MONDAY, MARCH 10
Today everyone was really excited to be back at school after our weeklong spring break.
Some kids vacationed in Florida. But ME? I mostly just hung around the house and wrote in my diary. Hey, I was just happy I DIDN’T spend spring break in JAIL! I still can’t believe MacKenzie almost got all of us arrested like that!
I think her lip gloss addiction is FINALLY starting to affect her brain. Ever since that big fiasco at the Sweetheart Dance, that girl has been acting SUPERevil.
It wasn’t MY fault she ended up in that smelly Dumpster in her expensive designer dress. Okay, so maybe it WAS my fault. A little.
But STILL!! She TOTALLY deserved it!
This morning I was at my locker, minding my own business, when she smiled at me and said . . .
That girl HATES MY GUTS !
Calling MacKenzie a mean girl is an understatement. She’s a cobra with hoop earrings, blond hair extensions, and a spray-on tan.
I glared at her. “Well, MacKenzie, YOU’RE the expert on toilets! It’s only 8:00 a.m. and your BRAIN is completely CONSTIPATED while your MOUTH has a severe case of DIARRHEA! Please, go FLUSH!”
That’s when she narrowed her eyes and got all up in my face like a hot double-cheese, pepperoni pizza. “You don’t belong here, Maxwell! You’re just a pathetic little FAKE, and I’m going to expose the truth to the entire WORLD! So you better watch your back!”
Then she cackled like a witch and sashayed away. I just HATE it when MacKenzie sashays. But I didn’t have time to be worried about an immature, self-absorbed drama queen. I had a very important meeting with my director. . . .
“OKAY, NIKKI! WE’RE JUST GOING TO FOLLOW YOU AROUND SCHOOL TODAY.”
Well, EVERYONE in the ENTIRE school noticed my camera crew. And wherever I went, I was the center of attention.
The coolest thing was that everyone was SUPERnice to me, including the teachers. Probably because they wanted to make a really good impression on TV.
Of course, my BFFs and I were inseparable, as usual. I even asked them to be the costars of my show. We laughed, talked, and hung out like we always do.
For lunch, the director ordered burgers and cheese fries for us from Crazy Burger and sent her assistant to pick up the food!
And for dessert we had miniature gourmet cupcakes flown in from New York City from Baked by Melissa! OMG! They were SO yummy! I ate, like, sixteen of them.
But this is the crazy part! Kids were actually snapping pictures of me in the halls with their cell phones and asking me for my autograph during class.
I’m starting to feel like a REAL celebrity!
MacKenzie and the CCPs (Cute, Cool & Populars) are SO envious. They just stared at me and whispered. But I don’t care! They’re just mad because THEY’RE not the center of attention anymore.
I AM !! Jealous much?!
My director said we’ll be filming a total of eight episodes. And each one will be aired on TV a day or two after it’s filmed. How COOL is THAT?!!
I’m totally LOVING this TV show stuff!
NOTE TO SELF:
Don’t forget! Voice lesson TODAY with vocal coach from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. I can hardly wait!

NIKKI MAXWELL: THE MAKING OF A POP PRINCESS! EPISODE #1
TUESDAY, MARCH 11
My first voice lesson went really well yesterday! My teacher said I was a talented singer and a quick learner. SQUEEE!!! !
Anyway, I was watching the movie The Karate Kid last night and thought, WOW! I wish I could do THAT!
By “THAT,” I mean KARATE! Although the hero’s first KISS was one of my favorite scenes too ! I’d LOVE being the fierce, fabulous, and feisty karate chick every girl wants to be and every guy wants to be with. MacKenzie would NEVER mess with me again. And Brandon would totally ask me to be his girlfriend! Hey, he’d be scared to death NOT to, because I could punch his lights out! Just kidding !
Today the camera crew followed me to my gym class. Like the world needed to see me get slammed in the face (again!) playing dodgeball.
Anyway, as the old saying goes, “Be careful what you ask for, because you just might GET IT!”
Our teacher made a big announcement about our next activity. . . .
Then she gave everyone a karate uniform, called a gi. It came with a white belt since we were all beginners.
Chloe, Zoey, and I couldn’t wait to put them on. Of course we looked AWESOME! Like real, live . . . girls in, um . . . karate uniforms.
Chloe came up with the crazy idea that we should work SUPERhard in class and earn our black belts by the end of the month. Then we can start a secret crime-fighting team called the Dorky Defenders! She said that superheroes lead very romantic lives, when villains aren’t trying to KILL them. After hearing THAT little detail, I wasn’t exactly sold on the superhero lifestyle.
Having to deal with MacKenzie is quite enough drama, thank you. I don’t need any more villains sabotaging my life.
And speaking of sabotage, MacKenzie sashayed over and started HOGGING the camera. OMG! She looked like a HOT MESS!! . . .
She was dressed in a pastel pink gi that was trimmed with ruffles and blinged out with rhinestones! She had a matching monogrammed headband, pink platform shoes, and a shiny white leather belt.
It was quite obvious her nosy BFF, Jessica, who works in the office, had given her some inside information about our karate section in gym. And get this! She’d dusted her face and hands with pink shimmery glitter so she twinkled under the gym lights as she moved across the floor.
“K-I-A-I!” she screamed at the top of her lungs!
I was so startled by her sudden outburst that I peed my pants. Well, almost.
“What are you people staring at?” MacKenzie snarled. “Did you actually think I’d wear that hideous karate uniform? Not only is it three sizes too big, but the crotch of the pants hangs below your knees. Sorry! But you all are going to look like you’ve pooped your pants!”
“MacKenzie’s such a spoiled DIVA!” Zoey whisper-giggled. “Someone needs to YIN her YANG!”
“Can you say SPARKLY. PINK. DISASTER?!!” Chloe laughed so hard she was snorting.
“Okay, class, that’s enough! Please settle down!” our teacher scolded. “Our school has teamed up with a local karate school to add martial arts to our fitness program. So for the rest of the month, this class will be taught by an outside instructor who is an expert in the field. He’ll be joining us tomorrow. I expect everyone to be courteous, respectful, and on their best behavior at all times. Understood?”
The entire class nodded. Except MacKenzie. She was sitting with her eyes closed, in a deep, tranquil meditation. Or taking a little nap. Personally, I think she was just showing off for the camera. That girl is such a DRAMA QUEEN!
Anyway, I think I’m really going to enjoy my martial arts class. My new black belt will look really cute with my black leather boots. I mean, how hard could it be?!
