NIKKI MAXWELL: THE MAKING OF A POP PRINCESS! EPISODE #8
MONDAY, MARCH 31
MacKenzie is still supermad at me because I beat her in the Extreme Ski Competition on Saturday.
And get this! She totally ignored me at my locker this morning when I tried to congratulate her on her second-place finish.
Hey, I was just trying to be friendly and show good sportsmanship.
NOT! !
Actually, I was trying to RUB HER NOSE in the fact that I’d given her a good BEATDOWN on the ski slopes at Swanky Hill Ski Resort!
Anyway, I’m supposed to be sitting here in class conjugating French verbs.
But HOW in the world am I supposed to concentrate on something as boringly mundane as conjugating French verbs when Brandon kissed me?!
OMG! BRANDON ACTUALLY KISSED ME!
YES!! He. Kissed. ME!
SQUEEEEEEE!
He is such a sweetheart to do that for charity !!
Wait a minute! Oh, CRUD!! NOOOOO!!!!
IF it was for charity, maybe he didn’t mean for it to be a REAL kiss?! !! But only a kiss to, like, help needy children?!
Which is GOOD for them. But BAD for ME!! Because that means we’re just two very good friends helping to make the world a better place. Which is wonderful! And horrible at the same time!
JUST GREAT!! !
Now I’m REALLY confused!!
WHICH kind of kiss was it?!
A just-a-friend kiss?
A let’s-save-the-world kiss?
Or a you’re-my-girlfriend kiss?
I could just ask him. But then he’d think that I thought it was a really big deal.
And I DO! But I don’t want HIM to know that!
SORRY!
I can’t help it.
I’m SUCH a DORK!!

She has raised two daughters and lived to tell about it. Her hobbies include growing purple flowers and doing totally useless crafts (like, for example, making a microwave oven out of Popsicle sticks, glue, and glitter). Rachel lives in northern Virginia with a spoiled pet Yorkie who terrorizes her daily by climbing on top of a computer cabinet and pelting her with stuffed animals while she writes. And, yes, Rachel considers herself a total Dork.
