You swear to God,

you don't have it?

I don't know anything about it.

Jennifer Woods

gave me a sex test

during child development.

And I was supposed to

do it and pass it to you

in independent study.

[ Sighing ]

I'm totally screwed.

Did you put your name on it?

[ Girl ] Hi, Sam.

Hi. No, but it was

really embarrassing.

I had to name

who I'd do it with

if I ever did it.

Who'd you name?

Jake Ryan.

Jake Ryan? He doesn't

even know you exist.

Thank you. That's

a very nice thing to say.

I'm sorry.

But Jake Ryan?

He's a senior,

and he's taken.

I mean, really taken.

I know. It was

supposed to be my ideal.

He's ideal, for sure,

but forget it.

God, I hope whoever

got the note doesn't know

it was me who wrote it.

I'd sh*t twice and die.

[ Students Chattering ]

[ Boy ] Did you see

how tragic it was?

I can't believe I'm actually gonna

consume the school hamburger.

You know, they're not that bad

since they started using meat.

What happened to

your carrots?

Oh, Brenda was busy today.

If she can't remember my birthday,

I can't expect her to remember my carrots.

[ Gasps ]

- [ Clattering ]

- What are you doing?

Jake's here.

I don't want him

to know I eat!
