He broke into my heart

So I came down the hill

Of course I was hurt

But then|I started to think

It shouldn't hurt me|to be free

It's what I really need

To pull myself together

But if it's so good|being free

What you are telling me

Why I don't know|what to do with myself

Hey!

NICOLE:
Hey, come here.

I got to get back to class.

NICOLE:
No.|Come meet my friends.

MADDY:
Hi.

NICOLE:
Come on.|What, are you scared?

NICOLE:
It's Carlos, right?

Right.

Break me off some of that sh*t.

- This is Maddy.|- Hi.

- Hi.|- Foster.

- Curtis is in the tree.|- What's up, man?

Carlos and I met when I was|giving back to the community.

MADDY:
He was on|the chain gang with you?

- No. [ Chuckles ]|- Just an innocent bystander.

- You want some?|- Nah, that's OK.

Come on,|it's good for you.

Trust me.

which is cool. Whatever.

But it's not like that|for me.

I get on this bus...

this piece of sh*t,|stinking bus...

So if I wanted to screw up,|I'd do it at my home school...

because I'd get|a hell of a lot more sleep.

But I'm here, OK?

I'm here because|I really want to be here.

And you,|you're here because...

Why are you here,|if it's such a big joke to you?

What?

Nothing.

Oh.

Damn, that's pretty stupid.

Yeah. Didn't seem stupid|at the time.
