DORK DIARIES once upon a dork by Rachel Renee Russel
"Would you like me to make one for you, Nikke It's yummy! SEE?" Brianna said, shoving her sandwich right in my face.
I cringed at the slimy, drippy mess.
EWW! It SMELLED even worse than it looked. Kind of like peanut butter, jelly, and,… um…rancid pickle juice 😞!
"Um… no thanks!"
I muttered, totally grossed out.
"Come on. Just take one bite!!" Brianna said, waving it under my nose. "You'll LOVE it!"
"No, Brianna! Actually, I'm not hungry anymore! I took one look at your sandwich and COMPLETELY lost my appetite!!"
"Are you SURE? It's awesomely delicious!"
She giggled.
I just rolled my eyes at that girl.
What part of the word "NO" did she NOT understand?I
I wanted to scream, Sorry, Brianna, but
I will not eat it with a DOG!
I will not eat it with a FROG!
I will not eat it with a CAT!
I will not eat it with a RAT!
I will not eat it in my ROOM.
On the BUS. Or on the MOON!
I will not eat it NORTH or SOUTH!
It made me throw up in my MOUTH.
Call me PICKY! Call me FICKLE!
I DON’T like PBJ and PICKLES!!!
Anyway, Brianna went to the fridge to get a juice box, and gathered my stuff and was about to head out the door, when suddenly she came charging at me like an angry baby rhinoceros in pigtails.
SHE actually accused ME of taking her sandwich!
That's when we started yelling at each other.
"My sandwich is missing, and YOU took it"
"Brianna! I wouldn't feed that nasty sandwich to my WORST ENEMY!"
And by worst enemy, I meant people like . ... well you know
MACKENZIE!!!
Although, now that I think about it, I probably WOULD feed that sandwich to my worst enemy.
I'd LOVE to just shove it right down her throat!
Just kidding 😃
NOT 😒
Actually, I really am kidding 😊!
I try to be friendly and get along with EVERYONE at my school. But for some reason, MacKenzie
HATES MY GUTS!!!
Anyway, by the time I finally left for school, Brianna was busy making another sandwich.
It's like, the older she gets, the more BRATTY she becomes.
I think it's time for me to have a very serious talk with my mom and dad about their parenting
skills.
WHy?
Because I'm really SICK and TIRED of Brianna
1. taking my stuff without permission (like my
clock!).
2. stealing my cell phone to play the Princess Sugar
Plum games and running down my battery.
3. waking me up in the middle of the night to take her to the bathroom, by jumping up and down on my bed (while I'm still in it!!!)
