New Page #13!
This is the equivalent of asking another parent because the first one said, "No."
I finally booked my table for Wizard World Ohio. One of my favorite shows of the year because all my favorite colleagues don’t just come to my town, they stay in my house, eat my pie, and occasionally we rock out to Lady Gaga together at a midnight Rock Band session. (Pictures, or it didn’t happen!)
Come on out and join the fun!
Sept 28-30th Wizard World Ohio, in Columbus!
*VOTE to preview the next page!*
Lol Faking it—sort of. I know if I was Bea I really WOULD feel sick. Heck I DO feel sick inside. Yvette’s text made me laugh though. And the part about her calling Dad, not Mom.
Bea, go to sleeeep go to slleeeeppp!!!!
The VI: Oh, her teacher’s coming in to check on her…this could be extremely interesting. Especially considering who “Miss Smith” is IRL. Lol Oh man, imagine if Bea and I met IRL…
Oh my bad, it’s Bea texting Yvette and that explains why she’s coming to find her in the VI. I thought it was her teacher snooping. lol
Oh no… Maybe it is the modern day Mrs. Loring… *Groans*
I have to say…I’d be pretty okay with a modern Day Mrs. Loring. XD
I second that. Do you think modern Mrs. Loring would be some kind of a “soap opera vixen” type? I really can’t imagine her as being anything else.
Oh no, she’s probably a soccer mom. …A soccer mom who drinks a lot between getting her nails done and her hair appointment. XD
Oh. So are you saying she’d be more like one of the “Desperate Housewives”? Especially if there happened to be a modern version of General Howe around also?
Ha ha, yes! Exactly!
Mrs. Loring…in a mini-van?
David, I co-sign on your idea. lolz XD
Indeed, no matter how domestic her life may get, Betsy Loring could NEVER be “domesticated”. Not in ANY time period! No way in Hades!
OMG!!!! This should be fun…And “Miss Smith”coming to check on her on friday…Hmmm…Do we finally learn her name is Sarah Jane???
BTW, I just finished my first day of college! Homework already! Not due til next month >:D
or…is that Yvette?
It’s Yvette. You can tell by her shirt.

That really would be great.
it being Yvette or the Sarah Jane thing?
the Sarah-Jane thing
I’m afraid it would have to be Sarah Jane from sometime in the past. Look up the character and you’ll see what I mean. :(
@ Brent: yes, that would be awesome.
@David: I know…but it’s a worthwhile thought…*sigh* RIP Sarah Jane!
Here’s to Sarah Jane Smith. Forever in our hearts!
I had to google “Sarah Jane Smith.” You guys are talking about President Roslin! I get get behind that incarnation. ;)
Ah, the old sleep excuse. I can’t count the number of times I faked an extreme case of random stmptoms* just to sleep it off in the nurse’s office. Good times……and surprisingly comfy beds, too.
So Yvette probably won’t be much help here, unless she backs her car into the nurse’s office. Alas…..
Incentive…..really hope that’s not Bebe’s mom
INCENTIVE CAPTION!!!
Lady: “You! Peon! How dare you interrupt my pointless soaps with tales of this American teenager and her secret life!”
*stmptoms = stupid blog gremlins
@Brent: In this case we could also classify Bea as a “pretty little liar”.
That’s got my nomination right there
Thanks. Couldn’t have done it without you, though! PLL is one of my Guilty Pleasures! :D
I would list my guilty pleasures here, but first I’d have to feel bad/weird about watching them
(okay there was “H2O: Just Add Water” when that was on….and Avril….and Katy….but that’s it, I swear)
Going broader…..doritos with Nacho cheese dip, the Twilight movies, Gone in 60 seconds with Nicolas Cage, and mermaids.
……meh.
…James McAvoy movies. They’re never any good but, uh, he is.
<______>
COUGH! wanted and narnia and x-men and gnomeo & juliet COUGH!
You forgot Penelope! <3 That’s really the only one I rewatch. Last King of Scotland was fantastic but once was enough for me. I felt like I was supposed to like Atonement but I didn’t.
What about Becoming Jane?? I rewatch that one all the time!
Yeah, I never saw Last King or Penelope…..didn’t feel fair to count them
Ack! TMI! :D
@Brent: “H2O”, huh? Good. How about “Alien Surf Girls”? :)
It’s Yvette. *cough*page7*cough*
And knowing that, we’re definitely in for another (not-so-) clean getaway.
So does Bea expect Yvette to somehow pull off a “Ferris Bueller”-type scenario?
I can visualize Bea on a parade float singing “Twist and shout”!
“The key to changing history is the puppy eyes. They’re unbelievably childlike and pathetic….I’m a big believer in them. A lot of people will tell you that some sort of foreknowledge is a dead lock, but, uh… you get a religious nutjob, you could wind up in a stockade. That’s worse than school. You fake hysteria, and when you’re bent over, moaning, you lick your hands and rub your face and eyes, making them look moist and red. It’s a little childish and stupid, but then, so is war.”
So true!
I saw the Ferris Bueller reference and it just came to me. ‘Course, I had to check IMDB and issue 4 for the original quote (Bueller) and to make sure everything lined up (what Bea does) .
“Can you call, my dad, not my mom? Moms always know when you’re faking it.”
School nurses totally know when you’re faking it too. But for the sake of argument, they usually let you rest for a while anyway.
Hence my comment above :-)
Haha, I wouldn’t know. I’ve never been to school.
At my school we bypassed the nurse and just called our parents to come and get us or approve a forged note.
Also, nice texting-in-bag Bea. Flawless. Unless you had my old history teacher.
You all are so daring!
I honestly don’t think I ever skipped school. Or even faked an illness. You know, I had homework and tests and book reports and stuff I couldn’t miss…
…oh, gosh, I was such a nerd.
I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of my friends skip school or fake excuses to go home, much less do so myself…
…Then again, I study in a school chock full of nerds. xD
I didn’t really do it until senior year. If I was tired, bored, or just a tad bit sick I’d go home. But I only missed study halls or government.
My history teacher ALWAYS caught me texting, he used to take it because we’re friends and he liked to annoy me!
If Bea was me, she’d never get out of there. My body temperature is below the “normal” 98.6 – both my Mom and I clock in around 97.5. So I’d be roasting with a legitimate fever, and the nurse would boot me back to class because the thermometer read 98.6! (When I register a “normal” fever, I might as well be dead.)
…you could claim the chills? On a normal day??
Are you sure you aren’t Iceman?
Hmm. Verrry interesting. *cough*mutant*cough*
Hey, don’t knock it! Heat doesn’t bother me (although I don’t like humidity – nothing more miserable than a wet ice cube), I don’t freeze in air conditioning, and I’m comfy in the winter. But there is a lot of apologizing for cold hands and feet.
So….you’re a deer, then?
This plan appears to have backfired a bit, Bea. Hopefully the number they have on file for her parents is actually her friend. Or her uncle. He might be cool enough to help her get out of school.
Cool or not, if it was uncle Hercules Bea would still have to invent a plausible cover story in order to enlist his help in getting out of there.
He might buy the “not feeling well” story. It’s worth a try.
That’s about all she COULD do. He probably wouldn’t buy the truth and anyway it would take too long to explain it all. Plus he’d just likely think she was sick in a DIFFERENT way. Know what I’m sayin’?
Totally done this.
