\\#46 Decisions;Jessica: Hey Liz, don’t forget I start babysitting today. I need cash for a new bathing suit. Liz: I’ll bet it’s an impossibly brief bikini, like most of your bathing suits are described. Jessica: How’d you know? Anyway did I tell you the latest? Robin Wilson got into Sarah Lawrence College! Liz: Wow! You have to be really, really smart to skip your senior year and go right to college! Jessica: I know! Forget about state school standards that say every high school student has to earn a certain amount of credits in order to graduate. This is Sweet Valley! Where babies can get into college if they want! Liz: Isn’t it a little weird that I’m the “smartest girl in the Junior class” and I won’t try to leave for college a year early till we hit the miniseries books? Jessica: Probably, but this book is about Robin. ---------------------------------- Annie: Robin, you’re so spacey. Robin: Oh Annie, I got into a college in New York but I’m not sure I want to go yet. But if I don’t, my rich but controlling aunt won’t pay for me to go to college, and my blue-collar mother can’t afford to send me anywhere. Plus, what about George? Annie: Well whatever you decide, just don’t get fat again. You have the diving championships coming up, you know. Robin: Don’t worry, I’ve been starving myself for weeks. Annie: Wow, you'd think statements like that would be totally inappropriate in a book aimed at teen girls, who often have body-image issues! ---------------------- Jessica: Hi, are you Allison? Allison: Yes. My brother sent me to the door alone since he knew it would be a stranger, and even though I’m only 6, that seemed okay to him. Jessica: So where is he? Is he hot? Alex: Thanks for doing this, Jessica. Jessica: Oh my gosh, a music dork that’s a babe! Hmmm how can I scam this guy into liking me? Note to self: learn an instrument in the next 2 days. --------------------------------- Robin: George, I’m scared about college. George: Don’t worry. You’ll go to UCLA. You can keep diving and we’ll be right near each other. Robin: But George, I just don’t know yet. George: Robin, you’re 16. It’s time to make a real commitment to me. You’re not getting any younger. Robin: But I’m not sure what I want to – George: I just told you what you want, woman! Robin: Oh George, you’re so wonderful! --------------------------------------- Jessica: I have been practicing this recorder for nearly 10 minutes now and I still can’t play Bach? It must be defective! I mean, Allison can play, and she’s 6! Liz: I’m the most well-rounded person in the world. How could I have never taken up an instrument? Well, I guess I should back off since it was Jessica’s idea, and every time I try something she likes, I do it better, and she gets mad. ---------------------------------------- George: Hey Liz. Liz: George, it’s so fantastic about Robin! George: What about Robin? Liz: Oooooooops! --------------------------------------- Mrs. Wilson: I can’t believe how lucky we are that Aunt Fiona is sending you to school! What a financial relief for me! Robin: But I’m not sure I want to go yet, Mom. Mrs. Wilson: Do you have any idea how much college costs? You’re going, young lady! Me saving $100,000 in college costs is worth more than your happiness! George: Woman, why didn’t you tell me about Sarah Lawrence? You’re not going, you’re staying here with me or else! Robin: Who told you?? I bet it was that bitch Annie. Annie, you traitor! Annie: Huh? Robin: Don’t play dumb, you know what you did! Annie: What are you talking about? Liz: Ooopsie! Guess I should call Robin and clear that up one of these days… --------------------------------------- Tracy: Go ahead Robin, try to beat me. I’m the best diver in town! Dina: Robin, I know you’re confused about college, but take my advice. Focus on diving. Trust me, I’m an Olympic silver medalist who now coaches high school diving. I know a thing or two. And considering a few months ago you were a fat cow who would’ve broken the diving board, you’ve come a long way. ---------------------------------------- Jessica: I have been babysitting for almost a week and Alex still hasn’t touched me! Time to kick it up a notch, Jessica-style! Liz: And time for me to continue practicing the recorder in secret! ---------------------------------------- Aunt Fiona: God, this town is dreadful. And this house! How can 4 people fit in something so small and ugly? And how can you read such crappy books? Good Lord, you practically need to carry a gun in this neighborhood for protection from the riff-raff! Mrs. Wilson: Fiona, it’s so great to see you! Aunt Fiona: Robin, it’s good to see you’re no longer a tubby fatass. But why are you into diving? Robin: Well Aunt Fiona, I – Aunt Fiona: Money. Money. MONEY!!! ----------------------------------- Jessica: Man, I still haven’t done it with Alex. I know! I’ll pretend to faint! Alex: Jessica, are you okay? Jessica: I am now, sweetie! Alex: Jessica, you’re so hot. I’ll be at Julliard for at least a year or two, but maybe when I get back, you can be my booty call? Jessica: Uh, that’s not how it works, pal. See ya! Alex: But Jessica, wait! You left my 6 year old sister unsupervised by the ocean! Jessica: Lalalala I can’t hear you! Hey Liz, you stole my recorder. Great! Keep it! ---------------------------------- Aunt Fiona: Now, I’m treating you to the most expensive restaurant in town. Everyone, let’s propose a toast to Robin, who is to follow in my footsteps in college! And obviously I’m successful, I sold 4 paintings with sky-high price tags in 15 minutes! At this point, I literally crap money! Robin: I’m still not sure – Mrs. Wilson: Dammit Robin, you’re going! Robin: F*ck all of you! George, can you come get me? George: Sure Robin, since you’re staying in California and all. Robin: Argh!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------------ Dina: Robin, I know you’re stressed, but stop f*cking up your dives! Robin: Okay. My mind is clear. I don’t want to leave high school early. Maybe I want to go to New York, but not yet, and it’s my decision! Now that my mind is clear, let’s dive! Judges: A perfect 10 for Robin Wilson! Dina: It wouldn’t be any other way in Sweet Valley! Aunt Fiona: Robin, since you stood up to me, and I can appreciate a stubborn woman since I am one, I’ll pay for your college when and where you choose! Robin: Score! ---------------------------------------- Julie: Liz, do you think Bruce is a good guy? Liz: No. He’s egotistical, stuck-up, and mean. Julie: So you’re saying he’s cute, popular, and rich? Liz: Oy! |
