dinner with her mom and chrissy, and while she was there, guess who she ran into?
zoegirl:
TONNIE AND ROB. as in, on a date. she said they were snuggled up in a booth sharing an awesome blossom.
mad maddie:
christ, that sucks.
mad maddie:
what the hell is an awesome blossom?
zoegirl:
u know, those fried onion thingies with the dipping sauce. and what’s worse? angela and rob shared one on their first date too.
mad maddie:
is bennigan’s the only restaurant rob goes to???
zoegirl:
not the point. angela is devastated, so i told her we’d come over and spend the night. watch movies and eat tons and tons of junk food, that sort of thing.
mad maddie:
sounds good. i’ll see if mark can give me a ride.
zoegirl:
on the phone, angela kept saying, “is it cuz tonnie’s prettier than me? IS it?” i feel so bad for her.
mad maddie:
did she say anything to rob when she saw him? and did he see her?
zoegirl:
he saw her, all right. angela said he stared at her for like ten seconds, and then he turned to tonnie and started talking really animatedly, even though a blush had spread from his neck all the way up his face.
zoegirl:
angela grabbed chrissy and her mom and jerked them out the door, and then she burst into tears.
mad maddie:
that asshole
zoegirl:
and then apparently her mom made some super-supportive comment like, “just let it go, angela. he’s obviously the type of boy who only cares about appearances.”
mad maddie:
good lord
zoegirl:
so we should get over there, because she’s totally a mess.
mad maddie:
gotcha. i’m on it!

mad maddie:
hey, poor sad angela. your tweet made me wantto hug you. r u really at krispy kreme, or was that another “walking the lonely train tracks” fake-out?
SnowAngel:
i really am at KK. I walked here, hoping that getting off my butt wld help, but it didn’t. so now i’m expanding my butt with donuts.
SnowAngel:
i hate myself, basically.
mad maddie:
don’t hate yourself. hate rob. have u talked to him?
SnowAngel:
no
mad maddie:
well, good. he’s not worth it.
SnowAngel:
i TELL myself that, but that’s not how it feels.
SnowAngel:
i need u and zoe. ur the only ones who understand. you’re coming back tonight, right?
mad maddie:
ouch. that’s actually why i texted. i want to—i do—but i can’t. i’m scheduled to work, and i can’t find anyone to trade shifts with.
SnowAngel:
no! u HAVE to!
mad maddie:
but zoe’ll be there. u’ll be fine.
mad maddie:
i’ll call u tomorrow!
    Mon, Oct 4, 5:25 PM E.D.T .
SnowAngel:
hey, mads. hey, zo. i had a totally crappy time at school today, just so u both know. *sniffle, sniffle*
mad maddie:
ah, shit. i’m sorry.
SnowAngel:
i didn’t wanna go at all, but mom made me. how unfair is that?
mad maddie:
terribly unfair. those damn parents, always wanting their damn kids to go to school. i say we revolt.
zoegirl:
how was french? did u and rob talk?
SnowAngel:
yes. he said that tonnie was the one who asked him out, and he didn’t know how to say “no.”
mad maddie:
that is the lamest excuse i think i’ve ever heard. please tell me u told him to go to hell.
SnowAngel:
i told him it really hurt my feelings.
zoegirl:
good for u
mad maddie:
what?!!! he treated u like dirt, angela. telling him he “really hurt your feelings” isn’t gonna do it.
SnowAngel:
he also said that tonnie is just a friend, even if she wants to be more, and that he’s sorry if he ruined something good just cuz of her.
zoegirl:
IF he ruined something good?
mad maddie:
he’s a dick. and he looks like that weird brother guy on “arrested development.”
SnowAngel:
he does not!
mad maddie:
zoe? back me up?
zoegirl:
well, not EXACTLY. but kind of. just a *teeny* bit, if he were way older.
mad maddie:
ok, he’s the young version of the weird bro on “arrested development.” it’s still bad!
SnowAngel:
maybe
