Invisible Sister Page #3

And I don't know what to do or

if we have enough decorations.

Please, just tell me

everything's gonna be okay.

That actually

sounds awful Nikki,

but I would just cancel.

Are you okay?

Uh, I am fine. I just have a

little neck twitch this morning,

but it is okay.

Molls, you're here.

But I thought you were sick.

- She got better.

- Hey, that's great!

- Give the Coug some sugar.

- No. No, that is eww.

Um, I am very contagious.

So I will see you around. Bye.

Molls?

Did I do something wrong?

Um, no, no.

It's-It's my disease.

Hey, George.

You're not at school?

No. I'm-I'm really sick.

Your sister's here.

She's like some freaky carnival

milkmaid Zorro.

Hey, Molly!

Uh, yeah. Yep.

She is Mardi Gras Dorothy.

She looks totally smokin'.

What? Eww.

George, can you please just cover

for me today in Perkins' class?

You got it.

All right, Molly, we have

to go get to the lab.

No. First period is starting.

I can't be late.

And what class is it, Molly?

Intro to Conformity?

Intro to Geometry, room 42.

Come on.

C-minus?

Molly, if you needed help with line

segments, you could've just asked.

Right, because

you're always so...

warm and supportive.

Okay. I have to go

get to study hall

so I can get a big

compound microscope

and figure this whole thing out.

Actually, I'll grab it for you.

You have to get to Pep Circle.

Pep what?

That was weird.

A thing we do on game days.

Just bonding and trust-building.

It's a pre-game ritual...

that you are leading.

Trust!

Teamwork! Fellowship! Pride!

A team united can't be denied!

Whoo!

Who puts the pep in Pep Circle?

We do!

Please don't make me do this.

Molly! You made it!

Molly! Molly!

I've warmed us up. We're totally

ready for you to take over.

Oh, well, that's just great.

Um, so let's just go straight

into the first thing then

- which is the...

- Group hug!

Or we can skip the first thing!

Okay...

Oh. Oh.

Next thing on the agenda.

The circle of trust.

Right.

So let's circle up

and do some trust.

You can have the bunny.

The bunny?

The bunny of truth.

Well, the bunny of truth.

Um, Nikki, could you

please remind us all

what the rules are

of truth bunnying?

Whoever holds the bunny

gets to safely say

something true and meaningful to

clear the air before the game.

Well, then Nikki

should start us off.

Oh, okay.

Um...

Okay, I'm so grateful

to be on a team with all of you.

If I am strong, it's only because I'm

surrounded by such strong women.

And I'm especially grateful

for Molls.

She's always there. No matter

how crazy my life gets,

she gives me the friendship

and support I need.

She's an amazing friend

and the captain.

- Yeah!

- Thank you.

I also want to say one more

quick bunny truth,

and that is that I'm really mad at

the people who invented weather apps

because don't you wanna wake up

every morning

and be surprised

at what the weather is?!

Yeah.

Your turn.

Well, my truth is

that I am so grateful

to be sitting down

because this dress

is a serious chaffing hazard.

Okay. Now for your...

emotional truth.

My emotional truth. That would

probably have to be that

I am fine. I am great.

Thank you, Nikki.

Molly, this is your safe place.

You can trust us.

We love you.

My truth would be...

I'm not the girl that

everybody thinks I am.

I'm not

the beautiful shining star

that everybody suspects.

I'm actually more of the person

that nobody notices,

or nobody pays attention to.

But...

this is probably why

I'm so uncomfortable here.

But, guys,

this is-this is all in my head.

Right?

Because I'm awesome city Molly.

I mean, the bomb.

Anyway, that's my truth,

which is actually,

weirdly, true.

I think that deserves

another group hug!

Um, okay.

All right. Yep, yep.

Love you too, okay.

Carter. My hombre.

- How's the guinea pig?

- Still farting like a chainsaw.

I can't figure out why.

Because there's talmitic acid

in the ice cream.

It's reacting with ascorbic acid

and turning it into a fat.

Ascorbyl palmitate. They can't

metabolize the fat,

- so you end up with the flatulence.

- How'd you know that?

I was a Governor's Scholar

in Chemistry last year.

Really? A Governor's

Scholar in Chemistry?

- That's, like, crazy amazing.

- How about we keep it between us?

You know, it's not really

something I like to advertise.

Hey. Do you know if Cleo was

planning on showing up?

I'm sorry, man.

She's actually sick today.

But I know she might've

maybe wanted to be here, maybe.

Can I ask you something?

What's Cleo's deal?

Whenever I talk to her,

it's like,

you know...

and... and she's kind of...

Never mind. It's cool. Uh,

good luck with the guinea pig.

This is actually amazing.

Oh! Okay!

- Gotta go, guys. Bye.

- Molly?

What are you doing?

Did you get the microscope?

Forget about that!

Some really cute guy

in the science lab

was asking for you!

Oh, that's just Carter.

"Just Carter?" He's super cute

and totally into you!

No, Molly.

I'm not the kind of girl that...

guys like Carter

are ever actually into.

Come on.

There's only one way

to find out.

No. Don't you think

we have bigger things

to worry about right now?

I'm not going

to go meet Carter, okay?

That's final.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I have a massage circle to lead.

Aah! Meatballs! Meatballs!

Ohh, coming through!

Coming through!

Coming through! Mayday!

Meatballs!

Lots of meatballs!

Why did I eat

so many meatballs?!

Watch my fur, dudes.

Here goes nothing.

You can do this, Molly.

Just hold your breath,

get in and get out.

Gross.

Uh... is there a chick in here?

Uh... No.

It's me, a dude.

In the stall.

Doing my dude things.

Mmm.

- Carter!

- Uh, yes?

It's me! Cleo!

- Sorry, who? You're...

- I'm Cleo!

- Cleo! You showed?

- Yep! Sure did!

- I thought you were...

- Sick? Yes. I was.

But now I'm feeling much better.

And you're in costume.

You hate costumes.

Yeah, I know, but I'm

working on this thing

where I'm trying to relax more and

be less judgmental and uptight.

Are you sure you're okay?

You don't really

seem like yourself.

Those pants

look ridiculous on you.

There's the Cleo

I know and love.

So, hi. We're hanging out.

Yeah, I guess we are.

This is great.

I'm really psyched.

- You are?

- I know.

I've probably been

confusing in the past.

A little grouchy, right?

Mean, even.

Let's just put all that behind us.

Focus on the now.

Maybe get to know each other.

Tell me about yourself.

What kind of stuff

does Carter groove to?

Oh, no.

Oh. Uh...

Actually, I have to run.

But maybe we could go out sometime,

like in a non-study setting.

Like a real date.

Wait a second, I...

I'm not sure I'm hearing you

correctly in that suit.

Are you asking me out?

Yeah. I am.

What? Is that weird?

Honestly, coming from you,

a little.

- A lot, actually.

- What are you doing tonight?

Tonight? Um, I'm volunteering

at the school fundraiser.

Romp the Swamp? That's

my favorite event of the year!
