and compassion won't make the

world a better place to be in?

Tomorrow's not a promise...

but it's a chance.

You just might start a chain reaction.

And what's behind all of this is my faith.

I'm a Christian.

And... I'm not trying to be weird,

or convert anybody or anything like that.

I just wanted to be real with you guys

and let you know who I am.

Jesus gave his life for me...

and I'll give my life to him.

Just wanted to get that out there.

Thank you, Rachel.

Okay, up next...

we have Eric and Dylan.

Let's watch their video

on how they would change the world.

Those bullies are always picking on me,

and I don't like it.

- Can you help?

- Yeah. You know we...

can't have weapons on school grounds.

But if you can get them away,

we'll take them out.

For $2,000, we'll get rid of them.

Permanently.

Do we have to watch this?

No, we don't.

Okay, I think we've seen enough.

That... would make the world

a better place.

Yo. It's... it's Rachel, right?

Yeah. We've only been

in class together all semester.

I know. I'm bad with names.

Hey, I didn't know you were a Christian.

Now you do.

Now everybody does.

Was it too much?

No. That was dope.

I've been a Christian for a while now.

Just started going to FCA, though.

I had no idea.

It took me a little while

to find my place around here,

being the new guy and all,

but... I'm all good now.

I've been here my whole life,

and I'm still working on it.

But what you said

back there was really cool.

You inspired me.

Hey.

Look out for my friend Austin

when I'm not around.

All right.

Got it.

Later, Rachel.

- Later.

- Ah.

I remembered.

What's your problem?

- What?

- I know you did that.

- Did what?

- I didn't stop your stupid Jesus speech.

- You think you're better than us?

- No. No,

- I'm not better than anybody.

- Oh, I know you're not.

I got to get to class.

You're just like all the others.

Compassion. Yeah, that'll work.

So, you gonna go?

Hey, R.J.

So, has, uh...

Alex begged you to take him back yet?

No. He's into Madison's aura now.

Well, good, because...

Look, we always said that

if we never find anyone else,

then... we would go.

I'd be honored.

- Yeah?

- Yes.

- May I have this dance, mademoiselle?

- Yes, you may.

Bethanie!

- Oh! Thanks for coming.

- I wouldn't miss

- helping you get ready for prom.

- Aah!

Look at that dress!

- Oh, it's perfect!

- Let's get you ready.

# Oh, oh, oh... #

# Oh, oh, oh #

# Whoa, oh #

# Oh, oh, oh #

# Whoa, oh #

# Oh, oh, oh #

# Whoa, oh #

# Whoa, oh, oh #

# Whoa, oh, oh... #

# I saw it in your eyes #

# Tonight #

# The disappointment that #

# You tried to hide #

# Wondering if the world you... #

So, I hear you and Kevin

are writing next year's play.

Yeah.

Mrs. Diaz asked us.

You'll do great.

Let me know if you need any help.

Technically, I'm still your mentor.

Always the generous one.

Oh, look.

They're playing our song.

We don't have a song.

I know.

I wish we would have, though.

This one would have been a good one.

# The night is young,

you are mine tonight... #

Hey.

I wish it didn't go down like that.

You know, I... I never meant

to be drawn to her energy.

I couldn't help it.

# Sparkling, sparkling... #

Well, it hurt.

A lot.

I'm trying to forgive you.

I don't know, I...

I think we just view life differently.

Yeah.

Although we can agree on one thing.

All the world's a stage.

And the men and women merely players.

They have their entrances...

and their exits.

Bye, Alex.

Let's get out of here.

- All right.

- Hey, Maddy?

I miss you.

# Shimmering and shining #

# Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh. #

Hey, C. Having fun?

How can you stand talking to her?

I would have made

a voodoo doll or something.

I don't know.

It's... it's hard.

But...

I think forgiveness is one of those things

that can change the world.

Always trying to change the world.

I'm so tired, Rachel.

Of all of this.

Of my life.

I don't even know why I'm here.

Well... usually, you come to these things

to make out with guys, so...

I just want something like you have.

You can handle the pain.

Come over next week,

when we don't have, like,

people dancing around us...

and we'll talk.

We'll talk all about it.

Yeah.

I can't believe I'm saying this.

But maybe I'll even do

that whole breakdown,

breakout, break dancing that you do.

- Break Thru?

- Yeah. Whatever.

Why can't I see my future?

I can't picture myself going to college...

getting married.

Any of it.

Nate...

if God loves me so much,

why does he put me through so much pain?

I mean...

I don't know.

Life's gonna be hard sometimes.

But...

he's there.

You know?

And, uh...

as hard as that is to grasp...

he's in control.

Hey, Austin.

- How's it going?

- Going to chemistry.

You want to do something this weekend?

Uh, with who?

With me. We can go, like,

- see a movie or something Friday.

- We...

we go on a-a real date?

Yeah. Sure.

Have you ever been on one?

Oh, yeah. Lots of them.

I didn't know you were such a player.

With my mom.

Got it.

Well, sorry I'm not your mom.

You're prettier.

You are a player!

See you Friday, Austin.

Yes!

Yo, at least a nine.

I hear you, bro.

Yeah, I see you. I see you.

Got that 2.0, baby!

Yo.

Look, I mean, you keep throwing,

you keep hitting like you do, bro...

Hey, man, just trying to be more like you.

Just make it... make it do

what it do, bro.

Hey-hey-hey, hold up. Is it...

- Andrew?

- Au-Austin.

Right. Austin.

I suck with names.

Give it here, man.

Yeah.

Check this freak out.

Yo, you got a problem?

- Let's bounce.

- Come with?

Sure.

Are you sure about this?

- Yeah, I'm sure.

- All right.

- Here, buddy.

- Yeah.

When the bombs blow up,

it's gonna be awesome.

Boom!

The library will fall on the cafeteria,

and when they all run out,

we'll be waiting outside to take 'em out.

Time for a kick start!

Finally, we are gonna make things right.

We'll be heroes.

Heil Hitler.

I can hear 'em now.

If... only we would

have reached them sooner,

or-or found this tape!

Oh, if only we would

have searched their rooms.

If only we would have asked

the right questions!

Too late.

Am I the only one who sees?

Am I the only one who craves your glory?

All I want is for someone to walk

with me through these halls of tragedy.

There's something in me

that makes me want to cry...

...and I don't even know what it is.

Good morning.

It's Tuesday, April the 20th, 1999.

We have a clear, sunny spring morning

in the Denver metro.

On this day 110 years ago,

Adolf Hitler was born.

- Creepy.

- Also on this day in hist...

Rachel! You're going to be late.

- Love you, Mom. Bye.

- Mm.

Craig! Come on, let's go!

I love you, too.

Come on!

I'm coming.

Finally. How's your hair?

Perfect.

No spots.

Now we have to park

across the street again.

Sorry.

Why do you wear this anyway?

- Those white hats are bullies.

- Well, I'm not one.

I know. I just don't want
