    Nikki is struggling with ice skating and is feeling frustrated and humiliated. She fell multiple times and had trouble even standing up on the ice.

    Nikki is feeling very frustrated and embarrassed about her ice skating skills. She fell multiple times and had trouble even standing up on the ice during her first practice.

    MacKenzie is being mean to Nikki and trying to embarrass her. She made a comment about getting Nikki crutches to mock her wobbly skating.

    MONDAY, DECEMBER 16 Right now Im SO frustrated I could just . . .

    SCREAM !!

    Today was my first day of ice skating at the high school arena during gym class, and it was a complete DISASTER! Just standing up on the ice was, like, ten times harder than I thought it was going to be. WHY, WHY, WHY did I ever agree to do this stupid Holiday on Ice show?! I must have been temporarily INSANE. And it didnt help matters that MacKenzie was FUMING over the fact that Chloe, Zoey and I were skating for Fuzzy Friends, and not HER. As usual, that girl went out of her way to make my life MISERABLE. . . 124

    HEY, NIKKI! YOURE LOOKING A LITTLE WOBBLY OUT THERE ON THE ICE. CAN I GET YOU A PAIR OF CRUTCHES?

    I cant believe MacKenzie actually said that right to my face like that. 125
    Dork Diaries 4 CS5.5.indd 125 12/04/2012 15:42

    The entire class heard it too. It seemed like everyone was snickering about me behind my back. OMG! I was beyond HUMILIATED! We were SUPPOSED to be practising our Holiday on Ice skating routine during gym class. But NOOOO! I didnt practise at all. WHY?!!

    BECAUSE IM SO HORRIBLY CRUDDY AT ICE SKATING, I COULDNT EVEN STAND UP! THATS WHY!!
    Chloe and Zoey even held both my hands like I was a clumsy little toddler taking my first steps. But I STILL fell down! 126

    The ONLY thing I could do really well was a move that required superwobbly legs.

    ?!

    OMG! IS SHE OUT ON THE ICE DOING THAT DANCE CALLED THE STANKY LEG?!

    ME

    Well, Im really sorry to disappoint those snobby CCPs! But any dance I was doing was PURELY accidental. Chloe and Zoey told me to chillax and be patient because it might take three or four weeks of practising before I could even skate around the rink by myself. But our ice show is in only TWO WEEKS!! Girlfriends, do the MATHS!! Zoey suggested that I read her book Figure Skating for Dummies . And Chloe offered to loan me her novel The Ice Princess . But personally, I dont think books are going to help me much. The only TWO things I really NEED right now are: One of those walker thingies that really old people 128

    use, because six legs on the ice are better than just two. . .

    And a really soft pillow because I now have a dozen bruises from falling on my behind, and Im NOT going to be able to sit down for a week. . . 129

    Unfortunately, well be practising our ice-skating routine in gym class for the rest of the week. And then on December 26, 27 and 30, we have three special practice sessions for the December 31 show. 130

    I dont mean to be all doom-n-gloom, but this ice-skating stuff is turning into a total NIGHTMARE!

    AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
    That was me screaming in frustration.

    AGAIN!

    But I have to remain calm and stay focussed. I cant afford to fail. Because if I do, Brandon will be forced to move, and hes had enough trauma in his life. OMG! WHAT have I got myself into??!
