At social studies today, we talked about career goals.

I'm like "Hey, teacher! I literally met TWO prodigies yesterday!! Helloooooo!!!"

But I said it in my mind, so no one else heard it but me.

I was planning to go to major university and train to be a professional illustrator.

So I don't have to do much as of now besides to keep drawing but for now I'll write in my diary.

It was too bad that Vans isn't here yet!! I was DYING to ask her if she was the CCP from another school that beat Mackenzie!

Speaking of Mackenzie, I heard her and her friends GGG-ing near my locker earlier. Well, Mackenzie's locker is literally next to mine after all.

GGG-ing means Giggling, Gossping and Glossing!

They were raving their heads off about the charities that they were sponsporing for the Holiday on Ice event.

Crud! Me, Chloe and Zoey haven't found a charity to sponsor yet :( !! And it's due later on this month!

Mackenzie bragged to her friends that she was going to participate for the school of her Aunt Clarisa's.

Lisa Wang said that she'll be sponsoring this amazing restaraunt that was going to close down because of financial problems.

Jessica mentioned that she struck a deal with this quaint lip stick brand that wasn't making that much progress recently.

Sarah Grossman recalled that she's going to do it for a very talented designer friend of hers who runs a shop, who was also facing a financial crisis due to her luxurious lifestyle.

JUST GREAT :( !

Oh, speaking of Vans. I followed her advice in reading the first three chapters of Moby Dick yesterday and thanked myself for doing so!

My creative juices were flowing and my imagination did the work for me, so much that I ended up reading ten chapters all in one go! Yay me :) !!

I also felt pretty confused during social studies, as all I can think of is how amazing things would be when Chloe and Zoey meet Vans while I watch!

For some reason, I imagined SEVERAL events in my head.

First one is what I thought I'll get stuck with, they get along together pretty easily and become the best of best friends! We all get together perfectly, me, Cecila and the other friends Vans mentioned.

The second one is heartbreaking. Chloe and Zoey stop being friends with me and start being friends with Vans instead because Vans told them that we met because I filed a case against Mackenzie and I kept it a secret!

The worst thing is that I imagined Vans trying to mend things with me and my friends but they REFUSED to follow her tips, no matter what she did :( !!!

Then she cries once she's home with her aunt because she unknowingly broke my friendship with my friends from WCD.

Third one was . . . how to put this in a compherendable manner? TOTALLY WEIRD!

Their interactions go smoothly as I expected at first but somehow, it's like Vans is way too PERFECT for them.

What if they got jealous of her of how good she is in everything and anything?!

What if they couldn't stand her strict religious-ful self??!!

What if they DON'T LIKE HER AT ALL???!!!

I decided to shut those thoughts out by reading Moby Dick and hopefully my imagination goes back to recreating those scenes in the book and not make up some CRAY-ZEE scenario or two in my mind.

Thankfully, it worked and I managed to read three chapters under that hour!

Later on that day in bio class, me and Brandon talked a while since the teacher was late than usual before Mackenzie rudely interrupted us.

I went in first saying that I appreciated of how incredibly sweet his invitation card was to me!

Then Brandon said thanks . . . and that's where Mackenzie barged in, trying to make Brandon give HER an invite by twirling her tanned fingers on her silky blonde hair over and over and over again!!

OMG! I think I got DIZZY just by looking at that!!

Our teacher finally came in and noticed her mouth going thirty miles per minute. "Mackenzie Hollister, I see that you generously used my absent to make idle chatter. Mind standing at the back of the class cleaning out all of those rat cages?"

I swear, I saw her gulp and squirm! Our teacher did NOT look happy with what she saw and Mackenzie scurried back to her seat.

That was hilariously funny! Plus, you deserve that, Mackenzie!!

But now she's giving ME the EVIL EYE across the room as if it was MY fault that she nearly got stuck in doing rat-poop duty.

Whatever!

Besides, I think you should be more worried that Cecila and Vans are out to find evidence that'll make you regret sending a PHONY tuition bill at me.

Oh wait, you don't know about that UNTIL we're in the courtroom!

Wait, does Principal Winston know about this. . . ?

Hey, if the security guard and Janitor Chuck knew, why not him?

JUST GREAT :( !!!

Then again, if he knows, then I should be sent to the office right now or even WAY earlier to talk.

So I think he doesn't know.

And if he did know, then he might have told Mackenzie about it.

Which would make Mackenzie have more of a reason to HATE me more :( !

Today's lesson was about invertebrates and vertebrates. Basically, creatures with bones and without bones.

This lesson is SO easy! It's definitely a NO-BRAINER!!

School went on like usual but something at Math bothered me.

Violet barely managed to stay awake for the entire class. I wanted to help her, but she was way behind me, plus we had to answer our seatworks.

Guess we're lucky today that it wasn't us that was called over for recitation earlier!!

Violet seriously looked TIRED! I took a glance at her three times during class and she seemed like . . . A ZOMBIE!

I kid you not, diary! One time she nearly slammed her face to her desk but prevented herself to.

Poor Violet, what happened to you :( ?!

After school, I waited at the shed of where the bus usually stops. As expected, Vans and Cecila arrived in the same manner as yesterday.

I STILL can't believe I haven't asked Vans yet!!

So we chatted, we being mostly me and Vans, as Cecila looked more serious today.

What happened to her today. . . ?

I didn't bother to ask her, she probably just hope it was over already with whatever's happening earlier in her day today.

During our chat, Cecila remembered that the original fake tuition bill was with me. Vans pulled out several copies of the fake tuition bill, in case they ever lost one.

Beat that, Mackenzie! I am SO prepared with these two on my side!!

And then, while we were exploring our lockers, Cecila said she had to use the bathroom, leaving me with the perfect opportunity if Vans was indeed the CCP from another school that beat Mackenzie.

"Vans, I want to ask you something..."

"Hmn?"

"Well, there's this rumour going around WCD that Mackenzie threw a hissy fit because she lost a in a game of chess from some CCP girl from another school."

"Oh. . . the same Mackenzie that sent you the phoney baloney?"

"Yep! I want to ask, is that girl you?"

Vans looked at me confused and empty-handed.

Oh crud! I feel so AWKWARD asking that :( !!

But what she said next was UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

"I'm sorry, what's a CCP?"

At that moment, I wanted to SCREAM at the top of my lungs!

HOW could she not know the meaning of a CCP, knowing AND clearly aware that she is one??!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! (That was me screaming!)

She probably noticed my expression change and she looked concerned.

"Uhh, Nikki?"

"Oh, it means Cute, Cool and Popular!"

"Oooh, that makes sense! The people in my school don't use that term, they have a different name for that."

"Which is?"

"Vaguely, the Cliquè and the term rich kids, but there are more specific ones. The MacBethanies, Fleglings Fowls, Viscious Vanessa, and there's me, Virtuous Vanessa."

"Wait, there's ANOTHER person in your school named Vanessa?!"

"Yeah, she's a bully. Allies with the leader of the MacBethanies, Bethany Maxwell."

I gulped. Did this Bethany just so happen to have the same last name as ME?!

"As in, like, my last name?"

"OMG! YOU'RE RIGHT!! Oh, sorry that I shouted too loud, Nikki!"

Her screams were so LOUD that she beat the whistle that my gym teacher had in its own game!!!!

OMG, I thought the glass would SHATTER into pieces because of it!

Yeowch!! My poor, poor eardrums :( !

Note to self: if Vans EVER shouts, wear earplugs to protect your hearing and sanity!

We then talked about the other people in the Cliquè. There were the MacBethanies, a group of spoiled mean girls who got their name when they messed up the choreography of a Macbeth play her school did and nobody forgot about it ever since.

Talk about EMBARASSING!! OMG, how does Bethany deal with this fact?!

They actually had a name before that incident, one that had their initials on it but only a few actually remember that name. The MacBethanies stuck to them like strong glue!

Then we got the Flegling Fowls, her school's official sports team. These group were mostly filled with hot hunks that girls like I would scream out loud just for them to notice me.

Note that I said most. One of the players was fat guy which the school had a hard time getting clothes of his size.

Jonas' friend, some Indian guy called Tony, managed to get a spot in the team and made it!

Vans showed me a picture and wow!! With Tony's hotness, I don't understand WHY he wasn't accepted earlier!

"Hey, uh, in case you're crushing on Tony. . . I gotta tell you something."

I looked at her bewildered and not expecting what she was going to say next.

"He's gay."

WHAT?!

B-BUT!! LOOK AT HIM!!!!!

HE'S SO HOT THAT GIRLS WOULD FORM A FAN CLUB FOR HIM!!

I don't mind if he's just an average looking guy, but no, he's handsome!

Why, WHY are some of the most hottest looking men in the whole world are gays?!

No offense, gays!

Then Vans went on explaining that Jonas is a bisexual and he wants her but Vans wants to be a celibate until marriage, then later on she found out that Tony likes Jonas.

And just when you thought you had a complicated love life. . .

We talked about the MacBethanies and Cecila finally came back, she looked a little bit messy but still professional.

Then we talk, go outside the school, grab ourselves some drinks, Vans offers me to skate on the ice and this is how today's skating went. . .

We did some warm-up exercises and a few streches before we went skating. There thankfully wasn't that much people in the area.

Imagine me trying to do the basic poses with my pair of legs jiggly as a drunk newborn giraffe's while Vans is rocking it out perfectly, like she is a delicate snowflake swirling in the winter wonderland which is around her.

I felt TOTALLY embarassed! But hey, advanced training prior to Holiday on Ice, right?

And again, Vans helped me stand up on my wobbly frame and teached me a few techniques.

I was able to skate a bit more successfully even if it was just a simple and basic style.

I don't know why but Vans cheering strangely reminded me of a mom. Well, my mom.

Suddenly, I hear a VERY familiar voice behind us. "Wait, are you that girl. . .?!"

We turned around, surprized, and saw Mackenzie wearing fashionable designer winter clothing. There also stood Jessica, also dressed in stylish fabrics and in skates.

Before Vans could even reply, Mackenzie got irritated and lunged at her. Thankfully, she knew what to do! She skid to the side with grace and me in tow.

Mackenzie screamed. "Ugh! I'll never forgive you for embarassing me in front of all of my friends!!"

She lunged at us AGAIN and I was very surprized that she didn't seem to notice me.

Probably because I was hiding behind Vans' back and crouching in fear.

Hey! Can you blame me? Mackenzie was like a loose and hungry crocodile bedazzeled in satin and jewelry!!

This started to feel more and more intense as Vans then talked to Mackenzie that their game was a fair play: she lost and she won.

Did that girl even listen?! Probably NOT because all she did was to keep closing near us and we dodged her every attack!

Several dodges later, she dared Vans that whoever has the best performance on the spot of some holiday classic song will win the competition.

This did not help that more and more people slowly watched us all. And worse, Mackenzie announced the crowd as if they were the audience of HER own TV show!!

I cannot believe that girl. . . !!!

I don't know HOW Vans did it, but she did it anyway. She managed to make me remain unnoticable as the crowd grew in size and did Mackenzie's dare.

People had their phones out and I noticed that I couldn't find where Cecila went. Where is she?!

The song was indeed a holiday classic. It was Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy from The Nutcracker.

Never have I thought ice skating was so COOL (no pun intended) before Vans did her performance.

The song started and for a moment, she stood still and let Mackenzie perform.

She observed Mackenzie's movement and also the ice field for a while.

Then she decided to STEAL the show by suddenly blindfolding herself and still skate in speechless perfection.

Everyone got focused on her and turned their heads.

Then Mackenzie pulled off some stunts.

NOW everyone looked at her.

But then Vans skating prowess and consistency overpowered Mackenzie's fancy moves.

Everyone was back looking at her.

Mackenzie did some complicated moves, sure, but Vans BEAT her at her own game! She was fluid, interpretative and breathtaking, all Mackenzie did was making a routine last-minute and failed!

I finally knew what Mackenzie looked like when she lost in realizing I won the advant art competition. She was LIVID!!!

Just by the look of her face, I thought she was going to rip poor Vans to shreds :( !

OMG! I can't imagine how STARK RAVING MAD Mackenzie was in her mind when Vans quickly blocked her from view on purpose multiple times!! And you have to remember that she was BLINDFOLDED!

But whenever she had the chance of hurting her, she ended up hurting her performace instead.

Slowly, people lost interest in Mackenzie's unorganized and unprepared routine and awed at Vans' ability of increasing the tension in her audience.

This kept on going for a few more moments, the song ended and you won't BELIEVE what just happened next. . . !!!

Both Vans and Mackenzie skated into a still position but Mackenzie suddenly slid off by accident and crashed! Guess she's lucky the ice didn't break on impact!!

Hmn, what if the ice DID break and Mackenzie ended up as a human popsicle stick. . . ? That doesn't seem so bad!!

She'd look GREAT in a museum!

Despite being blindfolded, Vans went near Mackenie and offered her to let her help her stand up.

Mackenzie was obviously FAR from okay with this. She screeched, threw a BIIIG hissy fit saying that she purposely embarassed her in front of a crowd and cheated.

OMG! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT GIRL!!

I would have slapped her since I had the chance but then Vans' there and I can't do such a thing in front of her. Even when she's blindfolded!

The crowd booed and said that the girl with brown hair won the challenge. At this point, Mackenzie was SEETHING with rage!!

She didn't bother to speak any further, stood up all by herself, called Jessica over and left the ice.

Vans remained silent but did a bow and thanking the audience whilst she swiftly removed her blindfold with perfection.

The audience clapped loud and cheered at her, some of them even approached to her, asked her social media accounts, took selfies with her and complimented her.

Most of them shortly left after, but a few stayed to watch and learn Vans skate properly on the ice.

Most of them were kids and preteens, definetly nowhere near my age!

But Vans called me over and we all learned Skating 101 from her.

If I hadn't listened, I'd have NO idea what I was doing wrong in my skating!! OMG, I'm so glad I listened!

Not all of the kids had the best behavior but Vans was able to settle them down.

An hour passes, we all practicied and Vans was your ever friendly and supportive coach. Then they said their goodbyes as me and her had to leave them.

The kids were pleasant and the parents were amazed by her, one even asked her cellphone number and she happily complied!

Wow! If only I could be like that.

As me and Vans finished removing the ice skates and placed it in her bag, her phone rang.

Then she looked at it and said to me that Cecila's taking a break from her detective work in a nearby 7 11.

Well that explains her absence! I just hope she'll tell me further about how things were going so far.

She was right when she said it was nearby. It wasn't that far, honestly. It was literally three blocks away from where we were standing!!

We brushed the snow off of ourselves, walked inside and looked at Cecila who looked exhausted and was eating an apple.

OMG! And just when I thought Violet looked like a zombie, Cecila had it WAY worse!!

I didn't mind when she kindly told me to leave and head out home. How hard was it being a detective? Not sure if I want to find out. . .

When I got home, I decided to read seven chapters of Moby Dick, checked if I had missed anything in school today and since everyone was minding their own business, so did I.

Then I decided to go downstairs to watch TV.

Dad wasn't there, which was not surprizing. I expected him to be seated on the family couch reading the newspaper but he wasn't there.

I flipped channels over and over again on the TV remote (the Tyra Banks show wasn't there yet and I was on the TV early) until I stumbled onto a channel playing Sherlock Holmes.

I stayed there and decided to watch it.

I was interested and this show might give me a glimpse of what it's like being a detective!

Then I envisioned Sherlock Holmes as Cecila Summers and John Watson as Vanessa Shellenberger.

Talk about weird!! Thankfully I reminded myself that this is just a show.

After the episode ended, I decided to wait for the Tyra Banks show to start.

Just then, when the intro plays I heard someone knock on the door.

I looked through the glass and immediately recognized who the person was.

If it was Chloe and Zoey, I would've been in disbelief on how they found out where I live!!!

But no, it was Cecila.

Right there, all by herself and looking better than way earlier.

I quickly let her in and she instantly took off her winter coat. She also placed her bag on the floor along with her winter hat ontop of it.

We talked in whispers as the show played on. I turned up the volume so that we could talk louder.

"Hey, why did you come in my place so late?"

"Well-"

"And you had to interrupt me during on my favourite show!!"

"Nikki, I found this."

She grabbed her earphones and her phone. I looked at her confused but in seeing the thumbnail, I accepted them quickly.

"Keep the volume low, you'll never know who else is listening."

I wore the earphones that were already plugged in her phone and I watched the video in silence.

It was the CCTV's recording of Jessica forging the tuition bill and it was done on the same day as I received it.

Unbelievable!! How could Principal Winston trust anyone like her to handle such things?!

Then after that video ended, she showed me another video. She mouthed that she sent an acquaintance of Jessica's whom complied attaching an unnoticable camera on her.

I watched it and payed no attention to Tyra Banks' show whatsoever. The agent and Jessica were talking about usual CCP stuff but then . . . they suddenly managed to talk about me!

Jessica said it loud and proud, she spilled out the ENTIRE scheme in front of her! And she MENTIONED my name!!

She not only did she denounced herself but also Mackenzie, saying that this was HER idea!!!

SCORE! If this doesn't prove Mackenzie's guilt, then I don't know WHAT will!!

After that video, there was one more. It was Mackenzie this time, Cecila told me that they also used the same technique on a different agent.

Mackenzie wasn't easily persuaded to tell my name like Jessica was. She didn't mention it at all! She was more subtle about it in a low voice but then she switched to another topic after saying that it was supposed to be a joke.

After that video, she asked me to give me her phone and earphones back, I did so. We talked about when the case will be taken to court and she said that it will only start when I'm ready to submit the evidence to the police.

I gulped and shortly after, we said our goodbyes. Cecila had all of her stuff with her and left.

Cecila must've caught a bus quickly because after I closed the door and looked outside the window. She was gone!

After seeing those videos, I'm just pondering on when I feel- no, think that I'm ready to face Mackenzie in the courtroom.

I turned off the TV in my bedroom and did what I usually do when I'm faced with a situation like this.

Facing the wall, SULKING!! Sorry diary, I just don't want to think about this right now.
