prom 23-41

So the math teacher did still the money. The principal had all the seniors meet in the auditorium for a meeting on how to get around the loss of money and other ways to have prom. After that all the kids that had detention had to stay back, which was Ashley! Once she got out she called her sad friend Natalie but she got no answer. Ashley boyfriend TJ picked her up and took her to work. She was a rat at CHEEZ-E. The job wasn't going to great. She has 3 brothers named billy (4), Steven (10), and Shawn (12). She also has a dog named mutt that was death and had only 3 legs. Her mom was pregnant with another child on the way and a bus driver while her father was a taxi driver. The good news is her boyfriend got a job. Bad news is natalie isnt home yet and her grandma is swimming in a pool.

prom 1-23

On this new book i am reading its very interesting. Its starts off with a a normal girl that was now a senior. She goes with this guy named TJ Barnes. He seems like a real jerk! He asks her for money so they can skip and go eat breakfast at burger king. She is hesitant about it, so he persuades her to go but right before she does he gets a call.He turns around she follows him until he gives her a mean frown and waves her away. She leaves to school instead of leaving to eat with him. Ashley explains how her old principal died and how the school made a complete 360 in the way things were (good). Nat and Lauren are her good friends. Natalia Shulmensky (nat) was so excited about prom and what to wear until one day something happened. Miss Crane the math teacher stole the prom money! no more prom! Ashley didnt mind but to the other girls it meant alot and they were devastated.

speak: summary

I finally read the book. The book was very interesting and was good from the beginning but became more detailed and understandable towards the end. The main character Melinda starts out with a few close friends that she had in middle school but they fall apart and she is hated by them all. The high school party they got into thanks to Rachel black mailing her brother. Melinda becomes drunk from drinking so many beers and the "it" named Andy Evans rapes her. Her first thought was to call the cops! Everybody called her the snitch and other names. She has no friends starting high school at Merryweather and nobody payed her any attention unless she was being made fun of. She goes through losing friends, staying silent, and skipping school to being strong, telling someone that she was raped, and finally using the mouth/voice god gave her. The nasty dirty boy Andy Evans tried it again and this time she saved her self by parting her lips and screaming for help. She overcame the weak silent Melinda and became the brave starting new Melinda!

      As she becomes more used to the school, she begins to open up a little bit but she is so paranoid. I can tell her favorite class is art but she has no idea what to do with a tree yet. Every time she tries it ends up looking dead or like something that a 8 year old could do. Another class she seems to enjoy is biology ... slicing apples and dissecting frogs. She passed out when she dissected the frog and went to the nurse though. Her other classes seemed like a drag but this one boy named David Petrakis was very smart and stood for what he believed in. In Mr. Necks class he argues with him over citizenship and the right for open and got to the point were he sewed the school and had a camera and a recorder in that class.Meanwhile her friend Heather is in this new group called the Martha's in which they do good for holidays and food drives and etc. They also dress alike in style. since heather is new in the group she does a lot of the work and gets no  credit. Heather just wants to fit in and she always ask for Melinda to help with decorations and stuff. One day she was hanging a poster up that she had drew and "IT" appears. who is "IT" ? boy? girl? Its a boy a very hot boy but why does she throw up when he is around ? I know its not because she is nervous it seems like she is filled with discuss. His name is Andy Evans.!
