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?"

"Ignore the frat boys," Flick said since that was the only thing he could think of. "All they do is bring unawesome things and douchey haircuts."

Generalizing frat boys? Probably but he didn't care.

"I think it's important to know who to listen to," Rapunzel offered shyly, raising her hand. "I mean, if you have a friend who tells you how unawesome you are all the time, well, you're gonna believe them after awhile, right? And vice versa."

She'd maybe been thinking about that a little, since being away from her mother and finding -- dare she say it -- actual friends here. Not that she was ready to say that Mother was anything less than an awesome parent, but still.

"What's a frat boy?"

To be fair, Rapunzel probably wasn't the only one who was going to wonder about that. She also didn't know what 'douchey' meant, but she'd get there.

"Cocky, self centered, meatheaded, beer guzzlers who think they're God's gift to women and men and who will tell you that in no uncertain terms," Flick told her. "Best to avoid them."

"And I can recognize them by their bad haircuts?" Rapunzel guessed, nodding seriously. She didn't think she wanted anything to do with these people, by the sounds of it. Ugh. Like ruffians, but worse.

"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."

"Definitely," Raven agreed. "Though I'm not sure someone like that can really be called a 'friend'."

"People who spend all their time trying to start arguments because they think making people mad is funny." So, you know, internet trolls. "Very unawesome."

"Maybe," Rapunzel agreed with a little frown as she played with her hair a little. "I mean, sometimes you know people for a long time and it's hard to think of them any other way, even if they say mean things to you, right?"

"If you've known them long enough, and they're important to you, then you should be able to tell them to stop being mean," Raven said. Huh, now she was suddenly thinking about Charles. "Though I guess sometimes if it's been happening long enough, it's not always easy to tell that it is mean."
