I don't want to know.
There's chicken pot pie defrosting on the counter.
Dad is not home and I'm going to therapy.
First stop of the day.
Just you and me, kid.
Just... pick a seat...
Any seat.
It's my first day of high school.
I have seven new notebooks, a skirt
I hate and a stomachache.
Hi I'm Heather.
I'm new here.
Are you?
We moved in here Saturday.
-Cool shoes.
-Oh, thanks. I got them at a back to school sale.
I mean, I wanted them in black but
I wear an 8 1/2.
And they were a bit small, so I had
to find 9s. They only had a 9 in pink.
But they look good.
Name.
Name, freshman.
It's for the yearbook.
Melinda Sordino.
The school board decided that Trojans
didn't send a strong message of abstinence.
So now we've become the
Merryweather Hornets.
What are we supposed to cheer? 'We are
the Hornets, the horny horny Hornets!'?
Got a hall pass, young lady?
Come here.
Hustle, young lady!
Seven minutes past grace period.
Name.
Don't make this difficult.
Name!
Melinda Sordino.
-Grade?
-Ninth.
That's one demerit, Sordino.
Get to class.
Biology ... is the study of ...
Is the study of ... good ...
Good
Oh hello, dear. Do you have a late pass?
It is the first day. Just
don't make it a habit of it.
-And your name is?
-Melinda Sordino.
Ok, your lab partner must
be ... uh, let's see ...
Oh, excellent!
And your name is?
Dave Petrakis.
My English teacher has no face.
I call her "Hair Woman".
Grada Walkancros... from Belgium.
We're so pleased to
have you here in America.
She doesn't speak English.
-Heather Billings.
-Here.
Rachel Bruin.
-Rochelle.
Ah, Rochelle. Rochelle.
Rachel Bruin.
My ex-best friend.
Oh, and class? Please tell me if I
pronounce your surname wrong or
if you have a preferred nickname.
Hello? Hold the line, we'll
try to find your location.
-Rachel, wait ...
-Are you nuts?
Where's Melinda?
I don't care!
Hi everybody.
Uh, welcome to Art.
The only class that will
teach you how to survive.
This is where you
can find your soul.
If you dare.
Don't ask me to show you
how to draw a face.
Ask me to help
you find the wind.
Good! Right, that's good! Can
you tell me what you're feeling?
Right now.
Ok, can anybody tell me what
they're actually feeling right now?
Does Algebra move you to tears?
Are numbers and words more
important than images?
Can anybody tell me what this is?
A-globe?
A-globe.
What are you guys 13, 14? You've
already let them beat the creativity out of you?
It's ok.
I used to let my daughters kick this around
my studio when it was too wet to play outside.
And one day, Jennie
put her foot right through Texas and
the entire United States,
crumbled into the sea. See?
I mean, you could, you could, ahem,
paint a wet muzzled dog chewing Alaska, right?
I mean, the possibilities are endless.
It's almost too much, but uh, you
all are important enough to give it to. So.
Alright, so um, here you go.
In here is a piece of paper.
Great. And on that piece of paper
is a word.
You're gonna spend the rest of the year
turning that object into art.
-Mr Freeman.
-Mm-hmm?
When I was little, I was really scared of clowns and I
don't want to relapse and have to go back into therapy.
Oh, yeah well fear is a
great place to begin art.
Hey! Whoa! You just chose your
destiny. You can't change that.
I learned how to draw a tree
in like the second grade.
Oh, really?
Well, you gonna show me?
It's ok, I won't grade you.
No commentary, please.
That's a pretty good start.
Let's see what it looks like at
the end of the year, huh?
It's Melinda Sordino.
Called the cops. You know,
and busted everyone...
You know, my buddy? You
know Jeff, his brother?
See you tomorrow!
Are you sick?
How was your first day?
-Fine.
-Look what I got at the store.
You don't like it, we can
always get store credit.
Where's the sweater?
I thought you said it was returnable.
No, I got it on sale.
Don't wear it, don't wear it. It's fine.
Well then why'd you say that it...
All that crap you hear on tv about
communication and expressing feelings
is a lie.
No one really cares
what you have to say.
So here's the plan. We join
But not like Latin club. Cool stuff.
What do you want to join? Hey, maybe we
can tutor kids at the elementary school.
What about your friends from
last year? Don't you know Nicole?
I wonder how long it
would take for anyone to notice
if I just stopped talking.
I was into bowling
back in La Joya. That was fun.
But the bowling club here does seem
like it really attracts the right people.
Hanging back is a very common mistake most ninth
graders make. I mean you shouldn't be intimidated.
Wait, are you getting
darker than me? Hold on.
-Oh man. You need a mouthguard.
-Gym should be illegal.
It's humiliating.
Hey, do you know the Martha clan? They do all these
cool projects like feeding the homeless and stuff.
Oh and they dress in different color schemes depending
on the season. I mean, I'm not good in fall tones.
And I said I can wear beige
instead of orange, but you know.
Oh no, Sordino.
Front row.
I got my eye on you.
We're studying American history
for the ninth time in nine years.
Every year they say we're going
to get right up to the present
but we always get stuck in the
industrial revolution.
My family ...
has been in this country ...
for over 200 years.
We built this place.
We fought in every war.
From the first one to the last one.
We paid our taxes.
They voted.
So, tell me why my
son can't get a job.
Reverse discrimination.
He wanted to be a firefighter.
Went up for the job
but he didn't get it.
What I'm suggesting here is maybe if we
had closed our borders
in 1900, then real Americans
would get the jobs they deserve.
Young lady.
Um, I think that we're all foreigners, and should
just give the country back to the Native Americans.
Now we have a debate, don't we?
Native Americans.
Maybe your son didn't get the
job because he wasn't good enough.
-Or maybe he's lazy... or maybe the guy was just better...
-Watch your mouth, mister.
That's my son you're talking about.
You know what? That's enough debate.
Everybody take out your book.
Mr. Petrakis, please take your seat.
If the class is debating, than any student
has a right to say what's on his mind.
I decide who talks
in here, Mr. Petrakis.
You opened a debate. You can't close it just
because it's not going your way.
-Watch me! Take your seat, Mr. Petrakis.
-The constitution does not recognize different
levels of citizenship based
upon the time spent in the country.
As a citizen and a student, I'm
protesting the tone of this lesson
as racist,
intolerant, and xenophobic.
Sit your butt in that chair,
Mr. Petrakis. And watch your mouth.
I tried to get this debate going and, uh, you
people turn it into a race thing.
Sit down, Mr. Petrakis, or
you're gonna go down to the principal's office.
Dave Petrakis is my new hero.
Hey, Rach.
How's it going?
Good.
I know.
Look ...
I was wondering if we could ...
Boni va cheri.
"Exchange students are
ruining our country. "
-Sordino.
-Yo, fresh meat.
-What?
-Can't I say hello?
I'm sorry, it's just you can't
be standing here.
Alone.
You're just too pretty.
I'm not alone.
My friends are inside.
Well... would you like
to go dance with me?
Sure.
There is no point
talking to my ex-friends.
Our clan "The Plain Janes"
has been absorbed by rival groups.
Nicole hangs out with the jocks.
Rachel went all "Euro".
Ivy straddles two crowds --
the Goths and "The Marthas".
And then there's me ...
I'm clanless.
Nice, Petrakis.
Look live, Missy.
It's impossible to listen to Miss Kane. Her
voice sounds like an engine that won't turn over.
-Plus she laughs at her own jokes.
-Alright, we're beginning our unit on
genetics and reproduction.
In case you thought your
genes came from JC Penny...
Ah, oh no, these genes are
actually different.
Now you'll want to cut your
apples into four...
boys, I'm going to take points off your grade...
What are you doing?
We need that.
Heather has found a clan:
"The Marthas".
Very Connecticut,
very prep.
I suspect money changed hands.
I like your costume.
So, what are you guys?
-Ever heard of the 1920s?
-We're flappers at a speakeasy.
Andy Evans.
Em, I think he's looking for you. Fact,
he called her last night.
Fact, he's gorgeous.
Hey, could you grab me an iced tea?
-Hello, ladies.
-Hey, what's up?
-Did you bring me a taco?
-Of course.
Just kidding.
No, take it.
-What is that?
-Just kidding.
-Did you bring my barrette?
-Ah, you know, I forgot it.
Maybe you should wear it to the house.
-I think that looks really sexy on you.
-Thank you.
-What time do your parents come home tonight?
Around 6.
-What's with her?
-She's a freak who needs chapstick.
-... and a life.
-I don't want her eating with us anymore.
-Nice, Siobhan.
What, we're not social workers.
-The girl has problems.
-Yeah, who doesn't?
Hey, you're the tree.
You can eat lunch in here, if you want.
It is against school rules, but
I'm kind of a rebel, so...
Here you go.
That's not a placemat. Ok, the rule is that if
you're gonna be in here, you got to be working. So.
Choose your weapon.
Do something, anything.
Hey, does this inspire you?
No?
So you going trick-or-treating tonight?
No.
Ah, you don't like candy?
-I'm too old.
-Oh, right.
Yeah, I got kids, so ...
Guess I never get
too old, right?
-Last year we were witches.
-Who's "we"?
My ex-best friends.
What are you doing?
No.
You gotta give things a chance.
Close your eyes.
Just do it.
I'm the teacher.
Can you picture a tree?
Any tree.
There it is.
It's burned in your retina.
You got it.
Do it.
Dave Petrakis invited me
over to do lab homework.
I said no.
No, thanks.
I just... I can't.
Oh, my God.
I'm turning
into "Hair Woman".
Oh, damn!
The turkey.
-Maybe we should just get pizza.
-No.
It's Thanksgiving.
It just needs to thaw.
How's she doing?
It's Thanksgiving.
Hey, you wanna go for doughnuts?
How's school?
Fine.
You're boiling it?
It's too big to
put in the microwave.
He doesn't think it's gonna thaw.
No! Not you, Ted.
-We can wash it.
-Tell Julie to restock the faux bells and to take
the sign out of the window, alright?
-No, they're in a green box by the register...
-Sorry.
Mel, see if there's any potatoes
over there.
Can we just forget it?
You know, I've got a
crisis down at the store.
We'll go out to dinner, ok?
My treat.
Hey, Dan, good stuff.
Yes, you are on fire, Melinda!
Yes! You are the bird.
Hey, sacrifice yourself to
abandon family values
and canned yams.
This is wonderful!
But keep thinking tree.
You know what I'm thinking?
More glue.
F minus.
Just kidding.
Where's the tree?
It's firewood.
Get it?
You can do better than that.
It's scary! Like in a weird way.
Not clown-scary.
How do I say this?
It's like you don't want
to look at it for too long.
Excellent.
This is excellent.
What does this say to you?
Do you want me to tell you what I see?
Alright.
I see a girl caught in the
remains of a holiday gone bad.
Her flesh, picked off, day after day.
The palm tree, might be like a broken dream.
I don't know, it definitely has meaning.
A lot of pain.
That's good.
Good job, Mel.
There is no kissing in the hallway.
Hey, come to the pep rally with me.
I brought extra pompoms. Come on!
Hey! I know these guys.
They're on the newspaper.
This is Melinda Sordino. She was
very nice to me when I first got here.
-You're Melinda Sordino?
-Yeah.
Aren't you the one who called
the cops at Carl Ryder's party?
My brother was arrested at that
party. Got fired because of it.
I cannot believe.
What?
-Never mind.
-What?
-Never mind.
-What? You can't say 'never mind'!
Let's go for a drive.
Come on, let's go.
Maybe I should tell my friends!
Tell your friends
you're with me.
-Alright?
-Yeah.
You want to?
Wanna what?
Let me out. Let me talk to my friends.
No.
Stop.
No.
No.
No, no, no.
No, it's alright. It's alright.
It's alright.
It's over now, okay.
Okay.
The bogeyman is gone. He went right
out that way. It's okay. You ok now?
No.
Oh, honey.
I know that it's been
a rough year for you.
I do.
I really thought you and Rachel
were gonna patch things up.
You know, sometimes, people just ...
suck.
But now, you have got to pull yourself
up by the bootstraps and get on with it.
You're not even going to remember
any of this in 5 years. I swear.
Come on. I'll make it home early tonight.
Can rent a movie.
Yeah?
Today is career day.
Am I: a) A helper b) A doer
c) A planner d) A dreamer?
Every word Hawthorne wrote; every comma, every
paragraph break, these were done on purpose.
It is our job to try and
figure out what he's really trying to say.
Why couldn't he just say what he meant?
Would they pin a scarlet letter on his chest?
-As for straightforward...
-The house ...
with the chunks of glass in its walls...
Is a symbol of what?
It would reflect, sparkle.
Come on, people ...
The house symbolizes?
Yes.
How do you know it's what he meant to say?
I mean, you could just make all that up.
It's just a story.
This is Hawthorne.
One of America's greatest novelists.
And not that makes any difference...
but I wrote my
dissertation on Hawthorne.
Fine, but ...
I thought we were all supposed to have opinions
here. I mean, it's a good story, especially ...
when Hester and that guy fall in love.
But I don't really believe in symbolism.
I mean, you can just make all that up.
Alright, class.
I want you all to write a 500 word essay...
on symbolism.
And then ...
Poor "Hair Woman".
turn it in.
I hope they send her to a conference or something.
I'm ready to help pay for a sub.
I guess you all must be bad students.
Because, apparently, I gave away too many
A's last trimester.
Has anybody in here
learned anything?
They cut my budget in half because
art isn't important, see.
And then I get reamed
for grade inflation?
Sorry.
Go back to work.
Mr. Freeman.
Ivy.
Will you take her to the nurse, please?
Hold it up.
-You okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine.
Ivy's being nice.
Say something.
My throat is dry.
It hurts.
This one is the one I think I'm gonna use.
It's like ... Really, just like ...
Heather landed a modeling job
at a department store in the mall.
It's paying off in major "Martha" points.
It is so disgusting, I don't know why. And then
like that one? It just was like, what was I thinking?
You want to start?
Now remember, we're just taking a peek
inside today. Don't remove anything.
It's very hard to put it back.
Are you sure you want to do?
Do you want me to do?
No, um, I got it.
It's one clean line down the middle.
Like a zipper.
Melinda.
Hello?
Can you count backwards from 10?
Who is the President of the United States?
Come on, open your eyes.
Oh my gosh.
Dave, don't hit her!
It's what you're supposed to do.
My Dad's a doctor.
Melinda.
Who is the governor of Texas?
It's beautiful.
You can't go wrong with the classic "V".
Wow, this is great! You shouldn't
have spent so much money though.
It's ok, I wanted to.
That way you won't bleed all
over the bathroom floor, honey.
And these are for you.
Open the big one first.
It's for your room.
It'll help you fall asleep.
Oh, we noticed you were
drawing, so ...
I hope we got the right kind.
You know this thing has a sleep alarm.
-I don't know what quadra surf means?
What do you think it is?
-I think it means you surf multiple quads.
Headphone jack.
Front and rear a/v jacks.
Is it 19 inches across
or high?
It's 19 all the way around.
I hate winter.
I've lived in the Midwest my
whole life and I hate winter.
It starts too early and
it ends too late.
Why doesn't everyone
just move to Florida?
Attention Merry Weather students:
The final tally is in.
Bees: 35, Icebergs: 17.
Hilltopers: 6, Wombats: 84.
We will now be the home of:
"The Merry Weather Wombats."
What in the world is a Wombat?
For those of you who didn't vote, maybe you've
learned a valuable lesson today about democracy.
Oh hey, Melinda.
Can we have a heart to heart at lunch?
It's kind of important.
-Yeah, sure.
-Okay, great.
This is really awkward.
No matter what ...
Oh, I don't want to say that.
I mean, we kind of paired up
at the beginning of school.
When I was new and
didn't know anyone.
And that was really, really sweet of you.
But ...
I think it's time that we both
admit to each other that
we're just very different people.
I mean, I have my
modeling and I like to shop.
I like to shop.
You don't like anything. You're the
most depressed person I've ever met
And excuse me for saying this, but ...
I think you need
professional help.
So, you're blowing me off because
I'm a little depressed?
Once you get through this 'life sucks' phase,
I'm sure lots of people will
want to be your friend.
But for right now, I don't think
we should have lunch together.
Look, I need to be alone. And I'm
glad you're so enthusiastic, but ...
I just need some space.
-Rise and shine, Melinda.
-Your report card came this morning.
I'm only going to say this once.
You gotta get those grades up.
-Way up.
-I'll handle this, alright?
Honey, we just want you to
do your best, and we know that
your best is a lot better
than this, okay?
What happened with social studies?
This Mr. Neck gave you a "D".
We want you to ask
Neck how you can raise your grade.
This is not gonna look good on your
college application, sweetie.
-I had to go to state.
-She knows.
You'll go today,
won't you, honey?
Excuse me, sir.
I was wondering if ...
I was ...
-Come on, Sordino, spit it out.
You have to learn to annunciate,
or else no one will listen.
I was wondering if there was any
way I could raise my grade?
Parents got the report card, huh?
No, I just wanted to.
Why I should give
you that chance?
Everyone deserves
a second chance.
I mean, isn't that what Jesus said?
Are you being smart with me?
Ok, I'm feeling generous, just because I don't
want to have to see your face in summer school.
Write me a report on a
cultural influence at the turn of the century.
And it better be good.
It will be.
I'll write about the Suffragettes.
Before they came along,
women were treated like dogs.
To get credit, you have to
deliver it orally.
Tomorrow, at the beginning of class.
-Can you help me with something?
-Yeah, sure. What's up?
Sordino?
-Mr. Patrucus.
-The Suffragettes fought for their right to speak.
They were attacked, arrested
and thrown in jail for daring to do
what they wanted to do.
Like them, Melinda is willing to
stand up for what she believes.
That no one should be
forced to give speeches.
-What is this?
-Melinda had to deliver her report ...
to the class as part of the assignment.
She made copies everyone can read.
Oh no you don't.
When I say oral, I mean
oral. Now you, sit down!
And you, read that report.
Open your mouth, Sordino.
Open your damn mouth.
I am so sick of your attitude.
I forgot the Suffragettes
were hauled off to jail.
Duh.
Well ..
Oh, for the love of God,
open your mouth, Melinda.
-This is childish, honey.
-I don't know why she's doing this to us.
We're not ganging up on you,
we're here to help.
Let's start with grades.
-This isn't what we expect of you, Melissa.
-Melinda.
Last year
you were a straight B student.
No behavioral
problems, a few absences.
What you have to say?
She's mute. She's mute.
She's not saying anything.
I think that we need to explore
the family dynamics at play.
All I know is, last year I had a
sweet, loving little girl, and now she's
flushing her grades down the toilet.
What have you folks done to her? I play
golf with the school board president.
-Did you know that? Did you know that?
-Nobody cares who you play golf with.
Can I just remind everyone
that we need to, number one: reassure
number two:
stay open,
and number three:
don't judge.
How old are you?
Listen.
The Suffragettes were all about speaking up.
You can't speak up for your rights
and be silent.
I thought what you did
was cool ...
but you can't make a difference
unless you speak up.
Do you lecture all
your friends like this?
Only the ones I like.
Gotta go.
Wow! Melinda, you look pretty.
"Thanks for understanding.
You the sweetest! Heather. "
Hi, class.
Sorry I'm late. I was... delayed.
There was an accident
and I had to catch a ride.
Andy.
Good.
That's nice.
You need to visit the mind
of "The Great One".
Picasso.
Picasso.
Who saw the truth.
Who painted the truth.
And ripped it from the earth...
With two angry hands.
Excuse me.
It's "Night in Venice".
This is the color of
an accountant's soul.
A love rejected.
This... I once ...
grew mold on an orange
this color when I was living in Boston.
and uh ...
These are various memories
of the school board.
See uh, if something's eating at you, you
gotta find a way to use it.
It's kind of
dark in here.
Have you seen Rochelle?
Bruin?
She was supposed to meet me.
Hello?
Anybody home?
Are you deaf?
I was just thinking that ...
Andy, I've been looking
for you for like half an hour.
-Rochelle.
-I've been wandering up and down the halls ...
-I was just asking your friend where you were.
-She's not my friend.
-I thought she was your friend, alright?
-No, she's not.
-Why were you asking her?
-I've been looking for you.
Why didn't you wait ...
Just shut up, alright?
I was looking for you, alright?
-Andy.
-It is Valentine's Day. Okay?
It's time for a mental health day.
So conjugate this:
I cut class, you cut
class, he/she/it cuts class.
I should probably tell someone.
Just anyone.
Get it over with.
Blurt it out.
It's hard to sleep at home.
How long would it take for the nurses
to figure out I don't belong here?
Would they let me
rest for a few days?
It happened.
There's no avoiding it.
No forgetting.
Mellie, there's a friend
here to see you.
I hate being a "Martha".
You were so right not to join.
I mean, all I am was their little slave.
Ok, it was supposed to be me and Megan Shevan
decorating the Holiday Inn for prom,
and now Megan Shevan can't do it.
And I'm totally screwed.
Mel, you have to help me. They have some
sales meeting in there until like 3.
But then, they'll let us start.
I know we can do it.
You are so great.
I owe you big time.
What if I help you
re-decorate your room?
I know, a nice sea foam green.
-No.
-Okay, or something rich, like ...
like, eggplant.
No.
I mean ...
-I won't help you.
-But you have to.
-No, I don't.
-But ...
Why?
Because I was nice to you
in the beginning of school,
when I didn't even
like you.
And you blew me off.
Because you're a
self-centered social-climber.
And you know what?
I know what I want to do to my room.
And it doesn't involve eggplant.
I think you should go.
Why should I worry
about Rachel?
This'll hurt her.
We were best friends
for nine years.
That counts for something.
She's a traitor.
-And a witch.
-She doesn't know what happened.
-She'll hate me.
-She already hates you.
I hope he breaks
her heart.
-Hey.
-Hey.
-Homework?
-Kind of.
I'm going to France this summer
with the International Club.
That's great.
I mean, you always
talked about traveling.
Do you remember when we read "Heidi" and then
we tried to melt the cheese in the fireplace?
So you're going to prom with him?
Yeah.
He's so great.
So awesome, and gorgeous and yummy.
What are you going to do when
he goes to college?
I can't even think about it.
It hurts too much.
He said he'd transfer
somewhere around here.
I'll wait for him.
But you've only been going out
with him for like 2 months.
What do you want, anyway?
I'm just really sorry we
couldn't be friends this year.
-Are you still mad about the party?
-No.
I mean, it was dumb to call the
cops, but we could've just left.
"I was raped."
Oh my God, why didn't you tell me?
When police came, everyone started
freaking out. I got scared.
I walked home.
After that night,
I couldn't tell anyone.
Did you get pregnant?
Did you get AIDS?
-Are you okay?
-Yeah.
I mean, no, I didn't get pregnant.
I'm fine.
Was it someone from the school?
Who was it?
Melinda, tell me.
It was Andy Evans.
What?
I can't believe you!
Liar! You're jealous!
I'm popular ...
and I'm going to Prom.
And now you tell me this?
That's twisted, Melinda.
Seriously. You're sick.
You need help.
Coming?
Hello?
Earth to Rochelle.
Alright. Okay.
What did I do this time?
Tell me.
Remember when you asked me about
Melinda Sordino?
The girl in the art room.
Why did you ask me
if I was friends with her?
Do you know her?
How do you know her?
I was looking for you.
Bitch.
A revolutionary is only as
good as his analysis.
What does that mean?
Melinda.
Better late than never.
Why's a revolutionary only
as good as his or her analysis?
I think you should know what you stand
for, not just what you're against.
We should be able to shout how
things could be better.
That's pretty darn good.
Rochelle, so glad you
could join us.
-I need to talk with you for one second.
-No, let go. Andy get off of me!
-Hey, Dad.
-Hey, stranger.
-What's the occasion?
-I just came from a job interview.
Really, how'd it go?
Good, I think.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
-Dad, that is so great.
Here's what I learned in Bio:
If the seed is planted too deep,
it doesn't warm up in time.
Once the plant surfaces, it sprouts
leaves so it can absorb more sun.
If someone picks the flower, the plant grows
another bloom to produce more seeds.
Melinda.
Will you sign my yearbook?
-I'm not in it.
-Yeah you are.
Right here.
Doesn't really look like you.
It is me.
Hey, uh, do you want to go out for some
Chinese food tonight? A bunch of us are going.
Do you want to come?
Yeah, sure.
Thanks.
So, ah, what are you up to this summer?
I'm going to take an
Art class in the city.
That's cool.
I think I'm going to intern at my Uncle's lab.
It's good experience for Pre-Med.
I forgot something, but
call me about tonight, ok?
Alright.
Definitely check out the
ouiji exhibit at the "ICP".
Hey, Melinda!
-Glad you're here.
-Thanks for everything Mr. F and I really hope I
make enough money so I can
afford one of your paintings.
Yeah, alright, go.
Alright, go on, have fun.
Make the world a better place.
You leaving?
I like to...
I like to swear, play music.
I hate giving grades.
Have a nice life.
I'm here if you want to talk.
Even if I'm not...
here.
Can I show you something?
It's really good.
So, I raped you?
I could have any girl in
this school, I wanted.
Willingly.
Why would I rape you?
You're not even attractive.
You really screwed things
up for me, you know that?
Now you are going to go to every single person
in this school and tell them that you lied.
You are going to tell them!
My eyes!
Get off me!
What's going on in there?
Open this door now!
Come out, Melinda.
It's Melinda Sordino.
-Are you okay?
-What the hell is wrong with you?
Answer me!
Everybody knows what you did.
Say something, asshole!
Please, please.
I can't see!
Please move.
I can't see anything!
I can't open my eyes!
What's going on down there?
What happened?
Melinda?
Dad changed his flight.
He's going to be home
in a few hours.
Why?
I mean, I'm fine.
Really.
I am.
Well you don't have to talk
about it, if you don't want to.
No.
I want to tell you about it.
Last year.
I went to this party at the end of the year...
