'They're these weird Swedish nutrition bars. They're these weird nutrition bars my mom uses to lose weight.'
'Give me it.' Serenity snatched it from my hand and began to devour it.
'I really won lose a pound' she said finishing the bar.
'Oh, my God,
what are you talking about, You're so skinny.'
'Shut up.'
The weird thing about hanging out with Serenity was that I could hate her, and at the same time, I still wanted her to like me.
Same with tea. The meaner Serenity was to her, the more Tea
tried to win Serenity back. she knew it was better to be
in The D4 girls, hating life than to not be in at all. Because being with The d4 girls was like being famous. People looked at you all the time, and everybody just knew stuff about you.
- She's not even that good-looking if you really look at her.
- I don't know. Now that's she's getting fatter,
She's got pretty big jugs.
- Joey
- for get her for tonight, ok.
I could hear people getting bored with me, But I couldn't stop. It just kept coming up like word vomit
- Hey I'm in this duel final so why don't you take a night off from your double life and come. I want you to see it.
- Coolness.
'What is that smell?' Joey looked around the room
'Oh, Serenity gave me some perfume.'
'You smell like a baby prostitute.' Yugi then opened a window
'Thanks.'
-------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, I was finding any excuse I could to talk to Seto.
'I don't get this. Do you get any of this?' Seto leaned back and looked at my paper.
'Nice job,………………….' The teacher placed last weeks test on my desk Seto took a look at it '97'.
'Kind of seems like you get it'. Seto grind and continued at what he was doing.
If I was gonna keep this going, I was gonna have to really commit.
Not your best……………………. This time the paper was a 52
- How'd you do?
- Not so good.
- You know, I think I need a tutor
- I'll tutor you, if you ever wanna get together after school or
Something.
- Do you think Serenity would mind?
- No. You guys are friends. Well, maybe we just won't tell her.
------------------------after class-----------------------
So, what did you get for this one? Seto leaned over my to look at my answer sheet
Well, the first time I did it, I got a zero.
- Wrong.
- But then when I checked it, I got...
...one.
- There you go.
'I got one too.
Yeah, you have to check it because sometimes the product of two negative integers is a positive number.'
'Yeah, like negative four and negative six.'
'That's right. That's good.' He said smiling
'Well, you're a good tutor.' Seto was so close, just like clock work I leaned in even more.
'Man, look, I... I can't do this.'
- It's not fair to Serenity.
- Why do you like her?
Look, I know she can be really mean sometimes, but...
- Then why do you like her?
- Why do you?
- Look, there's good and bad to everybody. Right?
Serenity's just...
- She's just more up-front about it.
Oh, no. It was coming up. The word vomit. I didn't mean to say it, but...
'She's cheating on you!'
'What?'
'In the auditorium, she's with him there' Seto got up and ran to the auditorium and sure enough there was Serenity with another guy.
Seto walked out of the room stunted it was over like that, he walked passed me and out of the room
---------------------out by Serenity's car-------------------------
You wanna do something fun? I said.
Wanna go to Taco Bell? Mai said flipping her hair.
'I can't go to Taco Bell, I'm on an all-carb diet. God, Mai, you are so stupid!'
'Serenity, wait. Talk to me.' Mai watched as Serenity walked of leafing both of us behind.
- Nobody understands me.
- I understand you.
'You're not stupid, Mai'. I said
'No. I am, actually. I'm failing almost everything.'
'Well, there must be something you're good at.'
'I can put my whole fist in my mouth. Wanna see?'
'No. That's OK. Anything else?'
'well I can talk to fish like in the ocean'.
- What do you mean?
- It's like I have ESPN or something.
'when I was young I was swimming in the sea and I went under the water and a I could under stand what a fish was saying to me.'
'Really? That's amazing.'
'Well, it only said pop, but it was cool'
I have to admit, I was mildly horrified when Seto didn't immediately
ask me to be his girlfriend. I mean, I know he was sad,
but how much time did he need? Serenity had moved on.
But overall, the plan was going pretty well.
Seto had bumped Serenity, and she was unknowingly eating calories a day.
----------------class------------------
And finally, the nominees for
Spring Fling Queen are as follows:
Serenity wheeler
Tea granger.
And the final nominee...
... is ………………………………….
In January, Serenity had put a Spring Fling dress on hold at a store called JUILA. But being D4, she needed our advice before she could actually buy it.
Can someone zip me up?
- It won't close.
- It's to samll.
'OK, it must be marked wrong.'
'………………………, all I've been eating are these Kälteen bars. They suck.'
'No, no, this is just how they work. This is all your water weight. First you bloat, and then you drop pounds like that, Well, the Kälteen bars have burned up all your carbs, and now your body's
just running on water. But once the water's gone,
then you'll be all muscle. It explains it all on the label.
'You know Swedish?'
'Yeah, everyone in Egypt can read Swedish.'
'Ma'am, do you have this in the next size up?'
'Sorry. We only carry Sizes 0 and 6'
'You could try TK Maxxxx.'
----------------CLASS-----------------------------
'……………………………. I need your parents to sign this so they know that you're failing.'
'Failing?'
'You know what's weird about your quizzes, ………………………,is that all the work is right and just the answers are wrong.'
- Really?
- Really.
'…………………………, I know that having a boyfriend may seem like the most important thing in the world right now, but you don't have to dumb yourself down to get guys to like you.'
- How would you know?
- I know,
"How would I know", right?
'I'm divorced. I'm broke from getting divorced. The only guy that ever calls my house is Randy from Chase Visa. And you know why? Because I'm a pusher. I push people. I pushed my husband into law school. That was a bust. I pushed myself into working three jobs. And now I'm gonna push you because I know you're smarter than this.'
'Thanks, Ms. Black. And if there's anything I can do for extra credit, please let me know. Oh, I will.'
-----------------------Serenity's house---------------------
'I hate her! I mean, she's totally
failing me on purpose.' I plonked myself on Serenity's bed
'She was so queer. She was like, "I'm a pusher, ……………………….
I'm a pusher."'
'What does that even mean?
- Like a drug pusher?
- Probably.
'She said she works three jobs. You know, I bet she sells drugs
on the side. to pay for her pathetic divorce.'
'You let it out, honey.' Serenity walked over to me with the mortification astation book.
'Put it in the book.'
I know it may look like I'd become a bitch, but that's only because
I was acting like a bitch.
-----------------on the phone 2 yugi-----------------------------
- Hey, I called you last night. How come you didn't call me back?
- Oh, I got busy. Sorry.
- So you need a ride to my big Duel this weekend?
- No. I have to go to Madison with my parents. I'm so sorry.
- Well, you wanna watch a movie tonight?
- Can't. I'm doing major D4 sabotage tonight.
- But we don't have anything planned for tonight.
- Oh, I planned this one on my own. Love you. Bye.
------------on the phone to Serenity-----------
- Tea thinks you're mad at her because she's running
for Spring Fling Queen.
- Oh, my God, I'm not mad at her. I'm worried about her. I think
somebody nominated her as a joke or something. And when nobody
votes for her, she's gonna have a total meltdown.
- And who's gonna have to take care of her? Me.
- So you don't think anyone will vote for her?
- ……………………, she's not pretty. I mean, that sounds bad, but whatever.
The Spring Fling Queen is always pretty. Anyway, I gotta go. I'm going to bed.
'Well, she's not mad at you.' I said to tea on the other side of the 3 way call.
