Diary of a School kid

Chapter One

Hi! I’m Jonathan! But everybody calls me Johnny. Today at school I got a 95 on
math, a 86 on grammar, and a fail on my paper. My mom got on to me about my paper on
the way home. So we ate dinner then my dad came home. “Why so late dad?”
“Oh, I was extra busy today.” Answered my dad.
“Johnny, do you have something to say to your father?” Said my mom. I knew
what she meant. But instead I cleared my throat and said.
“Well, we dissected frog!”
“He made a fail on his paper today.” Corrected my mom. My dad was silent. Then
my mom sent me to my room for the rest of the night. As I was sitting in my room I
thought about the world I had created, in my imagination, called Dodo World.(And no,
there were no Dodo birds in the world, only humans.) I also remembered the night when I
had a dream that I was in Dodo world and everyone wore noodle hats and that everybody
always played soccer the whole day. In fact I even added that to what the people in Dodo
world do. Although I made up Dodo world I’ve never really wanted to live in it, if it was
possible. Then I felt like reading. So I read the book called “Do Hard Things” And I read,
‘And if You don’t like to unload the dishwasher then go and ask spiderman to do it for
you.’
“What?” I said.
“Oh, I have it upside down.” Then I read, read, read, and read. Then I Finally
finished five chapters and went to bed. Another school day awaits.

Chapter Two

“Wake up!” Shouted my mom. So I got up packed my back pack which felt like a
two ton brick behind me. So ran downstairs. Only I fell backwards on the first step
because of the weight of the back pack . So I slid down the other steps and found myself
on my back hurt and probably bruised too. So I got in the car and read the “Do Hard
Things” book and we were off. You’ve got to hate it when its a gloomy and drowsy day
and your reading about something that doesn’t really help with the situation. Because the
book is now telling me that when I have nothing to say I should just say
supercalifragillisticexpialidocius. Whoop! I have it upside down again. So then we got to
school and I saw the bully in our class named Corey. I hid behind a tree. Then I heard a
familiar voice saying,
“Come on Johnny!” He said. I turned to look and saw that it was my friend Frank.
So we went inside and rushed to our class got our stuff out and began class. Our teacher
was named Mrs. Johnson. She was my favorite teacher. Then there was a man named Mr.
Fedricks who always ate bananas, even while he was teaching class. And worst of all was
when Mr. Fedricks would come up real close to me because I did something wrong and
I’d smell the horrible smell of bananas in his bad breath. Now usually I like bananas. But
when you mix it with the smell of bad breath, that’s a different story. But then finally we
have my second favorite teacher, Mrs. Hobar. She is the one who teaches math.(But of
course the only fun part about school is recess.) Oh alright, science is fun too, but
everything else isn’t my favorite. Ok, now I go to grammar class, this is where Mr.
Fedricks, the guy with the banana breath, teaches. Grammar, to me, just gets too
complicated once you get into the verbs, adverbs, adjectives, prepositions, states of being,
and lots of other stuff. Plus its pretty easy which is why it’s not my favorite. But luckily I
didn’t get breathed on with Mr. Fedricks’ breath! That’s right I’m movin’ on to the next
class. Mrs. Harbor’s class, math class. Math gets pretty complicated to like 389 - m = 46.
And then it might say ‘then find the third of that number, and so on. So then it gets to
recess. I usually play with Frank on the slides and talk about Star Wars. (My FAVORITE
movies!) And then I just walk around with him talking about different stuff like
conversations we overheard about what might happen to our country or class and stuff.
Then it’s time for S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G. (I know clever huh? Ok maybe not.) Mr. Gorely
teaches this class. And Mr. Gorely is the one who has the deep voice and always speaks
firmly. Then that’s my school day. Not bad, huh? So then my mom picked me up and
drove us home. Then, though this is much more shorter than school, this is the
challenging part, getting my heavy back pack back upstairs. I fall many times usually but
today I actually didn’t fall once. Then I thought about what I could add to Dodo world
and its strange people. So I added to it all I saw in my dream the night I told you about.
They wore spring shaped noodle hats that got wider as it got higher and they played
soccer the whole day. Then I thought ‘what else could I add?’ Then I thought of some
people I knew today. So I made up a character called ‘Big Billy’, representing the big
bully at school. And Big Billy, in Dodo world, was the biggest kid there. And people
always knew him for eating three cupcakes a day. Then I read some more of ‘Do Hard
Things’ and this time I did NOT get the book upside down. Oh, and if I haven’t
mentioned this yet, I’m eleven. Technically this book, ‘Do Hard Things’, is all about
random stuff. In fact, some of the stuff, in certain chapters, don’t even have to do with the
title. Well, I guess I can guess why. It’s probably just because the same guy who wrote
the book couldn’t think of a name for the book. He could’ve called it ‘Dumb Pigs’ or
something more strange than that. Any way it’s 9:30 and I guess I aught to be heading to
bed. School day two, here I come!

Chapter Three

Sleep, sleep. “WAKE UP!” Shouted ( actually screamed) My brother Nick hitting
me with a pillow. “Stop Nick!” I groaned. So then I packed up and followed the same
routine that happened yesterday. Wake up, brush my teeth, comb my hair, pack my back
pack, slide down the stairs because of the weight of my back pack, tell my mom I’m
ready, go outside, get in the car, and we’re off! Unfortunately I forgot my ‘Do Hard
Things’ book so I guess I’ll just have to think of some other stuff to Dodo world. Let’s
see I could add another character referring to someone I know today. I know! There could
be a guy, representing Frank, named Mysterio, and Mysterio was sort of the outcast to
Dodo world. He liked to play with Legos and go in the woods. Uh oh. We’re already at
school. Now we follow the same routine that followed yesterday. Go to Mrs. Johnson’s
class. She’s the one who teaches history. Mr. Fedricks class. Mrs. Hobar’s class. Recess,
and Mr. Gorely’s class. Today I got straight A’s! And on math I got a 100! Then my
mom came to pick me up and I thought of what else I could add to Dodo world. I
couldn’t really think of anything. So we came home and then I read my ‘Do Hard Things’
book. Really the only reason I made Dodo world is so that people could read the book I
will eventually write about it. My. Brother kept on begging me to lay ‘hide and go seek’
with him. But I refused. I was too focused on my book. But today I learned that my the
school is going on a field trip on Friday. But my mom came and said that we couldn’t.
She said that we were having Aunt Orrie and Uncle Tom over for two days. Now my
mom and dad just have this grudge against me and it really aggravates me. So I felt very
horrible as if I didn’t exist. Then when the day finally came to when my Aunt and Uncle
would come, my mom went over the things we all should be doing when they got here.
She said
“ I’ll be in the kitchen showing them our lovely home. And Nicholas you’ll be?”
“I’ll be at the door and opening it for them.” Replied my brother. And then my
mom pointed to my dad and said
“And you will be?”
“With you my love, in the kitchen!”
“And you will be.” My mom pointed to me.
“In my room pretending like I don’t exist.” I said. Then I ran upstairs. I began to
read my ‘Do Hard Things’ book again. I was almost done with it. After I had read my
book as much as I could. I could hear that my Aunt and Uncle had just come in.
Then I began to think about what else I could add to Dodo world. I decided to
sneak into my mom and dad’s room and turn on the tv. I looked on the news channel and
saw that a man near where we lived was murdering and kidnaping children! I gasped and
ran downstairs, but then I paused. I figured that my mom and dad would try to make up
some weird reason to not let me speak, and second, if my mom and dad found out I
sneaked onto their room and watched tv, Yikes! So I slowly but surely went back upstairs
and to my room and ell asleep for the night.

Chapter Four

I woke up hearing the faint chirping of birds far in the distance. My mom woke me
up and I did the famous routine. Get up, comb my hair, get dressed, brush my teeth, pack
my back pack, get killed on the way down stairs by my back pack, report all the things
I’ve done to my mom, get in the car, and we’re off! When we got to school I ran with
Frank to Mrs. Johnson’s class, then we rushed to Mr. Fedricks class, got Banana breath
all over my face, rushed to Mrs. Hobar’s class, Recess, rushed to Mr. Gorely’s class, and
we were done. Then my mom picked me up and we went back home.
 Well, the most unexpected thing happened to me today. I got knocked out by my
brother throwing a softball at least 15 miles per hour toward my head. It’s still throbbing
a little bit, and it has a big bruise on the left side of my forehead. Then my mom told me
to get lots of rest so I went to sleep, again for the rest of the night.

The Final Chapter

I woke up did the Famous routine got in the car got to school and finished school
after eight hours. THAT WAS MY FINAL DAY OF SCHOOL FOR THE YEAR! Today
I got straight A’s on everything except for grammar. Then my mom picked me up, drove
us home. And believe it or not I started and finished the ‘Dodo World’ book in one day!
Then, after I made plenty of copies of it. I sent it to everyone in school to read. Thanks a
bunch for reading the diary of Johnny Skimmer!
