- What?

- You're 85.

- Really?

- Yep.

- Excuse me, hi, yes.

This is Mr. Davy, I'm looking

for one of my students,

Anabelle.

I was wondering what class

she's in this period.

The freshman, that's right.

- You wanted to see me?

- Yes, have a seat.

I was going over

the applications

for the program the other day,

and I couldn't find your essay.

So I was wondering

when you handed it in.

- I didn't.

- Why not?

Do you still want to?

Do you want me to

pull a few strings?

Want me to get you

some more time?

- No,

that's okay Mr. Davy.

- Are you sure?

Is everything alright?

- Fine.

- Belle, I know you're

upset about the grade

you received this

marking period,

but that doesn't mean

that you should give up.

- I know.

- Look, when I was

first starting out, I wanted

to be a science teacher,

but I got stuck

teaching English instead

which turned out to be okay

because I still got to

do what I wanted to do.

I got to teach you guys.

I guess what I'm saying

is life isn't perfect

and you can't always

get what you want,

but you can get pretty close.

- What took you so long?

- Sorry,

a teacher kept me.

- Was it Mr. Davy?

And give you that rose?

- Do you have to smoke in here?

- You kinda stress me out.

- It's nasty.

- So open the window.

- It's freezing.

- You complain way too much.

- You really shouldn't smoke.

- Why, because

you don't like it?

- No,

well, yeah, but it's

not good for you.

- Well starving yourself

isn't good for you neither.

So I was wondering,

wanna go to the dance?

- Is this a trick question?

- Uh, why you gotta

make it so difficult?

- Are you asking

me if I wanna go

or if I wanna go with you?

- Do you wanna go to the

dance with me? Yes or no.

- Yes, yes, I wanna go with you.

- Cool.

- What changed your mind?

- You know, I just

thought I'd steal you

before Mr. Davy gets a chance.

- Shut up.

- Make me.

- Shut up.

- No, hey make me, make me,

- No stop!

- Come one, make me, come on.

- So, I really need

to lose a few pounds

to fit into this gorgeous

dress that I tried on.

But it's gonna be

totally worth it

when somebody actually

asks me to go.

- You should ask Belle

to teach you her secrets.

You could do that, right?

You slimmed down from

all that thinspo.

- Oh.

I mean, it was just nothing.

I was just stressed.

- What? When I'm

stressed, I eat more.

- So, are you

guys have any date to the dance?

- We should all go together.

No, I have a date.

- Who?

- Ryan asked me.

Does that mean Gus is going too?

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh,

that's amazing, can

you guys believe this?

I mean, it's a bad idea.

- Come on, it's not a bad idea.
