Social Nightmare Page #6

because of what you think

I did to your sister?

Okay, but that other stuff?

The scoreboard?

Hacking into my phone?

That stupid

HoneyDaddy site? Why?

What did I ever do to you?

I sent the pictures, yeah,

but... but don't

you dare try

and turn all that other stuff

you did around on me!

Just admit it!

You're the hacker!

Oh. Oh, you'd like

people to think that,

wouldn't you? Wouldn't you?

You b*tch!

You know what?

I am so sick of this!

You know why you're so jealous?

Because I earned being class president.

I earned Brown!

I didn't have to beg

for those things like you.

Face it, Emily.

You're good, but I'm better,

and you can't deal with it.

I want to smash your face in.

Oh, so do it.

What in the world?

Hey!

Don't!

Cat! Emily!

Stop this right now!

Cat!

Emily! Emily!

Stop this right now!

Watch me!

Emily, stop.

Right now.

Don't touch my daughter!

Back off!

Keep your hands off her!

That's assault!

She assaulted

my daughter first!

Hey, Cat started it.

You be quiet!

Whoa! Whoa!

Put that phone away,

or I'll take it from you!

Get back!

Stay away from me!

I'm calling the police.

Good.

No.

No, it was me. I...

I started it.

What are you gonna do about it?

I'm already suspended,

so you guys don't have

to deal with me anymore.

That's the second fight Cat's had

on school property this week.

So why isn't she suspended?

Mr. Hargroves, I'll handle this.

'Cause you're doing a real

bang-up job up till now!

Give me that phone.

Hey, no way. No way!

This is for Emily

if she decides to

change her mind.

Take that phone from him.

You gonna let him

post that online

just like he did all those

dirty pictures of...

Daniel, go home.

Take his phone!

Mrs. Hardy, please!

My daughter is being bullied,

and I don't see the school

doing a thing about it.

Okay, we'll schedule a

meeting as soon as possible.

You're damn right we will.

Come on, baby.

Can't find my phone.

It's not in your bag?

No. I think I dropped it

during the fight.

We'll call the office and

see if anyone turned it in.

I think someone picked it up.

That's all I need, more

people looking at my stuff.

Honey, where did those...

underwear pictures come from?

I took them.

Why?

I thought Danny was special.

I thought he'd keep them

to himself.

What you kids just

don't understand

is that these things

that you put up online

and these pictures that you

post or send or whatever you do

is they... they

stick around forever.

They have a life. They...

Even if you erase them,

people, creepy people, can pass

them on and on, and they...

Okay, I don't need

a lecture right now!

I learned my lesson. I'll

never trust anyone again!

Oh.

Mom.

Yeah?

I didn't know you

had a miscarriage.

That was a long time ago, baby.

Do you want to talk about it?

Maybe I won't go to Brown.

Maybe I'll just stay at home like

you said, go to community college.

It's up to you, sweetheart.

Just for a while.

She can't sleep.

She's been on antidepressants.

I mean, this has

just gone on too far.

Daniel has admitted

to sending those photos,

and we have

suspended him accordingly.

Well, that's not good enough!

Well, we have no proof

that he's done anything else.

My daughter is 17 years old!

She is a minor!

What he's done is basically

distributed child pornography.

I want him expelled permanently,

and I'm gonna call

the authorities.

No, Mom, don't.

I just want to forget

this ever happened.

Honey, we cannot let him

victimize you like that.

That fight,

he's probably posting

that online right now.

Yes, go ahead, and send both

of them in, please. Thank you.

We have another problem.

What now?

Mr. Perryman, Ms. Langran,

you know Cat's mother...

Hello, Cat.

Mrs. Hardy.

Hey.

Mr. Perryman, go ahead.

Mrs. Langran has a program that we run

all of the students' papers through.

It checks the written story

to Internet archives.

It's the first thing I do when a

student turns in an assignment.

I hate to accuse you, Cat.

You're an excellent student.

Your AP final,

the program found

a match for plagiarism.

What?

This isn't my paper.

That's what you turned in.

I didn't write this.

That is the paper

you handed to me yesterday.

I give up.

This is serious, young lady.

We take charges of plagiarism

very seriously.

This, you take seriously?

I'm afraid I'm going

to have to fail you, Cat,

and you won't be able to

continue in the AP classes.

But the school year's

almost over.

Those classes will be

removed from your record,

and you probably will not

graduate this spring.

This is insanity.

She's going to Brown!

Cat, this is

so out of character for you.

You don't seem okay.

She's not okay.

She is being punished

for absolutely no reason.

Come on, Cat.

Is anything going on

that I should know about?

Maybe you should look

into how those essays

ended up on your computer

program, Ms. Langran.

What are you insinuating?

I don't know

what your problem is,

but you've been doing

everything you can

to make sure

that my daughter fails.

Well, I am sorry

you feel that way.

We are suing you. We are

suing this district.

We are suing those bullies!

Mrs. Hardy, considering

everything that's happened,

you might decide

that homeschooling

is more appropriate

for your daughter.

It'd be a hell of a

lot better than this zoo.

And you can wipe that phony

look of concern off your face!

It's okay, sweetie. I'm gonna

fight this thing all the way.

Don't you get it?

I don't want to fight anymore.

They actually suggested

you homeschool.

Sounds good to me.

You know what?

I am so sick of this!

I earned being president!

I didn't have to beg

for those things like you did.

You're good, but I'm better,

and you can't deal with it.

I want to smash your face in.

So do it.

Oh!

Oh, you okay, baby?

You have a nightmare?

Bad dream?

Oh, I just keep thinking

about that fight with Emily

and how Daniel

has it on his phone

and how I can't find my phone

and how I'm just gonna

go online any minute

and see this title like "Real Cat

Fight," and I'm just so sick of it.

Calm down, baby.

Calm down.

Here. Take one of these.

It's not time yet.

It'll relax you.

Come on.

It'll make you feel better.

I have to talk to Daniel.

What? No.

No good can come from that.

Just stay away

from those people.

Come on. Let's get you

back to sleep.

Why did you send everyone

those pictures of Cat?

What do you care?

I thought you hated her guts.

I do.

We've been friends

a really long time, okay?

It's hard to just stop

caring about her.

Do you still have

that video of us fighting?

Maybe.

Well, can you erase it?

Because the last thing I need

is for more embarrassing

crap to get out there.

Maybe I'll erase it.

Maybe I won't.

I don't know yet.

What?

Are you the one

doing all this stuff?

W-Wait. Are you serious?

You know what?

I-I've figured you out.

You're totally

obsessed with Cat.

That's what it is.
