well, yeah. who said i wasn't?
zoegirl:
okay, i'm outta here. i'm meeting doug to study.
SnowAngel:
at 10 o'clock on sunday morning?!
zoegirl:
just because it's spring semester of our senior year doesn't mean we can slack off!
Sun, Feb 12, 11:23 AM, E.S.T.
SnowAngel:
maddie, i'm sorry to report that our zoe has gone over the edge. i fear she's becoming ONE OF THOSE.
mad maddie:
one of what?
SnowAngel:
you know, one of those girls whose lives revolve around their boyfriends. she hung out with him all last nite, and now she's off with him AGAIN—on a sunday morning when she should be lounging around with messy hair and eating lucky charms from the box!
mad maddie:
let's see, three guesses what UR doing right now?
SnowAngel:
*sniffs and pops special edition multi-colored whale into mouth*
mad maddie:
doug JUST got back in town. she's excited, that's all.
SnowAngel:
i guess *looks miffed anyway*
SnowAngel:
can i tell u something pervy?
mad maddie:
absolutely
SnowAngel:
last nite after dinner, the 4 of us went and played pool at coop's. then we went back to zoe's house and watched HBO, her and doug on one sofa and me and logan on the other. and the lights were off and the door was closed and zoe's parents weren't home … and it turned into this weird double Let's All Make Out session. is that sick? that's sick, isn't it?
mad maddie:
u were going at it in the same room? all 4 of u?
SnowAngel:
i know! there was this pretense that we were watching the movie, but no one was, and it was just … icky!
mad maddie:
so why'd u do it?
SnowAngel:
i dunno! cuz everybody just … did. AND cuz i didn't have any choice after the whole "angela's after doug" debacle. not that i'm still obsessing over that.
mad maddie:
paranoia will destroy ya …
SnowAngel:
it's like, i had to make even more of an effort than normal to be all rah-rah about logan, while at the same time NOT act in any possible way that could be considered flirty toward doug.
SnowAngel:
but i also had to be jokey and normal with doug, cuz otherwise it would be like admitting that those rumors had actually existed. oh, and that i cared.
SnowAngel:
it was exhausting.
mad maddie:
so to counteract those rumors, you said, "what the hell, let's have an orgy"?
SnowAngel:
at one point i heard doug whisper something to zoe about "lower, lower," and zoe giggled in an aren't-we-naughty kind of way. it was some random private joke, obviously, but it gave logan ideas, and i had to take his hand and move it higher higher higher. i was like. "logan, NO. we r not doing that in zoe's house with zoe and doug five feet away!!!"
mad maddie:
u realize yr oversharing
SnowAngel:
and of course it made me think about your "hot and bothered" comment, which pissed me off.
SnowAngel:
so then zoe messaged me on facebook this morning to do a post-op on the date, and she was all glowing and giddy and a LITTLE embarrassed, but not nearly embarrassed enuff. it just made me think, what is my life coming to?
mad maddie:
zoe's in love. it's sweet.
mad maddie:
altho they do need to get their own room.
SnowAngel:
*shakes off whole experience*
SnowAngel:
i'm going to have a purging ritual, that's what i'm gonna do. aunt sadie bought this high-tech body wash yesterday with glycolic acid in it, and she said i could try it out. supposedly it makes you itch like crazy, but afterward yr all silky and soft.
mad maddie:
uh, sure, dude. enjoy your acid bath. as for me, i'm gonna park my butt in front of the TV and have a Netflix marathon. i'm talking all day and deep into the night … cuz tomorrow senior privileges kick in!!! yeah!!!
SnowAngel:
aunt sadie is so confused about that, btw. she was like, "you mean, until now you COULDN'T sleep in? even if you had a free period 1st thing in the morning?" she thinks high school is like college or something.
mad maddie:
or maybe she just doesn't get the idea of NOT sleeping in. maybe she doesn't realize that other ppl have bosses/teachers who care.
SnowAngel:
i am very jealous that you'll be in your warm cozy bed while i'm in 1st period french.
mad maddie:
oh, babe. i feel for ya!
Mon, Feb 13, 4:15 PM E.S.T.
zoegirl:
hey, angela. i'm at java joe's… and guess who's working the counter?
SnowAngel:
who?
zoegirl:
margo pedersen! i'm the only customer, so she came over and hung out for a while. and angela, she broke up with ian!!!
SnowAngel:
ian??? maddie's ian?
zoegirl:
well, ian who *used* to be maddie's ian.
SnowAngel:
but he never got over her, so i can still call him that.
SnowAngel:
when did margo break up with him? and why?
zoegirl:
today—and the reason she gave is cuz she doesn't want "a long-term commitment" when she goes to college.
zoegirl:
she said she figured that since they were gonna break up anyway, they might as well do it now. she was all, "i don't want to be tied down. i wanna enjoy my senior year."
SnowAngel:
she cldn't enjoy it with ian?
zoegirl:
that's what i said. and she said, "look, zoe. you and doug, if that's what you want, that's great. but i'm 18 yrs old, i'm not ready to settle down."
zoegirl:
she was pretty condescending, actually. like she felt sorry for me because i *was* settled down.
SnowAngel:
i'm sure she didn't mean it that way
zoegirl:
no, she did. but that just means that what she and ian had wasn't as real as what doug and i have.
SnowAngel:
so ian's a free agent, huh? *taps chin*
zoegirl:
but to break up with him the day before valentine's day, isn't that harsh?
SnowAngel:
crap—valentine's day!
zoegirl:
why "crap"?
SnowAngel:
nothing, nvm
zoegirl:
???
SnowAngel:
i don't have anything for logan, that's all. i thought saturday nite was our valentine's day deal. i thought that was our whole celebration. but yesterday logan said something about a "valentine's surprise," which means he's planning something else, which means i have to too. crap!
zoegirl:
go out and get him something. it's not hard.
SnowAngel:
what are you giving doug?
zoegirl:
a unicycle
SnowAngel:
a UNICYCLE?
zoegirl:
i found it on craigslist. isn't that the perfect doug gift?
SnowAngel:
great, a unicycle
SnowAngel:
yr gonna make me look bad here, zo
zoegirl:
make logan something homemade, like certificates for one free snuggle. i'm doing that too. i cut the certificates out of fancy stationery and decorated them with love stickers.
SnowAngel:
i can't do that. he'd think i copied you
zoegirl:
you don't have to get him something big, just give him something from the heart.
zoegirl:
want me to go shopping with you?
SnowAngel:
no, that's ok
zoegirl:
you sure? i'd be happy to.
SnowAngel:
i'm sure.
Mon, Feb 13, 4:46 PM E.S.T.
SnowAngel:
maddie, i'm a bad person!!!!
mad maddie:
why, what'd you do?
SnowAngel:
tomorrow's valentine's day, and logan has a "surprise" for me. but i have nothing for him!
mad maddie:
u need a ride to the mall?
SnowAngel:
zoe already offered, and i turned her down. wanna know why?
mad maddie:
why?
SnowAngel:
cuz i didn't WANT to go valentine's day shopping with zoe. i didn't want to hear her go on and on about how in love she is when … when …
mad maddie:
when what?
mad maddie:
once and for all, just say it.
SnowAngel:
*turns into a tiny person with a very tiny voice*
SnowAngel:
when maybe i'm not. in love. *crawls under a rock and puts hands over head*
mad maddie:
bravo, angela. clap, clap, clap.
SnowAngel:
you've known it all along, i know. and maybe i have too—or maybe it took seeing how truly head-over-heels zoe is to realize how un-head-over-heels i am.
SnowAngel:
know what the worst part is? all this tension over not feeling in love with logan is making it hard to even have fun with him. when normally i DO have fun with him, lots of fun. just … more as a friend.
mad maddie:
i'm soooo proud of you, a. if i were there, i'd give you a shiny gold star.
SnowAngel:
the whole stupid rumor thing didn't help either, cuz it was like everybody could c what i couldn't. not that i was lusting after doug, just that i WASN'T lusting after logan.
SnowAngel:
altho i think it finally died out, don't you? the rumors?
mad maddie:
uh …
SnowAngel:
ok, if you have to say "uh," don't answer.
SnowAngel:
but about logan—what am i gonna do? just this afternoon he left a cherry mash for me in my locker, cuz he knows they're my fave. he's such a good guy. i don't wanna hurt him!!!
mad maddie:
you gotta cut him loose, angela. you have no choice.
SnowAngel:
but not the day before valentine's day! then i'd be just like
SnowAngel:
OMG, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU! MARGO PEDERSEN BROKE UP WITH IAN!!!
mad maddie:
whoa, tone it down
SnowAngel:
isn't that great? *happy dance, happy dance*
SnowAngel:
now you two can get back together!
mad maddie:
angela, yr un-frickin-believable! one second yr moaning and groaning over logan, and the next yr jumping up and down about ian?
SnowAngel:
i feel better now that i've gotten the logan thing off my chest.
SnowAngel:
*pats self in the chesty region* i do! i feel so much better!
mad maddie:
well lucky u, but what about logan?
SnowAngel:
i guess yr right—i have to break up with him. just not today, that would be heartless.
SnowAngel:
altho it prolly won't be as awful as i think. cuz when one person isn't into it anymore, usually the other person isn't either, right?
mad maddie:
no
SnowAngel:
what do you mean, no? the correct answer is yes, you blockhead!
mad maddie:
uh huh. that's why there's so many songs about broken hearts. that's why ppl shoot their exes out of jealousy. cuz everyone's like, "oh, you want to break up? great! no problem! that's what i want too!"
SnowAngel:
oh shut up *scowls at friend*
SnowAngel:
i can't believe you suggested that logan might SHOOT me!
mad maddie:
i did not just suggest
mad maddie:
grrrr
SnowAngel:
logan is not going to shoot me. logan might be sad, but logan'll be ok, and ultimately he'll be better off with someone who appreciates him.
SnowAngel:
and now enuff about logan. aren't you excited to hear about ian?
mad maddie:
angela … don't, k?
SnowAngel:
but why????
mad maddie:
i know it's this huge fantasy of yours that ian and i get back together, but whatever we once had … it was a long time ago.
SnowAngel:
but
mad maddie:
shush
SnowAngel:
if only you'd
mad maddie:
LET. IT. GO.
SnowAngel:
is it cuz of vincent?
mad maddie:
omg, yr unbelievable
mad maddie:
no, angela, it's not cuz of vincent. it's just that we don't ALL need a boyfriend to make our lives feel complete.
SnowAngel:
you're no fun at all
mad maddie:
sure i am. i'm tons of fun.
SnowAngel:
guess i better go buy logan a v-day present since yr being such a poop. tootles!
Tues, Feb 14, 5:02 PM E.S.T.
mad maddie:
happy valentine's day, zo! wasn't that sweet what the senior guys did?
zoegirl:
soooo sweet. totally sweet!
mad maddie:
i wonder who came up with it? can you imagine a bunch of guys sitting around and one of them saying, "hey, here's a thought: let's deliver a bag of candy hearts to every girl in the senior class!"
zoegirl:
what *i* can't believe is that doug managed to keep it a secret from me. he told me later that he made sure my bag had extra candy, though. because he is a big sweetie.
mad maddie:
how'd the big sweetie like his unicycle?
zoegirl:
he's out in my backyard right now, trying to get the hang of it. i can see him clinging to a tree branch, attempting to get his balance.
mad maddie:
ha
mad maddie:
what'd he get u?
zoegirl:
a pair of hand-crafted earrings from somalia. he bought them when they docked there and saved them all this time. they're gorgeous.
mad maddie:
uh huh. well, isn't that nice.
mad maddie:
wanna know what i got for v-day? go ahead. ask.
zoegirl:
uh oh …
mad maddie:
A FRICKIN EMAIL CHAIN LETTER! FROM GLENDY!!!
zoegirl:
oh no! what did this 1 say?
mad maddie:
the subject line was "have a heart" (cuz it's v-day, get it?) and the message said, "hi, i am a 29-yr-old father whose baby has some terrible gut-wrenching disease. please forward this to your 2 million closest friends, cuz if you do then we'll get 32 cents a message and we can pay for our poor baby's operation." it ends with, "if you delete this … you seriously don't have a heart."
zoegirl:
ouch
zoegirl:
you deleted it, didn't you?
mad maddie:
on the bottom was a picture of a naked baby, butt in the air. there was a ribbon wrapped around the baby with a tag that said "from god."
zoegirl:
oh no!
mad maddie:
yr laffing, aren't u?
zoegirl:
i just think it's hysterical that you get chain letter thingies from glendy and you actually read them. you get what you deserve.
mad maddie:
gee, thx for your sympathy
zoegirl:
i get glendy's emails too, but they go straight to "junk" and i delete them. i don't understand why you don't.
mad maddie:
i dunno, cuz i'm perversely curious to c what horror she's dredged up next?
zoegirl:
then you can't complain about them.
mad maddie:
yes i can. that's the whole point.
zoegirl:
maybe she'll apply to santa cruz, since she's in-state. maybe you guys can room together.
mad maddie:
should i kill myself now?
mad maddie:
one of these days i'm gonna write her back. i'm just waiting for the right moment.
zoegirl:
be sure to tell me when you do. *that* i want to see.
zoegirl:
hey, have you heard from angela? i called her, but she didn't pick up—probably she's with logan. he found me today after french and told me he's got some great surprise for her. he was verrrrrrrry excited.
mad maddie:
oh man
mad maddie:
you know she wants to break up with him, right?
zoegirl:
WHAT?
zoegirl:
why???
mad maddie:
cuz she finally admitted that he's more like a brother than a lover. ooo, that would make a good country song, wldn't it?
zoegirl:
but that's not true! if you'd seen them on saturday … she sure wasn't *kissing* him like a brother!
mad maddie:
cuz she was faking, and deep down you know it. you just want her to be in love with logan so that angela and logan can be twinsies with you and doug.
zoegirl:
that's ridiculous
mad maddie:
plus it made it easier for you to blow off those rumors, cuz if she was firmly with logan then of course she wasn't flirting with your bf.
zoegirl:
oh god, maddie
zoegirl:
you should have seen logan when he was telling me about her v-day surprise. he was like, "she likes blue, doesn't she? i know pink's her favorite color, but pink wasn't an option. but blue's good too, don't you think?"
zoegirl:
he was so excited!
mad maddie:
see, there's the imbalance. he was so excited, and she was like, "oh, crap. valentine's day."
zoegirl:
you're depressing me. this whole conversation is depressing me.
zoegirl:
first margo and ian, and now angela and logan?
mad maddie:
it's senior year. these things happen.
zoegirl:
i hate that attitude! just because it's senior yr doesn't mean everything has to fall apart—and people should just keep their mouths shut if all they're gonna be is negative.
mad maddie:
by "ppl," do you mean me?
zoegirl:
no, not you
zoegirl:
but ok, take this for example. do you know what jana said to me today, totally out of nowhere? she stopped me in the hall and goes, "how are things with your boyfriend? keeping him on a short leash?"
mad maddie:
heh?
zoegirl:
she said it with a smirk, as if he *needs* to be kept on a leash. i guess she's been hearing those stupid rumors too. or … omigosh.
mad maddie:
what?
zoegirl:
was she the one who STARTED those rumors???
mad maddie:
holy frickin crap!
zoegirl:
all this time i've been thinking, whew, i got off easy with the whole Boo Boo Bear encounter. a couple thousand death stares, but nothing more.
zoegirl:
was this her way of getting me back, by planting rumors about angela and doug?
mad maddie:
jesus, how could we have been so STUPID?!
mad maddie:
AND she has homeroom with paige. we're such idiots!
zoegirl:
we don't know for SURE that it was her …
mad maddie:
if it was, she's going to pay!!!
Tues, Feb 14, 8:42 PM E.S.T.
SnowAngel:
LADIES! i haz news! you both out there?
mad maddie:
angela, where have you been? i've been calling forever!
SnowAngel:
i know, but i was unable to answer the phone. wanna know why?
zoegirl:
why?
SnowAngel:
cuz i was 2 busy DRIVING MY JEEP!!!!!! *squeals and laffs spazerifically*
zoegirl:
your jeep? what jeep?
mad maddie:
wait a minute, please don't tell me …
zoegirl:
no
SnowAngel:
yes
mad maddie:
NO
SnowAngel:
YES!
zoegirl:
LOGAN GAVE YOU A *JEEP*???
SnowAngel:
i know, isn't it incredible?!
SnowAngel:
he took me to collier park and led me to the playground area, and parked on the street was this sweet baby-blue Suzuki Samurai. he goes, "nice car," and i said, "yeah." he goes, "you should take it for a ride," and i was like, "uh huh, sure, whatever." and he goes, "no, seriously. look—the keys r in the ignition." and i was like, "what dummy left the keys in the ignition?"
SnowAngel:
finally he took me by the shoulders, looked me in the eyes, and said, "angela, it's yours. happy valentine's day."
mad maddie:
whoa, that's a helluva v-day present
SnowAngel:
his uncle IS the decatur car king, you know. i've given him so much hell over those cheesy radio commercials, but now i'm like, "car king, i love you!!!"
SnowAngel:
OMG!!! I HAVE A JEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
zoegirl:
but angela … you can't *keep* it!
SnowAngel:
why not?
zoegirl:
you know why! cuz yr planning on breaking up with him!
SnowAngel:
maddie! *growls at friend*
mad maddie:
oops—guess i let the cat out of the bag
SnowAngel:
*regains composure like a glorious summer day*
SnowAngel:
well OBVIOUSLY i'm not gonna break up with him now! duh!
zoegirl:
cuz he gave you a *car*?
SnowAngel:
yep
SnowAngel:
i mean, what an amazingly generous thing! he's like … oprah!
mad maddie:
i can't believe he gave you a jeep—altho that does show good taste on his part. if your parents were here, no way would they let you keep it.
SnowAngel:
but they're not, and aunt sadie thinks it's extremely romantic. she's gonna put me on her insurance, and we're just gonna … not exactly mention it, that's all.
zoegirl:
angela, i can't get my head around this. how much do you think he spent?
SnowAngel:
$2000, he told me. his uncle cut him a deal.
zoegirl:
two thousand dollars???
SnowAngel:
it's used. der. but logan sez it's been really well maintained (whatever that means).
zoegirl:
angela, i think that's … vz
zoegirl:
i mean, it's incredibly nice …
mad maddie:
MORE than nice
zoegirl:
but it just doesn't seem right. you can't just give someone a CAR!
SnowAngel:
well, he did
zoegirl:
what did you give him?
SnowAngel:
erm … a very lovely gift certificate to barnes & noble
mad maddie:
for how much?
SnowAngel:
that hardly matters, now does it?
mad maddie:
you need to give it back.
SnowAngel:
i'm not giving it back.
mad maddie:
but you don't even love him!
SnowAngel:
love can grow! love can bloom!
zoegirl:
ANGELA!!!
mad maddie:
ohhhh, i just figured out what's going on here. zoe's rethinking those hand-crafted earrings … aren't you, zo?
zoegirl:
what?! i *adore* my earrings!
zoegirl:
r you suggesting i'd rather have a car?
mad maddie:
heavens, no. who in their right mind would rather have a car than earrings?
SnowAngel:
you guys, please don't spoil this for me. you KNOW how much i've wanted a car, for like my whole life. and logan wanted to do this—for me.
SnowAngel:
i think everyone should just be happy, k?
mad maddie:
come pick us up—i wanna see these wheels of yours!
mad maddie:
plus, we've got news to share about our evil nemesis, the dragon lady.
zoegirl:
we've MAYBE got news. MAYBE.
SnowAngel:
i'll be right over
SnowAngel:
zoe, you in?
zoegirl:
ohhh … ok. i've just gotta call doug and tell him i'll be late for our study date.
SnowAngel:
there in a flash, chickies. i'll be the one in the jeep!!!!
Wed, Feb 15, 6:33 PM E.S.T.
mad maddie:
hey, a. i saw yr "zoom zoom zoom" status, so i am making the wildly brilliant deduction that you're out driving yr jeep.
mad maddie:
txt me when you get in, k? i hunted down jana. i want to give you the full report!
Wed, Feb 15, 10:39 PM E.S.T.
SnowAngel:
hey, mads. sorry i missed you.
mad maddie:
that's ok. how's the jeep?
SnowAngel:
*sighs in rapture*
SnowAngel:
jeep is WONDERFUL. i feel like such a princess!
mad maddie:
you R a princess
SnowAngel:
i'm gonna treat logan right, i really am. i think i wasn't being fair to him … before.
mad maddie:
ehh, what will be, will be. i'm washing my hands of it.
mad maddie:
ready to hear what happened with jana?
SnowAngel:
*sits criss-cross-apple-sauce at maddie's feet* spill!
mad maddie:
i was totally straight-up. i cornered her by her locker and said, "did you tell paige jensen that zoe said angela needed to keep her hormones to herself?"
SnowAngel:
*blushes* i really don't like hearing it put that way, even if zoe DIDN'T say it.
mad maddie:
being the callous and soul-less person she is, jana laughed and said, "no, but i wish i did. that's priceless!" so i said, "bullshit. you tried to get zoe in trouble with angela, but it didn't work. zoe would have never said that about angela, and angela would have never believed zoe said it anyway."
SnowAngel:
except we both did. just for a teeny tiny second … but still.
mad maddie:
jana doesn't need to know that. what matters is that your friendship was strong enough to get thru it.
SnowAngel:
OUR friendship, all 3 of ours. you talked us thru it, ya know.
mad maddie:
nonetheless, jana tried to screw with us, and she must face the consequences.
SnowAngel:
IF she really was the one who said it …
mad maddie:
oh, she was. her smugness was undeniable.
SnowAngel:
did you tell zo? is she mad?
mad maddie:
she is, but not mad ENOUGH
mad maddie:
i told her i was gonna get jana back, and she was all, "no, no, just leave it." but it's about sticking up for what you believe in—and i believe in us.
SnowAngel:
so wha'cha gonna do?
mad maddie:
i don't know, but i'll think of something!
Wed, Feb 15, 10:47 PM E.S.T.
SnowAngel:
zo? are you tweeting lyrics from weird esoteric indie bands? are you becoming THAT GIRL???
SnowAngel:
it's cuz of doug, isn't it?
SnowAngel:
uh huh. i'm looking up the "so look to the stars" line …
SnowAngel:
omg, i soooo called it! it's from that band he was talking about yesterday! This Season's Color or This Season's Spice or … something. omg, zoe, plz keep liking your OWN music? plz???
SnowAngel:
or maybe the star song is great. i dunno. GRRRR.
SnowAngel:
either way, i was just txting to giggle about maddie and how bad-ass she's being. i think she sees it as defending our honor, which is sooo sweet. what do you think she's gonna do???
SnowAngel:
i also wanted to tell you that i've re-thought the whole logan thing for real, and i don't think i've been giving him a fair chance. we were in a rut, that's all. but he's a great guy. he's a wonderful guy, and i would be insane to throw that away.
SnowAngel:
and no, it's not just the jeep.
SnowAngel:
i thought you'd be happy to hear that, that's all!
SnowAngel:
PS—i'm not TOTALLY superficial. i mean, i like looking at stars too.
Thu, Feb 16, 10:14 AM, E.S.T.
mad maddie:
hungry! hunnnngry!
SnowAngel:
go to snack machine. buy delicious food item. insert delicious food item into mouth.
mad maddie:
can't. i'm supposedly recording grades for ms. hathoway. i'm also working on a brilliant way to get back at jana, but don't ask what it is.
SnowAngel:
what is it?
mad maddie:
i just told you, i'm not telling! let's just say it's a friendly reminder that all actions come with repercussions.
SnowAngel:
when will this friendly reminder take place?
mad maddie:
hopefully tomorrow, so stay alert.
SnowAngel:
yes, ma'am. so i'm googling jeep accessories, and i'm considering a "cherry" theme—do you think that would be stupid? like, they have steering wheel covers and all that, all decorated with cherries.
mad maddie:
my brother mark has a sheepskin steering wheel cover.
SnowAngel:
i don't want a sheepskin steering wheel cover. i want a cherry steering wheel cover. shld I poll my english class?
mad maddie:
i'm sure mrs. mahan wld love that. excellent use of class time.
mad maddie:
hey, i talked to vincent during culture studies, and he's having a party tomorrow night. happy time!
SnowAngel:
uh oh. you say happy time, i say DANGER. is this when you guys r finally gonna end up in a closet with your hands all over each other?
mad maddie:
god, angela, could we get off that already? seriously.
SnowAngel:
i'm just *teasing*
mad maddie:
well stop. it's like you're refusing to let me be an actual mature adult.
SnowAngel:
an actual mature adult who's salivating over the prospect of a parent-free house party with an endless supply of beer?
mad maddie:
exactly
SnowAngel:
wh-hoo! then i'll be the designated driver—IN MY JEEP!
mad maddie:
i'm all over that. l8rs!
Fri, Feb 17, 9:06 AM E.S.T.
mad maddie:

SnowAngel:
wahhhhh! no fair! mary kate told me i missed it!!!!
mad maddie:
aw, man! it was classic. WHY WERE YOU NOT IN HOMEROOM TO HEAR IT?
SnowAngel:
cuz i forgot my shoes. *bonks head on desk* i got all the way to school, and then i was like, "oh, crap. i'm barefoot!"
mad maddie:
god, angela. only you.
SnowAngel:
well if you had TOLD me you were gonna plant a phony announcement, maybe i would have been there on time!
SnowAngel:
mary kate said you got the office lady to call jana out as a liar in front of the whole school???
mad maddie:
please, it was far more sophisticated than that.
mad maddie:
it said, and i quote, "congratulations to jana whitaker, winner of our first annual liars club award. jana, your free copy of 'Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them' can be picked up at the office."
SnowAngel:
noooooo!
mad maddie:
loretta, she's the office lady, wanted to know what the liars club was, and i told her it was a student organization dedicated to rooting out social injustice. she was like, "it's so nice to see young ppl getting involved in a worthwhile cause."
SnowAngel:
is there an actual book called "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them"?
mad maddie:
yeppers. i saw it one day on mark and pelt-woman's coffee table, and i remembered the title. i went to B&N last night and bought a copy.
SnowAngel:
that's awesome
SnowAngel:
how did ppl react when they heard the announcement? how did JANA react?
mad maddie:
megan said jana tried to play it off as "ha ha, very funny," but that it clearly got under her skin. even if ppl didn't know the full story, they know jana, and they could put 2 and 2 together.
mad maddie:
she said jana and terri spent all homeroom talking about what a bitch i was, but do i care? no, i do not.
SnowAngel:
jana and terri r tight again?
mad maddie:
i guess. but megan said that as soon as jana was out of the room, terri turned to margaret and was like, "i'm sorry, but that was too perfect!" and then they both cracked up.
SnowAngel:
i can't believe i missed it. *pouts*
SnowAngel:
what's gonna happen when jana never shows up at the office to pick up her book?
mad maddie:
i hope loretta will announce it again. and when jana still doesn't show up, i'm hoping she'll have someone deliver it to her in person.
SnowAngel:
you r bad, maddie—and i luv it!
