The first thing you need to know about me is my name is Ellie.

Not Max.

Ellie.

The second thing you need to know is that everything that is about to happen

entirely the fault of this emotionally stunted monster, Nate, and his brain

-dead sidekick, Streaker.

Despite my protest, the school board requires that I pass out the following

sanitary products.

It all started in sixth grade.

Sex ed.

Just your average bird, bees, and lifetime of emotional trauma.

Charlie, really?

Now, I am required to take questions. This does not mean you have to have any.

Yes, Ellie.

How long should I wear a tampon on a normal slow day?

My dad says you need to have boobs before you get your period.

Thanks for contributing, Charlie.

Technically, you can wear a tampon up to eight hours, but four to six... Got it.

Thanks.

Thanks, Ellie. That was helpful.

I have a little sister, so it's important I learn about periods and

stuff. Oh, you're welcome, Rowan.

Hey. Nate Reed.

Look at him.

This yours?

Thanks, Nate.

The cutest boy in school.

He's so perfect, right?

Wrong. Oh, my God.

Ellie got her period.

What? Charlie, principal's office. Now. It's true. Look at her pants.

No, I don't even get my...

Hey,

don't forget this.

Max, you might need it.

Yeah, Max, Max, Max. All right, that's enough. That's enough.

Max, Max, Max.

Yep, that's me.

Max, as in Maxipad.

A nickname that would stick for the rest of my life.

That's my girlfriend.

You're out, Mac.

That's my Rowan.

Not all guys act like zoo animals.

I am counting down the days, Rowan.

Literally counting them.

Okay. I mean, not actually literally, though, right? Well, with the 27 days

in junior year and the 181 days in senior year, that brings us to 208 days

total. But with real illness, fake illness, and some much -needed mental

days, I can knock it down to an even 200.

Okay.

Literally, then.

And I couldn't do it without you.

Oh.

Oh, look.

A popularity contest you can actually put on a resume.

You know, if student elections were based off of merit alone, you would be

student body president next year.

Oh, okay.

You know, I actually kind of was thinking about it. You know what? Hold

thought.

Vice Principal Everdeen, so fancy seeing you here in your office, Ms. Pierce.

As you know, it is my lifelong dream to attend an Ivy League school, and while

acceptance rates hover between 3 % and 8%, students who attend the PCLA summer

STEM program are 10 times more likely to get accepted.

So it is absolutely crucial that I attend their engineering program this

and nothing will strengthen my application more than a glowing letter

recommendation from my favorite mid -level administrator.

Ellie, I've already taken the initiative of writing that letter on your behalf.

Ellie. But really, all you have to do is sign it. Ellie.

You know I like you.

And I spoke with Mr. Beardsley, and he said you are a computer science wizard.

Thank you. But he also said that you do all of your group projects alone because

you don't trust the other students.

Do you know what PCLA stands for?

Pre -college leadership academy.

Leadership, Ellie.

And from what I've heard, you're a brilliant student, but you're not a

How did that go?

Great. Perfect.

Yeah? Even the last part? That was still according to plan? It's always

according to plan. Always. Okay.

Right. Always. Hey!

Yo -yo!

Ellie, cheers.

Beautiful soul. Heart. Of my heart.

And these are my day ones, Aja and Lauren.

How are you? I've been worse, but that speaks less to the quality of my day and

more to how terrible my life's been to date.

Oh. Ellie, what in the name of anal overplanning is this app you just sent

built us a shared calendar.

Like G -Cal or? Oh, way better. I mean, how else are we going to schedule our

Friday night class? It has Friday night in the name.

I'll download it right now.

Thank you. Yo, send me that homework.

Excuse me, the back of the line is right here. Sorry, Max.

Got a pass to cut the line. Important baseball meeting.

Okay. You're not even on the baseball team, and don't call me... Bro, I have

so much booze for this weekend.

For real? How'd you score it? Easy. My dad's going through this whole, like,

-functioning alcoholic phase ever since the fascination has come in. Nice, bro.

Well, we need enough vodka to fill a bitch tank. Bro, his dad can fill a

ass aquarium.

You got something for me today?

Hot pepperoni.

Party nutty.

Long line today?

Guys, this is so unfair.

Come on, Ellie.

It's just pizza. It's not pizza. It's the principal. I mean, they get pizza

we get pizza.

Honestly, it's... So frustrating.

We live in a world where those two boys whose combined GPA is still a point

lower than mine couldn't be more successful than any of us. Hey, that

what you consider success.

Well, Shrieker's dad's a billionaire.

And Nate's so hot he's Warren's only straight hall pass.

Oh, baby, you remember.

So, do you have some version of success that doesn't include being

beautiful, rich, and popular?

Oh.

And this is Quinn.

She's a senior. And brilliant.

But for some insane reason, she's dating the biggest idiot in our junior class.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi, Streaker.

Hello, Quinnifan. You have some beat in your face.

I just don't know what Quinn sees in him.

Seriously, she's Harvard -accepted, and she got a perfect score on her SAT.

We've heard the speech a hundred times.

Nate sucks.

Why do people like him?

Blah, blah, blah.

So, Streaker had tons of vodka, and we want to fill his aquarium, but now it's

like, what do we do with the fish?

Just Google what kind of water the fish need, and then put them in one of

Streaker's eight full -size bathtubs.

Damn!

Michael, that is a grain full of thoughts and a booty full of squats.

Gotta go. Student government meeting.

What?

You already got accepted into Harvard.

Why do you still care about all that?

What, the student government I'm president of?

What, you want me to spend more time with Streaker and see who can eat the

crackers?

Nate, I just want to tell him. Tell him. Tell him. That's it.

No, not now.

Nate, I gotta go.

Okay, Dick Brant. Give me those crackers.

Okay. I got ten.

Yeah, I'll get eleven.

Okay, ready?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Oh, okay,

guys, wait. All right.

So, I had this idea, and I know it's kind of crazy to me, but I've been

thinking. Yo, Mac!

You forgot she's Lord of the Rings.

Not Lord of the Rings. It's a tabletop RPG and... Whatever.

You know what I love about you?

You call me Ellie.

My name.

That's... Hello, the bar is hot.

As you approach the old man, he flashes you a smile.

Uh, what kind of a smile? Roll a perception check. Wait, I want to play

man. What?

No. What? Why not?

Uh, 16.

Because that's not how the game works. The DM controls the NPCs. Who cares how

the game works? I have a fun old man voice.

I be finding trouble.

Guys, it's against the rules, okay?

Plus, I already prepped the character.

Hey, you want to play Minecraft after this?

I'm sorry. My mom made me uninstall it.

She says I'm too addicted.

Damn.

What are you going to do with all your new free time?

Okay, uh, there's something that I've been wanting to do for a really long

I just... I never had the courage to do it until now. I'm loving this bravery.

What is it? I'm gonna... CM stands for Dungeon Master, okay? Not Dungeon

Servant. Fine.

You win. Sorry for wanting to have fun.

Well, it's not fun if it ruins the game for everyone else.

Let's continue.

What? Wait.

Before we get back into it, Rowan, you said you had some big announcement?

Really?

You do?

Oh, um... Yeah.

Yeah. Uh... I've decided... I'm running for student body president.

What? That's crazy.

No, it's not.

Yes, it is.

Okay, maybe it is a little, but I'm doing it anyway. I'm going to take a

Well, it's not really taking a chance if you know you're going to lose.

And...

And I'm not saying it's your fault, okay? It's just, you know how these

are. People like Quinn win.

Popular kids who everyone cares about.

So not like me? Not like us.

Look, student body president is a leadership position, Rowan, and you're

leader. And if you put a target on your back, these kids are going to eat you

alive.

Smashing blindly into the cruel inevitability of social Darwinism is not

okay? It's stupid.

I made it awkward.

I definitely made it awkward, okay? You know what? Let's just continue, okay?

Korra, the blacksmith, holds the answer. I don't think I can do this anymore.

You can't quit mid -quest, Rob.

That's not what I mean, Ellie.

I'm done.

No, Rowan, what?

I'm sorry.

But I'm really done.

You guys won't believe what I just tried to interview.

I feel like maybe I will.

Reggie was like, are you going to get naked at this party again, bro? And I

like, is that a dare, bro? And he was like, not really, bro.

But his face was like, yeah, bro.

Now I have to. No, you definitely don't have to. No, right? It's so unfair.

Like, why me?

But if the people demand it. The people demand it.

Are you a little tired of this?

Of parties?

Oh, this.

It's so high school.

But this is high school.

Forget it.

You looked up what some college did to orientation, didn't you? That's what you

think this is?

Yeah, I do. Or, I don't know, you've been acting so weird since you got back.

don't want to do this here.

Do what here?

What kind of water did you use?

Uh... Bathwater? Jesus, Nate, they're dead.

Look, sugar -fill the tub, okay? I told you to Google.

If this is about the fish... No, it's not about the fish.

Then what the hell's going on? I said, don't do this here.

Do what here?

Break up with you.

What? Why?

The fact that you don't know why is why.

Since we started dating, I became student president.

Captain of the debate team, valedictorian.

What about you, Nate? What have you done since freshman year?

I'm the star of the baseball team.

Yeah, but that comes easy to you. What about the stuff that doesn't, like

classes and grades?

So you're breaking up with me because I'm too stupid to get straight A's?

You're not too stupid for anything. You just don't push yourself.

And I can't be with somebody who refuses to grow up and get serious.

Briar for engaged.

Roll a d20.

Ellie, we don't have to do the... Please don't break character.

It's against the rules.

Hey!

How are things down in the dungeon?

Hey, Mr. Pierce!

Hey, kids.

Who's winning?

Dad, no one's winning. It's a collaborative storytelling game.

Fair enough.

Hey, did Rowan leave early? I hate to interrupt the adventure. I just know how

much he loves my pumpkin muffins.

Is everything okay down here?

Yeah.

Great. I love tonight.

You know what?

I think you two could use a ride home.

No. No one's leaving yet.

Okay.

Yeah. Just go.

If that's what you all are dying to do.

Leave.

Then I'll leave.

I'm gonna leave.

And this is me leaving.

I'm the one going.

Goodbye.

Do you have a calzone for Nate?

Uh, see?

Do you mind?

Leave me alone, Max.

You leave me alone.

You try to eat my feelings.

I'm trying to eat my feelings.

Did you just get dumped by the love of your life?

I did, actually.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

Quinn?

She'll come around.

So what if I'm not serious enough?

It's high school.

Let's keep doing me.

And she'll remember she likes doing me.

Or, you know, you could stop being an immature jock with a brain full of

and pornography.

Don't blush at me, Mac.

I'm just saying, you could do something to impress her.

Make her see that you're more than just... you.

I'm listening.

Oh, no, that's all I have.

Just got dumped, remember?

So I'm focusing on me at the moment.

All right.

Fair.

So what happened with you and, uh... Seriously?

Uh... Rowan.

I'm dating Rowan. Mm -hmm.

Or I was until he dumped me.

Just because I was trying to protect him.

Protect him from what, bro?

And in the suburbs.

From the crushing pain of public defeat and social catastrophe.

I really don't want him to get hurt.

But I do want him back.

And I won't get him back until he sees that I'm right. And he won't see that

right until he gets hurt. Which is exactly what's going to happen when he

publicly humiliated by some beautiful, self -absorbed, popular, empty vessel

like... Like, um...

Nate, you should run for president.

Of America?

Of McMahon High.

Oh, right. High school.

Student government is a queen thing. Exactly. What better way to show her you

care? What?

You are just vapid and popular and conventionally attractive enough to win.

Thanks, Max.

But I don't do school.

Oh, my God, Nate.

Nate, listen up, buddy boy. Buddy boy?

Do you want your woman back?

Yes. Okay, then here's what you've got to do.

You've got to get out there, and you've got to crawl to her feet, bleeding blood

everywhere, blood getting on her feet, getting on her beautiful shoes. And then

you've got to show her with your dying breath that you aren't just some run -of

-the -mill baseball thrower. That's true. Then you have to prove to her that

you, Nate Reed, can be more than just the fat, swinging, tell -zone, shoveling

jerk that you are.

Wow, that sounds like

way too much work.

Good speech, though.

Yesterday's have lighted fools the way to dust.

Wait,

Lauren. Does Faith really capture the nihilism Macbeth is feeling?

Or is his struggle inherently represented by the

scarcity and turmoil of the Wild West?

Asha. You beautiful genius.

Are you saying what I think you're saying?

Let's take this play back to 1885.

What are you putting your brush down for?

You heard the woman.

Settle up, guys.

I just figured out a way to get back at Rowan. Or get Rowan back.

Uh -oh.

Okay, I just need to prove to him that breaking up with me was the biggest

mistake of his life. Well, as long as it's just that.

Okay, Rowan's really excited about running for president, right?

All right.

And he only broke up with me because I didn't believe in him. Right?

Yeah.

Well, I was just telling the truth.

And he thought I was being mean. But what he doesn't realize is that the

is almost always mean.

So all I need to do is show him the truth about the truth.

Make sense?

I don't get it.

I think I'm following.

I need to convince Nate Reed to run for student body president.

Uh, yeah, I don't get it either.

Oh, my God, it's so obvious.

I need to prove to Rowan that student government is just a big, dumb

contest, so I get Nate Reed, a literal human hot dog who has no redeeming

qualities whatsoever, get him to run against Rowan, win, and then Rowan sees

that he was naive and I was right the entire time.

Or... you could just go to Rowan and apologize.

Apologize for being right?

Well, when you put it like that... Guys, trust me, this is going to work.

And then Rowan will beg to take me back. Everything will go back to normal.

Oh, shoot. I'm already behind schedule. Ellie, wait!

She's not actually going to be able to convince me to run.

Right.

Step one.

Elect the hot dog.

Vote for Rowan.

Atta boy, Rowan.

Add the hot dog's name to the sign -up sheet without getting caught.

Step two.

Make sure other candidates drop out so that it's just Rowan versus hot dog.

OMG, can you believe Nate Reed is running for president?

He's going to win in a landslide.

He'd have to be crazy to run against him, right?

Step three.

Generate enough buzz about Nate's campaign that when Quinn finds out,

super impressed.

Vote for Nate.

Homework easier.

Yes?

More field trips.

Nate Reed wants to make every day taco day.

He wants to get serious.

Nate Reed wants to get serious.

Nate Reed wants to get serious.

Seriously, what could go wrong?

Get serious?

What? You tell me, Nate, is this supposed to be funny?

What? I've been in the student government since the sixth grade, and

going to turn it into some joke?

Quinn, I literally have no idea. What you're doing?

Of course you don't.

You'd make an awful president, Nate.

So why don't you go erase your name, and then we can pretend like this never

happened.

I'd make a great president.

What?

I'm going to be an amazing president.

Actually.

And no, I'm not doing it to win you back.

I'm doing it because I think it's time for me to get serious.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to pitch.

Oh.

We need to talk.

Hey, um, yeah, give me a sec.

You can't be in here. You wrote my

name on that letter?

What?

No, no way.

Okay, I did. I wrote it. But you looked so sad at the diner, and I figured if I

signed you up for president, it would get Quinn's attention.

Well, thanks, Max.

It did get her attention, and now she hates me.

What?

She wanted you to get serious, didn't she? Well, yeah, but she thinks I'm,

trolling her or whatever.

Well, that's an easy fix.

Just take it seriously, do a great job, and win the election.

Um, duh. I already thought of that.

Super! Then this was a really fun conversation. I'll see you. I can't do

my own.

You signed me up, right?

So now you're going to help me.

Just give me a chance, Max. That's not my name.

Just hear me out.

Your man, Rowan.

What about him?

That's your dude, right?

Is he the only other person running for president?

So? So be my campaign manager.

You see us together and he gets totally jealous.

He'll be begging to have you back. Rowan's not the jealous type.

Alex, trust me.

When I'm around, Every guy's the jealous type.

I'll get Quinn, you get Rowan.

Okay, you're the most popular guy in school, right? You really don't need my

help. Yeah, but you love all this porn school stuff.

Plus, you're on my team. Quinn will know this isn't just some joke.

So, what do you say?

You said no?

Uh, yeah.

I hate him.

Like, more than anyone in the entire universe.

Good. This plan is already way out of hand, Elle. Just let it be.

What? No, that's so boring.

What would Lady Macbeth do?

She'd plot a regicide, go crazy with guilt, and die offstage.

Exactly.

Learn from the best.

Hey, Asha, do you think we could finally settle on an aesthetic for the show?

People seem really excited about the Western idea. Do I look like I care what

the people are excited about?

Art cannot be rushed, Jules, so I will not let you rush it. Okay?

Like I was saying, Lady Macbeth isn't normal like us.

She's crazy.

Okay, well, I'm not going to go crazy. But I'm not backing down either.

I have another plan.

No.

There's more.

What's next?

Got a dash.

No!

No. Goodbye. Please.

Please.

I'm so sorry.

Ellie?

Gloria?

Try again.

Mrs. Everdeen, you are actually the person I was looking for.

Mm -hmm. I know you've memorized my schedule. You can't prove that.

But while I have you here, a resume detailing my extensive leadership

and why I would be a perfect candidate for the PCLA summer program. For

did you know that I'm president of McMahon's Robotics Club? I do know that.

also know that you're the only member.

Well played. But there are plenty of other experiences on there I think you

would really... Ellie, look at Mr. Krabs.

That is what leadership looks like.

It's about inspiring your peers and bringing out the best in your fellow

students. I'm sure your resume is great, but if you really want this, don't tell

me, show me.

We got all your favorites. Mac and cheese, pork chops, and biscuits.

Dad, this is way too much. So we'll have leftovers.

And save room, because I got ice cream cake waiting in the freezer.

Does it say I'm sorry about your breakup on top?

Guilty as charged.

Promise I'll wipe it off?

What do you say we get out of here after this?

Go bowling, knock down some pins, talk about our feelings?

Specifically yours?

Really, Dad? I'm fine.

Breakups are hard, Al. I mean, you and Rowan have been together for years.

It's not easy letting go.

Well, I don't have to let go.

I have a plan.

Oh, boy.

And does it happen to revolve around acceptance and inner healing?

Do you want me to lie to you and say that it does?

No. No, no, no.

Then I won't.

Nate? How did you get my number?

Some theater person gave it to me.

So, you think about my offer?

Uh, yeah. And I already told you I'm not doing it. How many times have you

texted him?

Not that many.

And he's ignoring your calls.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You're too desperate, Max.

You gotta make him want you.

And the best way to do that is by spending time around me.

Join my campaign.

And I promise you, the second he sees us together, he'll start texting you back.

But what's it gonna be, Max?

Let Rowan go?

Or get back in the game?

Fine.

I'm in.

Sick. I'll text you.

Cool.

All right.

You're in it now, Ellie. No backing out.

You are Lady Macbeth.

What's up, Max?

Nate, why are we meeting here?

I like it here.

It's the only place I can go to escape the crowd, you know?

Oh, God.

Okay, let's just get to work.

Take out a notebook.

Why? Because we have to prep.

Presidential candidates have to attend all campaign events.

There's the town hall, the debate, the caucus.

And you have to set up a fundraiser for the student carnival.

Sounds like a lot of work.

It is.

Are you going to quit?

No. I'm in it to win it. Seriously.

Great. Then take out a notebook.

I don't have one.

What?

What's in your backpack?

Comic books, half a pack of ChocoBirds, and my lunch flops.

Lunch flops?

The flip flops I wear at lunch?

Okay, well, what's this?

Uh... Nothing.

Okay, this week is your first campaign event. You'll have to write a brief

speech about a topic you care about, and then it opens up to a Q &A.

And I may be grasping at straws here, but is there anything you're concerned

about at school?

I want to get rid of detention.

Nate, you just said you were going to try your hardest. This is me trying my

hardest. Okay, well, even if getting rid of detention was a good idea, which

it's not, it would be totally impossible to implement.

Just because something's impossible doesn't mean it's not worth trying.

Look, Max, I really do need your help with all the boring school stuff, like

meetings and the flyers and all the election regulations.

But when it comes to the people, I know what's good.

Do you?

of McMahon High School. Welcome to the first campaign event of the year.

We'll begin with the candidates running for student president who will give a

speech followed by a brief Q &A.

Okay. Quinn is front and center.

Cool. Are you nervous?

Me?

Oh, yeah.

I'm so nervous.

Okay, funny, but there's a lot of people out there and if I were you, I would be

nervous.

No, Pam, you've got the wrong guy.

Okay.

Don't blow it.

I won't.

What's

good,

McMahon?

What up?

My name is Nate Reed, and I'm going to be president.

Well, I'm running for president.

You guys will get to decide who actually gets it.

You know.

There's a democracy.

And stuff.

Look, y 'all.

I'm here to talk about one thing and one thing only.

No more detention!

Woohoo!

You want to get rid of detention entirely?

So, what, you and your friends can keep drawing penises on my backpack without

any consequences?

Well, no.

That's...

I haven't done that since middle school, bro.

Maybe detention did its job then.

Are we supposed to live in a school where you and your friends can do

you want?

No, dude.

I'm saying... A

lot

of you haven't ever been in detention before, have

you?

You sit in a classroom while a teacher gives you a speech about crime and

punishment that makes you sit in silence.

And it's sad because you know you're going to see that teacher the next day.

But instead of looking at you like one of the good kids, they look at you like

some failure.

And if it happens a few times, they treat you like a failure too.

And when they treat you like that, you start to believe them.

I know I've taken jokes too far with a lot of you.

And I'm sorry, but detention doesn't fix that.

You know what I did in detention after drawing all those dicks?

I drew even more.

How much better would it be if I got to work at a soup kitchen?

Or like, take an old lady salsa dancing?

Or just do anything that made me feel like I was capable of more than what

people expected of me.

So I say, detention can eat my ass.

And if you elect me, I'm getting rid of it.

That's all my time, folks.

Shout out to Streaker and the boys.

Shout out to my awesome campaign manager.

Ellie Pierce?

Who is Ellie Pierce? Thank you, Nate.

Oh, okay.

Great.

Thank you, Mr. Reed.

Hey, Rowan.

So you're helping Nate, huh?

Yeah, I guess so.

I really liked your speech. It was a great point about recycling.

I don't get it.

Ellie, you hate him.

He's not supposed to make me jealous.

What?

Not everything's about you.

Why? Are you jealous?

Miss Pierce.

I'm surprised.

You are?

Well, Nate's speech was a little rough around the edges, but this is what I've

been looking for.

Running Nate's campaign, helping him reach his full potential.

That's leadership.

Yes, right. Of course.

Leadership. Because I'm a leader.

Good luck, Miss Pierce.

I'll be watching this campaign very closely.

See? It's not about you.

It's about...

Leadership. I mean, can you believe how dumb people are?

At first I was like, oh no, I'm screwed. But then he opened his mouth and

delivered a bunch of Nate Reed nonsense and all these sheeple were like, I love

you, Nate.

Oh, I actually like the speech.

Lauren. I did too.

I had never thought about detention being like that before.

Because it's stupid. He wants to get rid of the place where we send bad kids so

that the bad kids can keep terrorizing the rest of us.

Maybe. Hey.

If your plan works and they selected president, I'm at least happy he cares

about something.

Yeah.

About that?

I haven't been entirely honest with you.

Please tell me there isn't another Inception layer to this plan.

There is a whole extra layer to this plan, and it's exactly like Inception.

Lauren, I will not be silent.

Look. Since the moment I put his name down on that sheet, I knew Nate Reed,

trusted servant of the devil, could never be president.

No matter how badly I want Rowan back, I'm not evil enough to sacrifice our

school to a year of Nate's cruel, dick -obsessed leadership.

So, I did what I do best.

My research.

If a student officer is found in violation of the Code of Conduct, they

disqualified from holding office, and their backup candidate will serve the

remainder of the term.

Which leads me to step five.

Disqualify Nate Reed after he wins, of course.

I'll continue to impress Mrs. Everdeen by running a flawless campaign.

No more bad things.

Good things only.

Then, once Nate wins, I'll move in and save the day.

Nate is disqualified, Rowan is president, and I secure my final

Everybody wins.

What about Nate?

What about him?

Isn't that, like, really mean?

Meaner than everything he's done to us over the last 12 years?

Look, honestly, he won't even care.

He's just doing this to get Quinn's attention, and with this plan, he gets

and he doesn't have to do any of the work of being president.

If he found out, he'd thank me.

Okay, just be yourself.

Don't look at me. Okay.

What's the plan?

Now that we've announced your campaign, you need to form a coalition of voters.

80 % of students are involved in extracurriculars, so these endorsements

crucial. Okay.

Just make friends?

Easy. Nope. These aren't normal students, Nate.

Improv. Yearbook Club. The Coalition of Bisexual Gardeners. They don't want to

suffer. They want to see what you can do for them.

Hi, Nate.

What's up? Lucas Ryan. Science Club. He wants me beakers for AP Chem.

Lucas! I was just thinking of you. Man, I cannot stand the terrible supplies

that we have in AP Chem.

Gotta change, right?

Exactly right.

Wait, you're an AP?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Divya Murhavi goes by Div LaCroix.

Yeah, dude, I'm not blind.

Yo, Div, how's the team?

Could be better.

Girl soccer team gets all the best practice, Lot.

Damn, it's all frustrating.

Don't. She's trying to see if you'll pit women's teams against each other.

But the boys' soccer team uses that field, too. Now, Evie, I'm too

but I feel like teams should be split in field time equally.

Regardless of gender.

Yeah. Maybe I'm too progressive, laying it on a bit thick, don't you think?

Not if it works.

Hey, Quinn Jacobs, student president.

Hey, hang up.

No, it's good, Quinn.

You look good.

It's nice to see you actually applying yourself.

You like my campaign?

Student body seems to.

Yeah, it's not the body I'm asking about.

Ugh, really?

So, you going to Streaker's party?

Maybe.

Don't get too cocky, Nate.

You don't have my vote.

Yet.

No.

We've still got work to do.

Wow. I already found somebody else to push around, huh?

Uh, no, about me, um... No, it's fine.

I'm just surprised.

That's all.

Yeah, to be honest, me too.

Well, I better get out there.

I'll be seeing ya.

What?

I don't know.

Okay, um, bye.

Bye, Ron.

Bye.

Bro,

I heard all of that.

I'm sorry, but...

You have no riz.

Shut up.

You're late.

Student body president. Can't sleep until noon, mate.

Showbacks. Too lucky I'm working on a weekend at all.

Yes, I'm so very honored. Do you want some coffee?

No, thanks.

Speed Demon?

No, thanks.

So, what's first?

Town Hall.

It's a Q &A, so you won't need to write a big speech.

But you will have to write a bunch of mini -speeches for every potential

question that comes up, and then you're going to have to memorize every single

one of those.

I read all of these campaign books last night, and I've got some really great

ideas on how to start preparing.

You spent your Friday night... reading?

Normally at my game night.

But... Rowan.

Take notes.

So you draw?

No. I mean, a little, but... Nothing serious.

Why Rhino?

Oh, um...

My dad used to take me to work sometimes.

He owns a car dealership.

And he would just leave me in his office to watch his nature documentaries.

I found out that rhinos are going extinct, so I started drawing them. That

I'd remember what they look like.

That's actually nice.

That's stupid.

But it made sense when I was five.

May I?

Sure.

The rhinos are definitely you.

Yeah.

Is this one me?

Yeah.

Nate, thanks for not drawing me as a giant maxi pad.

Thanks for not making fun of my drawing.

The campaign.

Right. Town Hall is going to be the most rigorous event, so we really need to

nail it if we want to impress Mrs. Everdeen.

The students.

Wait a minute.

Nate Reed?

Wow. I haven't seen you since eighth grade graduation.

Well, you've turned into a handsome young man.

Dad. Hey, you still play baseball?

Yeah. How's your season going?

Good. Added some speed to my fastball, so.

Oh, that's great. You know, we should go to one of his games sometime.

Yeah, but right now we really need to focus.

I'm so sorry about him. He gets very invested.

It'd be wild if your dad showed up to a game before mine did.

Your dad doesn't go to your games?

Nah, he's too busy at the dealership working on our future.

Because he wants me to take over one day.

Is that what you want?

I guess.

I mean, what else am I going to do?

Oh, my God.

Is that your mom?

Yeah.

Bro, why is she dressed like a fish?

It was my birthday party.

Was that funny to you?

I mean, a little.

Well, it was Finding Nemo themed.

Oh. It was my favorite movie. I was obsessed with it.

And that was the last party that she threw for me.

Wait. Wait, Ellie, I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

She thought you could party, though?

Yeah.

She set up the whole house so you could walk through the movie.

My room was the coral reef, and the garden was the jellyfish canyon.

And she made these costumes.

She was Marlin. I was Nemo.

Mine even had the lucky fin.

Which I... I didn't even end up wearing.

I refused because, uh...

It wasn't just like the movie, and I assumed everyone would hate it and think

was stupid, and obviously it wasn't. It was the best birthday ever.

So I never wore it, and we don't have a matching picture together, and I do not

know why I'm telling you this. No, you don't gotta.

You know what?

It's fine. It was old stuff, so let's just focus on this.

What was her name?

It was me.

Dude, I'll say it.

That was really hot.

What?

She sounds really cool, too.

Yeah.

Did you just bring up my dead mom to get out of studying?

Oh, my God, no. Because that's exactly the kind of political pizzazz I want to

see.

Nicely done.

You scared me. Well, good.

Read this front to back. I'm going to text you later.

Ellie.

Hey, Ellie.

Ellie, Beyonce just died.

Ellie, one of your boobs is just like hanging out your sleeve.

Ellie, are you staring at Rowan?

What?

Who, who, Rowan? That Rowan? No.

No, I don't. No.

No. And how is your plan going, Macbeth?

Uh, Lady Macbeth.

And, uh, my plan's going awesome.

Like, really great.

Better than hers, probably.

Jesus, Ellie, have you read the play?

Why is Sweetbird coming over here?

Yo, Max!

I heard you and my man have been studying out the store.

Um, yeah, we've been trying to prep. Oh, chill, chill.

I just, like, I've never seen my dude work this hard, and that's really dope.

But I wanted to invite you to my pool party this weekend. I've got the coffee

myself because my dad's in trouble with the FBI.

I'm solo dolo in the mansion crib while he's seeking amnesty

abroad.

I'd invite you guys to, but I don't know you, so I'm not gonna.

Fair enough.

Um, yeah.

I guess I could... Max, let's go!

Ellie Pierce?

At a party?

Not for fun, okay?

For you know what?

If I'm gonna catch Nate raking the rules, this is where I'm gonna do it,

Oh, hi.

Hi.

Hi. Sorry, you can go first. No, you... Okay, I'm

going to go first then.

Okay.

No bathing suit?

Around these people?

No, thank you.

Well, bathing suit or not, I'm proud of you.

I'm glad you're giving Nate a chance to make amends.

Oh, Nate is not interested in making amends.

He's just doing this to impress his ex -girlfriend, and once that's over, he'll

never speak to me again.

Trust me, Nate Reed does not care about me at all.

What are you doing here?

Your house is on the way to Streaker's.

Plus, I thought you might skip if I didn't.

You really wanted me to come?

Of course.

And you're not just inviting me so you can shove me in the pool and film it in

slow motion and, like, put it up on TikTok or whatever?

That's a very specific fear.

Tyler McCoy, last year.

Arthur!

Right. Well, promise to not push you in the pool then.

Okay. I'll go get my coat.

Coat?

Have you ever been to a pool party? So many.

I'm just gonna change.

Nice coat.

Shut up.

Oh. My.

God.

Is this a party for your campaign?

Guess so.

Once Riku realized he had stickers with my face on it, he kind of went a little

crazy. Why don't you design some campaign posters? You're the artist.

What do you mean?

Your sketches.

You think that stuff's good?

Doesn't everybody?

I don't know.

I only ever showed you.

A drink for the lady? No, I am not trying to get wasted.

Spike Seltzer is practically water.

Yo, Nate!

Help me with these racks, bro!

I gotta go help set up. Just try to have fun. I'll be right back.

on this, like, gluten keto paleo diet?

Oh.

You know, I was really mad when I found out he was running for president. I

thought he was going to make a stupid joke like he does with everything, but

this version of Nate, it's like I don't even recognize him.

Vote for Nate.

Vote for Nate.

You guys dated for, like, three years.

The Nate I dated was... Okay, look.

This is what he texted me the day we broke up.

Such clarity, like, I need more.

It's perfect.

What? It's, uh, you're, you're perfect.

Too perfect to be hanging around that guy.

Trust me, I am far from perfect. I don't know.

That was, like, so messed up. Oh, it's fine. They do it every party.

Thank you.

Anyway, I'm, um... I'm just happy he meets with someone who makes him

want to try. What?

Sorry.

With someone?

Working with someone who actually cares about school issues.

Yeah. Right.

Yes, of course.

Anyway, no more student government talk. We're at a party, right?

Step up because it's time to go. Step

up because it's time to go.

Life's a treadmill and I'm just stepping. My hometown to me because I'm

repping. Touch your mouth because my class in session.

I'ma show you what I'm first, not second. Nostalgia is king and I breathe

essence. Bang, bang, bang. I'm a lyrical weapon.

Choose your fighter wisely. We not friends online.

Don't type me.

Hit you with the one, two. Pow, pow, pow.

Jump to the beat. Everybody.

Pow.

Wanna play Pong?

Did you just call me Ellie?

Guess I did.

Wait, are you drunk?

No. You said these were basically water.

Basically water, not actually water.

So, wanna play?

I don't really wanna play with clean.

Nah, I wanna play with you.

I thought I'd finally be better than you at something.

Come on. Come on!

Go! Go!

What the hell is that?

You said you never played.

It's just physics.

Yo, Max is insane.

Yo, her name is Ellie.

It's okay. It's fine. No, it's not.

Look, I'm sorry about the whole Max thing, Elle.

You let that go on for way too long.

Oh, God. Lighten up. It's just a joke.

If we lose, I'll do a naked lap around the block.

What happens if we lose, Streaker?

Don't worry about it.

All right.

If you make this, we

win. Okay?

That's it, John.

We got this.

Love I'll keep the fear at bay You bring the love Love

I'll chase the clouds away You bring the love

Love

Well, then you're probably not... done.

You're going the wrong way. My whole life is going the wrong way.

Okay? Rowan hates me, and I've got a throw -up in my hair, and I'm caught in

middle of this complicated plan. I mean, I don't know what's right anymore.

That isn't that complicated.

You don't... You don't get it.

What don't I get?

See, I'm...

Oh, my lunch flops.

Call Nate.

Ali, what's good?

Did you tell anyone that I puked?

Nuh -uh.

How you feeling?

On the verge of death.

And I'm dizzy.

Sounds about right.

But we still need to work.

Okay.

The town hall is coming up this week, and we need to be prepared to

impress Clint.

Huh? Oh, yeah.

Right.

So... So... So... Um...

So, I gotta go.

Later.

Leaper.

Pretty polished.

Very presidential.

Um, did you practice?

Because you know the key to any fair policy is a well -structured compromise.

Ellie, please. People hate compromise.

And they love me.

Okay, if the candidates will be seated, it's time to begin.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Everyone. Students have submitted their most pressing questions, and the

candidates will take turns answering.

Okay. First question up.

It's from Sarah M.

Like so many students, I stay up late. So, Nate, snap me any time my handle

is... Sarah, what was your plan here?

Okay, next question.

From Michaela C.

How will you improve the food in the cafeteria?

Rowan, you first.

I will be proposing a student co -op. So every week, a rotating group of

students will shop, meal prep, and cook together before school.

It's healthy, tasty, and educational.

Nate, your proposal?

Okay, let's see. Brings up a great point here.

The food in this cafeteria blows.

Sorry, Denise.

And we've got to change that.

So I think the solution here is obvious.

Freedom.

Why just settle for the cafeteria menu when we can get it delivery?

And get it through to make man high access to so much more.

Isn't that what you and your friends do all the time anyway?

You know, it's against policy.

Well, yeah, but just because we're test piloting it for everyone.

Okay, don't say everyone when you know not everyone can afford it. Hey, rich

people have problems too.

My dad's an international criminal.

Next question is from Chris R.

Right now, school athletics receives significantly more funding than other

programs. Do you think this should be balanced? And if so, how?

Nate?

What was his name?

Chris R.

Well, it's a great question, Chris.

You know, we can't keep relying on school funding. They can't support

every group equally.

So I think it's time we...

We

have to compromise.

A word I'm sure some of you are shocked I can pronounce.

I think it's time that we all start working together.

The baseball team can't keep relying on school funding when other teams have to

raise money themselves.

So I think it's time the baseball team holds a fundraiser.

How about a car wash?

Anybody trying to watch me get dirty while your car gets clean?

You're in way over your head, Ellie.

What?

No, I'm not.

I see the way you look at Nate. Is this even about Rowan anymore?

Hold that thought.

Have you guys ever seen fish?

Because they don't have cheetah spots.

This is drama club. Aren't we supposed to express ourselves?

Expressing oneself is for upperclassmen.

Jules. Okay.

Have you ever seen a fish that looks like this before?

Well, no, I haven't.

I'm with Aja on this one.

What is going on with you and Nate?

I'm the director. There's nothing going on.

Look, I'm so close now.

Once I get Rowan elected, everything's going to be perfect. He's going to thank

me. And so will Nate.

and you're, like, sure that you saw them together?

Yeah, I saw it with my own eyes.

Quinn tried to make this whole breakup about, like, psychoanalyzing me, but she

just wanted to bank some college guys.

That's it. Period.

I don't know.

What? You got some other theory?

Quinn is one of the coolest girls I've ever met.

Okay.

Did you ever actually, like, let her see you?

The real you?

Because it seems like she only ever got the dumb bro persona.

What? I don't got a persona.

Really?

So, dude, let's go to Streaker's and get some beers with the boys.

I've never said that.

It's exactly what you sound like.

All right, now guess who I am.

Oh, I'm Ellie.

I read big, boring books made out of paper. And I'm way smarter than every

person everywhere.

Okay, well, all books are made out of paper, thank you. And second, it really

isn't fun to guess if you have to start it with, my name's Ellie.

Hurts, doesn't it?

That's not what I sound like. You sure?

100%. Huh.

Okay, whatever.

Are we both obnoxious then?

Yeah, maybe.

And you know what?

I'm never going to change.

I won't if you won't.

Cheers.

What? Are you selling cookies?

Let me get my wife.

Lynn, cookie girl! No, I'm... I'm Ellie.

Pierce?

I'm helping Nate with his campaign for president.

Of America?

Of McMahon High.

I'm sorry, there's been a mistake.

Nate in student government?

No, it's true.

And he's doing a great job.

And he's an artist.

He designed everything in there.

Okay, look.

I don't know what he's got you thinking, but I promise you, Nate's a good

salesman. I mean, he learned from the best.

But behind his charm, the kid is a D2 pitcher with C -plus grades.

He's not an artist, and he's not going to be some student body president.

Oh, don't feel bad.

You're not the first girl to show up on our doorstep chasing after our son.

I'm not some girl who's in love with Nate.

In fact, a few months ago, I really couldn't stand him. But working with

this campaign has shown me that I was wrong.

And I hate being wrong. So with all due respect, Mr. Reed, Nate is capable of a

lot more than you give him credit for.

Hey,

where's our booth?

You're looking at it.

What about everything we planned?

Did your dad pull out our supplies?

He'll see.

Hey, Divya, got 20 bucks?

Maybe. Want to throw a pie in my face?

Absolutely.

Voila. Here you go. How about it?

For real? No, seriously.

Go on.

Okay.

Bet I deserve that.

Yeah, you do.

Yummy.

At least it tastes good.

I think it's what I want, what I really want.

Okay.

One pie left.

Come on, Elle.

You know you want to.

You know what?

I really don't.

Well, I do.

It's, uh... I was for the pool last year.

Hey.

You know, I usually hate when people go off book, but...

Nate, that was amazing.

Thanks.

They really got me there, didn't they?

Yes, they did.

Hey.

You want to go?

It's like they're packing up, so.

Uh, sure.

What? You nervous now?

That is way steeper than they looked over there. You'll be fine. I'll take

of you. Come on.

I've got it.

Thanks.

What is it?

Um, I have something for you.

It's a little comic I made for you about us.

Um, sorry.

I just thought it could be like a little thank you gift.

No, I... I love it.

Thank you.

This is, um... This is more than I deserve.

What are you talking about?

If it wasn't for you signing me up...

I'd never have done any of that.

I have to go.

Ellie!

Ellie, wait!

Wake up, wake up. It's election day.

Is it too late to get hit by a bus?

Uh, nope. You got plenty of time for that.

I can't believe I'm saying this, Aja, but I care about him.

What about Rowan?

I don't know.

Did Lady Beth ever have to choose between two boys?

No. She... Just read the play, Ellie.

Okay, look.

If I show Miss Everdeen this video, Nate gets disqualified and Rowan wins.

Everything goes back to normal.

But maybe I don't want it to go back to normal.

Hmm.

What happened to underwater cowboys?

I decided my vision was better suited to the black box.

And the entire crew revolted against me.

Guess you weren't the only one being a little extra this semester.

Well, you know what?

I'm done scheming.

Where's Lauren? She's kind of missing a big moment here.

It's election day, remember?

She's voting.

And finding me a new crew.

Hey, Lauren.

Hey, Rowan. You look great, man.

Thanks.

Hey, I... Are Nate and Ellie together?

I don't actually really know. Hello, please, look. I know we don't really

anymore, but if the work that we put into our Minecraft server meant anything

you, I really need to know the truth.

Bro, Ellie is not together with Nate at all.

She's not even really helping him. She's doing all this for you.

What?

Where is she?

What if it's the play? Oh, I thought you were going to say me.

Are you serious, Ellie?

I'm sorry.

I had to tell him. I am not good under pressure. Okay, Rowan, whatever she

it's really, it's not like that. It's not?

Then what is it, Ellie? Because to me, it sounds like you convinced Nate to run

for president, pretended to be his friend, and now you're going to get him

disqualified, maybe even suspended.

And for what? Rowan, I wasn't. This whole thing was a mistake.

No, no, Ellie.

This wasn't a mistake.

This was another one of your plans where you have to control everyone around

you. You could have just helped me with my campaign.

You know, you think you're so much better than everybody else, but you're

You think you're just a bigger dick than everybody else. This was me, Ellie.

We need you for the final assembly.

In just a minute, our candidate for president will be joining me on stage.

I just want to say... Hey, Ron.

Good luck, man.

Yeah.

You too.

You know, I was thinking a lot about what you said about detention, and

you're so right. So I talked to my Nana's nursing home, and they'd love to

have student volunteers cooking or salsa dancing, anything.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah.

I'll see you out there.

See you.

Look, I need to tell you something.

About you and that other guy?

What? What are you talking about?

I saw you guys together.

I mean, probably stronger than him.

And I could definitely jump higher than he can. But who cares?

We have to have grown up.

Just like you wanted.

We can thank Ellie for that.

Ellie?

Yeah.

She actually believes in me. No, Nate, she's using you.

What are you talking about?

No, she's not.

Nate, I promise you, she is.

Let me show you something.

Welcome, McMahon students. It's time to announce the winner of this year's

student presidential election.

Nate, I've been looking all over for you.

I have something to tell you.

I don't want to hear it.

It's been a hard -fought battle between our two candidates, so let's give them a

round of applause.

Steve, it's important.

Why'd you do all this, Ellie?

What do you mean?

Why'd you write my name on that list?

Because. To impress Quinn.

Yeah.

About Quinn.

Why'd you DM yourself that video from her phone?

Nate, I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Just for once, I thought somebody actually believed in me.

Congrats, Ellie.

Your plan worked.

Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for the next student body

president, Nate Reeves.

Nate Reed, to the stage, please.

Hello?

My

name

is Nate Reed.

And I never wanted to be president.

I got into this election to prove myself to a girl.

And I stayed in it to prove myself to another girl.

And all that that proved was that they were right about me.

Everyone was right about me.

But even if I got into this for the wrong reasons, I'm going to get out of

for the right ones.

So as my first official act as president, I resign.

Rowan's going to fix the tension.

How cool is that?

This is the thing that I said.

But he's actually going to do it.

But I can't.

Sorry.

Thank you, Mr. Reid, for that unorthodox speech.

And I guess congratulations to the next president of McMahon High, Rowan

Cronin.

I'm sorry.

I know how hard you worked on this campaign, and it's never easy to see

work go to waste.

Luckily, this wasn't a waste.

I'm going to call the Pre -College Leadership Academy later today.

I want to tell them about a rising star here at McMahon, Ellie Pierce, a

brilliant engineer and a strong leader, even when things don't go exactly as

planned.

I mean, for a second there, he even had me thinking that Nate Reed could be a

great president.

I'm never the one to break down.

I've been losing the ground.

Oh, baby, you've been breaking hearts.

And I know because I played the part. And I wish that I could just go back to

the start.

Don't take it out on the Macintosh. I'm not upset.

Oh, are you sure?

Why would I be upset?

This is all Nate's fault.

Because if he didn't call me Maxie Pad, then I never would have bonded with

Rowan, who would have never asked me to be his girlfriend, and then he wouldn't

have broken my heart, and I never would have come up with this insane plan in

the first place.

Are you sure that's the takeaway here? I'm fine.

So just forget about it.

Hey, um, now, I don't have all the specifics, but it sounds to me like

held on to some things too tight.

Now, maybe you did some things that you're not proud of, and maybe you hurt

people that you care about, but that's just part of growing up.

Now, I don't know if you can fix things with Nate or with Rowan. I don't know

that.

But the only way to find out is to own up to your mistakes, apologize, and let

go.

What if I can't?

You can.

Trust me, you're going to regret it if you don't.

Deanna Coyne.

And you're Ellie Pierce, McMahon High School?

I follow your GitHub and Stack Overflow.

Your explainer on object -oriented programming basically taught me how to

Wow.

Thanks. No, thank you. Seriously.

I am so excited to finally be around people who are worth my time. Yeah.

Sorry. Wait.

What? I don't know what the... Culture is like at McMahon, but Horton is filled

with lazy hormonal losers when they care about where the next party is.

Excited to be around some winners for a change.

Wow.

Is any of that even true?

Excuse me?

I mean, how do you know that's all they care about?

Have you ever actually taken the time to get to know them?

Also, parties can be fun.

That's actually the whole point of having them.

If you look at the world in terms of winners and losers, you're going to end

misjudging a lot of people and missing out on a lot of good times, and oh my

God.

Are you me?

Am I the bad guy?

Oh my God, have I been the bad guy this whole time?

Are you having a mental breakdown?

Fiona Coyne?

Well, Ellie, this was disappointing.

Hey, you an artist?

Uh, no, but...

My friend is.

Never mind, then.

Actually, he's more than a friend.

But after everything I put him through, he's so talented.

He just doesn't see it, and I wish I could show him how talented he is, but

too late, you know?

Okay, well, you can let him know it's not too late to submit a portfolio and

considered for our summer program.

Hey, Quinn.

You told Nate about the video?

Yeah.

Sorry, but also not really.

Wait, what's going on? What video?

Oh, my God, he's British.

Ellie, this is my cousin, Adam.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

And for what it's worth, I wasn't going to go through with it.

I believe you.

But Nate still deserves to know the truth.

And I was jealous.

Of me?

You're perfect.

You got a perfect SAT score. I lied, okay? I got a 1570. Hey, that's still an

exceptional score.

The way Nate looks at you, tries with you, he never did that for me.

So yeah, I was like a little jealous.

Pizza's ready.

We'll see you around.

And... Adam?

Please don't tell anyone about my SAT score.

Sir Rowan, my deepest apologies for everything.

You are a great adventurer, and I wish you luck on the quest to come.

I built you what future wizards will call a phone app.

May it aid you as you take the throne of McMahon High.

Forever in your corner, Ellie.

Twenty -five.

Twenty -six.

Twenty -seven.

Yo.

Oh, um, yes, sir. This is Nate Reed.

No.

What summer program is this?

Crazy thing just happened.

I cut off for the spot at the Super Fancy Summer Art Program.

Really?

Are you going to go?

Yeah, I think so.

Some of my folks were going to say no at first, but now my dad wants me to quit

baseball and make NFTs.

I don't think people make NFTs anymore.

Why'd you do this, Ellie?

Okay, I wasn't trying to meddle. It's just I saw this booth and...

I told them about you and then I sent them a copy of Nate and Ellie and I

applied under your name and... Nate, they loved it.

So is that your new plan?

Get us both in the same summer program so you could what?

Have me run for the office of campus dumbass?

No.

I just wanted you to see how talented you are.

And... I won't be there this summer, so if you do decide to go, you'll have the

whole campus to yourself.

Why won't you be there?

Just decided it wasn't the right fit.

Oh.

Do they really love Nate and Ellie?

Yeah.

And so do I.

Yeah.

I mean, like...

You know what I mean.

Does that mean you forgive me? Oh God, no.

I just feel bad for you.

Now that I'm this big artist and you're just so high school.

I got a three, a seven, and a skull.

Ooh, wrong dice, Nate.

Saving throws are 1d20 plus dex bonus plus proficiency if you're

proficient. Uh, Aja, tell us what happens with a three and a seven and a

What? That's not... There's no... Improv! Ellie, back me up here. That's

the rules. Aja, just make it up. Okay.

With the skull, you weren't so lucky. The spider queen.

She stands up from her spider throne.

She walks towards you. She opens her eyes and shoots baby spiders all over

They're crawling all over you and they're biting you.

Maybe I wasn't entirely right about everything this year. That emotionally

stunted monster turned out to be a pretty great guy.

And the other one?

Well,

not everybody changes in high school.

Get up, get up, get up.

What up, everyone?

Aster Angel here. And I'm Paris Perales, and we are so excited... To finally

show you a sneak peek of our brand new movie, Kissing is the Easy Part. It's

coming soon, only on Tubi, but the question is, is it really the easy part?

Hi.

Hi.

Thank you for the other night.

Yeah, yeah, no, no problem.

Uh, your hair smells.

Sorry, are you busy?

Generally? Yes. No, I mean, not now.

Later.

Like later today?

Are you asking me out?

Yeah, yes, I am.

Would you like to date?

I mean, go on a date with me.

What do you have in mind?

Maybe we could study or something.

Your place?

Cool. It's a date.

It's a date.

Thank you.
