======
- Previously on awkward...

- This book had
a huge impact

On my journey
as a writer.

Maybe it can do the same
for you.

- Matty, this is
my friend bailey.

- Thank you for coming.

Prom.
- Prom.

- I just wanted
to make sure

That you were cool
with me asking bailey.

- So you want
to take bailey to prom.

- Is that okay?

- It's awesome.

Fantastic.
She's fantastic.

You're fantastic.
It's--it's fantastic.

She's gonna be stoked.
- You think so?

- Why wouldn't she?
You're matty mckibben.

And I was
jenna hamilton,

The idiot
who finally knew

She had permanently
messed up

The best relationship
she'd ever have.

[door closes]

- [laughs]
what did he say?

How did he ask?

- He's taking someone else.

- Oh.

Sweetie.

- Can I just be alone?

- Of course.

[sighs]

- I was a fool to think
all the bad

I had put
into the universe

Could so easily
be forgotten.

Matty's rebound
with devon

Had paved the way
for the real deal.

And the real deal was
not going to be me.

It was going
to be bailey.

[soft music]

♪

- I naively thought
I was finally back

On solid ground,
but the sad truth

Revealed that my foundation
was too weak

To handle
a simple rejection.

I was
falling apart, unraveling,

And there was nothing
I could do to stop it.

I had to make
a virtual escape.

At the height of my despair
over a boy,

I had strangely found solace
in the arms of a man--

Russell jonathan.

His tale
of self-destruction

Followed by eventual
self-redemption

Was like food
for my soul.

It was as if he was speaking
directly to me about me,

And all I wanted to do
was crawl back

Into the comfort
of his words.

So I did,

Because the book had become
my new obsession...

And distraction.

I was reading it over,
and over, and over again,

Using it
as my excuse

To excuse myself
from life.

It had become
my security blanket,

And I didn't want to leave
the safety of its pages.

- Earth to jenna.

You there?

- Hey, I was reading that.
- Uh, we know.

But when are you gonna
be done?

- I don't know.
Let's find out.

- How about engaging in life
for a minute?

Converse with your parents,
call your friends,

Or hell, at least read
another book

By the same guy.

- Oh, my god.
Genius.

That thought
hadn't even crossed my mind.

- No good deed
goes unpunished.

- The idea
that my new love affair

With russell jonathan
could continue

To grow and evolve
was beyond comprehension.

Not only was
I on a quest

To find out more
about his work,

I suddenly needed to know
everything about the man,

The man who was changing my life
word by word,

The man who just totally
and completely

Spoke to my heart,
the man who was maybe

My soul mate
and who was--

Mr. Hart?

I had been rocked.

The world as I knew it
was suddenly

Very unsettled
and confused.

Matty was taking bailey
to prom,

And I was possibly
having feelings

For my newfound
literary hero,

Russell jonathan,
aka mr. Hart.

Could it be
that hart's disgusting

And disgruntled demeanor
was just a facade

Hiding a uniquely
beautiful man?

Or was he just the most
brilliant writer

I had ever read?

Either way,
I felt bamboozled.

- All right.

You lucky
remaining half-wits,

We're gonna learn something
today called a "callback."

It's your last assignment
of the year.

Does anybody know
what that is?

Anyone?

Okay, let me give you
a clue.

What did I ask you
on the first day of class?

Peep show.

- You asked us
to give you permission

To torture us.

- Yes.
Yes, I did.

And have
you been tortured?

- I've been standing
in the hall

Every day
for the last two months.

- You see?
I was true to my word.

And my only hope
is that one day,

You'll all remember
to be true to yours.

But that wasn't
the question.

Anyone else?
- You asked if we were morons.

- I did, and you are,
but that's not it.

- What about the time you asked
if we were inbred?

- No, that was just
for you.

Seriously, guys.
It's not that hard.

Mr. Jennings,
no insightful retort?

- No.

- I have it.

You asked who we want
to be.

- And bingo was
his name-o.

Very good, so now,
it's time for all of you

To reflect
on the past year

And write me
an opus

About who you want
to be.

- [sighs]

- Due tomorrow.
[bell rings]

Tomorrow.

Hey, uh, hamilton.
Not so fast.

What was
that sigh about?

- I-I didn't sigh.

- Oh, you did.

- Okay, fine.

I sighed because I don't know
who I want to be,

Let alone
who I am.

But I do know
who you are, russ.

I had stoked
the fire

And let mr. Hart know
what I knew.

But what I still
didn't know was

If I was infatuated
with him.

I am struggling with
some strange romantic feelings.

- Mm.
Unrequited love.

- I don't know
if I would call it "love."

The feelings are
potentially irrational

And reactionary
towards feeling lonely,

Not to mention
the age difference

Is totally sketch.

- I'm pretty sure
I know

Who you're
talking about.

It's not that big
of an age difference.

- Are you kidding?
It's massive.

- Well, I guess
if we're counting in cat years.

- Did I mention that a union
would be illegal?

And gross?
- In what state?

Maybe delaware.
- What is wrong with me?

It's not like
I actually believe

That I'm in love with him
or anything.

Inspired, sure.

But is it possible
to love someone

Who enjoys
humiliating you?

- I'm not so sure
he enjoys it,

And remember
it takes two to tango.

- What?
I-I've never humiliated him.

- We could debate the details
all day,

But the truth is
you seem really pained

By this whole situation,
and frankly, I get it,

With everyone talking about it
and all.

- Eh--everyone knows?

I haven't told
a soul.

- Well, your mom told me.
- My mom knows?

- Yeah, and then
I told some kids

Who may or may not have
blabber of the mouth.

But come on,
did you really think

He was gonna ask you
to prom

After everything
that happened?

- Why would mr. Hart
ask me to prom?

- Mr. Hart?

Ugh.
No.

I'm not talking about
that old perv.

He's not even allowed
at the prom.

It's too much cleavage.

- Uh, then who are
you talking about?

- Matty.
I heard he dissed you.

- Everyone's talking
about that?

- Psh.

No.

Not everyone.

Mary at the front desk
didn't know

Until I told her.

Do you want
my advice?

Reinvent yourself

Before you're the butt
of everyone's joke.

- Seemed like val had gone back
to the crack pipe.

There was no way I was the butt
of everyone's joke.

No one cared what happened
with me and matty.

- Finally, jenna got
a wake-up call.

She's not all that.

- Matty definitely
traded up.

Bailey parker's the new
and improved version of jenna.

- Yeah, what did
jenna expect

After being so selfish
and insensitive?

Karma's a bitch.

- Karma had been a bitch,
and so had I,

Which meant there was no room
for a pity committee.

- I deserved the bum rap
and the pain

That came along
with it.

[knocks at door]
- jenna?

- Yeah?
- Why are you holing up in here?

- Just feels more comfortable
in the toilets

Since I feel
like [bleep].

- The rumor's
not that bad.

I mean,
no one really cares.

[toilet flushes]

- Omg, they do.

Everyone's been rooting
for jenna to f.O.H.F.

- F.O.H.F?
- Fall on her face.

- Eh, good try,
but no.

- Don't listen to her.
She is old and out of touch.

- No, I'm out of touch.
- It's my fault.

I had the wrong intel
on the prom ask.

When jake said matty was
about to ask someone,

I just assumed
it was you.

I'm the one
who got your hopes up.

- Not if I was already living
in la-la land.

I've been in denial.

- Please come out.

I promise no one will mention
prom at our lunch table.

- Prom, I don't know
what I'm gonna do about it.

- Sorry, forgot
to give her the memo.

- It's okay.
So what's the deal?

- Sex, it's as if
it's in the fine print

Of every prom ticket,

But I'm not ready.

- Easy, use a sexcuse.
- Sexcuse?

- Sex excuse.
- For example?

- You're tired.
- Sweaty.

- Hairy.
- Which means scary.

- Or just go
with the irrefutable.

- Something commonly practiced

From the beginning
of time.

- Which is?
Both: You have your period.

- Oh, man.
Sucks to be you.

So anyway, jenna,
are you coming with us?

- Alone?
- Sure.

We took tamara for the formal
last year.

Why can't we take you
this year?

- That's a great idea.

- And really nice,

But I don't wanna be
in the way

Or make things uncomfortable
with matty and bailey.

- You won't.
They're not even going.

I think he changed
his mind.

- And I had changed
my attitude.

Hope was alive, and well,
and still on the premises.

[bell rings]

- With matty plus none
for the dance,

I had to find a way
to become his plus one.

But I needed more intel
on his state of mind,

And to get it,
I needed reinforcements.

- That sounds complicated.

- It's not complicated

Because the only guy for me
is jc,

And I only see him
at church.

And there's no way
he's going to prom,

So you, austin, and I
should all go together.

- What are we gonna do,

Be a three-way freak show

Where you hold my hips
as I slow dance with austin?

- [gasps]
oh, that sounds fun.

[giggles]
- no, it doesn't.

You're giving me anxiety
which I don't need

Because I've gained
three pounds,

And I promised austin

I wouldn't
scarf and barf anymore.

- He knows?
- Yes, he knows everything.

His lack of a social filter
also comes

With a lack of judgment.

He just likes me
for me.

And now, I've moved
into a sphere

Beyond like for him.

Liss, I think
I'm in love.

- No.
- Yes.

- No, really,
now you're freaking me out.

- Why?
- Because you're you.

And you are not a lover.
- Yes, I am.

- No, you're not.
- Stop saying that.

- You stop saying it.
- I love austin.

And I am freaking out.
I even have butterflies.

And I hate butterflies.

And if you tell anyone I'm
having this soft side moment,

I swear
I will cut you.

- [sighs]
you're back.

Thank goodness.
I was starting to worry.

- Ah.
What's with the sneak attack?

- Oh, no one's sneaking.
- Or attacking.

But we have some questions.
- Okay.

- We suspect you've withheld
some pertinent information

About matty
and bailey.

- Babe, I just found out
earlier in the day,

So now you know
all that I know.

So you don't need
to wig out.

- We're not wigging,
but rather wondering

If matty's reason
for changing his mind

Had anything to do
with another girl.

- I.E. Jenna.
- I don't know.

- You know.
- No, I don't.

- Then, I do.
Jenna, it's clear.

Matty never wanted
to ask bailey.

He was just trying to suss out
how you felt

And see
if you still cared.

He was completely angling
to get a rise out of you.

He was waiting for you
to contest

So he could
spring the ask on you.

But you didn't contest,
so he didn't ask.

Following?
- Yeah.

- No.

- It's girl world, babe.
Just tune out until I'm done.

So the whole thing
was a ruse.

He's waiting for you
to say something.

And now's your shot.

Say something
and get that ask.

- You think
that's a good idea?

- No.
- Yes.

- In boy world,
we don't think that hard.

- Yeah, you do.
- [scoffs]

- Matty is the quiet,
contemplative type,

And I feel
extremely confident

He's waiting for an opening
to ask you

And just you,
so go.

Get that ask.

What?

- Why do you always have
to steamroll me?

- I didn't mean to.
I'm sorry.

- You always have to be
in control of everything.

- No, I don't.
- Yeah, you do.

- Try me.

- Fine.

I'm gonna wear
a colored tux to prom.

- [sighs]
great.

What color?

- It's a surprise.

- Can't wait to see it.
- Ah.

- Mm-hmm.

- If tamara's reasoning
was correct,

Matty was waiting
for an opening from me,

Which meant I had to do my best
to give him one

And be as subtle
as possible about it.

Matty.
Hey.

I need a date to prom.
Any ideas?

So subtlety wasn't
my strong suit.

- I will have
to think it over.

- He was playing
hard to get.

Okay, well,
how about thinking

About someone you'd wanna share
a limo with

So we can
ride together?

- I'm not going.
- Oh, no.

Why?
Don't you want to go?

- I did,
but not anymore.

- How come?

- Bailey said "no."

And honestly, there's
no one else I wanna ask.

But I will put
my thinking cap on for you,

And we'll find you
a date.

- So there would be
no date,

No dance,

Just devastation.

- I had to write
my last paper,

But all I wanted to do
was hole up and hide.

I couldn't write about
who I wanted to be

When I felt so far away
from who I was,

Who I used to be.

That girl who used
to be selfless

Had become selfish,
and in turn

Was all alone
without a prom date,

A perfect boyfriend,
or a great new friend,

A friend
that I had overtly avoided

And ignored
for the last few days,

Assuming she was
matty's new girl.

I suddenly had
two assignments--

To say something
on the page

And to bailey
in person.

But I didn't know how
or where to begin,

And I was getting sick
of whining about it.

So I was left with only
one last resort--

Procrastination.

- Stop making excuses.
- About what?

- About what you wanna do
after the prom.

I sense you're nervous,
and I think I know why.

- I'm not nervous.
- You can't lie to me.

Listen, I know
what you're thinking,

And I just want you
to be comfortable.

- Really?
- Yeah.

And the night comes
with a lot of pressure,

And you don't have
to do anything

That compromises
who you are.

- Really?
Because I was getting worried.

- Don't be.
- [giggles]

- I'm totally cool
with you wearing a pantsuit.

- Oh, go--od.

- Yeah, you totally don't need
to sweat it.

I'm man enough
to feel like a man

Next to my woman
in pants.

- Okay.

- We're gonna have
a great time,

Especially once we get back
to our hotel room.

- Bailey.

Hey.
Both: I'm sorry.

- Why are you sorry?

- I thought you would never
talk to me again.

After I heard
all those rumors

About you, and matty,
and me,

I was devastated.

I just want you
to know

That after matty asked me
to the prom,

I called you
to make sure

You heard it
from me first.

- I already knew.
- You knew?

- Matty told me, and I just
assumed you said "yes,"

Which is why
I avoided your calls.

I was a lame friend
for not giving you

The benefit
of the doubt.

- No, I was
the lame friend

Who apparently gave
the wrong signal

To your ex-boyfriend.

But I said "no"
right away.

There was never even a moment
where I offered to go.

- So you don't like matty?
- I do.

He's a great guy, but...

[sniffles]

Jenna, you are
my only friend.

And I would never, ever
do anything to hurt you.

- So you turned him down
to not hurt me?

- Of course.

- I had been
in my own personal hell

For so long
that I had stopped believing

In random acts
of kindness.

And there,
right in front of me,

Was the greatest act
of kindness

I had seen
in a long time.

And thus, I was inspired
to return the favor.

- Do me a solid.
- Sure.

- Dry your eyes
and stay here.

Eh--mm, hm.

Three people
didn't have to forgo the prom

If one person
could just get out of the way.

So here's the deal.

Bailey said "no"
to avoid hurting me.

What she doesn't know

Is that you asked my permission,
and I was cool with it

Because I am cool.

I really want you guys
to go together.

Bailey,
will you go with matty?

- This is weird.
- Agreed.

- Again, my fault.
I'm making it weird.

But it doesn't have to be
if you guys just go together.

Both: I don't know.

- I can easily
make this weird all day,

Or you can end the pain
and just go to prom together.

- I'm in
if you're in.

- I'm cool with it.
I swear.

- She's in.

- I'm in.

Thank you for asking.

Both of you.

Now, go.
You guys have plans to make.

[slow clapping]

- Bravo.

That was one
stellar performance.

And I've gotta hand it
to you,

You pulled it off
with complete sincerity.

- I was sincere.

- Don't even try to bull[bleep]
a bull[bleep]er.

- Go ahead.
Slaughter me.

- I don't need to.
You just slaughtered yourself.

And it was excruciating...

Ly awesome to watch,

Which is why I bet
hart's last assignment

Was easy for you
to write.

It appears
who you wanna be

Is already
who you are--pathetic.

You're welcome.

- Ha.

That paper wasn't easy
to write.

Because there was
no paper.

[bell rings]

- Okay, time's up.

Turn in those disastrous
diatribes, please.

- Thanks for the assignment.
[sighs]

I feel like I got out
some demons.

- Somehow, I find that hard
to believe.

- So she speaks.
- I do.

- Have you finally gotten past
your hatred of me?

- I don't
hate you, collin.

And believe me,
I've tried.

But the truth is

I can't hate someone
I don't care about.

- Well, that was
rather dramatic.

- Sorry.
It was a waste of your time.

It was garbage, phoned in,
and written last-minute.

- I have eyes,
I saw you scribble that thing

Like it was the grand prix
of writing over the last hour.

- Just give me a zero.
- No.

- I can't write the assignment.
- That's not acceptable.

- Well, you're just gonna
have to accept it.

- Ms. Hamilton, sometimes,
you don't get to call the shots.

- I am not a brilliant writer
like you.

I can't just write poetry
in a vacuum.

- I never said
I wanted poetry in a vacuum.

I merely asked you
to answer

A simple question
that I know you can.

- I can't

Because I don't know
who I want to be.

I ruined my life,
alienated the people in it,

And now I am...

- Lost?

- Let me tell you
a story.

So there was
this guy.

He was maybe a few years older
than you.

He thought
he was a tough guy.

Thought he knew it all.

So he sat down
and wrote a story,

A killer story,

And the whole
literary world agreed--

This guy
knew it all.

They even called him
the new salinger.

So he bought
the bs.

And then, he started to piss off
everybody that he cared about.

He was the writer
of his own ruin

Because he thought
he could do no wrong

Until he wrote
his second novel.

And then,
he was torn apart,

Lambasted as
a one-hit wonder.

[laughs]

Some critics even questioned
if the same guy

Wrote both books.

So you know
what he did?

- What?
- He quit.

He gave up

Because despite
knowing it all,

He wasn't
a tough guy.

He even changed
his name

After he let the critics
destroy him.

And the day he decided
to take his head out of his ass,

He did the best thing
he could.

- Became a teacher.
- Yes.

Because he wanted to teach kids
with talent

How to face criticism

And discover that success
isn't about winning.

It's about staying
in the game,

Not quitting,

Or letting someone
make you quit.

Does that make sense?

- So you're not a [bleep]?
- No, I'm a [bleep].

But I'm a [bleep] who has
a method to his madness.

And I want you to realize
that all the hardship

And all the criticism
that you face

Is making you
a better writer

And a better person.

So don't quit now
before you learn

That no matter
what you do

Or where you go,

You can't escape yourself.

- Turns out I was feeling
something for mr. Hart.

But it wasn't love.

It was respect.

- Now take the weekend,
but turn that paper in.

- Damn, tuxes are
a pretty penny.

- [sighs]
how 'bout renting two?

I can't believe the guy
wouldn't let me

Exchange the black one
for my tamara surprise.

- Well, now, you can make
the mid-prom wardrobe change

You've always dreamed of.

- A-ha, ha.
Oh, how you know me.

- You really think that joke
is worth it?

- It's not a joke.
It's a lesson.

Tamara needs to learn that
she can't control everything.

- Starting with you
in a clown suit.

- Damn straight.

- So bailey.

Is this just
a date?

Or is
she girlfriend material?

- Mm.

Too early to tell.

But there's something
really cool about her.

She's just less insecure
than other girls, you know?

And for whatever reason,
makes me nervous.

- [laughs]

So you've been doing
a lot of pit sniffing?

- Maybe.
[both laugh]

She's the first girl
I've hung out with

Who doesn't make me
miss jenna.

[bleep]
- what?

- Jenna asked me
to help her get a date,

And I totally spaced.

- Nah, don't sweat it.
It was a ploy.

Jenna was trying to get you
to ask her.

She wanted to go
with you.

- It was
a last-ditch effort.

We just figured
if we got you a ticket,

You'd come
with us tonight.

- And wear what?
A dress cut in half?

- Or something
in your mom's closet.

- Nothing in my mom's closet
is appropriate.

Besides, I have to finish
my paper this weekend,

And I haven't
even started.

- You can do that tomorrow,
but tonight,

You are gonna borrow
the perfect dress

That I can't wear
and isn't returnable,

'cause I had to buy
a black sack,

'cause I have no idea
what color jake is wearing

And I don't
wanna clash.

Although I guess black
is appropriate,

Seeing as I'm already
mourning the loss

Of my magic night.

- Don't say "magic night."
it's a cliche.

I mean, explain to me
why sex is considered magic.

And why does everyone have
to have it after prom?

Why can't we just play
[bleep]ing mah-jongg instead?

- Easy, girl.
You're at an 11.

- [sighs]
you're right.

I need to take it back
to a six,

Especially since I have
a foolproof plan

To avoid
operation: Panty drop.

- Explain.

- I told fred
that part of the deal

Of going to prom meant having
dinner with my parents first.

And once they confirm
that he has a penis--

'cause he's a boy--
I'm gonna get an--

Both: Early curfew.

- Foolproof.

[sighs]

- [laughs]

Everything's so delicious
and healthy.

Do you steam
everything you eat?

- Steam is good
for body.

- Is that why you have such
a lovely figure?

- Are you checking out
my mom?

- What?
No.

Not that you don't have
a lovely one.

But that would
be inappropriate.

- And yet,
you did it.

- You know what's awesome
about fred?

- Oh, finally.

- He's not a conformist.

He's an asian kid
who doesn't play an instrument,

Doesn't get particularly
good grades,

And he might wanna go
to art school.

- [laughs]
it's--it's--it's--

That is if business school
doesn't work out.

- I'm gonna pass out.

- That's a good sign.

That means
you're getting dehydrated,

And your organs are starting
to shrivel up.

- Is that dangerous?
- Absolutely.

But your stomach
will be flat...Er.

Anyway, you're
almost there,

And in 20 more minutes,
you'll finally look good

In that dress.

- 20 more minutes?
- Suck it up.

Big girls don't cry.
- Whore.

- Bitch.
