A good man is like totally hard to find

14. Wrong King of Boy – Shannon Blair

Liz wants to expand her horizons. She’s tired of just being herself and post-breakup with football great Bud, she wants a totally different kind of date – like Laurence, the misanthrope from her invitation only creative writing class.

And here would be where Laurence turns out to be a psychopath, or Bud does, or the new guy who seems to like Liz, Cliff, would be, but this isn’t a horror series and I was reading it because there’s a phone on the cover…so no one is a psychopath, but one is a plagiarist. Don’t steal one act plays to impress your new girlfriend. Especially if you’re a writer, Laurence.

The lesson here was that you can insulate yourself no matter what you think you’re expanding and it’s best to just be yourself and like what you like. Try new things as a high school student, you don’t have to pretend you like things you don’t, and for serial, don’t steal one act plays and try to pass them off as your own.

I’ve gotten lots of shit in my day for liking high and low culture equally, but I will not budge on the idea that they’re not mutually exclusive, just like how Liz’s new jock boyfriend also likes writing poetry. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d had a satisfying conversation with a guy!

 

Thaddeus would never steal a one act play and would side-eye any stupid plagiarists.

 

You know who is never the wrong kind of boy? Thaddeus. Look at him making calls.
