or the insane collections of video game

characters and the band, and

all the stuff that makes me

a supergeek.

But I don't know. It might be my face,

or the way I carry myself.

I don't know what it is,

but they avoid me at all costs.

But I am not going

to let anything stop me.

I am motivated.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Do you want to do anything

anytime soon?

Probably in, like, two weeks.

- Two weeks?

- Yeah, I'm grounded till the 23rd.

Well, three weeks from now

on Saturday,

- you wanna go see a movie?

- We'll talk about it Monday.

- Sounds good. See you.

- Bye.

- Cedric, good news. It worked.

- No, it didn't.

- Three weeks from Saturday.

- Three weeks from Saturday?

She's like, "Yeah, we'll talk

more about it on Monday."

So I was like, "Okay."

You're gay!

Yeah.

No horseplay in the hallway, please.

Thank you.

- Someone else will get hurt.

- Oh, sorry.

I'm escorting her to class.

She's a troublemaker.

You can't hit me.

Stop it. Go to class.

Hannah's not in the popular crowd.

Yes! Turn it up, man, turn it up!

She's definitely a rebel.

Not goth or emo or punk. Alternative.

- Artistic.

- Really strange.

No, my parents are upstairs. All right.

She's got heart.

Shoot!

- I don't understand what's going on.

- No, I don't, either.

It's like they're ants or bees,

they're part of a hive.

It's like they hear the signal

and they just do it, man.

- Everybody, clap your hands.

- Everybody, clap your hands.

I'm a little different from

a lot of people around here.

Warsaw is such a conservative town,

and I'm so not conservative.

I don't fit in. I hate it.

I like music.

I like film and I like photography and art.

Hannah, they have an M&M for energy.

- You might like that.

- Yeah.

I live with my grandma.

She's so thin,

she reminds me of those models.

She said she's been eating Whoppers.

My mom has manic depression, so

it's almost impossible to live with her.

My dad moved to Ohio to work,

so I'm basically just on my own

for a while now,

except for Joel, my boyfriend.

Hannah just got here.

I'm gonna surprise her.

- Oh, my God!

- Put this on. Let's play.

Joel and I have been together

two years.

A lot of people in high school, like

their boyfriend is like... It's just for fun.

And then, with Joel, it's so different.

It's like, I really...

I really love him.

I can never imagine

not having him in my life.

Now, Hannah, if you'll

just stand right over here,

just inside the door here. We are

going to do a mock interview up here,

so that you kind of get a feel

for job interviewing techniques.

Okay, here we go.

Now, Hannah, of course,

when I schedule people,

I expect for them to be here
