Avalon High

Avalon High (2010)

Ow!

Are you okay, Allie?

I heard a thump.

What are you doing

on the floor?

I guess I fell

out of bed.

Oh. I remember you used to do that

all the time when you were four.

I bet when I was four, I wasn't

dreaming about medieval combat.

I was.

What a surprise.

Well, as long as you're up,

you can unpack.

Sure.

What's the point?

All unpacked, sweetie?

Getting there.

Good.

I see King Arthur

and his Merry Men

have once again

taken over the house.

It was Robin Hood who had

the Merry Men, sweetie.

Arthur had the Knights

of the Round Table.

You know that.

Yes, I do.

How could I not know that, when

it's all you guys talk about?

We're professors of

medieval literature, Allie.

It's our job.

I know, but you guys talk

about King Arthur so much,

I'm starting to

dream about him.

And not like most girls who dream

about knights in shining armor.

Mine have dirt

all over them and BO

and are missing

half their teeth.

You're actually

quite accurate.

During Arthurian times,

dental hygiene

wasn't considered

to be...

Dad! Seriously!

Sorry. Sorry.

Eww.

Here you go.

Thanks.

I don't know why you

guys bother to unpack.

We're just going to move

in six months, right?

Which would be great.

I mean, like

you always say,

who wants to live in one

place their whole life?

What?

Well, it's not going to be

six months this time.

What, one month? Two?

Maybe I should legally

change my name to "New Girl. "

It's three years, Allie.

What?

We're going to be here

for three years.

This place is... special.

We were just offered

contracts at the university.

So, we're staying?

Yes. Now, we know that

three years is a long time...

Wait. I'm going to be at

Avalon High until I graduate

Yes.

And I can try out

for the track team?

And finish a season?

And make actual friends?

Yes.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

My coffee,

my coffee...

Oh, sorry.

Whoo-hoo!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Where are you going?

Morning.

Morning.

After you.

Thanks.

All done?

I'll just...

Bye.

Weird.

Are you nervous?

Mom, it's, like, my

billionth first day of school.

I know.

So, you're nervous.

Of course I'm nervous!

You'll be fine.

You always are.

I'll pick you up

at 3:
00.

Oh.

Actually, make it 5:00.

I'm going out for

track, remember?

Bye, Mom.

Bye, honey.

Marco, why can't you

just steal my lunch money

like every other bully?

I need my locker!

What's wrong with yours?

Well, Miles,

since you asked,

mine's too far

from class.

You don't even

go to class!

Give me the combination.

1-2-3-4-5.

Give it to me,

Preschool,

or I'll put

in the locker.

Wow, nerd in a locker. How original.

We're now living inside

an '80s teen movie.

That's enough, Marco!

Hooray!

If it isn't Will Wagner here

to save the day! My hero.

What are you gonna do, Will, hit me?

You're not worth

the detention.

Just get outta here,

before I change my mind.

Okay.

Whatever.

He can't protect you

24 hours a day.

Oh, wow, you know that

there are 24 hours in a day?

You must be evolving.

Thanks, Will.

I was about to, as they

say, "throw down" with him,

but I thought you might

want to deal with him

yourself,

since he's your brother.

Step-brother.

Hey!

Hey.

Water Fountain Girl!

I guess that's me. Hi.

Hey! I didn't know you

went to Avalon High.

Yeah. I didn't know

you went here either.

Although, technically, I don't

know anyone who goes here.

I'm new.

I mean, my name's not "New," it's Allie.

I'm Will.

There. Now you officially

know one person.

Yep, I'm practically Homecoming Queen.

So, are you on

the track team?

Because of the

running in the park.

Or maybe you just like

running. I love running.

Wow. Did I just say

"running" like four times?

Football, actually.

I'm kind of the quarterback.

Of course you are.

I mean, because you seem

so quarterback-esque.

Hey, sweetie.

Come on, I want to make sure

we sit together in History.

Hi.

Jen, this is Allie.

She's new.

Allie, this is

my girlfriend Jen.

Hi! Nice to meet you!

Yeah, you, too.

There you go. Your friends

have already doubled.

Wait, lipstick.

Will, Jen.

Where were you guys

this morning?

Didn't you get my text?

Five burgers

for five bucks!

Allie, this human garbage

disposal is my best buddy Lance.

Lance, Allie.

Hi.

Hey.

Did you meet Jen?

Jen's the coolest

chick in school.

Yeah.

That she is.

Aw, thanks, guys.

So, what's your

first class?

European History

with Mr. Moore.

Oh, we've got that,

too! Come with us!

Okay, everybody.

Grab a book and a seat.

William.

Rumor has it you're going to

lead Avalon Football to State

for the first time

this year.

Yeah!

That's the plan, sir.

That's my boy.

Class president,

Homecoming King,

straight-A student,

and he's polite.

If only I had an entire

class full of Will Wagners.

I think

I'm going to puke.

What're you looking at?

Here you go.

I'm sorry, is there

a problem, Miss...

Pennington.

Allie Pennington.

Ah!

That explains everything!

Everyone, please welcome

Avalon High's newest student,

Allie Pennington.

That's about all you're gonna get. Yeah.

Allie's parents are professors of

medieval literature at the university,

and they also wrote the textbook

we'll be using this semester,

when we learn about King

Arthur and his court.

Easy A!

Nobody asked you.

Hi. I'm Allie.

No. No, no, no, no, no. Avert your eyes.

Excuse me?

You're making a tactical error of

monumental proportions right now.

By sitting at my desk?

By talking to me.

I mean, come on!

You had a great start.

I saw you talking to Captain

Everything this morning.

You have a chance

to be in the popular group.

Don't mess it up.

I can be friends

with whoever I want.

Including you.

Who said I wanted

to be your friend?

You.

No, I didn't.

Then why are you still

talking to me? But I'm not.

Ah, but by saying you're not

talking to me, you are talking to me.

Check and mate.

Okay, first thing

we're going to do

is to break up into teams

to write research papers.

You'll draw your topics

out of this.

Courtney,

you're with Todd.

The architecture

of Camelot.

Interesting.

Will, you're with Karen.

Can't I be with Jen?

No, Jen is with Lance.

Ah.

How apropos.

The sports

of Camelot.

Jennifer.

The tragedy of Camelot.

Your paper is gonna be

about the love triangle

between King Arthur, his wife Guinevere,

and his best friend, Sir Lancelot.

Ultimately, it destroyed

Arthur and Camelot itself.

Bit of a downer.

Miles, you're with Allie.

I'd rather work alone.

I'd rather be eating

pineapple on a beach in Hawaii,

but that's not going

to happen either.

Fine.

I guess she'll do.

Wow. Thanks.

Pick.

The Order of the Bear.

I've never heard of that.

So much for the easy A.

Ask your parents.

I'm sure they've heard

of the Order.

Miles? Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Just tie your shoes.

They are tied.

Then tie your other shoes.

What are you talking about?

Just tie your shoes, okay?
