Miles?

Miles!

Miles!

Miles, stop!

Miles, no!

Another Miles nightmare?

It won't stop.

I'm so anxious. I haven't slept in days.

Well, uh, I could sing you a lullaby.

Oh, I'll do it.

I don't think I won't.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Oh,

okay, thank you. And I'm gonna have nightmares about that.

Well, then my job here is done.

But seriously, Maya.

You need help.

No.

I just need to get my mind off Miles.

Well, then I could give you some Kanye.

I've got his entire catalog memorized.

No, no, I don't think that's going to cut it.

Hey.

Can I be a cheerleader?

Absolutely not.

You have all the coordination of a drunk hippo.

Oh, my God.

You look like crap. What's wrong with you? I haven't been sleeping. So you're

sure there's nothing I can do for the cheer team?

Oh. I do need someone to craft some sweet mashup tracks.

Perfect. My garage band skills are really coming along.

This is not something I hand to you lightly.

If anything goes wrong, we could get disqualified. Are you up to shouldering

this kind of responsibility?

Absolutely. You can count on me.

Great. So, 30 seconds in, I need a sound cue for... Maya?

Sorry.

Miles is MIA.

What do you think he is?

Oh, you know.

Probably off doing something predictably self -destructive.

I've been missing class a lot lately and acting really weird.

If you say so.

So come to the gym at lunch. I'll have some of the girls run the routine. I

you to know this baby inside and out.

Matlin, did you hear me?

Absolutely. Inside and out.

So you're telling me you never once just thought eyeballs are so weird?

Not once.

Whatever. Maybe I'm just a freak.

No, I love that these are things that play your weird little mind. And I love

you.

Wow, they add.

Okay, I'm going to finish the coding. You guys cover design and analysis.

What's so funny?

Arlene's face in this picture.

That's not very nice.

Yeah, okay, St. Frankie.

If I don't get an A in this class, it'll bring down my whole average.

Which means we're going to have to finish at lunch.

Sorry, Franks. We've got your practice.

Of course you do.

Is that a touchy subject for you, since Zoe booted you off for being a prude?

Okay, I wasn't kicked off.

I quit.

And I don't want to talk about it.

I just want to focus on getting this work done.

Your freaky brother's in this class.

Get the answers from him.

Yeah, it's like his twin duty.

Okay, first of all, that would be dishonest.

And second, there's no way he'd agree.

Well, you better find a way if you want the grade.

Nice.

Lock the knees. Tighten up. Tighten up.

And this is where we need the 45 -second break for cheering. If we do not have

one, it's this qualification city.

Miles? What are you doing?

Miles! Earth to Matlin. No!

Can you please pay attention?

I swear, Maya, if you mess this up for me... Well, let's just say it won't be

pretty. Right, totally.

I'm all yours.

Miles,

what are you doing?

Miles, stop!

No!

Maya.

Where the hell'd she go?

Tough day in the mines, Blondie?

Uh, she's been stressed out lately.

Then you definitely need to come with us.

Where are you going?

To, uh, relax.

You in?

It'll help you forget whatever's troubling you.

That sounds perfect.

What do you want, Frankenstein?

A sister can't have lunch with her beloved brother without suspicion?

You haven't eaten lunch with me since May of sixth grade. Just tell me what

want. Your computer science homework?

I usually do my work with Shay and Lola, but they're too busy with cheerleading.

Why are you still friends with them? Aren't they the reason you got kicked

of cheerleading in the first place?

It wasn't them specifically.

But they didn't defend you?

No.

I'd rather spend the rest of my life alone than have friends like them.

Okay. Thanks for the pep talk.

I guess that's a no on the homework answers. How can I say this for you to

understand? I would sooner see all the cheerleaders die in a fire than help

them.

Watch my stuff. I'm getting a cream soda.

Okay, brother.

Where are the schoolwork at?

A comic?

Oh, my God.

Hunter really does hate cheerleaders.

Hi. About what I said before, I didn't really mean it. I mean, I did mean what

said, I just didn't mean that you should feel like you have to say it back.

Unless you felt that way too, which in this case would be very, very nice for

you to say it back, but only if you mean it.

Do you know what I mean?

I think we should break up.

Very funny, Phyllis Diller.

Wait, are you serious?

It's not that I don't like being with you.

Okay.

I didn't expect this to turn into a monogamous thing. You didn't? And I'm

worried that you think I'm into exclusive relationships.

You're not?

I just don't know if I buy into this heteronormative idea of romantic love.

Just because we like being together doesn't mean we own each other. I don't

think I own you. I never brought it up because I didn't know how you felt about

it. About what?

Polyamory.

Non -monogamy.

Okay, you mean dating other people while we're dating each other?

I get it if it's too much for you.

Okay? I just wanted to be honest before things went any further. No.

No, no, no. I totally get it.

I actually feel the same way about all that stuff.

Okay, so... Yeah, so that's something you're good with?

Oh, my God, yeah.

Why didn't you just say something before?

Cool.

Yeah, great.

You know, maybe we should take the night off?

Postpone our date?

Okay, yeah.

Great. Bye.

Bye.

Aren't you ever gonna try it?

I can't believe this is what you thought would make me relax.

What? Did you think we were going to get you hired or something?

Yeah, kind of.

It's the middle of the day. Who do you think we are?

You know, I feel like my white crane is way more fluid than it was last week.

It's so weird.

We're weird?

Why should we be such a downer?

Why do you think Miles wasn't in class today?

Not this again. If I can prove to you he's fine, will you shut up about it?

Maybe, but how are you going to do that?

Far of the internet.

He's got to get into his space range messages.

It's at home.

He just messaged Tristan this morning. Oh, my God.

Tristan asked him how he feels, and Miles responded, I want to kill myself.

what, Maya? I mean, people say that all the time.

Yeah, and sometimes they mean it.

This house.

Makes me want to start the operation as a proletariat. All right, hurry up. Hey,

I'm missing my tai chi for this. It'll be nice.

You guys, stand guard.

What the hell are you doing?

Checking to see if you're alive.

What?

Tristan asked you how you were feeling and you said you wanted to kill

Okay, because I have a head cold and I feel like crap.

Wait.

Did you hack my face range account?

I... Have you totally lost your mind?

Oh, hell no. Back off my BF, bitch. Chris, it's not what it looks like. Oh,

really? Because it looks like you're trying to dig your trampy little talons

into my man. I was checking on him. Look, she's crazy. She hacked my face

Wow.

You've gone full girl and trapped it on us here tell me tell me what's really

going on get out of my house Are

you

feeling okay you haven't said anything in over three minutes is that unusual

have you met you?

Not that I don't love your loquaciousness

More than the day calendar.

Okay, when I say hunter, what do you think of?

Psycho?

Maladjusted weirdo?

Okay, I'm going to show you something, but you have to promise you're not going

to freak out. I promise nothing?

Okay, I'll try my best.

Hot new online comic?

Nope. Hunter drew this.

Oh.

Oh.

Yikes. That looks like him murdering a bunch of people that look a lot like...

Cheerleaders.

Exactly.

What do I do?

Call the police.

You're joking, right?

Fifty percent joking.

You don't think Hunter would actually hurt people, do you?

Well, Hunter's always been a bit weird, but... Franks, those are dark.

But if I tell on him, he could get into a lot of trouble.

I need to make sure there's something to be worried about.

Well, you need more evidence.

I guess we're gonna have to do some reconnaissance.

Howdy, friend.

I hate my life.

Wow, that Claire Drew saga has done a number on you.

You think?

I know something that'll cheer you up.

Going on a date with me.

I'm sorry, what?

I'm polyamorous now, and besides, Jack, you're the only person I like enough to

go on a date with, even though I have no desire to bet you.

Sorry.

Back it up a little.

I told Jack I loved her, and then she said thanks.

And then she wanted to break up because she wants to be...

Polyamorous? Wait, like, date other people and each other?

And you agreed?

Well, only because I didn't want to lose her.

Why do you think it was a bad idea?

The worst I've ever heard.

Look, the idea of a person I love running around kissing and whatevering

they want?

No, thank you.

Right.

I don't want to be polyamorous. I just want Jack, and I just want her to want

me.

Unfortunately, you can't control other people's emotions, but you can tell her

how you feel.

I told her I loved her and look how that turned out.

Well, in that case, there's plenty of room in my pit of despair.

What?

She's on a date with another girl.

This makes you want to barf.

Where are you going?

You're right.

I need to tell her how I feel, and if I don't, I won't be able to live with

myself. Or you could just give up. Not yet, Goldsworthy.

Not yet.

I don't know if I can do this.

I know it's an invasion of privacy, but I'm worried.

It's not that.

It's scary in here.

I just need a little more intel.

Bingo. It's the rest of the comic.

Okay, so the masked Avenger savagely attacks all the evil zombie

Okay, still not good.

So he can rescue the princess they've locked up in their dungeon.

The princess who looks a lot like Arlene.

Who? She's this girl in our grade who Shay and Lola and I haven't been the

nicest to.

Hunter's not psycho.

He's just in love.

So what, this is normal?

I would say this is as close to normal as Hunter's ever going to get. This is

him wishing he could get up the nerve to be this girl's hero.

What are you guys doing in my room?

Um, I was just looking for your computer's homework.

You're violating my privacy to steal homework answers for two idiots who

even nice to you?

Yes. It's okay to be mad at people, especially when they screw you over.

Okay?

I don't want to take the night off.

And I don't want to do stuff with other people. I don't want you to do stuff

with other people.

And I don't want you to want to do stuff with other people.

Can we do this somewhere else? I love you, Jack Jones.

And even though I barely understood any of that heteronogamy stuff, I think you

only said it because you're scared. And I get it. Commitment is scary, but I

want to take that leap.

And if we break each other's hearts in the end, then so be it.

But I'm a one -woman woman.

It's just who I am.

I'm gonna go.

Probably a good idea.

Maya, stop.

I can't.

Maya, please, all right?

You're freaking me out.

What is wrong with you?

He blocked me.

You beg me to let you do the true music and then you totally bail on me? Why

would you do that? I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'd really

an explanation. I can't let it happen again. I can't. I can't.

Whoa.

Maya?

Okay, Maya, deep breaths, all right?

Right here.

Okay?

Night, guys.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Joining you in your wallowing.

I take it things didn't go well with Jack?

It literally could not have gone worse.

I'm sorry, Imogen.

But if I can be real, love's a lie anyway.

And the sooner you accept that, the better.

I hope you don't have any plans after your shift.

I feel like binge -watching a TV series until my eyeballs fall out of my head.

Now you speak my language.

Oh,

one sec.

Hello?

You were right.

What?

About me being scared.

Okay? We've always moved around so much that I just...

I never saw the point in getting close. And while there are parts of what I said

I believe, none of it's worth losing you over.

I want to take that leap.

Okay, I love you, Imogen Marino.

Okay, for total mind obliteration, I recommend battle... Sorry.

Imogen?

Are you there?

speak right now but um i love you too i'll be there as soon as i can

um that was my mom she had like the

flu so um i'm gonna come see you tomorrow with pizza

miles

miles

What if I have this dream for the rest of my life?

Miles thinks it's me, that he's fine and I'm the one with the problem.

He's messed up and I know it.

Maya, this is taking over your life.

You think I'm crazy?

I think you need help.

I think you're right.

I'm going to talk to my mom tomorrow.

Is there anything I can do?

Try that lullaby again.

Hey, Frankie!

Back here.

Sorry, Shay.

I'm gonna sit up front today.

Hey, is anyone sitting here?

Uh, no. Go ahead.

You have a little something on your desk. Thanks.

You're into comics?

Yeah, I'm pretty much obsessed.

Me too.

The new Black Orchid totally blew my mind. Yeah.

But you know who's the most amazing comic artist?

Hunter. Really?

Mm -hmm.

Hunter. Yeah? Why don't you switch seats with me so you can tell Arlene about

that new line work technique you were showing me?

Yeah, okay.

So, is that your last one?

Yeah. Do you, uh, go?

Yeah. Don't know why, don't know where, don't care unless it's all the same.

Yeah.

Whatever it takes, I know I can make it through.

If I hold out I know I can make it through

I know I can make it through
