Belle seems to have it altogether but as family trouble and daily social academic pressures grow, she seeks a way to control an otherwise chaotic world.

- She won't get mad?

- No, she said I could use it.

- You talked to her?

- Yeah, she just gotta

figure some stuff out.

- Right.

- Um, so do you wanna do

just traditional pink and red

or red and black?

I was actually thinking we

could do something classy.

Maybe black and white

with pink and red accents,

but Olivia's so set on red-hot

theme, that I don't know.

- Right.

- Yeah.

I found this great website.

Here, I'll show you

some of my ideas.

- Who is this person?

- Who?

- This person, right there.

- I don't know who that is.

- But why are you on this page?

- I mean, it's just...

- Why does it say

your name is Ana?

- Nobody uses their real names.

- So you lie?

- Well, Ana is the

first part of my name,

so technically, no.

- Wow.

- It's not a big deal.

- You're not planning

on killing yourself

or anything, right?

- What? No.

Why would you say that?

- I don't know, it

just looks like that.

- No, it's just thinspo.

- Right.

- Thinspiration, just

inspiration to keep thin.

- I know what thinspo is.

- Don't tell anyone?

- Of course.

- How does the 25th

work for you?

We should set up a meeting

of the executive council.

I was thinking we

could get started

on the dance early this year.

It is our big fundraiser

for the spring trip,

and I was wondering if your mom

could give us some of the photos

that she has from

last year's dance

to help them with his year's.

I didn't see her

at the PTA meeting.

- Oh, she was there.

- She was?

- Mhm.

You know what?

I'll tell her to bring it

to back-to-school night.

- Sounds great.

- So how are you gonna

pull that one off?

- What do you mean?

- You're only lying to yourself.

- Let's go.

- Uh, are you sure?

- Hurry up.

- That is Belle.

That can't be Belle.

- Well, that's Gus's car.

Grab my hand and let's go far

We'll never leave

this little car

We'll travel here

and go to there

You'll never be alone I swear

I love you

We'll smile when

others laugh at us

Grab my hand and let's go far

We'll never leave

this little car

I'll take you here,

I'll take you there

You'll never

have to fear again

But fear

Yourself

Grab my hand and let's go far

We'll never leave

this little car

I'll take you here,

I'll take you there

I'll take you all the

way to the moon, I swear

I love you

We'll smile when

others laugh at us

Whoa whoa whoa

Whoa whoa

I love you so

Whoa whoa

Whoa whoa

Not one two three, but four

Times more than

any lover before

Me

Yeah, me

Well grab my hand

and let's go far

We'll never leave

this little car

- Belle.

I'm glad I ran into you,

I still haven't received

your essay for the

application yet.

- Oh, I'm not finished.

- Okay, well please hurry.

That deadline is

fast approaching.

- Of course. I'll

have it done soon.

- Perfect.

- Whipped!

- Joey, just shut up.

- You know, you smell like ass.

- Oh yeah?

Well, you are an ass.

- How precious.

- Joey, I swear to God,

if you don't leave me...

- Uh oh, uh oh, preppy's

gonna get serious.

- Joey, get the

hell out of my room.

- Yeah, well

tell someone who cares.

- Joey, get out of my room now.

- You get out.

- God!

- Really?

- Hey Belle, how was your break?

- Great.

- We didn't hear

from you at all.

I was the lucky one who

didn't get a present.

- Oh, I'm so sorry,

I completely forgot

about our Secret Santa.

- Yeah, and the student

council meeting.

- Don't worry, I'll be there.

- It was yesterday.

Are you still planning

for the dance?

- Yeah, of course.

- Okay, because it just

seems like Lyla's been doing

all the work and the party

committee was just wondering

if we should listen to

her because you haven't

really been telling

us what to do.

- Yeah, I spoke to Lyla.

Just listen to her.

- Next.

Come on, put that down. Step up.

- What?

- You're 85.

- Really?

- Yep.

- Excuse me, hi, yes.

This is Mr. Davy, I'm looking

for one of my students,

Anabelle.

I was wondering what class

she's in this period.

The freshman, that's right.

- You wanted to see me?

- Yes, have a seat.

I was going over

the applications

for the program the other day,

and I couldn't find your essay.

So I was wondering

when you handed it in.

- I didn't.

- Why not?

Do you still want to?

Do you want me to

pull a few strings?

Want me to get you

some more time?

- No,

that's okay Mr. Davy.

- Are you sure?

Is everything alright?

- Fine.

- Belle, I know you're

upset about the grade

you received this

marking period,

but that doesn't mean

that you should give up.

- I know.

- Look, when I was

first starting out, I wanted

to be a science teacher,

but I got stuck

teaching English instead

which turned out to be okay

because I still got to

do what I wanted to do.

I got to teach you guys.

I guess what I'm saying

is life isn't perfect

and you can't always

get what you want,

but you can get pretty close.

- What took you so long?

- Sorry,

a teacher kept me.

- Was it Mr. Davy?

And give you that rose?

- Do you have to smoke in here?

- You kinda stress me out.

- It's nasty.

- So open the window.

- It's freezing.

- You complain way too much.

- You really shouldn't smoke.

- Why, because

you don't like it?

- No,

well, yeah, but it's

not good for you.

- Well starving yourself

isn't good for you neither.

So I was wondering,

wanna go to the dance?

- Is this a trick question?

- Uh, why you gotta

make it so difficult?

- Are you asking

me if I wanna go

or if I wanna go with you?

- Do you wanna go to the

dance with me? Yes or no.

- Yes, yes, I wanna go with you.

- Cool.

- What changed your mind?

- You know, I just

thought I'd steal you

before Mr. Davy gets a chance.

- Shut up.

- Make me.

- Shut up.

- No, hey make me, make me,

- No stop!

- Come one, make me, come on.

- So, I really need

to lose a few pounds

to fit into this gorgeous

dress that I tried on.

But it's gonna be

totally worth it

when somebody actually

asks me to go.

- You should ask Belle

to teach you her secrets.

You could do that, right?

You slimmed down from

all that thinspo.

- Oh.

I mean, it was just nothing.

I was just stressed.

- What? When I'm

stressed, I eat more.

- So, are you

guys have any date to the dance?

- We should all go together.

No, I have a date.

- Who?

- Ryan asked me.

Does that mean Gus is going too?

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh,

that's amazing, can

you guys believe this?

I mean, it's a bad idea.

- Come on, it's not a bad idea.

It's not a bad idea,

it's a great idea.

It's okay, I mean come on,

be happy for her.

- Now, to get us in the

mood for Valentine's Day,

we are going to be reading

some of your love sonnets.

Who would like to go first?

Great, Belle, thank you

so much for volunteering.

Why don't you come up to

the front of the class

to present for us.

Oh my God.

- Did I...

Did I pass out?

- Mhm.

- I think I'm still

queasy from biology.

We're dissecting frogs.

- Everything okay?

- She's fine.
