"   Photo: Getty  Being a teenager is universally awkward, but had Dreama Walker been privy to future success, cliques, rumors and the perils of puberty would have been a total breeze. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s like if my 11-year-old self could have conjured this up in my imagination, middle school would have been a lot easier,&amp;quot; the Don&amp;#039;t Trust the B\u2014- in Apartment 23 startells ELLE. Walker is, of course, gushing about working with none other than Dawson Leery, the square-jawed Romeo to our collective adolescent, braces-adorned, Juliet. &amp;quot;He is super, great, funny, wonderful and talented and we are pleased as punch to have him.&amp;quot; James van der Beek, who plays a sardonic version of himself on the new show, is just one of the unexpected elements to the surprisingly hilarious (and zeitgeist-y) comedy, premiering Wednesday at 9:30PM EST on ABC. &amp;quot;We are constantly cracking up on set and at table reads,&amp;quot; Walker chirps from her West Hollywood homestead (apartment number redacted). &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s always a race to be like, `This part is amazing.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; As for whether or not the sweet-looking actress has trouble channeling her own bitchy side, she says, &amp;quot;I am in love with girls that are bad and naughty and badass, and a little selfish,&amp;quot; before adding, &amp;quot;but I like to watch from a respectful distance!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I just can&amp;#039;t believe it&amp;#039;s a show on ABC,&amp;quot; Walker said. And with recurring jokes like, &amp;quot;Ducking behind a `chubbo,&amp;#039;&amp;quot; and a whip cream bikini popping up in episode one, neither can we! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
