Peter, man, I don't want to fight. Why not? You're a loser.

Everyone knows it. We all talk about you behind your back.

You gonna hit me?

Huh? You gonna hit me?

Inhale. Count.

Exhale.

I'm not gonna hit you.

We'll deal with each other.

Nice, Riley.

You took yourself out of a volatile moment.

Anger is just a reaction to sadness, fear, insecurity.

Acknowledge the real problem, and you'll be free.

Thanks, everyone.

So you talked to Sobe about the real problem?

I wish I could tell everyone.

Meet new people, make new friends, gay friends.

There you are. I need to interview Degrassi's most eligible bachelor for

video yearbook.

I'll be right with you.

No, not you.

Me? Yeah, you won by a landslide. The girls wanna know what makes you tick.

Great.

Does Riley Stavros like blondes or brunettes?

They're all good.

You can eat open -mind.

So, what's a girl got to do to get your attention?

Be nice.

You realize I'm being marked on this for communications class, right?

I'm sorry, I'm trying.

Riley Stavros, man of mystery.

Most of you did very well on your mock exams.

You shouldn't please.

Mr. Armstrong, can I get some tutoring before the exam?

Well, it's late for that, Casey.

I'll see what I can do.

We could study together.

I mean, I need to review, too.

It wouldn't be weird studying with your ex?

Why would it be? We're just two classmates helping each other out,

deal. If you want.

That'd be great.

And release.

Continue to cool down at your own speed.

Namaste.

See you next time, Riley.

See you, Zane.

Good luck on the biology final.

That was so relaxing.

Thanks for letting me tag along.

Anyway, you said you were going to tell me who you had a crush on.

Oh, I guess nobody right now.

Really?

Anya, I have something to tell you.

I might freak you out.

Well, lucky my chakras are aligned.

Okay.

I like... I like guys.

What?

You do? Are you sure?

Very sure.

This is so exciting.

Am I the first person you've told?

Only Peter knows, but... You totally have a crush on Zane.

No.

I mean, he's not even gay.

Forget it.

Let's just keep this to ourselves, okay?

Yeah.

Believe me, I've got stuff I wouldn't want people to know.

So... It goes in the vault.

Promise.

Thanks for being cool.

I should know this stuff.

How did you get so far behind?

You used to be so good at math.

You know, all that stuff with Coach Carson.

Not really.

I mean, I saw Coach Carson get taken away, but there were a lot of rumors.

He wound up wanting to teach me a lot more than basketball.

I mean, he didn't touch me.

But he wanted me to watch porn and... do other stuff.

After all that, studying kind of wasn't important.

I'll get you through this test, Casey, I promise.

Claire, Jenna and I are... Oh, Casey, it's okay.

We're just hanging out like classmates.

Friends.

That'll make being in the same classes for the next three years a lot easier.

Reminder, smoking is not permitted anywhere on school property.

Anyone caught will be immediately suspended.

I have intel.

What?

Riley. He's gay.

Says who? How do you know?

Not that big a secret once you start asking around.

Well, good for him.

So, you gonna ask him out?

Why, I don't know.

Well, you better decide.

Hey.

I think I nailed it.

What? That bio exam?

Thanks for wishing me luck.

That's great.

Now that I'm done studying, I don't know what to do with myself.

Want a hang?

Sure.

Coffee at the dot, if you're free.

Okay. Cool.

See you in an hour.

You have a date.

No, it's just, uh... Is it?

Don't be nervous. What's the worst that could happen?

Right on time.

They don't call me Big Ben for nothing.

They call you Big Ben?

No, not really.

Coffee sucks here. You want to go somewhere else?

Oh, sure.

I got 48 squared for question C.

Uh, no.

You forgot to reduce right there.

I missed this stuff.

I'm glad we're getting to be friends again.

Hi! I just finished my history exam and have no rehearsals until tomorrow.

Hope you got lots of studying done.

Thanks, Claire.

See you tomorrow.

Unless you want to hang with us.

I'm gonna really make sure I know this stuff.

You guys have fun.

So, invite me for dinner?

So what about your exam?

I'm gonna flunk anyway.

I thought you and Claire crammed.

Yeah, but still.

It's hopeless.

Why don't you ask Claire for help?

She did help.

No, I mean, during the exam.

She wouldn't want to see you flunk math, would she?

I didn't think Claire we're talking about.

You said you were friends again.

Well, what are friends for?

I

feel

like Spider -Man.

Sometimes I come here after the construction guys go home.

You can kind of be alone.

Secret clubhouse, huh?

What are the rules?

No girls allowed?

Guys only club.

And what do we do?

If I tell you, I'd have to kill you.

Wow.

This club sure has a lot of secrets.

Are we hiding from the world up here?

It's good to be away from people we know.

Less stuff to explain if anyone sees us.

You mean, explain that you're gay?

So you are.

What are you ashamed of?

Hey!

No trespassing. We're talking.

Not anymore. Let's go.

Get your hands off me.

What? I said get your hands off me!

You're okay.

You're okay, Riley.

Claire, can we run through one more equation?

The tests start in two minutes. What more can we do?

Sit beside me.

You could share.

You mean cheat?

I'm a friend asking his friend for help.

We could get zeroed, get kicked out of gifted, suspended. You're right.

You're right.

Sorry I asked.

It's cool how you always do the right thing.

Good luck.

to work out the equation and fill in your answer sheet.

Everyone ready?

Begin.

Attention, Degrassi. Come out and support a Degrassi midget basketball.

Hey, can we talk?

Are you sure you want to be seen with me?

Man, I'm really sorry about yesterday.

Seriously, you left me with that rent -a -cop. What's wrong with you? I've been

dealing with some anger issues.

I had to leave before I did something stupid like punched him out.

The yoga, that part of it too?

I was hopping.

Sounds like you're working on it.

So, does, uh, therapy include coming to the LGBT mixer tonight?

So, really, you're not coming out at all?

Maybe not.

You're gonna be lonely, brother.

I hope your privacy's worth it.

Claire! Hey, I was just telling Jenna how you totally bailed me out on the

final.

No, I'm not exactly proud of cheating.

I thought we might keep it a secret.

It's okay. I told Casey Bennett Rose for him. It'll be all our secret.

So this was your idea?

You're a good friend, Claire Bear.

First you cheat on me with her. Now you cheat off of me because of her.

Jenna, just trying to help me.

But you used me.

So you and your perky little girlfriend could slack off and make out.

Claire, come on. Don't talk to me.

You guys, the mixer's upstairs.

Follow me.

Well done, Miss Edwards.

Some impressive results, but nobody's perfect, so we're going to take up the

ones that gave you guys trouble, okay?

Yes, Casey, you want to get us started?

I cheated.

You cheated?

How?

I looked at Claire's answers.

Every one of them.

She didn't know.

All right.

Well, head to the office.

We'll discuss this with Ms.

Papalakos after class.

Oh, Riley, perfect timing.

Can you help me carry some of these up, man?

I can't go up there. I got halfway up, but I... I just can't.

There's a lot of hetero's up there. You can pretend you're one of us. We don't

mind, really.

Well, I do. I'm sick of pretending.

Okay, well, you can sell drinks and be my assistant.

Thanks, man.

We better hurry.

Are you nervous?

I feel like I'm gonna hurl.

Okay, well, let's hurry then.

You came.

Eventually.

Don't worry.

I won't ouch you.

Just, uh, try to have some fun.

Hey, this is all new to me.

It's new for all of us.

You think I came out in preschool?

Let's see you dance.

Want to try that again?

Maybe put some effort into it this time?

Whatever. I have it.

Come on, join the club. I think you'll like it.

Take half tea, please.

So I got a zero.

But I'm glad I owned up.

Great. You want a medal?

Claire, I realized something.

All my problems this year started after you and I broke up.

So it's my fault?

If anything, it's Jenna's.

All my problems with Carson started after Jenna and I got together, and the

whole cheating thing was her idea.

You're pathetic.

I don't care what happened with Coach Carson or how hard your semester has

As soon as things get rough, you blame everyone but yourself.

I just want us to be friends.

You don't know what you want.

See you in September, Casey.

That was your first LGBT mixer?

Next time I'm taking you to a baseball game. Hey, your dancing wasn't so bad.

Wait, next time?

Well, we had fun, right?

Chances are we'd have fun again.

Good plan.

Um,

I should grab this.

Totally.

You have my number, right?

Mm -hmm.

I'm, uh, I'm glad you came out tonight.

Yeah.

Me too.

Zink!

But I'll keep walking on
