In the newest installment on 'NYC Prep', awkward teenagers are awkward.
PC is on the hunt for a girl, not just a casual hook-up but real, live girl who he can talk to about clothes and money and how petty high school is. So he gets set up on a blind date by his friend (who is 25, what kind of a 25 year old is hanging out with some boy in high school???) and the girl doesn't show up. It's actually really sad watching consistently smug and conceited PC broken.
Meanwhile, Jessie's fat friend is having a birthday party. Everyone's invited and no one seems to be talking to birthday girl. It's kind of sad.
But I've gotten ahead of myself. See, Kelly is still desperately seeking Sebastian but he seems to have only eyes for Taylor. It's all pretty gross once you think about how young these girls are and the lengths that they'll go to to hook up with a skeezy, charmless cad. Did I mention charmless, because this kid is like a piece of cardboard.
As an aside, can we discuss Camille's, for lack of a better word, strangeness? Aside from the physical ticks that make me feel awkward just watching, there is an uncomfortable desperation about her. Everyone is sort of desperate on this show. Desperate to be witty and charming and important just like Mommy and Daddy or those people on that Gossip Girl show they pretend so diligently not to watch. But Camille, oh Camille. She takes the cake. Camille, whose emotional fragility has made her almost transparent, looks to be the type of girl who you heard about finally exploding one night in high school after drinking five Mike's Hard Lemonades and having a sophomore with pock-faced skin throw up on her. Except Camille is disappointed in her nearly perfect SAT scores and she's got more money than she knows what to do with and no boys ever, ever, ever pay attention to her. Not even pock-faced sophomores. Oh, to be thrown up on. I predict that Camille will have a mental breakdown at some point this season. At some point in her life? She'll end up doing a line off of a toilet stall in Port Authority while trying to find her way back to the VIP booth at The Hawiian Tropic Bar.
In next week's episode: PC GETS CALLED OUT FOR BEING BISEXUAL. FOR REAL.
