January
Greg says how he wanted to keep a journal when he was much younger,because he thinks that whoever will write his bio will have a lot of questions about his childhood,Greg says luckily he remembers them all and says he even knew about things that happened before he was born,he was in a dark space swimming around,doing backflips and taking naps whenever he wanted,then his Mom would wake him out of his nap by turning on classical music,because she thinks it might make Greg genius when he is born and she would tell Greg about her day and would make frank also tell Greg about his day at work and she would also read out to Greg for a half-hour till she went to sleep,Greg could listen everything thing she says,even if he didn't wanted to and whenever his parents kiss he kicks and the kiss again make it worser for Greg.

Then a few months later Greg was born and when he was in delivery room he was in a very lousy mood yelling and crying and wanted to tell the doctor to put him back,Greg still tries to recreate that feeling by adding bubble bath in the tub and folding his eyes.

Greg used to think he was the only child untill he met Rodrick,this dissappointed him,back then his family used to live in a small apartment so Rodrick had to sleep on the crib,while Greg in the dresser drawer,but then his Dad moved away and he got the crib and Rodrick got a bed.

Greg says how everything that time was hand me down from Rodrick and it would be worned out and toren. When his Mom says she is having another Baby Greg told me Manny that the upstairs bathroom is Greg's.Greg says how he is paranoid that Manny's ubetical cord might come in his food or some other place because his cord was never seen when it was dried up. Greg's Mom would get him educational videos to watch,but Greg changed the channels and removed the batteries from the remote and hid them inside his crib,making his mom not know why the remote isn't working,but his Mom did found out that. Because Susan didn't make Greg crawl on the floor more,all the kids in his playgroups could walk and run,but he was still trying to get his first step done.Then his mom bought him Baby Adventures Action Walker which had a cup holder and many toys sticking on it and even had music coming out of it,that made other kids feel jealous,but his Mom read that Baby Walker are bad and don't make kids grow the bones to walk correctly so she returned it.When Greg learned to walk,he was already in Pre-School and the kids could take of buttons and zips while Greg needed help from grown up to do that,Greg thought of slowing them down by feeding them bad knowledge,but his teacher thought he isn't learning shapes correctly so she called his Mom and she made Greg skip a grade,straight to kindergarten,but that decesion turned out to be disaster as kids could do many things Greg can't do so he got scared and started hiding and the teacher had to call his Mom,so his mom made him go back to Pre-School.

Greg talks about the show "The Snurples" and how it has it own language that little kids like Manny would understand and how Manny talked to everybody in that language.

Greg says how Manny locks himself up in Sweetie's old excersise pen to keep his toys to himself and a kid who terrotized Manny into beleving he was a Vampire,Greg says he feels bad for Manny and how he had a scary kid called Bradley in pre-school who terrorized every chance he got and how Mom wrote a book about him and right before it was published his family moved in again,Mom read the stories to Manny,it made Manny scared of other Kids.

Greg talks how Manny has Imaginary friends called Joey,Petey,Danny,Charles Tribble,The Other Charles Tribble and Johnny Cheddar and how he uses them to escape from uncomfortable situations like when he broke the plate he told Johnny broke it and he used Danny to get extra dessert.

Greg talks about Corny's Family-Style Resturant and how they have a rule of not wearing ties and how they cut his dad's off and how the kid area is a total disaster and it even has bathroom doors near the tables and they're always swinging open and how kids mess up with Ice-Cream dispenser.

Mom makes Manny go into the ball pit so he interacts with other kids,but he just hids himself until its time to go and Greg tells how Manny once got stuck in a tube and when Greg found Manny he also got scared and they had to have a waiter come and save them,this caused Greg's favorite jeans to get dirty and even though washing them with bleach three times the stains won't go.

This made Greg wear trousers that are three-inches short for him on the Ball-Room Dancing Unit's patner selection.

Greg says how his Mom ruined his time table of the year by three-hours the story went:Mom wanted Manny to feel what its like in midnight without making him stay up late night,so she turned all the clocks three hours ahead and made Frank count with Manny,Greg thinks it is really new year and does countdown with them and sleeps at 10:30pm thinking its 1:30am.

Greg was doing his chores in the morning and heard a knock at the door,it was his Uncle Gary and he had borrowed Money from Frank to buy "Boston" shirts from a guy at boston,but they had a typo saying "Botson",but he still didn't want to give up selling them and He,Frank and Greg spent the whole morning putting the shirts in the garage and he sold one to Rodrick for three bucks. Living with Gary wasn't easy for the Heffley's,one of his nightmares made Manny move his bed away from the walls thinking there are Monkeys inside them and he used up all of Greg's Bubble Bath and whenever Rodrick gets kicked out of Bed on 8:00,he doesn't has his place on the couch so he has to sleep on the top of the couch and Greg explains how Gary has been trying to get a job but quits them.

Greg says how his Dad to him to "Bring Your Child to Work Day" at his office last year and how adults tried to keep the kids entertained and towards the end of the day Dad took Greg into his office,then he got distracted and give Greg a dollar to buy anything from the vending machine,but he got a box of jawbreakers then his father told to go out of the room,so Greg went to the bathroom but luckily a janitor found him other wise he would have stayed the whole night their.

Greg says how he wrote down Baylee Anthony's name as his dance patner a year ago,but baylee didn't write Greg's names and wrote down Bryce Anderson's,but Bryce got paired up with some other girl called McKenzie Pollard and Baylee got Greg because he picked her but she kept complaining she didn't want Greg,so she didn't wanted a repeat of that last year thing so she went around the room and told all the boys she didn't wanted to get paired up with not write her name.

Greg tells that he will be fine if gets paired up with anyone except for Ruby Bird,who is a girl who has only one front tooth because she bit Mr. Underwood's arms and it got stuck there and she is the only girl to be suspended,so Greg writes a note saying "Don't Pair me Up With Ruby Bird" and send it to the teacher.

Ruby Bird ended up getting paired up with Fregley and Greg says that they're made for each other and then he and four other guys didn't get a partner,but they realized that they don't have to do ballroom dancing unit and could play throwball for three weeks,but Mrs Moretta made the boys dance with each other,so Greg was dancing waltz with Carlos Escalera.

They got a hyptonist called Amazing Andrew for the general assembly and he hyptonized a line of eighth-graders into thinking their arms with superglued and he would say "Cucumber!"to make them unlink,a couple of guys who thought he is a fraud tried it,and they got superglued together and weren't able to unlink,so a teacher had to track amazing Andrew's job and go their and make him unhyptonize them.

They got a guy called Strong Steve last year and said they should stay away from drugs and ripped a phone-book with his bare-hands,kids got so crazy after him that they ripped half of the reffrences books in the libary and they had to get replaced,and Greg says how he doesn't wants school to bring in the singer called Kristinna who calls herself a international pop star,but she has never been out of the state and her lyrics are positive.

A police officer came to the school and told everyone about being a "narc" which was basically a job posing as a highschool student to catch the teens that were doing bad things,Greg thinks it is an awesome job and he and Rowley start their own dectective agent,their first case was Greg told Rowley to go and make Scotty Douglas give back Greg's game,but Greg caught Rowley red-handed playing his video game with Scotty so he fired Rowley and shut down the agency.

There was a general assembly and Mr.Roy told everyone that student council selections are being done,Greg wanted to run,but people with three or more detentions were not allowed,because Greg picked up his third one last week after selling a fake special pass for a secret elevator to a new middle schooler,but he got busted by the vice principlay roy,this pass was given to Greg on his first day of middle school by a eighth grader and the secret elevator turned out to be the janitor's room.

Greg then realized,Rowley never got a detention,so he thought he will guide Rowley to what to do if gets elected and another bonus for Greg is he will never miss a recess,so he became Rowley's campaign manager,but then Rowley registered for "Social Chairperson" and Greg didn't know what that means,but he let Rowley take that.

Some kids were giving out candies,buttons and posting posters and Greg comes up with a idea of  Getting Rowley elected by getting some of Uncle Gary's shirts and writing on them letters that will spell out "VOTE FOR ROWLEY JEFFERSON AS SOCIAL CHAIRPERSON" and he would give them a piece of bubble gum if they wore it,it got hard for Greg to make them stand in the right order,then he found that only canidates running for president will give speech,the first candidate was Sydney Greene who is straight A student and never missed a day at school,she said she'll get better equipment for music room and will put protective covers on the books from library,next was Bryan Buttsy when he went to the stage,everybody started making fart noises and made fun of his sername.

Then Eugune Ellis came and he was the only canidiate who didn't post posters or hand out lollipops or anything,so everybody thought of not taking him seriousley,but then he said that he will improve the toilet paper quality by getting expensive quilted one,then everybody relaized the problems with toilet paper and elected him

In the first day of student council,the council teacher Mrs Birch told eugune its to expensive to stuff all kid bathroom with quilted kind of toilet paper,so the teacher had a fundraiser,in Greg's last fundraiser he forget sell the candies and ate about fifteen making his mom write cheques to pay back the school.

Uncle Gary spend all his money earned into a bunch of scatch cards,then Frank told him he has a better chance of getting struck by lightning then winning these scratch cards,this made Manny scared and he wouldn't step out of the house if its raining,Greg also explains how his Dad hates scratch cards,Some years ago at christmas,Frank bought a nice winter jacket for christmas,but Gary gave him a scratch card,Frank was dissappointed,but when he started scratching the cards he scratched three cherries and won a hundred thousand dollars but he found it was a fake gag gift.

Gary spends time playing a online virtual-world game,where your can be anything,but in the game Gary's character is a guy who doesn't have a job and buys a bunch of scratch cards everyday.

February
A few days ago at the student council meeting, the treasurer Javan Hill went to use the bathroom,but then he came out with a a pillow-soft ultra toilet paper in teacher's bathroom,so the teachers made a rule everybody is allowed bring their own toilet papers to school,but they limited them to 5 because the kids got to many and had to carry them everywhere.

Greg had a stash of twenty and he wanted them to last for a year,so he went to a stall in bathroom and put some old shoes in there and it made it look like it was occupied,so kids stayed away from that.But one day Greg forgot to take one shoe of the ground,so it looked suspicious and the kids stole Greg's stash.

The Student council thought of making fund-raisers,vice president Hillary Pine said that they should do a car wash,Secretary Oliva Divas said that they should do a giant yard sale,Greg wanted to sell caramel popcorn so he said it throught walkie-talkie,but Rowley kept it on low volume,Eugene suggested a pro wrestling match in the game,Javan Hill made up a idea of a motocross stunt show,but they couldn't deicde which is better so they had a mixed wrestling-motocross event.

Hillary reported that the wrestling/motocross event morphed into a VALENTINE'S DAY dance,the other people wanted to change it but Mrs Birch said that they had to respect their decision,Rowley got invited to the Dance Commite because he's the social chairperson.

Many guys said that there is no way they're gonna pay three bucks for a dance in gmnasium,but it all changed when the first Candy Grams were handed out.

The Candy Grams are invatations to the Valentine's Day dance and you could get them for 25 cents.

Bryce Anderson got ones from five different girls after the first wave of Candy Grams got delivered those who didn't get,got jealous and they had a big rush at the Candy Grams at luch time,There are more boys then girls in Gregs class this year,so most of the guys are nervous that they will be left behind without a patner,at lunch guys used to take spoonfuls of mashed potatoes and flick them up at the ceiling to try getting them stuck,they all stopped it because if they wanted a date,they had to behave their best.

When there aren't Girls around,the guys start doing their pranks and things.

Greg's class were in middle of basketball unit,a kid named Anthony Renfrew pantsed Daniel Revis when he was shooting free throws,everybody except for Daniel laughed,Daniel got Anthony back when he was doing a layup,after that everybody started pantsing each other,nobody now stands because they are paranoid that they will get pantsed,Greg started wearing two pairs of shorts under his sweatpants for insurance.

Vice Principal Roy came to the gym and lectured the boys whoever pantse somebody else will be suspended,but right at that time the mad pantser pantsed Vice Principal Roy,people started calling that kid "Mad Pantser".

Almost everybody in Greg's class got one and Travis Hickey who can eat a crust of pizza out of a trash can,even got one.

Greg thought of getting advice from Gary,because he has been married four times and is expert in relationships,he told Greg to buy a bunch of Candy Grams and have them all deliver to him making Girls think he was a hot property.

Greg used his 2$ lunch money to buy many Candy Grams and they all delivered to him.

By now Greg had blown over five dollars and then he realized he is gonna starve to death if he keeps buying them,so he bought one and sent it to Adrianne and he also wrote "If answer is no,please hand this to Julia Barros".

When Greg walked into his class Adrianne and Julia both were giving him dirty looks,assuming that its no from both of them,Greg figured out that Candy Grams isn't the only way to ask,so he wrote a note for Leighaan Marlow and put it inside her desk,but he forget that after school detention was in same room as history,so his card was scribbled by some other kid,but then Leighann did answer back and said she is not intrested in going to dance with Greg.

Greg gets really nervous that there aren't much girls left to choose,so he thought of going with Erika Hernandez who broke up with her boyfriend,Jamar Law who is famous in the school for getting his head stuck in a chair,but Greg thinks if he get good with her,the story about her ex-boyfriend will always be in his mind and he can't get past that.

Greg drew a chart about kids in his school to see who dates who and who hates who,but his version is incomplete,Greg says he worries about Evan Whitehead,he bragged that he has kissed many girls in Greg's grade,but last week he got chicken pox and went home so Greg wanted to know how many girls he infected.

Gary told me that if Greg wanted a girl to go with he had to ask her face to face,he thought of going with Peyton Ellis,a girl who Greg has a crush on,he saw her near the water fountain,so he stood their patiently and waited for her to drink,but she realized Greg was gonna ask her to go with him to the dance,so she kept on drinking until the bell was over and they had to go to the classrooms.

Greg thought of getting his science lab patner Bethany Breen,but Greg haven't made a good impression on her because he makes her do the dissecting of the frogs and do the writing part while Greg tries not to vomit,Greg thinks he has been a pretty hilarious patner,so he walked up to Bethany when she was getting her coat out of the locker,Greg was nervous talking to her even though he spends 45 minutes everyday with her as lab patners,but the frog things made him nervous.

Uncle Gary told Greg to get a wingman,so he asked Rowley,Greg explained him the concept so Rowley said maybe they could be each other's wingman's,but Greg said we should do it for a person at a time,Rowley didn't did it well by saying things like "I heard Greg Heffley has really strong muscles.".

Rowley told Greg that Alyssa Grove told the Dance Committee that she broke up with her boyfriend and need a date to the dance,Alyssa is one of the most popular girls in Greg's grade,so he thought of getting her before anyone else does.

Greg called Alyssa's number,Greg thought of sending her a message,but Rowley was in his room and he made Greg laugh by making funny faces and runied his messages,so Greg and Rowley started goofing around with it and when they had recorded 20 messages he deleted them all.

But at Dinner that night Alyssa's father came and told Frank that Greg and Rowley have sent twenty prank messages to his machine.

Gary tells Greg he should update his wardrobe,because wearing a new shirt or shoes will make him more confident,but thing is Greg's 90% clothes are handme downs from Rodrick,so he asked his mom,but she said how kids in middle school are focused about there looks and all,so Greg started searching the house,he goes through Rodrick's wardrobe but he didn't had same taste in clothes as Greg,Gary told to check Frank's Wardrobe,Greg finds a black leather jacket and his dad lets him borrow it,but his Mom says he will lost it or damage it.

After taking a shower in the morning,Greg took the leather jacket and sneaked out of the house without his mom seeing him,while Greg was going to school he started shivering because that jacket wasn't a winter one,so Greg kept his hands inside the pockets to keep them warm,but he found something in both of the pockets,one had aviator sunglasses and other had picture strips which had picture of his parents kissing,that disgusted him,when he went to school everybody started seeing him,he got so much attention he kept it on even in the homeroom,but before the bell rang to start the day there was knock at the homeroom door,it was his Mom,his mom told him to return it,but she said it was to cold for him to go out without it,so she gave Greg her winter coat to wear.

Everybody heard about that and they started teasing Greg and laughing at him,so he thought of getting some girls from church to go with him,he heard that church students think public school students are tough,so he acts cool infront of church children if meets a friend there.

Recently his Mom became friends with Mrs Stringer at the church because they both worked on the autumn fair committee,the stringers have two children,one girl name Laurel and a boy around Manny's age,Weasley.

Greg's mom invited the whole stringers for dinner at the house,so Greg,Rodrick and Frank had to clean the house,they still had the christmas tree and it was hard to dismantle it,so they shoved it into the garage and there were diapers tape on all corners of the family room,that was from when Susan was making the house baby proof for Manny and Gary was sleeping so they covered him with a sheet and hoped nobody wanted to sit there.

Greg saw his opportunity,Laurel is same age as Greg and according to Greg is more pretty then most of his classmate girls,when the Stringers came,it turned out the kid who scared Manny,was Wea=sley Stringer,so Manny skipped Dinner and went to bed,Greg wanted the same to because his mom made a fancy dish to impress the guests,it was Mushroom chicken with asparagus on top and Greg didn't wanted to look unsophisicated infront of Laurel,Mrs.Stringer said that they can't find a relaible babysitter and Laurel is doing something with her friends,then Greg spoke up and said if they needed a babysitter they should hire him,Mrs Laurel seems impressed and asked him if he was free tommorow and he said he was.

His Mom dropped him at their house at 6:30,Mrs Laurel told Greg to put Wesley at bed by 8:00 and they will return at 9:00,to help himself to anything in the fridge and he could watch till they came home and that Laurel has gone,this dissapointed Greg because he wanted to talk to her about the dance,Greg asked Wesley if he wanted to play a board game,he said he wanted to ride his bike,Greg said its to cold outside to ride,Wesley said he wanted ride inside,but Greg said that would ruin the furniture and he might get hurt,but Wesley throw a huge tanturum and when he calmed down,he said to colour instead,So Greg asked him were his colouring stuff were he said there are at laundry room and when Greg went there,Wesley locked the door,Greg could hear many noises half a hour later,Greg pushed the subsitute fridge which was blocking some door,but he realized he has to catch off guard,so he jumped out of the window and tried to find a unlocked one that led to ground,he did find one and he landed head first in Laurel's room,he was tired and slept their,but the Stringers returned right at that momment and presumably fire him.

Greg got nervous after blowing his chances with Laurel and he still hadn't had a partner and thought he will have to spend the Valentine's day sitting inside the house and play video games,but Rowley said  that a Girl called Abigail Brown was upset during a meeting with the Dance Committee,her boyfriend Michael Sampson had a family obligation and now she also has a dress and nobody is going with her,so Greg decided to go with her as couples,but he decided he didn't know her good and he decided to go with her as a dancing group with Rowley,Rowley seemed happy with that,the only problem they had was a ride,So Greg knew Rowley's dad has a nice car so he took him as a driver.

He told Gary about the dance,Gary got excited and he asked how many people are gonna be their and if they have hired a DJ,Greg said he didn't know and he told Greg to wear a suit.

Greg found a suit in Rodrick's closet and he couldn't find any cologne their,but he found a bottle of spray that they're advertising on TV that it attracts a lot of Girls,so Greg thought the night could be a nightmare if he wears it,so he sprayed on his Great Uncle Bruce's cologne thinking it was safer and he bought some chocolates for Abigail,but Greg already had ate the buttercreams,peanut clusters and caramels,so he hopes Abigail likes coconut and toothpaste tasting likes.

Greg went over to Rowley's house and he noticed he had some bumps on his face,then he realized he had chicken pox,so he got a mirror and showed that he has chicken pox,Rowley freaked out,then Greg put his Rowley's Mom's make up,it hid them but anybody could say Rowley has put makeup so he gave him a scarf and noticed some at his forehead so he gave him a beach hat and made him wear socks in his hands,Greg sees a booster seat and asks Rowley why is it still their,Rowley said he never took it off and still uses it,then when they got near Abigail's house,Greg asked Mr.Jefferson to honk the horn to make Abigail know they are there,but he said thats no way to treat a lady and said one of them had to escort her,Rowley was going but Greg stopped him and went instead,Mr.Brown opened the door and told Greg to sit and told him Abigail was getting ready,it took Abigail a long time and Greg thought of bailing out,but right that momment she came down,so when they got to the car,abigail was wearing a very poofy dress so Greg thought there was no way he was sitting in Rowley's booster seat,so he volunteered to ride on the front seat,but Mr.Jefferson had paper there,so Greg sat in the back.

Abigail thought Rowley was sitting on the booster seat as a joke,Greg asked Mr.Jefferson to put on radio,but he turned on his portfolio because Greg called him a "Driver",Rowley and Abigail got into a conversation,but Greg couldn't hear a single word.

Then Mr.Jefferson stopped to get his vaccum and he put it in the back,so when Greg got out of the car he had these black spoltches every where,Greg didn't wanted to look like a slob,so he left his suit jacket,but when he got in Spriggo's,which is a fancy resturant,the host told Greg that there was a dressing code that every male had to wear sport jackets,so he gave Greg a subsitute one,when Greg sat down to order he smelled a very smelly smell,he found out that it was coming from that jacket,so he went to the bathroom and cleaned it and heated it,but the heated active BO and it spread,so he told Abigail and Rowley that place is for phone and they took off,the only resturant in that area was Corny's and they were forced to go there.

They cut Rowley's tie before Greg had a chance to warn him,since they didn't have any little kid around,they got seated in adults section,they got seated next to a family with crazy kids because they seperate adults and children sections with a glass,so Greg asked the waiter if they could move,there new seat wasn't good because they could see two parents changing diaper of there baby so they got a couple of menus to block the view.

Then the waiteress got them corn chips and whenever Rowley wanted one,Greg would pass it with a straw,then Rowley started saying how in Summer his family rented a beach house and why they would never rent it again,then to impress Abigail,Greg said he will pay for the dinner,Greg had done many chores to get money to impress Abigail.

Then when the waiter came back,Abigail ordered two appetizers and Rowley also ordered the same,when he said that a molecule of his spet fell on Greg's lip and he wiped it on Abigail's dress when she wasn't looking,then when the waiter came for main course Greg ordered a plain hamburger to save money,Abigail ordered the most be expensive item on the menu called T-Bone steak,Rowley ordered the same,even though Greg signalled him to order something cheaper.

When the food came Greg's hamburger had lettuce and tomato,so he told the waiteress that he ordered a plain,then the waiteress took out a napkin from the middle of their table and wiped lettuce and tomato with it,this made Greg lose his appeite,but Greg still wouldn't have eat because they have a picture that Greg can stand.

Then after that Abigail and Rowley odered desserts,Greg told the waiteress that its Rowley birthday as a excuse get Rowley an free cake,but Abigail still ordered her chocolate cheescake she only ate two pieces of,then when the bill came Greg payed all his money and even had to use his emergency $5,but it was wet so the waiteress didn't except it,so Greg had to draw it from Rowley's Dad.

Mr.Jefferson hugged Rowley it looked wierd to Abigail.

The Theme of dance was "Midnight in Paris" and it was made to look like a street in france and it had long table with punch and snacks and even had strawberries to dip in a chocolate fountain,Greg was pretty impressed with it.

Then Abigail and Greg took a couple picture in the backdrop of Paris,but Rowley popped into the photo too.

Greg saw that Uncle Gary got the job as a DJ and he also sold his Boston shirt,the dark didn't make the kids get that they're being ripped off,Abigail was standing with Greg for a few minutes then went away,then he saw her with her friends,then they went into the girls bathroom together,so Greg went to the boys bathroom to listen to their gossips,but the people were making noise,when it got quiet the girl already went away and Greg spotted them near the punch,just then at 7:50 Gary turned up the music and then some senior citizens came in.

The teachers told them they booked it two weeks ago for a dance,but the Senior Citizens said that they booked it two months ago and even had paperwork for proof,then some of the Dance Committee girl got into the conversastion and a fight was about to start,but then one of teachers,Mrs Sheer said the seniors can have their meeting on the other side and kids could dance the other side,everybody was fine with and then the janitor came to put partition.

The Seniors wanted light for their meeting so they turned on the lights,but the switch of the gym turned the whole lights on,just then some kid who bought Uncle Gary's shirts said they've been ripped of,but Gary tried to distract them by turning music on and many people started dancing.

The Girls dance in a the middle of the gym in a big group,and the guy were trying break them but they were getting blocked,One of the seniors came to their side and said to turn the music down,so Gary turned it down by around 80% and everybody could hear what the seniors were saying.

That didn't bother the girls,many took out personal music players and kept on dancing.

At the point the boys had enough of being in their best behavior in front of the girls so they totally cut loose,the teachers tried to stop them but it didn't stop them.

The mad pantser struck again and pantsed Rowley near the stairs,every latecomers were turning and going back,Michael came in holding hands with Cherie Bellanger,the family obligations was a lie and Abigail started to Cry and Greg and her friends tried to cheer her up.

Right about that time the senior centre meeting ended and they went to the dance side and ate all the refreshments,since there was nothing left for dipping in the chocolate fountain,they started sticking their finger at it,but one kid lost his contact lense,so Mrs Sheer had to shut it down to fish out his lense.

Just then Seniors also started dancing,Greg's Great Uncle Bruce cologne attracted some old ladies.

Just then Ruby Bird was coming to get Greg to Dance with her,but before that Greg took Abigail's hand and took her to the dance floor.

During their dance,Greg noticed that Abigail had some bumps,he thought they're chicken pox and screamed and they turned out to be pimples,just then the dance ended and when they were riding back,Abigail didn't talk to Greg,Rowley Escorted her to her house.

Alot happened since the dance,Greg got chicken pox,Uncle Gary won $40,000 Dollars with one of his scratch cards and payed Frank the money he had owed him and wished Greg in luck and moved away,Greg said he heard Rowley and Abigail are now couples and says that if thats true then Rowley is worse wingman in the history. Greg is glad he has the chicken pox because he can take long baths while nonbody is home.

Excerpts

 * I looked for a way to escape, but I was trapped. Luckily, Abigail walked out of the bathroom at that exact moment and I grabbed her hand just before Ruby got to me. Abigail's makeup was a mess from all of the crying, but I didn't really care. I was just happy to have an excuse to get away from Ruby. And to be honest with you, I think Abigail was happy to see me, too, so I led her to an empty spot on the dance floor.


 * I'd never slow-danced with a girl before, So I didn't know where I was supposed to put my hands. She put hers on my shoulder, and I put mine in my pockets, but that kind of felt dumb. So we met in the middle, and that seemed about right.


 * "And speaking of Rowley and Abigail, I heard that the two of them are a couple now. All I can say is if that's true, it makes Rowley 'the worst wingman in history.'" - Greg Heffley
 * Im supposed to stay home from school for at least a week. The good news is that with everyone out of the house, I can take a long bath without anyone bothering me.
 * Or at least I THINK I'm alone. Today I had a fresh towel next to the tub, and when I open my eyes it was gone. So either somebody's messing with me or Johnny Chedder is at it again.
 * Everything probably would've been just fine, but at lunch someone threw a roll of toilet paper at somebody else, and withing about fifteen seconds it was a total madhouse.
 * I couldn't find any cologne in Rodrick's junk drawer, but I DID find a bottle of that body spray they're always advertising on TV. I was a little nervous about using it, though, because if that stuff really works like they say in the ads then tomorrow night could be a nightmare.
