Date with Love Page #3

---

Why don't I give you a lift?

How about some music?

Uh, sure.

...showers this weekend.

In entertainment news,

the town is buzzing

with the arrival

of Hollywood star Al...

Maybe not.

I know.

I look vaguely familiar

to you.

You feel like you've seen me

someplace before.

It's funny how I have

that effect on people

everywhere I go.

It's just something

about my face.

Actually...

You have leaves

in your hair.

I was wondering

whether or not

I should tell you

before you get out

of the car.

It's a...

It's a nice face, though.

Thank you.

So you're staying

at the hotel.

What brings you

to town?

Nothing special.

Just visiting.

Where from?

Out of town.

It's beautiful country there.

I'm sorry,

I don't mean to be rude.

It's just been a weird day.

Near-death experience

and all...

Oh, there's my hotel.

Well, thank you for the ride.

Look, I know we started

off on the wrong foot.

Actually, I was off both feet.

Maybe I could make it up

to you,

buy you a cup of coffee

or something?

I know this

quiet little cafe

over on the next block.

You really don't recognize me,

do you?

I don't think

we've met before.

You're definitely somebody

I would have remembered.

Have you ever seen any

of the starlight falls movies?

I don't get

to the movies much,

I don't even own a TV,

but if you recommend them,

I'll check them out.

Are they popular?

Wow, you must've been hiding

under a rock

for the last two years.

Actually, I, um...

I was stationed

in Baghdad.

Army communications

officer.

Got back

a year ago.

I guess I've missed out

on a couple things, huh?

Nothing important.

Where's that cafe?

Thank you.

Here you go.

One decaf

soy vanilla latte.

Thank you.

And...

I brought you this.

Figured

it was the least I can do

after I almost ran you over.

Well, technically,

you didn't do the running over.

Well, Andrea is my student,

so I'm responsible.

We'll call it

an apology cookie.

Actually, I don't, um...

Cookie accepted.

So what were you saying?

Uh...

Anyway, when my dad passed away

a year ago,

my mom was all alone,

and I'd finished my service

and got

an honorable discharge...

Came home and started teaching.

That takes us

up to this afternoon

and the pavement.

How about you?

Um...

Indiana.

That's where I'm from...

Originally.

And now where?

Don't you think

it's just way more interesting

when you don't know everything

about a person?

A woman of mystery.

No, it's just...

These days,

everybody wants to know

everything about everyone.

I don't want

to know about everyone...

But I would like to know

a little bit more about you.

Oh, this is so good.

I can't remember the last time

I had a cookie.

And then I put it

on the Internet

and waited.

I never really thought

she'd say yes...

Oh, no...

And there we have it, folks...

Wow.

Whoa, wha...

That's one way

of getting to know you better.

I... I'm so sorry.

I don't know what came over me.

No, no, no apology necessary.

I've got to go.

Thanks again!

Wait... Alexandra!

Thank you!

Goodbye!

Hey, it's me.

Where have you been?

I have been calling you

for an hour!

Phone died.

Another one?

Mm-hmm.

You missed the kid on TV.

Oh, I saw him.

He was... good.

Yeah, he was.

We should get

some positive bump from that.

Oh, and we have a meeting

with the principal

at the school tomorrow.

I just kissed some guy.

What?

Who?

Mr. Walsh.

Who is Mr. Walsh?

He's a driver's ed teacher.

What are you doing

kissing strange men?

Have you lost

your mind?

He isn't strange.

He's nice.

Handsome too.

I don't care

who or what he is, Alex.

What if he goes to the media?

He won't.

He doesn't even

know who I am.

Does anybody else know

about this little

make-out session of yours?

Calm down.

It was one kiss.

I just did it to distract him.

From what?

David's interview.

It came on the TV at the cafe.

You were at a cafe

with this man?

Yes, and you know what?

It was really nice

spending time with someone

who didn't want

anything from me.

I was just myself again.

Alex, I hope, for your sake,

none of this shows up online.

He wouldn't do

that sort of thing.

He was a real gentleman.

He's not the one

I'm worried about.

Everybody has

a camera, Alex.

You've got to be

more careful.

But nothing happened...

This time.

Alex, this whole project

is about making you look good.

America's sweetheart, remember?

I need you to forget

about this Mr. Walsh, all right?

All right.

Good.

Now, get some rest.

You've got

a big day tomorrow.

You are going back

to high school!

I forgot how much

I hated high school.

Don't think about it

as high school.

Think about it as a Hollywood

public appearance event...

With worse lighting.

All we have to do

is get Mr. Lee to say yes.

How hard can that be?

Good morning.

David here tells me you want

to attend our senior prom

as his date.

With your permission,

of course.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I've thought it over,

and...

I'm all for it!

As far as I'm concerned,

miss Allen,

you are more than welcome here.

I think you'd be

an inspiration to our students.

Hello, everyone.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

Alex and Paige,

this is miss hope.

She's our faculty chair

for the prom committee.

Good morning.

I've just given my permission

for David and Alex

to attend the prom together.

Well, isn't

that exciting!

Well, of course,

we'll have to work out

some logistics.

What with

all the added attention

that this is going to be

bringing to the school,

we certainly don't want

to overshadow the experience

of the event

for the students.

Well, logistics

are my specialty, miss hope.

I'd be more happy

to help in any way I can.

Honestly, I don't want

to be any trouble.

I'm here for David,

so just treat me like you would

any regular student

at the school.

That is a brilliant idea.

What is..?

Being treated

like a regular student.

Mr. Lee,

do you think

it would be possible

for Alex to attend classes

with David?

Alex is very interested

in getting involved

in educational charities,

that sort of thing.

It would be very helpful

if she could get

an inside perspective

while she's here.

I'll tell you what,

miss Allen.

I will make you

an honorary student

for the week.

How about that?

How about that?

What's the idea of

making me attend classes?

That wasn't part

of the deal.

Alex...

You remember

how you always used to tell me

how you never fit in

in high school?

Everybody picked on you.

This is your second chance

to be the coolest kid

in class.

I don't know...

Plus, there are

probably hundreds

of untapped

social media accounts

in this building,

waiting to smile on you.

Do you really think

this is going to work?

Course I do.

I'm also going to set up

a date for you and David

to be seen

at a local hangout.

You can have milkshakes.

You know I don't do dairy.

Alex, you're an actor.

Fake it.

Have a great day!

So, where to first?

My favorite class
