The Scott Podsednik Story, as Embellished by 13-Year-Old Girls

Scene: a crowded cafeteria in a middle school lunch room. A group of young girls are sitting at a table, eating Greek yogurt. Another young lady takes a seat at the table, and begins talking.

Savannah: Oh. My. God. You guys. Have you heard about Scott?

Madison: No. What?

Kelli: Duuuuuh. He and Boston broke up. He’s with Arizona now. That happened like a week ago.

Aurora: Nuh uh, Scott and Arizona are broken up now. Tyffani told me that Arizona only went out with Scott because she wanted to get with Matt Albers. She totally used him.

Savannah: Yeah, but guess what? Destiny told me that Regan said that Kaylee heard from Audra that Zoe read on Peyton’s Twitter that Scott and Boston were back together.

Aurora, Kelli, Madison, in unison: SHUT UP!

Savannah: Totally. I talked to Makayla and she told me that Aubree saw them making out by Harper’s locker.

Madison: I always knew they’d get back together. They made such a cute couple. When Philadelphia dumped Scott, and then he started going out with Boston, it just made sense, ya know?

Aurora: Yeah, but what about Craig? Wasn’t Boston going out with him after she broke up with Scott?

Kelli: I think they’re still friends. I mean, Craig’s nice, but Boston can do way better than a LOOGY.

Aurora: Totally.

Madison: Totally.

Savannah, to Kelli: So are you gonna go out with Craig now that he’s single?

Kelli: NO! I mean, I guess he’s cute or whatever…

Savannah: I KNEW IT! You love Craig! You’re gonna have all his babies!

Kelli: No I’m not!

Madison: You guys. Shut up. Here comes Scott.

Scott, walking by the table: Hello.

All Girls: Hiiiiii Scott.

Scott passes.

Aurora, whispering at first: Oh. My. God. He’s so cute. Boston is so lucky. I bet they’ll be together forever.

The bell rings. The girls disperse and walk to their respective classes. Kelli got a B- on her math test, which she found to be totally gay.
