    The silliest thing just happened to me! Just because I never did any of my homework and hardly showed up to some classes I’ve been forced into summer school if I want to be able to pass the fifth grade and get into middle school next year. It’s not as bad as it seems though, my best friend Grunt is in summer school too, so at least I’ll have someone to talk to.

I bet I’ll be bored out of my mind, but it’s not like zombies have anything better to do in the summer, avoiding the sun and all. Anyway, I heard that my first month-long session is in history and it’s being taught by a skeleton!
