Why didn't anyone tell me my talk was gaping like that?

I'm sure it wasn't a problem for at least half the school.

Didn't that shirt used to fit?

It still fits.

Denial isn't just a river down you know where.

Where? Maybe I should have checked out an atlas instead.

Very funny.

Okay.

Let's see here.

Signs of pregnancy can include any or all of these symptoms.

Frequent urination, intermittent nausea, sensitivity to smells, weight gain.

Allie, I'm not pregnant.

Breast tenderness.

Ow. Have you and Casey been sexually active?

Yeah. And have you always been safe?

Just take a test, Jenna. Rule it out. I don't need to.

Especially before the most important audition of my life.

Fine. Then take this. I'm reading while you're waiting in line.

You're not coming to the auditions?

Oh, I'd love to. But I have detention.

Because of you.

Me, got caught trying to sneak these books out of the library.

In other news, the librarian thinks I'm pregnant.

Things I do for you.

Whatever it takes, I know how to make it through.

Get through.

Woo.

Hey, hot stuff. What's the occasion?

Um, hello.

Next team star audition.

Tell me you forgot.

I didn't forget, forget.

We just got that big game after school.

You're not coming with me to the most important audition of my life?

The team needs me.

And haven't I always been there to support you?

Because you're on Power Squad. You're supposed to be there, too.

Not today.

I know you'll do great, but I'm just not sure why I have to be there. Because

it's a huge once -in -a -lifetime chance.

But it's also kind of a one in a million chance, right?

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

I just think you need to be realistic.

Thanks.

That's from Hill, Connor.

I have to go. Bye.

You're not still talking to that lady creep, are you?

She's not a creep and why do you care?

Um. Because A, she is a lady creep, and B, she's like 42 years old.

Bro, when she was our age, you were like... I think I was 12.

Really? Yeah.

It's just weird.

She's just my friend, and we're both into Realm of Doom.

Well, Realm of Doom does rule.

But, no, we're your friends, Connor. Exactly.

Why mess with the rest when you already have the best, huh?

She cares about me, she thinks I'm interesting, and she takes me seriously.

We take you seriously.

Yeah, we just... think you're too serious.

Let's just help you get over it. There's nothing to get over.

Let's go.

Bro, hold up.

Break room with the guys after the game? Shoot some pools, go pull chicks.

I'd love to, but I have other plans.

Dude, you're bailing again?

Never gonna get any action that way.

Big game today, Rockette.

Hey.

Rockette? I'm the team kicker.

It's a gay joke.

Oh, another one.

Don't they bother you, or at least the gay version of you?

I don't even get it.

So do you want to hang out somewhere after the game?

Until football rally and gay rally come together, you're better off hanging out

with the team.

Don't want to cramp your style.

One hazelnut macchiato, your favorite.

I don't think I can stomach it.

Still feeling like crap?

I'm just tighter than my neck.

Yeah, not to be a big brother, but go see a doctor. Okay, okay, I will.

Just not today.

All I'm saying is you're not going to be of any use to anyone if you're yakking

in the audition. You're the one who always says you've got to play through

pain.

I've come this far. No way am I giving up now.

Not. is getting in the way of me and my desk are you okay

i'm fine

it's

not so fast i don't get it here if you click here and i searched for hotties

with their webcams on pretty cool huh why would i want to talk to strangers

strangers no they're just friends you ever met yet guys focus Okay? It's not

about strangers. It's not about your friends. It's about a hot girl. All

go ahead, press it.

Ooh. No, no, next.

Okay.

Next. No.

No.

There,

there, there. Babe alert.

Type something. Like what?

Try hello, dummy. I'm not a dummy. Quick, before they click away.

Do you guys play Realm of Doom?

Con men?

Huh? That's your opening line?

Yeah. Move, let me do it.

Okay, now move over.

Okay.

No, next.

Oh, thanks.

Oh,

wait, wait.

Anya, I was thinking, it's been ages since we hung out. Want to do something

after the game? Sorry, Riley, I've got a lot. I'm going to sleep right now.

Maybe I can help.

Doubt it.

What is it?

School? Guy troubles?

You can tell me. I don't think so.

Whatever it is, it can't be that bad.

My mom has cancer.

Oh.

I'm sorry. I'm going straight to the oncology ward after the game, and I'm

you have better things to do.

Believe it or not, I don't.

It does get boring in the waiting room.

Meet me up front. We'll go together.

Are you sure?

That's what friends do, right?

Hey, Casey.

I'm sorry we had a fight. Can you call me as soon as the game's done?

I'm here waiting for my audition and I really, really need you here.

Please come.

Connor.

Didn't we talk about you spending too much time gaming?

I did everything you told me to do at home. I finished my homework, cleaned my

room. Sorted the recycling?

Even took out the compost.

Fine, I want you home in a deep an hour, okay?

Hey, stranger, where were you? I missed you yesterday.

My friends won't let me talk to you.

But you want to talk to me?

Well, yeah.

Good. I want to talk to you, too. I think we're a lot alike.

How are we alike?

Well, we're both on a quest to find someone who understands us, accepts us

as we are.

You're the first friend I've ever had who does. We could talk some more if you

want.

Oh, the Realm of Doom expansion pack comes out today.

I know. I'm going to go get it after this.

We could go together.

Message me where you'll be and I'll map it. Yeah, for sure. I'll meet you there.

Your name, sweetheart?

Uh, Jenna Middleton.

Well, it's nice to meet you, Jenna Middleton.

Do you have what it takes to be the next teen star?

Uh, yes, sir.

Why is that?

Um, I want it really bad.

Yeah, well, wanting it's not enough.

You need the talent.

I think I have it.

Well, let's see. What are you going to play for us today?

Um, it's something I wrote.

Great.

You can begin any time.

Okay. Sorry.

Sorry.

You know, you're wasting our time here, Ms. Middleton.

Sorry.

I think...

Hey Riley, great game.

All set.

Actually, I'm kind of surprised you're here.

Why?

I guess I just don't get why the winning QB would rather hang out with me at the

hospital than with his team.

Or with Zane.

He's still mad because I can't be myself with the team.

I don't fit in anywhere at school.

Maybe you need to find someone you can be yourself with outside of school?

Maybe I'll find an openly gay football player in the cancer ward.

Oh, sorry, things come out right.

That's okay.

Some things need to stop the humor about.

You know, my mom's only got one more week of treatment left, so if you're

to find that guy, you better hurry.

Jenna, I'm sorry I got your message late.

Casey, I can't believe it.

I know.

But from now on, I promise I'm supportive in everything you do. No, I

messed it up.

I got it. I got it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Hey,

it's not over till it's over.

I'm pretty sure it's over.

You can't give up on your dream.

March back in there and don't take no for an answer.

I'll show them who's their next teen star.

We said meet at the school step, right? Yeah, 1600 hours.

I hit 84 o 'clock.

Yeah, that was almost an hour ago.

I've called him like 10 times.

Where the hell is he?

He can't be that mad at us.

Did you see his side of the game?

Tried, but there's no one online. It's like a ghost town out there.

There's no clues to where he is right now. Couldn't find anything.

Zip, zap, zero.

You don't think he's over Love Queen 16, do you? What about that banner right

there? What about it?

Well, he might be in line for it with her right now.

It's possible, I guess.

Well, it's the best we've got.

But where?

Well, he practically lives a gamer world.

Okay, good. All right, good. Let's roll.

Should we tell Mr. Simpson?

Yeah, shoot him an email.

Done. Good moving, Dave.

You're really funny, Connor. You really make me laugh.

Intentionally? Yes, intentionally. No one's ever told you that before?

No. Come on, I don't believe it. The girls at your school must be all over

They didn't even know I'm alive.

They know you're alive.

You're too handsome not to notice.

It's probably because they just don't understand you the way I do.

You're really mature for your age.

Yeah, maybe that's it.

So what are you doing after this? Do you want to come back to my place and

we'll, like, test out the expansion pack?

Sure, yeah.

Better live up to the reviews.

I'm really glad we met.

Me too.

Excuse me. Hello.

I'm Jenna Middleton from before.

Yeah, you had your chance, darling. I know, but I know I can do this.

I'm sorry about before. I haven't been feeling well. Yeah, well, sorry. That's

the name of the game. It's not like that isn't going to happen in the real

world, right?

Sure, but sometimes the real world gives you a second chance.

Look, I'm sorry, sweetheart. We got to keep things moving here.

Could someone... Oh, Mr. Perfect, you gave everything to me. It felt like

destiny, and you'd call me around on time.

You'd hold my hand, drive around in your car.

He likes to play guitar with the radio.

Has a tattoo, and my parents love him, too.

Never put up a fight, you'd say it's all right. But, Mr. Perfect, you can call

me crazy, because I feel like something's missing.

What did you get for X?

Uh, Y minus five.

Really? I guessed.

Must get a lot of homework done waiting for you, Mom. My mom's daily

radiotherapy was the best thing that could have happened to my mark.

She really can't laugh about it.

Since I have somebody to laugh with.

I mean, she told me I don't have to come, but she's normally pretty tired

treatment.

You're a good daughter.

You're a good study buddy.

You know, I'm actually starting to hope that you don't find that boy that you

can be yourself with.

Tanya, your mom's doing great.

Thanks, Dr. Chris. And I checked out that book that you recommended, and I

it. I'm glad.

This is my friend Riley. Hi, Riley.

Hi.

Your mom will be right out.

Thanks.

So, same time tomorrow?

And the day after that, and the day after that.

Oh, no.

No.

My mom's doctor?

What? You told me to look for someone outside of Degrassi. Well, hands off.

Chris is mine.

You have a crush?

Kind of.

Too bad he's gay.

He's not. My gaydar never fails me. Until now.

We're going to have to settle this.

He's not gay.

You're driving me insane Oh, Mr. Perfect Where's the attitude Dancing in the

rain It's a battle every day Oh, Mr. Perfect Yeah, Mr. Perfect

It's Jenna,

right? Yes.

It's quite a risk singing your own song.

I can play something else if you'd like. That won't be necessary. You had your

chance.

I'm just going to tell her we unanimously agree on this one.

I'm sorry that we ever doubted you.

I didn't? You are.

A natural.

You're a total natural.

Come on, get your ticket.

You could be the next teen star.

I knew

you could do it. I'm sorry.

You okay?

Yeah.

Okay,

well, let's get this next teen star some food stat.

Yeah.

Is everything okay?

What if we miss him? What if he's in costume?

Keep your eyes open.

There. What do we do now? Get him away from that woman.

Connor?

What's going on?

About the expansion pack.

We just ran into each other. Are these your friends?

Yeah, sort of.

I'm Wesley, and this is Dave. Wesley.

Well, you guys probably have stuff to do.

I'll catch up with you online, okay?

See ya.

Excuse me.

I'm so excited, I can't believe it.

Stupid detention.

So, what'd I miss?

Just celebration hummus.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

I need a celebration drink.

Casey, would you mind?

Diva demands begin already.

Quick. Do something with this.

Your celebration hummus? Why? I can't stand the smell, but...

I don't want Casey to get suspicious.

Suspicious of what?

Are you going to take the pregnancy test or what?

Yeah.

Just to rule it out.

Why were you hanging out with that old lady?

What's wrong with you, man?

She's my friend. But she's old.

Really, really old.

Yeah, well, Simpson's old and he still hangs out with me. That's because he's

your guardian. It's like his job.

Why does she want to spend time with you? Doesn't she know people her own

keep telling you, she's just my friend. Nothing bad is happening. Why can't you

believe me?

She did seem pretty nice.

So she's really your friend, huh?

Yeah, we just like the same RPG. That's all.

I'm not stupid.

Well, she's kind of like an old female Connor in a weird way.

Okay, okay. How about we just, you know, back off a bit and give you some space?

Sound good?

Yeah, thanks.

Sorry we scared her away.

Hi. Oh,

crap.

Don't call her.

Was

she

there? Yeah, she just drove away. You know better than this, Connor. Come on.

told him. You should be thanking them.

Get in the car.

Hey.

Nothing's happening.

Are you sure we did it right?

Let's see.

Place on dry surface.

Results side up. And wait for three minutes.

Casey and I should have been more careful.

It's a bit late to be thinking about birth control.

How long is three minutes?

And tiny glass houses are all tumbling down.
