    WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4

    OMG! MY BIRTHDAY PARTY IS


    BEYOND AWESOME!
    SQUEEEE §!
    Just imagine a FABULOUS and FUN bash at
    the Westchester Country Club with a band, DJ,
    all-you-can-eat pizza, ice-cream sundae bar, two
    hundred of my closest friends, my loyal BFFs, my
    adorkable CRUSH, and a humongous birthday cake.

    Everything is SO unbelievably PERFECT, I need


    to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming.
    OUCH!! That hurt! (I just pinched myself!)
    The GOOD NEWS is that not even my mortal
    FRENEMY, MacKenzie Hollister, can RUIN the
    most AMAZING day of my entire life §!

    The BAD NEWS is that I was totally WRONG


    about the GOOD NEWS ¶! . . .

    1
    ANDRÉ
    MY BFFS,
    CHLOE & ZOEY

    2
    MY CRUSH,
    BRANDON
    MACKENZIE MY LIFE IS
    PERFECT!

    ME

    3
    ?! OMG!!

    4
    HERE, NIKKI!
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! WHOA!! ?!

    *PUSH!*

    5
    MACKENZIE!
    STOP IT!

    6
    OOPS! SORRY NIKKI?!
    I’M NOT SORRY!

    *SPLAT!*

    7
    THIS IS NOT
    HAPPENING!! MACKENZIE!!
    HAVE SOME PUNCH!!

    8
    NIKKI! ARE
    YOU OKAY?!
    *GULP!*

    ?!

    9
    OOPS!!
    POOR
    NIKKI!

    10
    ?! ?!

    *DUCK!*

    11
    My wonderful birthday party had turned into a
    complete CATASTROPHE! It was AWFUL! Thank
    goodness the entire thing was just a . . .

    NOOO OOO!!

    HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE ¶!!

    12
    OMG! That dream felt SO real! I woke up
    FRANTIC in a cold sweat.

    And now just the thought of having a party is


    totally FREAKING ME OUT.

    I’m obviously suffering from a very serious and


    debilitating medical condition called CBPP, or
    CRUDDY BIRTHDAY PARTY PHOBIA.

    It’s an irrational fear of birthday party disasters.

    I think I first contracted this illness on my fifth


    birthday. I had invited my ENTIRE kindergarten
    class to my party, and my dad dressed up as
    a clown.

    He was HILARIOUS!

    Until he was lighting the candles on my birthday


    cake and somehow accidentally set the seat of his
    baggy clown pants on fire.

    Don’t ask me HOW!

    13
    At first Dad panicked and ran around the room
    shouting, “FIRE! FIRE!”

    Then he quickly put it out by SITTING in a huge


    bowl of fruit punch! . . .

    *SPLASH!*

    MY DAD, THE CLOWN, GETTING PUNCH!

    14
    All the kids laughed and cheered because they
    thought it was all part of his very funny clown
    act. But I was SO upset, I couldn’t eat any of my
    birthday cake.

    To this day, I have an extreme FEAR of clowns.


    Luckily, not ALL of them. Just SCREAMING
    CLOWNS with their BUTTS on FIRE!

    I’m VERY serious! They practically scare the SNOT


    out of me.

    DON’T LAUGH! It’s NOT funny ¶!

    Okay, maybe it IS kind of funny §.

    But STILL!

    Anyway, my birthday is on Saturday, June 28, and


    my BFFs, Chloe and Zoey, are BEGGING me to
    throw a big birthday party.

    They’re so excited about it that they’re coming over


    tomorrow to help me plan everything.

    15
    Unfortunately, Chloe and Zoey are going to be
    SUPERdisappointed when I break the bad news
    that I’ve changed my mind. That scary dream has
    me worried that if even the TINIEST thing goes
    wrong, my birthday could turn into a complete
    DISASTER.

    Hey, I’d LOVE to be the pretty and popular


    PARTY PRINCESS.

    But come on! WHO am I kidding?!

    MY life is NOT a fairy tale.

    And I am NOT Cinderella.

    Sorry! But if I dramatically dashed out of the


    royal ball at midnight in a glamorous, enchanted
    gown and lost my beautiful glass slipper, I’d step
    right in a pile of DOG POOP!
