The Miracle Season

---

1

KELLEY:
There are some

rare people in this world,

who can make absolutely

anything into an adventure.

Come on, Kelley. Come on.

KELLEY:

If we're lucky,

one of those fearless, generous

souls shows us how it's done.

How to live.

Except, sometimes

it doesn't feel like luck.

Sometimes it feels like

they were sent from above

as a gift to the rest of us.

Because when someone like

that finds you,

and somehow chooses you

as their friend,

it makes you think

that you can fly.

(WHOOPING)

Okay, thanks.

KELLEY:

Or, at the very least,

it helps you get

through high school.

Which, when you're 17,

is kind of everything.

GIRL:

Kell Bell!

Kelley!

(BANGING ON TABLE)

KELLEY:
Of course, it was Line,

who always seemed like

she was about to take flight,

like she might bound

out of her seat at any moment.

(LAUGHING)

(CAR HORN HONKS)

Hey.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the anchor of West High's

starting line-up,

Miss Kelley Fliehler!

(SCREAMS)

Shut up, Line,

you're gonna jinx me!

Can't jinx certainties, Kell.

No, you being a starter

is a certainty.

Me being a starter

is, like, 50-50 at best.

Think about it. This year we

have Mack,

Brie, and that freshman,

who's like nine feet tall.

They're not you.

- Please.

- I'm serious!

Tell me you haven't been

killing it in practice.

Okay. I made a couple

of good digs.

"A couple good digs."

Let me just kick

your butt right now.

No, after we win State, again.

(SONG PLAYING ON CAR STEREO)

BOTH (SINGING ALONG): 'Cause

baby You're a firework

Come on, show 'em what

you're worth

Make 'em go, ah, ah, ah

As you shoot

across the sky

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, let your colors

burst...

Whoa. Hello, new neighbor.

(TIRES SCREECH)

Oh, no!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Easy, Liner! We can't play

at all if we have whiplash.

- No.

- Oh, yes.

No, no, no.

No. Liner, get back here.

The party's tomorrow night.

Officially it's to celebrate

the start of volleyball.

We've got a pre-season game

in, like, an hour.

But you guys should come

meet people.

We invited the whole school.

Literally.

Just tell us you're coming,

even if it's a lie.

Because this one

can't take no for an answer.

Well, in that case,

we'll be there.

On one condition.

What's your name?

Ruby. And that's

my big brother, Alex.

LINE:

That's it, you're in.

You look like you got what it takes to be

a West High volleyball player someday.

- All right.

- Up top.

Yeah!

- Yeah!

- (ALEX CHUCKLES)

Um, it's the big red barn

just off of Route 1.

- You can't miss it.

- Looking forward to it.

Well, that is,

if I'm not lying about coming.

(CAR HORN HONKING)

Kell Bell!

- Ugh.

- (LINE CHUCKLES)

- You're welcome.

- Mmm.

KELLEY:

We can double date.

No!

(CAR RADIO PLAYING)

KELLEY:

There he is.

Hey, Jim.

What do you say, girls?

- Fresh off the press.

- These are perfect!

- I love that.

- Wait, this is for you.

- We'll see you after.

- Thank you, Jim.

Oh, thank you.

- First game tonight.

- Whoo!

Thank you, guys. Here you go.

First game.

First game. West is the best!

- A piece... Perfect!

- Right here.

- All right, let's keep it going. Yeah.

- Whoo! Beautiful!

- KELLEY:
I'm on my last one.

- LINE:
Oh, no.

Gotta catch up.

Hey, Kelley. Hey, Liner.

- Candy.

- Hi!

Oh, wow.

Those turned out great.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

- Oh, my God.

- That looks so amazing.

You girls bring that

championship back home again.

- We will.

- We will.

Give this to your mama,

it's her favorite. How is she?

Great.

You give her a great big hug

from me.

Will do.

And thanks for this.
