about this gym clothes problem.

This is not gonna do it, these long pants.

Everybody else is wearing shorts.

What's the matter?

I don't want to talk about it.

I don't want to give you a mark

against you, either.

But I'll have to do it

if you can't show up in shorts...

like you are supposed to.

Look, I won't do anything about it

this time...

but tomorrow, I want to see those shorts.

Okay!

There's that nerd girl

who sits behind you in Math class.

- That one right there.

- Yeah. Her.

Green panties?

Loser.

- Where'd you take that at?

- The bleachers outside.

Pretty blurry, though.

- What's that?

- It's a rip in his shirt.

I thought it was coming out of her head.

- I took that outside at the park earlier.

- Really?

That's pretty. Where'd you take that at?

At my house.

That's my light assignment.

Great contrast. I like how you can barely see

the fence right there.

I think I'll make another print, though.

It came out too light.

Yeah, you should burn in right here.

- Hey, Eli.

- What's up, John?

- How's it going?

- Good, how about you?

- Pretty good. What are you doing?

- Just taking pictures.

- Can I take a picture of you?

- Yeah, sure.

Okay, ready? One, two, go.

- Nice.

- All right, I'll see you later.

- You going to the concert tonight?

- No, my parents are being b*tches.

That's retarded. That happens.

All right. See you.

Come on out here.

I got a job for you here.

You can take these books...

and you can reshelf them right over there,

if you would, please.

I'll be here if you need me.

- That's what they told me.

- I don't know.

- I mean, it's really hard to decide.

- Yeah, I know.

I mean, the money's really nice, but...

He's so cute.

- Did she see you?

- Who?

Did she see you?

- Who?

- Her. His girlfriend.

He has a girlfriend? Since when?

- You didn't know?

- No, I didn't.

A long time.

- Are you joking?

- I hope she didn't see you.

- She's not gonna do anything.

- She hit a girl last time for that.

- Hit a girl?

- She slapped a girl.

No way.

She smiled, he smiled, and she slapped her.

My gosh, I cannot believe that.

Are you joking?

- I saw it.

- Why wouldn't she slap him?

- Because...

- It's not the girl's fault.

All girls do that.

- In the middle of the hall?

- Yeah. After school last Friday.

Wow, I am so tired.

I haven't been getting any sleep lately...

'cause every morning, I wake up

and my mom's going through my stuff.

- Going through your stuff?

- Yeah.

Completely, like,

ruffling through my covers and like...

- Your covers?

- Yeah.

Like, what would I hide there?

What am I gonna be hiding?

I don't know.

Didn't your mom used to do that to you?
