Entry 1: "I Hate Her"

Written By: Jimmy N., age 9

I hate her.

I have only known her for a total of five minutes, and I can confidently say, with every fiber, molecule and atom in my being, that I absolutely cannot stand Cynthia Vortex. Everything about her drives me crazy. Her voice, her stupid smirk like she thinks she's better than me (which, by the way: she isn't), her dumb dog that clearly needs to be trained (far more then she's capable of), her attitude, her stupid blond hair, her know-it-all eyes, and even those small insignificant freckles across the top of her nose (which I only noticed because she got in MY face). She broke into MY lab, after all! My personal and secret hideout as if she owned the place! And she didn't even say sorry! She's rude, annoying and beyond infuriating…..

However….

Although all of those statements above are true, I am a product and firm believer in science. And because of this, I cannot deny the simple fact that, despite all of those things, Cindy Vortex is…..interesting. It's obvious that she isn't like most of the girls here in Retroville. When she spoke, her words had such a….certainty. Such a…a…ugh—I hate to say this, but intelligence. She may be annoying….but she is intelligent. Clearly not as intelligent as me, but intelligent, nonetheless. I've…..I've never met another kid, let alone a GIRL, with even a remotely close intelligence to mine. I've never had someone challenge me before…I've never had someone threaten my spot...I've ALWAYS been the genius of Retroville. All of the kids at school know that I'm number 1 for a reason….

And now…this Cindy Vortex thinks she can just waltz into Retroville and take my spot?

No. I don't think so.

She's interesting. And I HATE admitting that on a piece of paper, but she is. She's interesting and I can't help but wonder why? Why is she so interesting that I can't stop thinking about her? Why is she so interesting that I am now writing an entire journal entry dedicated to her? This is new. All of this is so new. And….I don't like it. I don't like the way I can't get her out of my head. I don't like that all I keep thinking about are those stupid freckles across her stupid little nose and that stupid little smirk when she got up in my face and….

Ugh. I hate her. I really, REALLY hate her.

And maybe this is a bad idea, but I have no other options or solutions. She lives across the street now, she isn't going to just go away. I'm going to have to see her on more than one occasion, whether I like it or not. I'm going to have to find a way to deal with this Cindy Vortex. I'm going to have to find a way to deal with why she's so stupidly interesting to me….

So…..I've decided to do an experiment.

I'm calling it, The Cindy Vortex Experiment.

Yes. Cindy Vortex is interesting. And like all interesting things, an experiment is the best possible way to find out why they are so interesting. So, that's what I'm going to do. I will begin observing her behavior on Monday. I'm sure she'll be attending the same school as me, so that's sure to be an experience….I will take notes on everything I possibly can, collect data and analytics, and hopefully, by the end of this experiment, I'll have unlocked the mysteries and answers to this Cynthia Vortex. I'll have unlocked the mystery on why she is so interesting…..to me...for science, of course.

….

I really hope this isn't a bad idea.
