Kendal Strickland never felt

threatened.

If anything, she felt a deep sense of

pity for this rebound girl.

Not in a competitive way

she wasn't the type to show off.

That said, she couldn't help

her own popularity.

It wasn't her fault that one year

she was voted homecoming queen

of a neighboring high school.

Yes, Kendal Strickland was attractive;

that was obvious.

Other girls were so insecure,

stressing about their faces and

their figures.

Not Kendal.

Hers was an effortless beauty that

glowed from within.

However, being that beautiful could also be

intimidating.

Some guys went for

girls who were more ordinary.

How could Kendal make sure her own

perfection

wouldn't scare away

Ryan,

the love of her life?

Whats up?

-What are you doing?

-Well.

Heres that book for your niece

Oh yeah. Thanks for remembering.

Ill send it to her.

Theres a character in this one

that I based on you.

-what?

In the book.

I mean, I named him

Ashby, but its so blatantly you.

When you read it, itll be

obvious.

I hope hes cool.

Were not even supposed to do that.

Were supposed to stick to this character bible

-Hey! Nice to see you again.

- You too.

Wow, there it is...

-Adorable.

-Thank you.

Do you guys want drinks?

just water

- Can you bring me another Summer Ale?

- sure

Its fine, Ill just pump and dump

after the show.

Dont worry, Im

not trying to get my kid hammered.

Wow, look at that.

Ah yes, the Funquarium.

Always chills her out.

-Were starting to get smiles.

-Cute.

Shes like Buddys clone.

I can see you in there.

-Really?

-A lot of you, in fact.

- Thank you.

- Ladies?

So, hows it going?

I know youre a writer. I saw that nice article

about you in the Sun.

Yes, Im the author of a

young adult series.

Its disturbingly popular.

I like your decor, what is this,

shabby chic?

- Pier one.

-And a little bit Goodwill.

Me and Buddy used to go thrifting

all the time.

Remember that in the 90s,

We had a huge stupid T-shirt collection.

Just the dumbest things.

-The 90s were awesome.

Yes.

Yes, I used to sleep in Buddys

shirts. And boxers.

I still have a few, I think.

Hey, I still have one of my

ex-boyfriends T-shirts.

-I cant bring myself to get rid of it.

-What? What?

I can not tell you.

What is this painting?

Beth teaches special needs kids.

A lot of my kids learn emotions

cognitively.

It doesnt come naturally to them

the way it does for you or me.

So we need to show

them:

This is what happy looks like.

This is what anxious looks like. And so on.

How about, like, neutral?

What if

you dont feel anything?

Thats kind of how they are a lot

of the time, so. Yeah. Dont need to teach it.

Oh my God.

Is that Mavis Gary?

Yeah, can you believe it? She came

with Beth and Buddy.

Psychotic prom queen b*tch.

Come time for tequila.

Salt.

-So are they any good?

Yes, it's fine.

I know this look.

It's terrible. I knew it.

But they have fun.

Hey, look,

Freehaufs over there.

hes always just lurking

around, isnt he? So creepy!

Look at his face. Hes so doughy.

He looks like a murderer.

he looks like he might own a

few clown suits.

My God, you're awful!

-Dark.

-No.
