Get Even

I didn't need a lift. I'm basically at school already.

This looks better.

And what matters is how things look?

Your boyfriend left the party with another girl.

It was tragic.

You need to correct that visual.

Don't be amateur.

There's Donte. Not going to talk to him?

I was thinking no.

Cos then, if I don't...

He never gets a chance to dump you?

Yeah! Yeah, that's the theory, yeah.

Be realistic.

He can still end things, if he wants.

He's got a phone.

Ugh...

Yes, OK, yep, you're right.

Donte.

-Hey. -Hey.

I heard they made you basketball captain. That's great.

-Hey, Mika! -Thanks.

Hey, Mika! Loving your grandma underwear.

The little girl's all grown up now!

Poor Mika.

Yeah, Ronny's at it again.

Again? What do you mean, again?

Nothing.

Hey, do you want to get some burgers later?

I've got a game, but maybe after that?

Say 5-ish...at Sam's?

Yeah, we haven't done that in...ages, actually.

-So, yeah. -See you then.

Do you like Kitty Wei?

Just cos, if you do, I don't want burgers.

I just want the painful part over with.

I like her as a person.

You're my girlfriend.

Why?

I don't even know what you like about me any more.

It's cos, on the surface, you're this pretty, popular girl.

But underneath, there's so much more.

And I like that.

I like it a lot.

OK.

So, burgers later, yeah?

Cool.

Hey, John.

Are you skipping PE again?

Won't Mr Harrington summon your dad now?

Yeah, good luck getting hold of him.

Hey, I can't do what we planned.

I can't risk messing things up with Donte.

We need you to distract Ronny for half an hour.

Step one of any DGM job is information gathering.

OK, but isn't it someone else's turn to fake laugh and smile?

I don't see Ronny agreeing to date Bree or Margot. Hardly his scene.

OK, and you?

-He knows I'm friends with Mika. -Pick it up!

OK, so, basically I have no choice?

-Of course you have a choice. -Faster!

But if you choose not to do this, our plan is ruined.

Kitty, knees up!

-OK, OK, I'll let you know. -Girls, stop talking.

What was that about?

I was telling her to stay away from my boyfriend.

Faster, girls, come on.

It is so cute that you and Donte are going for a date night.

Does Sam still do those double-tower cheeseburgers?

Rex, you're not going.

Seeing you devour half a pound of meat would kill their vibe.

- Does it kill our vibe? - Hey.

Hmm. Hey. Miks, do you want to sit with us?

Rex, really?

It's his sister. She's going through a hard time.

But she still wears those shoes.

It's OK, I'm not staying.

There's something I need to do.

Hey, Ronny, I want to talk to you.

-Sorry, Miks. The answer's still no. -I don't want to go out with you.

-So why did you send me the photo? -I didn't. You...

Look, you need to learn how to take rejection.

Because, trust me, cup size that low,

it's going to happen again and again.

Whoa, quit talking to my sister like that.

Dude, come on.

Don't tell me you think she's hot!

That's messed up.

You just...

You just shut up.

OK. But, Mika...

..do me a favour.

Don't send me any more of those photos.

I've thrown up enough for one lifetime.

-No, you're all right, mate. -Rex, stop, please.

Please.

- Did you at least bring the cookies? - Of course.

Debate club isn't debate club without cookies.

Did you bring the mascot?

Obviously.

Perfect.

It would be if Ed hadn't invited that loser Margot.

Hey.

What?

Chris. Christopher!

Mate, you can't let him get to you.

He's acting like it meant nothing, Logan.

Come here, man. Come here.

-It's OK, I'm out of here. -I'm sorry.

Yeah?

How am I supposed to steal your lunch if I can't even find you?

Except you just did find me.

Yes, but you didn't wait for me after English,

which means I have to kill you.

Ah, can you make it quick and painless?

No, it's going to hurt.

So, come on, then, spill the beans.

Gross.

What's with your new lunchtime plans?

Is this supposed to be band practice?

You realise you're missing a band?

No, because I'm the band.

He means he's in the band. He is in our band.

So, you're, like, in a band with...

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

OK.

Well...

Hey, I'm Bree.

Like the cheese?

I like cheese.

Yeah, me too.

And we actually have French together.

I've never noticed.

Of course you didn't.

Cool. Well, if you want to watch me play, I know all the chords.

Do you know what? Maybe another time.

I've got to go get me some disappointing grades.

What?

Oh, God, I forgot my calculator. I'll catch you up, OK?

Ronny! Hey! I heard what you said about Mika earlier.

Oh... Is Rex still bugging out over it?

Because he just needs to chill.

Like, it's just funny.

Yeah, that's what I told him.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

I mean, it's not your fault you're not interested.

You can't help who you like.

How are things with you and Donte?

Uh...

Complicated.

Hey, do you want to maybe grab an ice cream after school?

Yeah.

Yeah, OK.

OK, meet me at Cafe Beyond, yeah?

You're leaving?

I don't care if I get detention, I can't be here right now.

-What about practice? -What about it?

You can't let what's happened control your life.

I'm not letting it. It just is.

Margot Rivers.

Is it ego or apathy that means you haven't yet chosen

an extracurricular?

I...I was going to. I...

You've ignored my colleagues' requests to make a decision.

So it's either ego - in that you think you're too good for it -

or apathy - in that you simply don't care.

I'm just not a group activity person.

When you first arrived, you signed up for Model UN,

school council, extended bio and environmental physics. Mm?

Now, an extra curricular is a requirement.

You may be clever, but if you can't socialise,

how is anyone going to know?

Hey! I've been looking for you.

Um...

I just wanted to say thank you.
