Awkward.

‫LAST SEASON ON AWKWARD

‫NOBODY CAN KNOW THAT I ‫LIKE YOU.

‫- THIS CAME IN THE MAIL ‫FOR YOU.

‫- JENNA, YOU COULD DISAPPEAR ‫AND NO ONE WOULD NOTICE.

‫- "A FRIEND?"

‫SOMETIMES BEING A TEENAGER ‫MAKES YOU WANT TO DIE.

‫ASPIRIN, TAKE ME AWAY. ‫

‫- OUR DAUGHTER IS SUICIDAL. ‫- I DIDN'T TRY TO KILL MYSELF.

‫- THE LOSER WANTS US ‫TO TALK ABOUT HER.

‫- I LOVE THAT GIRL. ‫- BETTER HIDE THE KNIVES.

‫- WHAT IS THE FASCINATION ‫WITH ME?

‫- YOU HAVE SOME SERIOUS ‫BACKBONE.

‫- I REALLY LIKE YOU.

‫- YOU'RE IN AN OPEN ‫RELATIONSHIP?

‫- WHO...THE ‫INVITED YOU?

‫- I DID.

‫- HE'S TAKING YOU PUBLIC, ‫OUTING YOU AS A COUPLE.

‫- ARE YOU AND MATTY TOGETHER?

‫- LOOKS LIKE MATTY INVITED ‫A LOT OF PEOPLE.

‫- YOU HAVE TO BE HOME ‫RIGHT AWAY?

‫- I HAVE A FEW HOURS ‫TO KILL.

‫I'M NOT GONNA HOOK UP ‫WITH MATTY AGAIN UNTIL WE DTR.

‫- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? ‫- DEFINE THE RELATIONSHIP.

‫- YOU PROMISED NOT TO HOOK UP ‫AGAIN WITHOUT CLARITY.

‫YOU BETTER GET IT SOON ‫BEFORE YOUR DUMPSTER HUMPING

‫WITHOUT A SAFETY NET.

‫- ARE WE...TOGETHER?

‫- YOU'RE NOT THE OBJECT ‫OF HIS AFFECTION.

‫- YOU'RE EASY TO TALK TO.

‫- I WAS JUST THINKING ‫THE SAME THING.

‫YOU THINK MATTY KNOWS ‫JAKE KISSED ME?

‫- NO WAY. ‫GUYS DON'T TALK.

‫- I KISSED JENNA HAMILTON. ‫- WHAT?

‫- SO YOU CAN SLEEP ‫WITH ME IN PRIVATE,

‫BUT YOU CAN'T TALK TO ME ‫IN PUBLIC?

‫FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WANT, ‫MATTY,

‫BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF BEING ‫YOUR SECRET.

‫- I'M SO GLAD ‫I WROTE YOU THAT LETTER.

‫- JAKE CAN'T BE TRUSTED.

‫- WE'RE NEVER GONNA BE ‫ABLE TO CONTROL THE THINGS

‫THAT HAPPEN TO US, ‫SWEETHEART, BUT...

‫YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONTROL ‫HOW YOU FEEL.

‫- THE REASON THAT I KEEP ‫BRINGING UP OUR KISS

‫IS BECAUSE I LIKE LIKE YOU.

‫- I WAS JUST NOMINATED

‫FOR SOPHOMORE ‫WINTER FORMAL PRINCESS.

‫- AH!

‫- AH, YOU JUST MISSED HER.

‫- I DIDN'T KNOW ROSATI ‫WAS THE GUY

‫YOU'VE BEEN TELLING ME ABOUT. ‫- YEP.

‫JAKE'S MY DATE.

‫I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. ‫IT'S TOO LATE.

‫MOM?

‫IT WAS THE NIGHT ‫BEFORE CHRISTMAS

‫AND ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE,

‫NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING...

‫EXCEPT FOR MY MOUSE,

‫WHICH WASN'T WIRELESS OR WORKING ‫AND DRIVING ME INSANE,

‫BECAUSE EVEN MY KEYBOARD ‫WAS ACTING INANE.

‫USING PLUSES FOR "T"s, ‫EXCLAMATIONS FOR "I"s,

‫I HOPED SANTA WOULD BRING ‫A LAPTOP SURPRISE.

‫EITHER PIXELS OR PRINT ‫MY BLOG WOULD BE FINE,

‫BUT I NEEDED A BREAK ‫TO START THINKING OFFLINE.

‫THINKING ABOUT WHAT I FOUND ‫POST THE DANCE.

‫THINKING HOW I FOUND IT ‫BY CHANCE.

‫I FINALLY UNVEILED ‫WHO HAD SCRIPTED THE LETTER.

‫IT WAS SOMEONE I KNEW... ‫WHO SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER.

‫NOT LISSA,

‫NOT MING,

‫NOT TAMARA, ‫NOT SADIE,

‫NOT MATTY, ‫NOT DADDY,

‫BUT THE LADY WHO MADE ME.

‫SO FOR OVER A WEEK, ‫I DEBATED MY ACTION.

‫WOULD I FORGIVE ‫OR FORGET?

‫OR FOCUS ON... ‫DISTRACTION?

‫LIKE DECORATING ‫FIVE DOZEN COOKIES

‫WITH SUGAR AND SPICE.

‫OR WATCHING EVERY MOVIE ‫ON PAY-PER-VIEW.

‫TWICE.

‫AND WHEN ALL ELSE FAILED ‫TO PREOCCUPY MY MIND,

‫I WOULD HELP JAKE ROSATI ‫WORK ON HIS GRIND.

‫THIS IS FRUSTRATING. ‫MAYBE WE SHOULD--

‫- TAKE OFF OUR CLOTHES? ‫- OR GO INSIDE.

‫BEFORE MY DAD GETS SUSPICIOUS.

‫- RIGHT.

‫- IT'S GETTING LATE, ‫I SHOULD GO.

‫- ONLY IF YOU PROMISE

‫TO OPEN MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT ‫TONIGHT.

‫- OH. WHERE CAN I FIND IT?

‫- YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR SOMETHING ‫ARRIVING VIA EMAIL.

‫- OH.

‫

‫CONSIDERING VACATION DAYS ‫WERE LIKE DOG YEARS,

‫JAKE AND I WERE ALREADY ON ‫THE VERGE OF COMMON LAW STATUS.

‫SO MAKING US ONLINE OFFICIAL

‫SEEMED LIKE A FORMALITY.

‫AND YET, I WAS AFRAID.

‫WOULD JAKE STILL ACCEPT ME ‫IF HE KNEW MY OWN MOTHER DIDN'T?

‫I NEED CLARITY ‫AND AN--

‫- EXPLANATION?

‫WHY DO YOU NEED ‫AN EXPLANATION?

‫- I'M NOT A DOUCHEBAG.

‫AM I? ‫- NO.

‫- BUT THE JURY WAS STILL OUT ‫ON MY MOTHER.

‫WELL, LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ALL ‫WRAPPED UP HERE, SO--

‫- NOT SO FAST.

‫I HAVE ONE MORE GIFT FOR YOU.

‫OH, YOU MISSED THE CARD. ‫HERE.

‫"THIS IS WHO YOU ARE."

‫I NEVER WANT YOU TO FORGET ‫HOW PRECIOUS YOU ARE TO ME.

‫- I COULDN'T. ‫SHE PUT IT IN WRITING.

‫OF THE CAREFRONTATION KIND.

‫THANKS.

‫- THIS IS SOMETHING ‫TO REMIND YOU

‫HOW PRECIOUS YOU ARE TO ME.

‫- HOW SHOULD I DRESS TONIGHT?

‫- SEXIFIED.

‫IT'S NEW YEAR'S EVE ‫AND YOU HAVE A DATE,

‫WHICH MEANS YOU'RE GUARANTEED ‫TO SWAP SALIVA.

‫THE ONLY THING I'M GUARANTEED ‫IS A PROZAC ATTACK.

‫I CAN'T BELIEVE RICKY'S ‫HOLED UP IN HAVASU

‫WITH HIS GRANDMA ‫WHEN WE'RE FINALLY COMMIT LEGIT.

‫- OH, YOU GUYS DTR'ED?

‫- HE SEXTED ME ‫A PICTURE OF HIS HAND

‫WITH A NOTE THAT SAYS, ‫"WE MISS YOU."

‫THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT UP. ‫WE'RE TOGETHER.

‫NOW, YOU, YOU NEED AN OUTFIT ‫THAT PLAYS UP YOUR ASSETS.

‫OH! BORROW SOMETHING ‫FROM YOUR MOM.

‫GUARANTEED SHE HAS SOMETHING ‫TO BOOST YOUR BITTIES.

‫- I'M NOT SURE MY MOM'S STYLE ‫SENDS THE RIGHT MESSAGE--

‫WITH WORDS OR CLOTHES.

‫I STILL HADN'T TOLD TEE ‫THAT MY MOM WROTE THE LETTER.

‫I HADN'T TOLD ANYONE,

‫'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY ‫TO HATE MY MOM

‫UNTIL I FIGURED OUT ‫IF I DID.

‫- HELLO? ‫- I'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.

‫SEE YOU SOON.

‫- WHERE YOU GOING?

‫- A PARTY.

‫- WELL, YOUR DAD AND I ‫WERE JUST GONNA

‫TAKE YOU TO A MOVIE. ‫- SORRY.

‫- ARE YOU GOING WITH JAKE? ‫- YEP.

‫- IS HE A GOOD KISSER? ‫- MOM!

‫- WELL, IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO ‫I WAS YOUR AGE.

‫YOU CAN TALK TO ME... ‫ABOUT ANYTHING.

‫- I WASN'T READY TO TALK ‫UNTIL I FIGURED OUT WHAT TO SAY.

‫SO THE ONLY WAY TO GET MY MOM ‫OUT OF MY HAIR

‫WAS TO DO IT.

‫I GOTTA DO MY HAIR.

‫- NEED HELP? ‫- NOPE.

‫- IF I WAS A PARANOID PERSON,

‫I WOULD SAY THAT ‫YOU'RE TRYING TO AVOID ME.

‫- WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT?

‫

‫- WELL, FOR STARTERS,

‫YOU'VE BEEN REALLY DISTANT ‫THE LAST TWO WEEKS.

‫I CAN TELL WHEN SOMETHING'S ‫EATING YOU UP,

‫AND I THINK ‫I KNOW WHAT IT IS.

‫I DETECTED SOMETHING MISSING,

‫AND REALIZE ‫YOU MUST'VE SEEN IT.

‫THIS IS REALLY HARD ‫FOR ME TO SAY,

‫SO I'LL JUST COME OUT WITH IT.

‫- SHE WAS ABOUT TO CONFESS.

‫- I NOTICED YOU AND JAKE ‫WEREN'T ONLINE OFFICIAL.

‫IT TAKES A WHILE ‫FOR BOYS TO COMMIT.

‫WHICH IS WHY YOU HAVE ‫TO MANIPULATE THEM INTO IT.

‫DO YOU KNOW HIS PASSWORD?

‫

‫- IN FOUR SHORT MONTHS, ‫I HAD EVOLVED.

‫I'D GONE FROM THAT GIRL ‫WHO TRIED TO KILL HERSELF

‫TO THAT GIRL WHO HAD A DATE ‫ON NEW YEAR'S EVE.

‫BUT FOR SOME REASON, ‫NEW JENNA STILL COULDN'T SHAKE

‫FEELING LIKE THE OLD ONE.

‫"WHAT'S LEFT TO BE RESOLVED?"

‫- HAPPY NEW YEAR! ‫HA HA.

‫HI, HI. ‫WELCOME.

‫- I HADN'T SPOKEN TO MATTY ‫SINCE THE DANCE,

‫AND I WAS WORRIED ‫THAT SEEING HIM WOULD BE...

‫WEIRD.

‫- WELL, WHAT ARE YOU ‫WAITING FOR?

‫LET'S GET A DRINK ‫IN YOUR HAND.

‫- DEBRIEF. NOW!

‫- MATTY DIDN'T EVEN FLINCH.

‫HE JUST JET SKIED PASSED ‫HIS HEARTACHE.

‫- YEAH, THOSE FIST BUMPS ‫WERE NOT PAINED.

‫- OKAY, I GOT THE MEMO. ‫HE'S FINE, BUT I'M NOT.

‫SOMEONE'S READING MY BLOG. ‫I GOT A COMMENT TONIGHT.

‫- HOW? ‫- IT'S ON A PUBLIC SITE.

‫- I KNEW IT. ‫WHICH ONE?

‫- IT DOESN'T MATTER NOW. ‫I HID IT.

‫- WHY'D YOU MAKE IT PUBLIC ‫IN THE FIRST PLACE?

‫- I DON'T KNOW! ‫I DIDN'T REALLY THINK ABOUT IT.

‫IT WAS ANONYMOUS... ‫SORT OF.

‫SO IT'S NOT ONE OF YOU GUYS?

‫- LIKE YOU WOULDN'T KNOW ‫IF IT WAS ME.

‫I CAN'T KEEP A SECRET ‫FOR .

‫- TRUE.

‫- SO DO YOU THINK ‫IT'S SOMEONE WE KNOW?

‫- MOST LIKELY, ‫IT'S SOME CREEPY OLD PERV.

‫LIKE PENG HUANG. ‫- WHO?
