and uh ...

These are various memories

of the school board.

See uh, if something's eating at you, you

gotta find a way to use it.

It's kind of

dark in here.

Have you seen Rochelle?

Bruin?

She was supposed to meet me.

Hello?

Anybody home?

Are you deaf?

I was just thinking that ...

Andy, I've been looking

for you for like half an hour.

-Rochelle.

-I've been wandering up and down the halls ...

-I was just asking your friend where you were.

-She's not my friend.

-I thought she was your friend, alright?

-No, she's not.

-Why were you asking her?

-I've been looking for you.

Why didn't you wait ...

Just shut up, alright?

I was looking for you, alright?

-Andy.

-It is Valentine's Day. Okay?

It's time for a mental health day.

So conjugate this:

I cut class, you cut

class, he/she/it cuts class.

I should probably tell someone.

Just anyone.

Get it over with.

Blurt it out.

It's hard to sleep at home.

How long would it take for the nurses

to figure out I don't belong here?

Would they let me

rest for a few days?

It happened.

There's no avoiding it.

No forgetting.

Mellie, there's a friend

here to see you.

I hate being a "Martha".

You were so right not to join.

I mean, all I am was their little slave.

Ok, it was supposed to be me and Megan Shevan

decorating the Holiday Inn for prom,

and now Megan Shevan can't do it.

And I'm totally screwed.

Mel, you have to help me. They have some

sales meeting in there until like 3.

But then, they'll let us start.

I know we can do it.

You are so great.

I owe you big time.

What if I help you

re-decorate your room?

I know, a nice sea foam green.

-No.

-Okay, or something rich, like ...

like, eggplant.

No.

I mean ...

-I won't help you.

-But you have to.

-No, I don't.

-But ...

Why?

Because I was nice to you

in the beginning of school,

when I didn't even

like you.

And you blew me off.

Because you're a

self-centered social-climber.

And you know what?

I know what I want to do to my room.

And it doesn't involve eggplant.

I think you should go.

Why should I worry

about Rachel?

This'll hurt her.

We were best friends

for nine years.

That counts for something.

She's a traitor.

-And a witch.

-She doesn't know what happened.

-She'll hate me.

-She already hates you.

I hope he breaks

her heart.

-Hey.

-Hey.

-Homework?

-Kind of.

I'm going to France this summer

with the International Club.

That's great.

I mean, you always

talked about traveling.

Do you remember when we read "Heidi" and then

we tried to melt the cheese in the fireplace?

So you're going to prom with him?

Yeah.

He's so great.

So awesome, and gorgeous and yummy.

What are you going to do when

he goes to college?

I can't even think about it.

It hurts too much.

He said he'd transfer

somewhere around here.

I'll wait for him.

But you've only been going out

with him for like 2 months.

What do you want, anyway?

I'm just really sorry we

couldn't be friends this year.

-Are you still mad about the party?

-No.

I mean, it was dumb to call the

cops, but we could've just left.

"I was raped."

Oh my God, why didn't you tell me?

When police came, everyone started

freaking out. I got scared.

I walked home.

After that night,

I couldn't tell anyone.

Did you get pregnant?

Did you get AIDS?

-Are you okay?

-Yeah.

I mean, no, I didn't get pregnant.

I'm fine.

Was it someone from the school?

Who was it?

Melinda, tell me.

It was Andy Evans.

What?

I can't believe you!

Liar! You're jealous!

I'm popular ...

and I'm going to Prom.

And now you tell me this?

That's twisted, Melinda.

Seriously. You're sick.

You need help.

Coming?

Hello?

Earth to Rochelle.

Alright. Okay.

What did I do this time?

Tell me.

Remember when you asked me about

Melinda Sordino?

The girl in the art room.

Why did you ask me

if I was friends with her?

Do you know her?

How do you know her?

I was looking for you.

B*tch.

A revolutionary is only as

good as his analysis.

What does that mean?

Melinda.

Better late than never.

Why's a revolutionary only

as good as his or her analysis?

I think you should know what you stand

for, not just what you're against.

We should be able to shout how

things could be better.

That's pretty darn good.

Rochelle, so glad you

could join us.

-I need to talk with you for one second.

-No, let go. Andy get off of me!

-Hey, Dad.

-Hey, stranger.

-What's the occasion?

-I just came from a job interview.

Really, how'd it go?

Good, I think.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Dad, that is so great.

Here's what I learned in Bio:

If the seed is planted too deep,

it doesn't warm up in time.

Once the plant surfaces, it sprouts

leaves so it can absorb more sun.

If someone picks the flower, the plant grows

another bloom to produce more seeds.

Melinda.

Will you sign my yearbook?

-I'm not in it.

-Yeah you are.

Right here.

Doesn't really look like you.

It is me.

Hey, uh, do you want to go out for some

Chinese food tonight? A bunch of us are going.

Do you want to come?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

So, ah, what are you up to this summer?

I'm going to take an

Art class in the city.

That's cool.

I think I'm going to intern at my Uncle's lab.

It's good experience for Pre-Med.

I forgot something, but

call me about tonight, ok?

Alright.

Definitely check out the

ouiji exhibit at the "ICP".

Hey, Melinda!

-Glad you're here.

-Thanks for everything Mr. F and I really hope I

make enough money so I can

afford one of your paintings.

Yeah, alright, go.

Alright, go on, have fun.

Make the world a better place.

You leaving?

I like to...

I like to swear, play music.

I hate giving grades.

Have a nice life.

I'm here if you want to talk.

Even if I'm not...

here.

Can I show you something?

It's really good.

So, I raped you?

I could have any girl in

this school, I wanted.

Willingly.

Why would I rape you?

You're not even attractive.

You really screwed things

up for me, you know that?

Now you are going to go to every single person

in this school and tell them that you lied.

You are going to tell them!

My eyes!

Get off me!

What's going on in there?

Open this door now!

Come out, Melinda.

It's Melinda Sordino.

-Are you okay?

-What the hell is wrong with you?

Answer me!

Everybody knows what you did.

Say something, a**hole!

Please, please.

I can't see!

Please move.

I can't see anything!

I can't open my eyes!

What's going on down there?

What happened?

Melinda?

Dad changed his flight.

He's going to be home

in a few hours.

Why?

I mean, I'm fine.

Really.

I am.

Well you don't have to talk

about it, if you don't want to.

No.

I want to tell you about it.

Last year.

I went to this party at the end of the year...
