-Who are you texting? -What do I want?

-Sorry, what do we want? -Grilled cheese.

-Grilled cheese. -No.

No, I want grilled cheese first.

-No, we got that last weekend. -Please?

-She's pretty cute. -Who?

That girl sitting over there.

-Hey, hottie, come here! -No.

My friend really wants to talk to you.

No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't.

Help! Help!

-Help! -Nothing to see here.

-Mommy! -Guys, stop.

-Stop. Stop it. Stop it. -Come here. Come here!

Stop it, both of you. What-what is wrong with you?

-Alex. Stop it. -What? I'm sorry. I'm trying to...

-Shut up. -Oh, thank you.

Yay!

Great. Now she's coming.

Never seen you before.

Come sit.

Well, you don't have to overreact.

I'm Sonya.

What the hell?

You guys just left me there. I had to call my dad

-to come get me. -It was Trenton.

-He told us to just leave you. -Mm-mm. Mm-mm. No, no, no.

-My knees are so jacked up. -Oh. Oh, no.

Oh, and we're moving.

We didn't know what was happening.

-Oh, mama. -Could you please get me a Coke?

-He's thirsty. -I went down for you, asshole.

You get me a Coke. And a pretzel.

-I deserve carbs. -Y-You're right there.

I-I'd have to do a whole thing...

You're just, like, two steps. Please.

Wait. Who's this?

-I'm Coley. -Oh.

They say the quietest ones are the smartest.

-They listen. -We found her sitting all alone.

-How horrible. -Sonya has a thing for strays.

-Lovely name. -I mean, I guess

that's how I found you.

-Okay, I'm out. -Oh.

-I'm gonna go smoke a cig. -Okay.

That was quick.

-Uh, okay. -What's wrong with him?

Oh, uh, have you heard from Brooke yet?

No. I mean, I just texted her, but my mom was giving me,

like, literal hell this morning.

That's so fucked.

Oh, my God, did you take my mood ring?

-Uh, no. -I swear, it's, like, a gimmick.

So, uh, how do you guys know each other?

Uh, we live here.

-Hey. -Brooke's down at the lake.

She says it's on over there.

-Shotgun. -Shotgun.

-Oh, I called it first. -No, no, no, no, no.

-I called it first. -No, no, no.

Sonya, come on.

-Yeah. -Fuck off. I...

-I called shotgun. -Yeah.

Sonya.

Hey, we're swimming with friends at Cliffs Edge Trail.

Cool.

Well, if it's so cool, you coming or what?

-Let's go! -I'm coming!

Please move!

Watch the knees.

Brooke?

Who's that?

Coley.

Glad we didn't scare you off.

You gonna be a senior this year?

-Yeah. -Well, lucky for you,

you got a couple more months to get used to us.

Yeah, I actually, um...

Bro! Don't ruin my...

-Bro, stop. -You're all dry and warm, though.

-You swimming? -Bro.

No, thanks.

Come on, we don't bite.

Here, this one smells so good.

It's like a hundred degrees today. Get in.

I actually think I'm gonna get going.

You can't get wet?

-What? -Uh...

-It's really not that scary. -No, Trenton.

-What if we do it together? -No.

-Come on. No? No? Okay. -No.

No, stop! What are you doing?

-We're having an adventure. -Stop!

-Trenton, just put her down. -Stop! Put me down! Stop!

Put me down!

Stop. Let me go. Let me down.

-Okay, okay. -No, stop!

Such an asshole.

Trenton, you are such an asshole.

I just wanted to cool her down.

-Why is she not smiling? -She's soaking wet.

No, don't get... Sorry. He's sorry.

Hey! Hey, wait up.

Look, Trenton can be an ass sometimes,

but I swear he's a good guy.

I've known him, like, forever.

Yeah, he seems great.

Hey, don't be mad at me.

-I didn't do anything. -You were laughing.

I didn't know what else to do.

So you just go along with whatever,

as long as you get to be part of it?

Okay, wow. Harsh and untrue.

Then what was that?

Trenton was just messing around, and I-I...

I-I don't know.

Look, you don't even know me, and you're judging me?

Like, I ran over here to make sure you were okay,

and now you're just acting like some wet, grumpy bitch.

I'm so sorry. I don't... I don't know why I said that.

It's fine. It's not that. I just...

-I don't know. -Hey, hey.

Can we start over?

I feel terrible.

-Don't... -Please. Please.

You have to let me redeem myself, okay?

Honestly, I'm just stupid.

I make terrible choices-- ask anyone--

but I don't usually make people cry on first hangs, you know.

I should probably get going.

I live all the way on Kingsley Street, so Curt...

my dad is probably waiting for me.

We need to have, like, a proper hang sometime.

Give me your number.

My phone is dead now.

Right.

We can be old-fashioned.

You got a pen in there?

Um...

Honestly, Coley, I'm not used to doing all the work

like you're making me do here.

Arm.

Those are zeros.

You know, you could've just

given that to me on paper, right?

Darling, it's called romance.

Oh, my God.

Hey, Coley.

Yeah?

Promise you'll message me tonight?

Promise.

Hey.

How was your day?

Cole, you decent? Coming up.

Hey.

Morning. Uh, I got to go into town.

Do you want to come? Grab some lunch?

Get to know each other?

No, I'm good.

Okay.

Well, I'll leave you alone.

Fuck.

Shit.

I got to be honest, I've been so worried

'cause she's new to the neighborhood.

She hasn't had that many friends around--

or any, really-- so just to see someone, uh, it's...

-your visiting, it's exciting. -Yeah!

By the way, I love your house.

-It's so cool. -Oh. Thank you. Thank...

-Yeah, it's super sick. -Well, I inherited it,

-so I can't take credit for it. -Oh, I love the wood.

-It's really vintage. -Oh, thanks. Yeah.

There you are.

-Hey. -Hey.

Uh, I got to get going. I got to run some errands.

-Very nice to meet you, Sonya. -Nice to meet you.

You're welcome anytime.

Cole, I'll see you in a bit.

And you guys have fun.

So what are you doing here?

Well, you didn't message me, so...

you broke your promise.

I showered.

Yeah.

So what do you want to do?

How do you know I want to hang out with you?

Oh, my God. Let's go!

Do you do this a lot?

I mean, fake I.D.'s can be kind of hard

in a town where everyone knows everyone.

So...

SJ's actually still kind of pissed at me for ditching her.

Whoops.

Getting left behind sucks.

Someone leave you behind?

My dad has plenty of alcohol at home.

I don't think he would mind if we...

What are you, a wimp?

No.
