One, that's disgusting.

Two, I am not riding the bus.

But it's a quintessential

high school experience.

So is mono.

What is mono?

Kids get it from kissing.

It's like mouth aids.

You seriously just ruined my appetite.

Hey. You have everything you need?

Yeah, just prepping.

Is transpo still at zero seven hundred?

- Transpo?

- The bus, sorry.

Oh, yeah, no,

it usually rolls by at 7:00.

Okay, got it.

You know, we're really glad you're here.

- Thanks. Me too.

- Okay.

Good night.

Okay.

Normal 16-year-old, normal 16-year-old.

Fresh meat.

Oh, my God.

Jeez...

Freak show! What do you want from me?

- I thought we could walk together.

- Are you on bath salts?

It's like you have social herpes and you

want to... spit it back in my mouth.

- That's... that's really gross.

- So is your makeup.

God, you look like you had

a one-night stand with Mr. Potato Head.

Look, I have nine months, three weeks,

and five days until I escape

this post-pubescent psych ward,

and you are not gonna mess this up.

Just...

wipe all that off,

put these on, and just...

try not to talk to me. Okay?

Welcome, Vikings. Hey, everyone.

Now, let's see some school spirit.

Come on, spell it with me.

Come on, V-I-K-I... okay.

- Okay.

- I'm gonna spell it by myself?

All right, well, I have great news.

Our campus is now a nut-free zone.

- Yeah, finally!

- Absolutely, Gooch. That's right.

As long as I'm principal,

you will never see another student

- with nuts in their mouth.

- No promises!

It's gonna be a long year, I see.

I'm also excited because,

for the first time,

Newton High School is participating

in a brand-new foreign

student exchange program.

You know we need more diversity. We only

have two Cambodians and one Mexican.

I take it this is your first assembly.

Yeah. Isn't this awesome?

Not usually. But okay.

Are you a member of the band?

No, I'm actually more

on the engineering side.

I do the lighting board and design.

Oh, look at that.

So that's your thing, then.

A/V geek. I got it, I got it.

I saw "10 Things I Hate About You".

Right, yeah. No, it's just like that.

- Right, I figured.

- Only not the '90s.

You know, just...

whatever happens out there,

- don't let 'em get to you.

- Right.

All right, well, please join me

in welcoming

our foreign exchange student,

all the way from exotic...

Oh, come on, man. Canada? For real?

Please put your hands together

for Megan Walsh.

- That's you.

- Yeah, that's me.

Show her some love, Megan Walsh.

Come on, Vikings, make some noise.

- Yeah!

- Come on, people.

Thank you.

Hey, guys, I'm Megan.

I'm from Regina, Saskatchewan.

I'm really psyched to join the long

and proud legacy of Viking alumni.
