- Where the heck have you been?
(gentle pensive music)
- What do you care?
At least I'm out of your hair.
- You're right, I don't care about you,
but I do care about the money that I get
to provide for you.
If they find out that you're not living here anymore...
- If you don't tell, I won't either.
You stay out of my way, I stay out of yours.
No one needs to find out.
(gentle pensive music)
(laughs softly)
- Okay.

- So, I showed her profile to Ben,
and he was like, "Maybe."
Maybe?!
- He said that?
Maybe?
Oh, wow.
(camera shutter clicks)
(dreamy music)
(camera shutter clicks)
- I know.
She's a total babe.
He's crazy.
- It's...possible you don't know what Ben likes.
Have you ever thought about that?
- Please.
Ben's been the exact same since we were little kids.
He's gonna love Sage, I know it.
- Sage?
Does this Sage go to Crown Lake?
- Yeah?
Is that okay?
- Bailey, she's the captain of Crown Lake's dance team.
They're our biggest competitor at regionals.
You do not need to be her friend,
and she does not need to be your new sister-in-law.
- But they look so cute together.
- Bailey.
- Think about it.
Maybe what he needs is a breath of fresh air
all the way through Crown Lake.
- Bailey, no.
This is a terrible idea.
- Okay, geez.
I'll drop it.
Happy?
- Don't play with fire, Bailey.

- Is it just me, or is high school really hard?
I got a D on my math test.
- If you don't get your grades up,
you're gonna get kicked off the JV team.
- Do you need help studying?
Maybe we could get you a tutor.
- Yeah.
- I dunno, maybe. (laughs)
- Well, you need to do something
because you're radiating bad energy
and it's gonna affect everything in your life.
- What's giving me bad energy
is my math grade.
- (sighs) I wish I could help out,
but my plate's pretty full.
Gotta get to student government.
We meet in, oh gosh, five minutes.
- I gotta go, too.
I got detention for being on my phone in history.
I was just making some sales
and apparently you can't be on your phone in class?
- Well, obviously, Bel!
You've gotta pay attention.
I mean, especially in history.
It's the foundation of everything that matters.
- Right now, my foundation's crumbling.
- I believe in you, Simone.
You got this.
Come, Belle, we gotta go.
(bright music)
- Hey, I might have an idea,
but...promise you'll keep it between us?
- Okay, I promise.
- Pinky swear?
- Okay, now tell me.
- I think I might know someone who could help you out.
(bright music)
(kids chattering)
- Because of Kara's stellar performance at the bake sale,
we now have enough money to pay
for catering at regionals!
(kids clap)
Thanks, Kara!
- You're welcome.
But, now we have to find a caterer.
- Not just any caterer, a good one.
Hosting regionals is no joke.
Our pride is on the line.
- I'll keep calling around.
- Let's get you some help.
Ivy? Can you work out with Theo calling around?
- Oh, it's just some phone calls.
I really can do it on my own.
- I'd love to help.
- Sure. Okay, thanks.
We can meet up after school?
- Perfect.
- Come on, Theo.
We have class.
(gentle rhythmic music)
- What game are you playing?
- What are you talking about?
I'm just offering to help and contribute to the team.
- You're dating Finn, but openly making googly eyes
at Theo...in front of his girlfriend.
Petra might be oblivious, but I'm not.
- Why are you so invested in my love life all of a sudden?
- Oh, I'm not.
I'm invested in this team.
If you keep doing this,
it's not only Finn's heart you're going to break,
you'll tear apart the team.
- Noted.
I won't do anything that affects this dance team.
- Oh, so you're okay with hurting Finn?
Wow.
I knew you were difficult to work with,
but this is a whole new side of you I'm discovering.
- Kara, I--
- I said what I had to say.
(pensive music)
(cars whooshing)
- Here's your regular coffee.
Will that be it?
- Oh, how much are the blueberry muffins?
- I think they're like...five bucks each?
- Oh, never mind.
Just the coffee then.
Thank you.
- No, here.
Keep it. (laughs)
- I don't have enough for this.
- Don't worry about it, it's on me.
I mean, you're on the dance team.
I can't have you walking around hungry.
You gotta support the troops, right? (laughs)
- Thank you.
- Don't thank me, thank Junior.
He insists that we give back when we're working.
- Well, thank you, Junior.
- Have a good one.

- Hey, what's up?
You look like somebody just
crushed all your hopes and dreams.
- Just one of those days.
- Look, you were really helpful
with all of my Ben stuff, and I consider you a friend.
So I just wanted to tell you something.
- What's up?
- Ivy's not who she seems.
She's been going behind your back.
She's flirting with Theo
and making it out like it's all nothing.
It's not fair.
You deserve more, and you should know.
And I know you don't wanna hear all of this,
but I would hate to see you give your all
to someone who doesn't care.
- Kara, I know you're coming from a good place
but I don't wanna talk about this right now.
(sighs)
- You can't let her walk all over you.
You're better than that.
(pensive music)
- Oh, no.
- You okay?
- I did the wrong assignment for math.
I'm such an idiot.
- Hey, you're not an idiot.
It happens to everyone.
- You don't understand.
I've been messing up in every subject.
It's bad.
- Why don't you just ask Claire for help?
- She already said she doesn't have the time to help me.
- You just need to be straight up with her.
- I don't know.
Ever since Harmony gave her the bracelet,
she's been acting really weird towards me.
- Claire loves you.
You know her.
She just needs to be pushed in the right direction.
- You really think she would help me?
- Just ask her.
- Fine.
But this better not backfire.
(pensive music)
(locker door shuts)
(pensive music)
(cars whooshing)
- Hi.
- Hey.
- How are you?
- Good.
- How are your classes?
- Great.
- Okay. (laughs)
- We should get started.
You heard Petra.
She's really particular about finding the right person.
- Of course.
There's no competition without good food.
- So, there's Dominick's, of course.
They're the most popular option.
I can try them.
- I called already.
They're way out of our budget.
- Bummer.
I'll keep looking.
This shouldn't be so hard.
- I thought science guys were supposed to be smart.
- Hey, don't put us in a box.
- I just expected you to be more in the know
of what's good at Attaway.
- Is that a challenge, newbie?
- I don't know, is it?
- Here, what do you think of these?
Does...
this look good to you?
- Yeah, looks really good.
(expectant music)
- Wait.
I can't be that guy.
I can't do that to Petra.
- Theo, you don't know what she's--
- I'm serious.
This needs to stop.
I'm dating Petra.
I just...
I can't.
I'll call the caterer at home.
(melancholy piano music)
(pensive music)
(locker door shuts)
- Hey, you busy?
- No, just heading to student council.
- I'm just having trouble with math.
They're called rational numbers,
but they don't make any sense.
- Yeah, it's just a number you can do as a fraction
where the denominator can't be zero.
- Yeah, then you have to multiply them
and what if it's a decimal?
- Yeah, you just line them up
and then I promise you, it's not that hard.
- Well, it's hard for me,
and I have a dance meet this weekend.
- Well, maybe if you weren't balancing so much,
it'd be easier.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- I'm just saying with like math, and dance,
and planning Tuesday Tea, it adds up.
- You do student council
and like a million other clubs.
- Yeah, but I don't really
have problems multi-tasking, so...
- Okay, I was just trying to ask for help,
but since it's not that hard, I'll do it myself.
- No, no, no, that's not what I meant.
- Just forget it.
(dramatic music)
(gentle piano music)
- I'm sorry if I overstepped.
You were just there for me when I needed a friend,
and I was doing the same.
- Kara, I appreciate it, I really do.
I wish I could tell you what's going on,
but I can't.
Just believe me.
- Maybe you can talk to Ivy.
She's supposed to be working with Theo right now.
You can call her out.
- I don't think that'll solve anything.
(crashing)
- What was that?
- I don't know.
- I think it came from the locker room.
- You think someone's fighting?
- I don't know.
You never know with the football players.
- Let's check it out.
- JJ?!
- We thought there was a fight.
- What's going on?
(dramatic music)
- Why is there a mattress?
- Have you been living here?
But Bailey said that--
- I can explain.
Just don't say anything to anyone.
(dramatic music)
(air whooshes)
(dramatic music)
- [Narrator] Next time, on "Chicken Girls"--
- I can understand wanting someone
who doesn't want you the same way.
It makes us do crazy things.
- Ben, this is Sage, my friend from Crown Lake--
the one I was talking about?
- Bailey thinks you're living in a mansion.
- Good.
Let her think what she wants.
- I need to say this or it'll keep eating me up.
I saw you.
I've seen you with Spike.
