Gina Thinks About Going to The Library

Because then she could take out some books. They don't have books anymore, just computers. They have kids books. Those are good. Instead she plays computer solitaire. She imagines that Gabe is impressed by how jadedly she plays. But the truth is Gabe is too not caring to even notice how much she doesn't care.

Hey, Gabe. Can I do your homework for you? Is there anything else I can do?

I don't know.

On FB. Gabe, hey, you look bored.

No. Just don't care. See you.

But she wasn't done chatting. But he was. She could still go to the library. It's stupid and the librarian will be happy if she asks for books. It's a lot of pressure.

Gina goes to Wawa

She intended to buy carrots and a banana. Somehow she has a hot chocolate and an Italian hoagie. This is not because of magic but because her brain is telling her she needs calories, but the magazines are telling her she needs to starve. She has chosen her brain over the magazines.

The magazines are also everyone else. So its her against the world. In that way, as she eats her hoagie, she is a hero like the hero in that Ibsen play, "Enemy of the People" or Gandhi But Gandhi never ate an Italian hoagie.

Instead of Prom

Gina imagines that she is crowned queen. That is stupid though. Prom Queen is some dumb chauvinist thing. She'd rather just be the hottest girl there. That's not very good feminism either. She should do something productive tonight, like design her own dress and wear it to school, or write a feminist critique of "Vampire Diaries".

She plays the next episode of "Vampire Diaries".

She got kicked out of prom because she flipped a desk and called a teacher a chauvinist because he didn't teach, just talked to pretty girls, and talked about what a big deal he was. Well. She didn't flip a desk, and she didn't tell him, she wrote it on the board, but one of the pretty girls told on her. She hopes the pretty girl who told on her lives a stupid life of being a stupid object with no sense of self, and turn forty and ugly and realizes that she is a vacuum.

Gina Doesn't Go to Prom

Gina was going to go with all-star John. He found another date. She stayed home and watched, "Vampire Diaries".

"This show sucks," she said, but she kept watching it. "Prom sucks," she said. "All-star John sucks," she said.

Gina leaves

Gina got a call from the discipline office. Everyone in the class said, "Uooh." Gina said, "I don't care if I get in trouble. I believed in the things I did." Then she got told she couldn't go to prom. She cried and came back to class with red eyes. That was bad. But nobody said anything about how she didn't care.

Gina Shows Up

Gina came to class. She tripped. The class laughed. Then she earned an A on the test. The class cheered.

The End
