âmadiganâs pantaloonsâ only got 3.
zoegirl:
distraction therapy, you say?
mad maddie:
3, i tell u! this is muy impressive!
zoegirl:
iâm not sure iâm grasping the point of all this â¦
mad maddie:
the point is that there IS no point. it keeps me from thinking about angela, thatâs all.
mad maddie:
but since U made me think about her againâthanks a lotâdo u think sheâs coming to dylanâs party tonight?
zoegirl:
i donât know. sheâs pretty depressed.
mad maddie:
which is exactly why she needs to come.
mad maddie:
what about u? are u coming?
zoegirl:
i have to work firstâi picked up a shift since we have tomorrow off. but iâll swing by after.
mad maddie:
ooo, you picked up a shift at Kidding Around? nudge-nudge, know what i mean, know what i mean?
zoegirl:
maddie? youâre trying to make a sex joke about a childcare facility.
mad maddie:
itâs a stupid name. i canât help it.
mad maddie:
so shld i invite chive to dylanâs? i wanna invite him to do SOMETHING, only i donât want it to be boring, which iâm fairly sure dylanâs wonât be. do you follow dylan on twitter?
zoegirl:
i did, but it made me want to buy him âhooked on phonics.â HIS SPELLING MAKES ME CRINGE! so i muted him.
mad maddie:
HA. well, apparently there will be copious amounts of beer.
zoegirl:
dylanâs an idiot to tweet that. what if his parents see it?
zoegirl:
tonnie wyndhamâs in my english class, and last week she said on facebook how sheâd plagiarized her book review. only ms. griffith found out, because ms. griffith surfs the net and types in her studentsâ names.
mad maddie:
that girl needs to change her privacy settings.
mad maddie:
she doesnât seem to have much interest in privacyâor shld i say boundariesâin the first place, tho. today in health, she asked how many calories r in a tablespoon of sperm.
zoegirl:
ewww!
mad maddie:
wanna know the answer? 9.
zoegirl:
that is revolting. mrs. wayker actually knew?
mad maddie:
guess itâs not the first time itâs come up.
mad maddie:
haâcome up, get it?
zoegirl:
i am *never* giving anyone a blow job, not even my husband.
mad maddie:
bullshit. u totally will.
zoegirl:
why would you say that? itâs disgusting!
mad maddie:
prude, prude, prude. when u find the person who makes u GLOW, uâll go down on him quick as a wink. and then HEâLL glow. youâll blow; heâll glow.
mad maddie:
god, iâm on a roll. this stuff just comes out of meâi donât even have to try.
zoegirl:
maddie, thereâs nothing here for you to be proud of. hate to break it to you.
mad maddie:
blah blah blah. iâm gonna make the bold move and call chive, and then iâll text angela and tell her that sheâs required to go too.

mad maddie:

mad maddie:
more importantly, itâll get u out of yr funk. uâve been moping about in your room ever since u got home from school, havenât u?
SnowAngel:
yes and no. i was moping for a while, but it wasnât helping, and all i could think about was how terrible everything is. so i rode my bike to little five points to clear my head.
mad maddie:
huh. exercise. not familiar with the concept.
mad maddie:
did it work?
SnowAngel:
well, itâs not like iâm leaping up and down for joy, but i donât feel QUITE so suicidal anymore.
SnowAngel:
wanna know why?
mad maddie:
er ⦠why?
SnowAngel:
cuz of what happened when i got back home, which i am calling my GREAT BRACELETBREAKTHROUGH. *strikes a tragically romantic pose* even in these darkest of times, i found a light at the end of the tunnel.
mad maddie:
angela, what the hell r u
