Be Somebody Page #4

Yeah, next.

Okay, here's the big one.

It's the final question.

"What is Jordan Jaye's favorite movie?"

Is it A, The Avengers,

B, Maze Runner, or C, The Notebook.

I'm gonna have to go

with D, none of the above.

Sorry, that's not an option. Try again.

Please tell me it's not C.

I can't do that.

Wow.

So according to the Jordan Jaye

compatibility quiz, you are...

"Strangers in the night.

"You have nothing in common."

- Is that what it says?

- Yeah.

What are the other choices?

"Facebook friends,"

and "Match made in heaven."

Yeah, I feel dirty.

You're right, though,

they know nothing about you.

Told you.

- What?

- No!

- What?

- Get under the table.

- What was that for?

- Do it! Now!

- What are you... What, now?

- Yes!

God!

What is your problem?

Nothing.

Really? Then can you please

stop staring at me and my friends

with your judgy look all over your face?

Don't flatter yourself.

What are you doing here, Jessica?

You don't own the place, Emily.

Well, no, but I didn't think

you came here anymore.

Why wouldn't I come here? It's adorable.

I don't know, it's not

the popular place to hang out.

There's no one to show off to.

Thought that's all that mattered to you.

You are pathetic.

Sitting there, thinking that you are just

so much better than everyone else.

Well, at least I don't pretend

to be someone I'm not.

Well, at least people know

I actually exist.

God, do you really think

that you're gonna just go to New York

and be this, like, great artist?

'Cause that's hilarious.

Hilarious. Because you're a nobody.

And you will be a nobody

no matter where you go.

So I'm gonna come here whenever I want,

and if you don't like it,

how about you go find

somewhere else to judge people from?

Okay.

Yeah. Lot of calories

on that table, Emily.

Lot of calories.

Okay, she's gone. Get up.

Friend of yours?

Yeah, believe it or not, she used to be.

Gosh.

So what's with all the hostility, then?

She wanted to be popular.

I didn't care. She changed,

wanted everyone else to like her,

and when I didn't, she dropped me.

Now I get why you want to

get out of here so bad.

Yeah. You know what?

Let's get you out of here

before someone recognizes you.

Maybe there's like

a back door or something.

Or, we could just do this.

What are you doing?

I got this. I got this.

Hi. I'm Jordan Jaye.

Yeah, I know.

Great. That'll save us some time.

Okay, so here's the thing.

I happened to see some of

Emily's artwork on Instagram,

and I was just blown away.

You don't see that type of talent

every day, am I right?

Of course I'm right.

Anyway, I came here

hoping to convince her to, you know,

design my next album cover.

But apparently, she's not a fan.

Doesn't want to

"compromise her artistic integrity."

But, you being a friend of hers,

I was hoping you might

want to help convince her.

What do you say?

Can I see that? Thank you.

Wouldn't want to be getting sued, huh?

Come on, we're leaving.

What? What?

Come on, I was making a friend.

Was that... Why was he... That was...

What the heck were you thinking?

What? She deserved it.

I thought you wanted

to keep a low profile.

Now everyone's gonna know you're here.

Oh, come on. Who's gonna believe her?

And if they do,

I'll be long gone by then, relax.

You're... You're unbelievable.

Come on. You're welcome.

And besides, don't listen to her.

Come on, your stuff is great.

More people need to see it. Not someday,

not in college, right here, right now.

Let's tag the school tonight.

What?

No! No, I'm not gonna

break into my own school.

Come on, come on.

Let's make 'em eat their words.

You... You are crazy.

Just crazy enough.

Come on.

How would we even get in?

I'll take care of it.

What if we get caught?

We won't get caught.

Come on, live a little.

Isn't that what art's all about?

Real life, real emotions.

Well, this is it.

Come on, let's be in this moment.

What do you say?

Okay, we're gonna need supplies.

Great, there you go. There you go.

Look for spray paint.

Gotcha.

Yeah, it would look great.

This would be a good idea.

Oh, yeah.

- So we don't die.

- Good thinking. I think so.

They saw me.

Come on, let's go.

So, your parents aren't around much, huh?

No. Not really.

That a good thing or a bad thing?

Neither. I don't know.

They're not bad parents,

they're just busy.

Must be nice. My mom is always around.

Why?

She's my manager.

Like a mom-ager?

Exactly.

I don't know.

Sometimes I wish she was just my mom.

She push you a lot?

Yeah, but it's 'cause she thinks I want it.

You don't? Hold on.

What?

I think my parents are home.

Okay, just get in the house.

I'll... Dang it.

There's that...

Hi.

- Hey, Em.

- Oh, hi, sweetie.

What are you guys doing home?

We're making dinner.

We're gonna sit down

and eat together as a family.

Like tonight?

Yes, tonight.

Your father and I talked about what you

said earlier, and you're right.

Yeah.

We should have more time together,

away from phones and work.

That's great, but could we maybe

do this like, tomorrow night?

I thought that...

Oh, it's just...

What, do you have plans?

Well...

Hello.

Hi, Mr. Lowe. I've heard a lot about you.

I'm Jay. I'm a friend of Emily's.

Emily. Your...

Hey, Jay.

Hi, Emily.

Oh, thank you.

As I was saying, me and Jay were

gonna hang out for a bit tonight, so...

Yeah, she was helping me out

with art class.

Richard, who's at the...

Oh, hello.

Hi.

Honey, this is Jay.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, too.

Anyway, Jay, my parents wanted

to have dinner tonight, so...

We didn't know that you had plans.

- Well...

- Why don't you join us for dinner?

- Mom. No, he doesn't...

- I'd love to.

Have a bite,

and then you guys can take off.

Okay. Sure.

So, are you... You two...

- No. No.

- Dad, no. That's ridiculous.

- Just checking.

- Yeah.

Yeah. Okay.

Richard, why don't

we go get dinner started?

What are you thinking?

What? It's just dinner.

What if they recognize you?

They won't.

You look very familiar.

Maybe you saw him at my school.

Maybe.

I get that a lot. I kind of have that face.

The food is amazing, by the way.

You guys are really good cooks.

Well, thank you, Jay.

We don't get a chance to very often,

but hopefully that's gonna change.

- So you two go to the same school?

- Yeah.

Yep. Same school. We share art

class together. She's really good.

Are you into

the same kind of art as Emily?

Oh, no. I'm nowhere near as good as her.

She's really talented.

She could be the next Banksy.

Who?

Banksy.

He's a street artist who puts art

and stuff up on buildings, public buildings.

Public buildings? Illegally, I'm assuming.

Well, yeah, but most people would

kill to have him paint on their building.

I mean, he's famous.

Does gallery shows, sells tons at auction,

even has a documentary written about him.

It was actually nominated for an Oscar.

Oh, really?

Yeah. He's a celebrity.

And the best thing about his work
