- Oh, he is so cute.

- So cute.

Make my dreams come true

Take me away

Look.

'Cause falling in love

ain't very far

If marshmallows were a boy,

they'd so be Ritchie.

Oh, gosh!

Less lusting, more chugging.

You two are so beyond lame.

Hi, sis. Get out.

Oh, look! You're having

a date with your TV.

And piles of trash.

This isn't trash!

This is a highly organized system

of bottles and labels.

See, we're doing

this 5 Leo Rise shift label drive,

and the school

that collects the most labels

gets to have the band

come to the school!

And the kids that collected

the most labels get to meet the band,

talk to the band,

look at the band...

Shut up!

You know, after spending

a semester in Italy,

American boys

just don't do it for me anymore.

Excuse me, girl gone wild,

why don't you take

your sexploits and go?

We're busy.

Gladly, loser.

Hey, Devon.

- Is that my T-shirt?

- No.

Yeah, it is!

I want it off and in my room

in five minutes, or you're so dead.

I can't believe my parents are leaving

me alone with her for the weekend!

Well, she doesn't have

to take it out on Mason!

Love at first sight

So, what are you going to say

to Mason when you meet him?

Oh, don't jinx it!

- We're so gonna lose. I know it!

- Are you kidding?

You've been snipping labels

morning, noon, and night,

volunteering

at the recycling center...

Not just for the labels.

Recycling is important

for the future of our planet.

Gabs, relax.

We got this concert in the bag.

What the hell are you doing

in my locker?

Nothing. "Ritchie loves

hanging out with his friends,

grabbing a bite to eat

after every show. "

Give it!

That's some fascinating stuff

you're reading there.

Tell me, Lincoln, when does

the breaking-and-entering phase

of your obnoxious little life end?

Right after you get over

these lip-synching wussies.

- I mean, look.

- They don't lip-synch!

That's just weird.

What's on the schedule

for today, Pete?

I'm downloading the latest

masterpiece onto the Internet.

The Hesterson High

goat kidnapping.

You heard about that, right?

We snatched their mascot

in, like, three minutes flat,

and we got it all on tape.

Check it out.

This is Pete, and this is

the Hesterson goat kidnapping.

- I got him!

- Go! Go! Go! Go!

That's awesome.

That's enough.

I'm telling you, when that baby

goes up on my website,

I'm going to get, like,

50,000 profile views.

The chicks are going to be on me.

- Pranks are lame.

- Baby girl, don't be jealous.

Look, me and you, we'll always

have our thing, you know?

I mean, our chemistry's like this.

Especially after we had

our first little bath together.

I was two years old, you freak.

I know, but you kept grabbing

for my rubber ducky and stuff...

Mention it again and you're dead.

Whoa, you got to be

a little bit more gentle with me.

I'm fragile, all right?

- You getting this on tape?

- Got it.

So, look, we still on

for homecoming or what?

We'll talk about it later.

It's cool.

She's just holding out

for the limo.

Yeah.

Two more times.

Lincoln is so my nemesis.

Still, he did ask you

to homecoming.

I'm just saying,

I wish I had a nemesis to ask me.

Excuse you.

Oh, hi, Kira. Nice shoes.

Did I tell you to stop running?

Not you, Gabs.

Kira, what do you want?

As president

of the student council,

I'm heading up

the 5 Leo Rise label drive

this afternoon,

and since you two don't have

anything better to do with...

your pathetic little lives...

- You guys are lame.

- I know.

I'm expecting

a lot of labels from you two.

Okay?

I cannot wait to meet

5 Leo Rise.

Lainey!

God, did you hear that?

We have not been scouring

garbage cans and Dumpsters

for the last few weeks

just so those two glamazons

can take all the credit.

So, that's how she stays so fit.

Come on! People!

We need more labels, okay?

Today is the last day.

- The last day.

- Yeah.

- Who's...

- What?

Excuse me.

Who is that?

- Is that a garbage truck?

- Gross.

I know. Stinky.

Watch your feet!

Official school business.

Coming through!

We're totally going to win this!

This is... our contribution.

How many are there?

Well, we lost count after

the first few hundred thousand,

but if you take the gross tare weight

and divide it by. 37 ounces for the...

Okay, okay, okay.

Save the soliloquy, learner's permit.

We need a number.

- 519,672.

- Approximately.

Wow.

Can I just say that you two are, like,

the coolest sophomores ever?

Ever, yeah.

- And I totally mean that.

- She does.

Not so fast.

We get to be a part

of the presentation,

and we get to meet the band...

or no labels.

Fine.

Ladies and gentlemen,

5 Leo Rise is coming to Highland!

Good morning, everybody.

You are listening to 97.1.

Where is DJ Tricky Trent?

Why, he's at Highland High School!

Yo, yo, what's up?

Yeah! Oh!

Yeah, I love your enthusiasm.

DJ Tricky Trent in the hizzee!

Loving you!

Splashing around a bucket of love,

and it's landing right on you.

Highland High School,

let me hear you scream!

Breathe and believe,

breathe and...

- Gabby.

- Breathe...

- Gabby. Gabby.

- Yeah.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

It's just a little mantra to keep me

from freaking out with nervousness.

Excuse me.

- Hey... Kira.

- What?

I just thought it would be a cool idea

if we just had some sparklers

when the curtains opened.

Gabby, this is high school,

not the Fourth of freakin' July, okay?

Lainey, come on.

Okay, I tried.

She didn't like it.

I didn't like it.

It was a bad idea.

I should never have said anything.

- Gabby.

- What?

Give me that sparkler.

Yeah, I think...

I think I'm perfect.

- Like, so good.

- Like, more than perfect.

- Way perfect.

- What would you call that?

Cool.

Cheerleader Kira Castle

and Lainey Fox!

Her hair! The labels!

Fire extinguisher.

Fire extinguisher!

Kira, drop and roll!

- Drop and roll!

- Can we open that curtain, please?

I don't know if those burnt labels

are going to count.

It was Gabby!

She did it!

Come on, Gabs, yell at me.

Say something.

All I feel is peace.

It can't get any worse.

I'll make it up to you, I swear.

Thanks, but I've been branded "loser"

for the rest of my life.

You're going to be late for chem lab,

and you know how upset you get

when you don't have

your favorite Bunsen burner.

Oh, thatagirl.

Okay, coast is clear.

Come on.

Where do you think you're going,

you little soph-whores?

The other way.

Excuse me.

Kira's talking to you.

Keep going, keep going.

You can't escape me.

Not that way. Oh, gosh.

Check it out.

Hi, Kira. Cute scarf.

Don't try to suck up to me

after what you did.

Actually it was my fault.

Gabby didn't...

I know what happened.

Nice try, Girl Scout.

I was there.

She had the sparklers.

Me too.

I'm, like, a witness.

But the...

But... but... but what, Gabby?

I am going to have to get

hair extensions now.

Do you have any idea

how much that costs?

Not nearly as much

as it will be to fix your face.
