"Nice girl. Wears too much makeup.''Most chicks hate her.''Most chicks wish they looked like her. And they wish they had her money and boyfriend.'I stop and regard her in disgust. 'Burro Face?''Oh, please, Alex. Colin Adams is cute, he's the captain of the football team and Fairfield's hero. You're like Danny Zuko in Grease. You smoke, you're in a gang, and you've dated the hottest bad girls around. Brittany is like Sandy ... a Sandy who'll never show up to school in a black leather jacket with a ciggie hangin' from her mouth. Give up the fantasy."
