(soft upbeat music)
(children cheering True)
- True!
Why are there a bunch of screaming girls
in here, it's 8:00 a.m.
- It's the True Crew.
- The what?
- The True Crew, my fan club.
- You got a fan club and I'm not in it?
- Here's an application.
And Mani, the first rule of the True Crew
is to never wear blue unless you're in the crew.
- We'll consider your application.
- Good luck.
(children chanting True)
(school bell ringing)
- Good morning Molly.
- You seem awfully cheery today.
- Well I'm not leaving Milwood anytime soon
so why not make the best of it?
- Good for you.
That's what we (mumbling) call
the power of positive thinking.
(gasping)
- It's fine, I'm fine.
It's gonna be a good day, no, a great day!
(soft dramatic music)
(ominous music)
- Stupid, stupid.
- Um excuse me, who are you?
Do you even go here?
- I'm Edward.
I transferred to Milwood to be with the only
woman to touch my cold, dead heart.
But it turns out, she doesn't go here.
So (mumbling) in my head, I'm protesting.
- Okay.
Have fun.
Love and light.
(soft dramatic music)
(school bell ringing)
- Pst.
Hey you.
- Me?
- You.
Didn't I warn you about Mrs. Lee?
She doesn't allow sleeveless shirts in class.
- But my sweater's covered in spaghetti.
(dramatic music)
- And at least it has sleeves!
(glass shattering)
- You're Ms. Lee?
- Who else would it be?
I've been teachin' at Milwood since 1983
and I have never allowed sleeveless shirts in my classroom!
- [Girl] Told you.
- Hurry up child!
You got two seconds!
One and a two!
Ah, now that's better.
Welcome to my classroom sweetheart.
(soft dramatic music)
- Do we have step practice tonight?
- Excuse you?
You're going, you need to change.
- Wait, why?
- You're wearing a blue sweater.
- So are you.
- Great.
Because, it's my power color.
Everyone knows that, just like
everyone knows not to wear it.
- My teacher said I had to wear sleeves.
- Not my problem.
- So annoying.
(phone ringing)
- Mani's phone, who's calling?
- It's me.
I'm having a major problem today
and I need advice from my assistant.
- You mean Mani.
- Assistant!
- Mani.
- Assistant.
Whatever.
This new girl, she doesn't know
how to stay in her lane.
- Listen True, you're the queen of Milwood Middle School.
Just lay down the law and show her who's boss, all right?
I'll pick you up at five.
- Don't be late.
- Bye.
(upbeat music)
- Hey can I just say, you two girls killed it
the other day at practice.
- We always kill it.
- Yep.
- Excuse you.
You're in my seat.
- Oh sorry.
- You're going to need to learn the rules
or you're not gonna last very long.
The first rule is, I make the rules.
(soft upbeat music)
(sighing)
(whistling softly)
(phone ringing)
- What True, I'm busy.
- It's not True, it's Harmony.
- Oh hello Harm.
- First of all, are you dressing like an old lady?
- No, that's Granny Lee, that's my grandmother.
She's been teaching at Milwood forever.
- You look exactly like her.
- You better not let her hear you say that.
She always said I'm the ugliest grandchild.
So what's up?
What's goin' on?
Talk to me, how you doin'?
- Terrible.
This school has someway of kicking a girl when she's down.
True hates me.
- She's soft on the inside and tries
to be tough on the outside.
But listen, all you have to do is kill her with kindness.
That's what I'm doin' (chuckling).
- Thanks Mani.
But you're right.
- Kill her with kindness.
You got this Harm, later.
- Goth boy?
(soft ominous music) - My name is Edward.
- Right, Edward.
Why are you handcuffed to a railing?
- I will not break these chains until
I am reunited with my soulmate at Addaway.
- They're keeping you here too?
- My chains are more, self inflicted.
- Got it.
(soft dramatic music)
- Hey.
I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot.
I just wanna say, I love your step team
and I'd love to join.
- First of all, you can't just join,
you have to tryout.
And second, we don't let sixth graders on.
- But I was a sixth grader last year, so were you.
- It's a new rule.
No sixth graders, especially not from Addaway.
- Listen True, you think you're all that
but really you only have this power because you're mean
and everybody's scared of you.
You're a bully that only wears one color.
(soft dramatic music)
- Hey, what's the step crackers?
I saw Stomp the Yard once.
- Harmony is being a total jerk.
She called me a bully.
If I was Mani, no one would question
my authority or gumption.
Frankly I find her remarks anti-feminist.
How could you have ever been friends with her?
- True is being a bully!
You said she would like me but she doesn't like me.
I'm surprised she likes you or you like her
because she's a mean person Mani!
- You need to choose.
- You have to choose!
(dramatic music)
Me?
- Or me?
(dramatic music)
(soft upbeat music)
- Amateurs.
