• During lunch you usually:

  • Sit at a table with your friends, eat your brownbag lunch, and gab about boys and other things.
  • Down a sandwich before going to tutor a younger student, you’ve got commitments after all.
  • Slip off campus to layout or wander around town. Anything to get out from under those watchful eyes.
• If someone started an awful rumor about you that wasn’t true you would:

  • Find the source of the rumor and convince them it wasn’t true. You’ve got to stand up for yourself and clear your good name.
  • Rumors about you? Why would there be rumors about you? You don’t even know any gossip about anyone else.
  • Start an even worse rumor about them. Two can play at that game.
• When you’re at the pool and your crush is there you:

  • Sit on the side and dip your toes in, you’re too nervous to do anything else.
  • Jump into the water and try to play some game where you can catch his eye.
  • Saunter around the pool in your skimpiest bikini daring him to scoop you up in his strong arms and throw you in the pool.
• When you go on a date with a guy, the usual scenario is:

  • Wait, you have a date? Well, if you did, he would have to pick you up, greet your parents, pay for dinner, and have you home before curfew. Oh, and he would have to belong to your church.
  • You go to his house and hang out there. Why go out when it’s so much fun to stay in? Especially when he’s a college boy living away from home…
  • He pulls up to your house and honks. The two of you drive around and grab a slice before heading somewhere to make out until curfew.
• When a teacher asks for your help with an after-school project for an afternoon you:

  • Instantly make up and excuse as to why you can’t help out, you’ve got more important things to do.
  • Walk straight up to the hottest guy at the party and strike up a conversation.
  • Plop yourself down and wait for people to come to you.
• When getting ready for school you

  • Survey the situation and find the people that you are most comfortable with. They’re usually hanging out by the snacks or chatting in the kitchen.
  • Walk straight up to the hottest guy at the party and strike up a conversation.
  • Plop yourself down and wait for people to come to you.
