I was hoping Chloe and Zoe were finally over their totally wacky idea of getting tattoos for National Library Week.

Thank goodness their parents said, no way.

But when I saw them in PE class, Parents said, no way.

But when I saw them in PE class, they were still pretty upset.

Our PE teacher divided us up into groups of three for our ballet skills test, and at first I was happy that Chloe and

Zoe and I were together. Each group was supposed to pick classical music from the

teacher's CD collection and then make up a short dance routine

using the five ballet positions we had learned over the past weeks. Since I knew all of

them I was sure I was going to get an A or at lowest, maybe a B-plus on the test.

But unfortunately, Chloe and Zoe were too depressed to participate.

I was like,

Come on guys, cheer up. We have to make up our ballet routine and practice it before we run out of time.

But both of them just stared at me with big sad puppy dog eyes.

Chloe said,

I can't believe our parents aren't letting us get tattoos.

How unfair is that? And now Mrs. Peach will never pick us for the trip to NYC.

It's like our hopes and dreams have shriveled up and died.
