well for her these days.

Look.

Yale?

After you guys spent all

that time petitioning Brown?

I didn't even know

she applied to Yale.

Well, you two haven't had

secrets from each other before.

I know.

Oh, baby.

Oh, come he...

Oh, my sweetheart.

At least you still

have Brown, okay?

What's the point

if Emily's not going?

Honey, you know, in life,

things rarely go

according to your plans.

I'm sorry. It's really all about

being flexible, you know.

So maybe you put off Brown

and you stay here

for your first two years

and go to a community college,

and then you can live at home.

You're right.

I should go to Brown/RISD

and get my degrees

and start my own business,

because I don't need a partner.

Uh, honey, you're not

really hearing me.

No, you're right.

Be flexible.

Yes, be flexible.

Cat, where are you going?

To Emily's.

I'm gonna tell her I'm gonna start my

own business and I don't need her.

Just... Honey,

don't burn any bridges.

I'm not.

I'm crossing them.

Cat!

Hi.

Emily, it's Cat!

Just a second, Cat.

Tell her to go away.

She's standing there.

I don't care!

I don't want to talk to her!

Just go. Just go.

Hi.

So I guess congratulations

are in order

for Student Council.

You can't blame me for that.

Who can I blame for

lying to me about Yale?

I didn't lie!

I just didn't tell you

every single little detail

of my life.

We had a plan, Em.

We were a team.

You think I made that website,

don't you, and that BuddyMe post?

You don't think

there's a hacker at all.

You know what?

I'm kind of over this,

so you just go to Brown,

I'll go to Yale,

and maybe I'll see you

at the reunion in 10 years.

Or not.

I have to go.

It's like, I'm gonna

drive straight,

and then I'm gonna turn left.

Hey, I can help you

keep score if you want.

Oh, what's the matter, Cat?

Got your tongue?

Oh!

Hey, Cat.

You okay?

Oh.

Hi.

Roger.

What's going on?

You look upset.

You got troubles, huh?

Yeah.

It's 'cause of that

scoreboard website?

Look, I know it has

my name on it,

but I didn't put up that site.

Somebody went through a lot of

trouble to screw up my life.

And it's not just the website.

It's the BuddyMe page.

Someone posted things

that I didn't post.

Worst part of it all is

nobody seems to believe me.

I believe you.

Look, nothing is safe

on the Internet.

No matter how secure

you think you are,

there are people out there

that can hack into anything.

Look, I know this guy.

He might be able to help you.

He's a full-on

computer genius.

He... I had a problem. He helped

me out a few months ago.

What kind of problem?

Well, someone was

catfishing this girl

using a picture of me

from track.

So do you think

he would help me?

Well, of course he would, yeah.

I mean,

he's a good friend of mine.

That would be so great.

Why don't you meet me

over at his place

after school,

say, 5:
00?

Sure.

Okay.

Here. I'll give you

his address.

Thank you so much

for your help.

I so appreciate it.

Yeah, it's okay.

I gotta run, but I'll...

I'll see you later?

Yeah.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Cat! You made it.

Hey.

Come on in.

Cat, this is

my good buddy, Cool D.

Wassup?

Cool,

this is the girl I was

talking to you about, Cat?

Hi.

Go ahead.

Sit down.

He not only fixed

my catfishing problem.

We actually found the

guy who was doing it.

Really?

Hell, yeah.

Just gotta know

what you're looking for.

Cold one?

So you think you can help?

Well, that is always

a possibility, right?

Hey, yo, why don't you

give us some privacy

so I can converse

freely with my client?

Okay, sure.

So? Holler at me.

Somebody posted a website using

information from my computer.

Yeah.

You mean this one?

Yeah.

Do you think you can find out

who hacked into my stuff?

If you remember

when it happened.

I can look into the logs

on your router,

see if there's any traffic going

into your computer, you know.

Someone maybe copied your data.

That is, if they hacked in using

one of them Trojans online.

Has anybody had access to your

computer without you knowing?

No. I'm the only one.

All right.

Did you bring it with you?

Yeah, it's right here.

That's what's up.

So, when can you start?

Well, there's still

the matter of my fee.

Right.

How much do you charge?

Something like this

is gonna run you

the tune of, like,

10 Gs.

Wow, that's a lot of money.

I do quality work.

Uh, I'll see...

I'm just messing

with you, girl.

Damn.

What?

I don't expect you to come up

with that type of money.

You crazy?

Oh, okay.

Yeah, for sure,

'cause it's not always

about the monies.

You know what I'm saying?

I don't,

but I can figure out some

way to pay you later.

Nah, you can pay me right now.

Come on, Cat.

You know you like to party.

Okay! Get off me!

Ah, come on, Cat.

You're not leaving

before the money shot, are you?

That's right!

You better run, slut!

Hello.

Hey, Mom.

Could you come pick me up?

I missed the bus,

and it's getting late.

How'd it go?

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Okay, I'll be there soon.

Okay.

Cat, you are typically

a really good student,

but I have to say I'm very concerned

with what is going on here.

I've had four girls

come to talk to me

about this scoreboard site

just this morning.

They say boys are writing

stories about them,

lying in the comments section.

They were very upset.

I'm upset, too.

I didn't post it.

I think it's gross.

It doesn't seem like

something you would do.

It's not me, I swear.

I didn't post it.

Somebody hacked

into my accounts.

Well, can you think of

who would want to do that?

I don't know.

Somebody jealous,

somebody trying

to ruin my life.

Like who?

I don't know.

Maybe Haylee?

Cyberbullying isn't

covered under state laws.

People are working on it,

but it's hard to define.

However, when we find out

who's behind this,

they will be expelled.

You believe me?

I don't know what to believe,

but this is not the Cat I know.

So don't worry.

We will get

to the bottom of this.

Thanks a lot, Cat.

B*tch.

What was that?

Okay, you and you,

in my office now.

I want to talk about these

stories that you wrote.

Now!

Who did that?

Who did that, Joan?

What are you all

laughing at, huh?

You think it's funny?

Huh?! You think

this is funny!

Get out of here!

Oh, Joan.

Hey, did you guys

see anything? Who did this?

It's not true.

I know it's not.

You said, but it's not true.

I would never say

anything bad about you.

I'm not adopted.

This is ridiculous!

What?

Joan, get away from her.

Come on. Let's go home.

Daniel. Daniel.

Just go home.

What's going on?

Get out of the way.

Are you angry at me?

I defended you.

I just...

I just thought there was no way

you would ever

post those things.

I bet you were just laughing

at what an idiot I was, huh?

I don't know what

you're talking about!

If you want to hurt me,

then whatever.

But to tell Joan

after I trusted you?
