Adventures of Abby Diamond

"Teenage Wizard" I bumped into Jared in the cafeteria. “Hey, Jared. You are too cool. Thanks so much for your help. My magic cane is teaching the bully a lesson that he will never forget.” “Want to have some more fun with your cane?” he giggled. “Sure, what is it?” I asked. “Everyone is drinking something, milk, soda, lemonade, etc. Wave your cane and say the following saying, “When life gives you lemons make lemonade.” I laughed and did what Jared said. I waved the cane and said the magic phrase. All of a sudden I heard bubbling all over the cafeteria. Kids began screaming and laughing all at the same time. “What’s happening?” I asked Jared. “Well, let’s just say that there are tiny bubbles all over the cafeteria.” After the bell sounded, Andrea explained everything to me. “Abby it was so weird. I was just sitting there and talking to Michael whenever my milk and his lemonade began bubbling all over the place. We noticed that the whole cafeteria was bubbling. Man, this is such a cool place.” "Secrets in the Attic" “Okay,” Alison said. “Abby let’s go back upstairs and see what our heroine is up to now.” We climbed back up the staircase and went into the secret room. Selma made it to England and Mare was waiting at the dock for her. She found out quickly that Mare was not the happy-go-lucky young woman that she once was. It seemed that Mare’s rich young husband was not rich or very nice but wanted her to marry him anyway. He was so persistent and Mare was frightened of him. Neils spoke up and interrupted, “I wouldn’t take that from nobody,” she announced. “Take that from nobody?” Andrea asked. “Neils, how many times do I have to tell you to stop speaking like Jaxson. You can hang out with him, but stop speaking like him.” We died out laughing and then I continued. Mare begged Selma to help her to escape, so the two girls quickly planned a really quick escape. They pulled their money together and as luck would have it bought their tickets on a maiden voyage called the Titanic. Neils, Andrea, Alison and I all screamed in unison, “The Titanic!” We heard a loud clap of thunder, hard rain pouring and the lights went out. Selma said that the ship was considered the most elaborate ship that had ever been built and that it was so large that it was like a floating city and was unsinkable. Selma and Mare felt so lucky to have purchased tickets on this floating paradise. However, because the girls lacked in money, they had to purchase third class passenger tickets. Neither Selma nor Mare wanted to be stationed in the bowels of the boat, but what choice did they have? Neils spoke up and interrupted again, “Bowels of the boat, gross!” “Neils, be quiet!” we all screamed. “Soooorrry,” She moped. At first Selma and Mare really enjoyed the luxury ship. It was equipped with a swimming pool, a gym, two libraries and a Turkish bath. Mare took Selma all over the ship and the two began meeting people from France, Iran, England and the United States. Selma writes that this was truly the time of her life. For four days the girls laughed, ate, danced and met many wonderful people until the night of April 14th not long before midnight. Mare and Selma were out on the deck talking to two friends named John and Sammy whenever there was a huge bump. Selma fell down and felt a large piece of ice on the deck. “I asked myself what a large piece of ice was doing on the deck. Pretty soon I heard the terrible news; the Titanic ship hit an ice burg and the unsinkable ship was going to sink.”
