What? You thought I was gone for good?

When did you get back from cheer camp?

Oh, not until late. The bus got in at 5, and then we went to one of the older

girls' houses.

Don't tell Mom that. My lips are sealed.

All right, so did you miss me this summer?

Come on, get up.

Let's see.

I helped Astrid move into Grandma's. I read all of the 32 Jansen books. I read

Little Women. I babysat for Mrs.

Simpson's grandson.

His name is Ralph. He likes to call me Marmalade.

Does she pay you a lot? 20 bucks and free lunch. Let me guess. Egg salad

sandwich. With the crust cut off. Exactly.

Yeah, some things never change.

So are you going to be late to meet the girls?

What girls?

Oh, those girls.

Yeah, so Quinn is doing track this year, I think, and Ellie is probably driving

to school with that new guy friend.

New guy?

Tell me everything.

No, you know him, the debate guy.

Charles. No, that's not it.

Carlos?

Yes, Carlos.

That's it.

What about TK?

Are you nervous to see him?

TK, why would I be nervous?

I don't know. I just thought.

Bertie said that their cousins are moving here from Texas or something.

Ryan, how are we as girls?

Wow. You're all grown up.

I don't feel grown up. I don't need them to die. It just kind of happens.

Come on. Let's go.

One second.

We fly together We are a girl gang like birds of a feather

We fly so high We fly together We

are a girl gang like birds of a feather

You almost knocked me over.

Maybe pick up the pace.

I was just lost. Do you know where 108 is?

Right through that door.

You new here?

Sure am.

Oh my gosh, you guys. You look so amazing.

I'm so excited.

Hi. I'm back.

Hey, Harm. We missed you this summer.

So, how was dance camp? It was amazing and hot.

It's been like a million years.

It has?

Remember, Bell was in first grade with us. And third.

And the best dancer at camp.

I love what you're doing with your hair. This school year is going to be great.

Let's walk in together and make sure we have a great table at lunch.

That was a second bell, everyone.

I am Mr. Chiamara.

I'll be your English teacher for today and the foreseeable future.

Let's start with a roll call.

Rebecca Anderson.

Claire Fitzroy.

Do you know who that is?

That new girl? Not new. You don't recognize her? Rhyme McAdams' little

sister. Uh, you were? Rhyme is definitely, like, the most popular and

hottest of her classmates.

No doubt.

Mr. Calm.

Aggie! Aggie!

Aggie! Eggie! All right, boys.

I take it you go by Eddie, then? It's Eggie.

With a G.

Sounds great.

Also with a G.

And do we have Harmony McAdams?

Present. And Darnell Walker?

Present, too.

Then let's talk summer reading.

Specifically, Little Women.

So what do we think?

Does it hold up today?

How about you, Harmony?

I thought it was the best book I've ever read.

Go on.

Well, Joe was the best.

They were so... Even though it was written a long time ago, I feel like I

would be friends with them today.

You disagree, Claire?

How could you not? If my mom acted like Marmee, I'd run away from home.

Every time the sisters do the right thing, they have to apologize to Miss

March. It's pathetic.

Maybe you should read the Cam Jansen books.

I read those books when I was seven.

Let's stay on track.

Mr. Comp, sorry, Aggie, why don't you read for us the passage you highlighted

this summer?

A passage?

You did read, little women, right? Of course you did.

Aggie just lent me his book because I forgot mine.

The patience and the humility of the person

she once loved was a better lesson to Jo.

Not bad.

Thank you. Of course.

I'm so glad you have free period, because otherwise I would never see you.

Oh, I know, and it's going to get so much worse when college tours start.

I'm dreading it. Just passing the college counselor in the hall makes my

palms start sweating. Those beady, judgy eyes.

Well, you know what they say.

Extracurriculars make the ordinary extraordinary.

So much for holding down a part-time job.

Guess I'm ordinary.

We're already in the third period and she and Mr. Daniels have already tried

to pull me aside and get me to join the appeal again.

Really?

Didn't he kick you off? Yes, that's what I'm saying.

But apparently he's disappointed that I'm still a cheerleader. Too bad I don't

care what he thinks.

Okay.

Well, your Hey Harmony columns were pretty good, though. Yeah, they have

their moments.

Yeah, times change.

True.

Well, here's to being ordinary.

Walker is so gonna ask you. No way, he barely knows my name.

He's almost as hot as his brother.

Ty is so hot, there's no way Walker's gonna ask me.

Ask you what?

To the pep rally, duh!

And then go to the parlor.

Can you go without a date?

Unless you want to be a loser.

If I wanted to be a loser, I would just hang out with Claire Fitzroy. Has she

always been so annoying?

Walker is totally looking at you.

I'm pretty sure he's just sneezing.

You good, bro?

Sorry, I thought I was going to sneeze. You know when it just goes away.

Sometimes I think you're from another planet.

I wish I was from another planet.

You guys need to focus.

Purple is coming up and we need dates.

So, who's going to be the lucky lady, Egg?

What do you guys think of Katie?

She got super cute over the summer.

You're not going to ask Belle?

Yeah, come on, Eggie. Everyone knows you're destined to be together.

Mr. and Mrs.

Attaway!

Give it a rest.

If Walker doesn't ask me, there's always Gus.

Gus? Ew.

He chews with his mouth open.

That means he's a good kisser. True.

What about... What about him for harm? Me?

I am not interested.

Hey, do you guys want to go to Junior's after school?

Yeah, the coffee place.

We have dance practice after school.

Practice? Oh, for a dance team.

We have to be Millwood this year. Eggie won't date a runner-up.

Oh, so Iggy asked you to the pep rally?

Well, he's waiting for the right woman to ask me.

They're next door neighbors and super close. Like, basically dating.

Well, I have to get social studies. I'll catch up with you ladies later.

Last weekend, Katie was looking at me at the Galleria. Like, looking. I think she

was looking at the pretzel stand.

And since you're going with Belle, I'm gonna ask Katie.

Over my dead body.

Is this seat taken?

You new here?

Just moved last week. Can I sit?

Have you ever kissed a girl before?

Well, I held hands with one at my old school.

No way.

What about her? Why is she allowed?

Layla's one of us. Not Scram.

What a dweeb.

He's right, though. Just because you're a girl doesn't mean you don't need a

date. A date?

Rules are rules, no exceptions.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Eight.

Wait, scoot over a little, Katie. You're practically on top of Brittany.

Hey, Herb. Come on, we already started. Right now?

I'm not even in the right clothes.

I'm sure we have extras in the locker room. But hurry, we only have the gym

for an hour.

But what about Tuesday tea?

What even is that?

It's where all of the chicken girls get together and talk each week.

I thought the chicken girls were dancers.

Yeah, they are, but... Then don't you want to be on the team?

Aren't you rhyme, sister?

Yeah, come on, Harm, don't be lame.

I just don't feel like dancing.

You heard her, girl. She doesn't feel like dancing, since we do.

Let's get back to it, and Harmony can go drink coffee or whatever.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Thanks.

How much was it? My treat.

So, how was your first day?

Honestly, it stunk. No one likes me, and I really miss Texas.

I understand, buddy.

But family's important.

Gotta stick together.

I just wish the boys would let me sit with them.

Gotta have swagger.

How'd you introduce yourself?

Practice on me.

All right.

Hi, my name's Peyton Kay, and I just moved in from Texas.

Will you be my friend?

Okay. That was all wrong. All wrong.

Try it like this.

What up, dudes?

Mind if I pull up a chair? Just rolled in from Texas.

My name's Peyton Kay. You can call me PK.

PK.

Chicks dig initials.

Did you get lost on the way to your room? You know, when you were younger,

this was my room.

And now you want it back.

No.

Alright, how was day one?

Honestly, awful.

All the girls care about is dancing, boys, and drama.

Oh, so first day at Attaway.

Rhyme, I'm serious.

It's like, I know that you want me to make my own chicken girls, but it feels

like I don't know them anymore.

This one girl, Belle.

Are you even paying attention?

Sorry, I've kind of had a rough day. Rough how?

Rough like Mr. Daniels and Mom are making me take this stupid college tour.

What's bad about that?

Remember how much fun California was?

Well, it's just for the past few years of my life I've been trying to figure

out who I am, and once I finally have a good grip on that, everybody's trying to

turn me around.

So you're going away again?

Only for a couple weeks, and I'll bring you back some souvenirs.

Sorry, did you want to tell me about your day?

Don't worry.

I'll figure it out.

Next week on Chicken Girls. Name's Peyton Kay, but my friends call me PK.

Kay? Like TK?

Has anyone asked you to the bat rally yet? Boys keep saying they're gonna ask

girls, but... Maybe we could roll together.

Me? Belle, she's really nice and all.

Except when you got on her bat side.

You had your chance, and you walked away.

Right, girls?
