California Scheming Page #3

We didn't want him to get away,

so we put him on a leash

till he stopped trying to fly.

-You do realize that doesn't

make much sense, right?

Watch.

-Hey.

Now that you've helped him

learned to fly again...

You're gonna set him free,

right?

-Not yet.

I still have big plans for him.

-Where exactly

is your house on birdview?

-Oh, it's not my house.

I-I mean, I live there,

but with my aunt and Uncle.

My mom just died, and it's been

pretty overwhelming for my dad,

so my aunt suggested I come stay

out here with them for a bit,

get away.

So here I am.

Wow, I'm sorry!

I don't know

why I just told you all of that.

-I'm sorry about your mom.

- Oh.

-So, where are you

originally from?

-Uh, Boston.

I haven't met

too many people yet.

I basically spend my days with

my 9- and 11-year-old cousins

or on Facebook

with people back home.

This is me.

-Find me on Facebook.

I'm Nick behrle.

It's b-e-h-r-l-e.

- Okay. Cool.

Uh...Thanks.

-Yeah.

-Hey, guys.

What's happening?

-What's up?

-Nothing.

Uh, Nick just told me

he brought home Mary poppins

this afternoon.

-Name is Hillary,

and she seems okay.

Yeah. She told she's just

out here for a couple months.

Actually, her mom just died, so

she's trying to cope with that.

-Well, maybe Hillary

should be a little more cautious

when it comes

to other people's business.

-Yeah, and it'd also help

if she didn't dress

like she was amish.

-Don't be a dick, bro.

-What did you do

while you drove her home --

like a little amish handy?

- Yeah.

Totally.

-Can we talk

about something else?

-Yeah.

We were wondering

if you want to go to a concert.

There's this new club

down in venice.

You want to go?

-Why not?

Sounds fun.

-Great.

So, uh...

How's our bird doing?

-Yeah. I just put him

on the balcony for the night.

Somehow I thought

it'd be way more exciting

to have a sea gull on a leash.

-Yeah, I hear you.

So, when are you gonna,

like, let him fly away?

-Nick, why don't you ask

your little amish princess

if she wants to come with us

tomorrow?

-You serious?

-She can't be that bad.

She, uh, deserves

a second chance.

Besides,

poor thing lost her mother.

She must be so vulnerable and...

Alone.

-Just make sure

she wears something different.

-I can ask.

-I got to go.

I'll see you tomorrow.

-Okay.

-Well, well, well.

What a surprise.

Haven't seen you in a while.

Listen, before I forget,

I spoke to your father today,

and he wanted me to tell you

that you are no longer invited

to his wedding.

-What?!

What are you talking about?!

I-I just got the invitation.

I was looking forward to going

to New York for a couple days,

hang out with my friends.
