Mile, put me down. What if I don't want to put you down? What if I want to carry

you around all day?

Well, then I can't print off my rubber room essay.

I'll be stuck with those freaks forever.

It's bad enough you have to spend first and last period day. I know the better I

do in this essay, the better my chances of getting out.

Then we can spend all our time together.

I like the sound of that.

Do I really have to watch you do love birds suck face? I should go print off

essay. You should have bowed anyway.

Trust building techniques?

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

What's wrong? My laptop is missing.

Well, maybe you should go to this home. No, I would never.

I left my bag in the rubber room for like two seconds to use the washroom.

those kids are bad news.

Especially that sketch bag accident.

Where are you going?

Begging this girl for an extension.

And to get to the bottom of this, nobody sealed for Maya Matlin.

That's a big no -back, apparently.

What's

that?

Wait, we don't have a log due today, do we?

Why should you be king and queen at the sweetheart semi -formal?

You're nominating you and Connor?

It's not that far -fetched.

Claire and Eli went to prom last year.

Yeah, because Eli fixed it. The idiots who vote for the stages care about

Yeah, I mean, look at this question.

If you and your partner started your own romantic comedy, what would it be

called? Talk nerdy to me.

Connor is his own person.

It's sexy.

But will the student body agree?

Rehab. Witness protection.

My dad's a deposed dictator.

This isn't an excuse, this girl. My laptop really was stolen.

Sorry, Maya. There are no extensions.

And no exceptions.

Princess Matlin didn't do her homework?

The laptop was taken.

13 -inch MacBook?

Sticky Y key? That's the one. Have you seen it?

No.

Zig, do you have your assignment?

Bad plan, Blondie.

Zig won't like that.

He basically admitted to taking the laptop.

But I wouldn't be stupid enough to leave it in my bag.

What do you wear to a semi -formal?

Half a ball gown?

We'll find you something perfectly pastel at the mall tomorrow.

Thanks for being so great.

It's been hard at home.

Well, you're my favorite turncoat.

So glad we have each other.

Oh.

Listen up. We got a new student.

Jacqueline. The name's Jack.

Anybody have room for Jack in their group?

We do.

Well, thank you, Ms. Marino.

Hey, Jack, you'll work with Imogen and Becky on the Weimar Republic.

Proto -fascism and hyperinflation.

That's not to love. I like you already.

Maybe we can all get together after school.

Anyone around here make a solid macchiato?

No.

You're funny.

Something much?

I was looking everywhere for you. What are you doing?

I think Zeke stole my laptop.

Want me to punch him in the face?

I have to make sure I'm right first.

Oh, no, wait.

What? You can't follow him alone. He's probably going somewhere sketchy.

Fine.

I guess you're coming with me then.

Incorrect Kid A is totally the superior album.

No, go back and listen to Hello the Thief. It is such an evolution.

Oh, that's how I feel about the new Taylor Swift.

Uh, sorry, um, no, I haven't heard it, but I'm sure it's very poppy.

It is.

It's great.

So I hear the gallery here is, like, beyond. Yeah, they've got the craziest

exhibit. I what what? I saw some of this stuff in Berlin. My ex worked at a

gallery there. Ooh, your PMV asked, did he have a sexy accent?

She was from Michigan.

Uh, guys, it was great chatting with you, but I gotta run.

is the kind I do with my mom.

Hey, do you want to hang out tomorrow?

Maybe go to the gallery?

Do chickens have beaks?

Except, um, we were supposed to go shopping for the semi -formal.

Why don't you just come along?

Sure.

Yeah, that sounds great.

So I'll see you tomorrow.

I hope you're not mad I invited her.

No, no, no.

The more the merrier.

Thanks, sex.

These

jeans

are very uncomfortable.

Try this pair.

With all the holes?

This dress denim is very fashionable.

Also very illogical. How's this helping you with your art projects again?

I'm doing a study on contemporary men's fashion and other stuff.

You looked up when you said that.

So? You look up when you're lying.

I nominated us for king and queen of the sweet art semi -formal. I want to prove

we're a great couple.

And I need new jeans for that?

Well, to get votes, you can't just be a great couple. You have to look like one.

Think of it as an experiment.

What's the research question?

Does changing one's appearance increase one's chance of winning?

And the hypothesis?

Yes.

Give me the genes.

But a hypothesis should be in the form of a complete sentence.

Oh, my God.

Maybe he's squatting.

Squatting? Yeah, you know, living in an abandoned house.

No, that makes no sense.

He lives with his parents.

I

think

I'm just going to go home. I have a lot of homework.

Maybe I'll walk you.

No, it's totally out of your way.

The sun's still up, Miles.

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

Okay.

Call me later?

Of course.

How did you find this place?

I followed you from school.

So what, now you're stalking me?

I just wanted to know if you took my laptop or not.

Oh, you need to go. No, not until you tell me why you're camping out in the

abandoned house.

Sig!

Roses! Get your roses here.

It was awful.

And don't forget to vote for King and Queen.

Or king and king, or queen and queen of the semi -formal. He's living there all

by himself.

You know, I tried to talk to him, but he slammed the door in my face.

He says you're going home.

Miles, I had to know what was going on. Something could have happened.

He could have hurt you. This is Zig we're talking about.

That guy is bad news.

Yeah, and it's my fault.

I blew him off all summer.

Now he's homeless.

Wait.

You think he's squatting because you wouldn't go out with him?

You may be overestimating your effect on guys. I'm just saying, we're friends. I

should have been there for him. This isn't your problem. What are you going

do? Adopt him?

Or date him?

Miles. You really seem to care a whole lot about his welfare.

Yeah, because I have a heart.

Which obviously you three are lacking.

You know, I'm going to talk to Miss Grell.

I'm sure she'd be happy to help.

Rosen!

Please don't tell Claire. This lovely cinnamon hurts so much.

You lived with Fiona, right?

Yeah.

When Imogen dated her, did they have other friends or did they just sit

kissing all day?

No, they didn't have a lot of other friends. And yes, they kissed a lot.

There's sort of this lesbian girl, Jack.

I think Imogen might like her.

Why do you think Imogen's going to ditch you if they start dating? Well, she

already invited her to come shopping. It's only a matter of time before I'm

out completely.

Well, just because they both like girls doesn't mean they're going to hook up.

No, but they have so much in common. They're all like, I will what is so

What?

Exactly.

What am I going to do?

I mean, you could try talking to Imogen.

Why? Don't tell her not to date that super cool chick. I'm afraid of losing

No, because that sounds pretty pathetic.

Maybe you just need a boys' night or a cis night.

Time to bond.

To lock down our BFF ship?

Mm -hmm.

Watch what's in cinnamon!

I won't tell if you don't.

A blanket.

A lamp.

There were some fast food wrappers at the...

Sounds like he's in a tough place. He has a mom and a dad. How can he be

homeless? There might be trouble at home.

He could have run away or been kicked out.

He should have asked for help.

He's probably embarrassed.

My friends told me to mind my own business.

They think he's trouble.

Do you?

Well, last year he wasn't.

So, is there something you can do?

Don't worry.

I'll take it from here.

Can you guys hurry up? This is the girls' bathroom after all. I can't keep

people out of here forever.

Well, the makeover's almost complete. Just need to get these contacts in,

would be a lot easier if Connor stopped blinking them out. I think we should

abort this phase of the experiment.

Contacts can lead to permanent corneal damage.

But we're getting our nominee photo taken after school.

Why do you want me to change so much?

I told you it's for an experiment.

I'm not stupid. What's the real reason?

Maybe I should give you two a minute alone.

Look, I just want people to respect you. Us.

I'm sick of people thinking we're a weird couple.

Why do you care so much what other people think? Because maybe they're

I have a hypothesis.

I don't think the problem is other people. I think it's you.

I'm sorry.

Look, Sig was my friend.

And that's his life now. It's scary.

Did you talk to Ms. Rowe?

Yeah, she said she'd figure something out.

Well, Ms. Good Samaritan, you definitely earned the fun we're going to have at

the semi -formal. You know, you never officially asked me.

Oh, I could have sworn.

I guess I was thinking about my other girlfriend.

You two have a nice time. Maybe call me after.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I promise to be home for dinner.

Go. Beautiful thumb looks good on you.

Who the hell do you think you are?

You told Miss Grell.

As what, like revenge or something?

I didn't steal your stupid laptop, Maya. I don't care about my laptop.

I care about you.

Then you should mind your own business.

You know Grell's going to call Children's Aid?

And since I have nowhere to go, they're going to put me in a group home. Isn't

that better than squatting?

Have you ever seen one of those places?

It's like, why can't you just go back home?

My parents kicked me out.

Oh.

I didn't know.

You don't know anything.

There you are, Connor.

I've been looking for you everywhere to apologize.

You're making a weird face. Are you going to vomit or something?

No, I... Connery, you look amazing.

I can only get my left contact in. My depth perception is terrible. I keep

tripping.

I'm so sorry.

We don't have to do this stupid competition.

I really don't care what other people think.

I accept your apology, and we have to win the competition.

But you think it's stupid.

You don't, and I've read that compromise is important in a relationship.

Jenna Middleton and Conor Deloria, you're up.

Image is an integral part of any political campaign.

Some people think it was a decisive factor in JFK's 1960 victory over Nixon.

What?

You can talk nerdy to me anytime.

And even though I forgot my bra, I got to rewrite the whole dress code.

You're pretty weird, aren't you?

Image is not weird.

It's a good thing.

Anyway. You should wash the city off your hands. It's pretty gross out there.

Bathroom's done well.

Great. Okay.

Be right back.

Now I feel kind of icky. I think I'm going to go wash that too.

Do you want to go to the semi -formal with me?

Fun. We should invite Jack too.

Is it okay if we don't?

We just want a night alone. You know, just the two of us. We can get to know

each other more intimately.

Wow.

Are you sure?

Oh, am I scaring you? I'm really good at this kind of stuff. No, no, no. I

suppose we could give it a try.

I just didn't know you felt that way.

You're the most important person in my life right now.

Okay.

It's a date.

Date?

A date.

I'll pick you up at seven.

Okay. Cooking time.

Bon appetit.

I found your laptop in Katie's room.

Let's just slip down beside the bed.

I was doing the homework in there.

Oh, my God. I'm such a terrible person.

I accused Zig of taking it, and now he's going to be put in a group home. Whoa

there, girly.

Accusing Zig of taking the laptop without proof was wrong.

But talking to Miss Grell wasn't. I don't know, Mom. I've been reading

stories about those places.

They're like Oliver, but without the singing and dancing. Those homes are

expected to do a lot with very limited resources.

It's not fair.

I wish there was something we could do.

Zig spent all that time here last year. It felt like family.

Miss Grell said...

If Zig could find a safe place to stay, then she wouldn't have to call

Children's Aid.

Maya, Zig can't live with us.

Even if it's only for a few weeks?

I have to admit, you guys look good.

We look great.

We're going to win this thing.

Well, Connor definitely has a safe vote.

Hey.

Who are your new friends?

They're not my friends. Just some great nights while math out.

When did they ask you? Like, last week?

No, just now.

After your makeover.

What a coincidence.

The point of this exercise is to trust your partner enough to let them catch

you. So, go ahead, and when I say so, switch.

Drop me and die, Grace.

Hi.

I didn't know what would happen when I talked to Miss Grell. You should have

just stayed out of it. I know, and I'm sorry, but I want to help. And switch?

No, you can't.

Yes, I can. You said if you had a place to stay, then Miss Grell wouldn't call

Children's Aid. Right, but I don't, so she will. But you do have a place to

stay.

What, you're new?

Rich boyfriend is going to spring for sweet.

Less chatting, more falling.

No, but my sister's away at college, so there's an extra room at my house.

Your mom would never say yes. She already did.

Took some convincing.

Also,

there are rules.

10 o 'clock p .m. curfew, no drugs or alcohol, no visitors.

And, um, no hanky -panky.

So, what do you say?

Housemates?

You better not hug the bathroom.

If I hold out, I know I can make it

through. I know I can make it

through.
