St. Paul, MN - Just two weeks since
graduation from Middlebury High School and Josh Skolnick has
already ignored volumes of advice his schoolmates wrote in
his yearbook.
Several of the pearls of wisdom, including
"don't be a stranger" seemed to have fallen on deaf
ears and according to friends, have been completely ignored
by Skolnick so far this summer.
"It's as if he didn't even read what
I wrote for him," said Ryan Offer, a close friend of
Skolnick's since freshman study hall. "I wrote that we
should totally get crazy this summer before college and now
he doesn't even return my calls."
Ex-girlfriend Sara Harding agrees, explaining
that she suggested that her and [Skolnick] "should really
go camping at the beach" and possibly take their relationship
to the next level now that he's no longer dating rival cheerleader
Becky Fremont.
Despite repeated warnings in Skolnick's yearbook
not to "do anything I wouldn't do," Skolnick allegedly
went ahead and did lots of things most of his friends would
never do.
"I couldn't believe when I heard he went
drinking and stole his parent's Mercedes when they were out
of town," Harding said. "I never, ever would have
done that!"
"Thank God he didn't get arrested,"
former soccer teammate Brian Sutter said. "I specifically
wrote in his annual to 'stay out of jail, you dog'"
Even English teacher Mr. Spence wrote to Skolnick
in his yearbook that he needed to brush up on his expository
writing during the summer to prepare for college-level classes.
"I wrote in his yearbook that he needs
to focus and then gave him a suggested summer reading list,"
Spence said. "It appears based on his behavior that he
had thumbed his nose at everyone's advice including mine."
The normally sociable Skolnick, known for
partying and underage drinking, has also surprisingly ignored
all requests to "down a few this summer."
In a written statement, Skolnick finally responded
to he allegations, explaining he's been busy working in the
mailroom of his father's accounting firm, despite repeated
calls "not to work too hard this summer."
"First of all, we've only been out of
school for two weeks and second, despite everyone's notes
in my yearbook advising me not to, I've decided to get back
together with Becky Fremont which has taken up a lot of my
free time," Skolnick wrote. I don't care how many of
you think she's a skanked out whore. She's changed and so
have I!"
"And yes, I accidentally left my yearbook
in my locker and haven't seen it since. Sorry"
