Raven: "Raven's Home" was filmed in front of a live studio audience.

Freshmen in high school.

Never thought I'd see the day.

Wow, Mom. That's not hurtful at all.

Not like that, Booker.

I mean like with time. And the passing of time.

[sniffles] Oh, my Booker.

[whimpers]

My Nia.

Hey, hey, Tess. We need to get a move on it.

I mean, remember, early is on time, and on time is--

Tess [over phone]: Oh, Nee, about that,

Ramon's mom scooped me up this morning.

Oh, okay, fine, fine. Then I'll just see you at first period French.

Tess [over phone]: Oh, yeah, about that, I switched my schedule,

so now Ramon and I have geography first period.

So I'll catch you second period. Art.

Oh, come on. All of this is just so last minute.

I mean, we didn't even have time to match our outfits perfectly.

-Tess [over phone]: Um, about that-- -Tess!

No, we always match our outfits on the first day of school.

Tess [over phone]: I know, I know. We're not twinning,

but we're still winning. See you at high school, bestie.

Bye.

Hey. You cool?

Oh, yeah. Me? I'm cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

Like, super cool. That's why people call me "Cool Nia."

No, no one has ever called you that.

-Raven: Cool Nia! -Hey, it's catching on!

Hey, hey. So I just wanted to give you guys your shirts.

So, I was, you know, kind of hesitant about bringing it out.

But, since you're having a little problem,

you know, matching with someone,

I thought maybe...

-Nia, run. Run. -Where you running, huh? Where you runnin'?

Where you runnin'? I'm your ride. Where you goin'?

All right. Club sign-ups.

So, Tess, are you ready for eco club?

Oh. Actually I signed up for flag football with Ramon,

and it's on the same day. Sorry, planet.

Okay, well, that's fine.

We still have time for spirit club, right? Woo-hoo!

Right. Here's the thing.

We signed up for sneakerhead club.

We'll be looking at shoes,

showin' 'em off, telling shoe stories.

Yeah. The club is going to freak when they see these sneaks.

Both: Hey!

All right, well, uh, we still have time for debate club, right?

You can't argue with that.

Yeah. As long as it doesn't conflict with Pump It Up.

No. Yeah, I'm joining that, too.

-You're joining Pump It Up? -Yeah.

-The weightlifting club? -Oh...

Uh...

Yeah, yeah. I'm joining that, too.

Yeah, I'm expanding my... biceps.

-Okay. -Right?

-High school Nia's expanding. -Yeah.

-I'm here for it. See you later. -See ya. Bye.

One-hundred percent freshman participation is required.

Not 80 percent.

Not 90 percent,

but 100 percent participation.

And what club will you be joining, young man?

Hey, uh, could we maybe talk without the megaphone?

If you had a megaphone, would you stop talking through it?

You got me there. [laughs] I'm Booker, by the way.

Principal Jones. So, what'll it be?

Bachata? Backgammon? Badminton?

Stop me before I get to butter churning, 'cause, uh,

you don't seem like a butter churning kind of guy.

True. And I'm not a badminton kind of guy, either.

One-hundred percent...

freshman participation is required.

You said that.

You know, Booker, if you don't see anything you like,

you can always start your own club.

How 'bout the "no club" club?

Ha! We already had one of those.

Most of those kids are also in the detention club.

So, tell me more about this butter churning club.

♪♪♪

Nathan, you're a great scene partner.

Don't worry about the backpack.

You were in the moment.

It's all for the love of the...

"thea-tah."

-[laughing] -Yeah.

Hey, honey. How was school?

Huh-- What happened to your backpack, honey?

-Oh, that? -Yeah.

-Nothing. -What?

Nothing happened?

Levi, so your brand new backpack just broke itself?

No. I don't know. There was this thing with Nathan.

Nothing to worry about. Hey, I like it with one strap.

He likes it with one strap. It's okay.

-Chels. -Yep.

Somebody broke that backpack.

-Huh? -Who is this Nathan kid?

I bet he's on Levi's Peanut Page.

Mm-hmm. I'm gonna find him right now.

-Okay. -[gasps]

Got him. He's beefy.

Wait. What are you getting at?

Booker's gone. Nia's gone.

He has to fend for himself.

He's probably getting bullied.

But not on my watch!

-I'm gonna find out the whole story! -Okay. All right.

Let's just take a minute. Listen, Levi's...

He's probably embarrassed or something.

I'm sure he'll talk about it when he's ready.

Really? You're gonna wait until this gets worse?

-No-- -Hey, Mom? Can I have a couple extra bucks for school tomorrow?

Yeah, yeah. Sure thing, honey.

Levi, you take your lunch to school.

Why do you need money?

I don't know. Sometimes it's just safer to have some extra bucks on you.

Safer? Safer?

Really, Chels? [stammers] You need more?

Listen, maybe we could give him some tips,

you know, to help build his confidence.

There's nothing wrong with that.

-Nothing at all. -No.

Remember that bully from high school? Alana?

Whatever happened to her?

She ran right into my confidence.

[both grunting]

-Yes! -[both laughing]

♪♪♪

-Nia, I need some advice. -Join the club.

That's the problem.

I don't have a club to join, so I have to start one.

Easy. Start a Fork-Knife club.

Wow. That was easy. [laughs]

Great. Now on to my thing.

Do you think signing up for 52 clubs

to be with Tess is trying too hard?

Whoa. Why'd you sign up for 52 clubs?

Well, first I signed up for all of mine,

uh, and then I signed up for all of hers,

and then she signed up for all of Ramon's,

so then I signed up for all of theirs.

Well, I mean, I, I guess it's cool that they invited you along to do stuff.

Well, they didn't actually invite me,

but they didn't not invite me.

Then I'm not sure what your problem is, Nia.

You guys are besties forevs.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

[whooshing]

Well, guess that's it between us.

[whooshing]

-Okay, Nia. -Mm-hmm.

Forget everything I said about besties forevs.

I just had a vision that you and Tess aren't gonna be friends anymore.

You need to give her and Ramon some space.

-You're a third wheel. -Wait. What?

You're coming on too strong.

Why do you need to be in 52 clubs?

O-okay, Booker. What exactly was your vision?

What did she say? Was I wearing this outfit?

Was my hair up or was it down? I need information, Booker.

You're asking for a lot of detail, Nia.

I gave you the most important part.

I saw Tess in the vision.

W-what color was she wearing?

-I guess green. -She never wears green.

Hey Nia, Ramon and I are going out.

Can I borrow that one sweater?

The, the brown one, or the red one?

Or the blue one that really brings out your eyes?

No, the green one.

You hear that, Nia?

The green one.

♪♪♪

Oh. [laughs] Sorry.

-Too many clubs? -How'd you know?

-Well... -Wow. I can't believe

we actually signed up for kabuki theater.

And Cross-Fit Extreme.

Both: What were we thinking?

-I'm Nia, by the way. -I'm Angelica Moreno.

It's nice to meet you. So...

What clubs did you sign up for that you actually liked?

Totally nerdy but, book club--

-Uh-huh. -The eco club.

-Tell me more. -Movie club.

Ava DuVernay? Greta Gerwig? Tamra Davis?

My top three directors.

And I started my own Spanish club.

I've got layers.

Wow. That is such a Nia thing to say.

And actually, yeah, I signed up for all of those clubs, too.

-You did? -Yeah.

-How about my Spanish club? -Uh...

Let me just make sure it doesn't conflict with weightlifting.

And it does not. There you go.

-Perfect. -So, if you have any extra time, do you wanna hang out?

-I'm free. -Great.

-Are you into library hopping? -Yeah.

The one on 57th Street does a book crawl, and lock-ins!

Wow. That sounds so dangerous, yet safe.

Oh...

Okay!

Took my advice, club leader.

Oh... Just one problem.

If you don't have any members, you don't have a club.

And you know one-hundred percent

freshman participation is--

Required. I know.

Hey, can I-- Can I use this for one second? [laughs]

Attention!

This is the last day to sign up for the Fork-Knife gaming club.

Step right up! This is not a drill, people!

This is not a drill.

Okay, looks like you need to work on your pitch.

Once your club is up and working,

be sure to log all your club hours,

and note everything you learned each meeting.

Did I just give myself more homework?

Wait a minute.

A little Sugar Ray swirl!

-A little Ali rope-a-dope. -Oh!

-Some De La Hoya on the side-- -All right, all right!

Rae, listen, getting physical is how we got here

in the first place, right?

We need to teach Levi inner strength to,

Today begins his meditation practice.

We need to practice getting on the same page, Chels.

That's what we need.

What's all this?

Uh, Levi, sweetie,

we know what's going on at school.

-You do? -Yes. And we want to help you build your confidence.

Huh. I guess I could always use more confidence.

Yes answer!
