SUPER FUN HAIR IDEAS!
The other day I was super bored, I started sketching me, Chloe, and Zoey with different hairdos.
First I sketched the three of us with afros. You know, like really big teased up hair that looks kind of like a helmet. To complete the look, I drew us all with bell bottoms and tie-dyed shirts.
OMG we looked like TOTAL hippies!
After that, I drew us all with big prom hair. Picture us with curly hair all piled on top of our heads.
I gave Chloe a pink princess sort of dress, and I drew Zoey in a short sparkly dress. Mine was super chic! I gave myself a long black lace one shoulder dress…like something you’d see at the Oscars!
Obviously we wouldn’t wear any of these looks or hairdos to school, so I started to think about some new looks we could actually try out with each other. Here’s what I came up with:
1. Crown braids!
This is when you make a French braid that goes from one side of the front of your head to the other, which make it looks like a crown made out of braided hair.
You can do it with a small amount of hair, or a big thick piece. Either way, it’s a super flirty fun look…a PERFECT hairdo for that department store sundress your mom just bought you!
(And by “you” I mean “me” since my mom still refuses to take me to the mall!!!)
2. Fishtail braids!
This one is kind of complicated to explain. Basically, you part your whole head of hair down the middle.
Then you take a small piece from the outside of the left section, pull it over that hair, and put it under the hair on the other side….and then repeat on the other side. Then you just keep doing that.
It’s a super cool look and it can be neat or totally messy. I’m thinking this would look good with like jeans and a cute top.
3. Messy bun!
You know that Lady Gaga look, with a HUGE hair bow on top of her head? This is KINDA the same idea, except it’s something you could actually wear!
You basically put your hair in a high ponytail, and then wrap the hair around it to make a bun. But you make it kind of messy, and use bobby pins to hold your hair down.
I’m thinking this would look cute with skinny jeans and a sweater.
4. Half up with a Snooki bump!
OK, so it wouldn’t be as HUGE as a Snooki bump, but just the same basic idea. All you need to do is get the section of hair you want to put up, spray it with hairspray, and then tease it with a comb.
Then you have to smooth out the hair on top so it covers the teased part, and use a clip to secure the whole thing to your head.
I’m not really sure what you’d wear with this look! I’m guessing a dress of some sort (hopefully not a super tight one like Snooki wears…those dresses are SO tacky!!)
That’s all I came up with. I can’t wait to try these ideas on Chloe and Zoey!!!

MY REALITY SHOW!!
Remember recently I told you that I SO don’t keep up with the Kardashians? The main reason I’m not a fan is because I know it’s all totally scripted.
And this last season, all the stuff they did to that basketball player giant was totally cruel! OK, so I MIGHT have watched just a little of their take New York show.
In this one scene, Khloe and Kourtney put a snake in Kris’ bed. Who does that?? Seriously, I can’t stand MacKenzie and I would NEVER put a reptile under her covers.
And then there was the way Kim treated him. She was always like “Wah wah wah…I’m so rich and SO unhappy because this isn’t the fairy tale I dreamed about!!”
I am usually super sensitive to boy problems because I think we girls need to stand by each other!
But it’s totally obvious she married him for the $18 million she made off their televised wedding, and then she made him look like a dang fool on national television.
SO mean!!
I think that E! should give ME a reality show instead! I can promise that NO 6’9” athletes will be hurt in the making of MY show!!
What will my show be about you ask? And where will the drama come from?
Hello! You’ve read my diaries! You know my life is drama central!
Of course I’ll have to script it just a little. I’m pretty sure I won’t attract millions of viewers with a slow-motion scene of Brianna spilling milk while trying to eat her cereal with her hand friend, Miss Penelope.
And even though the trash-in-the-locker thing was pretty scandalous for my school, I don’t think it would bring in the ratings like the hair-pulling brawls you see on those Real Housewives shows.
Don’t worry…I wouldn’t totally sell out or anything! I’d just have to make my life a little more interesting.
So here’s what I’m thinking: Brianna will need to have some kind of horrible habit that she’s totally in denial about. I think Red Bull would be the best way to go. No, I won’t give her actual Red Bull!!
She’s already crazy hyper! The last thing she needs is an energy drink!
I’d empty a bunch of cans (because I’m not drinking that stuff either! I read it stunts your growth, and I want to be Tyra’s height some day!) Then I’d fill them with apple juice, because it’s pretty close to the same color.
BAM: first point of drama for my very own reality show…my impressionable younger sister is throwing her life away on Red Bull!
The next thing a good reality show needs is constant bickering. I don’t actually like fighting very much. (I’m more the “Can’t we all just get along?!?” type).
So I’m going to ask Chloe and Zoey if they want to pretend they’re super mad at each other when we shoot the pilot (that means the first ever episode!)
I’m thinking it can be over some kind of boy drama. Ooooh! I got it!
Chloe can be like, “You’ve been flirting with Paul like it’s no big deal, and it makes me sick because he’s really your secret, long-lost brother!”
Everyone likes a secret relative!!
The only other thing I can think of the top of my head is mom getting pregnant with sextuplets. But I think that might take some convincing.
OMG I am so kidding about all of this! I would NEVER want to have a reality show!
Seriously, I think those people lose all touch with ACTUAL reality, and they never realize what’s happening because they’re too busy rolling around in piles of money and counting their designer shoes.
I just want to grab them all by the shoulders, shake a little sense in them, and say, “Step away from the camera!!!”
The competition shows are pretty cool though. I’m ALL ABOUT Dancing with the Stars!!
What do you think about reality TV? Good? Bad? And what shows do you like?

STUCK BABYSITTING BRIANNA!
Arrrgggghhh! That’s me being TOTALLY annoyed about tomorrow night!
Earlier this week Chloe invited me and Zoey for a sleepover on Friday. In case you don’t remember, I recently made a super detailed guide for an awesome sleepover, so I was totally psyched to put it all in action.
We were considering having a Twilight movie marathon, and there was a distinct possibility we might make up some kind of dance. Oh, and we were also going to play Truth or Dare.
I had some awesome dares planned! I was going to dare Zoey to call Paul Preston and sing Happy Birthday…to her grandmother! Like she had the wrong number!
And I was going to dare Chloe to put lipstick all over her face…and then take a picture of herself and put it on Facebook.
Super funny dares, right? It was going to be all kinds of AWESOME!
But then today my mom was like, “We know you had plans for tomorrow, but your father and I REALLY need you to babysit Brianna for us. You can have a sleepover with Chloe and Zoey next weekend instead!”
I wonder if that logic would work for me, too.
“Mom and Dad, I know you expected me to go to school today, but I REALLY need to sit in the backyard sketching and eating candy all day. I can go to school next week instead!”
Somehow I think that wouldn’t fly!
I know Dad felt super bad about it. He was like, “Sorry kiddo. We’ll make it up to you, we promise!”
I’m hoping by “We’ll make it up to you!” he means “We’ll buy you an iPhone!” But somehow I think it doesn’t!
I asked if Chloe and Zoey could sleep over our house since I’m going to be chained to our living room all night, and my Dad said, “We don’t feel comfortable having that kind of shindig without chaperones here.”
I was like, “I didn’t say anything about having a shindig. I would never do that, I swear!!”
Then I Googled shindig and realized it’s an old person’s word for party. Dad really needs to update his vocabulary!! AND get some actual babysitters on speed dial, stat!
I guess I kind of understand why they need my help. They’ve been planning to go to this big Pest Control Association gala for weeks.
(Can you believe they actually have those?? I wonder if they eat a rat shaped cake off plates shaped like bugs…)
Brianna was supposed to go to her friend’s house for a sleepover, but that girl’s mom got sick with the flu.
Didn’t she know that would TOTALLY mess up my night? Couldn’t she have gotten sick next weekend instead??
I’m kidding of course! (Kind of…)
So now it’s going to be just me and Brianna, sitting around coloring while she talks to me with her hand.
Miss Penelope better not get on my nerves! That’s how much Brianna talks with Miss Penelope. I’m starting to talk about her like she’s a real person…like she’s an actual human being that somehow got trapped in Brianna’s hand.
I swear, I hear that thing talking in my sleep!!
Maybe it won’t be all bad. I could chat with Chloe and Zoey on IM. Or I could try out some new nail art on Brianna.
Do you have any ideas for fun things to do when you’re stuck at home babysitting? I need all the ideas I can get!

7 WAYS TO KNOW IF YOUR CRUSH IS INTO YOU!
There’s nothing more annoying than having a big fat crush on someone and not knowing if he’s into you too.
OK, so maybe there are SOME things that are more annoying…like getting a big wedgie when you’re dancing center stage in the talent show, but you know what I mean! Back to crushes…
Doesn’t it drive you crazy when he smiles at you in the hallway, and you’re not sure if it’s because he thinks you look super cute OR he’s really smiling at the CCP behind you?
Or what about when he asks for your phone number, and you’re not sure if it’s because he can’t wait to talk to you after school OR he wants to have it in case he needs help with his homework some time?
Totally stressful right? Tell me about it!! Why don’t boys just come right out and say, “I think you’re awesome and I have a big fat crush on you!!”?
I remember when I was in first grade this boy named Darby (who would name their son that??) used to throw sand in my eyes every time we went to the playground.
My mom was all like, “That means he has a crush on you!”
Um, really? In what world does nearly BLINDING someone equal a show of love?
That’s not what I do when I have a crush on someone!
When I’m totally into a boy, I doodle his name in my notebook, talk about him 24/7, and then ask pretty much everyone I know, “Do you think he has a crush on me too?!?”
OK so I’m no better than boys!
Since we’re all way too scared to just tell each other what’s up, I came up with the little guide based on super scientific research I’ve done in the past.
(And by “super scientific research,” I mean I’ve watched what Paul has been doing to Zoey, because I know that boy has it bad!!)
You know your crush is into you when:
1. You catch him looking at you in class. Did you just happen to lock eyes five times while taking a test recently? Unless you had the answers written on the side of your face, it’s because he’s TOTALLY INTO YOU!
2. He pauses a lot when he’s talking to you. It’s probably not because he’s a super slow thinker. It’s because he wants to say the right things because he’s TOTALLY INTO YOU!
3. He knows stuff about you, like what activities you do after school, without you telling him. Unless you’ve been emailing him your life story, one chapter at a time, he’s TOTALLY INTO YOU!
4. He just happens to walk by your locker all the time, even though his is nowhere near yours. Unless your side of the school smells awesome, like sizzling bacon, he’s walking over there because he’s TOTALLY INTO YOU!
5. He drops things a lot when he talks to you. It’s not because he has some kind of disease that makes him tremor 24/7. He’s just nervous because he’s TOTALLY INTO YOU!
6. He asks your friends stuff about you. I know, I know, he could be completing an English assignment to write about all the girls in school. OR maybe it’s the way more obvious answer…He’s TOTALLY INTO YOU!
7. He laughs at your jokes, even the silly ones. That knock-knock joke you busted out in homeroom? Nope, not funny! It’s just that he’s TOTALLY INTO YOU!
8. He defends you against CCPs. Remember when that evil girl said something obnoxious, like, “Where did you buy your shirt? The 99 Cents Store??” And he was all like, “I think it’s kind of cool.” He’s not just REALLY into girls’ fashion. It’s just that he’s TOTALLY INTO YOU!
So that’s my super scientific research! What do you think…good stuff? If your crush likes you too, how did you find out?
Update: Sooo I just noticed I actually gave you 8 ways, not 7, like the title says. My bad! Consider the 8th one a bonus.

5 THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU’RE BORED
Remember I told you before that sometimes I think my mom is BRAIN DEAD? Today is one of those days.
It’s been raining all afternoon, which is super LAME. Even worse, the cable went out!
I yelled, “Maaaaaaa!!!!” But she didn’t answer. So I ran into her room, and she was taking a nap. After I shook her for a good five minutes, she mumbled, “It happened last week, too. Our cable company stinks. It should be back soon, and the Internet, too.”
The Internet, too?!? I ran to my computer so fast that I almost tripped and fell flat on my face. She was right. The Internet was down, too!
So I ran back and said, “When will it be back?!?” And then she said that last week they were down for two hours.
I was all like, “Noooooo!!!” like someone running in slow motion away from a massive explosion. I had my whole afternoon planned, and it wasn’t going to work without TV or the web. I mean it was raining so bad that my house was starting to feel like a submarine. What else could I do?
After about 10 minutes of staring at the TV, trying to will it back on with my superhuman mind powers, I went back in my Mom’s room, and said, “I’m SOOOO bored!!”
And she said, “You’re too smart to be bored, Nikki. Find something to do and let me sleep, K?”
Too smart to be bored? What kind of dumb logic is that??
I sat fuming for a good 10 minutes, and then realized my mom was right…our cable company stinks!
Since I clearly wasn’t going to get to watch TV, I needed to find something to do with my time. I decided to make this list of things to do when you’re bored when there’s no TV or Internet so I’d be covered if this happened again. Here’s what I came up with:
1. Make your bratty little sister give you a manicure and pedicure.
2. Use your mad art skills to give yourself a tattoo…but don’t let anyone see it! They might all want you to give them tattoos, too, and that can be super overwhelming!
3. Make homemade fake puke so that you have a stash if you want to stay home from school in the near future. (It’s always good to be prepared! Just be sure you put it in the fridge and label it “Science Project” so no one eats it or figures out what it is.)
4. Take pictures of all your old worn-out clothes so you can provide concrete proof to your parents that you are fashion-challenged and they absolutely HAVE to take you to the mall for a shopping spree.
5. Pretend you’re living in a real-life social network. Poke your brothers and sisters. Run up to your parents and give them a status update: “I just ate a rice krispie treat. Yum!” or “I have to pee so bad! TTYL!”
OK so it’s just a short list, but it’s a start!
And now that the cable and Internet are back, I get to enjoy my surfing with smiley faces on my toe nails, a giant blue butterfly on my hand, two jars of fake puke in the fridge, a photo album full of gross old stretch pants to use as leverage for future shopping…and annoyed Mom who now knows TMI about my snacking and bathroom habits.
What do YOU do when you’re bored? Inquiring minds want to know!!

4. Take pictures of all your old worn-out clothes so you can provide concrete proof to your parents that you are fashion-challenged and they absolutely HAVE to take you to the mall for a shopping spree.
5. Pretend you’re living in a real-life social network. Poke your brothers and sisters. Run up to your parents and give them a status update: “I just ate a rice krispie treat. Yum!” or “I have to pee so bad! TTYL!”
OK so it’s just a short list, but it’s a start!
And now that the cable and Internet are back, I get to enjoy my surfing with smiley faces on my toe nails, a giant blue butterfly on my hand, two jars of fake puke in the fridge, a photo album full of gross old stretch pants to use as leverage for future shopping…and annoyed Mom who now knows TMI about my snacking and bathroom habits.
What do YOU do when you’re bored? Inquiring minds want to know!!

VALENTINES DAY WAS AWESOME!!!
Squeeee!!! I don’t think I need to tell you what that’s for.
But just in case you don’t own a calendar, and you’ve been blindfolded every time you’ve walked into a store lately, and you somehow glossed over the title of my blog post…drum roll please…yesterday was Valentine’s Day!!!
I LOVE Valentine’s Day. I know what you’re thinking. It’s probably because I’m all love sick about Brandon, and I spent the whole day writing “Nikki Roberts” in my diary and doodling little hearts.
Nu uh! I didn’t! I actually think Valentine’s Day is super fun for friends…whether you have a crush or not!!
So I decided to forget about Brandon and make little Valentine’s Day gifts for Chloe and Zoey. Since I know Chloe’s been bummed lately, I thought this would be a great idea.
This way, we can make our own super fun V-Day tradition, and no matter who has a crush or a boyfriend as we get older, we’ll always know we have each other. (Super sappy, I know!!)
First, I bought two little boxes of candy conversation hearts, because everyone loves those! Then I made a couple of paper flowers, which was actually really good practice.
I’m trying to become awesome at origami so next year I can sell those flowers at school. Creative bouquets + romantic consumer holiday = me making BANK!
For my last gift, I decided to make us a three-way set of BFF necklaces. In stores, you can only buy those hearts split in two…which I think it so lame! What if you have more than two BFFs, hmmmm?
Ever thought about that jewelry design people? You’re TOTALLY missing out on a whole segment of friends!! (Maybe I could sell those too!)
Since you can’t really cut a heart in three pieces, I decided to use stars for each necklace. (Which I think is actually much better. Who really wants to wear a BROKEN heart around their neck??)
I bought the charms at a jewelry store. On the fronts, I painted “BFFs” and on the backs, I painted our initials (CZN!)
I gave them these little gift packets at lunch, and they totally loved them! Chloe and Zoey were super thoughtful too. Chloe made red velvet cupcakes for all of us (so yummy!!) and Zoey brought us both cute Valentine’s Day cards she made herself.
I know what you’re probably thinking: This is all SOOOO fascinating Nikki, but really?? You forgot about Brandon??
OK I lied! I didn’t completely forget about Brandon. I actually made him a flower too. But I didn’t want him to think I was giving him something girly, so I used turquoise paper.
It seemed like a good idea when I made it, but every time I saw him in school, I felt super awkward.
I mean, I knew it was Valentine’s Day, but it’s not like we’re boyfriend and girlfriend or anything. And what if he didn’t have anything for me? He’d probably feel totally uncomfortable!
I was going to ask Chloe or Zoey to give it to him for me…and then I remembered I’m NOT five. Seriously, if I was going to do that, I may as well have sent him a note that read, “Do you like me as more than a friend? Circle yes or no!”
Luckily, I didn’t have to think about it for too long, because he walked up to me at the end of lunch and handed me a box of candy conversation hearts. See, even Brandon knows EVERYONE loves those!!
I smiled and handed him the turquoise flower, and he smiled back. And then the bell rang. I know, it’s not a totally romantic moment or a first kiss or anything, but I thought it was kind of perfect.
How was YOUR day??

CHLOE AND ZOEY MADE UP!!!
Squeeeeee! That’s the sound of me being TOTALLY psyched because all is right in the world again!
I was SO bummed out about Chloe and Zoey being mad at each other, especially because it was over something so silly.
If Zoey kicked Chloe’s cat or tried to set her hair on fire, than I could totally understand why Chloe would be super upset. But ruining some magazines while flirting with a crush? SO not a big deal!!
I wasn’t sure if I should butt out or try to help, but I think I did what any good friend would do. (I took some of your advice!) I trapped them both in the janitor’s closet and yelled, “Snap out of it and love each other dang it!!!”
OK, so it wasn’t quite like that. But it DID involve the janitor’s closet.
Chloe and Zoey weren’t talking to each other, which was totally weird since we all sit at the same lunch table. They were just sitting there with sad little puppy dog faces on Wednesday.
SO depressing! Seriously, I didn’t even enjoy my chicken nuggets…and I LOVE when it’s chicken nuggets day!!
Today I decided enough was enough! So I put notes in both of their lockers.
In Chloe’s note, I wrote, “OMG I’m so sad! I didn’t finish my homework yesterday and my mom grounded me for TWO WEEKS! I need to talk ASAP! Meet me in the janitor’s closet at lunch!”
In Zoey’s note I wrote, “OMG Brandon seems totally mad at me, and I have no idea what I did! I need your advice ASAP! Meet me in the janitor’s closet at lunch!”
I know I lied to both of them. I had to! It was for their own good!
Chloe got there first. She gave me a big hug and was all like, “That stinks you’re grounded, but I’ll IM you every afternoon to keep you company!” See, that’s why I love that girl!
Then Zoey came in and looked totally surprised to see Chloe there. (I kind of thought they would have seen that coming…the janitor’s closet it OUR place…ALL of our place!)
Zoey wasn’t rude or anything, but I could tell she felt a little awkward.
She went, “Looks like you guys have this boy emergency under control…” which made Chloe kind of confused. She was like, “WHAT boy emergency??” I should have just written the same note to both of them!
From there I just blurted it all out:
“OK, so we are all best friends, and I love you both and I know you both totally love each other! We’ve all been through SO much together! It’s TOTALLY weird that the two of you aren’t talking, and so I brought you here to remind you both why NOTHING should ever ruin our totally awesome friendships!!”
First I pulled out a picture of the three of us from that photo booth thing in the movie theater and said, “Exhibit A: We all have so much fun together AND we look super cute in group photos!”
Next I pulled out a friendship bracelet Chloe made me, that looks just like ones she made for herself and Zoey, and said, “Exhibit B: We’re total BFFs AND we have the bracelets to prove it!”
Then I said, “Exhibit C…” and paused.
At the same time, they both said, “What??”
And then I said, “We all think so much alike! Seriously, we could totally finish…” and paused again.
At the same time, the both said, “Each other’s sentences!” And then we all started laughing.
Zoey told Chloe she was super sorry for spilling our Root Beer floats on all the magazines. Just like I thought, Chloe said she wasn’t really mad about that. She just felt bad because there aren’t any boys calling or IMing her right now.
So we all made a pact right then: None of us will ever let little things pull us apart again…AND we’ll make sure we don’t get too crazy over boys.
Someday we’ll all have real boyfriends, but even then, the most important thing is that we’re all BFFs. And NOTHING will ever change that!

FRIEND DRAMA!!
So we all know I have the most AWESOME friends in the whole world! Chloe and Zoey are always super thoughtful and friendly…AND they give great advice!
It’s like having two Tyras on call 24/7. Seriously, I could call either of those girls at any time with any kind of problem, no matter how small, and they would TOTALLY be there.
OK, so maybe not ANY problem at ANY time. I bet they’d be kind of annoyed if I called whining about a pimple or a hang nail at 1:00 AM.
And I’m pretty sure their parents wouldn’t be too cool with that either, but the point is I know those girls totally love me. And I love them! But still, today was drama central!!
Last week, Chloe lent Zoey a bunch of old magazines she saved.
She has a MASSIVE collection! Maybe that’s why I always get a headache when I walk into her bedroom. I subconsciously think I’m in the waiting room at a doctor’s office!
(Actually, it’s probably because her mom’s bedroom is right next to it, and that woman uses so much perfume, it burns my nose hairs!)
Anywho, Chloe lent Zoey all those magazines because Zoey wants to do something different with her hair, and she needs ideas.
I was over Zoey’s house after school yesterday, and we were looking at all the magazines drinking root beer floats. OMG so good!! I was also logged into AOL Instant Messenger on Zoey’s computer.
Chloe had a doctor’s appointment, so she couldn’t come over, which I know made her super sad.
Around 4:00, Brandon IMed me, right around the same time Chloe got out of her doctor’s appointment. She called us from her mom’s cell phone in the car to let us know she was coming over.
I was being all flirty online, while Zoey tried to give Chloe a play-by-play. Then call waiting beeped in, and it was Paul Preston!
When Zoey switched back to Chloe to tell her, Chloe started acting all weird. She was like, “Sounds like you guys are having a ton of fun with your boys. I have a lot of homework actually. Maybe I’ll just see you guys tomorrow.”
I grabbed the phone to say, “Don’t be crazy girlfriend! WE MISS YOU!!”
Then Zoey tried to grab the phone back from me, and she accidentally knocked over our Root Beer floats and spilled them all over the magazines. I totally saw it happening in slow motion. I really wanted that Haagen Dazs!
But it turns out that wasn’t the real problem. The real problem was Chloe. She didn’t exactly say it, but I could tell she was SUPER annoyed.
She was like, “Zoey spilled on ALL the magazines? ALL of them? Even the STAR ones?” That girl LOVES herself some trashy celeb gossip!
Then Chloe said the phone was breaking up and rushed us off the phone. Between me and you, I don’t think it had anything to do with the magazines. I think it was because she felt bad that she doesn’t have a crush calling or IMing her.
Today in school, Chloe told me she was kind of mad at Zoey because she was “too busy giggling about Paul” to be careful with her stuff.
Then Zoey told me she was kind of mad at Chloe because she rushed us off the phone and didn’t come over. They both told me not to tell the other one, which really stinks! I HATE being in the middle!
We’re all such awesome friends and we hardly ever fight about anything. We’re WAY too close to let stupid petty drama tear us apart.
I know it would probably help if I stop talking about Brandon so much around Chloe, and I’m totally willing to do that. No boy is more important than my BFFs!
But first things first: I need to get Chloe and Zoey to talk and hug it out!
Should I just tell them both it’s no big deal and they should make up? Or should I just stay out of it? What would YOU do??

WHEN BRANDON CAUGHT ME AT HIS LOCKER
I’m sorry for the crazy suspense after my last post!
I had to run because my mom was FREAKING OUT.
Brianna was having a “Who can eat the most mayonnaise?” contest with her friend, and guess who gave her that idea?
She KNEW it made me totally sick, but what can I say? The girl wants to be JUST like me!!
Anywho, I’m sure you’re DYING to know what happened with me and Brandon. In case you didn’t read my last post, let me get you up to speed:
Brandon has been a little quieter than usual and I’m not sure why. I think maybe he’s stressing out over school and grades or something. I know, I sure AM!
Anyway, I wanted to cheer him up by decorating the inside of his locker, but in an act of total dumbness, I accidentally planted my diary in there inside a huge pile of candy and assorted decorations. Then the bell rang and he was walking right toward me! That’s where I left off….
When I saw him, I almost peed myself. If I didn’t do something, he’d open his locker and find my diary!
I had to think quickly, so I yelled, “OMG! He just stole my purse!” and pointed down the hall in the opposite direction.
Forget for a minute that I had my backpack, and I’m pretty sure Brandon has NEVER seen me carrying a purse. It worked in Mean Girls when Damian took Cady’s purse…Aaron totally ran to catch the guy.
So I figured if I accused some phantom purse snatcher, Brandon would do the same thing. And he did! He bolted down the hall to get my bag for me. He is SO sweet and awesome!!
I knew I probably had less than a few minutes before Brandon realized he was chasing no one. So I started trying to open his combination. I was TOTALLY panicked. My hands were sweating and shaking.
I felt like the WHOLE school was watching me, waiting for Brandon to come back so they could all scream, “Nikki broke into your locker and she just STOLE something from it!!”
I kept telling myself to calm down. I was like, “Pull yourself together Nikki!!” If I could, I would have slapped my own face. People always do that in the movies when someone is totally spazzing out.
Eventually I got it open, dug through all the streamers, and found my diary. Thank goodness!!!
Right as I turned around and let out a HUGE sigh of relief, I saw something that almost made my eyes bleed. Yup, you guessed it: MacKenzie!
She was standing there with her arms crossed, tapping her shoe and smiling with this creepy, demonic little grin.
She was all like, “Well, well, well….what do we have here? Looks like the GARBAGE bandit strikes again!”
I think maybe earlier that day she blew her nose and her BRAINS accidentally came out because she actually thought I broke into Brandon’s locker and filled it with a heaping pile of trash, like Pat and his friends did to her.
I might not be the slickest girl when it comes to crushes, but I’m pretty sure shoving pizza crust and snotty tissues into a guy’s locker does NOT qualify as flirting!
Still, she thought she caught me red-handed. She was all like, “I knew it! You found out that Brandon can’t stand you, and you decided to get back at him, just like you tried to do with me!”
When Brandon came running down the hall, she yelled, “Just WAIT ‘til you see what Nikki did to your locker!”
When he opened it, a ton of candy fell out. I yelled, “Surprise!” I really wished MacKenzie wasn’t there, because that was SO not how I visualized that moment.
Still, I wasn’t going to let her ruin it. I told him I wanted to do something nice for him because he’s such a good friend, and I yelled that crazy thing about the purse because I didn’t finish before the bell rang.
And then he smiled…that big, awesome Brandon smile I love.
So he didn’t end up finding my diary with tons of doodles about how awesome he is, but I get the feeling he already knows that.
I may have done the dumbest thing ever, but it ended up being the BEST day ever!!
Posted in My Blog1,096 Comments
THE DUMBEST THING I’VE EVER DONE!!!
I’ve done some pretty bonehead things before, like the time I wanted glittery lips for Halloween, but I didn’t have glittery makeup…so I put super glue on my lips and then kissed an open jar of glitter. Super glue + mouth = lips STUCK to teeth!
Then there was the time I challenged my friends to a “Who can eat the most mayonnaise?” contest…as in huge spoonfuls of the sticky white stuff. It tastes SO good on sandwiches, but half a jar of mayonnaise + ice cream from earlier in the day = an insanely long night of feeling super queasy like you’re about to throw up or something.
But nothing…and I mean NOTHING compares to the DUMBNESS of what I did today.
OMG I’m so embarrassed!! Deep breaths…
It all started when I noticed that Brandon seemed a little down at school and quieter than usual. I really missed that mega-watt smile of his.
So, I decided to do something to cheer Brandon up because he’s such an awesome person and I’m like THE best and most caring friend ever.
So I decided to decorate the inside of his locker. I figured if a bunch of mean boys could dump trash in MacKenzie’s, I could leave some sunshine in his!
I was going to put a bunch of funny pictures, bright streamers, a happy face sticker, and other silly things in there to make him smile, along with some Starbursts because candy always cheers ME up!
First I had to get his locker combination. I didn’t have to be Robert Downey Jr. to figure that out. (Get it? Because he played the detective Sherlock Holmes? Moving on…)
I pretty much just talked with him one day while we were walking between classes, and then watched him open his locker. (If only I could do that with people walking to their ATMs…THEN I could get an iPhone. Kidding! That would be SO illegal!)
Anywho, once I had the combination, all I had to do was pick a time when I knew he wouldn’t come to his locker. I chose lunch, because “thou shall never miss a meal” is pretty much in the boy rule book.
I was at his locker, putting all the stuff in there, and it was turning out awesome! It looked more festive than my last birthday party. Seriously, it was like Disneyland in a tiny metal box.
Just as I was walking away, I decided to look in my backpack to make sure I used everything I brought. I didn’t want to forget anything! It turns out I really did use EVERYTHING in there, because my diary was missing!
I’d shoved a huge pile of colored tissue paper and streamers in my bag, and I just grabbed the whole thing without realizing my diary was in that heap of stuff.
And then the bell rang and Brandon was walking right toward me! I’d planted my diary smack dab in the middle of his locker and then decorated it like a huge piñata. It was like I was saying, “Surprise! Here are all my secret thoughts and tons of doodles about how cute you are!”
I didn’t know what to do! I didn’t have time to get it out. I seriously had all of 10 seconds to decide on my next move.
Dang it! I have to run. My mom’s calling me and I have no idea why!
