IS IT BAD IN THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM?

WE HAD A FRENCH TEST THIS MORNING

WE HAVE A SCIENCE TEST NEXT CLASS

AND A MATH TEST THIS AFTERNOON.

ERICA AND I WANT TO TRANSFER BACK TO JUNIOR HIGH.

ANYTHING BUT THAT!

WE'LL SEE YOU.

BYE.

Erica: STILL CHASING WHEELS, I SEE.

YES-- I'M GOING TO GET HIM, TOO.

LOOK AT THIS.

OKAY-- RIGHT HERE.

"HOW TO GET HIM TO SEE YOU AS MORE THAN JUST A FRIEND."

IT'S TIME HE SAW ME AS AN OBJECT OF DESIRE.

SOME OF THESE ARTICLES ARE PRETTY DUMB.

NO-- THIS ONE IS BRILLIANT!

IT SAYS I SHOULD THROW A PARTY.

HOW WILL A PARTY HELP?

LOW LIGHTS AND HOT MUSIC CAN DO WONDERS.

OH NO!

IT WILL WORK-- TRUST ME.

TIME IS UP.

PLEASE PUT YOUR PENS DOWN.

MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS ON YOUR PAPER.

THAT WAS TOUGH.

YOU THOUGHT SO?

Heather: I FINISHED EARLY

SO I STARTED WRITING A GUEST LIST.

SEE?

DO YOU REALLY THINK A PARTY

WILL MAKE WHEELS LIKE YOU?

WHY NOT?

DON'T BE SO NEGATIVE.

YOU'VE HAD BOYFRIENDS.

DON'T REMIND ME.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO DO ANYTHING DUMB.

I WON'T DO ANYTHING DUMB.

WILL YOU HELP ME?

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

FIRST WE ASK MOM

IF WE CAN HAVE THIS PARTY.

Melanie: I DID SO MUCH HOMEWORK LAST NIGHT.

Kathleen: I HAVE TIME FOR NOTHING ELSE BUT HOMEWORK.

Maya: CAN YOU BELIEVE ALL OF THESE TESTS?

Diana: IT'S LIKE A LABOR CAMP.

Scott: KATHLEEN...

SHE'S BUSY.

ARE YOU AND SCOTT HAVING A FIGHT?

THEY BROKE UP.

KATHLEEN IS BACK IN THE HAVE-NOT CLUB.

HAVE-NOT CLUB?

WE HAVE NOT DECENT CLOTHES.

WE HAVE NOT POPULARITY.

WE HAVE NOT HICKEYS.

SOUNDS LIKE ME-- CAN I JOIN?

Diana: OF COURSE.

IT'S SORT OF A JOKE.

THE PURPOSE IS TO GET OUT.

I'M NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A BOYFRIEND.

THERE'S NO DECENT GUYS AT THIS SCHOOL ANYWAY.

WHERE ARE ALL THE PERFECT GUYS?

Diana: WHAT'S YOUR IDEA OF A PERFECT GUY?

CONSIDERATE, TALL, GOOD-LOOKING, RICH.

MINE WOULD BE ROMANTIC, GORGEOUS, INTELLIGENT AND SEXY.

I'M NOT ASKING FOR A LOT.

MINE IS A DOCTOR WHO FALLS MADLY IN LOVE WITH ME

AND DEDICATES HIS LIFE TO CURING MY DISEASE.

HEATHER, THERE HE IS!

HERE GOES NOTHING!

HI, GUYS.

HI.

ERICA AND I ARE HAVING A PARTY TOMORROW.

YOU'RE INVITED.

RIGHT ON.

COME TO OUR PLACE AFTER SIX.

WHAT'S THE OCCASION?

NOTHING SPECIAL.

BYE.

BYE.

WHY DID YOU MAKE IT SO OBVIOUS?

HEATHER, RELAX.

HE DIDN'T FIGURE ANYTHING OUT.

I THINK HEATHER LIKES YOU.

SO? I LIKE HER TOO.

NO, I MEAN, SHE REALLY LIKES YOU.

NO WAY.

WE'RE JUST FRIENDS.

HI, LUCE.

GUESS WHAT?

WE'RE HAVING A PARTY TOMORROW.

GREAT.

WOULD IT BE OKAY IF I INVITED CLUTCH?

OH... SURE.

ARE THE TWO LOVEBIRDS GETTING BACK TOGETHER?

MAYBE. WE'LL SEE.

WHILE YOU'RE HERE, CAN YOU SIGN THIS CARD?

IT'S FOR L.D.

I THOUGHT SHE'D BE OUT OF HOSPITAL BY NOW.

THEY'RE DOING A BILLION TESTS ON HER.

YOU KNOW HOW SHE HATES HOSPITALS.

SHE STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG?

NO.

SHE'S REALLY SCARED.

( bell rings )

THAT WAS THE HARDEST TEST!

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING.

I AM FED UP WITH MIDTERMS!

WE NEED A MEETING OF THE HAVE-NOT CLUB.

FEEL LIKE GOING FOR DOUGHNUTS?

MAYA, WANT TO COME FOR DOUGHNUTS WITH US?

I CAN'T-- MY MOM PICKS ME UP AT 3:45.

I COULD GO MONDAY

AND TELL HER TO COME LATER.

SURE, LET'S MAKE IT MONDAY.

I'VE GOT TO GO DOWN THE RAMP.

THEY SHOULD HAVE A RAMP AT BOTH ENDS OF THE SCHOOL.

YOU HAVE TO GO TO ONE END OF THE BUILDING

AND THEN ALL THE WAY BACK.

AT LEAST THERE IS A RAMP.

NOT ALL BUILDINGS ARE SO ACCESSIBLE.

SEE YOU MONDAY.

SEE YOU.

PLANNING THREE DAYS AHEAD JUST TO GO FOR DOUGHNUTS?

NOT EXACTLY SPONTANEOUS.

Melanie: YOU WANT TO GO TO A MOVIE TOMORROW?

Diana: WHY NOT?

Kathleen: THE HAVE-NOTS ON THE PROWL.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE?

QUEEN IN EXILE IS SUPPOSED TO BE EXCELLENT.

I WANT TO SEE THAT.

IT'S ON AT THE MOUNT ROYAL.

LET'S INVITE MAYA.

HOW WILL SHE GET THERE?

AND THERE'S A MILLION STEPS THERE.

IT'S AWFUL ALL BUILDINGS AREN'T ACCESSIBLE.

SHE'D UNDERSTAND IF WE DON'T INVITE HER.

WE DON'T HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

KATHLEEN...

CAN I SPEAK TO YOU FOR A SECOND, PLEASE?

GO AHEAD.

I'LL CATCH UP.

OKAY.

LOOK, I'M REALLY SORRY.

MY TEMPER... IT WAS JUST EVERYTHING AT HOME.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT YOU.

IT WILL NEVER, EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

PLEASE, I NEED YOU.

SORRY.

HI!

HI.

I BROUGHT THIS FOR YOU.

EVERYBODY SIGNED IT.

THANKS.

HOW'S IT GOING?

FINE.

HOW WERE THE TESTS?

I FIND OUT TOMORROW.

YOU'LL BE FINE.

YOU LOOK GREAT.

I LOOK AWFUL-- THANKS, ANYWAY.

I WISH I DIDN'T FEEL SO CRUMMY.

YOU'LL GET BETTER SOON.

THE TWINS ARE HAVING A PARTY TOMORROW.

TOO BAD YOU'LL MISS IT.

SAY HI TO EVERYONE FOR ME.

I WILL-- ESPECIALLY WHEELS.

LOOK, WHY DON'T I DROP BY TOMORROW BEFORE THE PARTY.

SURE.

I HOPE I KNOW BY THEN.

THEY'VE DONE SO MANY TESTS.

IN ONE, THEY STUCK A NEEDLE IN MY HIP BONE.

OW!

I WISH THEY'D TALK TO ME.

THEY SMILE A LOT AND NEVER TELL ME ANYTHING.

COME ON, L.D.

THIS WILL ALL BE OVER REALLY SOON.

Kathleen: HURRY UP.

I DON'T WANT TO MISS THE BEGINNING.

I BROUGHT TONS OF TISSUES.

I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE CRY AT MOVIES.

I CAN'T HELP IT.

BESIDES, CRYING IS GOOD FOR YOU.

IT'S TOO BAD MAYA COULDN'T COME.

WE ALL THINK IT'S TOO BAD, BUT SHE JUST COULDN'T.

STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.

SHE CAN SEE IT ON VIDEO SOON.

Kathleen: I OWE YOU A TICKET, MELANIE.

I'LL PAY THE FARE.

I'M PAYING FOR BOTH OF US.

IT SAYS HERE, MAKE SURE TO TOUCH HIS HAIR.

YOU'RE GOING TO TOUCH HIS HAIR?

IT SAYS GUYS LOVE YOU TO TOUCH THEIR HAIR.

HEATHER, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE HERE ANY MINUTE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

MOVE THAT TABLE OVER THERE.

OKAY.

YOU HAVE TO HELP ME.

IF YOU SEE US DANCING AND IT'S A FAST SONG, CHANGE THE MUSIC.

AFTER WE'VE DANCED A BIT

I'LL SAY IT'S HOT, WE'LL GO OUTSIDE

AND I'LL SNUGGLE UP TO HIM...

HEATHER, STOP!

RELAX!

DON'T PLAN SO MUCH.

LET MOTHER NATURE TAKE ITS COURSE.

FORGET NATURE.

I AM NOT MISSING MY BIG OPPORTUNITY.

TA-DA!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY NEW DRESS?

WHAT'S WRONG?

I'M TRYING TO BE BRAVE, FOR MY DAD AND EVERYTHING.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE BRAVE?

THEY TOLD ME...

I HAVE LEUKEMIA.

ISN'T THAT LIKE CANCER?

IT IS CANCER!

MY MOM DIED FROM CANCER.

I HAVE TO START CHEMOTHERAPY TOMORROW.

I'M GOING TO LOSE ALL MY HAIR.

IT WILL GROW BACK.

THEY SAY IT WILL.

L.D., I KNOW YOU.

YOU'RE STRONG, YOU CAN BEAT THIS.

Man: LUCY, NICE TO SEE YOU.

Lucy: HI.

I BETTER GET GOING.

BYE.

LUCY, DON'T TELL ANYONE, OKAY?

NOT YET.

OKAY.

COME ON, SWEETIE, YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG.

YOU'VE GOT TO FIGHT THIS.

HEY, CLUTCH!

WHAT'S UP, MAN?

WHERE'S LUCY?

I HAVEN'T SEEN HER.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN HER?

TALK TO YOU LATER.

I'M GOING TO GO IN, TOO.

TALK TO YOU LATER.

( fast rock and roll music )

HAVE YOU SEEN LUCY AROUND?

Wheels: SHE MIGHT BE IN THE NEXT ROOM.

I HAVEN'T SEEN HER.

SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, THOUGH.

HEY, I LIKED THAT SONG!

I THOUGHT IT WAS TIME

FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT SLOWER.

( slow dance music )

I LOVE THIS SONG-- LET'S DANCE.

COME ON, SIMON.

YOU WANT TO DANCE?

YEAH.

YOU WANT TO DANCE?

SURE.

Heather: IT'S HOT IN HERE.

Wheels: YEAH, IT IS.

WANT TO GO OUTSIDE?

YEAH, OKAY.

IT'S SURE HOT IN THERE.

ESPECIALLY WITH SO MANY PEOPLE.

IT'S NICE OUT HERE.

YEAH, IT IS.

WANT TO GO SIT?

SURE.

WHAT? DO I HAVE SOMETHING IN MY HAIR?

BUT IT'S GONE NOW.

THANKS.

ARE YOU COLD?

LOOK AT ALL THE STARS.

THEY'RE GORGEOUS.

YEAH, THEY ARE.

DO YOU KNOW ANY CONSTELLATIONS?

JUST THE BIG DIPPER.

ISN'T THAT IT OVER THERE?

YEAH.

THERE'S CASSIOPEIA RIGHT THERE-- LIKE THE "W".

YOU'RE PRETTY GOOD AT ASTROLOGY.

ASTRONOMY.

ERICA IS ASTROLOGY.

Girl: ALISON, COME HERE.

Alison: WHAT?

AMY, COME HERE.

LOOK AT THIS.

Alison: IT'S HEATHER AND WHEELS.

REALLY?

DON'T STARE.

HE'S GOING FOR IT.

GO, WHEELS! GO, WHEELS!

YOU GUYS, GROW UP!

EXCUSE ME!

HEATHER!

YES?

MOM'S WONDERING WHERE YOU ARE.

SHE SAID SHE'D STAY UPSTAIRS.

WELL... HER CURIOSITY GOT THE BETTER OF HER.

BUT YOU BETTER COME INSIDE.

SORRY.

SORRY.

I'D BETTER BE GETTING HOME ANYWAY.

SO, UH...

I'LL... CALL YOU TOMORROW.

YEAH?

YEAH.

OKAY, BYE.

BYE.

L.D.'s father: YOU'VE GOT TO TRUST YOUR DOCTORS.

THEY'VE TOLD ME

THAT YOUR MEDICATION WILL...

HI.

...MAKE YOU SICK.

IS THE PARTY OVER ALREADY?

I DECIDED NOT TO GO.

YOU TWO TALK.

I'LL GO DOWNSTAIRS FOR SOME COFFEE.

DOES ANYBODY WANT SOMETHING?

NO, THANKS.

I'LL BE BACK SOON, HONEY.

THANKS.

I BROUGHT YOU A FRIEND.

THANKS.

I ALSO GOT SOME MAGAZINES WE CAN LOOK THROUGH

AND PICK OUT CLOTHES.

SURE.

THIS HAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE CLOTHES.

THAT'S NICE.

LUCE...

THANKS FOR COMING BACK.

Snake: IT'S GETTING HOT IN THERE.

NOT AS HOT AS IT WAS OUT HERE, THOUGH.

I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE.

DO YOU WANT TO GO?

NOT REALLY.

THIS IS SOME PARTY.

I REALLY WANT TO GO.

IF YOU WANT TO STAY, THAT'S FINE.

LISTEN, I'LL COME WITH YOU.

SO EVERYBODY KNOWS.

YEAH.

GREAT.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO-- IT JUST HAPPENED.

WHEN HEATHER PINS A GUY TO THE COUCH

HE STAYS PINNED.

THIS IS SERIOUS!

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH MAKING OUT.

YOU LIKE HER, RIGHT?

YEAH, BUT NOT LIKE AS A GIRLFRIEND.

AND I SAID I'D CALL HER.

I DON'T REALLY WANT TO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

APOLOGIZE TO HER.

YOU DON'T TELL SOMEONE YOU DON'T REALLY LIKE THEM

AFTER YOU'VE FOOLED AROUND.

WHAT A FABULOUS PARTY!

IT WAS!

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE RAN OUT OF FOOD.

I DON'T THINK ANYONE REALLY NOTICED.

I THINK I'M IN LOVE.

SERIOUSLY, YOU WERE REALLY GOING AT IT.

YEAH, I KNOW.

YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL.

REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

ERICA, WE ARE THE SAME AGE.

I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE HAPPENED TO LUCY?

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE I SHOULD CALL HER.

DON'T! WHEELS SAID HE'D CALL, SO I WANT TO KEEP THE LINE FREE.

OKAY.

THANKS.

Melanie: THAT WAS SUCH AN EXCELLENT MOVIE.

I DIDN'T STOP CRYING FOR HOURS AFTER I GOT HOME.

MY LIEGE, THOU ART BALM IN MY EXILE.

STAND BACK, SWINE!

TAKE YOUR GRIMY PAWS OFF THE WOMAN I LOVE!

THAT'S QUEEN IN EXILE!

HAVE YOU SEEN IT?

WELL...

WE WANTED TO ASK YOU TO COME

BUT WE TOOK THE STREETCAR

AND THERE'S SO MANY STEPS IN THE MOUNT ROYAL.

SORRY.

IF YOU GUYS DON'T WANT ME TO GO WITH YOU, FINE.

BUT DON'T ASSUME I CAN'T GO!

MY MOM WOULD HAVE DRIVEN ALL OF US.

YOU'RE RIGHT-- I CAN'T GET INTO THE MOUNT ROYAL

BUT I CAN GET INTO THE PRINCESS

THE CUMBERLAND, AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHERS.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS I CAN'T DO

BUT THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS I CAN DO.

I DON'T NEED PATRONIZING

FROM HYPOCRITES

WHO TALK ABOUT HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBILITIES

AND THEN HAVE THE NERVE TO DECIDE FOR ME

WHAT I CAN AND CAN'T DO!

MAYA!

MAYA, WAIT!

I'M SORRY.

Erica: I'M SURE HE HAS A GOOD REASON

FOR NOT CALLING.

HE WAS PROBABLY AWAY THIS WEEKEND.

HE WASN'T AWAY.

HE DIDN'T SAY WHEN HE'D CALL.

YOU'LL SEE HIM AT SCHOOL.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE HIM.

I'M REALLY EMBARRASSED.

HI.

HI.

CREEPS!

WHAT A CREEP!

I GUESS IT WAS WHAT I WANTED.

I MEAN, WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE PARTY?

I STILL THINK HE'S A CREEP.

YOU DIDN'T CALL HER.

NO.

SO YOU JUST WON'T TALK TO HER

FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR?

THERE'S STILL PLENTY OF FISH IN THE SEA, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

IT'S TOO BAD, THOUGH.

WE USED TO BE FRIENDS.

NOW WE'RE NOT.
