: Oh hey! What is it?
Sam: *glances nervously at John* Can I talk to you for a moment?
Me: Sure. *gets up and says to John (who had an eybrow raised)* Chill.
John: I'm chilling.
Me: Well chill harder.
We walked out to the lockers.
Sam: Why are you hanging out with those guys?
Me: Is that what you wanted to talk about?
Sam: No. I was wondering if you noticed anything strange about the science teacher…
Me: Apart from being really buff for a science teacher- no. Why? Did she give you detention for sneezing in your test tube?
Sam: *glares at me* This isn't something to joke about, Alex! Something is very wrong with her.
Me: Well fine then! No need to get in a tizz at me!
Sam: Oh yeah, you're a great help. *walks off*
Me: Oh nice! Well you're not exactly being helpful either with your... vagueness! (Is that even a word?)
Sam: *turns to me while still walking away* Tomorrow! Keep your eye open!
And then he marched off and i wandered back to my table.

Well today, during science (which is my class before lunch), even though i tried to shake off what Sam said i couldn't help but notice he was right about Mrs. Haley.

Sure, she looks normal (apart from being scary strong and fit) but as we were working she stood over some dogs and stared at them and their work like she was trying to crack a code. And she was staring at me from her desk like i didn't do my homework and didn't tell her (which freaked me out for a moment because i had actually forgotten to hand it in) but as soon as she saw me watching she lowered her head and scribbled in her notebook. Also, she doesn't know lots about science at all. She relies on the textbooks to tell her everything and has no idea what to do or how to pronounce words half the time. What dog becomes a science teacher when they know about as much as science as... i dunno, me? I don't know how i didn't see these things.
Oh, and one more thing: when i went to hand in my homework, at the end of class, she acted pretty normal but instead of sciency stuff on her desk i saw a bunch of papers written in code- i don't think it was a hobby of hers 'cause she glared at me when she saw me looking at them.

I talked to Sam again, he said that he noticed the same things as me, but- get this!- someone told him they saw a gun in one of her drawers! Who knows if that's true but we've agreed to find out more about this teacher.

Everything else is pretty normal. Still grounded.

~Alex

(By the way, vagueness is a word apparently) XD

[mantlepiece]

Oh. MY. GOSH!!!!
You will not believe what has just happened today!!!

Qwen: ALRIGHT POPPIES!!! EVERY HEAD TURN THIS WAY! That's right. I have an announcement to make:
Your lovely, beautiful, famous*sarcasm* Princess is relinquishing her position of power- i mean her popular status, and is becoming a nobody!
Me: *jaw hits the ground*
Qwen: Now, as the official ruler- ahem- most popular dog in the school, i would like to have things more organized!
Me: *jaw drops into basement*
Qwen: Tomorrow at lunch i will be sorting you all into cliques, each clique will have rules and standards you must keep to. Until then i expect you all to respect the populars and not do anything evil. You may carry on with your meal.
Almost everyone: *claps and cheers*
Me: *falls off my seat and into the basement*
And i'm pretty sure Qwen gave me an evil look just as stepped off her pedistal (a table).

What's worse is that everyone at my table (who hated Princess), seem to love Qwen. DX
I noticed Silt, Rocky and Tania with thier eyes almost falling out of thier sockets too.
I am not looking forward to tomorrow.

I ditched the table of populars after they started gushing every fluffy thing about Qwen and sat by myself 'cause i'm a reject. (But really, i don't care if i'm alone.)

When i'd finished Sam came over and said we were going to find out what was up with that science teacher.
Me: Did you hear what Qwen said?!?! I can't believe that just happened!
Sam: Oh yeah, tragic, but we've got more important things to think about.
Me: What?!
Sam: *drags me off*

As we went i noticed Princess sticking her head in her locker... crying.... i don't think she willingly became an outcast. DUN DUN DUN!!!!! O-O

Well, back with the story: we went to the science room (but of course, the door was locked), so Sam ran off and came back with a key.
Me: Seriously, how do you do that? Can you hypnotize dogs as well?
Sam: Let's make this quick, Mrs. Haley could come back at any moment. *unlocks door*
Me: Sure, just avoid my question.
We went in and began searching her desk. Sam studied the coded papers while i checked the drawers.
Me: Nothing interesting here, just sciency, teacher stuff. Oh wait-
Sam: What?
Me: This draw is locked.
Sam: Let me see.
Me: *points to bottom left draw* That one.
Sam: Okay, i'll be back in a jiffy.
Me: What? Wh-
Suddenly he turned completely black and half transparent and he drained into the draw!
Me: Could he get any freakier?
Sam: *from inside the draw* Are you talking to yourself?
Me: *thinking* This is trippy!
A moment later he appeared again... WITH A GUN!!!
Me: Oh my gosh! What are you doing?!
Sam: *turns back to normal* Don't freak out!
Me: YOU HAVE A GUN!!! OF COURSE I'M FREAKING OUT!!!
Sam: I'm not going to shoot you! Gosh! Mrs. Haley had it!
Me: What?! Our teacher has a fire-arm in our school! *legasp* That's illegal!
Sam: *looks at a file in his other paw*
Me: What's that?
Sam: O_O I'm pretty sure that if he could pale, he would've.
Me: *grabs file*
Sam: Hey!
Me: Oh my gosh! Is this you??? Why are you white?
Sam: Mrs. Haley is looking for me, she must be part of the science institute that experimented on me.
Me: What! How? Why?
Sam: Let's get out of here first.
His paw turned into a shadow, along with the gun and file, and it all flowed through the crack in the locked draw. Then we made a bee-line for the door and he locked it behind us.
Me: Why were you white?
Sam: I dyed my fur black so i would be harder to identify, and it seems to have worked, otherwise Mrs. Haley would have recognized me and i would've disappeared by now.
Me: O_O Wow. That's pretty intense.
Random dog: *running down the hall* SOMEBODY STOLE MY MUFFIN!!!
Me: Okkaaay...
Sam: Yep, intense.

Long story short, the science institute must have somehow figured out that Sam was here and they sent Mrs. Haley to look for him and take him back to the lab. It seems she doesn't know its him yet so we are trying to figure out how to get rid of her before... well you know. Oh, and Sam can turn anything he touches into shadow as well (the bigger, the more tireing).

Life is strange.

[mantlepiece]

Ugh.
That's all i have to say. U-G-H. Ugh.
I suppose you'll want to know how the sorting and all went, even thought you're an inanimate object called Whatever with no desires or feelings or anything. -.-

Gwen: Now that you've all finished lunch, I am going to stand over by this window and you will form a single line in front of me so i can sort you into your social group. And if you don't line up your going to go straight to being a nobody and i will personally make your life miserable.
I've never seen a group of dogs move faster.
I didn't really care about the sorting (and i forsaw the future so i knew what i'd be classed as) but i didn't need to give her another reason to hate me so why not?
I went to the back of the line.
Gwen: Before we start there is a poster behind me of how popular every clique is with some additional information. It is there for you to refer back to. Please state your name and interests, then i will decide where you belong and give you a flyer with some rules and information. Everyone good with that? Good.
Go pretty boy.

Someone: Uh, okay. My name is Brock and i love singing 'n' playing my guitar.
*Random girl faints in the line*
Gwen: Here. *hands him a piece of paper* Congradulations, you're popular!
Brock: Okay, thanks!

BTW, i am not going to do write down everyone's sorting for obvious reasons.

Gwen: Next.

Kane: I'm Kane and i will hack your computer.
Gwen: Nerd. *hands flyer* Next.
Kane: Fine.


Tania: I'm Tania and-
Gwen: Do i know you?
Tania: ...we go to the same school...
Gwen: Right, and i suppose you like listening to music?
Tania: and dancing.
Gwen: Sure. You barely made it to average. *hands flyer*


Silt: I'm Silt, I like reading and english.
Gwen: Sorry? Oh, yeah, nerd. *hands flyer* Next.


Conner: The name's Conner. I like to be me.
Gwen: Outcast. *hands flyer* Bye


Zach: Hey-
Gwen: Did you dump Princess?
Zach: What? Oh, yeah.
Gwen: Great to have you as a fellow popular.


Huge: I'm Steve and i like to play video games and bash annoying brats to pulp.
Gwen: Terrifying. Outcast. *hands flyer*


Princess: My name is-
Gwen: Nobody. Next.
Princess: HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?!?
Gwen: Easily, you might've been pretty but everyone hated you. We need strong, perfect dogs in popular, not prissy, arrogant canines with no talent like yourself. Security!
Princess: NOOOOO!!! *dragged away by Zach*
Me: O-O


John: I'm John and i-
Gwen: Get in with the populars silly.
Me: *gag*


Arden: I'm Arden, but you can call me Den. I'm a surfer... i like flirting and the beach.
Gwen: *hands flyer* Popular.
Arden: Thanks georgeous.
Me: *gag*


Rocky: I'm Rocky and I love practical jokes and having fun.
Gwen: Ermm... Outcast.
Rocky: Party Pooper.
Gwen: Don't call me names!
Rocky: But you called me outcast!
Gwen: Security!
Rocky: I'm leavin', i'm leavin'! Sheesh. Somebody's up-tight.


Forgot name: I'm gem and I love looking after puppies and animals.
Gwen: Average.


Gwen: You don't look very hopeful.
Sam: I try.
Gwen: *suspicious look* Whatever, go on.
Sam: I'm Samuel and i like to watch movies and practice my ninjutsu.
Gwen: ...if you change your clothes you can go to jock. Average.
Sam: *Walks away*
Gwen: YOU FORGOT YOUR FLYER!


Me: ...
Gwen: ...
Me: ...........
Gwen: ...................
Me: ............................
Gwen: ......................................
Me: Are you going to say anything or just stand there like a weirdo and stare at me?
Gwen: Look whose talking!
Me: *scribbles on paper "you're talking" and shows*
Gwen: Ugh! Get out of here! You're a nobod-bffff!!!
Me: *runs off laughing*
(FYI, I shoved my leftover lunch in her maw- a.k.a.: meatloaf) (Oh, and I don't have my crutches anymore, got rid of them yesterday.)

And that's how that went.
Pretty sure i won. Mwahahahaha!

Everyone was still in the cafeteria doing something so i got to do something i've wanted for a while. I went to Silt's locker ('cause i noticed his locker door is broken- it can't be locked), and found his diary.
I only read (and copied) his last entry:

Dear Diary,
Life is as boring as a stone on a street, although there was an anomaly during math today. I'll come to that in a moment.
Qwen will be doing her "sorting" today. It'll be interesting to see how that goes.
Alex is still ditching us for that popular guy and the weird orphan. I don't know why she does it. I thought she hated populars because they were manipulative and hurtful, and yet she has the hots for one! Doesn't she know he's using her? Rocky, Tania and I are tring to think of something before that popular guy breaks her heart! She may not like us but she's still our friend!
I don't even know why i'm writing all this.
Let's move on to the anomaly in math class. I was trying to concerntrate on Mr. Harvey's dull voice but i gave up and glanced around the class room. I noticed Tania watching me. When she saw me looking she pretended to be staring at her text book and blushed! Maybe i'm getting ahead of myself here, but what if she likes me as well?! It's almost too good to be true.
That's my cue, time to go.
Silt

First of all, I can't believe i dumped my friends when they were just trying to watch out for me!
Second, OH MY GOSH! DO SILT AND TANIA LIKE EACH OTHER?!?!? OxO
Lastly, I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY THINK I HAVE THE HOTS FOR JOHN!!!! EW EW EW EW EW EW EW!

I decided not to read anymore because dogs were starting to file out of the cafeteria. From what i could pick up, every clique gathered together, went over the rules and appointed themselves leaders. Oh, and here's the social group poster in the café (most popuar at the top, least at the bottom):

Social group: Popular
Only the good looking, talented, perfect canines get here.

Social group: Jock
The fit, strong and sporting types get put here. Guys only. (Buy deodorant and have a shower.)

Social group: Average
Okay, friendly, normal canines get here. (You need to be a bit more exciting and cool.)

Social group: Nerd
The smart, technical, boring canines are nerds. (Be more normal.)

Social group: Outcasts
Goth, mean, mentally insane, mutated, held back canines are here. (See a doctor or therapist.)

Nobody
Loners and lost-causes are nobodies.

Anyone but nobodies can move up in social status if they're seen worthy.

Anyway, i'm going to talk to my friends some time soon, 'cause i suppose they're right. John is just a popular misfit who probably likes to wrap girls around his little toe. But don't worry, i never fell for him, hehe. ^w^
Who am i kidding. My life is as confusing as a pickle. -__-

~Alex

[mantlepiece]

I. Feel. So... LIGHT AND FLUFFY!!!! ◕u◕
Ahm... that was so not like me.
Life is busy right now, there are a lot of major changes happening all over that place, including being shocked at the strict grip Gwen has on the students, throwing my lightbulb at Rocky (metephorically speaking), and feeling so unbelievably happy for the weirdest reason.

Before i explain the action, between yesterday's lunch period and today's english period i found one of the flyers Gwen gave out to every dog yesterday (except me and princess). I read it and i was like... Let me just tape it in here:

Rules For Every Social Group
~ You must obey the members of the group above you.
~ Every group must appoint a leader so there is order and so they can report to Gwen every Friday.
~ You may not befriend/fall in love with any member of any other group (unless Gwen gives you permission to swap your clique to that of your friend's/love's clique).
~ Everyone must look down on the nobodies (unless you want to join them).

Gwen can go chew on a stick.

Here's what happened during lunch period, when the students run wild!, haha!

I ate lunch and then went to find Tania, Rocky and Silt. I couldn't find them. -_- Typical.
So randomly walked down the hall and talked to Sam for a bit- He thinks we should try scare her away but adults aren't scared that easily-
Sam: unlike you.
Me: Shut up, smarty pants. The only thing that might scare her is you going all shadowy but if we do that we might as well shout into a megaphone that you're a...
Sam: -_- ... a mutant? Thanks, Alex.
Me: No, you're not a-
Sam: *smirks*
Me: *shoves* Sensitive creep. *walks off*

And that's how that went.
Then i saw Rocky standing there. And i froze. And i was like "Liiiiight-burlb." I had an idea! (Plus i wanted to get back with them...)

Me: Hey Rocky, can i talk with you guys.
Rocky: *eyes me suspiciously* What for?
Me: Where are the others?
Rocky: Don't avoid my question.
Me: Don't avoid mine.
Rocky: I don't like you.
Me: Right back at ya.
Rocky: ....
Me: .........
Rocky: Follow. *walks off*

So i did. We went to a corner of the school that is abandoned by students and teachers. Then Rocky shoved a stocking on my head and pushed me into a room that stunk of old cleaner.

Me: Ow!
Tania: Oof!
Silt: Rocky!
Me: CREEPS! *pulls off stocking*
I was in a janitors closet.
Me: Nice place to hang out guys.
Suddenly i was blinded by a white light.
Me: MY EYES!!!
Rocky: We know you're hiding something! Why did you want to talk to us?
Me: Chill dude!
Tania: Rocky, quit it- why did you bring her here?
Rocky: She wanted to talk.
Tania: Well then let's hear her out! Don't be such a weirdo.
*flashlight switches off and turns on the room's light*
Me: That's better. *jokingly glares at Rocky*
Tania: So what did you want to say?
I couldn't gauge their emotions.
Me: Um... well...
This wasn't going to be easy.
Me: I just wanted to... say i'm sorry. For ditching you all-
Tania: About time! *tackle hugs me*
Me: Ah!
Rocky: Gosh! I thought you'd never come around.
I detached myself from Tania and noticed everyone was smiling. I guess that means they forgave me.
Me: Yeah, sorry about that. But for the record: i never liked John so it's not all my fault.
Rocky: You were hanging out with him all time! What else were we supposed to think?
Me: That he's a friend.
Silt: We were just trying to look out for you; populars don't care for anyone else but themselves.
Me: Uh, yeah, I know that.
Silt: So you won't hang out with him anymore?
Me: I don't even know why he would want to after all those rules Gwen has put up!
Tania: Oh my gosh! Can you believe it?!
And we talked a bit.
Apparently the three have been meeting secretly since they can't see each other (thanks to the new 'rules') and they're wondering if they should just ignore them.
That's when i brought up my :
Me: Hey, Rocky?
Rocky: Yes, Nobody.
Me: Shut up. I need a favor from you.
Rocky: Depends on what it is.
Me: A prank.
Rocky: *shuffles closer* Yes?
Me: I need your help doing a prank on Mrs. Haley, something so bad it will make her resign.
Silt: Um... what did she do to you?
Me: She pointed a gun at my face.
Everyone:
Me: Oh wait, she didn't actually do that. Nevermind. *turns to Rocky* will you do it.
Rocky: Hmm... i think it could be managed.... i'll need all your help though.
Me: Sure, i can do that.
Tania: Why do you want Mrs. Haley to resign?
Me: Does it matter?
Silt: Well... yea, if we prank her so badly that she resigns and we're caught we could be expelled.
Tania: Um... yeah.
(Did you see that?!?! Tania and silt are siding with each other! Oh my gosh they do like each other!!!!)
Me: Okay... fair enough...
Silt: ... so... why?
Me: ...i just think that Mrs. Haley is creepy and... evil... and she needs to go. Lame.
Rocky: Okay, what's going on, Alex?
Me: Stop smirking, Rocky!
Rocky: Touché
I didn't think Sam would like it if i told them (besides i doubt they'd believe me).
Me: You wouldn't believe me if i told you. Anyway, i'm going to do this even if you guys aren't on board so what's it gonna be?
Rocky: I'm totally in with this plan! Even if you are keeping secrets.
Tania: Ummmm... er... ahhhh... hmmm... mmmmm... ahm... errrr... ummm.... mmmm...
Me: Are you in or are you out?
Tania: I... um... might. as. well... make sure you two stay out of trouble.
We all look at Silt.
Silt: Nope. I'm not going to do it without a good reason. *stands up*
Me: Whatever. So what's the plan Rocky?
Rocky: Let me think about it more. I'll let you know later.
Me: Silt, you won't tell anyone about this will you?
Silt: ...
He's gonna tell everyone!
Silt: *sighs* Fine, i won't- but secrets tear apart friendships, Alex. *leaves*
Doesn't he just have a way with words.
So we left awkwardly and i decided to get my stuff ready in the last five minutes we had of lunch break. But as i was doing so...

John: Hey, Alex?
Me: What?
John: How are you?
Me: Aren't you supposed to be hanging out with your social group, concocting ways to rebuff me?
John: Ah, no. I just wanted to hang out with you.
Me: *slams locker door closed* Is this some sort of trick?
John: Why would this be a trick?
Me: Because you're popular and you're supposed to hate me. *starts walking off*
John: I actually like you.
I froze. He sounded hurt. Did he just say he liked me?
John: *comes in front of me* Everything alright?
Me: *speechless*
John: *smiled* I've never seen you lost for words before. Ohmygoshthatsmile!!! I didn't say anything.
John: *chuckles* Wow, this is a first!
Then the bell rang and i was shocked out of my shock (lol).
Me: There's a first time for everything. -_- Wow that was a lame comeback.
John: Sure is. Hey, I'll see you later, if i'm late to class the teacher will have a fit!
Me: Oh yeah, see ya!

Even though that was embarrassing i found myself humming on the way to class and even when i got told off for being late... I smiled.
Why am i so happy? He's popular and i'm nobody- we are enemies.
...
...
Nope.
I can't believe this is happening...

Alright! Let's skip the pleasantries and fast forward to lunch time when we had our super secret meeting in our super awesome janitors closet!

Silt: Why am i here if i'm not part of the prank?
Rocky: Just because you won't do my awesome practical joke, doesn't mean you're out of the club.
Me: Yeah, so what's the haps?
Tania: SECRET MEETING!
Me: WELL IT'S NOT VERY SECRET WITH YOU SCREAMING LIKE THAT!!!
Silt: Not to mention you as well. *rubs ears*
Rocky: Okay! Does anyone have any news?
Me: Connor tried to drop a bucket of glue on my head in math class... again. -.-
Rocky: Hey... that's actually a g-
Me: And he got detention this time because the teacher was bored. *narrows eyes at Rocky*
Rocky: ... um... a semi-good idea... NARF!
Silt: Anyway...
Tania: Gwen yelled at me when she saw me talking to someone who wasn't "average".
Rocky: tut tut, you've gotta be careful, Tania.
Silt: Well aren't you nice.
Rocky: I know right!
As they got into an argument i was thinking about what Silt had said yesterday and i decided i didn't want to repeat history so i said this:
Me: Hey guys! I have something else to say.
They settled down right away. ~Hey that rhymed! XD
Me: John came up to me yesterday.
Silence.
Rocky: Wait what? After all those rules?!
Tania: What happened?
Me: I tried to shake him off but he doesn't do what the populars do and he's actually genuinely friendly.
More silence.
Tania: So... you're going to hang out with him still?
Me: I don't see why not...
Aaannnd more silence. Apparently they didn't know what to think.
Silt: Well... I suppose if that's what you really want to do then fine. I won't stop you.
Me: ... Ooookaaaay?
Rocky: ... er... so... i know what we're going to do with this prank...
Silt: Okay, see ya. Don't get too out of hand. *leaves*
Maybe i should look at his diary again and find out what's going on with him.
So Rocky told us about his plan and it. is. great!
No i won't tell you because we can't risk anyone messing it up!
The only problem is that we need one more dog for the job- but i convinced the others i knew someone who we could trust for the job- yep, Samuel.
So after that, we all decided to ignore Gwen and her rules and just do as we want- they would talk to Silt about it too. Now we can sit on the bus together again!
And then the "meeting" ended and they went looking for Silt i told them i would talk to Samuel.

Me: Yo, Sam!
Sam: What?
Me: I have somethings to talk to you about!
Sam: Okay.
I took that as a 'go on'.
Me: I talked to my friends about getting rid of Mrs. Haley-
Sam: You what?
Me: Don't have a freak, i didn't say anything about you or who she is or even the gun- but i got them to help me and we came up with a prank to do on her that will make her want to resign.
Sam: *frowns* Let's hear it.
Me: *glances around and gives brief description of it*
Sam: okay... are you sure?
Me: Yeah, we'll explain in more detail later in the place i told you about, you in?
Sam: ... You're not gonna tell them anything are-
Me: No, of course not.
Sam: *narrows eyes at me jokingly* Sure.

He's in! And that's how that went.
Apparently John went on a sudden "vacation" for a few days or something so i won't be seeing him for a bit...
And most everyone in the school ignores me or shoots me dirty looks now that Gwen has taken over. Verbal abuse is still at a minimal (although i'll have to watch out for Gwen) but i have a horrible feeling that my enemies will increase in trying to humiliate or grind me to a pulp...
Oh, i keep forgetting to mention; it's really freakish going to science now, knowing Mrs. Haley is some lunatic from a lab with a gun! As soon as i walk out of the class i have a sore everything from being so tense the whole time (and whenever she asks the class a question i keep hallucinating her whipping out her gun, shoving it up my nostril and threatening to shoot me if i don't answer. Everyone looks at me weird every time i screech "I DON'T KNOW!!!")
That's all! Bye!

Let me know what you think of this story! ^u^

[mantlepiece]

I walked to school this morning at five am. So, i am sooooooo tired......

Oh yeah, sorry i dozed off. Here's what happened:

I got up super early and walked to school without a problem (my dad was asleep and had to go somewhere before i was supposed to wake up so yeah, plus i left a note on my pillow saying i went to school early, just in case.)
I met Tania and Rocky in the school parking lot (only the principal was at school).

Me: Hi, guys.
Tania: Hi!
Me: How can you be so... awake, Tania?
Tania: Coffee!
Me: Didn't work on me this morning. -___-
Rocky: I would laugh at how you look right now if i wasn't so tired.
Me: Nice to see you too.
Then Sam came.

Me: Hey Sam! This is Tania and Rocky *turns to friends* and you guys already know him.
Rocky: Hey Sammyo, glad you could make it.
Sam: That nickname is not necessary.
Rocky: ... Anyways, is everyone ready?
Tania: Yup! I brought the stuff you asked for!
Me: Same here.
Rocky: Great, then let's get started. Follow me.
Me: Is sleeping in an option?

Lots of boring setting up/avoiding teachers as they showed up goes here- i'll just skip to the part where we finished up.

Rocky: How you going?
Me: Good, everything is in place here.
Rocky: Great, now your assignment is to help me with the door dump since i don't have enough paws to do it myself, but our job is the most dangerous- we're probably going to get caught...
Me: Ohkaaay... what are the others doing?
Rocky: Tania is in place with the paint, keeping an eye out for her car and Sam is ready, hiding- by the way, he's a little creepy you know.
Me: Why do you say that?
Rocky: When i had told him about his job i looked away for a moment and then when i looked back he was gone! *shivers* Yeesh. I can't understand how you like him.
Me: Hmmm... Maybe he should do this.
Rocky: What?
Me: He could do your job and you can do his- if you didn't hear him go then maybe we'll be more likely to clear out without anyone knowing.
Rocky: ... maybe... we've got a bit of time so let's go talk to him.
So we went to the main entrance and made sure we didn't step on the door mat.
Me: Sam?
Sam: *appears behind us* You called?
Rocky: Dude! Stop doing that! You're creeping me out!
Sam: *smirks*
Me: We think that since you're so good at creeping around maybe you could do the door/bucket duty since it's rather... risky we'll get caught. If you do it we may have a better chance of pulling this off with a cleanly. Rocky can take your place here.
Rocky: I don't mind risking my hide on the door duty-
Zzzzz! (Rocky's phone buzzing.)
Rocky: Mrs. Haley is here! What's it gonna be, Sherlock?
Sam: Sherlock???
Rocky: GO! *shoves into the building* Do the door duty! Now!
Me: Okay! *pulls Sam after me*
We ran to our post, put the buckets in position and waited to drop them on Mrs. Haley.
Sam: What am i doing here?
Me: I was thinking, you said you can turn anything you touch into shadow, right?
Sam: yeah, why?
Me: That might come in useful when Mrs. Haley gets here and we need to make our escape.
Sam: What?! No! I've never turned another dog into a shadow! And if she sees me here she's gonna know i'm Specimen 2218!
Specimen 2218?!
Me: Shhhh! I hear her!
I peeked through the crack in the door and then she opened it.

I poured the bucket of fish oil all over her.
Mrs. Haley: AHHH! Ahhh! This ink hurts my eyes!! >_<
Then i poured the bucket of glue on her.
Then i nudged Sam and he dropped the bucket of fur and ash, then the feathers and crayon bucket.
Mrs. Haley: *gaping into the room*
That fish oil smelt horrible! And she looked like some kind of big-foot bird with crayons in it's fur.
Oh, by the way, we had taken all the furniture in the class and thrown it out the open window (even her desk which somehow got on fire...).
She took a step forward. One more step and she would probably see us in the corner of her eye.
Mrs. Haley: My firearm...
Suddenly, just as she went to put another paw in front of her (and everything seemed to slow down- it was really weird) i felt myself... i can't really explain it, it was like i was being released from a jar that i had been living in my whole life, i felt like i could do anything almost- then i felt myself being shoved into the crack in the door. O-O It is officially my weirdest experience ever.
Then felt normal again... like really heavy and finite- normal. -_-
And me and sam both ran down the hall and out the main entrance where Rocky was waiting.
Rocky: What happened? Oh my gosh this is awesome!
Me: Everything went to planned, i don't think she saw us.
Rocky: *fist pumps* YES! Oops. Did everything stick to her okay? What did she do?
Sam slumped against the wall, he looked like he was about to pass out!
Me: You okay?
Sam: yea
Me: Oh. My. Gosh! Is that her car?!
Rocky: Yep!
I think her car had been silver. But now it looked like whole cans of multi-colored paint had been dumped all over it!
Me:
Rocky: Let's go somewhere a little less conspicuous.
So we ran to the car park (half dragging Sam) and hid in some bushes nearby with Tania and a bunch of empty cans of paint.
Rocky: Nice work on the car, Tania!
Tania: Thanks! But i still wish you brought more blue paint. The car would've looked a lot better in blue.
We filled each other in on what happened and quietly celebrated our success while Sam fell asleep. BTW, the door mat had this super sticky stuff on it that trapped Mrs. Haley's shoes to it as she came in... i know, random.
Mrs. Haley's eyes almost fell out of their sockets when she saw her car- it was hard to keep Rocky from giving us away with his obnoxious laughing fits.
Anyway, she kicked her car then drove off in it and we dozed until the bus came up.

We succeeded! There was no science today and they announced that Mrs. Haley had left and would never be coming back! yay! But i have a feeling that if the teachers found out it was us that did the prank they'd kill us and dance on our graves.
We all sat together at lunch (even Sam did!) and filled Silt in. He wasn't happy with what we did but he was glad we hadn't hurt her. Then Gwen announced that Tania, Silt, Rocky and Sam were nobodies because they disobeyed her rules.
Tania told her to go chew on a rock.
She got so mad when we all laughed- she probably wants everyone to fear her.
My friends get along well with Sam, although they probably think he's a little weird. Oh, and i think Rocky burnt Mrs. Haley's desk...
I can't be bothered to write anymore- good thing too 'cause not much else's happened today.
Now Sam is getting told off for sleeping.
Hey, i just realized he hasn't been having trouble controlling his... abilities recently. I suppose he's mastered them.
Gotta go try keep myself awake for english lectures now. -_________-
