Standing Up

I am SO pooped.

Last night was FMSG's famous Spring Fling and I had a blast... for the most part...

So this is basically how the night went:

Jane, Noelle, and Piper and I walked in, dressed in our special spring outfits. We danced for a couple hours, drank punch, talked, and danced some more. Then Nellie came.

Nellie (of course!) was wearing this super fancy dress and shoes. She looked like a million bucks and a quarter.

"Hey, Cali," she spat as she passed me on the dance floor.

"Oh, hi, Nellie," I said back, politely, letting her by.

"Wow... your hair looks like a truck ran over it," snarled Nellie as she ran her perfectly-manicured fingers through her styled hair. "No wonder you don't have a date."

By now I was totally fed up with her. So what if I didn't have a date with me? I didn't even see Nellie with a date, either. That girl had bothered me since the day we met back in August and I'd always been too timid to speak up and tell her to stop getting on my nerves. Well, not today, I was thinking.

"Nellie Christelle O'Malley, I am SICK and TIRED of the way you talk to me so please BUG OFF!"I shouted, clenching my fists to keep my anger from coming out like an erupting volcano. Jane wandered over, grasping a paper cup filled with punch and ushered me away.

"You stood up to her!" Jane cheered when we were back by the snack table. "I am so proud of you."

"I'm proud, too. Nellie has been rude long enough and I think it's about time someone put her in her place," I admitted.

Jane nodded and we walked back out on to the dance floor and had a great (no, terrific!) rest of the night.

What I still can't believe is that I, Cali Hazelwood, stood up to Nellie, the queen of mean. I just hope me telling her what's up will stop the bullying for once and for all. A doll can dream, can't she?

Smelly Nellie

I am completely and utterly BORED.

Nothing (and I mean nothing) has been going on here. Other than Shannon getting primped and polished for her first round of AGMA, Sunny has barely had time to do anything with us dolls. I guess that's what happens when your Algebra teacher assigns you a ton of math every night and you have softball practice every night, but, oh well.

I do have news, though. Barely, but I do.

Nellie is back.

For a month or so she's been pretty okay. Not exactly friendly, but not mean either. UNTIL... today. I was just walking down the halls of FMSG when she rammed into me like a bull.

"Excuse you!" she yelped, her books scattering on the linoleum.

"Uh, sorry, Nellie," I said as I bent over to help her retrieve her fallen folders.

"Whatever. JSYK, you need glasses! I almost died." I could hear the mockery and sarcasm back in her voice.

"You didn't 'almost die'. You were the one who rammed into me, you know."

"Get out of my way, Hazelwood. You're on my list."

Well then, I was thinking. Nellie the Notorious was back and she was meaner than ever. Just great.

*Sighs*

I don't know what to do about her! Sometimes she seems so cool and calm and other times it's like a fire is raging inside of her. I guess I was pretty dumb for thinking she might actually stop her ways for once, right? Gosh, I hope I don't see her at the dance on Friday...

Weekend!

Hey, everyone, it's me, Cali! So much has been going on here (Sunny's softball tournament + homework galore = busy!) so I'm very glad I've found the time to update! Anyways, I just wanted to say congrats to

Shannon and the other dolls that got into AGMA (including Serenity from Ruthie's View and Kristy from Elizabeth's Adventures) and that everyone's auditions were great. Shannon can't wait for the first assignment. :)

Also, like I said before, Sunny had a tournament this weekend for softball. She plays second base and outfield. Her team won first place!!!!!!!

As for me: same old, same old. The only thing that I'm actually looking forward to right now is the Spring Fling, which is this coming Friday. No one has asked me to go with them yet so for now I'm just going with a bunch of friends. It's going to be a ton of fun! Everyone has to get all dressed up in dresses and suits, drink punch, and chat. This is probably the biggest school festival FMSG ever has!

And, before I forget, the Earth Day Contest has been held over to April 29th. Please enter!

So that's all for now. Have a great weekend!
