Free Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney Page B

me out like that, but then I realized something.
    In June, all the officers in the Safety Patrols go on a trip to Six Flags, and they get to take along one friend. I need to make sure Rowley knows I'm his guy.

    Tuesday

    Like I said before, the worst part of getting kicked off Safety Patrols is losing your hot chocolate privileges.
    Every morning, I go to the back door of the cafeteria so Rowley can hook me up.

    But either my friend has gone deaf or he's too busy kissing the other officers' butts to notice me at the window.

    In fact, now that I think of it, Rowley has been TOTALLY giving me the cold shoulder lately. And that's really lame, because if I recall correctly, HE'S the one that sold ME out.
    Even though Rowley has been a total jerk lately, I tried to break the ice with him today, anyway. But even THAT didn't seem to work.

    APRIL

    Friday

    Ever since the worm incident, Rowley has been hanging out with Collin Lee every day after school. What really stinks is that Collin is supposed to be MY backup friend.
    Those guys are acting totally ridiculous. Today, Rowley and Collin were wearing these matching T-shirts, and it made me just about want to vomit.

    After dinner tonight, I saw Rowley and Collin walking up the hill together, chumming it up.

    Collin had his overnight bag, so I knew they were going to do a sleepover at Rowley's.
    And I thought, Well, two can play at THAT game. The best way to get back at Rowley was to get a new best friend of my own. But unfortunately, the only person who came to mind right at that moment was Fregley.
    I went up to Fregley's with my overnight bag so Rowley could see I had other friend options, too.
    When I got there, Fregley was in his front yard stabbing a kite with a stick. That's when I started to think maybe this wasn't the best idea after all.

    But Rowley was in his front yard, and he was watching me. So I knew there was no turning back.
    I invited myself into Fregley's house. His mom said she was excited to see Fregley with a "playmate," which was a term I was not too enthusiastic about.

    Me and Fregley went upstairs to his room. Fregley tried to get me to play Twister with him, so I made sure I stayed ten feet away from him at all times.
    I decided that I should just pull the plug on this stupid idea and go home. But every time I looked out the window, Rowley and Collin were still in Rowley's front yard.

    I didn't want to leave until those guys went back inside. But things started to get out of hand with Fregley pretty quickly. When I was looking out the window, Fregley broke into my backpack and ate the whole bag of jelly beans I had in there.
    Fregley's one of these kids who's not supposed to eat any sugar, so two minutes later, he was bouncing off the walls.

    Fregley started acting like a total maniac, and he chased me all around his upstairs.
    I kept thinking he was going to come down off of his sugar high, but he didn't. Eventually, I locked myself in his bathroom to wait him out.

    Around 11:30, it got quiet out in the hallway. That's when Fregley slipped a piece of paper under the door.
    [Image: a cartoon showing a boy sitting alone.]
    I picked it up and read it.
