CHAD: You know? I don’t like to watch
these invented stories about unreal things
and things that will never happen to
anyone of us. Take that 2020 or 12
whatever it was. The end of the world is
near. Give me a break! That’s a figment of
someone’s imagination. I’d rather watch a
nice real life dram. Good amount of blood
and tears.
LEWIS: But Chad, we also have to have
some income of unreal things to be able to
be creative.

watching it.

descanso! Eso es un producto de la
imaginación de alguien. Prefiero ver un
buen trago de la vida real. Buena cantidad
de sangre y lágrimas.
LEWIS: pero Chad, también tenemos que
tener algún ingreso de cosas irreales para
poder ser creativos.

hablar del resto del vecindario. Sólo

uploads her pictures!

why did Sue have so many pictures. He
didn’t know what to say. Can you believe
it? He just stuttered. I just turned around
and went to my desk. He came right after
me, and started saying that it was not his
fault, that he…

qué me refiero? Allí estaban, cientos de
fotos de ella y steve y...

paso. Primero observe su boca. Segundo,
¿Quién es Sue?
NAOMI: ¡Dios mío, mamá! Nunca escuchas
lo que digo. Sue es la chica que estaba
tratando de ligar con Steve.
LEWIS: ¡Ok! ¿Quién es Steve ahora?

sentido hablar contigo. ¡Steve es mi novio!

¿Qué es un blog?
NAOMI: ¡¡¡Mon!!! ¡Su blog! ¡Donde ella
sube sus fotos!
LEWIS: eso es mucho mejor, y finalmente,
¿Cómo encontraste una cookie en la
computadora?
Noemí: ¡Oh, Dios mío! La cosa es que vi las
fotos. Allí estaban, cientos de fotos de ella
y Steve antes de que empezáramos a salir.
Me acerqué a Steve y le pregunté por qué
Sue tenía tantas fotos. No supo qué decir.
¿Puedes creerlo? Él solo tartamudeaba. Me
di la vuelta y me dirigí a mi escritorio. Él
vino justo después de mí, y comenzó a
decir que no era su culpa, que él...
