How I Survived Middle School - Jenny Light (bill gates books to read txt) 📗

Last day of 7th grade

Did you ever know anyone who everybody admired, who always stood out in the crowd, who everyone wanted to be friends with? Well Maddiliene was nothing like that. She always wore a ponytail like every normal girl. But she didn't have any friends because of one reason: she was short and fat like a square. But now she isn't a square, she is Maddi. A lot happened over the summer. Lets start reading......
**********
The bell rang. Everyone rushed outside. But not me. I took my time to go to my locker, put my things away. And then walked home. *45 miutes later* ''Hey mom im home''
''Hi sweetie''. I went to my room, took out a piece of paper and starting writing my goals for the summer:
- exercise for 2 hours every day
- eat only fruits and veggies
- lose weight!!!
I sighed. I hated to be the loner in middle school. I was gonna have to lose weight. I have to get started by exercising. I took off my, clothes went to the bathroom to take a shower. *10 minutes later* I was in my boxer shorts and a yellow tank top. I went down stairs. My brother Chris stared at me. ''What?''I asked. ''where are you going?'' ''walking duh'' ''oh''
* 2 hours later* I was sweating like crazy. I had ran/jogged for 2 hours. Whew. I unlocked our front door. Chris stared at me again. ''WHAT?!'' ''U look like u took a shower'' I laughed. Went into my room. And changed. ''Maddiliene dinner's ready'' I went downstairs. She asked me what I wanted to eat I said '' only fruits and veggies please'' Everyone stared at me. What is up with everyone staring at me today! I ignored them. And ate my dinner. '' May I be excused?''
''Yes''.
I also need beauty sleep. So I changed into my PJ's and snuggled into my bed.

Getting to work

I was sweating like crazy again. But no one stared at me a lot today because they were getting used to it. I checked my weight. I used to be 200 pounds. But now i am 190 pounds!!!I had lost 10 pounds already!? Wow my routine was working. My goal was to be 90 pounds.
July* I woke up from bed today was another day of exercising, veggies and fruits. I put on my flip flops and checked my weight: 125 pounds!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!! Im so close!!! I went downstairs with more energy. Ate a snack bar. And went jogging. *2 hours later* I was sweating but i wasn't tired and i could run faster than before. I opened our door. Chris was inside with his friend playing video games. Chris's friend Dylan looked over at me up and down. '' Wow u changed a lot Maddiliene!'' I know right!! But instead i said: ''In a good way or bad?'' Dylan: '' both'' me: ''what's the good and whats the bad?'' him: ''good: u look hot, bad: i don't get to tease you anymore'' I laughed and rolled my eyes. Chris said: '' stop flirting guys''Me: '' him not me'' I went upstairs to my room. I was in he middle of the stairs when Dylan said: ''Hey Maddiliene, I never noticed before but u have cute eyes.'' Chris: ''STOP IT DYLAN! YOUR FLIRTING WITH MY SISTER!

'' I laughed and ran upstairs. Then i went back down and said: '' oh thanks Dylan, i never knew that before'' Dylan: ''No problem'' Chris sighed. I giggled and went to my room.
August*
I REACHED MY GOAL!!! ME MADDILIENE IS NOW OFFICIALLY 89 POUNDS!!! I did a victory dance. And guess what? school is starting next week!!! Now i have a week to go shopping and get a cool name. I grabbed a piece of paper started writing new names for me:
-Mad
-Madde
-Maddi
Yes Maddi! My mom called for dinner. I went downstairs. I got my regular salad and milk. Then as i was walking out, i remembered something. ''I've decided my name is Maddi now, short for Maddiliene.'' Chris groaned. Me: ''what''Chris: ''Dylan's gonna think Maddi is even hotter now!'' I giggled and said: ''Jealous?'' Him: "no''. ''hey mom can u take me shopping tomorrow?" "sure Maddi" Chris groaned again.

My mom took me shopping today, here's what i bought:
- Skinny Jeans(Gray)
- Tank top with a mini half sleeves jacket(TP: blue MJ: Black)
- High heel sneaker boots(cheetah print)
- Mascara
- Powder puff Lam'our
- Red T-shirt
- Natural eye shadow kit
- Jeans skirt and white and black striped legging(stops below my knee)
I used almost all my savings. But i have to admit I have fabulous sense of fashion :)
This is what i chose for the first day of school:
- Jeans skirt and white and black striped legging(stops below my knee)
- Tank top with a mini jacket(TP: blue MJ: Black)
- High heel sneaker boots(cheetah print)

I clapped! I was so excited. I put my clothes in the middle of my closet.
Now what do i do? I don't want to get fat again so i decided to go for a walk. I changed and went downstairs, yelled to mom where i was going and grabbed the keys.

First day of 8th grade!!!!!

Omg, school starts tomorrow! Im so excited! Gotta get to sleep!
**************
I took a shower and threw on my outfit that i had decided, and started doing my make up. I decided on gold sparkly eye shadow,mascara,powder puff, and lip gloss. Then i started curling my hair. When i was done i looked in the mirror. OMG i looked to different! I was Maddi! I went downstairs. Everybody stared at me again. Chris groaned.
Me: what chris
chris: u look- i dont know, hot?!?!
Me: thanks :)
I ate breakfast. Then my mom drove me to school. I walked to my locker. From behind, someone grabbed me.

Who's that?

I turned around. It was a jock. I struggled to get out of his reach. ''Let go!''I said. ''Hey give me your phone number'',he said.''no, i barely know you'' i said. Dylan came up to me.
Me: ''help me Dylan!''
Dylan walks away. How could he!?!? But then i heard the jock behind moan. Then he loosened his grip. I turned around. Dylan was kicking the jock from behind. The jock left.
me: "thanks Dylan"
him: "no problem Maddiliene"
me: "by the way, my name is now Maddi"
dylan: " ok, no problem Maddi''
I went to first period. I survived until lunch. I got my tray. I saw Dylan waving at me to sit with him. He was sitting with 2 of his friends and 2 other girls. I sat next to one of the red haired girl. She said: ''Hi im Kate. nice to meet u!" Me: "Im Maddi. Nice to meet u too :)" The blonde haired girl next to Kate said: ''Im Linda. Hi Maddi" " Hey Maddi'' Dylan said. ''Hi'' We ate lunch like best friends. We made jokes, had a little food fight. It started when Dylan threw a pea at me. I threw something back at him then the whole table was fighting. Girls against boys. Then the bell rang. Kate said: "Hey Maddi do u want to come over to my house today at 7:00? Linda's coming too'' My mom won't mind. Me: " sure just text me your address" We traded phone numbers. I made it through the first day of school. My mom drove me to Kate's house. ''See ya later!'' i yelled to Chris." Whatever"
