Health initiative pro or con?

Katie Kins. It's a high school election.

Nobody cares about the issues.

Then how will I get people to vote for me?

By wearing tighter shirts.

I don't understand why you're so nervous.

The only person running against you is Mo.

He's funny. He's friendly.

He's triple XL.

People want their president to be aspirational.

Like the girl in this poster.

But wearing a tighter shirt wouldn't hurt.

Hey. Hi.

Can you believe it? Drew Torres just flirted with me. I thought you were over

Drew. You never get over an epic crush.

Can't you imagine those arms wrapped around you?

Those lips kissing yours?

Mayor, Drew and I are in the same taekwondo class.

I know.

Could you put out some feelers? See if he's interested.

Please?

Please?

Sure. I knew there was a reason you were my best friend.

We better get these posters up before class.

I can make you move.

thinking that things are fine. They're not fine. Nothing is fine. It's all

wrong. Look at those eyes.

Those are crazy person eyes.

You were having a manic episode.

I hurt a lot of people.

How am I supposed to face them back at school?

You'll keep taking your meds and talking to me.

And when you're ready, you'll apologize.

It's an important step to recovery.

You make it sound so easy.

It's not.

Every day is going to be a struggle.

But a bipolar diagnosis doesn't have to be the end of the world.

Lots of great people suffer from it.

Ernest Hemingway.

Edgar Allan Poe.

Jackson Pollock.

Vincent Van Gogh.

Maybe I should just stay home for a few more days.

I don't want to cut off an ear.

Look, if you find yourself struggling, just give me a call.

I know you can do this.

I'll try.

You'll do more than that.

You're committed to getting better.

There's nothing I want more.

Then you better go.

Don't want to be late for your first class.

Thanks.

Hey, how are you? I'm better since, you know, some girl told me that fighting

won't solve all my problems.

Sounds pretty smart.

Oh, she is.

That's why I would like to thank her with two tickets to the Canada -U .S.

soccer game.

I would die to see that.

That is why I thought it would be the perfect first date.

Come on, don't make me get on my knees.

I'd love to.

But...

My best friend still likes you.

Katie, it's been months since Marisol bored me to death on that date. I know,

but going after your best friend's crush is verboten.

Okay.

So then I guess you'll just have to tell her that I went after you.

Hey, found more sticky tack.

So, what were you guys chatting about?

We were just verbalizing.

Yeah, about how Katie's going to be the best president Degrassi has ever seen.

Oh, math.

If I'm led again, Armstrong is going to flip.

I know what you and Drew were really talking about. You do?

So, is he interested in me or what?

Right. The thing is, he gave me the impression he was interested in someone

else. Good to know.

Vote Moe for Prez.

He's not popular, so he's got time for you.

I think you might be overselling yourself.

Ouch.

Sav.

Ouch, come on.

What's up, Miss O?

Sav, I'm concerned.

About my last assignment?

Your musical acumen. Last time we spoke, you mentioned a band.

Dead Hand, yeah.

They're drummers out of this world.

Mediocre at best.

If you want to hear great drumming...

You made me a CD?

For your musical development.

Of course.

My musical development.

I gotta get to my next class.

You liar.

I thought you said nothing happened after you ran into her at the concert.

Nothing did.

We've just been talking music.

There's no proof she's actually into me. Man, she gave you a mix CD.

That's her generation's code for let's get it on.

Carpe diem, my friend.

Just updated Simpson on your condition. You'll visit the school nurse twice a

day to get your meds.

What you doing?

Making a revenge list. Anybody I should add?

I'm just kidding, Bullfrog.

I knew that.

Wow, you must really think I'm crazy.

Not that I blame you. My actions over the past few weeks have crossed the

Which is why I owe tons of apologies.

That's what the list is for. Once I get these guys to forgive me, I hope that my

life will go back to normal.

Who's first?

The one girl I need on my side most right now.

Better get started.

Not before you take your pill.

I'll leave the rest of these with the school nurse.

Good luck, big guy.

Okay, let's get started.

Now, tomorrow we'll kick off campaigning by having the candidates introduce

themselves. The next day we'll have a Q &A, and then we'll send everyone off to

the polls. Any questions?

No? Okay.

Well, for class president, we have Mo Mashkor and Katie Matlin.

Oh, is it too late to add one more to the list? Just joking, sir.

No, I'm not.

May the best girl win.

Okay, anyone else?

All right.

I know how much I want this. As much as I wanted Drew, I overheard your little

conversation. Have fun at your soccer date.

I was going to tell you after you announced your engagement.

I hope you'll accept my apology because I can't make it through the rest of the

year without you.

Heavy's good.

That supporting actress, you realize that was the director, right? Well, if

didn't bail me out on stage, the play would have bombed.

Well, that's pretty terrific considering you tried to get me fired.

I plead insanity.

The doctor will back me up.

Turns out I'm bipolar.

If I had a dollar for every time I heard that excuse.

So does this mean I'm forgiven?

You're lucky I like gifts.

For success, choose the best.

I'll take some of those.

That's my mom. Marathon won't answer my text.

I'm going to lose my best friend and the election.

Running against Moe was one thing. People barely know him. But Marathon's

popularity, people like her way more than me.

I don't. That's what got me into this situation in the first place.

What if she never forgives me?

Isn't she the one running against you for president?

Only because she feels like I betrayed her. Mara and I have been best friends

since kindergarten. We've been through everything together.

We're like sisters.

So? Shouldn't sisters be able to talk this out?

I should find her before things get out of control.

Oh, not on an empty stomach.

You missed lunch because of that meeting, so I snagged you a burger.

There are like a million calories in that.

A million delicious calories.

They don't make you feel better.

Not now.

Hey.

So, that dip you gave me inspired me to make some changes to my phone.

That's good, isn't it? Yeah, except that I'm having trouble with the bridge.

Ah, the tricky part.

Right, so I was wondering if I could get some help from you.

That wasn't obvious, which it probably was.

I have a lot of marking to do today.

Yeah, sure, yeah. If you're too busy, I understand.

What about tomorrow at lunch?

Are you sure?

That. I'd rather spend an hour working on music than listening to teachers

complain about the coffee in the staff room. Oh, yeah.

Okay. Great.

The school needs a leader people can trust.

One that would never stab their best friend in the back.

Hey.

Can we talk for a sec? My schedule is jam -packed. Please, just let me

Why, out of all the guys at Degrassi, you go after the one I wanted? I didn't

after him. It just happened. But you knew how much I liked him.

Mary, you have to forgive me. I'll do anything.

Anything.

You name it.

And things withdrew.

Called you last night, but your mom said you were busy.

I was working on my speech for candidate interest this afternoon.

Well, let's hear it.

I don't think we should go out.

That's a weird way to start.

We met under extraordinary circumstances.

What if during the redundant daily grind of high school we'd realize we have

nothing in common?

Then what?

So, taking your talk with Marisol didn't go well?

Do you want me to talk to her?

No.

I'm sorry.

I just can't let a guy come between us.

Even when it's awesome with you.

Katie, the way you helped me through all my crap, there must have been a reason.

Am I just supposed to forget all that?

No. Okay.

Tell me again when you should know.

Okay. So to finish this segment on religion, I want each of you to do a

presentation with model about one ritual and its role in society.

Jake, could we do a full -size model of, say, a sweat lodge? Some native

cultures use them for spiritual ceremonies.

Why not?

Okay, the rest of you, save your questions for tomorrow's class.

Thank you.

Hey, Jake.

I'm sorry about everything that happened with the guy.

Hey, um, me again.

Um, I know you said that you were okay, but, um, you don't seem okay.

What do you want from me, Eli?

Your forgiveness.

You tried to break up Claire and me.

Apology isn't going to cut it.

You hate it.

The harmonic structure is too similar to the chorus.

Try the same chords, but shift into... A minor.

Yeah, that's amazing.

With age comes wisdom.

You're only 23.

Not that I looked you up online or anything um You know I'm I probably

because I don't want to take up too much of your time Actually if you have a

minute, I'd love some advice on the phone Okay, yeah sure it's

still pretty raw

Wow.

The word really spoke to me.

I think I'm going to drop it.

How did you take the rejection?

Surprisingly well.

You didn't do it.

All right, everyone.

Time to meet your presidential candidate.

First up, Marisol Lewis.

I spent the last day asking students what they want from their president, and

listened to all the requests, even the illegal ones. And while I won't break

law for you, I'll make sure next year is the best ever.

Katie Matlin, you're up next.

Okay,

the reason I'm running is that I love this school, and together we can achieve

our goals. Sounds super fun.

Tell the people one of the many reasons you'd make a perfect president, Katie.

I can think of several. You see, Katie is great at keeping secrets, which is

important. In politics. Oh, and she'll step on anyone to get what she wants.

You're judging me about stepping on people?

You're such a hypocrite. Who stole Casey from under his baby mama's nose?

Not me.

You're a shameless homewrecker. That is not true.

Yeah, it is.

Thank you, ladies.

Okay, before we get too far off track, let's meet your final candidate.

No mash core here with two promises.

I'll get fries back in the calf and I won't hook up with your boyfriend.

It's not working. It's never going to work.

Eli. Eli, breathe.

In and out.

Now, tell me.

What's wrong?

If Jake won't forgive me, I'm never going to get better.

That's not true.

But you said that apologizing is an important part of recovery.

You apologized to Jake. You cannot force people to forgive you.

So what am I supposed to do? Wait around until he changes his mind?

No, you move on with your life. Find some positive activities.

Okay, thanks.

It was rude of me to walk out.

Yeah, it's okay.

I am a bit confused, though.

I think it would be better if we didn't spend any more time alone outside of

class.

Because of the song that you wrote about us?

Most have.

Right, sorry.

I'm such a moron.

A teacher writing a song about a student would just be... Pathetic.

Not exactly what I was going for, more too good to be true.

Which is why I shouldn't have sung it, written it, or even thought it.

But the song is about me.

I've been having feelings, but you're my student. It's wrong.

Don't.

My

strength

thinks I need new activity.

The rugby team's looking for new members.

Because you need to spend more time in a cast this year? I am bordering on

insanity. Why fight it?

I don't understand why you don't understand why this is a big deal. It's

artsy chick flick.

It's likely to be lame.

It's not about that.

You want to clue me in here?

It's about spending time together.

We're together right now, and I don't know about you, but I'm having a real

blast. I'll cut the sarcasm for one minute. Looks like I found my new

Please tell me he's not winning Claire back.

Oh, no, no. I'm done with that, but I know what makes Claire tick, so I'm

help him understand her so they can mend fences. Then he has to forgive me,

right?

Rugby doesn't sound so crazy anymore.

Mayor? Mayor, wait up. The homewrecker thing, it just happened. My Drew just

happened. I'm so sorry. Can we please just go back to being friends?

You have everything.

Why did you take the one thing I wanted? Because he likes me, Mayor. And there's

a lot he doesn't know about you. Like, you spend every night at soccer, you

spend your lunches at the paper, and the only other guy you've ever kissed was

during a game of truth or dare. That's not true.

Oh, and then there's your little problem.

You promised you'd never tell.

Hey, Jake, can I talk to you after class? Sorry, kind of busy.

I know, but it's kind of... Okay, kids.

Subject for your final projects.

Let's go.

Sir? Yeah.

I was thinking about doing a native sweat lodge.

I already pitched that. Did you? Well, I've done tons of research, and I feel

that the therapeutic nature of the sweat lodge would complement my psychiatric

recovery. Okay, partner up with Jake, then. Well, I'd love to, if that's cool,

Jake.

Sounds super.

Perfect.

Okay, who's next?

So the entire school is talking about Marisol, homewrecker.

I'm a terrible person.

Don't beat yourself up about it. She kind of deserved it.

Why do you like me?

What? I've only ever kissed two other guys.

I had no idea you were that easy.

I'm not being facetious, Drew.

I don't know what that means, but I do know that you found me at my worst.

And you stuck around.

I don't just like you.

Katie, I need you.

Hey.

Sorry to interrupt.

I want to let you know how terrible I feel about everything that's happened.

You really mean that? Absolutely. And I hope the stress of the situation doesn't

make your little problem worse.

What little problem?

Oh, I assumed you told Drew about your urge to purge.

What's she talking about?

Katie's bulimic. That's not true.

You shouldn't be ashamed.

Lots of girls have eating disorders.

He's just trying to cause trouble. Hey, hey, hey, it's okay. No one would ever

believe that you have an eating disorder.

Because that would be pathetic.

And you're anything but pathetic.
