Get Even

["Beautifully Unconventional" by Wolf Alice plays]

OK.

I can't believe we're going back to school on a Friday to clean up.

I guess I'm just bad at saying no to people.

You're such a loser.

I'm going to drop you off and then I'm going shopping.

OK.

Thank you.

You're late.

Yeah?

I went to Am's to go and get changed.

Into that? For clearing rubbish?

What? It's cute!

Sure. Accessorise it with a broom.

Mika said Ronny had secrets you wouldn't believe.

I can believe it.

We only saw half of Ronny's hard drive.

What if Mika saw the rest?

This is what Misra meant about the search warrant for my house.

She thinks that I have Ronny's laptop

but Rex was in the house the same time I was.

So, what if Rex stole the laptop

to make sure Ronny couldn't send out any more pictures of Mika?

Yeah. Rex and Mika have the laptop!

Mika could have easily accessed any of Ronny's dirty secrets.

I don't get why the police didn't act on our tip and call Rex in!

Rich families have the best lawyers.

Can confirm.

Oh, I would go see Mika but I have fencing practice...

It's a big match tomorrow.

Well, I can do it.

I mean, are you sure that's your department?

It's not just hair flicking.

Well, it's partly hair flicking.

Look. I can just go to Rex's, pretend I'm looking for Amber,

find the laptop and copy the rest of the hard drive.

Hey!

Don't pull those faces at me.

I can do this.

Hey. Is Amber here?

Er... No. Shopping.

Do you mind if I come in and wait?

Just...can't walk any further in these shoes!

Yeah.

Is Mika home?

And OK after her mic drop at the tribute?

Er, no. No, she's not back from school yet

but she seemed fine this morning.

You know...

..happier.

Cool.

Ah, well, don't let me stop you doing whatever you're doing.

I'm not doing anything. Just going to hang out by the pool.

-Do you want to hang out by the pool? -Um...

I'll just, er, get a glass of water, or something.

You know. Got to stay hydrated!

Yeah. There's stuff in the fridge.

Whoa. You have five different kinds of water!

Er...

Cos, you know, at my house we only drink melted glacier ice.

Yay, climate change!

Um, I have a new inflatable.

Floats like a dream.

Bathroom's up here, right?

Um, yeah. But there's one downstairs as well.

Yeah, yeah, but this one's nicer.

Remember to watch your footwork.

Yep, and focus on my balestras.

And don't push yourself too hard, though. Keep some in the tank for tomorrow.

I will.

Actually, I feel like I've got this.

Fencing champion is a good look for scholar, right?

Sure is.

Hi, Rex. I'm exhausted.

Babe, take my bags. I'm thirsty.

Er... Olivia's here.

Finished early, so I came to find you.

What's taking so long?

Trust me. We are worth the wait.

Hey, Mum. What's up?

This is so nice.

Yes. Yes.

How does it look?

Yes!

I love it.

Rex?

My, um... My parents need me.

I'll be back.

Guess it's just you and me.

You wrote me a song?

I always ask girls out through the medium of song.

OK.

That's cool, I guess.

Want to make out now?

Not yet.

Song hasn't finished.

What class are you in?

Thanks again for this.

Couldn't pick between the two so I bought them both.

I gave you the less cute one.

Oh, how thoughtful of you.

Annoyingly, it still looks great.

Well, I can only apologise.

So, since the period of official Ronny mourning is over...

Stop it!

..and you and Donte and done-te...

..I think it's time we find you a new boyfriend.

Is it, though?

There must be someone you like?

You just want me to stop being a third wheel for you and Rex.

You see right through me.

Hey, Rex.

Yeah, of course. I'll... I'll be here.

Is everything OK?

What's wrong?

Mika's dead.

Wait.

No. How?

She fell...

..in the reservoir. Drowned.

But we were just with her!

I have to go. I told Rex I'd be here and I can't.

Amber...

What do I say to him?

What do I say to his parents?

-I don't know. -"Sorry for your loss,

"she lives on in our hearts"? I can't.

You can do this!

You're the strongest person I know.

Look...

..I can't imagine what Rex must be feeling right now.

But if I was going through something terrible...

..I'd want you by my side.

Go. Before they come.

I can stay.

No. Cos if I look at you, I'll cry.

Just go. I'll be strong.

Kitty...

..you don't have to go.

Please! Don't. I'm OK.

Thank you for letting me stay.

Now, you listen to me, Bree Deringer.

There was no way I was letting you be alone last night.

I wasn't technically alone.

Shane doesn't count.

You need to be with people who know you.

No matter how tough you think you are...

Thanks, Mrs B.

Now...eggs?

Yes, please!

It's important to eat at a time like this.

Especially at a time like this.

Now, dig in before I have to leave to go to school.

It's Saturday.

I said I'd open the gates.

There's a big fencing competition on.

Since when do you know about sporting events?

I like to know what I'm avoiding at school.

Oh...

What's the opposite to fencing?

Er...not fencing?

Let's do that.

This is taking forever.

You know you were supposed to only copy the hard drive, right?

Well, yes.

But then Amber just showed up and I just panicked and...

You know, then we...

Then we heard about Mika.

Hm.

One time in the library, she had this pen,

with a little T-Rex on the end.

Out of nowhere, she pointed it at me and went, "Rarr!"

And she laughed, like it was the best thing ever.

Yeah. I remember that pen.

It's mine. Amber.

I'll just let it ring out. I don't want her asking where I am.
