Hey isn’t that was kids are supposed to do though? annoy teachers and give them a hard time. Is Simpson still there? I feel like the school would have to burn down before he left though.

Yeah? I feel like my Junior year was the craziest. But if you remember seeing a short girl with bright pink and purple hair that was me. Yeah and i don’t think Lola’s a super common name around here.

I saw it and oh so wished I recorded it.

“i really do. i didn’t know what i wanted to do for the longest time, but i liked kids so i just…went with it, and it all turned out for the best! degrassi can be cool, but i’m sure not as cool as new york. so, hopefully you do make it back soon! maybe before christmas so you can see all the lights and all that. aweh! are you still with her? that story sounds wild…but also kind of sweet. right? it feels like it hasn’t been that long, but then when i stop and think about it…it has been that long and it really does feel like a lifetime. i met him when i was fourteen, got with him when i was fifteen…and i’m about to turn 24 next month, so!”

I do, Lola Pacini, you were at degrassi when i was a freshman I think? Or your name just rings in the halls there no matter what. We have both, i’d prefer the chicken ones though.

Oh god, you went back?? I don’t think i would have been brave enough to step foot in those hallways again at least not till like reunion or something. I mean It is degrassi, shit happens there.

Gotta say my dad’s salsa recipe is actually award winning, so it’s not like i could go and change it.You should try something else some time though. Our empanadas will never be topped honestly.

I’d hope thats only a joke. Well, i teach music at toronto middle school, so gotta say that i swear these kids get themselves in more drama then i ever was in high school.

Oh no I saw it, and it could have been much worse, you could have gotten covered in gauc and salsa.

There are worst things to be debating about and losing friends over. I think we can both agree to disagree on something like this.

“Oh, so you ...saw me trip then? At least I caught myself. It could have been even more embarrassing.”

That she is, glad we both have some good taste about how Hercules has the best soundtrack, but are you forgetting I’ll Make a Man Outta You from Mulan?

“yep! it was either first grade or fifth grade, and i felt like the fifth graders would really give me a run for my money…and i genuinely just like the little ones more anyway. oh wow, new york? that’s so cool. i’ve been a few times and it’s beautiful. do you miss it at this time of year or was it just insane, filled with tourists, and overrated? i feel like everyone had relationship drama. mine was just your typical…girl meets senior boy freshman year, girl falls in love with said boy, boy is into her right back, boy and girl date, girl’s mom hates boy, they keep dating, boy cheats, start cycle over again…but he’s grown up a lot and so have i. we’re in a really good place, and i guess it really did take all the screaming and crying…so i guess i wouldn’t change a thing if i had to choose. so yeah, overall, still with my high school sweetheart. we’ve been together, off and on, for almost ten years and that’s absolutely mind-blowing.”

I enjoy disney, but trying to get her to watch like 90s disney feel like it’s pulling teeth. She just turned three on the fourteenth.

“so i’ve been told…but i’m a first grade teacher. so, i’m the first real real teacher they have. oh, drama sounds fun! are you the drama teacher at degrassi? i never did any of the productions, but i remember how well put together they were! psh, i remember how that felt…maybe that’s because i’m still with the guy that i thought the world was ending over. now, i’m just like…you’re cool, but…was it worth all the screaming and crying? we probably could’ve gotten here without it.”

It was okay the first fifty times, but now i’m ready to let it go out the window. I’ve had Panic!’s into the unknown playing since it’s dropped so i don’t think i’ll get tired of that song just yet.

“oh, no…they don’t. I have so many wild stories. I’ve been sneezed on. I had one kid fall, scrape his knee, and then wipe his teary face all over my dress…he wasn’t like, snotty…so that didn’t really bother me…but I have a spacer in where my septum piercing normally is and I’ve had so many kids inform me, loudly, that I have a booger. I love them, but they’re so out of pocket and gross and they don’t care. I’m sure with high school, though…where you don’t have the nasty, you have the mouth…which is what I can’t tolerate. I don’t do disrespect.”
