Crazy. You're not.

We're not.

Here, read. There's a lot

of good stuff in there.

Refresh your memory.

Okay. Mom's mad.

Camelot.

Okay. Tomorrow, we'll be talking about

sewage systems in King Arthur's day.

So, if I were you, I'd plan

on eating a light lunch.

Allie?

Yeah?

Were you able to find some information

on the Order from your parents?

True to form, they had a

dusty, 50-pound book about it.

Fascinating! Ha!

Did you read the prophecy? Mmm-hmm.

What did you think?

I don't know. The whole

"reincarnation of King Arthur" thing

is a little far-fetched,

don't you think?

It's only far-fetched

if it isn't true.

Don't tell me

you believe in it, too?

Oh, absolutely!

You're a very lucky girl to be

able to read the prophecy firsthand.

I could bring in the book for

you, if you want to see it.

Oh, no, no, no. I couldn't

ask you to do that.

A book like that must be so fragile.

I'd be afraid of damaging it!

Yeah. It's probably just best

to leave it right where it is.

Just thought I'd ask.

Okay.

What did he want?

Are you in trouble?

I don't want to be friends

with a troublemaker.

Miles, are you finally

admitting we're friends?

I admit nothing.

Just tell me

what Moore wanted.

He just wanted to talk

about the Order of the Bear.

Wow. Informal,

post-class chit-chat.

Way to pull the Teacher's Pet

spot out from underneath me.

Some friend you

turned out to be.

Bye, Miles.

Where are you going?

The cafeteria.

Do you wanna

come with me?

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

Is this yours?

Yeah, it blew away.

Right to me.

Must be fate.

Thanks.

So, what are you

doing out here?

Running, thinking.

Running and thinking.

This is obviously

the thinking part.

I figured.

Okay. Well, I'll

leave you alone, then.

No, it's okay.

Stay.

You know, most people just run

right by this part of the forest,

but it's great in here.

Listen, hear the wind

in the trees.

It's like music.

Football players aren't

supposed to talk like that.

You're making fun of me?

No, no.

I didn't mean to.

No, hey, it's just...

It seems like all people can

talk to me about is football.

Okay. Well, what else do

you want to talk about?

See?

That's the problem.

I can't think

of anything else.

Can I tell you something?

Football used to mean everything

to me. I loved the game.

But now everyone's

counting on me to

win the championship,

and get my scholarship.

You're getting a football

scholarship? That's amazing!

I don't have one yet. But

I need one, or no college.

No pressure there.

You're a great athlete.

Everybody knows that.

And all great athletes have

pressure on them all the time.

You can't be afraid of it.

You have to embrace it.
