How to be Cool in 5 seconds by Margaret Faulkner (books for 7th graders .TXT) 📖

"Stop..." rewind the clock. What happened here, it`s like the Bull of Time rode through here. Summer ended quicker than I thought, I mean seriously that is so weird. Well I thought it would just be normal, ya know getting back to school. But I was wrong, I have to go to a new High School, uhh what`s it called, Joahlson High, yeah. I`m going to hate it there, I have a wierd feeling inside telling me, "hey stupid, it`s for wealthy rich kids or famous kids." I know I may not have that big a talent or money and stuff. But I can write though, I guess that`s a talent, the reason why I got in this school was because I wrote a story about a girl, and ya know it was sad and stuff. And the teacher loved it, she even cried, so a lot of people read it then one day I was called to the office to get a schoolarship to Joahlson High. That was also the worst day of my life. Why? I got a schoolarship to Joahlson High. So right now I lay awake in my flower pajamas, thinking sbout school tomorrow, yeah. I`m gonna hate it.


I wake up to the sound of my clock singing, or really it's saying

 "Wake up it's a new day, sunshine !"

So I look at the clock a little more, then punched it until it broke.

"Awww," I say in relief, "Now, I can sleep in peace."

Yeah, right now it has to be 5:00 in the morning, and school starts at 5:00 in the morning. So, yeah I might as well just get up and go get ready.

"What do you think Goldie?" ( My Goldfish ).

She just stares at me blankly.

"Nah, I wont get up, good night, or morning or... you get the point. I better get back to sleep before..."

"Maggie it's time to wake up!"

" Something like this happens."

So I get up walk to the restroom freshen up and put on some clothes. I wore a red sweater that had a puffy, cartoon dog, and baggy jeans with flowers. I put my glasses on then licked my braces. Yeah, I'm a real nerd, hey at least I don't have to wear headgear...anymore.
I wore braces since I was four, impossible you say! It's not my fault the dentist said my teeth were so crooked they don't have enough time to wait. I've also worn glasses since I was two! I'm not normal!

"Ok mom were getting on the bus." Stop, ok that girl who just talked like a high school prep is my older sister, she's the total opposite of me. She's the prep I'm the loser, She's good looking I'm uhhhh, well I don't know what I am. She likes perfumes, makeup, magazines, and most of all boys. I like books, Glee, yellow glasses, and boys.
