Dear Diary:
I believe I'm a good person. You know, I think that there's good in everyone, but—here we are! First day of senior year!
And uh... I look around at these kids that I've known all my life and I ask myself—what happened?

[KIDS:]
Freak! Slut! Burnout! Bug-eyes! Poser! Lard-ass!

We were so tiny, happy and shiny
Playing tag and getting chased

[KIDS:]
Freak! Slut! Loser! Shortbus!

Singing and clapping, laughing and napping
Baking cookies, eating paste

[KIDS:]
Bull-dyke! Stuck-up! Hunchback!

Then we got bigger, that was the trigger
Like the Huns invading Rome

Oh, Sorry!

Welcome to my school, this ain't no high school:
This is the Thunderdome

Hold your breath and count the days, we're graduating soon

[KIDS:]
White trash!

College will be paradise, if I'm not dead by June!

But I know, I know, life can be beautiful
I pray, I pray for a better way
If we changed back then, we could change again
We can be beautiful...

Just not today

Hey, are you okay?

[HIPSTER DORK:]
Get away, nerd

Oh, okay

[KIDS:]
Freak! Slut! Cripple! Homo! Homo! Homo!

Things will get better soon as my letter
Comes from Harvard, Duke, or Brown
Wake from this coma, take my diploma
Then I can blow this town

Dream of ivy-covered walls and smoky French cafés

[RAM:]
Watch it!

Fight the urge to strike a match and set this dump ablaze!

[RAM:]
Ooooops

[VERONICA:]
Ram Sweeney. Third year as linebacker and eighth year of smacking lunch trays and being a huge dick

[RAM:]
What did you say to me, skank?

Aah, nothing!
But I know, I know... [KIDS:] I know, I know...
Life can be beautiful [KIDS:] Beautiful
I pray, I pray
[KIDS:] I pray, I pray
For a better way
[KIDS:] For a better way
We were kind before;
[KIDS:] Oooh...
We can be kind once more
[KIDS:] Oooh...
We can be beautiful...
[KIDS:] Oooh... Beautiful...

Agh!... Hey Martha

[MARTHA:]
Hey

Martha Dunnstock. My best friend since diapers

[MARTHA:]
We on for movie night?

Yeah, you're on Jiffy Pop detail

[MARTHA:]
I rented "The Princess Bride."

Ho-ho-ho, again? Wait, don't you have it memorized by now?

[MARTHA:]
What can I say? I'm a sucker for a happy ending

[KURT:]
Martha Dumptruck! Wide load! Honnnnnk!

[KURT:]
Hahaaa!

Kurt Kelly. Quarterback. He is the smartest guy on the football team. Which is kind of like being the tallest dwarf
