Hey. Hi. I was just about to go find Harmony.

You don't have to keep avoiding me.

I'm not just blowing you off. I really need her to read something.

She's in the gym.

Look, I don't know much about writing, but if you ever need me to read

anything... Oh, it's okay. You don't have to.

But I want to.

Look, I'm sorry I was weird about us being official.

I don't like labels, but that doesn't mean I don't like you.

Because I do.

A lot.

You do?

I... Thought it was obvious.

You really want to read this?

Dude.

Okay, I'll send it.

We are a girl gang like birds of a feather.

And

five,

six, seven, eight.

Just relax, huh? You'll get it. I need to nail this eight count or I'm never

going to catch up to someone in poppy. You'll get it.

Don't worry.

Ready?

And harmony. I finished a draft of the article.

Can you read this before I give it to Margo?

Can I wait?

Kind of in the middle of something.

Oh.

Okay. I'm sure it's great. You're a rock star, Layla.

Thanks.

Ready?

Yeah.

And five, six, seven, eight.

Think of it like Guam having its own delegate in the House of

Representatives.

I don't need all of the voting powers that you have, Claire.

But I do want to protect the interests of my peers as we transition to life in

Attaway.

Thank you so much for taking the time today to hear my proposal.

My only concern is that won't it feel unfair to the other students?

What about all the new kids before you that made the transition to Attaway

without this position?

My research suggests that Attaway has never had an influx of students from the

same community like this before.

On average, your school has under 10 new students every year.

There are at least 30 of us from San Francisco. That might be true, but... I

think we should put it to a vote.

This isn't what I asked for. It's better, right?

Can you believe they were trying to pull one over on the whole town?

I'm not publishing this.

You're blasting all of our new classmates, including Emerson.

But people deserve to know what kind of company their parents work for. I asked

you to write profiles on the new students to welcome them to Attaway.

Instead, you're accusing Golden Gate Data of spying on Attaway residents?

Okay, yes, maybe I am. But they've been accused of it before.

I don't care. This wasn't your assignment. You're alienating our new

classmates and our new journalist.

You're only saying that because Emerson's your friend.

You're right.

But I'm still not publishing this.

Give me what I asked for by tomorrow morning.

Surprise!

I didn't know you were coming by today.

Yeah, that's why it's called a surprise.

I just wanted to spend time with you.

Actually, I'm pretty busy today.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Sorry, it's just my dad's on my case today, and I'm stressed about the Crown

Lake Attaway game.

The expectations of us to win are just so high.

Yeah, you should be nervous.

They're getting pretty good.

Claire said Eggie's been improving a lot.

Improving doesn't mean he's on my level.

I should probably focus on this. Is that okay?

I'm gonna go grab a drink from the soda machine.

Another aye.

Another aye.

Another aye.

And nay.

Then with the majority of the votes, the proposal passes.

Welcome to Student Council, Ambassador Yasmina.

Thank you so much. I'm really excited to work with you all.

I've got some big ideas for how I think things can improve.

I'm sure you do.

Claire. What?

Do you have anything to say? This is a pretty big moment, and you're president.

I might be president, but clearly I'm in the minority for what everyone thinks is

best for this school.

You just have strong opinions and you stick to them.

I admire that.

And I admire that you're able to turn my whole council against me. Welcome to the

team, Ambassador.

Just let me know when you'll take my gavel away from me too.

Marva's an idiot.

She'd be lucky to have your article in the appeal.

It's amazing.

Really?

Thanks. You've read it?

Yeah.

Layla let me take a look before practice.

Oh. Oh well.

We tried.

Guess the big guys always win.

Maybe you just need a new outlet for the article.

You know, my mom works at the Adway Times.

I can talk to her.

I'm a middle schooler.

They'd never want to read my work.

But Layla, your article is amazing.

I really think... Can we just forget about it? I'd rather write some dumb

fluff piece and save myself the drama.

Hey, I didn't know where you'd gone to.

Sorry.

My dad asked me to set up this display.

Oh man, I'm never gonna get this thing to stay up.

Are you having a rough day?

Yeah.

Maybe you need a fresh start. Here, take a piece of extra gum.

Thanks.

Maybe... Maybe if I just... A little bit higher.

How's that look?

There we go. That's good.

Thank you so much.

Claire, you didn't tell us Yasmina was going to be a new student ambassador.

Just some more people trying to infiltrate our town.

I didn't say anything because I'm trying not to think about it.

Come on. Don't stress, Claire.

You're too cute for frown lines.

Seriously, don't let this girl get under your skin.

You're her boss, babe.

She's just jealous.

You're right.

I'm not ready to face her at school tomorrow.

Take the high road.

You're right. I should.

Hey, Yasmina.

Claire.

Look, I'm sorry about what happened at student council.

As you know, emotions may run high in government.

They only seem to be that way when the person in charge is emotional.

I'm not emotional.

This does not look like a high road. This is bad.

Now who's the emotional one? You ruined my homework on purpose.

Mine was an accident. Oh, I doubt it. Maybe consciously, but subconsciously,

you were waiting to do that for days. Well, you've been consciously trying to

take my presidency away from me. Have not.

I don't even want to be student council president.

Could have fooled me.

Have you never heard of dissent?

People are allowed to disagree with you. They can have their own opinion.

Not when their opinions are wrong.

All right, that's enough.

I want you both out of here right now.

Sorry.

This one has great gas mileage.

Okay.

Sorry, I just really love this model.

What else can you tell me about it?

Well, it comes in five different colors. The pearl is definitely the most

popular, but if you want to be different, I go with the red. And don't

let them talk you into the whole radio package deal if you're just going to use

your Bluetooth.

Good to know. And how long have you been working here?

Oh, I don't.

Well... You should, because you just sold a car.

And thanks for the tip about the radio.

That was amazing.

I can't believe that just happened. I can.

You're incredible, Belle.

Sorry I was stressed earlier.

Thanks for being here.

I can't believe Claire got kicked out.

Leave it to Claire to be the first chicken girl to be kicked out of

juniors.

Guess I should go work on those new student profiles.

Good luck.

I should go too. I want to work on some dance stuff.

I'll see you guys later.

Hey mom, I have an article you might want to read.

Next time on Chicken Girls. This kind of fake news would never fly in San

Francisco. What's my name doing in the Times?

What was wrong with our old routines?

I want the new parts memorized by Monday.

You've been kind of intense.

I can't believe this. I'm intense?

And scary.
