bigger than Kira.

We need to do

something so freaking cool,

it won't even matter

what Kira and Lainey say about us.

Is this where you tell me

you just discovered

your teenage superpowers, Buffy?

Update.

Do you see that?

I'm trying not to freak out.

Gabs, that's today.

Great.

Great, so we'll just take off,

go meet 5 Leo Rise,

convince them to play

for the school,

everyone will love us,

and the Kira curse will be over.

That is the most genius idea ever.

Yeah, except I was joking.

Well, I'm not.

What?

You know, ladies...

and dude...

your love

really keeps the band going.

So let's keep going, shall we?

Come on, let's hurry, please.

I can't believe

you convinced me to skip school.

I've never done anything

like this before.

Gabby, focus.

We need to get the band

to play for our school,

or we'll be stuck

in social Siberia forever.

How are we going to convince them?

Remember when 5 Leo Rise

took that leukemia girl to her prom?

Yeah.

- We'll just say you have cancer.

- That is so wrong!

Do you want to be

Kira's punching bag forever?

- Look nauseous.

- I'm so nervous I'm going to throw up.

- Good.

- What?

- You kind of look like you have cancer.

- So fine!

Hi, who's next?

- Hey, how you doing? I'm...

- Oh, my God, Ritchie, hi.

It's me, Devon.

I'm your biggest fan ever.

- My best friend here, Gabby Davis.

- Hi.

Remember her name, 'cause one day

she'll be a famous scientist.

She collected all these labels

to win the concert for our school,

but they accidentally set on fire

along with a popular girl's hair.

If I don't do serious damage control,

these b*tches are going to

ruin our social lives,

so can 5 Leo Rise please

come play at Highland High?

Absolutely.

We'll be there tomorrow.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Yeah, we'll ride

into your school on unicorns.

Hey, I'm Mason.

Do you have something

you want me to sign?

No, I don't need an autograph.

I need a concert.

All right, fair enough.

See that?

If you looked like that...

...maybe I'd say yes.

You all right?

Kind of starting to freak me out.

Gabs.

Duh...

I have cancer.

Well... we didn't give it to you.

No. See, Ritchie,

this is really important.

This is a matter of life and death,

and I'm your biggest fan.

- Would you just...

- Some help here.

You have to.

I bought all of your music.

I bought all of it!

...money for my hair,

and it's really sad.

Oh, my God, let me go!

Don't you touch her.

Ritchie!

Crazy psycho fans, man.

You mean, when I said I had cancer,

Mason didn't do anything?

Not even a glance.

Gosh, that is so unlike him.

No. It's all a lie, Gabs.

They're all fakes.

Even Mason.

So you're telling me that my life
