The First Day
Did you hear about Monica?
She gained 15 pounds in only two weeks.
She is really fat these days.
Yeah. How disgusting.
I saw her yesterday and she was ugly in her skirt.
I hope that she will be able to lose weight before her birthday party.
Look at my new designs. Aren’t they beautiful?
I saw this jacket at Forever 21.
I wanted to buy it but it cost an arm and a leg.
That’s wonderful. I bought it last Saturday.
I hope that my art teacher likes my designs.
Hey girls! Guess what happened yesterday!
What?
I got a 2370 on my SAT.
And it was my first time taking the test too!
I think this is better than what you got, right Priya?
Also, Yale invited me to attend a physics program.
I'm so excited!
Congratulations.
Let’s celebrate!
Let's go to Yogurtland!
Yeah!
I can’t go.
Aww. It’s okay, we can go some other day.
Let's go. School is starting soon.
I'm not surprised that she got a good score on her SAT,
But she should be more modest about it.
Don't worry. She's only excited about it.
Julian! Julian!
Come here.
Did you do my homework?
No, I couldn't because my grandmother was very sick.
so I was busy taking care of her.
What? Your grandmother is not important.
Sorry.
It's okay. I hope your grandmother feels better.
Thank you.
Bye.
Why are you so nice today?
I don't know, I'm in a good mood.
Loser.
Sorry about that.
Thank you.
Guess what happened! Opal helped me and talked to me.
I think something bad is going to happen.
There is no way she can be nice without a motive.
Perhaps she is actually a nice person.
What am I thinking? It’s Opal.
She is part of the girls that make fun of me.
It’s impossible for her to be nice.
The Second Day
In the morning.
Another day of torture. Why can’t those girls stop making fun of me?
But Opal didn’t make fun of me yesterday.
Oh my God. Why can’t I stop thinking of Julian?
He’s not popular, but a kind of good looking.
Opal! Don’t think of him!
I’m really fat. Why is everyone thin and beautiful?
Why can’t I be like Kaajal?
I’m getting my test back today.
I hope that I got a better grade then the test before.
Kaajal, wake up!
My life is horrible.
Why can’t I be happy?
I need to forget about the world.
Good morning Mrs. Homstad.
Good morning.
Hello.
Hi Opal.
Hey, how are you?
Good, thank you.
We have arrived!
Hello class.
Hello.
Now, the party begins!
Now, the teasing begins.
She isn't that mean.
You are partners for the project.
Thank you.
Hahahaha. How sad, Opal.
You are with that loser, Julian.
Good luck.
He isn't a loser.
Whatever.
On the other hand, your shirt is really pretty,
but it's really tight on you.
Thank you for telling me.
I'm going to use the restroom.
Okay.
A D...
Another D?
What did you get?
An A+, like always!
You need help.
May I use the restroom?
Okay.
Anyways..
Isabel? What are you doing?
Please, don't tell anyone- especially not to Kaajal!
What happened?
Kaajal always tells me that I'm fat.
But you're not fat, you're perfect!
Really? Thank you!
And you? Why are you here?
I got a bad grade on my exam again.
Kaajal always gets good grades, and makes me feel like an idiot.
Why is Kaajal always so mean?
Sometimes, I hate her so much.
Thank you for defending me when Kaajal called me a loser.
You're welcome, Kaajal can be really mean sometimes.
When are we going to meet for the project?
Um, tomorrow? at your house?
Okay, See you later!
Bye.
In the afternoon
This homework is so hard.
Why is my life so horrible?
Everyone hates me.
Hello?
Hi, this is Kaajal.
Yes.
We need to find a way so that Opal can do the project with someone else
Because, Julian is a loser and isn't very popular.
Yeah, Opal's popularity will go down.
Yes, it's really important that..
It's okay, he is really nice and smart.
The project is only for two weeks.
Let's make fun of him until he doesn't want to be your partner for the project anymore.
Yeah! We can make an imaginary person on Facebook,
and we can attract Julian with it and make fun of him on the internet
This is too mean.
Julian is a nice person and doesn't deserve this.
He didn't do anything.
I don't know why you want to do this.
Why are you defending him?
Do you like Julian?
Listen. Julian is a loser, and you cannot be his friend.
Especially not his girlfriend, it's social suicide!
It's none of your business if I want to be partners with Julian.
Why do you need to control our lives?
Isabel and Priya agree with me, right?
I hate you.
The Third Day
Julian, are you there?
Yes, one moment.
Hi.
Hey Opal.
Are you ready to work?
Yeah, come on in.
Let's start on the project.
For the music part of our project, I chose a song by Gloria Trevi.
Gloria Trevi??
♫ I like to let my hair down. ♫
Yeah! Me too! But, I don't have a lot of hair.
Oh. Listen, there's a Gloria Trevi concert this Saturday. Do you want to come with me?
Oh. I don't know... I've never been to a concert before.
It's okay. We'll have fun!
Okay. Let's start with the project.
Hey! Opal, are you listening to me?
Later that day
Hey girls! What are you wearing to Monica's party?
Oh, I don't know, but Isabel, don't wear that dress that you always wear.
You look really fat [in it], but I, I look very beautiful in the dress.
Kaajal, you shouldn't say such things.
Whatever, I'm only telling the truth.
Opal, what are you going to wear?
Something to impress Julian, the biggest loser ever?
Shut up! You don't know anything about Julian
Sometimes, you can be really mean.
Man, my mom ordered me to wash the all the dishes because I received a bad grade on my test.
I need to go to Monica's party in secret.
Hahaha. Loser.
Okay. I'm going to go do my makeup, bye girls.
Finally, she left.
Sometimes I think that my life would be so much better without her.
Yeah. I agree.
Once in a while, I think of how my life would be better if she moved to some other country.
She needs to understand that she isn't the boss of our lives. We need to teach her a lesson.
We'll confront her at the party. Bye.
At the party
Hi Monica!
Hi
Your party is so fun- the party of the year!
Hi!
Hello.
How are you?
*This was not in Spanish! ;)*
We're doing well.
We are doing great too.
Yes! Lettuce!
I like it!
You like it?
Yes, I like lettuce!
Very good.
It is good to eat lettuce to stay thin.
Yes. I like lettuce.
You can't eat cookies.
But cookies are so delicious!
But you can't eat them.
If you do, you'll get fat and you are already fat now.
You don't know what's good for my heart and my body.
I want to help you. If you don't want to listen to me, it's your problem.
Hi.
Hey.
How's your weekend?
It's okay. I had a lot of homework.
I'm really hungry.
What foods do you like?
Oh. I like everything.
Do you want to [get food]?
Yes.
(Speaking Indistinctly)
"Peligro" by Reik
One moment. Wait for me please.
I know where she is. (Same word for "it")
Kaajal. I need to talk to you.
You are always mean and you treat us badly.
But all of your "teasing" ends now.
I might get worse grades than you, but you don't have to tell that to everyone!
I know. I'm sorry. I want to change. I tried to change. But I couldn't.
And also, you always tell me that I'm fat.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
No no no. The time for forgiveness has already passed. We are tired of your necessity to control everything.
I'm sorry.
Who killed Kaajal?
I know where she [the cookie] is.
What happened?
Dear friends: Priya, Isabel, Opal, and Julian...
