A Sucker Is Born

This hilarious short story ponders the question, “Does every dork have his day.”


After the beestings, fruit punch bucket traps, and forced exorcisms in the middle of the dance floor, eighth grade geek Justin Kalrizian is fed up being at the bottom of the junior high food chain. Every Tuesday, he and his friends are served up to the popular kids as prank bait. However, this week will be different, at least in Justin’s mind. He has a plan to change his social status and it involves turning his English class into a musical flash mob. Can he pull off the performance of a lifetime and go from dud to stud? Or will his new crush throw him a curve ball, forcing this geek to an all-time new low?
