All right, young man, are you ready for this?

Are you ready for this?

Now, shouldn't you be at dance practice?

Pretty.

Did you miss me? Of course. It's been too long.

How long are you in town? A couple days.

Well then, you and I should go catch up.

And then gather the team later.

We have to meet the new girls. They're amazing.

Ah, perfection.

Is Kara still your number one?

Actually, there's this new girl, Ivy.

Yeah, problem.

I'm a teenage girl. Can you be a little bit more specific?

So what? You think I'm not cool enough to hang out with Birdie?

I heard she's in town and you guys are getting together later. So why wasn't I

invited? Ivy, you've been here for like five minutes.

Attaway Dance is an institution.

Have you even heard of the Chicken Girls?

You are aware Simone is my cousin, right? Here's the thing. This school

used to live and breathe dance.

Rhyme, Ellie, Quinn, Birdie. I know those names mean nothing to you, but we

worshipped them.

And you can't just walk in here and be a part of the club.

Look, I'm a part of this team. At least I'm trying to be. But whatever I do, you

won't seem to let me.

I'm going to be late to chemistry.

Hey.

Hey. You probably heard all of that.

The last thing I want to do is get in the middle of you and Finn.

I mean, Kara.

Sorry. I guess that double date must still be on my mind.

It was...

Fun. Yeah, Finn had a really good time too.

He seems cool. He's great.

Super sweet.

Which is what you deserve.

Thanks, Theo.

Of course.

I should get going.

It's class.

Me too.

But, Ivy.

Yeah?

I'm happy for you.

So, I'm home for a little.

Um, I miss my family.

Yeah, I get it.

TK's probably excited you're home.

Ugh, he is so annoying, but I love him.

How's college, though?

I can't wait to graduate.

I mean, don't get me wrong, my priorities right now are on regionals,

but I can't wait to leave out of the way. I promise you will miss it once you

leave. Trust me. I don't think that's possible.

Come on, I know you're crushing it at state right now.

Actually, I wanted to tell you, I dropped out.

The college just wasn't for me.

What's wrong? You're as pale as a ghost and it's kind of

freaking me out.

Uh, I think I did something stupid.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

It's JJ.

We were practicing the other day and she was out of the room and her phone kept

buzzing. Okay. I checked it. I wanted to make sure there wasn't an emergency.

There wasn't.

There was this, like, super aggro text from her foster dad. And what happened?

She said it was fine, but I was worried.

I followed her home, and I heard all this screaming and arguing.

So I called the cops.

I wanted to make sure she was okay. So I waited until the police car showed up,

and then I ran.

Whoa.

I haven't heard from JJ since.

What if something happened? It would be my fault.

Hey. It's not your fault. You did the right thing. Then why isn't she

answering any of my calls or texts?

Because it's JJ.

She's bad at sharing. Just give her a few seconds to figure out what she's

doing.

I guess.

You're not gonna tell anyone, right?

Of course not. I can keep a secret.

I gotta go, but call me if you need me.

Everything okay? Yeah, I'm fine.

Listen, Bales, um, I just really want to apologize for the way everything went

down, you know?

It's just like, I just wasn't seeing things clearly and- Stop worrying about

me. You need to find a hobby or something to worry about. Better yet,

get a girlfriend.

I'm sure she'd appreciate all this attention.

I wasn't happy there, and now I'm making money doing a job I actually enjoy.

I guess I just can't imagine not going to college.

My parents are older, you know, and I was sort of a surprise baby, so.

They had already put my half-siblings through college, and it's gotten so much

more expensive, and, well, they didn't put aside a single penny for my

education.

Yeah, I get it.

Theo's family's been really supportive, though.

Sometimes I feel like I'm closer to his parents than I am to mine.

Yeah, Rooney's home is basically like a second home to me at this point.

What's great about your new job, though?

Oh, it's complicated.

My boss, she spends with my ex.

Remember Spike?

Yeah, totally.

Hard to forget.

Yeah, anyway, I'm gonna go say hi to Junior. Do you want to go to the

gallery? Definitely.

Ready to get out of here?

Yeah.

Hey, you waiting on your ride?

Yeah, he should be here soon.

Cool. And everything's cool with you?

Yeah, why wouldn't it be? I don't know, I just... Haven't heard from you in a

couple days.

It was you.

What do you mean?

You called the cops.

They said someone heard arguing and that someone was you.

FYI, what you heard was an argument with my foster dad because I'm moving into a

different foster house. A really nice place with an older couple.

I'm sorry. I didn't know. You could have asked me if you were curious. I was

scared. I was scared for you.

Do me a favor, Bailey.

Stay out of my life.

Look, I'm sorry. I just... I... I totally freaked out yesterday.

And that's my bad.

You're really bad at apologies.

They were a sign of weakness at my old dance studio.

Don't have much practice.

Well, I accept your bad apology.

So we're good?

We're good.

Great.

If we really want to sell this whole relationship, we really need to get to

know each other better.

How?

What's this?

Getting to know you questions.

What's your favorite color?

Green. You?

Orange.

Really? I didn't know people actually picked that as their favorite color.

It's also my favorite fruit.

See? We're getting to know each other better already.

Favorite flower?

Irises. Cool. That's my girlfriend's favorite, too.

How is she, by the way, with the whole faking the relationship thing?

Actually, she's cool with it. Honestly, things have been kind of weird between

us recently.

I think it's the distance.

I'm sorry.

I was planning to fly out and surprise her for homecoming next month.

That's exciting. She'll be really happy to see you. I hope so.

Favorite book.

You called the cops on me, you stupid brat?

No, I swear it wasn't me. You're gonna regret this.

That was your last shot at a foster home, kid.

Cliff, please.

Enough of you. Get your stuff and get out.

Next time on Chicken Girls. Are you the dance guy?

Are you with Ivy?

No, no, no, no, no. I'm not with her. I'm with Petra.

I need to talk to you about something.

It's about Bailey.

You two should discuss your issues together, since I'm her best friend and

nothing to you.

You two are so cute. And probably kissing all the time.

Oh, yeah. All the time. All day, every day. If we really want to sell this

relationship, we need to kiss in public at least once. You want me to do it for

the first time in front of everyone?
