April 17, 11:15 a.m.

Ariana: A guy who plays with clay and churro dough for high school credit should not judge people who build dioramas.

April 17, 3:23 p.m.

Ariana: You'll never guess what happened today.

Justin: Somebody blew up your school.

Ariana: That's not funny. In fact, I don't even think you're allowed to make jokes about bombs and schools anymore. Public or private.

Justin: Are you going to turn me in?

Ariana: Let's drop this.

Justin: Okay.

Ariana: The thing that happened today is diorama related.

Justin: CeCe dropped her diorama.

Ariana: Yes!

Justin: Did it break?

Ariana: Are you kidding? Of course it broke. It practically exploded.

Justin: Did this happen before or after it was graded?

Ariana: Before.

Justin: Ouch.

Ariana: It's okay. The diorama project was pass/fail. CeCe threw herself into it for personal reasons. Her mortal enemy, Ginny Loomis, had chosen the same poem for her assignment. CeCe didn't want to be second best.

Justin: Did everyone build a diorama? Did you build a diorama?

Ariana: Yes.

Justin: How come you didn't tell me about your diorama?

Ariana: I knew you'd mock it.

Justin: Come on. That's not fair. I might have teased you a little, but that's to be expected.

Ariana: I guess I'm just sensitive.

Justin: That's one word for it.

Ariana: Hey!

Justin: I want to hear about your diorama. No joking around. I promise.

Ariana: Okay. Mine wasn't elaborate like CeCe's.

Justin: Sounds like hers had structural issues anyway.

Ariana: You said no joking around.

Justin: I meant about your diorama.

Ariana: Well, I figured you meant all dioramas.

Justin: Sheesh. I had no idea you had such serious hang-ups regarding craft projects.

Ariana: One more insensitive comment and I'm hanging up. Don't push me, Justin Bieber. I'll do it. It only takes a push of the thumb.

Justin: Okay. Don't hang up. Keep your thumb where it is and tell me about what you built.

Ariana: Well, it had to be about a poem.

Justin: So what lousy title did you choose?

Ariana: I don't think that all poems have lousy titles. When I said that, I was just thinking out loud.

Justin: Go on.

Ariana: The subject had to be a poem written during the Victorian Era. I chose "Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti.
