There's a new afterschool club for raising coins. I think I might join it. I mean, I'm not really into that stuff, but Mackenzie Roberson is a member, and I figure maybe if I get there early I could sit next to her.

That big bully Nate Johnson took my lunch money and tore up my copy of Spine-Tingling Tales of Glenn Noir and the Demon Aliens today. I hate him so much! Mr. Jefferson says if you ignore a bully, he'll lose interest. My dad says that's a crock of bullcrap (except he didn't say bullcrap, he said a bad word) and that the only way to deal with a bully is to smash his thigh in. He's really big though! Maybe I should take some ellas-fu lessons.
