Why my life sucks by Geri Lazaro:
- My dad left when I was a kid.
- My mom is in love (insert eye roll).
- With a guy who is like 10 years younger than her!
- My friends think he’s hot. (Gross)
- I love ballet but our dance studio has a leak and we have to dance in this smelly studio that doubles as an aikido dojo.
- There’s this Dojo guy who thinks the studio belongs to him.
- Friends think Dojo guy is cute. (Ew.) (Okay, objectively maybe but still, ew.)
- I’m failing algebra.
- Need to quit either basketball or ballet. Or both.
- Dojo guy keeps showing up! (Fine, he does aikido in the same building but whatever.)
- Dojo guy is asking me to dance with him. And maybe he is as cute as my friends say.
- I don’t know what to do anymore!
