Saturday Boy


49 comments:

  1. Right now Derek is in trouble for writing on the school wall. He has to scrub the walls to get the all marker off, even in the girls bathroom. I think it is funny that he has to scrub the walls in the girls bathroom because boys normally aren't allowed in the girls bathroom. Do you think it is a fair punishment?

  2. Derek's mother is extremely sad. He is also having a pretty big stroke of bad luck at school. I honestly don't think he deserves it. I hope his luck will get better. Do you hope it gets better?

  7. Budgie and Derek used to be friends, but now they fight unless they are hanging out
    alone together. What do you think happened to this friendship?

    1. I think it is because Budgie has matured some and doesn't want people to think he is like Derek who acts kind of immature.

    2. I think Budgie is sort of being pressured into bullying Derek because people are saying Derek is weird. He hears this and decides that if he is the best friend of someone who is seen as weird, he will be seen as weird too. So he's determined NOT to be Derek's friend.

  17. So far I'm really enjoying Saturday Boy. Budgie isn't a very good friend if you ask me. I think what he did to Budgie was very funny and he deserved it. Also I think he will get in big trouble.
