Jenny, Harvey and others in “Geek Like Me”

Hey Harvey, help us out: Sabrina’s got a problem.

What’s up?

Well, I was thinking of joining the Science Club-

Really? I didn’t know you were a geek.

I’m not. That’s the problem; I’m afraid everyone will think I am.

Well. they will.

I explained that we can’t change the whole system just for her.

Well, why does everyone have to be stuffed in a category? I mean, I don’t get it, look around: [points at various tables] The cheerleaders only eat with the cheerleaders, The geeks only eat with the geeks... I just don’t want to be labelled.

You have no choice. You have a grace period as a new student, but pretty soon, you’re going to be stereotyped.

Well, what are you guys?

Well, I’m a quasi-jock with semi-literary aspirations and a hint of denialism.

If only it was that simple for me. Jenny, what are you?

I tried to be an outsider, but I didn’t really fit in. Now Libby calls me a freak, and I’m okay with that.

Well... why can’t I just be me?

That’s a pretty small group.
