The Boy She Met Online

So...

what are you gonna say?

I don't know.

What should I ask him?

Mmm...

ask him when he's gonna take you out on a real date

so that you can finally make out with him.

He's hot. I know.

Totally telling Dylan you said that... PS.

Anyway, seriously, what else do I ask him?

Well, it, uh, says here

that he plays basketball and soccer,

majoring in electrical engineering,

um... plays guitar.

Oh, ask him if he went to see any good concerts lately.

Ooh, brilliant!

See, this is why I love you.

So been to any good

concerts lately?

Oh, and ask him about his tattoo.

It's a dragon, right?

Ooh, good one!

Look at you, two in a row!

Girls... dinner!

Cami?

Ooh, my mom, it's my mom!

What's going on?

Nothing.

Mm-hmm.

Well, dinner's ready.

And, Lindsay, you're welcome to stay if you like.

Thanks, but I can't.

It's Dylan's mom's big 4-0

and they invited me to go out to eat with them.

Oh, that's so nice.

Well, tell his mom I say happy birthday.

I will.

Three minutes?

Good night.

Okay.

Where'd you put it?

Okay, he's so hot. I know.

Other people are bringing their kids to the company party.

Besides, Doug would really like to see you

before you go to New York.

Are you starving or something?

No, I just have a lot of homework to do

before I go to bed tonight.

I know you're leaving in six months,

but Doug would still...

Mom, Doug could care less about seeing me;

It's you he can't get enough of.

Come on, we're just friends.

Does he know that?

Very funny.

Oh!

Wait a second. What?

You're trying to be all sneaky, but I'm on to you.

What? Hmm.

I know why you want me to go to that party.

It's 'cause that guy's gonna be there,

that son of the VP or whatever.

Pete? Oh, Pete?

I don't know, maybe.

Maybe you should call him

and find out if he's gonna be there.

Um, because then he'd have my cell number.

Cami, Pete is a really nice kid.

He's got a lot in common with you.

Mom, he reads the dictionary

on his spare time.

The guy's a tool.

Cami.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Kendra. I'm just gonna take this upstairs.

Hold on... Cami! Bye.

Oh, you're like family, of course you can stay here.

Damn.

I wish I could find a guy as witty as you.

Uh, you've got a guy.

Jakester23.

Sorry, who's Jakester23?

He's the guy Cami met online and he's gorgeous.

What, are you desperate?

You've sunk to actually going online to find a boyfriend.

Whoa, hey, if there were any guys to date in this school,

I would, but there aren't.

Cami likes older men.

Older? Mm-hmm.

For all you know, this guy's 50 and bald.

We've seen his picture.

You've seen a picture.

He's 23 and in college.

Your mom is never gonna let you date a college guy.

Not if she doesn't know about it.

Besides, she'll be in college next year, too,

and then it won't matter.

Mmm, nice logic, Linds!

You two scare me.

I gotta get to class.

Bye, babe.

I'll text you after Lit, love you.

Love you, too. Love you more.

Uh, God, you guys are annoying.

Who is that?

Oh, she a ten.

I know.

That's Cami.

You know, the chick I've been telling you about? Mm-hmm.

We've been e-mailing for a long time now,

so...

I think I'm gonna step it up and talk to her on the phone.

Yeah.

You tell her you're getting out in two weeks? No.

Come on, she thinks I go to Penn State, not the state pen.

I had to tell her I was in college.

Great.

A girl like this'd never date a con.

Hmm.

What?

You said it yourself, man.

She is a ten!

What's gonna happen when you actually meet her?

You know what I'm saying, man?

College boys don't have appointments

with parole officers, man.

It's a waste of time.

No, it isn't.

And it doesn't matter, anyway.

It's like I said, when I get out,

things are gonna be different for me.

Amen to that.

Cami, is that a cell phone?

You know the rules about cell phones.

You can have it back at the end of the day.

I wasn't texting.

I don't care.

Thank you.

Okay, everybody, back to work.

So who were you texting in class?

I told you, I wasn't texting.

I was checking my e-mail. That is not the point.

When you're in class,

you're supposed to be paying attention. I do!

I'm getting an "A"!

It's disrespectful to your teacher.

I mean, look, when I'm in a staff meeting,

I don't sit there e-mailing while my boss is talking.

Hi. Kendra, come on in.

Hi.

Hi, Cam. Hey.

Did I come at a bad time?

Oh, no.

We're thrilled to have you.

Cami and I were just having a little discussion.

Uh, honey, why don't you help Kendra with her baggage

and I'll just check on dinner.

Sure.

I'll take that.

I better get started on my homework.

Wouldn't want Linsky to think

I don't take her class seriously.

I'm guessing that has something to do with

what I walked in on tonight.

I don't know what it is with her.

She's 17.

It's normal for her to pull away

and want to become independent.

I know and I want to encourage that.

But I also want her to be able to talk to me.

I don't know, something's going on with her

and I can't figure it out.

It's been happening for a couple of weeks.

What do you mean?

You know when you're the only one in the room

who just doesn't get the joke?

Tori, it's normal.

I mean, did you really tell your mother everything?

'Cause I sure didn't.

No.

But my mother wasn't as understanding as I am.

Jake, listen.

Mom said you can't live with her this time.

What?

She's done.

What am I supposed to do when I get out?

Where am I supposed to go after they release me?

Are you kidding me?

I can't.

I wish I could.

What do you mean, you... you can't?

I'm your brother!

Look...

you know I want to help.

I really do.

Dave doesn't think it's a good idea.

Dave.

I've got the kids staying with us now.

We're trying to get custody.

It'll just really complicate things.
