Meanwhile by "No Skateboarding" Sign #16, Meghan walks past Kenny. She think-talks: "I'm being totally ignored." I'm not sure why she thinks that, since everyone is still staring at her. And I mean everyone. The entire school is made up of people of the same age and apparently all have nothing better to do than stare as Meghan walks around. They have no classes, they do not need anything from their lockers, and they never want to talk to each other. This is because, as you may remember, the Green family is the center of the universe. Meghan runs up to Brunette Girl and gives her a name: "Holly, um, okay, spill it." "It's all over school," Holly exhales. "And what's 'all over school' would be?" the Passive-Tense-Just-Like-Kevin-Williamson Script Writer churns out. "The reason you're not going to college," Holly says; "You're pregnant," she says quite loudly, and now people fifty feet away are staring at Meghan not because they heard Holly, but rather because that's the direction they were given. Holly walks off as three other extras walk up to Meghan and stare. Meghan's Hot Fuchsia mouth opens in utter disbelief. Fade to white and cue opening theme.
Fade in to Rebecca walking in slow motion with a piece of fabric sticking up from her cleavage. Kenny voice-overs his love for her and her interest in him. "Hey," he says to us, "I'm as surprised as you are. But I've got to bring it to the next level. If you don't go physical early on, you'll be sentenced to a friendship without the possibility of sex," he says in one breath. Cue thirty-year-old boys in school checking Rebecca out. "And if I don't move soon, bachelors number two through twenty will."
