Entry 10- Virgin Mary?
Dear Diary,
Today at school, I came up with the best idea ever. I'm still rattled up about the whole Landon/Jamie issue, so I decided it would be perfect.
Before I get into that, I have to say that yesterday I actually felt kinda better about the L/J thing. Just yesterday, in study hall, I saw Landon walk right past Tracie and me. He didn't sit with us, nor did he even greet us! How rude. I watched him walk out of the library and straight to where Jamie was eating lunch. From our table, I could see them having a conversation. Tracie kept trying to get my attention to some chem. homework she needed help on but I paid no attention. So I kept my eyes fixed on Landon. Nothing happened for some time. Jamie was just talking and reading some book while Landon sat looking around. But then, I saw Jamie suddenly stand up, hurry out of the cafeteria, past the library and out the front doors. Then Landon followed, running. I stood up from my chair, nearly knocking over my books, and hurried to a window. I stared outside as I watched Jamie run away from Landon. I was thinking, 'Ha! Looks like she finally got her heart broken.' But then I saw Landon grab her by the shoulders and I guess he said something really mean, because then, Jamie got into her car and left Landon standing by himself on the sidewalk.
But back to today at school. In the morning before I went to school, I stopped by the photo shop to pick the pictures from the play. I didn't get a chance to look at them until later in the afternoon since I was so busy the whole morning. So before lunch, I was leafing through them with Eric and Walker showed up. The two were talking about how 'hot' Jamie looked that night. That, of course, got me boiling. It was like Jamie had somehow brainwashed every boy with her big breakthrough. That's when I came up with . . . ta-da! . . . the IDEA.
First, we went to this website that the guys really seemed to like to get a "hot girls" photo. It took about five minutes just to get them to stop staring and make the fliers already. Finally, we copied one of pictures. After that, we scanned one of the photos of Jamie onto the computer. It's a good thing Eric is good with computers, or else I wouldn't have been able to make the fliers. He opened up PS and started cropping Jamie's face. Then he pasted it onto the body with a bikini. And for a touch, we added the words VIRGIN MARY?
We printed one out, and then sneaked into the faculty room (students aren't allowed, unless they're sent). We made about 60 copies to pass out to everybody. It wasn't enough copies for everyone, but we ran out of paper. So I gave a bunch to Tracie, a bunch to Walker, and they stood on the front steps passing them out to everyone that walked by.
I kept my eyes peeled for Jamie the entire afternoon. I desperately wanted to see her face when she saw the flier. I didn't see her until lunchtime, so I ran up to her and did some sucking up. Then I invited to eat lunch with me. That was just my little way of getting her to see the flier in front of an audience. I wanted to be sure everyone saw the look of terror on her face. So I picked up one of the fliers from a table and pretended I never saw the flier before. I showed to Jamie and said, "Nice bod."
The LOOK on her face was priceless! She looked like she had lost her daddy, but the only thing she had lost was the itty-bit of popularity she had left. So everybody in the lunchroom was just laughing at her while she standing there—and then Landon showed up. Landon in his shining armor. He walked in just as Jamie was running out. He caught her in his arms (which really annoyed me) and said that it wasn't her. Then he snatched the flier I was holding out of hands, nearly giving me a huge paper cut. He walked straight to Dean and just glared at him. Then Dean said, pointing at Jamie "Hey no worder you been keeping her locked up man. I had no idea this was underneath all that."
