“Duh!” Daniel would say. “Start at the beginning obviously.”
But how do you know where the beginning is? We’re not talking fairy tales here. There’s no “Once upon a time.” I suppose the beginning is my birth (if we’re not going to be silly about it and go back to when I was “Just a twinkle in my Dad’s eye.” Or even further back to when my parents were born or right back to the very first humans, the very first Gonzales-es. If this is even my story, which it might not be.)
That gave me an idea. Let me introduce you to El Grupo:
Doesn't tell you much does it? So how about they introduce themselves?
You'll have to read the comments...
Hi I’m Rey, I’m the leader of the group. Don't argue DG u know it's true.
ReplyDeleteI was voted funniest student in our year and student most likely to do the wrong thing. That’s why everyone do what I say. Cos I make them laugh.
Actually they do what he says because he’s a bit crazy (a lot crazy) so they’re scared of him. (Or it could be, for some people, because he’s funny, who knows?)
ReplyDeleteI’m Daniel. They say I’m the smartest in the year, which I won’t argue with. I do get a lot of the highest grades and the prizes but grades aren't everything and I know how to get along with people too. I was even voted president by all of primary. But that’s another story.
I’m probably the least cool of the group and everyone laughs when I talk because my voice is so deep. But I don’t mind. Even my Mum says I’m an old man in the body of a 12 year old boy. But I play football and basket ball well enough to be on the teams and I’ve been Gabriel’s best friend since kindergarten. Our strengths and weaknesses compliment each other so I’m kind of in El Grupo by default really. Besides every outfit needs a brain right?
Why do I have to write on this one? Isn't it bad enough I have to do my own? – what’s this for? JD
ReplyDeleteHe’s a dumb crazy fool! And so's that Rey. Surely our leader is Daniel? He got the brains. But I am the coolest and the craziest of them all and I’m great at basket even if I’m not so great at footie well actually I am great it’s just that I’m the least great of the six but considering how great they are that still makes me pretty great! Did I tell you I’m great? JP Rules!!!!!!!!!
