Stacey’s Diary Extract 1
That T.J’s in my class again this year, and my Mama’s our teacher. He keeps bugging me about the big test were having to get into the next grade. That boy thinks that just because our teacher is my Mama that she is going to let me know the answers to this test. I don’t want to cheat on the test and I don’t think T.J should either, its not honest and it would be like lying to Mama. That boy has been pestering me since the beginning of the year, he doesn’t want to work for anything, and his got no morals. As long as he gets what he wants his happy, he don’t mind whose feet he steps on to get it. It’s going to get him into trouble one of these days.
Today T.J met us the way to school, as usual. He came over boasting about how clever he is. I didn’t want to hear it, I’m just about sick of him AND his stories, but it didn’t matter we was all going to hear the story whether we wanted to or not. T.J had been up the Wallace stores again, a place that’s strictly forbidden, well some how his Mama found out he had been up there and when he got back boy was she mad. So to get himself out of trouble he went and said that he had only gone up there because his little brother Claude had gone up there, and T.J was bringing him home because he knew he shouldn’t be there. T.J’s mum just about wore poor Claude out. Now young Claude is just as scared of T.J as he is of his mother. So poor Claude pretty much takes the fall for most of T.J’s mistakes. I don’t know how T.J can be so selfish, I could hardly believe it when he told us, T.J does some bad things but he just seems to be getting worse. I could never do something like that, if you do something bad you should get ready to pay the price. If I were Claude I wouldn’t be able to take it, if someone done that to me they would get a beating.
