The New Kid: Difference between revisions

At [[Lawndale High]], Jodie convinces Daria to try to join the yearbook comiteecommittee by suggesting she maneuvers her parents into bribing her. Daria does just that, asking her parents for a new computer software.

The next day, at the yearbook committee, Daria is approached by [[Ted DeWitt-Clinton]], who surprises her by complementing her pictures and recognizing sarcasm. They bond during the following days as they talk about photography and literature. Ted reveals he had been homeschooled until that year. However, their quiet time at the yearbook ends when Ted convinces [[Anthony DeMartino|DeMartino]] to assign pages reserved for sports and clubs to other initiatives, despite the protests from other students. Daria and Ted are singled out sas the authors of this motion.

The next day at the yearbook, the [[the Fashion Club]], plus Kevin and Brittany, try again to convince DeMartino to return the pages taken from clubs and sports. However, Ted intervenes and is able to send the whole group away, first by loudly announcing ana (inexistentnonexistent) sale at [[Cashman's]] and then by applying a joint lock on Kevin, making him retreat in pain. This so impresses Daria that she convinces him to take him out for pizza. That evening, the two teenagers go out and tentatively reveal they like each other. Things go wrong, however, when they enter a medieval world simulator in the video arcade. Daria feels sick in the virtual world and quickly leaves, but Ted is joined in the VR by Robert and some friends. TheseThey try at first to harass them, but quickly change their minds as Ted first defeats them in a sword fight and then leads them in adventures in the virtual world.

Daria and Ted are targeted for harassment by [[Kevin]], [[the [[Fashion Club]], and [[Robert]] and his friends. While Kevin and the Fashion Club's plan is to stand there being annoying and Robert's unsure ''why'' he needs to harass Daria and the gang end up befriending Ted, this is the only time in the show that bullying rears its head.
