“That’s my new logo,” Dad said proudly. “For my newest venture. You like?” Dad had started and stopped a whole bunch of businesses in the past ten years. Mom called him a snake oil salesman sometimes, but Madison wasn’t sure she knew what that meant, exactly.
“Wow, that’s neat-o,” Madison said. The logo rotated around and around, leaving a trail of blue “dust” on the screen.
Madison was prouder than proud that her dad was so “with it” where his business was concerned. She didn’t know any other parents in her class into technology and social media the way he was.
“Let’s tackle your technology homework now,” Dad said, exiting his company’s screen. “I think we make a good team.”
Madison agreed.
Hart
Just got back from Dad’s. I have a Swedish meatball stomachache. I also have Hart on the brain.
I talked to The Wiz a.k.a. Hart for a little while after science class. Every time I see him and talk to him alone now is like a big deal, I can’t help it.
Can you say CUTE? Plus, he stopped me in the hall, not the other way around. What does that mean? I congratulated him and he congratulated me and how dumb is that? He will make THE BEST Wiz ever in the history of The Wiz.
I think Ivy likes him, too, which stinks. She always flirts and she will probably find a way to make herself the center of attention in The Wiz and get Hart, too. Aimee’s right. She’s not just playing a witch in the show. She is a real witch.
What would Bigwheels do right now? I bet she is popular with guys. I’m just guessing. Maybe she can help me with the play and with Hart.
That is, if she ever writes back.
