You shouldn't wear these while you work alone.

You never know what crazy dude might sneak up on you. Well, I don't think

is exactly teaching me my lesson.

Okay, stop. We can't. Come on.

Well, hers will finish early. No one's around.

Well, Simpson gave me after I was active to work on my research, not make out

with you. It's been like five days since the last time we... Did it.

Okay, wait for 13 minutes.

Dave? No, look.

What should I do?

Vamoose! Aren't you going to get in trouble?

Yeah, but I'll get in more trouble if I'm caught here with you, so go!

Ali, I'm so sorry.

Just go!

I can

make

it.

Please, please, please do not shut down my experiment. I am so, so sorry about

the damages. But my aunt, she died from breast cancer, and I am like one or two

transitional metal compounds away from perfecting a breast cancer -detecting

breathalyzer. I'm just, you don't understand how important this research

I don't understand it at all.

And although I'm not exactly happy about the scorched table, I'm not going to

shut you down.

You're not.

When I didn't get it, I sent a proposal to an old student of mine at MIT.

And she is very impressed.

She is?

Mm -hmm. In fact, she's in town recruiting. She'd like to meet with you.

Um, but I don't graduate for another year, so... Actually, you have

already earned a couple credits from your science camp and another from the

Grade 9 gifted program.

You just need a class or two and an independent study project and... And I

graduate a year early.

And work with a team of scientists pursuing similar research at MIT.

Whoa.

Imagine you can travel back in time.

When in history would you stop and why? This is the essay question that decides

whether or not I get into university?

These university applications are going to make your heads explode.

Why? I am not applying.

Whoa, new do.

Yeah, I wanted something that said, bastard guys, stay the hell away.

Your mouth is saying that pretty clearly, too. Yeah, thanks, Mom.

Um, did I seriously hear you say you're not applying to university?

Yeah, yeah, I'm staying home to work for my dad.

Martin & Martin Construction's on school, right?

Uh, you want to stay here?

I am getting as far away as possible, only applying to Hawaii and California.

Oh, you're right. It's way better to choose your school based on how far you

run from your problems.

Well, at least I'm not throwing away my future.

Well, that's rich, coming from a girl that threw away the student council

presidency for petty revenge.

Sheesh, would you two just make out already?

My future's fine.

I've been researching environmentally friendly design. While you guys freak

over essays, I'll be changing the world.

You feel that?

Oh, um... Hey, Rocky.

This way.

As if you're going to sit with those girls, but are you gay?

Sitting with girls is gay? No. What questions like that are?

We're going to watch a girl's dance practice after school. Two words.

Spandex. You in?

Me?

I... I can't. I have to Skype with my girlfriend back home.

Jamie. Cool.

Gotta keep the ladies happy.

Isn't Jamie a dude's name?

I cannot believe this is real.

I can't believe it's you, not me. I mean, you love high school. I mean, not

much.

I feel like I'm going to be sick. Why am I so nervous?

Maybe because you haven't told Dave yet?

Dave! Dave.

Tell me what?

I'm going to go.

What? I have to present my experiment to someone from the Massachusetts

Institute of Technology this afternoon because they might want me to go there

kind of next year.

Are you serious?

MIT, the chances of me getting in are practically nothing.

Yeah, I like those thoughts.

It's... I'd miss you like crazy.

But, I mean, we can get through anything together, right?

Right. Right.

Bye.

I've been waiting for a while now to hear your name.

Saunders! Saunders! Saunders! Saunders! Saunders!

So, uh, is the net named Jamie?

You don't really have a girlfriend back home, do you?

So you just didn't want to hang with us.

You know we don't bite.

Um, you guys just kind of make fun of me.

Because we like you.

Why don't you come hang with us at the mall tomorrow?

Pick up some chicks?

Well, that's the night before a game.

So? You need to relax.

Look, I know I wear the big C, but you're supposed to be the star.

The boys need to see the real you.

No excuses, Ruck. You're coming.

What about the solar -based water heating system?

For a women's future, they have, like, one thing. Every little bit helps.

We lost the idea, pal, especially since we have zero experience with green

design. Yeah, but, Dad, I've been researching.

I'll be here all day if I have to. Martin Martin Construction needs to go

Well, it's still just Martin's construction, okay? This Martin. You

here all day. You have classes, remember?

Yeah, but you said so yourself. The most important learning happens on the job.

Yeah, after you finish school.

Hey, Dad. Jake.

It's settled. I'm doing this one on my own. Are we clear?

Yeah, loud and clear, but... It wasn't here.

Clear?

Jeez, pal.

You've become such a little tree hugger, huh?

And then I expose the sensor compound to the cancer compound found in breath and

measure the reaction.

See, I believe I'm on a path to discovering a compound that can measure

traces of breast cancer found in a person's breath as accurately as police

measure for alcohol.

May I ask a couple questions?

I'm sure. How do you have access to the cancerous breath compound necessary to

run your test?

Well, there were a lot of research. I learned how to make it. I manufacture it

right here in the lab.

And the sensor compound?

I'm working through a series of compounds using transition metals. We

possibly be making those here.

No. My science teacher, Mrs. Cohen, orders them for me. So I save up and buy

small amounts of two at a time.

Impressive.

Well...

I haven't exactly achieved the accuracy I'm hoping for, but I think I'm close.

I just need to save up for the next patch.

She's more ambitious than you said.

She reminds me of you when you went here, actually.

One more question.

And then she offered me a full scholarship to MIT as one of only two

in her lab to beat breast cancer.

MIT. The MIT. As a research student, not a research subject, right? She was

clear? Yes.

Easy. I haven't exactly accepted yet.

Why not?

I don't know. I thought maybe we should talk about it.

I'll be so far away so soon. That's why Steve Jobs gave us FaceTime.

I've got to call my brother. My son is a doctor. Well, my daughter is curing

cancer.

After all those boy -crazy years and running away, you have become such a

beautiful young woman.

Aku kozav. He'll be so proud.

Guess you're going then.

I guess so.

Wait, today is Wednesday, right?

All day.

And why am I only taking Monday's birth control pill now?

Oh. Uh, okay, just take three. And be careful from now on. But it's no biggie.

Uh, yeah, biggie. I missed two pills this cycle, which time Dave and I...

don't freak out.

Yes, freak out. This is huge news, which you must come tell your uncle. He

thinks I'm punking him.

It's the emergency.

I missed two pills between here and here, and Dave and I had sex here while

could have been ovulating.

I'm really getting to know you. Which means I could be pregnant.

Whoa.

You used a condom, though, right?

We did not.

I mean, I was on the pill. We both had clean STI tests. I don't know. We just

got caught up in the moment. Allie.

Someone call MIT and let them know how stupid I am.

Tell me I'm freaking out over nothing.

What I think is, after school, you should go take a pregnancy test.

Then you'll know for sure.

You're right.

You're right, but I can't wait that long.

This is perfect for you. I'll fill out the forms. You'll be fine. Thanks.

I'm for literature.

You're in for it.

You dropped something.

Huh?

The cycling bin's right here.

So? So, put the can where it belongs.

What, like... Like this?

Where did the cans go? Are you some kind of crazy tree hugger or something?

Hey! Hey, pick it up now!

Come on.

Want to get close and personal?

Do it in detention.

Okay, in three minutes I can get back to being excited for MIT.

Aliyah? Mom?

What are you doing home?

I could ask you the same thing.

It's a pregnancy test. It's an enormous deal.

She's 17 and Jenna has already given up one baby. She trying to ruin her life?

All

right,

Rook, you're up.

Um, okay.

Over that table, into that lady's purse.

Off or back?

No way.

All right, run.

I played ball back home until they made me pick between it and hockey.

Well, I got to say, we're all really glad he picked hockey.

All right, next order of business.

Why don't you have a girlfriend?

I don't know.

I guess I've just always been too busy with hockey.

What's the point of being so good if you're not going to use it?

Use it?

Like how?

Future NHLer Campbell Saunders.

You're going to be a millionaire. Ladies love millionaires. You should be going

out with a different girl every weekend.

You know what?

Let's test out those powers right now.

On that girl.

I'm very disappointed in you, Jenna.

We knew you had a baby when you came here, but we were not aware that you

trying to make another.

I'm not. I don't even have a boyfriend.

Okay, Mom, I think she's had enough.

Enough what?

We took her in. We took responsibility for you, and you still behave like a

floozy? Okay, Mom, go easy on her. What if I came home pregnant?

Oh, Aaliyah, we don't have to worry about that. We both know you would never

make such a huge mistake.

There will be some new rules.

You will have no boys over. You will have a curfew of 9 p .m.

Fail to follow these rules, and you will have to find a new place to live.

Thank you.

Hey.

It's a girl like you doing in detention.

I have a boyfriend.

Boyfriend? You wish.

Oh, no, trust me, I do not.

But as far as jerks go, you're ever so slightly less jerky than that jerk.

Thanks for noticing.

Hey, I thought you weren't going.

I had a whole plan, but poof, it's gone because I can't convince my dad I know

what I'm doing.

Well, how do you feel?

The school board set aside money for environmental initiatives, and no one

how to spend it.

Yeah, I don't think my dad will be that impressed by me building some shed for

the dumpsters.

So let's go look for something bigger than that.

Now? I've been cleaning classrooms for two weeks, and you've got to learn to

trust your girlfriend.

Okay.

Okay, let's do this.

What? I, um... Are you lost?

Yes.

In your eyes.

You're hitting on me?

Um... Look,

I'm gonna be in the NHL in a couple years.

Probably gonna be, like, a millionaire, so... Oh.

So you want to purchase me?

Do you... Do you want to get out of here?

Go get some... Sex?

Okay,

my mom's gone.

I am so sorry. I panicked. I owe you my life.

And I was like... Five more minutes until Dave gets here, so... Are you

tell him?

Not until I know for sure.

Great, I can't take this until ten days after conception? That's like five more

days. Guess you'll just have to wait? No, I can't. I'm freaking out. I just, I

need to convince myself that I'm not pregnant.

Tell me what it feels like so I know I'm not feeling it.

When you're pregnant?

Yeah.

Uh, I felt kind of sick.

You felt sick?

Moody. Oh, my boobs were tender.

Tender where?

You're trying to convince yourself.

What are we going to do?

Thought we could get a bird's eye view of the school grounds.

Find some place for a garden or a greenhouse.

Oh, gee.

So what do you think?

What about up here?

A sustainable rooftop garden with organic produce and flowers.

A little stage that runs on solar power. Maybe it may be a rain basin.

This will prove to my dad that I know exactly what I'm talking about.

Cool.

This is my favorite part.

Are we really going to watch this whole movie?

I'm not feeling that well.

Yeah, no kidding. Tell her after the bag of chips you just done me. I was

hungry, okay?

Whoa, why so moody?

God.

You can tell.

If you're worried about this whole fast -tracking thing,

I'm worried that... I'm pregnant.

What?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean,

you said I didn't need to use a condom. And I know this is all my fault.

But we can handle it, right? We can get through anything together. Remember, you

said... How?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Well, I guess... It means you're not going to MIT.
