High School Possession

[school bell ringing]

Keep hearing those

voices in my head

Haunted voices in my head

These voices keep

swimming around my head

They're haunting me

[rap]

[whistle blows]

- Ah!

- [whistles]

It's all right, Erin!

[phone chimes]

That's okay, that's okay, all right?

- Okay!

- Come on Coach, they need me out there.

Hey, it's not my fault you skipped

class on Tuesday and Wednesday.

That was a family thing.

It won't happen again.

Yeah, just like last time.

Keep handing off like that,

they'll give you a green jersey!

All right, hey, go in for Erin.

Hey. Don't make me regret this.

All right, Chloe.

Hey, yellow!

- Play on.

- Are you kidding?

That b*tch almost took my head off!

Another word, I'm gonna card you.

Come on! The girl hit her!

Oh, you wanna fight dirty, huh?

- [crowd gasps]

- [whistle blows]

You're a b*tch!

- No, stop!

- [whistle blows]

Number 16 is ejected!

Oh, okay, so that was dirty?

Are you blind or just stupid?

Leave the field!

Chloe, what the hell's gotten into you?

- Oh, come on! She deserved it.

- Yeah, well, hit the showers.

- But the game's not over yet.

- It is for you. Now go.

Chloe.

Chloe! Hey, wait!

Hey, it was just one game.

No, that was USC out there today!

It's all over now.

I'm really sorry.

Hey, I'll call you later, okay?

[locker door slams]

Hello?

[door creaks, closes]

Hello?

Hello?

[shower running]

[voice whispers]

All right, whoever you are,

you have picked the wrong day!

Hello?

What the hell!

You can't just sneak

up on people like that!

[class bell ringing]

You didn't see what happened.

The other girl started it.

So is it true about her parents?

I mean are they really getting a divorce?

It was one fight.

Her dad's just gonna stay

in a hotel for a few days.

Same thing happened with my

dad. And it's been three years.

What? I'm just saying.

Maybe I uh, I should assign

you an article on her.

Hasn't she had enough

attention for one day?

I just think people should go easy on her.

I'll see you guys later, okay?

Hey, could you get me a statement?

Maybe.

- Maybe?

- We'll see.

Hey, how you holding up?

Been better. Like when my appendix burst,

and I was in the hospital for three weeks.

Well, have you begged your

coach for forgiveness yet?

Burdette? He probably just

cost me a scholarship to USC.

And now Bonnie's gotta come

talk to Principal Andrews

about my sunny disposition.

Hey, you wanna go to dinner after?

Good old Bonnie's been letting

me get away with anything.

One of the weird perks

to having my dad ditch us.

Oh. Can we rain check?

I'm on assignment tonight.

Oh, let me guess.

Mase assigned you another boring

"get to know the group" expose.

What merry band of outcasts

are you following this time?

Um...

Lauren!

- We're still on for 7:00, right?

- Yes. I'll see you there.

Chloe, I heard about what

happened. Is everything okay?

Me? Oh, yeah, Everything is just... peachy.

Remember, the Lord is

our refuge and strength,

an ever-present help in times of trouble.

Aww! You know, I think I have

that on a fortune cookie at home.

And she's funny.

See you at 7:
00?

I'll be there.

Come on, Brad.

There they go, one happy flock.

So that's your assignment?

Olivia Marks and The Chosen?

You know, I might actually be

having a better day than you.

Mase wants to make sure that

everybody gets their due.

Oh, speaking of which,

he asked me to get a statement from you.

Do you think that maybe he keeps

assigning you articles to...

you know.

You know what?

Keep you close.

He is the editor of the school paper.

That's his job. We're friends.

Uh-huh.

- See you later.

- Hey, be careful.

Don't get too close to The Chosen.

I hear virginity is contagious.

Stop it!

But that's not what happened!

I've known Coach Burdette for seven years.

He's never lied to me.

Maybe he's just so good

at it, you didn't notice.

- Chloe!

- Hey! You weren't there either.

As usual.

You know how hard I've been working lately.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it.

I'm sorry. We've had a few bumps at home.

I have thoroughly

investigated the incident,

and I've decided to uphold

Coach Burdette's decision

to remove you from the soccer team.

What? But that's crazy!

I'm supposed to play college soccer.

This will ruin everything.

And you can still play college soccer.

You're just done playing here.

Please, just...

tell her how you caught

Dad cheating on you...

and how much that screwed me up. Please.

You should know that

your daughter's behavior

at this school has become unacceptable.

She's missing classes,

failing to turn in assignments.

All right, what assignment?

The book report in Mr. Wright's.

No, I turned that in. I told

him he must have lost it.

If my daughter said she

turned it in, she turned it in.

Ultimately it's my responsibility

to do what I feel is best for Chloe

as well as the rest of the student body.

I'm sorry.

[voice whispers]

Is someone there?

[voice whispers]

Who said that?

[whispering continues]

Hello?

Chloe.

There's no one there.

Come on.

- Is it true?

- Is what true?

Skipping class, not

turning in your homework.

For the hundredth time, I turned that in.

I even told him I would do it again.

God. Nobody believes me.

Dr. Chandy told me to expect this:

the anger, the rebellion.

I feel like you talk to

your damn psychiatrist

more than you talk to me.

I want to talk to you about your father.

I don't know what to say.

There's no playbook that

tells me how I should...

I didn't get a playbook either.

So let's figure it out together.

This isn't a movie, Mom. It's

more complicated than that.

We can't just hug it

out and have a good cry

and eat some ice cream and then move on.

It doesn't have to be complicated.

I love you.

I hate myself.

I hate my life.

So glad you could make it.

- Long time ago, huh?

- Yeah.

Yeah, we've both changed

so much since then.

Shall we?

Yeah.

I'd like you to meet Reverend Young.

Oh, hi. You must be Lauren.

I've heard so much about you.

Nice to meet you.

So, Olivia tells me you're

with the student paper.

I was just hoping, you know, to get a feel

for what the whole

youth group is all about.

Yeah, sure, have a seat.

We were just going over tonight's agenda.

Great. You don't mind if I...

Oh, no, of course not.

So have you met everyone here?

- Yeah. Hey, again, everyone.

- Hi.

Great. Let's get started.

So this summer, I stayed with a host family

on a farm in Porto Cortez

for about 4 1/2 weeks.

That is why I've decided after

college to take a year off

and go back to Honduras on a youth mission.

It's one way that I know that I can

truly make a difference in the eyes of God.

- That is so wonderful.

- Thank you.

Lauren, do you have a story

of faith you'd like to share?

Oh, um...

maybe next time.

- Lauren used to be a member.

- Oh, really?

Yeah. It was a really long time ago.

Well, you know the door's always open here.

All you have to do is
