fandomhigh | How to Be Awesome, Tuesday, Period 3

This week, class was meeting in a regular classroom again, and Kate was perched on her desk, giving the students a little wave once they'd all come in. "Hi, and sorry about last week," she began. "Got sick, it was terrible. But I hope you had a good time with my boyfriend, and that he didn't blind anyone with his paleness."

Sorry, Bod, you really were terribly pale.

"Also since the topic was awesome in relationships, he probably undersold his own skills because seriously, dude came out here in my stead to teach you guys. He's awesome in relationships defined." It was possible your teacher was head over heels in love, kids, yeah. Feel free to double check that that cute ring really was on her middle finger instead of her ring finger. "Anyway, yeah, I hope you had a good time and that it was educational. 'Cause we're gonna move on now. And because my last week was decidedly unawesome with the sickness and all, that's what we're gonna cover today."

A beat.

"Uh, things that are unawesome," she clarified. "Not my illness, you don't need to hear crap about that. Anyway, yeah, sometimes you just need to be able to spot the things that aren't awesome in order to stay on a course of awesomeness. And that's not always so easy. Because things might seem super awesome when you're putting on a costume and posing for paintings and making like music videos and stuff, but it can turn out way less so when you have lame and skeezy dudes Skypeing you." True story. "So what I wanna discuss today is how to spot potentially unawesome things. Situations, relationships, maybe even just picking the wrong thing to drink at the wrong time, whatever you can come up with. Or you can just keep it general and talk about how something potentially unawesome might make you feel and how that could be a warning sign. Any ideas?"

"Yeah, that's an easy way," Flick told her. "But, they'll also be driving some huge truck or some expensive sports car and their muscles will have muscles. But as soon as they open their mouths and start talking, that's the best evidence you'll have."

"They sound really, really unawesome," Rapunzel said with a frown. "Have you met any here?"

She was still keeping her eyes out for thugs and men with pointy teeth. Frat boys would have to be added to the list ~~even if it didn't fit in the song.~~

Flick thought about it for a second. "Not that I can really remember but I also don't know a lot of people. Just beware if they open their mouths and a bunch of verbal diarrhea comes out, you might have a frat boy."

"I'll keep that in mind. Should I ask them if they're a frat boy, if I'm suspicious?" Rapunzel thought that was probably the best strategy, but she also wasn't totally sure if that was an insult or not.

"You can but they'll probably deny it and then ask if you wanna see their muscles," Flick quipped. "Just back away slowly if that happens."

"I don't want to be blinded by their muscles and tricked into secretly thinking they're a nice person and then it's too late and they're...frat-boying at me," Rapunzel agreed readily.

That's how it worked, right? Right.

"Then, I think you'll be safe as long as you're aware," Flick said, nodding sagely. "You know what to look out for so you'e good."
