  3. Melinda's Mom:
    Oh what will I do with her. She has completely changed. She used to be so smart and cheerful and now she is being such a rebel. Her grades are dropping and she barely talks. What ever happened to the little girl who I treasured so much. I need to talk to her.

    Why are they cutting back on my Art supplies! Why are these kids complaining about what subject they have for their painting. They are lazy, annoying, and rude. They have no respect for what I say!

    I see her in the hallway every day, she can't hide her dirty little secret any longer. She will crack soon, and when she does, I'll be there.

    Ugh. Melinda is so annoying. Today in Algebra she was being such an idiot. I can not believe she did not understand that math problem. I even understood it. Then well we were both up at the board and I was solving the problem she is in her own little wold thinking about something completely different. She is so annoying and stupid. Ugh.


    Melinda's Mom:
    I am so mad at that girl. She thought she could put one over on us. She was so wrong. She has so much potential, but she does not try hard enough. She has changed. She was this cheerful girl and now she is this gloomy girl that I do not even know. She used to have good grades, now her grades are so very poor. Melinda has changed into a girl I don't know anymore. I wonder if it is my fault, because we do not talk anymore. I really want know what is going on in her mind. I really wonder.......................

  7. Heather-So the Martha’s gave me an assignment today and so I did it with Mel. She is so messy I mean she can’t put many things together. So maybe that just isn’t her thing. But I don’t think she wants to be part of the Martha’s as much as I do, I mean she told me not to join in but I want to. Anyways when Mel left and Meg and the girl’s cam in they started to talk about Mel and how she is a freak. I feel bad for Mel because no one except me really likes her. The worst thing that is on my mind is how I didn’t defend Mel in there. I feel so bad even though she didn’t hear, which is good, I still feel bad because she is my friend.

  8. The Marthas:

    Meg-Heather did a really good job with decorating that room.
    Siobhan-yeah but why was she hanging out with that girl. I can't even believe someone like her would even be friends with THAT!
    Meg-hey that's not nice. I mean she said that was her first friend here, and she is a new student so what do you except?
    Emily-Wel I think it was very nice of her.
    Meg&Siobhan-?why?
    Emily-Well because THAT girl, has no friends. If you've noticed the only time you see her is when she is in the back, or with Heather.
    Siobhan-Well i think that this is too weird.
    Meg-Lets just confront Heather about it later.
    Emily-And say what?
    Meg-Well lets just find more about THAT girl and why Heather is friends with her.
    Siobhan-I don't know. I mean lets just say that if you want to hang out with us that you can't be seen with HER.
    Emily-SIOBHAN!
    Siobhan-What?!?!, well its true, we dont want people to start talking then thinking that we hang out with her.
    Meg-Lets just find out more info on THAT girl.Then we will see what happens. Okay?
    Emily&Siobhan- okayy

  9. I am Meg from the Marthas.

    I am really shocked on how Heather decorated the it was great! But who was she with? Why here? she is so lame. Heather said it was her first friend to make her feel at home.I guess she was rying to be nice..... or they are really good frineds and she is trying to cover it up. I don't know. I'll wait a little be for i jump to conclusion. I don't want to ruin my reputation because I was wrong. I'm not going to let a stupid girl ruin my life. Heather is in the Marthas for now.

    I'm glad I have Melinda. I think I can trust her. She helps me whenever I have an issue, like when I had to decorate that teacher's lounge. That had to be an attempt to get me out of the Marthas. Well, if it wasn't for her, I probably wouldn't be in the Marthas anymore. Melinda doesn't seem like she has many friends. I wonder why. Well I'm glad that shes there to talk to me.

  11. Heather:

    Oh my gosh!!!! I am so glad that Melinda and I could be friends. But sometimes Melinda coudl be a bit of a downer. Yea that's the word downer. I mean she always walks around like the world owes her something, she sits there hating everything, and every time somebody says something about her behind her back she just walks away like nothing happend. I would say something to that person!!!!! But I still LOVE YOU MELLIE VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am so glad I made some new friends!! I think they gave me a hard task to complate because they dont weant me in their group, but well i guess they will let me in their group!! I better not be stuck with just melinda shes so negative all the time shes starting to bring me down :( I mean hopefull i got through to her when i was PMSING at her the other day but who knows?? and i wonder what that whole bleacher thing was about with the girl behind her oh well it was probrably nothing but except for that the prep rally was SOOOO much fun omg the cheerleaders are amazing maybe i could be one better yet maybe i could be in the play by the time im a sophmore!

    Melinda's dad:

    I wonder how my little girls grades dropped so drastically. her mother said she would handle it but she im kind of worried it feels like she just locks herself in her room and sulks all the time. i do hope she is not like that at school! her mother better talk some sense into her i payed a lot of money for that bike last year and all that effort she but into math last year better not go down the toilet!!

  13. Oh my gosh. Melinda why are you such a downer all you do is sit around and don't care about anything! Melinda is a good kid, but sometimes she can drive me crazy. She may listen good but she gives me no help at all.
    And it is impossible to find friends in high school it is either getting pushed around in the hall or up with the cheerleaders. I just want a friend who can listen AND talk to me all the time.

    What has happened to my poor little girl? She is so talented and full of so much potential but she is not using it at all! I don't know what to tell her anymore! She would usually do things right on her own! She can do so much better in school than she is now! She is going to be in some trouble if things don't change very soon...

  15. Rachel: Wow. The things I do to be nice. Melinda is completely out of it. In math clas today, she froze up like an idiot. I tried to help her a little, but she still had that glossed over look on her face. Is she on drugs?! At first I thought she was just a freak, but now I feel sorry for her. She is a hot mess. But, she isn't my problem anymore. I have way cooler friends now!

    Heather: Yay! I am SO in with the Marthas! Mellie helped me decorate, and it turned out wonderful. Everybody was so impressed, but the Marthas gave me a weird look when they saw me with Mellie. Why does everybody think shes so weird? She is a great listener, even if shes a little negative and doesn't say much. If it gets too bad, I may need to find a new friend, even is she has been a dear. Oh well! We will get there when we get there...

  16. Mr. Stetman (Algebra teacher)-
    I was teaching freshman Algebra today, and that Melinda Sordino girl comes in, with 10 minutes left in class. She had a late pass, but I'm not sure about it. It didn't looked like any of the office ladies writings, so I'm a little suspicious about it. I think she is going to be one of the girls to watch out for, because she may be trouble.

    Ms. Keen (Science teacher)-
    Ok, I don't think my students appreciate me enough. I mean, I am very smart in science, and I could have gone far. However, I stayed back to be a teacher. So these kids should show a little more respect. The day I wore that purple dress, everyone was like making fun of it. I got that dress for my very first date, and I thought it was so pretty. I guess high school students have a different opinion in fashion, and by different, i mean worse, opinion than me.

  17. Heather:
    I am sooo happy that me and Melinda are so close as friends. She doesnt make fun of me, she is ALWAYS listening to me. I could talk for hours and she wont say anything because she is such a good listener. I want Melinda to like become one of us in the Marthas. I just dont think that the girls like her. No one really likes her, i dont know why but it is kind of rude. Anyway this is like so exciting for me to be in a club now.. I have never been to Melinda's house, i have never met her parents. Maybe thats why shes so like lazy and mad all the time. Her parents might be like crazy or something..
    I talk a little to much about things

  20. HEATHER: I am so excited, I joined a "group"! Everyone calls them the Marthas 'cause of Martha Stewart, but I call them AMAZING!!!! They are so helpful and nice to everyone! I don't know why Melinda doesn't want to join us, she doesn't want to be with anybody, except me of course. Oh well, maybe just some Freshman shyness. *Ding* Ooooooo, my cookies are ready! Snickerdoodles!

    Heather: "I found a group to join at school! I am sooooo totally excited, but Melinda I don't think feels the same.:( To be in the group I had to decorate the teachers lounge and Melinda helped me but she didn't seem that into it. Not to be mean or anything but she wasn't very good at it either. When she left the room so the Marthas, my new group" could judge what I did they were all saying she was weird. I couldn't tell if she heard it or not, but I think she did because she didn't ride home on the bus with me that day. I feel really bad."

    Melinda is becoming a person I don't want her to be. Her grades are slipping. She doesn't have any friends. She's not in any sports or clubs. She doesn't do anything...... I'm getting worried.
