[Jessica is at Hudson River Park, sitting on the grass facing the Hudson and New Jersey. Beside her is Laura's still-to-be-named puppy, pouncing on a leaf blowing across the lawn.]

Brrr! It's gotten so cold all of a sudden. I can't believe it's autumn already! Before you know it, it'll be Halloween! And then Thanksgiving!

[She pats the ground and the puppy comes bounding back to her.]

Anyway, who all is going to the charity ball this weekend? I'm planning a shopping trip tomorrow after school if anyone wants to join me!

[This next part is purposely not filtered at all.]

Oh yeah! Hey, Text Guy! Hey!

[A pause.]

Jason. Yoohoo!

[She gives her most charming grin.]

Like, I know you think you're being super stealthy and stuff, but I've seen you creeping around the school. I saw you yesterday and I saw you again today, so don't try to deny it. What's the big idea? Why're you acting like such a weirdo? I know you're trying to be all scary and stuff, but sneaking around in broad daylight is not the way to do it. People are just gonna think you're a crazy stalker or something.

Yeah, but I don't want to beeee.

[sweetvalleygirl]

What? Why not?

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

Because I'd rather be at home.

Or working.

Or anything but there.

[sweetvalleygirl]

But why! Formal events are so much fun!

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

Not to me?

[sweetvalleygirl]

You went to prom, didn't you? You had fun, right?

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

That was a one-time thing.

[sweetvalleygirl]

Why? Oh my gawd, seriously!

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

Yes!? I don't exactly thrive on this kind of stuff!

[sweetvalleygirl]

Thriving on it and enjoying it are not the same thing!

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

It is pretty much the same thing!

[sweetvalleygirl]

They are like, vaguely related and stuff.

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

They are not vaaaaguely related. They are totally related.

[sweetvalleygirl]

They are like cousins.

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

Well, either way, I don't want anything to do with that family.

[sweetvalleygirl]

Then you won't mind if I ask Johnny, right?

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

W-what!?

[sweetvalleygirl]

It makes sense. I mean, we're both super attractive, so we should be going together.

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

But he's not... You..... Wha....at....

[ sob ]

[sweetvalleygirl]

Also we're both super popular.

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

But you're not... dating him....

[ said so lamely cryin ]

[sweetvalleygirl]

I know, right?!

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

That doesn't make any sense!

[sweetvalleygirl]

You don't have to date someone to go on a date with them, Jessica.

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

Ask that weird guy that doesn't go to our school!
