Last Year When We Had

The State Soccer Finals,

He Gave Me A D Because

I Turned In My Assignment Late.

Was It My Fault That My Team Ned

Me To Help Win The Championship?

Yeah, You're Right.

He Has Motive And Opportunity.

He Could Easily Come Up

With Some Nasty Potion

To Make The Whole School Sick.

Uh, Nurse Betty?

Are You Kidding?

She Was So Tired Last Night,

I Had To Program All Of Her Shos

On Dvr.

It Took Me Hours.

Okay. Sean, Emily, Plume. . .

Anybody Else?

What About Riley Or Mia?

They're Nasty Enough

To Do Something Like This.

No. They Got Sick, Too,

And They Barfed

All Over Their New Outfits.

They Were Devastated.

I Would Be, Too.

Okay. Let's Start

At The Top Of The List.

Tomorrow, Sean's Room.

[ School Bell Rings ]

[ School Bell Rings ]

All Right.

Where Are The Students?

Where Are The Students?

[ Coins Clink ]

Student:

This Is Ridiculous!

I've Been Waiting In This Line

A Half Hour.

There'd Better Be Something Left

When We Get To The Machine.

Someone Is Making A Lot Of Money

Off Of These Machines.

I'm Broke. You Want To Loan Me

A Dollar? Or Two?

Sorry. I Only Have A Dollar,

And I'm Starving To Death.

I Have A Dollar You Can Use.

Thank You.

It's A Loan. That Means

You Pay It Back With Interest.

What Kind Of Interest?

I'll Think Of Something.

Okay, Here's The Plan.

Claire, You Keep Sean Occupied

While We Search His Room.

Why Me?

Because You Two Have So Much

In Common.

You Love Books,

And He Loves Books.

You Love. . . Books,

And He Loves Books.

Okay, Okay, I Get It.

I'm A Nerd.

No. She Didn't Mean It Like Tha.

Really.

But Isn't Searching His Room

A Violation

Of His First Amendment Rights?

Making People Puke Their Guts Ot

Has To Be A Violation Of

Something,

So It Has To Be Done.

All Right. I'll Text Abby's Phoe

Once It's All Clear. Okay?

Okay.

Hey, Sean, Look What My Mom

Sent Me In The Mail Today.

Wow! Can I Borrow This

When You're Done With It?

Well, I Was Thinking,

How About We Read It Together,

Sort Of Like A Book Club.

You Know, You Read The First Ch,

And Then Give It To Me,

And I Read It And So On,

And Then We Can Compare Notes.

Really?

That Would Be Awesome!

When Can We Start?

Uh, How About Right Now?

I Just Have To Go And Text My Mm

And Tell Her Thank You,

So You Just Stay Right Here,

Don't Move,

And I'll Be Back In A Minute.

Okay.

[ Cell Phone Vibrates ]

All Clear.

Paige:

Ew!

Smell These.

Pass.

Okay, Anything In Here,

Besides Socks,

That Could Make Somebody Sick?

No. These All Look Safe.

We're Never Going To Find

Anything In Here.

[ Noises Outside ]

Someone's Coming.

Calamine! I Need Calamine!

Abby:

We've Got To Get Out Of Here.

Did You Guys See That Stuff

All Over His Face?

It Was So Gross.

Question. . .

Why Are You In My Room?

Uh, Answer. . .

Room Inspection!

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Oh, Dust.

Dirty Laundry.

Pills?

Those Are Prescriptions.

Taylor:

Sure, Sure.

All Right. We'll Let It Go This,

But You've Been Warned.

Random Room Inspections

Are Imminent And Increasing

Daily.

Our Work Here Is Done.

[ Whispering ]

Breathe, Baby, Breathe!

Abby, Taylor, Paige, Detention.

I Thought You Said You Were

Going To Keep Sean Occupied.

He Found Us In His Room.

I Am So Sorry.

By The Way, What Did You Do To ?

He Was Covered In Hives.

Claire:
Right After I Texted Yo,

I Turned Around, And He Was

Gone.

Maybe He Had A Reaction

To Some Plant Or Something.

I Ran Inside To Tell You,

But Principal Littman

Pulled Me In Her Office.

Why?

She's Freaking Out

About All This Sickness.

She's Getting Tons Of Phone Cals

From Concerned Parents.

Some Of Them Are Going To

Pull Their Kids Out Of School.

Maybe We Should Tell Her

About The Notes.

No, Not Yet.

Let's Try And Solve This On Our

Own.

What If She Figures Out We Knew

Something And Didn't Tell Her?

She'd Be Really Mad.

Maybe She Would Expel Us.

No Way.

Our Parents Spend A Fortune

On This School.

I Mean, We Basically Pay Her

Salary.

Don't Worry.

Let's Wait A Couple Of Days,

And If We Don't Find Out Who It,

Then We'll Tell Her.

So, Did You Guys Find Anything?

Just Some Dirty Socks.

Oh.

Abby:

What If We Get Caught?

Claire:
It's An Emergency.

I'm Starving.

Abby:
I'm Not Eating Anything

From The School.

Taylor:

The Coast Is Clear.

Aren't You On A Fresh-Fruit

Diet?

That Was Then. This Is Now.

I'm So Hungry,

I Could Eat A Whole Cow.

Lucky They Don't

Serve A Whole Cow Here.

-Come On. I'm Starving.

-Me Too.

What's That. . .?

Guys, Get Down!

What's Wrong?

I Think Someone's Following Us.

Huh?

Not So Loud!

What Are You Talking About?

Claire:

Interesting.

What?

If Someone Is Following Us,

We're Going To Find Out Who And

Why.

Come On.

Wait! What If They're Dangerous?

Somehow, I Don't Think So.

Ethan?

Sean?

No Way.

Claire:
Brad?

Why Were You Guys Following Us?

Because You're Acting

All Suspicious.

We Just Wanted Some Good Food.

What's Wrong With That?

You Raided My Room. Why?

Room Inspection.

You Think I Fell For That?

I'm Not A Complete Moron.

Maybe We Should Tell Them.

Girls:

No!

Ethan:

Tell Us What?

Okay, But We

Have To Swear You To Secrecy.

That Means You Won't Tell

Anybody.

No, Really?

Someone's Trying

To Make All The Students Sick.

We Found These Notes.

No Way.

Really?

Cool!

But It's Not Me.

Yeah, We Know That. . . Now.

So What Are We Gonna Do?

We Are Going To Figure Out

Who's Doing This.

You Guys Could Help

By Not Following Us

And Letting Us Do Our Own Thing.

Claire:

And Not Interfering

And By Not Saying A Word

About These Notes To Anyone.

Got It, Brad?

Me? Yeah.

Yeah, Whatever.

Promise?

Yeah.

Okay. Let's Eat.

Oh, And, Sean,

You Might Want To Try Fragrancee

Calamine Lotion From Now On.

We Could Smell You A Mile Away.

Man, I Told You That Stuff

Stinks.

Do You Think The Boys Will Tell?

They Better Not.

If Anyone Finds Out That Someons

Making Everyone Sick,

The Whole School Will Freak Out.

[ Sighs ]

Are You Sure

We Should Be Doing This?

If You Don't Want To,

It's No Skin Off My Nose.

Okay.

Dang, This Machine

Is Almost Out Of Squiggles,

And I Love Squiggles.

Me Too.

Here, Put These In Your Bag

Until After Drama Class.

There's No Way I Can Give My

Monologue With Those In My

Teeth.

[ Laughs ]

Girl 1 :

Check This Out.

Girl 2:
Oh, My Gosh!

Who Do You Think Put It Here?

Mia:

What Is It?

Read It. It's Freaky.

''Don't Want To Barf?

Stay Away From The Carf.''

''Carf'?

''Carf'?

Kind Of Sounds Like

''Cafeteria.''

Oh, My Gosh.

Do You Really Think

Someone's Trying To Poison Our

Food?

Looks Like It.

But Why?

Check It Out, Guys.

Wasn't A Virus After All.

Someone's Deliberately

Trying To Poison Our Food.

Let Me See That.

Hey, What's Going On?

Mia:
A Note's Been Put

By The Drama-Room Door.

What'd It Say?

Someone's Poisoning

The Cafeteria Food.

They're Trying To Make Everyone

Sick.

Who Would Do Something Like

That?

A Real Jerk, That's Who.

You Know, I Bet It Was
