Samantha and Simon stayed overnight last night - Mark was having his adenoids out in Bellevue, poor guy! :-( It was so weird sleeping over with them! I'm at their house so much - teasing Sam, making forts with Si, playing battleship with Mark, giving Beth bronco rides, playing with Lis. We watched Bridge to Terabithia, and then we stayed up talking until one, and V kept yelling at us, which was our cue to burst out giggling uncontrollably. Yes, Simon actually laughs. It's a miracle. *sarcasm* They took the bus with me today, and got off at school - they had math. I, however, am sitting in the lounge. We had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, and ice cream and cookies left over from a few weeks ago when V and I went overkill baking. (didn't tell them that!)

I'm like the bottom of the food chain at my school. I'm way smarter than anyone else, most of my courses are online, and I am not popular or superchic. Middle schoolers don't outright HATE me, but Maddie and Feya are always very exclusive, and I try to keep a safe distance from the brainless twits they call boys. So I'm just friends with the Rileys, the Zuvers, and the Andrews. I also have to put up with a cretinous troglodyte named Dmitri. He's russian, fifteen, but was adopted, so he's behind everyone else his age. He makes me so mad! After V teaches physics on Friday (he's part of the class, much to my agony) we generally walk up to the park for half an hour, and play around, which basically turns into football without a football. Like if I leap in front of Simon or Mark, like shielding him, Dmitri says something along the lines of : "Oooh, Natasha, you're the queen and (Simon/Mark) is the king!" And then Si or Mark says "Hey!" and tries to tackle him. And then he goes "Oh, wait, Nat, that would be you and Chris Andrews!" He is so stupid, and I don't want him ruining my friendship with the Rileys! What is his problem??? Revolting embicile that he is........

I love Gabby! Lessons are on a one month break (we're switching quarters) so I can't ride! So my Wednesday afternoons are open for homework, according to V. NOOO!!! Kathi, I wish I had your problem. Srsly, 'rents.

GTG,
Natasha
