( music playing )
Cassie:
Mr. Lane: As your new Vice Principal,
I'm requiring you to have an extracurricular activity this year.
Or as I'm calling it, a "thang."
- Fashion. - Cheer.
- Writing songs. - Well, I got an after-school job.
Captain: Two, two, three--
( grunts ) What the heck?
You're both off the team.
What?
This year, I'm going to date Scott.
You're super mean.
Anyone who's willing to date you
must have no self-esteem.
Kate:
I didn't know about that.
Then I'm breaking up with you now.
Hey, Spencer, I've been trying to talk to you all day.
Hey, Jenna, what's up?
Kate: How's Cassie?
You still haven't talked?
I've been waiting all summer to apologize face-to-face.
Did you know that today's the day I...
Both: ...finally get to see Sam?
Mr. Lane:
about signing you up for dance classes
after school starting today!
Hi, are you new here?
( bell ringing )
Mr. Lane: ( over PA )
That's right, it's a solar eclipse!
( laughs )
And even more importantly today is the deadline
to submit your "thang" to me, uh, by me--
uh, I mean, ( clears throat ) Mr. Lane.
I am the one who is reading
the morning announcements right now.
I know you can't see me,
so I just wanted to remind you.
All right! That's me, Mr. Lane, signing off.
Oh, my God! Jesus!
That is scary talking to people
when you can't see 'em.
I really do not like that.
Maybe you should get someone else
to do the announcements, Mr. Lane.
Huh, maybe I should.
( bell rings )
You really like this new dance class, huh?
Not as much as I love your scarf.
Thanks, I made it myself.
I was gonna ask you what you're doing
after school today, but I think I already know.
I have dance at 2:30.
And it's solar eclipse day.
It's like night time during the day.
If I want that, I'll just close my curtains.
Well, there's actually multiple solar eclipses every year,
but you can only see them at certain spots on the Earth.
Fascinating.
I think that's my cue.
- Hey. - Hey.
Do you wanna hang out after school?
Uh, actually it's--
Solar eclipse, I know, I meant,
do you want to watch the solar eclipse after school?
( soft music playing )
Cassie:
I guess you can't really watch the moon eclipse the sun
if you're standing on the moon.
I feel like this is a fantasy.
Cassie?
- Cassie! - Uh, don't you think it's a little public?
I mean, Kate's going to be there, right?
She has her after-school job until late, so...
come on, it'll be fun.
Okay, but no making fun of me when I geek out
because I will be geeking out.
Awesome.
( music playing )
Mr. Lane: ( over PA )
can I see you in my office?
This is Mr. Lane again by the way.
If you didn't know.
I see you're still making your own clothes.
Maybe you'll get good at it one day.
I still see you're cruel to people for no reason.
Come on in, Diana!
So, I heard you're no longer doing cheer.
so that means you need a new "thang"
for the new year.
I've got that taken care of.
I'm going to be class president.
( scoffs ) You mean running for class president.
Nobody would be foolish enough to challenge me.
Okay! Very cool.
I admire that confidence.
And you know, I'm all about confidence.
( chuckles ) Except when I'm on dates,
or when I'm talking to people who might yell at me.
Or when I'm going snorkeling.
Too many fish with questionable motives.
( sighs )
- Can I go? - Oh, yes, of course.
Please, bring in Jenna.
Jenna! So, have you come up with a way
to utilize your skills
so you can pay the bills? ( chuckles )
And I do mean hypothetical bills
because of course you're still a minor.
Right. Well, I was thinking I could help kids with
ugly designs in their lockers,
and help them be cooler.
Hmm. Yeah, that's not gonna cut it.
So, you have until the end of day tomorrow
to come up with some "thang"
or else I'll be assigning you a "thang."
( soft music playing )
I'm excited to announce to you all
that I'm going to be your new class president,
and I'm appointing Morgan to be my campaign manager.
Says who?
Excuse me?
Come before me, Lady Morgan of 342 Fairweather Lane.
Now kneel and kiss my ring.
As I suspected, a commoner.
A pretender at our midst.
And you know what we do to those who lie
to the princess.
That's fine, Morgan.
You don't need to be my campaign manager.
I intend to officially announce my candidacy this afternoon
when school lets out.
And I'm going to make sure Scott's there,
right beside me.
- Hey, Jenna. - Oh, hi...
Scott. I didn't recognize you.
You mean, without all the acne.
No, it's just...
been a few years since we've talked.
Yeah, I think the last time we hung out
you were stealing a swing from me during recess.
Sorry about that.
I just wanted to say your drawings are really good.
Thanks.
It's a new dress I wanna make.
I'm actually working on something too,
and I could use some help.
From me?
Mind if I sit?
Sure.
Mr. Lane: ( over PA )
uh, Mr. Lane's office.
This is Mr.--
So I hear you're no longer cheerleading.
That's Diana's fault.
( laughing ) I don't care who's fault it is, okay?
All I care about is that you have a "thang,"
and, Morgan, your grades are not good.
All I'm saying is that you need
an extra special "thang" that looks good to colleges.
That's why I'm giving you the morning announcements.
- What? - Yeah! They're super fun,
really easy, and nothing to be scared of, for sure.
And you'll be doing it with Eli, the AV guy.
The kid who always smells like cheese?
( sniffs )
( scoffs ) I won't do it!
Okay, well, maybe I should call your parents
and we can talk about your grades.
- Ugh! Fine. - Mr. Lane: Super!
Wanna give this thing a testaroo?
- Now? - Yeah! Now's my favorite time.
Along with party time. ( chuckles )
Here.
( PA static )
( mic feedback )
Attention, Millwood?
( mic feedback )
( bell rings )
Morgan: (over PA)
so make sure you work on your "thang"
so Mr. Lane doesn't need to assign you to a "thang."
I can't believe I just said the word "thang."
And so, it is with great pleasure and humility
that I'm announcing my candidacy for class president.
So when election day comes, make sure to vote Diana.
Or else. ( giggles )
There you go.
What?
- Did you see this? - Yeah.
I can't believe Scott's running against me.
He wasn't even hot till this year.
I've been hot since, like, fifth grade.
No offense, Diana, but this seems like something
you should bring up to your campaign manager,
who you'll remember, isn't me.
Does this drawing look like...
Jenna!
( soft music playing )
Instructor: And wide second, plie.
And right shoulder.
Oh, well, well.
I thought we scared you off after our first session.
All right, everyone, switch.
Hey, we met last time, remember?
Julian.
( both chuckle )
I'll definitely remember now.
Ooh! Let's do this!
Everyone look at Cassie and Julian.
Let's do that. Hand shake stretch, through the legs.
Stretching is very important, you guys.
If only I would have stretched more,
I wouldn't have pulled a hamstring
and lost the regional dance finals in 2007,
and I wouldn't be here today.
You're gonna hear that a lot.
Got it.
Eyes up you two, come on.
And everybody up, and over.
Woman:
Make sure everything is tidy and straightened.
The customer is always right,
unless they ask for something with fern,
in which case they are very wrong.
( floor boards creaking )
How much experience do you have with hanging clothes?
I have a closet.
It's not only clothing
we're selling at Vanilla & Sage,
it's also a presentation, a feeling.
Show me how you hang.
Nice.
Some people throw all their clothing in a pile
like they're making themselves a nest.
( floor boards creaking )
All right, Kate, you can get started
by organizing the blouses by size.
Instructor: Four, five, six, seven, eight.
One.
All right, good work everyone.
Nice progress this week.
Keep doing your stretches.
Makes all the difference.
Would have made all the difference to me
if I had stretched more in 2007.
We can't take back the past.
Have a good week, everyone.
Hey, so you missed the first couple sessions.
If you want, I can stay late and catch you up
on some of the routines.
That'd be awesome, but today's solar eclipse day.
Astronomy and space is kind of my thing,
so I can't miss it.
Kind of wanna watch that too
if I can find some of those eclipse glasses.
Is it really that obvious
that I need extra help on the routine?
You're doing great.
Especially for someone who just joined the class,
but everyone needs some help sometimes,
so if you need any extra practice,
the offer's on the table.
No tags showing, dear.
Have you seen Luca around?
The register is jammed again.
Who?
Woman: Luca, there you are.
Have you been in the store the whole time?
I'm stealthy.
Kate, this is my stepson, Luca.
Luca, this is Kate, she's going to be helping around the shop.
I believe you both go to Millwood.
Kate: Nice necklace.
It keeps away the bad spirits.
Kate!
Um, so does that mean you're--
Luca: Does that mean I'm what?
A warlock?
A witch.
( snake rattling )
Are you all right, Kate?
I'm just feeling a little woozy.
Oh, I do not have time to get sick.
You can go home early, Kate.
Go take some vitamins and get uncontagious.
Come on.
And Luca, will you please help me with this register?
Oh, hey, um, I hope you like it.
This is, uh, my first time watching an eclipse,
but this is how YouTube said to do it, so...
Kate's not here.
Yeah, this is perfect.

Hey. Are you okay?
You know the sun isn't disappearing forever, right?
I just helped Scott with his flyers

Diana tried to kill me once.
Sixth grade. It was pretty terrifying.
Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?
Just 'cause I have a girlfriend
doesn't mean I can't have girl friends.
I'm sorry about last year.
I should have paid more attention to you.
I just had things going on.
It's fine.

I wanna watch it too.

What's going on here?
We're just watching the eclipse.
No, what's going on
We're just hanging out.
We're just hanging out?
What? Aren't we?
No. I--
Kate, can I talk to you for a second?
All summer I wanted to apologize to you
for dating Brayden.
I thought I did something so awful,
and I find you holding hands with my brother.
Now you know how it feels.
♪ Stop saying that I wasn't enough ♪
♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
( explosion )
I can't believe I was gonna apologize to you.
I can't believe you're so uncool about me dating your brother.
I'm fine with it, actually.
I only care when Sam dates my friends.
