Diary of a 5th Grade Outlaw Book 10: The Friend Thief
I was at the jungle gym It looked like a ghost town Who me I would have thought that after Nadia supposedly stopped charging Bonus Bucks to go down the slide kids would have been racing to use it But instead there
wasn’t a kid in sight It’s like because it wasn’t being taxed no one even wanted to be on it anymore One good thing about that was that it had turned into a really quiet spot where I could be alone I climbed up to the top Then I started running back through everything my friends had just said to me First LJ said that I’d started ignoring her when Mary Ann started hanging out with us She specifically talked about the basketball game over the weekend But LJ was wrong I hadn’t
ignored anybody during that game If anything I'd defended Mary Ann Everyone else had tried to give her a foul for crashing into LJ but she didn't know what she was doing They were the ones being hard on her And then LJ and Sammy had gotten their way because Mary Ann is so nice and LJ had taken the foul shot and scored on her free throw Wait that wasn't right LJ hadn't gotten it in But that's weird She always makes her foul shots I tried really hard to remember
what else happened An image popped into my head and my jaw dropped open when I suddenly remembered VA MOS ANZA W I'm the reason LJ messed up the shot
