Things always seem to get worse before they get better. Scarlett's biggest problem is never being able to see when things are going to get better instead of worse.
Sometimes you just have to keep your head up and hope for the best. And most of all...

New Principal is Weeny
Letty reads the headline in the school newspaper and sighs. She hates to admit it, but she's pretty sure she knows exactly who did this. And now she's gonna have to kill one Shawn Hunter.
The brunette goes over to Eric's house after her shift at the poetry place is over, and she sits down at the table with him. The teenager lays her head down and he looks at her, but he doesn't say anything.
"Eric, my son. And his friend who never goes to her own house." Mr. Matthews greets as he walks into the kitchen and gets a soda out of the fridge. "How was your day?"
Letty doesn't reply. She also doesn't look up to see when Eric shows his father the headline of the school's most recent newspaper.
He chuckles. "Well, that's pretty hysterical." He says as he sits down across from Letty.
"Yeah, I laughed at it myself." Eric tells him. "My girlfriend, however, failed to see the humor. She said, uh, her efforts at journalistic excellence have been forever compromised by my limited intellect and profound immaturity." He says as he reads a letter.
"I'm confused." Letty says, still not lifting her head.
"Today's paper." He explains, and she sighs as she sits up.
"Oh."
"And what did you say?" His dad asks as he picks up the copy of the paper that Eric brought home.
"I said, bite me." His son tells him.
"So, you're back on the market. You'll find someone."
He glances over at Letty, who's staring at her hands on the tabletop, and then turns back to his father. "Dad, I was dating the editor of the school newspaper. It- It was a status relationship. It made me somebody special." He says.
It's been about a week since what happened with Rebecca, and he's clearly moved on from her no problem. It never really seems to take him all that long to get over a girl after they break up.
"Eric, I think you're somebody special." Mr. Matthews tells him.
"Oh, you have to. You had me, and you're stuck with me."
"Well, that's true. But sooner or later love will softly sneak up on you and wrap you in its gentle embrace." He continues and then his wife walks into the kitchen and smacks the back of his head. "Ow." He mutters as he then rubs his head where she hit him.
