I was very shocked when MacKenzie came 
over and gave me a big hug. I think she only 
did it to make a good impression, because 
what she said to me was not very nice or 
sportsmanlike at all.
“Nikki! Congratulations on winning first place, 
hon! If I had known the art show judges 
wanted talentless junk, I would have framed 
my poodle’s vomit stains and entered it as 
abstract art.”
OMG! I couldn’t believe she said that right to 
my face. She should have just scribbled
across her forehead with a purple marker. 
That would have been LESS obvious!
I was like, “Thanks, MacKenzie. You’re such 
a big BABY! Just cry yourself a river, build a 
bridge, and GET OVER IT!”
But I just said it inside my head, so no one 
else heard it but me. Mostly because I’m a 
nice person.
It had absolutely NOTHING to do 
with me being a little SCARED 
of her or anything.
My BFFs, Chloe and Zoey, sat right next to 
me during the dinner. And as usual, we were 
acting really silly and having random giggle 
attacks.
When Brandon came over to take a picture 
of me for the school newspaper and 
yearbook, I thought I was going to DIE!
At first I was happy Chloe and Zoey 
were there with me, because I was SUPER 
nervous.
 I’M SO
JELLY!
