I am Greg Heffly and I have many problems, in home and school, and I also get harassed and bullied by my older brother, Rodrick. He has a rock band and sometimes they could get annoying. Rodrick picks, harasses, embarrasses, and is mean to me. But what can I do about it he’s my brother for life and he is mine. I am also going to start a new grade, 7th grade. Im went to the skating rink and reunited with Rowley and my classmates Chirag and Fregley. I need to forget about the past but I think I can do that with my friends Rowley, Fregley, and Chirag help. Rowley's fame starts to grow; Greg must take drastic measures to save their friendship. At home im having problems because since my dad says he might have to send me to military school if Greg doesn't "toughen up,” Today Chirag told me about the new girl in school named Holly Hills and sounds pretty and nice; I think I would like to meet her. I attempted to skate with Holly, but then my older brother Rodrick intervenes, ending with my mom speaking to me on the loudspeaker and then she humiliates me in front of everyone. Days go by and then my mom finally notices that Rodrick and me don’t get along and calls for a family meeting. She talks to us about getting along with each other but immediately I know that’s not going to work but then she offers us "Mom Bucks", (which we can trade in for real money.) I have to accept this. Rodrick and me also compete with each other to earn the Mom Bucks’.
On Sunday, we went to church. I didn’t really want to go inside or to church at all, and also I noticed that I had a chocolate mark on my pants. My mom used her blouse to cover up the stain, but our plan doesn’t go well when Rodrick exposes my pants and then I got so mad and I started fighting Rodrick on the floor of the church. As punishment we spend together on the weekend together to bond. Later that day Rodrick hosts a party at the house and locks me in the basement (how mean). Rowley came to 'save' me, but Rodrick locks him in the basement as well, until a call from mom ends in Rodrick letting the two out in return, both of them had to keep this a secret. The house party was very awesome and fun! The next day we got a call from mom telling us that Manny is sick and they're returning early from their vacation. The house is trashed, and then we had an hour to clean it and erase all evidence of the party before mom and dad arrived home. Mom and dad arrived and soon realizes about the party and so I decided to confess. However, I liked the party so much and didn’t want to get in trouble so I said the party was only a band rehearsal, and with that we escape punishment. Rodrick, finally tells me something I really wanted to hear like,” your 'not as half as lame as I thought', and then we finally become friends. After I ask Rodrick for advice on Holly Hills, but his attempts fail and embarrass me.
We returned home to find that dad has seen the photos of the party and we got in trouble. I was grounded for two weeks plus no video games, and then on the other hand Rodrick got grounded for two weeks and disallowed from being in the talent show. Rodrick and I go back how we used to be, not friendly and then we spend the weekend with grandpa. I soon run into Holly and then I reveal that we both have identical families. Holly gives me advice and also I feel more positive than negative. After that a few days later we all performed in the talent show, me, mom, Rowley, and Rodrick and his band as well. I fixed my problems with my family. Sooner or later I will have to cooperate with Rodrick. I also have to take responsibility of my actions also because they will determine my future with Rodrick, Manny, Mom, and Dad. I also don’t want to be like Rodrick because I want to be more nicer, smarter, and better looking than him. He is just another obstacle in my way of life success.
