The Outcasts Page #8

Even after all of the horrible

crap that you put me through,

I still tried because

I was stupid enough

to feel bad for you.

Do you think I actually care

what these people think of me?

High school is over.

I just wanted you two to know

before we all left that I won,

that I will always win

and whenever I want

I can take away that which you

hold most dear and crush it

and it barely took any push at all

to turn you two into Cain and Abel.

Frankly, I think I did you a favor,

otherwise this little horror show

likely would have dragged

on for another few years

before you two cut your

losses and moved on.

Maybe she's right.

It was stupid to think that

we would still be friends

after high school.

You're gonna do your thing,

I'm gonna do mine and,

and in 10 years we'll see

each other at the reunion

and smile.

Maybe that's the way

it's supposed to be.

If that's how you really feel,

then maybe we should just

stop avoiding the inevitable

and end this right now.

It is how I feel.

Well that hurts.

Not as bad as that.

Oh you gotta be kidding me.

And with that the revolution was over.

The police let me go, calling

Lipschitzium a misguided

but ultimately harmless prank.

After a hefty suspension,

Mindy returned to school

and all the cliques returned

to how they'd been before.

Yep.

I drugged prom.

Every scientist has one great regret.

Look at Oppenheimer.

So I had time to do some thinking

while I was in the clink.

It wasn't just an adolescent

right of passage I ruined,

I destroyed all the good I did.

I had an opportunity

to really change things

and when it came down to it,

I was no different than Whitney Bennett.

I'm not gonna tell you

it was okay what you did.

But I understand.

It's hard feeling like

you're giving your best

and people don't value you.

There are always gonna be jerks.

That doesn't change after high school.

And you can spend your

life trying to beat them

or prove them wrong

or get even with them,

but that's all wasted energy.

What you need to do is figure out what

and who is important to

you and fight for that.

The rest doesn't matter.

Yes, yes!

Mr. Flemming.

Jodi Shallenberger, is it Jodi?

Jodi Shallenberger!

Oh my god!

I couldn't.

What are you doing here?

I couldn't let you go in

there without you knowing

how proud I am of you.

Mindy.

I got into MIT today and

it didn't mean anything

because you weren't there

to celebrate with me.

I don't know how things

got so messed up.

Okay no, I do know.

I went totally Dr. Strangelove.

But the thing you said about

us being high school friends.

You're not my high school friend.

You're my best friend.

We're the radical two.

You will always know

about the face plant I got

that got me this dental bridge.

You will always know I prefer

odd numbers to even.

I don't know where life will take us.

Hopefully, hopefully

to the 2020 Grammy's

and the first human settlement on Mars.

But it doesn't matter because all I know

is that I want you

in my life for all of it.

I am so sorry and I'm back.

I'm so sorry I was too busy

exploring my sexuality.

It's okay, sexuality is important.

Oh my god.

Oh I am so glad you're here,

you have no idea.

I'm totally freaking out.

Look at me.

Remember science fair finals.

I was so nervous, I could almost puke

on my bacteria cultures.

You made me do it.

Okay.

Get yourself together, Jodi.

I think I know what we have to do.

Oh!

Boom shaka laka laka,

boom shaka laka laka,

boom shaka laka laka boom.

We reach for the stars

'Cause you are my friend

And you're killing it every day

Miss Shallenberger.

Wait!

Do or do not, there is no try.

Right.

That's my best friend!

My best friend.

Star Wars quote, the end of it.

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Shh!

As I stand before you...

So high school was finally over.

And maybe it was just

the Stockholm syndrome

talking, but for the first time

I kind of felt like

I was gonna miss the place.

We had tried so hard to tear down

the entire system that we lost sight

of what our high school really was,

people, people on the inside,

people on the outside,

people learning who they are.

Who they want to be.

Who they don't want to be.

Are you serious?

Because no matter who you are.

The prom king, the fashionista,

or the future disgraced senator,

high school is the same.

It's the best of times.

It's the worst of times.

Full of wonderful people

and not so wonderful people.

And it's once in a lifetime.

And we made it through.

We did it.

We're members of society,

we have the diploma.

We can prove it to everyone.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, well done.

Well done to you too.

I'll call you, Wellesley.

All right, Penn State.

- You guys.

- Come on.

Hey guys.

- That was classic.

- Wait.

Hi.

Mindy, Jodi, Claire, Virginia.

Sugar, I was wondering if

you would perhaps honor me.

I'll see you this week, Martin.

Thank you.

Hey, the heart wants whatever

pasty, bespectacled thing

the heart wants and

don't you look so smug

because you know

what our next mission is,

getting you your first date.

Yes.

That's me.

I'll see you this week?

Deal.

Bye.

That's my driver.

Spill it.

What are you doing next year?

Little of this, little of that.

I'm just gonna see

where the wind takes me.

That girl's going into the CIA.

No doubt.

You ready, Dolores?

Don't even.

That woman birthed me.

She can call me whatever she wants.

- No problem, Dolores.

- Hey.

Pound it, Dolores.

We'll see you this summer,

Dolores, yeah?

We miss you already, Dolores!

Love you, Dolores!

Really strong pound, Dolores.

So Martin and Dolores.

Weird, right?

Who'd have thunk it?

- We gotta...

- Oh!

Wait.

I almost forgot.

Open it.

One economy class train ticket

from Boston to New York City.

Next year is going to be epic.

Next year?

We still got the summer.

Summer go to my place.

Oh you know it, whoo!

'Cause I know you

Oh it's been a week

since I fell apart

They say it's getting better

But if this is the end,

then when was the start?

They say it's getting better

Oh it's been a week

since I fell apart

They say it's getting better

But if this is the end,

then when was the start?

I can feel it in my bones

Oh the sanity is on the line

Well I should've gone,

I should've known

That you're out of sight,

out of mind

But I can't afford to lose the spot

Or you're keeping me all in the dark

Now I'm fading like a photograph

And I'm scared that

you're all I have

'Cause I know you

Oh it's been a week

since I fell apart

They say it's getting better

But if this is the end,

then when was the start?

They say it's getting better

They say it's getting better oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

They say it's getting better oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

'Cause I know you

But do you know me?

'Cause I know you

Oh it's been a week

since I fell apart

They say it's getting better

But if this is the end,

then when was the start?

They say it's getting better

They say it's getting better oh oh
