I knew right then and there I had pretty 
much blown any chance of Brandon asking 
me to the dance.
But the good news was, I had made a startling 
scientific discovery about my intelligence and 
even reduced it to a working formula.
Then things got even WORSE.
I was in the girls’ bathroom when I overheard 
MacKenzie bragging to her friends that she 
was practically 99.9% sure she and Brandon 
were going to the Halloween dance together as
ROMEO AND JULIET!
I was VERY disappointed, but not the least bit 
surprised.
I mean, WHY would Brandon ask a total 
DORK like ME when he could go with a CCP 
(Cute, Cool & Popular) girl like MacKenzie?
And get this! As they were leaving, 
MacKenzie giggled and said she was buying 
a new lip gloss JUST for Brandon.
I knew what THAT meant!
I was SO frustrated and angry at myself.
I waited until the bathroom was empty, and 
then I had a really good SCREAM.
