Knocker Nightmare

On the second episode of Awkward, Jenna's cast is downgraded from a full upper body to a functional, more discrete arm cast. The problem with this is that while changing for her gym class, the mean girl/rich cheerleader, Sadie, snaps a half naked picture of Jenna as her shirt got stuck on her cast. Sadie decides to send the picture around the the entire school with some secret hate towards Jenna, and the viewers still aren't made aware of why Sadie is so mean to Jenna. After finding this out, Jenna is mortified. This issue in the episode shows the power of cell phones in school and how this is relatable to the everyday teenager. Jenna gets called into the guidance office and is questioned at to why she sent the photo around, after Jenna gets Sadie to admit that she sent it the guidance counselor is manipulated by Sadie to simply ignore that it ever happened. With the entire school still talking about it, Jenna sees her hook-up/crush with a large group of people making fun of the picture saying, "Come on guys, it's not like there's anything to even see" and when Matty sees that Jenna had heard him he simply turns away. At the end of the episode, Jenna figures if people are going to talk she minus well give them something to talk about and calls everyone's attention in the middle of the hall. She then flashes the entire student body and gets sent to the office again. What she thought would settle the situation just made it more of an issue and granted her some community service hours.
