September 1, 1989
Dear Diary,
I believe I'm a good person
Y'know, I think that there's good in everyone
But, here we are
First day of senior year
And uh
I look around at these kids that I've known all my life, and I ask myself:
What happened?

[Students]
Freak! Slut! Burnout! Bug eyes! Poser! Lard ass!

[Flower]
We were so tiny, happy, and shiny
Playing tag and getting chased

[Students]
Freak! Slut! Loser! Short bus!

[Flower]
Singing and clapping
Laughing and napping
Baking cookies, eating paste

[Students]
Bull dike! Stuck up! Hunchback!

[Flower]
Then we got bigger
That was the trigger
Like the huns invading Rome

[Boy]
Woah-

[Flower]
Ugh, sorry
Welcome to my school
This ain't no highschool
This is the thunder dome
Hold your breath and count the days
We're graduating soon

[Students]
White trash!

[Flower]
College will be paradise
If I'm not dead by June
But I know, I know
Life can be beautiful
I pray, I pray
For a better way
If we changed back then
We can change again
We can be beautiful

[Boy]
Ow!

[Flower]
Just not today
Hey, are you okay?

[Boy]
Get away, nerd!

[Flower]
Oh, okay

[Students]
Freak! Slut! Cripple! Homo! Homo! Homo!

[Flower]
Things will get better
As soon as my letter
Comes from, Harvard, Duke, or Brown
Away from this coma
Take my diploma
Then I can blow this town
Dream of Ivy covered walls
And smoky French cafes

[Bart]
Watch it!

[Flower]
Fight the urge to strike a match
And set this dump ablaze

[Bart]
Oops

[Flower]
Bart Hunolstein
Third year as linebacker,
And eighth year of smacking lunch trays,
And being a huge dick

[Bart]
What'd you say to me, skank?

[Flower]
Gah! Nothing
But I know, I know
Life can be beautiful
I pray, I pray
For a better way
We were kind before
We can be kind once more
We can be beautiful
Ah! Hey Edward

[Edward]
Hey

[Flower]
Edward Philips, my best friend since diapers

[Edward]
We on for movie night?

[Flower]
Yeah! You're on Jiffy Pop detail

[Edward]
I rented The Princess Bride

[Flower]
Oh ho ho, again? Wait, don't you have it memorized by now?

[Edward]
What can I say? I'm a sucker for a happy ending

[Charlie]
Edward Dumbass! Look at his dumb face...?

[Flower]
Charlie Lafayette, quarterback
He's the sweetest guy on the football team, which is kind of like being the tallest dwarf

[Bart]
You are hopeless...

[Flower]
Hey! Pick that up, right now!

[Bart]
I'm sorry, are you actually talking to me?

[Flower]
Yes I am. I want to know what gives you the right to pick on my friend? You're a high school has-been waiting to happen, a future gas station attendant

[Bart]
You have a zit right there

[Students]
Hahahahahahahahah!

[Flower]
Dear Diary,
Why?

[Male student]
Why do they hate me?

[Female student]
Why don't I fight back?

[Charlie]
Why do I act like a such a creep?

[Edward]
Why won't he date me?

[Bart]
Why did I hit him?

[Students]
Why do I cry myself to sleep?
Somebody hug me
Somebody fix me
Somebody save me
Send me a sign, God
Give me some hope here
Something to live for

Oh, Anastasia, Jess, and Charlotte

[Flower]
Then there's them
They float above it all

[Students]
I love Anastasia, Jess, and Charlotte

[Flower]
Charlotte Lafayette, head cheerleader (I hate Anastasia, Jess, and Charlotte)
Her dad is loaded, he's a marquis
Jess Carter, runs the yearbook (I want Anastasia, Jess, and Charlotte)
No discernable personality, but her mom did pay for implants
And Anastasia Baudelaire, the almighty
She is a mythic bitch (I need Anastasia, Jess, and Charlotte)

They're solid Teflon, never bothered, never harassed
I would give anything to be like that

[Boy]
I'd like to be their boyfriend

[Students]
That would be beautiful

[Girl]
If I sat at their table, guys would notice me

[Students]
So beautiful

[Edward]
I'd like them to be nicer

[Students]
That would be beautiful

[Boy]
I'd like to kidnap one of them and photograph her naked in an abandoned warehouse and leave her tied up for the rats

[Anastasia]
Grow up, Jess
Bulimia is so 87

[Charlotte]
Maybe you should see a doctor, Jess

[Jess]
Yeah, Charlotte. Maybe I should

[Al]
Ah, Anastasia and Charlotte...
And Jess
Perhaps you didn't hear the bell over all the vomitting. You're late to class

[Anastasia]
Jess wasn't feeling well
We're helping her

[Al]
Not without a hallpass you're not
Week's detention

[Flower]
Actually, Miss de Noailles, all four of us are out on a hallpass
Yearbook committee

[Al]
I see you're all listed...
Hurry up and get where you're going

[Anastasia]
This is an excellent forgery. Who are you?

[Flower]
Flower. Walsh. I crave a boon.

[Anastasia]
What boon?

[Flower]
Let me sit at your table, at lunch, just once. No talking necessary. If people think you guys tolerate me, they'll leave me alone
Before you answer, I also do report cards, permission slips, and absence notes

[Jess]
What about prescriptions?

[Anastasia]
Shut up Jess!
For a greasy little nobody, you do have good bone structure

[Charlotte]
And a symmetrical face. If I took a meat cleaver down the center of your skull, I'd have matching halves. That's very important

[Jess]
Of course you could stand to lose a few pounds

[Anastasia]
And you know, you know, you know
This could be beautiful
Mascara, maybe some lip gloss
And we're on our way
Get this girl some blush, and you, I need your brush
Let's make her beautiful

[Charlotte/Jess]
Let's make her beautiful!

[Anastasia]
Okay?

[Flower]
Okay

[Bart]
Out of my way, geek

[Boy]
I don't want trouble

[Bart]
You're gonna die at three pm

[Girls]
Don't you dare touch me
Get away pervert

[Boy]
What did I ever do to them?

[Students]
Who could survive this?
I can't escape this
I think I'm dying

[Al]
Who's that with Ana?

[Students]
Woah
Charlotte, Jess, Anastasia

[Al]
And someone

[Students]
Charlotte, Jess, Anastasia

[Boy]
And a babe

[Students]
Anastasia, Jess, Charlotte

[Edward]
Flower?

[Students]
Flower
Flower
Flower!

[Flower]
And you know, you know, you know
Life can be beautiful
You hope, you dream, you pray
And you get your way!
Ask me how it feels
Looking like hell on wheels
My God, it's beautiful
I might be beautiful
And when you're beautiful
It's a beautiful freakin day!
