I have some bad news.

I have some bad news.

Big changes are afoot.

Who even says that?

Guys, I'm leaving Attaway.

Hold up a sec, BK.

I need to talk to you right now. Not as your coach, as your mom.

But you're always my mom. Look kiddo, we have the big crown late game coming up.

And our team is just not where I need it to be at yet. Our defense is weak.

Our defense is fine.

Fine isn't good enough, sweetie.

We need to be great.

So, I'm going to try out a few other goalies and bench you for now.

Really nice, Mom.

Six-shirt bell.

Vince got it for me. I could get him to make you guys one if you want to.

Heck yeah.

Uh, I have some news.

Claire, it's important.

Sorry.

So, there's a lot going on around here.

Juniors is closing.

The dance team fell apart.

Layla is leaving the appeal.

Claire, I don't know what's going on with Claire.

Radical self-discovery, I'd say.

Yeah, right.

But what I'm trying to say is that even though change is scary, sometimes it's

good. Well, what's the news, hon?

I forgot they were having a fire drill today.

Why are they always during lunch? So lame.

So, you really quit the appeal?

Yeah.

So, what are you doing with all your free time, then?

Hanging with Simone, mostly.

Well, I'm helping my mom plan a chowder fest, and it's getting a little crazy.

She wants it to be a way bigger thing this year, like a community-wide thing.

And with my hat business, I'm a little swamped. Could you help me out?

Doesn't Eggie normally do that with you?

Yeah, but he's been acting kind of weird lately, and I think I'll have more fun

with you.

I'm happy to help. Really?

Yeah. I could use a distraction.

From what?

Oh, well, you know, just life.

Right.

Well, I'll catch up with you later after school so we can get started.

Sounds good.

What's up, Harmony?

Wow, did you get another gross burst? I've grown up so fast.

I've always been wise beyond my years.

That's true.

So, you said you needed my help. Is everything okay?

You remember when you moved away from Attaway?

No, remind me again?

Of course I remember.

Tell me it's not about those letters.

No, it's not about Ryan.

I mean, kind of, but it's about me too.

What's going on? Is one of your friends leaving?

No, not my friends.

I am.

You're leaving?

You know, just because you're bench doesn't mean you don't have to practice.

I don't feel well.

Fine, but I need to see you cheering on your teammates.

Whoa.

Come on, boys.

Let's go.

Pick it up.

Aggie, it's not break time. Get your butt moving.

There you go.

My ankle.

Dude, are you okay?

It was really hard at first.

I mean, you have to make new friends, and you get total FOMO of seeing all

your out-of-way friends hanging out together.

But it gets easier as time passes.

Were you ever worried... I know this might sound dumb, but were you ever

worried that they might forget about you?

Totally. I think that's normal.

They all get to stay here and hang out together while you're the one out there

trying something new.

But we all kept in touch. It worked out.

But only because you moved back.

Attaway can always be your home away from home.

And no matter how far you move, you'll always have the chicken girls.

I hope you're right.

Oyster and spinach chowder?

Yum.

Pacific Northwest salmon chowder.

I have to say, this whole chowder fest thing is a weird tradition.

Doesn't your family have any?

Traditions? Yeah.

We eat turkey on Thanksgiving and wear costumes on Halloween.

Very funny.

This shares just me and my family since Eggie wants to go visit his

grandparents.

Is that Simone?

Is everything okay?

Things have been tough.

Tough how?

She just doesn't trust me with Emerson.

Well, does she have anything to worry about?

Um, what do you mean by that?

There is!

Kinda a vibe between you and Emerson.

We just like a lot of the same stuff.

We love working on the appeal.

Or, at least I used to.

Is it just that?

The newspaper?

I'm... I'm not sure.

But enough about me.

Isn't Eggie involved in all this chowder stuff?

We were in a good place.

Back to being friends.

But once I met Vince, everything got awkward.

Do you think he's jealous?

I don't know.

Maybe. I feel bad about it. I don't want to hurt Eggie, but I really like Vince.

Well, you deserve to be happy.

So do you.

Hey, what about turkey bacon chowder?

Nah, that's gross.

Here you go.

Thanks, man.

Make sure to keep it elevated too so it doesn't swell up.

Dude, your mom is so intense.

I know.

I saw her pushing you really hard out there.

Why aren't you practicing with them? My own mom benched me. What?

Dude, that's really messed up.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

Have you tried to talk to her about it?

No. What's the point?

She's your mom.

She loves you.

And she probably doesn't even realize how hurtful she's being.

Maybe.

You seem kind of down lately.

You doing okay?

I don't know. It's just kind of hard seeing Belle and Claire with other

dudes. Do you like one of them still?

I don't know.

With Belle, we've always been close.

And Claire, I think I'll always have something for Claire.

It's confusing.

Thank you.

It's tough.

It's the hardest with Belle.

Especially since she's spending all this time with my cousin.

You should really talk to her. Because I know she really cares about you.

You should talk to your mom.

Yeah, I know.

What happened to you?

I hurt my ankle during practice.

Oh, sorry, dude. That sucks.

I guess that means you're not walking home. Nah, I called my mom for a ride.

Why are you still here?

I was helping Belle with recipes for Chowderfest.

She asked you to help with it? She said you didn't seem up for it. Well, she's

practically dating my cousin.

Don't shoot the messenger.

If you like her, why don't you tell her?

Honestly, Layla, it's hard to talk to you about Belle or Claire or any of the

chicken girls because you're one of them now.

I'm still your friend too.

Yeah, but they come first and that's just how it is.

Always a pleasure, Aggie.

You know you shouldn't walk in text. He's walking. You scared me. Sorry.

You walking home?

Yeah, you?

So, how are you and Poppy?

What do you mean?

I just thought something was going on there.

No, it's not like that.

She's cool and nice and stuff, but it's just friends.

I don't think she sees it that way.

The problem is, I don't see it that way.

I see it that way with someone else.

You know when I said you were the best girl in Attaway?

I didn't mean like a friend. I meant more than that.

I'm sorry. Did I hurt your feelings? No, it's not you. It's just... It's what?

Just scared of leaving.

You don't have to be sad. I'm not going anywhere. I promise.

But I am.

What? I'm leaving Attaway.

For good.

Next time on Chicken Girls.

OMG, you totally kissed Walker, didn't you? You kissed Walker?

You know, it's been a week since we hung out outside of school, right? I've just

been busy.

Where are you going?

Oh, I just forgot something at home. Where are you really going?

You still haven't told the girls?

How could you, Harmony?
