Journalism Class - Wednesday October 5

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Outside the door of the Journalism Classroom is a sandwich board which reads:

Emergency Political Headquarters for the Student Newspaper
Free food, drink and computer terminals within.

Inside, Spider is again distracted, working on something on his laptop. The screen behind him is lit up, however, and reads the following:

Attention Students:

Today's discussion topic, as most of you have guessed, is 'Ugliness'. I am going somewhere with this, be patient. I'm also not participating yet for a very specific reason.

The rest of the screens are dark and in the back of the classroom are several large coffee machines, a huge tray of various pastries and sandwiches and a small refridgerator and microwave. Arranged in that area are several computers obviously borrowed from the school lab and a large sign that reads:

Emergency Political Headquarters

"I think hot pink and sequins goes with everything," Angela says, mock-solemn. "Plus, we kind of gave up on being 100 percent Breakfast Club when we realized everybody else was being formal. Though Rory still has to wear the eyeliner."

George tries to glare at Angela, but can't stop herself from smiling. "It *is* a pretty dress. Not normally my style, but, hey, it was free." She sighed. "Now I just need to figure out what to do with my hair."

Angela tilts her head to one side, considering George. "The dress is so fancy that you don't really need anything big," she says. "Maybe just a chignon? And stick a big pink flower in it."

She laughs. "God, I sound so freaking girly."

George shrugs. "Maybe being girly isn't so bad somtimes. Like when it comes to Homecoming dances."

Angela chews on her pen. "It definitely doesn't suck to look pretty sometimes," she says. "I mean, I love being a girl, just..." she wrinkles her nose. "I don't like the idea of being all hyper-hyper girly all the time. You know?"

George nods. "I generally find the hyper-girly annoying."
