Excuse me?

You're making a tactical error of

monumental proportions right now.

By sitting at my desk?

By talking to me.

I mean, come on!

You had a great start.

I saw you talking to Captain

Everything this morning.

You have a chance

to be in the popular group.

Don't mess it up.

I can be friends

with whoever I want.

Including you.

Who said I wanted

to be your friend?

You.

No, I didn't.

Then why are you still

talking to me? But I'm not.

Ah, but by saying you're not

talking to me, you are talking to me.

Check and mate.

Okay, first thing

we're going to do

is to break up into teams

to write research papers.

You'll draw your topics

out of this.

Courtney,

you're with Todd.

The architecture

of Camelot.

Interesting.

Will, you're with Karen.

Can't I be with Jen?

No, Jen is with Lance.

Ah.

How apropos.

The sports

of Camelot.

Jennifer.

The tragedy of Camelot.

Your paper is gonna be

about the love triangle

between King Arthur, his wife Guinevere,

and his best friend, Sir Lancelot.

Ultimately, it destroyed

Arthur and Camelot itself.

Bit of a downer.

Miles, you're with Allie.

I'd rather work alone.

I'd rather be eating

pineapple on a beach in Hawaii,

but that's not going

to happen either.

Fine.

I guess she'll do.

Wow. Thanks.

Pick.

The Order of the Bear.

I've never heard of that.

So much for the easy A.

Ask your parents.

I'm sure they've heard

of the Order.

Miles? Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Just tie your shoes.

They are tied.

Then tie your other shoes.

What are you talking about?

Just tie your shoes, okay?

What am I, your mother?

Hmm.

Timed 400 meter!

Top three make the team!

Come on.

Let's go!

Shoes all tied-y tied-y?

Take your marks!

Hut!

Set!

Good job, brother!

That was one of the fastest

400s we've seen in years.

Welcome to Avalon

High Varsity Track.

Thank you.

Okay, we'll see you here

tomorrow, 4:
00 p. m.

Andrea, you and Jenny,

you also. Congratulations.

Well done.

Coach said I almost

broke the school record.

In tryouts!

That's amazing,

sweetheart.

We're so proud of you.

I'm proud of me, too.

You really like it here,

don't you, sweetie?

Yeah, I do. I feel like this

is where we're meant to be.

So. Did you make

some new friends today?

A few.

What's with that smile?

Did you see that smile?

I saw it.

So, did someone

float your boat?

"Float my boat"?

What year is this?

He means,

did you fancy anyone?

"Fancy"? Really, you guys. Century-up.

I think she's

dodging the question.

Absolutely

Oh! I'll get it!

Who could that be?

Miles. What are

you doing here?

We have a paper due.

In three weeks.

I don't like to dilly-dally.
