AGP Factory Gurls

I jump into the pool, making a splash. I had gone to the beach with Ruthie and some of her friends which I had learned are named Madeline, Rachel and Christine.
"Becki, can you do a back flip?" yelled Ruthie,
I watched Ruthie make a back flip into the water. I wasn't about to embarass myself by saying that I didn't,
"Ummm, well, I don't get to really practice it too often!" I yelled back, trying to find a way out.
"Try it anyway," said the red headed Christine,
I stuttered for a long time. I can do the back flip and harm myself or I don't have to do it and admit I lied that I do know how to do it.
"Well, see, I don't exactly remember, and stuff." I say instead,
"That's okay, maybe next time," said the Rachel. Her naturally curly hair was put into two cute ponytails.
I had learned that the girls i was hanging out with were sort of the "It" girls. Christine is a natural red head. She has long legs and is very pale. Her eyes are an icy blue and she always wears outfits that go a little over the top. Rachel was short, with brown curly hair that was a medium length. She was tan and had the prettiest brown eyes which looked like hersheys chocolate bars. She always wore shorts of some sort and never a dress or skirt. Madeline was an average height with blonde hair which was layered. She had blue eyes and resembled the My American Girl #39. She loved dresses and skirts. She almost never wore pants she was so in love with skirts. She was a total girly girl but I had learned that she has some of the highest grades at the AGF Academy (which is opened from September until the end of May.) Ruthie was like the alpha. Her dark brown curls were also put into two ponytails and her bikini looked as if she just stepped out of a swimsuit catalouge.
"BECKI!" I heard Ruthie scream, :WATCH OUT!"
I turned around to see giant waves. I fell onto the pool floor and quickly came up, gasping for air,
'Are you okay?" asked Rachel, who looked even more tan than she usually does,
I felt my nose bleeding and wanted to cry out in pain.
"I....Uh...." I stuttered, trying to get some words out but not able too.
"I'll go get someone." said Christine, running out of the water and getting some lifeguard.
"I'm sorry dude," said some voice.
"You could have watched were you were going," said Madeline, in her usually bossy girly voice,
"Yeah Tony, this isn't some football field where you can tackle everyone," chipped in Ruthie.
I tried to see who Ruthie and Madeline were talking too but the lifeguard came and made me get out.
Hmmmmmm, is it worth wondering?

Summer Days

I blew my hair out of my face. The sun was going on down but it was still super hot. Yes, you must have guessed that I am not in the American Girl Place anymore. I had decided to hitch a ride to the factory and I regretted it already. Here, you are more free but I won't know who might buy me. I also have made many enemies. All I know is that back at the store, Summer Vacation had started already. I was glad i was missing out for some reason though. Everyone hated me. I walked towards the fruit bar to get another smoothie,
"Strawberry ,again, Miss Rebecca?" asked the lady,
"Yes please," I reply.
I sit and slurp for another 5 minutes,
"Hey there, wanna go see a movie with us?" asks a brunette with gray eyes.
I guessed she was a Ruthie, she looked just like the Ruthie back at the AGP,
"Ummmmm, sure." I say, a bit uncertain.
I follow the girl into a dark room that's set up to look like a movie theater,
"I'm Ruthie, by the way," says the gray eyed girl,
"I'm Rebecca, but people call me Becki." I say,
"It's nice to meet you, are you new here," she asks,
"Umm, well, yeah. I used to be at the American Girl Place Chi...." I say before she cut me off,
"THE AMERICAN GIRL PLACE! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE THAT PLACE!" she said, very anxious.
"It's pretty cool but I think the factories better." I say, lying just a bit,
"Well, it's cool that you're here," she said
And that's how my first official day of Summer Vacation went.......

Back to blog

Sorry for not blogging for so long. Lot's have happened but I can't explain it all. Julie won the talent show if you're wondering, she made a laughing stock out of me. She turned off my music then she made it chipmunk version. She also made my microphone not work which ment that I ended up singing like some old cat lady who was never able to sing. Summer break start on the last day of May which means that next month at this time, I will be relaxing,hopefully. My sisters also emailed me that they are still SLOWLY raising money. It feels as if it's going to take forever until I come home. I also stopped coming to the auditorium and started ditching school. I don't know why I should keep going when nothing is changing and Julie and Lanie keep bullyinh me. Ivy still hasn't talked to me and succeeded in turning everyone against me which left me a loner. Some kids started calling me an emo since I wear darker colors then I used to. They say I'm goth and don't belong with them. I think they're wrong. OH WHEN WILL SOMEONE TAKE ME AWAY!

Hope you........

I came into the auditorium, Kyle was singing as usual but this time, he didn't stop as I entered. I got closer but he still didn't stop. HEY!I yelled once I noticed he's not looking up.I got closer and dropped my stuff and came on stage. He closed the piano and got up.He put my song on but I couldn't get into the song. Once he left the room I sat at the piano and decided to play the song that has been stuck in my head for a while. It was Miley Cyrus, it was strange for me that I had listened to it but I felt just like what the words where saying. I started singing,
"And I hope you find it
What you're looking for"
I kept singing until he came in. He sort of just stood by the door for a while, I didn't notice him until he dropped something. I looked up and saw him there.
"I'm sorry." I said.
He stood there for a while, not moving. Maybe 5 minutes after this awkward silence ended he spoke up,
"Why did you do that Tuesday?" I knew what he meant. The whole Ivy situation, [by the way, she's still not talking to me and is trying to turn everyone against me.]
"I didn't mean to." I said
"I didn't want anyone to know." he said.
"I knew." I replied
"I trusted you." Those words sort of stuck to me. I couldn't get rid of them. I could feel my face get red. I got up then and left.

Sick.........

My alarm clock rang. it kept ringing but I didn't do anything. I felt sick. Not fever sick, maybe more of a lovesick type thing. Last night, Ivy and I had a fight. A HUGE one, so big, not even the stars of Hollywood could match it. It started right after we left the auditorium, watching Kyle practice.
"He was good." she had said. I nodded in agreement. She siad some more stuff and I did the same but by the time we got to our regular seats in the cafe, it seemed as if she was getting suspicious, mostly because she said this,
"Wasn't it strange how he got up right after we entered and yelled I'm finished? It was as if it was a crime or something." I mmhed in agreement. I wasn't sure where Ivy was going with this but I decided to just agree.
"It's also strange that you finally get to hang out today since glee is canceled." I was getting annoyed at Ivy by now." But when I think about those two situations, it seems as if you've been ditching to hang out with Kyle." if I had a glass of something to drink, the cafe would have been flooded by now. I saw Kit and Sarah come in but Ivy continued, "AS if you were dating. You know he broke up with Julie, he gathered his stuff as if he were leaving as soon as he saw you come in and that song he was singing seemed pretty romantic." I had enough by now. I jumped out of my seat and said, "WELL MOST PEOPLE WOULDN'T EVEN GET TO A CONCLUSION LIKE THAT! JUST BECAUSE THATS WHAT YOU WANT OR THINK, DOESN'T MEAN IT HAPPENED!" everyone was staring by then, I even saw Julie and Lanie and the gang, and Kyle and the football players. I could feel my eyes tearing up and got up and stormed out. The End, no one lived happily ever after. That's why now I am starting to think the same thing too but needed a day to stay home and think about it. Sometimes I wish that I could finally get chosen, away from all those.........others.

Picturing Us

I closed my locker. It was the end of the day and everyone was rushin out of school to hang out. After school activities had been canceled today since the teachers had some meeting so I knew I would be able to practice without an excuse today sadly, Ivy had caught up with me by now.
"Becki, I feel as if you have been avoiding me wayyyy to much lately, what's up?", she said. I didn't know what to say, I couldn't lie to my best friend but I couldn't tell her the truth so i said the closest I could get to the truth, "I've been busy." there, it was completely a lie at least but I could tell she could tell something was wrong. "Well, are you busy today?" she asked. i wanted to tell her the truth but knew she'd feel betrayed. I was so close to the auditorium, I could almost see Kyle singing. I guess I that Kyle must have been really good since the next thing Ivy said was, "What's that awesome sound?" Today Kyle was singing a song I recognized as Pictures of You by The Last Goodbye. I knew I couldn't make Ivy leave without a REALLY good reason so let her push open the door and come in. There was Kyle playing the piano. He looked supercute in his dark skinny jean and aeropostle shirt. He was wearing a hat and in his backpack I could see a skateboard sticking out. By now, Kyle and I had sort of adjusted to me coming in half way through his song. He looked up as he heard the heavy door close. "I'M MOVING!" he yelled loudly. That was out usual cue meaning that he's almost done and it's my turn.  I could see Ivy getting confused but didn't say anything. We got closer and he noticed two of us were there. I couldn't let Kyle blow this for me and said, "NO, you should keep playing, sorry for disturbing you." I tried to shoot Kyle a look that said not now but was out of luck as I heard Ivy yell, "Yeah, keep singing." she got quiter than and finished, "you have a great voice." Kyle sat down then, getting the message that maybe not today but as long he sang, I was dreaming about Kyle and........ME! I lost track of what was happening and didn't hear him finish. All I heard was Ivy say, "we've got to go, THANKS!" and was rushed out of the auditorium.

Talent Gleek

The bell rang and I headed out of reading. Mrs.Borling had been explaining some book to us that I didn't care about. I had been planning for my rehearsal today. I walked down the hall to my locker as Ivy,Sarah and Kit ran towards me. They had just gotten out of drama, [I had it 8th period and they have it 9th.] They were sort of smiling and giggling. Kit then said, "You're coming to glee today right? We are working on some new act and Mrs.Larson just gave us some pointers about it!" Kit and Ivy were the only ones I had glee with. Sarah is pretty popular but she hangs out with us. She was smiling too,"Yeah and she taught us this move I can use in cheer today. We can make a show from yor guys' glee songs and my cheer moves." I watched the girls. I had already set up my rehearsal today and the show was in 2 weeks from today. I knew that I had blowed off glee for WAYY too long and that they must be getting suspicious. So I went with them. It was true though, whatever Mrs.Larson had taught Ivy and Kit must have been really useful. I found out that I had missed a lot and had to sit in the back of the room watching the girls and taking notes.  watched the clock tick tock towards 4:30 and as we were dismised grabbed my stuff obviously not fast enough though since Mrs.Bergman stopped me. "Becki,I've noticed that you have missed a lot of rehearsal this week." I interuppted her and said, "Yeah, I am so sorry, I was....... extremely busy." Well, that was true, at least half of it. I was busy preparing for the talent show. Mrs.Bergman then continued,"Yes, I understand but am going to have to ask you to do some extra work and come in in the mornings to work on some glee stuff to get caught up. Maybe even during lunch." I listened carefully noticing that my plan hadn;t gone how I planned. This might just make my chances to win the talent show,smaller. I grabbed my stuff then and turned around, mumbling a little, mhhh, on my way out. I walked towards the auditiorium once again and saw Kyle practicing. This time, I got to listen without interrupting. I got on stage and once he finished said, "You have amazing talent." He thanked me but the thank you didn;t sound too sincere. I watched as he walked over to put my song on and I started practcing. 45 minutes later, I stopped and got off stage. Kyle was still there, he looked sad so as I got my stuff ready asked, "Are you okay?" he looked at his feet and said, "Julie dumped me but it doesn't matter." I wanted to smile a little but wasn't sure why. I could feel myself blushing but managed to get out an oh. Not knowing what to do next, I got up and walked out but he stopped me by saying, "But I think you are a lot talented then her." There was an awkward silence for a minute or 2 until I said, "Thanks." and walked out with a huge smile on my face.
