(Studz plays)

Hi, I'm Chantay,

Degrassi's unofficial video blogger.

You must be the diplomat's kids?

Word travels.

And I'm the destination.

So what brings the upper crust to Degrassi?

Old man's a public education attache.

Private school's bad politics.

We're boring, believe me.

So, what's the deal here?

Who are the players?

Holly J is the de-facto student council prez.

The band, Studz, just shot a movie in L.A.

The singer's girlfriend is Degrassi's next top model.

Speak of the devil.

Oh, she's back from gay Paree!

All the photo shoots in the world

couldn't keep me from a Studz show.

All right, congrats, guys.

You're in the Winter Beach Bash.

Lady, we are the Winter Beach Bash!

Oh, did I tell you I'm a "master musician" now?

You got into the music program?

Well, basically. Can't expect these guys

to make it look cool on their own.

-That's amazing, Peter! -I know.

This semester's all about me and you, baby.

Whoo!

So, for the blog,

what does Degrassi's couple-of-the-week go by,

Mia-ter? Pia?

Wow, we're combo worthy?

But who really wants to read the story of a girl

juggling her daughter, high school,

and her modeling career?

And her rock star boyfriend!

Mia, you just spent the weekend in Paris.

You're what we call "aspirational."

Newbie alert! This is Fiona and Declan.

See ya!

Word is you two are Mr. and Mrs. High School.

Yeah. Peter. 'Sup?

Mia Jones.

I hear you model.

Oh, my mom's in with T.O. fashion mag.

New style editor.

I should hook you up someday.

And your band rocks, sir.

Yeah, check us out Friday night!

Ah, wouldn't miss the Beach Bash!

It's refreshing to hear lyrics

that aren't trying to be intelligent.

Totally. Thanks.

Sure beats the diplomat schmooze fest

my parents are throwing tomorrow, anyways, so...

And who gets to schmooze at this fest?

Oh, rich old guys, fashion and media types...

Anyone who's anyone.

Doesn't sound so bad.

(Bell rings)

No PDA's in school, backwoods.

Clare!

Alli!

Show me your classes.

They're almost all the same, even the non-gifted electives!

Here.

I'm so glad to be back at school.

Later, hoodie!

(On P.A.) Attention, Degrassi.

It's pizza day in the caf.

Two dollars gets you two slices.

Hey! Watch out with that thing!

What, are you new or something?

Sorry. I'm Jenna.

I'm Clare. This is Alli. We're BFFs.

I'm so glad all the girls here don't hate each other.

My old school was "backstab high."

Uh, that's my seat.

Mr. Welcome back, everybody!

Sir? She's-

-Jenna Middleton! -Hi.

Welcome to Degrassi.

Take a seat, Alli. Okay?

Dude! Did you nail it? Are you psyched?

You know I had to beg Mr. Fowler to get you that audition.

Dude, I rocked an entire Hollywood film crew.

It's in the bag.

Sweet! Now we can all take Studz to the next level!

Who knew that going to school

could actually help you become a rock star?

Mr. Good morning, master musicians!

I see Mr. Lavigne has given you your handout packages.

Peter, I didn't see you there.

Yeah, I just sorta showed up.

Did you get my e-mail?

I was hoping to see you after class. I'm...

I'm sorry, but we don't have a place for you here right now.

Whatever. That loser doesn't know the first thing

about music.

(Whacks drum)

When did our school become some bizarre, white version of Fame?

Please tell me it hasn't

because I can't dance. Or sing.

Not like Jenna. She is so nice.

-In class- -Bite your tongue, Clare.

Nobody is sunshine and rainbows all the time.

(Sings and plays final notes)

(Scattered applause)

And we have our final performer

for the Beach Bash.

Congrats!

Thank you so much, Ms. J.

(Exhales, annoyed)

So, miss pretty smile and perfect teeth?

What's your deal?

You think I'm pretty? Thanks, Alli!

But I'm not half as pretty as you.

(Sarcastic half laugh)

(Over P.A.) Attention, tennis team.

Please return all uniforms to Mr. Armstrong today.

Thank you.

So you didn't get in.

Just do regular school.

Mia, I've like tasted fame or whatever.

Being regular sucks.

Peter.

Peter, look at me.

You can do whatever you want.

How did I luck in to dating the most amazing girl

in the world?

Really, Mia, if I didn't have you,

man, I don't know.

Can your mom babysit later?

She is. I'm meeting with my agent.

She's trying to set up another shoot.

Again? How many shoots do you need?

That's just it. I've been

turning down a lot of jobs lately.

Yeah, well, wasn't that part of the plan?

Put modeling on the back-burner

and focus on the more important stuff?

It's about priorities or whatever.

Since when are you the expert on priorities?

Thanks for being supportive, Peter.

Mia! Can we still hang out after school?

No. I'm picking up Izzy.

Trouble in paradise?

Yeah, laugh it up, new guy.

It's not against Degrassi rules

for me to eat lunch with my new pal, is it?

You wanna be my pal? Get me and Mia into your party.

She'd love to meet your mom.

The make-up gesture.

Well done, sir!

Well, can you help a guy out or no?

Who'd complain about having the lovely Mia

in attendance?

She'll wear something low-cut, I assume?

Whatever she wears, keep your eyes to yourself.

All right, sir?

All right, scout's honor.

Here's the info.

(Bell rings)

Pair up.

We're gonna analyze the bacterial components

of cheek scrapings.

-Swabs, people! -Uh-

What're you doing?

You and Jenna make great partners.

(Singsong) Have fun!

Open wide, Clare bear!

(Exhales, troubled)

Hi.

I thought you had a meeting?

It turned into a phone call.

Is everything okay?

Good. 'Cause I have a surprise.

I got us into Declan's swanky party thing.

He's introduce you to his mom!

Oh, my God! That's amazing!

I'm sorry for being such a knob, babe.

I'll be more supportive, promise.

You have no idea how good it makes me feel

to hear you say that.

Mmm.

Why? What's going on?

I have a surprise, too.

Don't get mad,

but you are looking at the new Euro Fresh Face.

What? Wow! That's-

Those girls are hot!

Peter, this contract,

it's worth 250 grand.

Are you serious?

Oh, wait.

Why would I be mad?

Um...

Okay.

I have to move to Paris.

Paris, France?

When?

Saturday.

Don't worry, though.

We'll make the long-distance thing work.

You can come visit in the summer.

Yeah. Okay. Sure.

Okay, I have to go sign some stuff.

They're getting me a rushed visa.

But, um, I'll see you tomorrow at school, okay?

Mmm.

Breakfast burrito for my bestie.

So we are still friends?

Why wouldn't we be?

Oh, I don't know, science class?

Like they say, "keep your friends close

and your enemies closer."

So Jenna's our enemy now?

And by working with our wolf in little baby lamb's clothing,

you'll discover all her dirty little secrets.

(Laughter)

Yeah, I bet she's totally into Satan.

You never know. (Sighs)

You're making all the right choices.

This is really the best way for you to finish your school year.

You know what? I'm really proud of you.

-- Thank you so much. -- Good luck! Okay!

Looks like you made Simpson's day.

Oh, it's awesome. He found me a tutor in Paris,

so I'll be able to finish my semester!

Sounds like you'll be pretty busy.

Yeah, I may have to miss a fashion party or two,

but I'll make it work.

Speaking of skipping parties,

I think you should go to Declan's thing tonight

without me.

Why? Don't you wanna go?

What is that?

It's just- It's like-

Your stuff.

Are you breaking up with me?

No! Peter, come on, don't do this!

Mia, you're gonna be like 5,000 miles away,

surrounded by guys falling in love with you.

And that's exactly why I need to know

that you're gonna be here for me.

(Both sigh heavily)

What if I moved to Paris with you?

What about school and your parents?

I'm emancipated, remember?

I still have money from the movie.

I would love to have my boyfriend there.

KC! Where's Clare?

I thought she was with you.

No! And she won't text me back!

Hmm. I just got one,

wishing me luck with my probation officer.

Not that I have one.

(KC's phone beeps)

This is way harder than it looks.

That's what he said! (Laughs)

Ew! Jenna!

(Laughs) So, tonight, more lessons,

or science assignment?

Alli and I usually do a TV-slash-homework night.

Friendship priorities. Cool.

You know what?

Come over, it'll be fun.

You're sure Alli won't mind?

Of course not! She's not the jealous type.

(Clare's phone rings)

(Phone beeps)

(String quartet plays light jazz music)

(Guests chatter)

(Gasps in disbelief)

This is no high school dance.

Hey! That's my ja- Oh.

Sorry.

She just took my coat!

Get used to it. In Europe, models get invited

to this kind of stuff all the time.

Yeah, more proof that these rich peeps aren't dumb.

So, now what?

Well, it is a schmooze fest.

I wonder which one's Declan's mom.

So, uh, this is our humble abode,

for the next six months or so.

Only six months?

Ah, could be more, could be less.

Diplomat brats do a lot of bouncing around.

Here.

Never had raw oysters?

Looks like a loogie.

Fi, don't you just love

how parochial Mia's boyfriend is?

What is that supposed to mean?

Oh, parochial? Uh...

Lacking in worldly experience.

But not in a bad way.

I like to say he keeps it real.

Like, in his band,

he writes his own songs and lyrics.

Yeah, we just spent two weeks in L.A.

And the parties there blow this snooze-fest

out of the water.

Well, why don't you show everyone

how you throw down Cali-style, then?

Get up there!

Play that "Whoa" song.

No. I don't even have my ax.

Oh, no problem.

Hey, uh, Skip? Can my friend borrow your guitar?

Sure!

It's all yours there, sir.

No, Declan, forget it.

Aw, come on.

Hey, everyone. Having a good time?

(Scattered applause) Okay, it's time

to turn this snooze-fest into a Studz-fest!

Here's the coolest guy at my new high school,

Peter...something or other.

(Polite applause)

Come on, sir. They're starved for entertainment.

Hello, everybody.

(Strums guitar)

(Strums chords to "Whoa")

(Lyrics trail off, awkwardly sings partial lyrics)

(Guests return to their conversations)

Sure, why not?

My nails get totally trashed playing guitar.

It's one of the useful things my older sister taught me.

At least you have a sister.

Three half-brothers here.

Oh, hey!

Am I interrupting?

Hey, Alli! We were just

doing some science homework, and then-

You actually became friends with her?

I'm sorry, Clare, but this ends now.

Should I go? I can go.

What's wrong with you? Why are you so afraid of us hanging out?

I'm not. It's just-

It's just not fair that she breezes into school

and steals my best friend.

I knew she'd do it the minute I saw her.

So I guess what I want doesn't matter?

Thanks, Alli. Real nice.

Actually, guys,

I'd love to be friends with both of you.

(Exhales)

It wasn't that bad.

Whatever. I sucked.

This whole party sucks. Let's just go.

Nobody cares about your little performance, Peter.

That's a lie.

Those rich snobs were trying not to laugh at me.

Just try and be yourself,

the charming and confident guy I know.

I don't feel like that guy.

You must be Mia!

Please, come meet some people.

That's what I'm here to do.

You're all business, aren't you?

Peter!

Want some company?

Don't bother. You'll just end up

moving to another galaxy, like all my girlfriends.

Lucky for both of us, dating you isn't in my plans.

Right. The boyfriend.

I think he knew I was gonna make an ass of myself.

Uh, that would be my brother.

Common mistake.

Fiona and Declan are very close.

Shut up, Vicki.

Oh. So he was hitting on Mia.

(Laughter)

Where's my stupid coat ticket?

You guys are leaving?

I am. This isn't fun.

Hey, I can't stand these parties either,

but, uh... Now it's all good.

Really, Victoria? You're still doing that?

Well, what is this?

An escape, without leaving.

Don't think, sweetie. Just do.

How do you...?

You'll figure it out.

(Stammers) Ah. Maybe in the bathroom.

Ah.

(Low din of party chatter)

There. To welcome you to Degrassi,

and commemorate our new friendship.

Thanks so much, guys.

It's so hard coming to a new school,

in a new city, where you don't know anybody.

We niners have to stick together.

Okay.

So, tell me, who's off limits?

"Off limits"?

At my old school, I was such a boyfriend stealer,

especially with bad-boy types.

They're totally my weakness.

Um, I'm with Johnny. He's a senior.

Eh. Too old for me.

I'm with KC.

Aw! He is so cute!

But don't worry, Clare bear!

I won't even look at him. (Awkward laugh)

Mm! You're right, Jenna's so nice!

(Low din of party chatter, music plays quietly)

-Mm! -I got my groove back!

Yeah, all of a sudden.

Yeah, I had some help.

You're lookin' smokin', by the way.

You wanna go fool around?

Uh, Peter, what help?

Dare me to eat an oyster?

Are there drugs going around?

Yeah, I could probably find you some-

No, not for me, it's Peter.

(Slurps oyster)

Mia!

I did it!

He does seem enthused.

Mm-hmm.

Victoria's giving out party favors.

He's on crank.

What?!

Peter.

Did you take something from the Victoria?

Some coke, I think, just a little.

Shh!

Peter, coke would've been bad enough,

but that was crystal meth!

Meth?!

Crazy!

How much'll you give me if I eat these fish eggs?

We're leaving.

Come on, Mia!

Peter? Now.

Ugh.

(Video game buzzes, Peter mimics gun blasting)

-Mission accomplished! -World domination!

Morning, gorgeous!

Ugh! Jungle breath!

Did you sleep at all last night?

No, but I'm the master of "Toxic Conflict."

Performance enhancers! Awesome.

I told you, it was, like, an accident!

Right. You thought the meth was just coke.

So much better.

You know, you're lucky that my mom bought

the Peter-ate-bad-oysters- so-I-had-to-stay-over story.

Yeah, well, at least it made Declan's snobby party more fun.

I needed something.

News flash!

Peter, lots of meth addicts

got their start as "one-time things."

Hey, whoa.

I am not a meth addict, okay?

Don't freak out, I'll be fine.

Moving to Paris does freak me out.

And if you're gonna come with me,

I need you to be good. Please?

Mia, I promise.

Let's just go to school.

(Exhales)
