Diary of a Wimpy Kid Read Online Free PDF Page A

kid in the back was holding a fire extinguisher, and when the truck passed by us, he opened fire.

    I have to give Rowley credit, because he blocked about 95% of the water with his shield. And if he hadn't done that, all our candy would have gotten soaked.
    When the truck drove away, I yelled out something that I regretted about two seconds later.

    The driver slammed on the brakes and he turned his truck around. Me and Rowley started running, but those guys were right on our heels.
    The only place I could think of that was safe was Gramma's house, so we cut through a couple backyards to get there. Gramma was in bed already, but I knew she keeps a key under the mat on her front porch.
    Once we got inside, I looked out the window to see if those guys had followed us, and sure enough, they did. I tried to trick them into leaving, but they wouldn't budge.

    After a while, we realized the teenagers were going to wait us out, so we decided we were just gonna have to spend the night at Gramma's. That's when we started getting cocky, making monkey noises at the teenagers and whatnot.
    Well, at least I was making monkey noises. Rowley was kind of making owl noises, but I guess it was the same general idea.

    Eee Eee!
    Ahh Ahh!
    Hoo!
    Hoo!"
    I called Mom to tell her we were going to crash at Gramma's for the night. But Mom sounded really mad on the phone.
    She said it was a school night, and that we had to get home right that instant. So that meant we were gonna have to make a run for it.

    I looked out the window, and this time, I didn't see the truck. But I knew those guys were hiding somewhere and were just trying to draw us out.
    So we snuck out the back door, hopped over Gramma's fence, and ran all the way to Snake Road. I figured our chances were better there because there aren't any streetlights.
    Snake Road is scary enough on its own without having a truckload of teenagers hunting you down. Every time we saw a car coming, we dove into the bushes. It must've taken us a half hour to go 100 yards.

    But believe it or not, we made it all the way home without getting caught. Neither one of us let our guard down until we got to my driveway.

    But right then, there was this awful scream, and we saw a big wave of water coming toward us.

    Man, I forgot ALL about Dad, and we totally paid the price for it.

    Heh, Heh."
    When me and Rowley got inside, we laid out all our candy on the kitchen table.
    The only things we could salvage were a couple of mints that were wrapped in cellophane, and the toothbrushes Dr. Garrison gave us.
    I think next Halloween I'll just stay home and mooch some Butterfingers from the bowl Mom keeps on top of the refrigerator.

    Thursday

    On the bus ride into school today, we passed by Gramma's house. It got rolled with toilet paper last night, which I guess was no big surprise.

    I do feel a little bad, because it looked like it was gonna take a long time to clean up. But on the bright side, Gramma is retired, so she probably didn't have anything planned for today anyway.

    Wednesday

    In third period, Mr. Underwood, our Phys Ed teacher, announced that the boys will be doing a wrestling unit for the next six weeks.
