I was finally able to catch the last two episodes of 'Laguna Beach' and I was so frustrated while watching them! The first episode is "Break-Up Season". Poor Rocky! She had been dating Alex (a senior) and things seemed to be going so well. Then, we cut to Rocky & Tessa sitting on the beach talking about how Rocky had been freaking out & asked Alex to come over. HE said no. She was angry that he wouldn't come over when she needed him & they fought about this on the phone.
Cut to Alex talking with his friend and he says that Rocky is pretty 'narly'...this is a bad thing....and that he doesn't want to be involved in suc a serious relationship. Now he just has to tell her this.
Cut to Rocky and Alex on the beach. They are discussing their relationship. She says she'll work on changing because she really cares about him. He says she won't change. She says "that's what relationships are all about. We change for the other person to make things work". They end with Alex saying "we'll see how this goes".
Alex is next seen grabbing a bite to eat with a friend & they run into Lexie &
her friend Rachel. He introduces himself as the girls say "You're Raquel's boyfriend!". He mentions the bonfire & says "You guys should really come".
Next we see Rocky & Alex arrive at the bonfire separately. He goes over & hugs her and puts his hand on her shoulder. Then he goes off to chill with his friends. She asks him to take a walk with her & he decides to break up with her. Right there. He goes back to the group and, in front of Rocky, asks Lexie & Rachel for their numbers. JERK!
Episode 2 is "Three-Day Rule". I don't care to focus on Tessa's nonrelationship with Derrick nor her convo. with Chase about how guys have 3day rules where they don't have to talk to their girlfriend and the girl shouldn't be concerned until it hits three days of no contact. Dumb. Anyway, Chase's band 'Open Air Stereo' finally has a gig to play. The whole LBHS is going to be there.....shocker.....and Alex decides to call Rachel to see if she & Lexie want to go with him & his friend. Rachel says she'll call & let him know. He tells his friend that 'yeah--the girls are coming'......ummm....no. Rachel didn't say that. This is where we see Alex has issues understanding reality.
Rocky & Tessa go to the gig with Nick...a friend from school & Cameron's close bud. They look so cute & are out just to have fun. Rocky is talking with Nick & another guy on and off & trying to have fun. Alex & friend show up with no girls in tow. Lexie & Rachel decided he was pretty lame to take their numbers right after breaking up with Raquel. Thank god these girls have sense in them!
Alex sees Rocky having fun & starts telling people she's a slut. As he & his friend leave, Rcoky goes outside and hears him say "She's so desperate for attention. What a slut" and begins to cry.
So, wait. He can dump her in front of a whole crowd & ask other girls for their number right in front of her. And when the girls don't respond to going to a concert with him & he sees his ex.....the girl HE dumped.....out trying to have fun with other people, she's the slut but he isn't a loser? How does this work in the fantasy world of Alex?
Sad thing is that many of these men never mature. They will always resort to calling the girl a slut because they are so insecure. Get a grip.
