Not if it's happening to you.

Well... just all the stuff in general.

So... it seems like something

did happen to you.

No, you know what I mean, Macy.

Not really.

So, did something happen to you?

No... I just feel

like there's like something,

outside of normal life.

Outside of... teachers,

breakups, girlfriends...

Like, right out there.

Like, outside... there's like,

different levels... of stuff.

And... there's something

that happened to me.

I thought so.

Alex... Alex...

What, you just gonna walk right past me?

So, did you have fun

with Jared on Saturday?

Not really.

What'd you guys do?

Just hung out.

Well, I went swimming at Elizabeth's.

You should have come.

But, right, I guess that stuff doesn't

interest you anymore because,

skating with Jared is more fun.

But...

Whatever, shut up.

So... what are you doing after school?

Nothing.

We could do something if you want.

OK.

Cool. So, you gonna walk me to my class?

OK.

Come out.

Don't laugh.

The pants are a little too big.

Oh, my god. OK, I think that's

your sexiest look yet, Alex.

I need to get smaller pants.

But does it look good?

It's um... it's interesting.

You should try something on.

OK... change. You change now.

Oh my god.

Does it fit you?

No, it's really big.

Look, the straps are like huge.

It looks good.

It's all like, huge.

Shall we?

Take this. Take your shirt.

Give me... I need my clothes!

Go, move... get out.

I need my dress!

Can I have my dress back? Thank you.

Get out! You can't be in here.

I... stop.

Dude, that's not your board.

Yeah it is, I just got it.

What'd you get a new board for?

Because I wanted

to try something different.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

Why would I tell you,

it's just a new board.

Dude because I gotta skate with you

and I can't have some fag board riding

next to me.

Wow, it's not even a fag board.

Just drive.

Yeah OK...

Mm mm. I got boogie buns...

Is... is that techno stuff?

Dude, we should go check out

Paranoid Park.

Dude, I don't think I'm ready

for Paranoid Park.

Yeah but no one's ever really ready

for Paranoid Park.

This is News Break,

I'm Ken Boddie.

Was it a horrible accident

or was it murder?

Police are investigating

a grisly scene

at the central train yard

near downtown Portland.

A security guard was found dead,

literally cut in half

by the wheels of a freight train.

Police say there is evidence

of foul play,

but they aren't releasing

any more details at this time.

And at this point,

there are no possible suspects.

We are following this case closely

and will have more tonight...

on KOIN News Six, at eleven.

I know, I woke up passed out laying
