You Get Me

During the summer before my senior year, I got lucky.

My life became the California dream I always wanted.

I got a job at a place right by the beach.

Sure, I was busing tables,

but tips were good and my friends would meet me after work,

and we'd just hang out.

It was perfect.

But most importantly, I had Ali.

She moved here six months ago, and the moment I saw her, I just knew.

It's like everything had been in black and white.

Suddenly, there was color.

It's crazy how one person can change your life.

Ali?

It's Tyler. I'm here to rob you.

Ali?

Alison, you home?

- Hey! - Oh, you scared me.

Sorry. Hi.

Ali got me, and I got her.

That's the thing about love.

Love changes you.

We should go.

Are we really doing this?

Oh, yeah, it's happening.

It makes you do the things you never thought you would do.

Let's move gracefully into Warrior One.

- What's up, Gil? - Let me guess, let me guess. Spin class?

- Yoga. - It was super close though.

Wow, Ty, she really has you tamed.

Bro, you work in a juice truck.

Okay. What can I get you guys? One big smoothie, two straws?

- Do you want... - Two.

Two? Two berry smoothies.

- Two straws. Anything else? - Lavender cookie.

- You got it. - Love you, Gil. Thank you!

So much, Gil!

- Some nice moves out there. - Thanks.

Seriously, fastest girl on the field.

I wish Mom could watch me play.

What about me, huh? I'm just glad I get to see you play.

Me too.

When you kick the goal that wins the World Cup, you can thank me

for teaching you everything you know.

Okay.

Here.

What's this?

- Half now, half after dinner. - Cool.

Don't you eat the whole thing. I see you.

What are we having?

I'll make you eggs. Come on, it's your favorite.

- You going out? - Mm-hmm.

- With Gil? - Yep.

Is your girlfriend going?

What do you know about it, you little spy?

Does Mom know?

No. Shh.

Okay, keep it on the DL. Our secret.

- -

All right, Mom's home. I love you. Be good.

- You got the dishes? - Yep.

- All right. - Have fun tonight.

I will.

She's not making me wait.

Can you hear yourself through that?

We agreed, together.

Well, I can't wait anymore.

- Are you kidding me? - Dude...

- Are you kidding me? - All right.

Ali's gonna be here any second! Fan that shit out.

It's unhealthy to hold it in.

- Oh, my gosh. -

Ugh.

This is not helping... Oh, shit.

Baby!

Don't fuck this up.

Move, Gil!

- 'Sup, baby? - Hi! Hi, boo.

- You look pretty. - Thank you.

What's going on? What did I miss?

Is that a new perfume?

Well, you delinquents are late.

Sorry, Gil couldn't decide what to wear.

I could decide, and I picked his mom's underwear.

They've been like this since elementary school, FYI.

I figured.

Hey.

- Melinda! - Hi!

- Hi! - Happy Labor Day.

Thanks for having us over.

Aw. Enjoy your freedom while you can.

You look gorgeous, as always.

You guys need to stop bringing him.

Okay, I have something to show you guys.

I may just push you in the pool.

Uh-oh.

It's all the same people.

She wants you so bad.

It's kind of sad, to be honest.

Cheers, dude.

To a night full of endless possibilities.

Alison effin' Hewett!

- Oh, my God! I knew it was you! - What are you doing here?

Wow, it's been a long time.

Wow, you look so sober.

- Like, why are you so sober? - Tyler, this is Chase.

- What's going on, buddy? - He's my friend from San Francisco.

- Nice to meet you. - Hey, have a good time tonight, okay?

- I'll see... - See you later. Wanna go?

Is he a friend of yours?

Just someone from San Francisco. Ignore him.

Can you grab me a Diet Coke?

Yeah.

Going light tonight, bro?

It's for Alison.

Shit. Times change, huh?

You didn't know Alison back in San Francisco, did you?

Whew.

It wasn't a party unless Ali was there. You know, Ali Hewett.

She sucked it like a champ. That was her thing.

She was en fuego , man. I mean, she was,

oh God, just so hot.

But you know what I'm talking about. You've tapped that, right?

Thanks. It was great meeting you.

I don't know why she didn't introduce us sooner.

Great meeting you, too.

Motherfucker.

Hey, are you in line?

Uh...

Yeah, seems that way, doesn't it?

Now it does, yeah.

How's it going?

I got ditched tonight, so...

- Really? - Mm.

Well, I just got humiliated upstairs, so welcome to the club.

- I'm Holly. - Tyler.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Sorry, who would ditch you? I don't... I can't make the connection right now.

Who would humiliate you?

I wish it was that simple.

Isn't it?

Bye, Tyler.

- Yeah, it was pretty good. - Do you know where Tyler went?

No.

There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you.

- Hey, you all right? What's going on? - Chase seems like a keeper.

What did he say to you?

He spoke very highly of you.

You slept with that guy, Ali?

You won't sleep with me, but you did it with that guy?

- Hey, come on. - Chase!

Yo, Chase!

Anything else you can tell me about my girlfriend?

- We're all about sharing, right? - Tyler.

- Stop it. - Right?

- Dude, you need to chill out. - I need to chill out?

- Tyler! - Wipe that smile off your face...

Come on! We're going outside.

You're acting crazy. You need to go home.

- Okay. What, you want me to leave? - Yeah.

So you can go hang out with Chase?

Are you serious?

Has this just been about sex for you this whole time?

Because that's really disappointing.

Oh, so now I'm disappointing?

Sorry, how's that fair when you're the one keeping the secrets?

We're done here. It's over.

Sick, right? It's not mine.

You look like you're having a great night.

I think I just got dumped.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

Come on!

You'll thank me later.

You're only gonna make it worse.

Where are we going?

I don't know.

You swallow, I swallow.

You found me.

Hey.

Come sit.

Where are we?

I know, right? It's crazy. This place is so huge.

I've been house-sitting all summer, but yet I still can't find my way around.

I can't believe anybody actually lives here.

Me either.

Did you take all these?

Yeah.

Holly, you're really talented.

Thanks.

I, uh...

I sort of taught myself.

So...

Last night happened.

Yeah, I guess it did.

- Come on, I wanna show you something. - Lead the way.

I'm pretty sure that's a fireable offense.

I'm not really a house-sitter at all.
