• tab I never got why they have us go to school, and then have all these days off, like today, Labor Day.
    tab Families and friends, some of which I didn’t know, drove to Paradise Cove with us and had a party. It was quite enjoyable; the sight of a beautiful beach, the smell of barbeque, the sound of laughing children and crashing waves, the taste of the salty sea air. It would have been more fun if Haley had been there. She suddenly became sick with the cold.
    tab I brought my laptop with me to the beach, and I was IM-ing her every second. At one point, we were talking about her cold, at another, we were talking about Derik

    tab HalezDaBomb108: So, I was talking to Derik on aim yesterday...
    tab ToriGlori5678: Yes? What did you say?
    tab HalezDaBomb108: I told him u liked him.
    tab ToriGlori5678:  You suck! Why’d u do that?
    tab HalezDaBomb108: Let me finish. He said that he liked u 2 & that he’d
    tab dump his girlfriend just 4 u!
    tab ToriGlori5678: OMG!!!!!
    tab HalezDaBomb108: Then later, he aimed me back saying the he broke up
    tab with her, right when she was going to break up with him!
    tab ToriGlori5678: =] =] =] But r u sure?
    tab HalezDaBomb108: lolz duh! Oh, I think he logged on. I’ll go invite him on.
    tab ToriGlori5678: No, Halez wait!
    tab HalezDaBomb108: brb
    tab ToriGlori5678: no, wait!

    tab After a few minutes, Haley came back on with another person.

    tab HalezDaBomb108: I’m baaaaaack
    tab ToriGlori5678: lolz
    tab HalezDaBomb108: Tory, this is Derik. U guyz met in science class.
    tab CuteBoyy1990: Sup
    tab ToriGlori5678: Hi

    tab No one wrote anything for a few minutes, and then Haley typed:

    tab HalezDaBomb108: So... um...
    tab CuteBoyy1990: Howz da cold doin 4 ya Haley?
    tab HalezDaBomb108: Ugh, I hate it! I can’t do anything but lie under my
    tab blanket and go onto my computer. I can’t even leave my bed!
    tab CuteBoyy1990: That sux.
    tab CuteBoyy1990: Wait, then how do you go to the bathroom?
    tab HalezDaBomb108: Well...

    tab Haley and Derik just went on and on about her cold, and they didn’t mention me, It felt like they forgot I was there, and then Derik typed:

    tab CuteBoyy1990: So Victoriana...

    tab I noticed my name, and automatically typed:

    tab ToriGlori5678: Ya?
    tab CuteBoyy1990: There’s this new Jamba Juice at the mall. Do you wanna
    tab get a smoothie sometime?
    tab ToriGlori5678: Sure! Maybe we can go after school Friday.
    tab HalezDaBomb108: Ooh! Can I come?
    tab CuteBoyy1990: Sure, if you’re feeling ok tomorrow
    tab HalezDaBomb108: Well I’m not too sick...
    tab ToriGlori5678: =] lolz

    tab “Victoriana! You get off that computer right now! Labor day is about family and friends, not playing games like Club Penguin, or whatever you play, on that laptop!” Mom scolded me.

    tab ToriGlori5678: Sorry guyz, I gtg. Mom’s throwing a fit
    tab HalezDaBomb108: lolz, it’s ok
    tab ToriGlori5678: Byezzz!
    tab HalezDaBomb108: Buh Byeeee!!!
    tab CuteBoyy1990: Cya

    tab I logged off, turned off my computer, and spent the rest of the day being buried by sand by my little cousins.
