(Hum of student chatter)

Morning, hat-head.

Gimme that.

Awww. Aren't you two cute?

(Laughs)

Off.

I know, I know.

Clare's waiting for me. Are you coming?

Yeah, I'll be there in a minute.

(School Bell rings)

Clare: Alli, come on. If we don't sign up now,

all the spots will be full.

There it is! Finally!

Hatzilakos: Attention, the film club is now full!

I told you,

our new-old principal is all business.

Okay, so, um, what about photo club?

Clare: Yeah, I guess that could be fun too.

Sav got us the last two spots in film club!

Ain't he the sweetest?

K.C.: Hey, Clare.

Everyone's so smoochy this morning.

Is there, like, a PDA club somewhere?

You're just jealous

because Johnny won't kiss you in public.

Speaking of, where is he?

Or are clubs not his thing?

(With a sigh) He's probably just busy.

-Busy? -Come on!

Everyone has their own hobbies? Heh.

His are sure different from yours.

The "I hate Johnny" routine, again?

I don't hate Johnny.

I don't think he's nice to you. That's different.

Connor: Let go!

You just don't know him like I do.

Bruce: Let's go.

New girl! Can I see your tan lines?

Bruce: So, Fiona,

what club did I see your, uh, sweet...face

sign up for this morning?

Fashion. I should go sit down.

This seat's not taken.

Declan: Fiona!

Help me defrag a hard drive, will you?

Shudder.

Public school boys are so shameless.

Yeah, well, I can't always be your dork shield.

-I have a life too. -Well, I've tried "no,"

"forget it" and "I know judo,"

but nothing seems to fend them off!

Ah, what's another year of being single, right?

Hey, I've had boyfriends! Sebastien?

In France? A pen pal at best.

We lasted a long time!

Only so you could tell all the guys at school you're taken.

And now you see why.

(Kissing sounds)

PA announcement: Attention, Degrassi...

Chantay: Portraits.

Ladies, for next week,

use the camera to illuminate the soul.

Show us what you see.

I'm gonna show you Johnny.

And even if he actually lets you,

won't the photos end up blank?

Harsh! Johnny has a soul. He's actually really sweet.

Hey, Johnny.

Johnny, um, I wondered, can you come over later?

I need help with, um, English.

"1984's" deep.

Sure. I love that book.

Alli: So it'll take some convincing.

(Sighs)

(Streetcar and traffic rumble along)

Alli: So the telescreens represent

the party's control over the masses.

-And now we have webcams. -It's the same thing.

Big brother is everywhere.

You know this stuff. You don't need my help at all, do you?

Crafty.

Um, Johnny, I was wondering,

um, why don't you talk about books with your friends?

(Scoffs) 'Cause I can do that with you.

Know what else I can't do with my friends?

Have you thought of joining a club?

Johnny: Nope.

What about some kind of team?

Nope.

But how come?

I don't know. I...

I guess I'm just not the club/team type of guy.

I thought you liked me like that.

Will you at least help me practice for photo club?

Just a few shots.

(Birds chirp, low hum of chatter)

Kwan: Mimsy's a combination of flimsy and miserable,

chortle from chuckle and snort,

flare from flame and glare,

and I'm sure I don't need to explain Brangelina.

Now it's your turn.

Anyone? Another portmanteau?

What about "sexting"?

Kwan: Excuse me?

Um, okay, can anyone elaborate?

Um, it's like texting,

but instead of sending words, you send, um, racy photos.

Uh-huh. Alli, so, since you're the expert,

my number is 416-

(Class chuckles)

Kwan: Class! Focus, please.

Okay, now.

the etymology of words is a fascinating subject.

Speaking of racy photos...

(Camera beeps)

Oh, wow.

Johnny looks so...cuddly.

Never doubt my powers of persuasion.

(Laughs)

Riley! Wanna grab a burger? My mom's making fish loaf.

Can't. I've got S.A.T. prep club.

Oh. Thought I could hang with my bud,

now that I'm single.

Maybe someone switched your Axe Body Spray

with girl repellent.

Yeah, unlike you,

I have no need to repel the ladies.

Hey, lay off the gay jokes, all right? I mean it.

Okay, all right. No disrespect. Sorry.

Watch. I'm gonna work my magic on that new fashion-y girl.

Fiona?

Dave: Keep applying pressure.

I just pricked myself, I'll be okay.

Dave: By the way, welcome to Earth!

'Cause you look like an angel.

Good luck, man.

Hey, um, is this the S.A.T. prep club?

No, it's fashion.

Where the guys are, vocab word, indefatigable.

This guy bothering you?

No, no, no! I was just...

-Never mind. -It's fine.

I just can't seem to accessorize a bandeau

without a major injury.

Ooh, damn! You need a transfusion.

9-1-1? (Laughs)

Fiona: Yeah, fashion's dangerous, for sure.

Riley: You're pretty brave.

I should jet, but I'll see you around.

Fiona, right? Have a good "bandeau."

♪♪

Dave: Classic Riley moves.

Handsome, charming,

but on the inside, pure playa!

You want someone who's gonna treat you right?

Like you? Aren't you grade nine?

Think about it.

I'm not giving up that easy, angel.

(Exhales) Well, I'm flattered,

but I tamed that playa. We're dating.

Don't tell him what I said, okay?

It'll be our little secret.

What're we having today?

Give him his lunch back.

(Laughs)

It's a decoy.

Bruce: There's really something wrong with that kid.

-I, like, I don't know. -Feel free to share

with your friends!

-(Sarcastic chuckle) -Hey, backwoods.

Um, why aren't you eating with your friends?

Because I'm eating with my boyfriend, silly.

You must try this.

Wow.

Oh! (Laughs) Hold on a sec.

Easy, woman.

Alli: (Incredulous breath)

What, are you gonna change my diaper too?

Johnny, you're my boyfriend.

I told you, not in front of my friends!

-Those are the rules! -The rules?

You have got to stop caring about what other people think.

I still have to see them everyday. I...

You don't get it.

Wait. Don't be mad.

Listen,

I don't mind the whole no-sex thing,

but in order for this to work?

Cool it with the PDA

and act a little more mature.

Got it?

(Door opens)

(Traffic rumbles)

Alli: Why did we even go public

if I'm not allowed to touch him at school?

Why do you even wanna touch him?

He's greasy.

Are you even listening?

Yes, while I put my numbers into my new phone.

I'm multi-tasking!

(Keypad beeps) (Sighs)

Okay,

I don't exactly like Johnny,

but I hate to see you cry.

So, some advice-

I kinda agree with him.

How can you say that?

It's like me and Anya. We tone it down at school.

We send cute text messages instead.

That way, you know, I maintain my manly image.

(Snickers) Manly, Sav?

(Sav's phone rings)

Hey, pookie. Yes, loud and clear.

Heh.

Can I- Can I have this?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, you're the sweetest. You are.

(Keypad beeps)

(Whispers) Psst! DiMarco. I got the stuff.

I told you, not at school.

(Sighs)

Nightfall. The abandoned warehouse.

I'm so sorry about yesterday.

But think I got a compromise.

Prepaid, two months free texting.

What, so you can track me down like big brother?

We don't even have to call. We could just text.

Talking, texting...

It's just not for me.

But it's private, like you said.

I told you I'm not your puppy,

and a phone seems a lot like a leash.

Kwan: So everyone, finish "Twelfth Night,"

and think about secret identities.

I hear you have a secret identity.

Riley Stavros' girlfriend?

Rumors spread fast around here.

Holly J: Well, he's a big man on campus.

Almost never dates at Degrassi.

Nice work!

Oh! Hi!

Find the S.A.T. club all right?

Eventually. Don't know how I'll pass

if I can't even find the room.

Hey, did you hear that we're dating?

Rumors fly around here, huh?

Any idea how that might've started?

Well, when you came to fashion club,

it was Dave-repellent.

Which was so necessary that I might've...

I get it. I don't mind being a decoy,

as long as the girl's as cute as you.

Um, not to be like all the others,

Sexting...

That is so hot.

Unlimited for two months, huh?

I could get into this.

Oh, Johnny, you're so sweet.

(Pool balls clack)

Fiona: Just hold it like a pencil, like that.

(Riley and Fiona laugh)

When you said you had some leftover lunch,

I was thinking, like, a sandwich or something.

Are you gonna gag?

I've seen it happen. No shame in it.

Just aim away from the shoes, okay?

Okay. So, we're hanging. What's your favorite movie?

I don't know, I've moved around a lot,

my tastes are kinda weird.

Well, try me.

"Let the Right One In." It's Swedish.

Teen vampires? I saw it at the Revue.

You did?

Uh, I love how Eli and Oskar's relationship's

so deep and dark.

Yeah, but so, like... innocent.

What's in this unagi roll, anyway?

Eel.

I suppose we can't have everything in common.

I'm gonna grab a hot dog.

You know what's in those, right?

Okay, which one- basketball?

Or covered in bike grease?

Jenna: Definitely the grease.

That's your boyfriend, little Edwards?

Nice work.

Photo's not bad either!

A stuffed puppy?

Alli: It's a portrait.

Come on, portraits are of people!

What about these?

Wait. That's Johnny?

He looks cute!

He's been really sweet today. Check out these cute texts.

Clare: Boo? Baby?

Johnny sent these?

It's the new Johnny.

This is super adorable, Alli.

So, does the "new Johnny" want to double-date

with me and K.C. sometime?

I'm sure he'd love to. We'll talk.

Chantay: This pic's so sweet!

You have to show it.

♪♪

Okay, let's do it.

(Balls clack, hum of chatter)

Boy: (Reaching grunt)

Hey.

So how long have you known Riley?

Fiona: Um, we're pretty new.

Are you guys friends, or...?

Um, we were.

Yeah, until he stopped calling me.

Oh, I'm- I'm sorry.

No. No, it's, um...

So he never mentioned me? He didn't say anything...?

Is he dating anyone, do you know?

Riley: See? 100 percent pure beef.

No surprises here.

Hey, Riley. Long time, huh?

Um, we have to go, okay?

Boy: Wha...

You're just gonna ignore me?

How do you know that guy?

I don't. A lot of freaks hang around here.

He's probably on drugs.

Whoa! I gotta call Alli.

Bruce: What, your niner girlfriend texts you

and you run, huh?

We should steal a sign for your room.

"Caution- children at play."

Whatever, losers. If you got this test, you'd run too.

(School bell rings)

Thanks for walking me to school.

Oh, it's the least I could do.

Maybe someday you won't have to wait for me

down the street.

Ah, it's no big deal.

I'm used to being the forbidden fruit.

Maybe we can be more public at school?

Well, it's hard to say no when you send such hot pics.

Sexter.

Bruce: (Laughing) Oh.

It's the cuddly puppy!

(Guys laughing)

Fitz: Puppy helps Johnny not be scared of the dark!

(Mock soothing sound) Mmmm.

You need to take that down.

I think it's sweet, and it's my best picture.

Everyone thinks so!

Sav: Aw, Johnny looks so dreamy!

He's all sensitive, I just wanna give him a big hug!

Alli, take it down. Now!

No one was supposed to see that!

Alli: Why the hell not?!

That's the Johnny I see, the one I like!

You're so smart,

I don't understand why you act like such a loser!

It's stupid!

I'm stupid?

You're the one sending naked photos of yourself

to this loser.

Maybe I should show the Alli I see to my friends.

Oh, my God, Johnny, you can't!

Everyone saw my picture.

Seems only fair. (Phone beeps)

Bruce is gonna love this.

(Phone beeps)

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Simpson: Cell phones, please! There's a test today.

You know the rules.

Cell phones.

(Bruce's phone beeps)

Seriously, Bruce.

(Heels clacking)

(Phone beeps) Oh, my gosh!

Alli: Give me it to me! Give it!

(Laughing)

Thank you, Bruce. I appreciate- whoa!

I think you two...

need to report to the office.

Immediately.

(Chuckles)

Thank you.

Declan: So how was your date?

He was a Neanderthal? You were bored?

No, he was very sweet,

unlike your standard Degrassi perv.

But there's a "but."

(Sighs) Don't tell anyone...

...but I'm pretty sure he likes boys.

(Chuckles) A match made in heaven.

He needs a beard, and you need a bodyguard.

Riley: So we're talking full-on body shot?

How crazy is that?

Mm-hmm. I'd show you,

but Hatzo deleted all my pictures.

I shoulda made backups.

Riley: Bummer.

If I had naked chick pics on my phone,

I'd be making copies.

Bruce: Tell me about it.

You sure your gaydar's not defective there, sis?

I'm gonna find out.

Riley, hey!

Do you wanna take me to this Dot I keep hearing about?

Sure, but you gotta eat the jalapeno onion burger.

Payback for the eel.

What makes you think that these photos

won't end up all over the Internet?

They were just for my boyfriend.

Hatzilakos: Or that, in 10 years,

those photos might still be out there?

They could cost you a job, Alli.

It was just fun.

It wasn't supposed to be this big serious thing.

It could be if the police decide

that you're distributing child pornography

by sending them.

Police?

I already have a warning. They can't know, please!

I know.

And I don't think this needs to go that far.

(Relieved sigh) Thank you, Ms. Hatzilakos.

You're as nice as people say you are.

I know this stuff is complicated,

but, please, Alli, protect your body.

You're the only one who can.

Alli: I only have two things to say to you,

then I never wanna talk to you again.

Go.

One, we are so broken up

and two, give me the phone back.

That's it, huh? Hmm. What phone?

Don't be dumb.

Hatzo searched my locker and my bag.

She couldn't find it. It's gone.

Give it back, loser!

Let me tell you my two things.

One, I told you the rules.

So if anyone acted dumb, it was you.

And two, if we're really broken up,

I'm gonna need something to remember you by.

Johnny, they're photos of me without my clothes on.

And I promise I'll keep 'em to myself.

Unlike you, I can keep a promise.
