- Now I feel like a b*tch.

- No, you didn't know, though.

And that's why I didn't want to, like,

spurt it out and be like, "That's why..."

And blame it on that.

Well, I mean,

it would've helped, you know.

I hate that stuff. I got that for six months

of my life right after it happened.

I hated it. Like, I hated that pity.

So, I'm really not mad.

Like, I'm not lying when I say that.

- Okay, good.

- I'm trying not to hold a grudge.

That's new. Let's just forget about it.

And I really have started that.

Good feeling, huh?

- It's good. I like it.

- Yeah, I know.

I think she is under a lot of stress

about getting into Notre Dame.

It's what's expected of her, you know.

I don't know how many times

I said that to Megan.

I think she does hold a lot of it in, like

a lot of the actual stuff that's important.

I think she's got a barrier up,

but recently it's different.

- Yeah.

- Megan's kind of more open and honest.

Sometimes Megan surprises me.

She'll do something

really sweet or nice.

You know, it's like,

"Wow, this is different."

Where is it?

- That's Loyola.

- Oh, my God.

This is Saint Mary's.

Hey, this is not funny right now!

Do you have the right school?

Thank you. This is what we wanted.

How come I didn't notice

that one was Saint Mary's?

I got in!

I got in!

I got in!

You're not supposed to be crying.

You're supposed to be happy.

Oh, Megan.

- Yeah, I'm happy!

- Okay.

You a**hole!

That's not the way

you talk to your father.

You gave me two fake letters!

Oh, my gosh.

"Congratulations on your acceptance

to Saint Mary's."

- Clarke, so how'd the show go?

- Oh, it was great, it was fun.

That jacket looks a little familiar.

What?

- Is that Mitch's?

- Yeah.

That's what I thought.

That's why I said it looks familiar.

How do you feel about her?

- Hannah?

- Hannah.

- I like her. She's cool.

- Scale from 1 to 10.

I don't know, don't have the number yet.

Just because it's different?

- It is different. I like it.

- It works out better.

Different is good.

You've got to stay clear of the

materialistic b*tches that are your age.

Can't think of any.

Hey, Tigers, I'm Colin.

And I'm Zach, and we have

your Tiger news for you today.

For lunch today we'll be having

chicken tenders, green beans,

peaches and steak hoagie sandwich.

So, now, we're tossing it

over for your sports.

I think that there is a lot of

attention about athletics.

There's a large group of them

that are very stuck-up

and won't even talk to people.

I think a lot of them are hard-working,

good individuals who care

about this school

and want the best for everyone.

Mitch is on there.

Hey, I saw you

on the announcements today.

You were like, "Sports rule. Jocks rule."

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

I didn't mean that.

- I know.

- I really didn't want to be on there.

I just thought

they made you look stuck-up.

I really don't remember any of it.

I don't remember. Never mind.

- Don't be mad.

- I'm not.

It wasn't you,

it was how they put it together.

I wish I wouldn't have said anything.

So, this coming weekend,

party at my house.

Okay.

We're inviting Hannah and Mitch.

Why?

Because I want to see

Mitch and Hannah, like, interact.

I do, too.

It's just funny.

I mean, I think Mitch could get

any girl he wanted.

And he loves to try new things,

like Hannah.

Him and Hannah,

I think it's really cute, you know.

Do I think it's gonna go anywhere?

I don't know.

I can just see Mitch

gives into like peer pressure.

- Yeah. Easily.

- Oh, yeah.

- Oh, well.

- It happens.

All right, who's playing the winners?

Yeah, she's really cool.

- She's cool.

- Okay.

What the heck, Geoff? Oh, my gosh.

- Really? Good word.

- We're having a conversation.

Setting it up, right?

Setting it up.

- Mitch likes it in his butt.

- I love it.

It's not what it looks like.

- I'll do it later.

- All right.

No, like not "it," but...

- Hey, Megan.

- Yeah?

Are Mitch and Hannah dating now?

Oh, Hannah, you're right there.

- Are you two dating now?

- I don't know.

Where are you going?

I was gonna see if you could sneak out.

We could go for a walk.

How you doing?

- Is everyone in the basement?

- Yeah, they're downstairs.

How's it going, Potts?

All right. That could be a tall order.

His dad's home alone,

so he wants us to go.

Yeah.

And I rode with him,

so I don't have my car.

- We're gonna go.

- That sucks.

I wanted to hang out with you tonight.

Me, too.

I'm kind of sad.

- What?

- Nothing.

- You leaving?

- I'm coming back.

All right, we'll see you later.

All right.

- See you, guys.

- See you, dude.

- Taking off, Mitch?

- Yeah, going back to the folks.

Good to see you, home.

See you, Megan. See you.

I'm not gonna sit there and wait

for him to take a shower.

No, in the shower with him.

Mitch is going to IU. He just decided.

- He is definitely going there?

- I should do that.

That'd be good.

I think out of the places

you've been accepted,

IU is the best situation.

And that's the one I least want to go to.

You know where I want to go.

- Yeah. California.

- You're not moving there, Hannah.

As a young 18-year-old girl,

moving out by yourself to a major city,

it scares me.

I'm an adult, though.

I'll be 19 years old.

I can take care of myself.

We told you before,

you're not always going to get

exactly what you want.

You're not special.

- Hey, Tigers, I'm Karla.

- And I'm Alli.

And we have your sports for you today.

The Warsaw Tigers boys' basketball

team will face Columbia City

for the sectional championships

Saturday, April 15th. Be there.

Sectionals is my last chance

for a scholarship.

All my friends are getting into schools.

They already know what they're doing,

know where they're going,

and I have nothing.

I just don't know what to do.

I always thought that

that was the only way

I could get noticed

by college scouts and stuff,

is if I scored a bunch of points, and...

I've always pushed you

towards wanting to score a lot,

probably just overemphasized

the scoring part too much.

But if you can play

with the patience Coach talks about,

you can still turn this year around.

We don't have very many practices left

before the sectional.

Colin, don't shoot it. Pass it out.

We cannot waste any of them.

No. Again.

Come on. Pass it, Colin.

Good. That's the way, Colin.

I want more.

- Yes.

- Yeah.

It has been six years

since Warsaw won a sectional.

I will just tell you this upfront,

there are very few people that think

that the Warsaw Tigers have any shot

of winning this game.

- One, two, three! Tigers!

- Tigers!

- Come on. Let's go, boys!

- Let's go.

Come on, Tigers! Live the dream!

Up she goes, and the tip

controlled by Columbia City.

Outside, Clemens, 10-footer in the lane.

Rolled it. No good.

Columbia City leads 18-11.

Come on, Colin. Step up, son! Step up!

Robbie in the alley-oop to Rucks

threw it behind him,

and it's taken away.
