Location: Journalism class
Warnings: None
Subject: Lizzie is texting and Matt's not too happy about it. Shenanigans follow.
Journalism was always one of the toughest classes to get through. Lizzie had thought it was going to be fairly easy - how hard could it be to write a news story for the school paper, anyway? - but it turned out to actually involve a lot of work. Like, there was a textbook. And they were expected to actually do their reading and be able to discuss concepts in class. Why did she need to know about the inverted pyramid of journalism, anyway?
So just as she did during most classes, Lizzie chose to spend this period texting whatever Cheerio happened to be in study hall. Today, the topic of discussion was what they thought would happen on The Secret Circle the next evening. It wasn't that Lizzie couldn't do the work - actually, it was miraculous that she always managed to get high C's or low B's based on the amount of effort she put in - but she just didn't care to. Why bother when you could gossip about why Cassie's mom defied fate and married someone other than her predestined soul mate?
The bell rang, and Lizzie giggled aloud as she put her cell phone back into her bag. She didn't realize that the teacher (and a few students) were giving her a dirty look at this overt admission that she never bothered to pay attention in class. There wasn't much the teacher could do now, though, since they were about to go to lunch and Lizzie was no longer under her jurisdiction. Smirking, Lizzie headed for the door of the classroom.
