>>Production: THE CLASSROOM
Over on Miller Street, behind the brick walls of
Westside Middle School, there are desks. There are
lockers. There are worksheets, textbooks, pencils,
pens, and squeaky hallway floors that are buffed
clean every Friday, right around four or so.
But they werent cleaned this past Friday,
since Wilson, the janitor who shall not be called
the janitor, ran out of replacement filters for
his floor buffer. Just thought you should know.
Now!at Westside Middle School there is a vice
principal, counselors, lots of teachers, and, of
course, students.
One of those students is Trevor Jones, your
average, normal seventh grade student who ended up
on a reality TV show.
Sort of.
This documentary crew set out to show what hap-
pens when a renowned Hollywood designer comes to
trick out Westside Middle School.
And also what happens when two film crews cross
paths at the same place and same time. So weird.
Westside is their middle school.
These are their stories.

No, I wouldnt say seventh grade has been FUN
so far. Thats a stretch. I would say this year
has been . . . EVENTFUL. And weird. And cool. And
bizarre. And epic. This year has been a lot of
adjectives.
Ever since Libby was elected class president
last fall, Ive been busy helping her with all her
presidential projects. And there have been many.
But let me be clear: when I say PROJECTS, I
really mean DANCES. The girl is obsessed. Shes
managed to convince Vice Principal Decker to let
us have a dance for virtually every occasion.
We had a Halloween dance. A Thanksgiving dance.
A Leftovers from Thanksgiving dance. A Lets Hope
for a Snow Day dance. (That one took place right
after the Weather Seems Sorta Crummy dance.)
Libby was able to get approval for all these
dances by including a fund-raiser. Decker, appar-
ently, will agree to anything as long as you raise
money for school equipment.

Can you believe it? I won our school a makeover!
Were going to be on TV!
See, at first I was just going to hold a car
wash fund-raiser, but it was Trevor who convinced
me to think BIG. When I saw a commercial on TV for
a contest to be on the show Trick Out My School,
I knew I had to go for it!
All I had to do was write a ten-thousand-word
essay and send in photographic evidence of how
dilapidated our school is. One of the pictures
I sent was of the cafeteria. Also, the inside of
Trevors locker. Also, everything else.
So I put together the whole thing in a Power-
Point 3-D slide show, and we won! That means new
chairs, good lighting, and a much better color
scheme. No more walls the color of turkey gravy!
And Ive watched EVERY episode of Trick Out My
School. Its possible well also get a shark tank.
Or neon lights in the cafeteria. Or maybe even
hammocks in place of desks!
But the best part? Its Kip Lee. KIP. LEE. Hes
simply awesome. And as everyone knows . . . hes
my IDOL. Well, actually, Barbara Boxer, senatorfrom California, is my top idol, but hes totally
in second place!
[shakes with excitement]
Oh my gosh, look at me! Im shaking! Or maybe
I forgot to eat breakfast? Im not sure! But I DO
know that I cant wait to meet Mr. Lee.
And this HAS to be exciting for Trevor, too,
since he was the one who inspired me to enter the
contest. He must be ECSTATIC!!

Obviously telling Libby to think big was a mis-
take. I just meant stuff like better art supplies.
Or maybe even electric pencil sharpeners. Those
are awesome.
But no, apparently when you tell Libby Gardner
to think big, you end up with a big, loud,
pounding monster truck of an idea.
[rubs temples]
This is all too much. I should have take some
vitamins this morning.
I dont get it. A makeover? What is a MAKEOVER?!
Naw, Ive never heard of the show. If it isnt
on the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet, Ive
never seen it.
Id be much more excited if we were getting
visited by that reality show Duck Quackers. Making
our own duck call would make way more sense than
getting a disco ball in the cafeteria or whatever.
But then again . . . the floors in the boys
locker room could use some attention.
I might give the guy a chance. MIGHT.
