    The kid who played To+o brought a s+ool and a pile of conic hooks onto the S+a^e, and that totally ruined the whole do^" effect.

    Great. X have beeh able +o keep that nickname <|uiei
for
five years, and how all
of
the suddeh the whole towh khew it. X could feel about
300 pairs of eyeballs poihted my way.
    So X did Some ^uick ad-libbihg ahd X was able to deflect the embarrassmeht over to Archie Kelly.

    But the major embarrassmeht was still oh the way. VJKeh X heard Mrs. Mortoh playihg the first few bars of Vie Xhree Trees,” X felt my Stomach jump.
    X looked out at the audiehce, ahd X hoticed Rodnck was hold'h    X knew that if X Sang the song and Rodrick recorded it, he would keep the tape forever and use ft +o humiliate me for the rest of my life.
    X didn’t know what +o do, so when the time came to Start Singing, X just kept my mouth sKut.

    For a few seconds there, things went OK. X figured that if X didn’t technically sing the Song, then Rodrick wouldn’t have anything to Fold over my head. But after a few seconds, the other Trees noticed 1 wasn’t singing.

    I ^uess ihey muS+Ve +Kou^K+ I khew Some+Kihg +U+ +Key didn't, so +Hey S+op^ed sih^ih^, +oo.

    Mow +Ke +Hree

of
+Ke lyrics +o us.
    'The song is only abou-t -three minu+es long, bu-t +o me i-t /eli like an hour and a hal/. X was jusi prayihg -the curtains would go down so we could hop
off
+he S+age.
    "Thais when X no+iced Pa+iy Farrell standing in -the wings. And
if
looks could kill, us Trees would he dead- She probaby -though* we were ruining her chances
of
making i+ +o Broadway or something.
    Seeing Pa-Hy standing -there reminded me why X signed up -to be a Tree in -the first place.

    Pretty sooh, the rest of the Trees started throwlhg apples, +oo. I think T>to eVeh 30+ ih oh the act.
    Somebody knocked the glasses
off of
Patty's head, and ohe
of
the lehses broke. Mrs. Mor+oh had +0 shut dowh the play after that, because Patty cah’t See +wo feet ih froh+
of
her without her glasses.
    After the play was over, my family went home together. Mom had brought a bouquet of flowers, ahd I guess they were supposed to be for me. But she ehded up tossihg them in the trash cah oh the way out the door.
    I just hope that everyohe who came to See the play was as ehtertaihed as X was.

    Wednesday
    Well, if one ^ood thing cane out of the •play', it's that X don’t have to worry about the "Botty' nickname anymore.
    X
saw
Archie Kelly getting hassled in the hallway after fifth period today, so it looks like X can finally start to breathe a little easier.

    this stuff going on at school, X haven’t even had time to think about Christmas. And it’s less than ten days away.
