Date:

Time: Class Trip during school hours

Place: Parkland High School

This day just isn't going well for Alexander…he knew it from the moment he woke up with gum in his hair. And from there, things just get worse. His teacher doesn't like his “invisible” drawing, there's

no dessert in his lunch, he goes to the dentist and finds out he has a cavity, and there's kissing on TV, yuck! Things are going so bad, he continually thinks about moving to Australia to get away from it all! But luckily this day, like all others, comes to an end, and he doesn't have to move to Australia after all.
