Wow, news travels fast around this place. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. It’s not like any of us seniors is actually going to do any work the last two weeks of school.
Uh-huh. Gotta support my man!
Right. Except didn’t J.P. forbid you from attending all rehearsals of his play, because he wants you to be completely surprised by the show when you see it opening night? So…what’sreally going on, Mia?
Great. Dr. K was right. It’s all blowing up in my face. Or starting to, at least.
Well, all right. If I’m going to start telling people the truth I might as well begin with Tina…sweet, nonjudgmental, always-there-for-me Tina, my best friend and total confidante.
Right?
Actually, I’m not sure I’m going to the prom.
WHAT? Why? Mia, are you taking some kind of feminist stand against dances? Did Lilly put you up to this? I thought you guys still weren’t even speaking.
We’re speaking! You know we’re speaking. We’re…civil to each other. I mean, we have to be, since she’s the editor for theAtom this year. And no one has updated ihatemiathermopolis.com in almost two years. You know I think she still feels kind of bad about all that. Maybe.
Well—I guess so. I mean, she never did update it again after that day she was so awful to you in the caf. Maybe, whatever it was Lilly was so mad at you about, she got it out of her system that day.
Right. Either that, or she’s just totally preoccupied with theAtom .
