[woman's voice]
I have this reoccurring dream.
I'm a little
girl sitting with my mom,
and she's singing to me.
I feel the warmth
of the sun on my skin
and the comfort of her arms
around me.
[sighs] And I wanna stay there.
Forever.
When I wake up,
I miss the dream.
I want so badly
for this dream to be real,
but that would be impossible
because my mom died
when I was really little.
And I can't go out in the sun.
Like, at all.
I have a rare genetic condition
called Xeroderma Pigmentosum,
or XP, which basically means
a severe sensitivity
to sunlight.
If the sun hits my skin,
I get skin cancer,
and I could die.
Pretty fun, right?
So, I spend all my time indoors
behind special windows,
hanging out with my dad
who is the best dad ever.
Thank goodness,
because growing up,
kids were, uh,
what you'd expect.
- [girl] No way.
- Yep, a vampire.
That's why they have
special windows.
Don't worry. She can't
get us during the day.
But at night,
stay far, far away.
[woman's voice] But not everyone
was afraid of me.
- Hey, Morgan.
- What's wrong with her?
Basically, the light from
the sun, it-it hurts her.
So she can't ever go
in the sun.
I can't be in the sun
for too long either.
Can she play at night?
- Yeah, but...
- See you tonight.
Oh, and I like pizza!
- [acoustic guitar playing]
- [woman's voice] From that point on,
it was me, Morgan and my dad.
Until one day, I saw Charlie.
And that was it.
I was completely,
totally, utterly hooked.
Stupid tree.
[woman's voice]
I saw him every day.
And yet,
he had no idea I even existed.
Over time,
watching Charlie go by
just became
a part of my routine.
Along with constant
doctor appointments.
Sleeping during the day
and staying up all night,
which, from what I've heard,
is the schedule
of most teenagers.
And playing music
every chance I get.
All things considered,
But I still hold onto my dreams.
Stupid tree.
[woman's voice] No matter
how impossible they may seem.
[woman]
They're not gonna break us
Hey, we'll burn so bright
Making all the people
Come to life
Hey, the darkest sky
Can't stop me and you
Tonight
I said hey
We'll burn so bright
Dancing underneath
The city lights
Hey, from way up high
Shining down
Like stars tonight
[male announcer] Jeremy Pierce.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
Kendall Porter.
Congratulations.
[announcer] Peter Rathbard.
- Charles Reed.
- [man] Yeah, Charlie!
[cheering continues]
Congratulations, Charlie.
[man] Katie Price!
What are you wearing?
Oh, cap and gown. Huh?
The faculty and staff
always wear one.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
[chuckles]
Most importantly,
this is for you.
- Hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
I assume, as valedictorian,
you have a speech prepared. Yes?
Um, yes.
[clears throat]
That's me
putting on my glasses.
- I like that. Nice touch.
- Thank you.
Um, first, I would
like to thank my headmaster.
- Well, I mean...
- My Spanish teacher.
[speaking Spanish] De nada.
- My English teacher.
- It was my pleasure.
But I really wanna
state for the record
that my gym teacher had absolutely
no idea what he was doing...
What? Oh, you suck.
I lift weights.
Hey, this is for you.
This is one of the lamest things
I've ever seen.
Yes! [laughs]
I had to go to three stores
to find something this lame.
- I mean, it's horrific.
- Yeah! It's the worst.
Yeah. [chuckles]
All right.
Are you ready for your present?
- There's a present involved?
- Oh, there's a present, yes!
Of course, there's a present.
It's graduation...
This just keeps getting
better and better.
This is Mom's.
Look, I know
it's kind of old,
so if you want a newer one
I totally under...
No, I love it!
Thank you. Thank you so much.
You look just like your mother.
Lucky you.
She was hot.
Ew.
Try and get some sleep.
All right?
- [kids howling]
- [car horns honking]
[voices chattering]
- [woman] I can't believe this is happening.
- [kids chatting, laughing]
Ooh.
That's a good one.
Uh, something weird's
going on right here.
[chuckles]
Hey, Dad, um...
I was wondering
if I could go play
my new beautiful present
at the train station
tonight.
It's 10:
00.Why can't Morgan just come over?
You could play here for me.
Morgan's busy
with her family.
And, Dad, I love playing
for you, I really do,
but I also need
to get used to playing
in front of
other people too.
Please, please, please.
Fred will be there.
He'll watch out for me.
And I graduated today!
[moans] Isn't that the American
tradition, to extend my curfew?
Okay, I'll extend
your curfew one hour.
Which means midnight, okay?
Hey, and text me
right when you get there,
or I'm not
just gonna call Fred,
I'm actually
gonna come down there.
And it will be so embarrassing,
it'll become urban legend
- on why kids should stick to their curfew!
- I love you.
[pop music playing]
[crowd cheering]
Come to me, baby
Don't be shy, don't be shy
Don't be shy
Come to me, baby
Don't be shy
Oh, boy.
It was the summertime
Summertime
Oh. Hey,
don't do that thing.
What thing?
That. I mean, you look all sad
and it makes me sad.
Please just chug this beer
and come hang out!
Dude, you
dodged a bullet, man.
You were gonna be up at the ass
crack of dawn every morning
taking tests,
nowhere near the beach.
And now, we get to do this...
our whole lives.
Hmm, I forgot,
doing this our whole lives,
it's way better
than a full ride to Berkeley.
Zoe Carmichael. 3:00.
- Charlie... you're in trouble.
- What did I do this time?
You didn't get me a drink.
I did not know
you were thirsty.
Now you do.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
Is that the bad one?
Well, now that
you're not swimming,
maybe you'll have
a little extra time for me.
I also have some
extra time for you.
- And I'm not swimming.
- You were never swimming, idiot.
[girl]
Zoe! Get over here, b*tch!
Hold on!
You're coming to
my graduation party, right?
Yeah, I think so.
Good.
Yeah!
What... What are you doing?
Dodging another bullet.
Come on, dude.
It's our graduation night.
I'm not feeling it, boys.
I'll see you later.
- [man] Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Hey, yo, Fred.
I was wondering if I was
gonna see you tonight.
What, and disappoint
all my fans?
[both laugh]
[tuning guitar]
[playing acoustic pop music]
While you're fast asleep
Counting your sheep
I'm breathin'
I'll be up all night
Playing through
This twilight dream
'Cause all my life
I have been
Patiently waiting
For lights to dim
To fulfill my destiny
[train approaching]
I'll keep reaching
As far as I can
Till break of day
I'll keep reaching
The light of my life
Will find its way
I know if I reach too far
I may not ever recover
But I know the stars
Ain't all I'm meant
To discover
So I'll keep reaching
I know if I reach too far
I may not ever recover
But I know the stars
