“I couldn’t believe it.

“What are we gonna do about this?” I said.

“I don’t know.” she said.

“What it we tried to convince everyone that Webkinz is awesome?” I said.

“I guess that might work.” She said.

The next day, in the hallway, Selena and I talked to kids and told them about Webkinz, but it was no good. Each kid said that either Webkinz sounded stupid, or they already know about it and said it was stupid.

“Man! What is wrong with these people?” I said.

“I don’t know. I just don’t know.” Selena said.

Then, Stuart, a guy I digged, came over to me.

“Wazzup?” he said.

“Oh nothing. JUST TRYING TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT WEBKINZ ISN’T STUPID.” I said.

“Ahh. Webkinz. Cool.” He said.

“Can you help us?” I said.

“I bet I can convince a couple suckers. How about we talk about this after school? By the pond, at four. Just you and me. No offence Selena.” He said.

“None taken.” Selena said.

“Yeah, sure.” I said.

“Cool. See you then.” He said.

He walked away.

“Hopefully things will get easier.” I winked at Selena.”

“So, Stuart helped you convince everyone?” Grandpa said.

“Well, not exactly, yet.” I said.

“Whazza wha?” Grandma said.

“There you go with gibberish again.” Grandpa said.

“What?” she said.

“So I met Stuart where and when.

“Well, how about I have my friend write an essay to the principal, explaining the educational stuff of Webkinz, and convince everyone they’re cool.” He said.

“Sounds cool. This will be great! Thanks!” I said.

We planned everything out. We knew what we were gonna do. Then…

Well, we look at eachother, said nothing, and leaned in. Then…”

“MY EARS! OK OK WE GET IT!” Jason said.

I laughed at him. Hey, what do you expect from someone his age?

“So, did the kiss go good?” Grandma said.

“Not exactly.” I said.

“Before our lips touch, right before, his dang cell phone went off. His friend texted him. He stopped to reply back to him.

“Who are you texting?” I asked.

“Umm, no one.” He said nervously.

“Nooo…you so are!” I said teasingly.

“Wait, Katrina, it’s nothing!” He said.

I snatched the phone from him, and I couldn’t believe my eyes.

His friend wrote:

‘wut teh heck r u doin tryin to convince evry1 that stupid webkinz iz gr8 when its not?’ (What the heck are you doing trying to convince everyone that stupid Webkinz is great when it’s not?)

He wrote back:

‘ik webkinz r stupid’ (I know Webkinz are stupid.)

You wanna know what I did? I took his cell phone, and threw it at him so it hit his little stupid noggin. He held his noggin in pain.

“I can’t believe you! I hate you!” I said as I walked away.

“But, Katrina!” he said.

“Shut up.” I said.

I don’t care if he was hurt physically or mentally. I hated him. He lied to me.”

“Someone got REJECTED!” Grandma said.

“I would have done the same exact thing.” Grandpa said.

“I still couldn’t believe him.” Selena said.

“Me neither.” I said.
