Alright, one more class to go. Did you happen to get that short essay done for psychology?
No. Tim and I hung out last night. Come on Natatlie! That project's due tomorrow
and we need you to get it done. I know. I know. I'll get it done. Tim just
really wanted to hang out last night. Speaking of Tim where is he?
He's probably on his way from History with Paige. They've been walking together more
recently. Does that bother you?
Well, I know it shouldn't but it does. Paige and Tim have been friends a long time.
You don't have anything to worry about. Oh, you're right.
Look, here they come.
Hey, how's my birthday girl doing?
It's not my birthday yet. Geez, don't you know your own girlfriend's
birthday? Of course I do. It's Sunday.
So are you planning anything romantic? Well, we're going to a restaurant for a candle
lit dinner. Ooh . . .
You better get off to your next class. Alright, alright. Oh wait, before I forget.
We're throwing a big 25th anniversary party for my parents tomorrow night. Can you make
it? Sure, if it makes you happy.
Sure will. See you later.
Twenty-five years of marriage. My parents
barely made it ten. So why did they split up anyways?
They always fought and my mom's better off anyways.
What happened to your dad? Don't know and don't care.
So, metacognate over the course of the weekend over whether or not you're an optimist or a pessimist.
Okay? We have about 15 minutes and you have a project due tomorrow and I'm going to guess
you haven't started it, so let's do that now. Go ahead.
I think I'm going to get something from my locker.
Can I go to my locker real quick?
I have to get something for the project. Yeah, go ahead. Just take a pass.
So are you and Tim really going to have a candle lit dinner on Sunday night?
That's what he says, but I'll believe it when I see it.
Um, I'm going to be right back.
Mr. Motz?
Yeah. Can I use the restroom please?
Yeah. Take a pass.
So here's some drawing I did, mapping out
the different parts of the brain. Did you happen to see Paige?
Yeah, she was in the hallway talking to Tim. Why?
She told Mr. Motz, she had to go to the bathroom. I'm sure they just ran in to each other along the way.
No! I bet she intended to talk to him.
Why do you say it like that? Because her phone lit up before she left.
Alright, I'm back. Where were you?
Oh, I just ran to the bathroom. So what'd I miss?
I was just showing Natalie the diagrams I drew.
Oh, cool. Let me see. I have these definitions that I did. I didn't get them all finished,
but we're going to have to finish them tonight. Yeah, true.
Alright guys. That's it. Your projects are still due tomorrow. Be good. See you later.
Hey! See you at my house at 5:30? Sure.
What's gotten in to her? I don't really know.
Maybe she'll talk about it later tonight when we work on the project.
Maybe. Alright, see you later.
See ya.
Alright, don't forget we have to make sure
that it lists all the elements on it. I'll make the cover sheet.
Alright. Make sure you put all of our names on it.
So, Natalie, you don't seem to be quite yourself tonight. Is everything okay?
I don't know. You tell me. Tell you what? I don't understand.
Oh, it's my mom.
Hey mom, what's up? Need me to come now? Yeah, that's fine.
Sorry girls . . . gotta go. Mom needs me, family emergency ya know?
You don't mind do you?
Nope. Not at all.
Well, here's a list of my definitions that I put together. Call me if you need any help.
See you later. Bye.
Hurry up! Get your coat on!
What? Why? Because, she's up to something and I don't
believe her. So what are you going to do about it?
We are going to follow her. Really?
Let's go.
What is she doing here? See, I told you! She lied to us!
Maybe her mom just needed her to stop here.
Oh that tramp! How could she do this to me? How could she do this to me?
Woah, woah, woah, calm down. Calm down? What do you mean calm down? My
boyfriend's cheating on me with my best friend! You don't know that for sure.
I do know that for sure. She's sneaking around behind my back, stealing Tim away from me.
I know it looks bad . . . Ya think?
But you need to go in there and discover the truth.
No, I can't do it. I just can't. Wait. What are you doing?
I can't do it! You need to go in there and discover the truth.
I can't handle the truth. What do you mean you can't handle the truth?
The truth is that my best friend is stabbing me in the back and my boyfriend's cheating
on me. What don't you get about that? I just can't believe Paige would do something
like this. You two have been friends for such a long time!
Look! Who's side are you on anyways? I'm on nobody's side! Where are we going?
I'm taking you home. What about our project?
I don't care about the project! I don't care about anything right now!
But Natalie! Just stop!
Natalie! Get out! Get out!
Hey, how are you? Not good.
Why? Everybody's been sending me hurtful text messages.
Really? Yeah, I wanted to stay home today, but my
mom wouldn't let me. It's that bad?
Yeah. I'm so sorry, but hey, I was meaning to ask you . . .
Hey, look who it is. It's the sleaziest girl in school.
Hey! Paige!
Hey. I tried texting you. Why didn't you ever text me back?
Sorry. I turned my phone off. So what'd you text me about?
Well, I asked if there was anything going
on, between you and Tim. Like, do I like him?
Yeah. No, why?
Because, Natalie seems to think you do. Is that what this is all about? Natalie thinks
I like Tim, so she trashes me to the whole school? This is ridiculous!
Paige wait! Hey watch where you are going!
Alright guys it's time to turn in your projects.
Just go ahead and stack them up over here before you leave.
Alright guys, that's the bell. Have a great weekend. I will see you later. Woah, Natalie,
I need to speak with you, Olivia, and Paige.
Alright, I noticed you guys did not turn in your project
and I've also noticed that you guys have been oddly quiet. You want to
tell me what's going on? Well, we got together last night to work on
our project and . . . Why didn't you two just turn it in?
I don't know! Why don't you tell us why you left us all alone to do it by ourselves?
I told you! My mom needed me to come home. That's a lie! We followed you to the community
center. You did?
Yes! Well then you'd be happy to know that TIm
and I were decorating for your surprise birthday party at the community center. So, happy birthday
. . . hope you're satisfied.
Paige wait! So you were planning a surprise
birthday party this whole time? Yeah, but no one seems to believe me.
I believe you and I think Natalie does too. This whole thing was just a big misunderstanding.
I'd say. I went through all this time and effort just to put this party on for her and
this is how she repays me? By trampling all over my reputation?
Natalie was wrong in what she did. So was I. So why don't we go back in there and see
if we can't figure this whole thing out? I can't be in the same room as her, let alone
talk to her. You don't need to say anything. Let just go
back in there and see what she has to say.
Why don't you two have a seat?
Listen. We've all three been friends for such a long time and I believe that our
friendship is worth sitting down and working this whole thing out. Now I know that you're
both really upset and hurt by this whole thing, so I just think that we should take a deep breath,
stay calm, listen, and try our best not to point our fingers at each other. Okay?
Paige, I just felt like I couldn't trust you, 'cause I knew that you were sneaking around
behind my back. Of course, now I know why, but does that help you understand why I acted
the way I did? No, I get it. I understand why you did what
you did, but it hurts my feelings that you would say all of that stuff about me without
coming to me first. Why would you do that? Look Paige. I don't know why I acted the way
I did. I've been asking myself the same question. The only thing that I can come up with is
that I'm a miserable person. I have been ever since my dad left us for some other woman.
I've been afraid. Afraid to let people in because it's the people closest to me that
caused me the most hurt. But the thing is that my fear have caused me to hurt others
that I deeply care about so I'm sorry for all the hurt that I caused you.
Saying you're sorry isn't going to fix anything. You've totally ruined me. I can't
be friends with you anymore.
Surprise!
Sixteen! Happy birthday! Oh thanks!
Hey happy birthday! Oh wow. What a surprise.
You can stop pretending. I know you already knew.
You did? Yeah and I know that you and Paige aren't
getting along either.
Hey happy birthday.
Oh thanks. I don't know how happy it will be.
Natalie, you need to make things right with Paige.
I tried but it didn't work to well. Well, would you be willing to try again?
Of course. Then why don't you?
Look Paige. I meant everything I said earlier and I know there's nothing I can do to make
it up, but I'm willing to try. Do you think you can forgive me?
Yeah, I forgive you. Okay, good.
I got you a present. Aw, thanks.
You're welcome.
