Come on, Malika, answer the phone.

Are Mom and Dad up?

Uh, yeah. I think I heard the bathroom.

Where's Malika?

She had to catch an early bus.

Actually, she's right here.

Morning, Seth.

I hope you had a great time with your boyfriend. So much for being home by

sunrise. I lost track of time.

You could have got me in so much trouble. I'm sorry, but you know how it

parents don't let me do anything.

And next time, I'll cover for you. Monica, you don't understand. My parents

think that I'm trouble and that you're perfect. They're hoping that you'll

change me. Trust me.

I'll have you back in your parents' good books in no time.

As long as you don't mind covering for me once in a while.

What do you think?

That this might be the beginning of an amazing friendship.

If I hold out, I know I can make it through.

We need to talk.

Do we now? Yeah. Yesterday, I won that game. I proved that Bianca isn't a

distraction, and yet you guys still treat her like trash.

We didn't treat her like trash.

Our girlfriends just don't like her, all right?

We didn't want things to get weird.

Are you that worried about what your girlfriends think?

Is that something personal against her?

No, I mean, I barely know her. Yeah, that's right.

All you know is her reputation, and she's not like that at all.

So what do you say?

Coffee at the dot after school?

Please, for me.

Okay, it's gonna be a tough sell.

Let's go practice.

Ma. Pipe down, sweetheart.

I've got your breakfast right here.

Thanks, but I'm not hungry.

Are you feeling all right?

You look a little pale.

I was hoping we could talk about yesterday.

When Zane was here and you walked in.

Did you two get any studying done? Studying? No.

Zane left in a hurry.

You saw us, right? Yeah, you two goofing off. Ma, we weren't goofing off. You

sure looked like you weren't doing homework.

Now eat.

You're going to be late for school.

But Ma. No buts, mister. Eat.

Morning, tiny dancer. Still got those moves?

You tell me.

So, what are you doing after school?

Just gonna go blow off some steam.

You should come. It's gonna be a huge jam.

Can't. Basketball finals.

But when we win, we're going to celebrate, and I want you to be there.

You get hit in the head last night?

The team doesn't want me there.

I've got a plan.

The dot, after school, a little icebreaker.

You want to keep hanging out, right?

Yeah. Well, it would be a lot easier if you and my friends didn't hate each

other's guts.

So, can we try and get along?

You're lucky you're hot.

Oh, I hope there's no garlic in that tzatziki. Hey.

I'm sorry you had to come out to your mom like that.

What did she say?

Nothing.

Wait.

Your mom catches you making out with a guy and she says nothing? It's like

nothing happened.

So I guess you're having out?

I mean, if your mom wants to pretend like she saw nothing, let her.

Come out when you're ready.

I don't want to pretend anymore.

Well, then you've got to find a way to help your mom fake the facts.

So after Boiler gained a dump through, which really sucked.

God, he's so beautiful.

Stupid, but beautiful.

Why is it the cute ones always are?

I know, right?

It feels so good to vent.

So, are we really going to pray?

Hilarious. It's just the perfect excuse for the school's two Muslim students to

get a little fresh air.

Smoking on school property.

Do you want?

No, I'm good.

Hold this for a sec.

Okay, smoking is bad enough, but smoking during prayer break, that's like haram

plus.

Throw it away.

Here. Aliyah?

Are you smoking?

But, Mom, it's not mine, I swear.

Allie, don't lie to your mom.

I come to meet your new principal, and I find you smoking. But it's not mine.

Here, take it.

You're going to apologize to your principal, and then we're going home.

But, Mom... Come with me.

Now.

Ma! I'm going for a run!

You gonna shoot another three tonight?

That's the plan.

Jenna, you know Bianca, right?

Oh, how's the pregnancy?

Um, so far, so good. Well, you look great.

Barely bigger than before.

What Bianca meant to say is that you're perfect.

Now and then. Totally. I thought you were an idiot for buying those diet

Great, though I'm fat and stupid.

Becca didn't mean that. I swear, I didn't. I told you this was a bad idea.

on, Jenna, chill out. Dude, don't talk to my girlfriend like that. She's being

unreasonable. Oh, better that than a skank who takes boys to the boiler room.

I tried.

But I'm not going to listen to these guys talk crap about me.

Way to make her feel welcome.

She said one thing wrong and you guys jumped on her. She called me fat. She

wasn't wrong. I'm pregnant.

You guys think you're so much better than her.

You're going to be parents at 15.

Real winners.

You know what?

Bianca's great.

You guys are the problem.

Ma.

Thanks for cleaning my room.

I swear, if it wasn't for me, you'd never see the floor in here.

Is there anything you want to talk about?

Only how lucky you are to have a mom who still cleans your room.

Anything else?

Nothing comes to mind.

You gonna shower before dinner?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to insult Jenna.

I really tried.

Yeah, but my friends didn't.

I just can't believe I have to play basketball with them and hang out with

You don't have to go.

It's just a team.

They'd totally lose without you.

You're free?

As a bird. I'm just gonna chill out here.

Maybe do some magic mushrooms?

Drugs?

Not now, Ron Ron. My boy here doesn't ride that train.

He's missing out.

Besides, don't you have that big game to play?

Yes, as you're feeling me be.

Serve those guys right if I didn't show.

Okay.

Let's do it.

Evidence. Mission failed, Sam. Mission failed big time.

Your mom found these, and she still didn't say anything?

If my mom wants to live in a fantasy world where her straight son reads Hunk

magazine, maybe that's okay.

Really? So next fall, when you enroll at Eastern as an openly gay quarterback,

I'll be far away from home.

My mom can pretend whatever she wants.

Ever thought about telling your dad?

What's the point?

Might as well ride it out for the next six months.

So, date night tonight?

I can't.

Dad and I are hitting up the baseball game.

Father -son tradition.

Um, rain check?

Sure.

Um, this cigarette with Malika is not mine. You have to believe me.

You promised you would change.

We gave you a second chance and you threw it in our faces. I have changed,

all this bad stuff just keeps happening to me. Yes, it's always someone else's

fault, isn't it?

This time it was.

How can I believe you? Because everything I've done since leaving

to earn your respect.

I need you to listen.

You've maligned Malika. You've earned a suspension.

When does it end?

It never started, but you and Dad are so convinced that I'm such a terrible

person that there's nothing I can do.

This school isn't going to straighten you out like we'd hoped.

The cigarette wasn't mine.

Your father's going to be so disappointed.

Just go to your room, please. I can't listen to any more of your lies.

You could be a baseball star on a beautiful team.

With laughter curling softly.

So there's this invisible box, right?

It's got four sides and a top.

And now I'm going to put it on top of your head.

That's amazing.

I know, right?

My mouth is really dry.

Really, really dry. Is my mouth supposed to get this dry?

Hmm.

Almost game time.

Game time?

Wouldn't it be awesome tomorrow though? I'll be crying. Where were you, Drew? We

lost. Why didn't you save us? Coach was so let down.

I don't know. I've got to get out of here.

What? Now everything's fine.

No, I can't miss the game. I can't let the team down.

Okay, you can't be playing anything right now.

Streams are just starting to kick in.

This gets worse.

I'm so stupid for letting you talk to me into this.

Calm down. Calm down? My mom is going to be a game.

If I miss it, she's going to kill me.

I'm so stupid for letting you talk to me into this. Everyone was right about

you.

Mom, just listen. I'm done discussing it.

When Dad comes home, we're all going to sit down and talk about this.

Don't bother your father with this.

Mom. Don't!

Where were you?

Doesn't matter. I'm here now, right?

Is it thirsty in here or is it just me?

You sure you're okay to play, bro?

Sure.

I just can't look at my hands, that's all.

Stop it.

What's wrong with you? Are you...

On something?

I know. You're acting kind of funny, bro.

Are you high?

No, but why?

I don't believe you.

Yeah, great.

Okay, maybe you should come with me.

Okay. Let's go.

Hey. Hey.

Thanks for meeting me here.

What happened at the baseball game?

My dad went without me.

I told my mom I was gay and she refused to talk.

Even forbade me to tell my dad.

That sucks.

Yeah.

What else can I do?

Give her time?

This is all new to your mom.

I mean, how long did it take you to accept yourself?

Forever.

But you got there.

Where would I be without you?

You've come a long way and so will your parents, eventually.

What are you doing tomorrow night?

You want to catch a game with me?

Just try to stop me.

Are you on drugs?

Drew? Answer the question.

Sorry. What question?

Are you high?

Yes, ma 'am.

Very.

What did you take?

Would you stop staring at my shirt?

I'm going to go tell the coach you're not feeling well. You stay here.

Am I in trouble?

Big, big trouble.

Don't worry.

This will all blow over in no time.

Come on, they can't stay mad forever, right?

I think I could solve world hunger and still think I'm a terrible person.

not true.

They still love you.

In their own way.

You believe me, right? The cigarette wasn't mine.

Do you remember our smoking and stupid lectures?

You were only ten.

But I knew I got through to you.

Thanks, Seth.

You're all I have.

I don't know how much longer I can take this.

It'll look better in the morning.

Promise.

Despite their best efforts, our b -ball boys came up just short of winning

finals last night.

Better luck next time, boys.

Dude, I'm sorry.

Really sorry.

Yeah, me too.

So you're grounded?

Oh, yeah.

I have to see a counselor for the next month about drug abuse, and I'll be

if I get to leave my house before I'm 30.

But I'm sorry.

Really.

What are you going to do?

Oh, we both have bear now if you want to go shoot some hoops.

Sorry, I've got plans.

Sure.

Maybe later.

I'm sorry for that stuff I said yesterday. It was my decision to take

shrooms and skip the game. Not yours.

You done?

Yeah. Good.

Let's hang out.

You don't care about that.

You said a few stupid things while you were high.

I'm not your judgy friends.

So, are you coming?

Unless you have a better offer.

I don't.
