Oh, hey.

Um, your mom said I could help myself.

Oh, yeah, of course.

This is really weird, isn't it?

Uh, yeah, kind of.

Uh, can I get you something?

No, it's okay. Um, I'm an independent woman.

Oh, hey, what are you doing here?

Surprising you with the ride to school.

Um, listen, I need to talk to you about something.

You can be first.

My Madeline.

You come to the sweetheart semi -formal with me.

Hey, Maya.

What's he doing here? That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

Come

on,

how many times do I have to say I'm sorry?

Maya, there's another guy sleeping in your house.

You trust me, don't you? Yes, but not Zig.

I mean, he deals drugs.

That's just a rumor.

Yeah? Have you asked him?

I promise you there's nothing to worry about, okay?

I can prove it.

We can all hang out at the dance together.

You're joking.

Please, Miles.

You were lucky you're cute.

I'm lucky you're the best.

Look at those nine girls.

Their perfect little faces, their perfect little bodies.

Whoa, green monster much?

I'm in crisis mode, Allie. Connor's been tutoring those girls.

A lot.

Yeah, but don't you trust him?

I mean, it is Connor after all.

Except now he's Connor 2 .0.

Ease up, clinger. You need to relax.

Or I can nip this in the bud.

Okay. Experiment's over. Results are inconclusive.

No, results are very conclusive. I've gotten three double takes and seven

compliments today alone.

Then we've collected enough data. Where's your nerdy t -shirt? You still

win king and queen, don't you?

Yes. Then you're being irrational.

Yeah. I guess I am.

During hyperinflation, bars were full of people trying to spend money before it

lost its value.

And then Jack will finish off the Republic's decline.

Easy peasy. Okay, I gotta run. Duress TV waits for no woman.

Hey, hold up for a second.

I was going to ask Imogen to the semi.

Actually, she's already going with someone.

Me.

But you're not gay?

I like Imogen a lot.

But do you want to kiss her?

That's none of your business.

I know you're best friends or whatever, but...

If Imogen finds out that you're leading her on...

Not

telling your boyfriend you're moving another guy into your house?

Real smart.

Miles thinks he's a bad guy, but he just doesn't know him.

Do you?

Yes.

Which is why I know that if...

If they spent some time together, they'd start liking each other. What? Are they

going to bond over their mutual admiration of a certain blonde cello

No, Zoe.

Me, Zig, and Miles would all hang out at the semi -formal together.

Let me tell you how this plan of yours is going to go.

Miles is going to be all, Maya, I love you.

Let's dance. And Zig will be all broody like, Maya, I love you.

Let's dance.

Yeah, and then Miles will slug Zig.

And Zig will probably have a knife and, like, stab Miles.

And Grace will go all crazy and she'll spike the punch with LSD.

And that weirdo Tiny will, like, burn the gym down. And then the semi -form

end with everyone dying in a fiery inferno. I think you guys are being a

dramatic. Are we, Maya?

Are we?

Or are we just being too real for you?

I have to try something.

Beats me.

Guys, I need your help.

Ticket, you didn't sort things out with Imogen? I accidentally asked her to be

my date to the dance. How do you accidentally ask someone else? It's

you think, actually.

I don't understand what went wrong. All I said was that I wanted a night to get

to know each other more intimately.

Intimately? That might be where things went wrong.

Oh. Oh, you could become a lesbian.

Pretty sure that's not how it works.

Or you could pretend to be a lesbian.

You know, kissing girls and all that bad.

Maybe if we take it super slow, I won't have to kiss her at all.

So, uh, what if his face wasn't too happy to see me this morning?

Miles wasn't.

He just doesn't know you. Which is why you're coming to the semi -formal.

You all are.

That's not a very good idea. Why not?

Because this is what'll happen if we come. Everyone will sit around eating

sandwiches and caviar. And drinking tea.

Tinky's up. But this one will get under Moneybag's skin. By being a little too

lippy. And then I'll have to put Miles in a chokehold to keep him from killing

her darling Zig. And I'll accidentally set the gym on fire. And then it's off

juvie for all of us. I think you guys are being a little pessimistic about

It could be fun.

Come on, Zig. I've seen you bust a move.

It's not my job to fix your relationship, Maya.

But... Learn to take no for an answer.

Adorable. Perfect. Let's go.

It's not too poofy. Oh, it's great. Besides, you've tried on like a million

other dresses. I need to look hot tonight.

Connor would love you even if you looked like a giant cupcake.

You think I look like a giant cupcake?

So not what I meant.

Nope. I'm not wearing this tonight.

Okay, but we're already late and we're the ones bringing the ticket.

Just you go ahead. I'll catch up. Okay, but for the record, my favorite is still

the first dress you tried on two hours ago.

You're all dressed up.

Yeah, because I'm going to a semi -formal.

So when does your horse -drawn carriage show up?

I think I'll wait for Miles outside.

I was just trying to compliment you. And how would I know?

You were such a jerk today, Zig.

What, because I didn't want to go to the dance with you and your stupid

boyfriend? Until you, Miles, can get along, my life is going to be hell, but

least he's willing to try.

So what? He's a better guy than me? Yeah.

Hi.

Whoa.

Everything okay?

Yeah. It is now that you're here.

And I'll let go of you.

And I'll let go of you.

Have I told you how amazing you look?

Only about 30 times, which is 29 too many for Totally Platonic Science Park.

Whoa, that's a dress.

That I bought in grade 10 and never wore because it was too small for me.

How do I look?

Open for business.

Wow, Jenna, you look amazing.

Thank you, Carmen. I wore this for you.

your plans to get everyone together didn't work out? No, I'm over it.

Tonight I just want to have a fun time with my boyfriend.

Can you stop stepping on my feet?

You're the clumsy one.

Only because I'm distracted by how much I want to kiss you.

Easy fix to that.

Well, that's pretty rude.

She invites us here and all she does is make out with her boyfriend?

He came.

Only because Bigman begged us.

We snuck in through the side door. Look who's here.

Nice boot.

Go to hell.

I was being serious.

They're very Alexander McQueen.

Is that a good thing?

Come on, let's dance.

Buy you a drink?

Make it a double.

Sorry, I've never still danced with a girl before.

How do you do it?

Like this.

No,

I can't.

I thought I could dance with you and maybe pretend to be a lesbian, but I

because I'm not.

Oh, thank heavens.

Because you already hate me? No.

You're my first girlfriend at Degrassi who isn't my girlfriend, if you know

I mean. I do.

Me and Fiona were inseparable.

But now we barely even talk.

So sad.

Yeah.

But I heard a rumor that though girlfriends come and go,

best friends stay for life.

Best friends?

Definitely.

It's time for the moment you've all been waiting for. The king and queen of the

sweetheart semi -formal. Here we go.

Fingers crossed.

What did you use on this woman? Crazy glue? I love it.

Okay. The king and queen.

Conor DeLaurier and Jenna Middleton.

Any words to your adoring masses?

Yes. Thank you so much.

Especially to my wonderful boyfriend, Connor.

Booyah!

Didn't know there'd be a show.

You, um, catch the basketball game last night?

No, I'm not really into watching a bunch of meatheads chase a ball around.

Look, I'm just trying to make nice.

Yeah, well, don't do me any favors.

I'm doing it for Maya, because I care.

And if you cared, you'd try, too.

I do care about her.

A lot.

Is it friends?

Well, it's going to be hard to stay friendly with someone when you sleep

the hall from them.

Keep out of your crap, okay? You know, with the drugs and stuff.

I'll do whatever I want, whenever I want.

Oh, and remember, Hollingsworth.

Play nice.

How's the punch?

Very cherry.

Good to know.

So that's why you came here?

To get my opinion on tonight's beverage selection? No, I... Do they

teach you how to share in Germany?

I'm sorry?

What we learned in kindergarten.

Snacks, toys, imagines.

I play well with others.

Why do you ask?

Imogen's my first best friend.

Like, ever.

Yeah, I didn't really want to get between you guys.

Then you should go ask her to dance.

I thought she was your date.

You were right.

I'm not... I'm not gay, I just... I didn't want to lose a friend.

So you think she would say yes?

I have a hunch.

I wish I had a friend like you.

I'll play your cards right, and maybe you will.

Thanks.

Yeah.

So those are actual holes in your face?

Yes.

Can I touch them?

No. Okay. No.

You guys are mild.

Zig, I need you to come with me.

What's going on?

I've gotten reports there's drugs in your locker. I need you to open it so I

do an inspection.

This is ridiculous.

Yeah, what gives you the right to search my locker? The school charter.

Come on.

What's going on?

Sprats.

I know it was you.

No, Miles would never do anything like that.

Right? Right.

He can't even look at you.

He's lying to you, Matlin.

Miles, just tell me the truth.

That guy's a huge jerk.

Seriously?

Can we not do this here? Just answer the question.

Did you tell on Zig?

I was worried about you, Maya. You have no idea what his life is like.

You have no clue how hard it is for him.

Are you seriously defending him right now?

You know what he said to me?

I can't believe you'd do something so spiteful just because, because what, you

were jealous?

Because he's fooling you, Maya, and you're falling for it.

The only thing I fell for was believing that you were someone that I could

actually be with.

What are you saying?

Then I need some time to think.

So you're choosing him?

It's not like that.

Whatever you say.

Subject away.

Oh, what? Another strip show?

Well, at least it wasn't both boobs.

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

Yes.

I can't believe I let those Niner girls get to me.

Connor must think I'm an idiot.

Somehow, I don't think he does.

Thought you might want to change.

Thanks.

Why did you wear a garment that couldn't contain your ample bosom?

Well, you said you liked it.

But, okay, really, because those stupid little girls were trying to get with

you. They only like me now that I'm conventionally dressed.

You liked me before then.

Besides, I don't love any of those other girls.

You love me?

Yes, and I hope you reciprocate.

Yes, of course I reciprocate.

Connor, I love you.

Just the way you are.

Miles is suspended.

It was all my fault if I hadn't bugged you to come to that dance.

Maya, it's fine.

What happened with Perino?

Nothing.

There's no drugs in my locker.

Miles, he's not a bad guy, though I don't know why he'd do something like

I do.

You remember when I told you I'd wait for you?

I should have just kissed you.

But... rules are rules.

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

And if I hold out, I know I can make it through.

I know I can make it through.
