The Raking Page #3

That's your birthday.

Weird.

Well, I vote we do this one.

I agree.

You would.

What do you mean?

Never mind.

Uh... can I help you?

Who are you?

Cute bag.

I'm Kelly! Thanks!

Does Mom know you're here?

Mom? She's your sister?

Yes.

Adopted?

- No.

- No.

Oh... I get it.

What?

Jade, Kelly.

Your parents really like

the color green.

Noah, I-I don't think it has

anything to do with that.

No, actually, it's everything

to do with that.

It's our cross to bear.

They only eat the green M&Ms.

How did you find me?

You know there's an app

for that, right?

How did you get in the bar?

Well...

Mr. Cooper...

I trust you'll make

the right decision

for our project.

You... come with me.

So, you just took the bus?

You don't know

what they're like.

Kelly, I'm the only other person

who does know what they're like.

It's just so much harder

now that you're gone.

They treat me like I'm a baby.

Just let me stay.

Please.

I can't do that.

Mom and Dad'll be worried,

and we're leaving tomorrow.

Well, let me come!

It sounds fun!

No way.

What if I don't bother you?

I'll hang out with Kennedy.

Um... hell no.

Wait...

Do you have any tampons?

What?!

I dunno, I guess I just forget

you're not eight anymore.

Does that mean I can come?

No.

Jade!

Shotgun!

Did you know that saying

actually came from

back in stagecoach days

when an armed guard would

ride next to the driver?

Go home.

Talk to Mom and Dad.

When I get back we'll pick a

weekend for you to come down.

Be good.

Have fun.

Don't count on it.

Wait, I think

I forgot something.

Hey!

Do you really

wanna take the bus?

[rock song playing ]

How long is the ride?

Oh, it's about two and-a-half,

three hours.

[volume turns up]

[music stops]

Hey!

[music resumes ]

[volume turns down]

I really want...

the radio on.

Seriously?

Yeah, Kennedy.

I am serious,

and you should be, too.

All right, this final

is worth half your grade...

and I'm your TA.

So, what's the plan

when we get there?

It would be great if we could

talk to some of the locals.

I mean, get a sense

of what people have seen...

or think they've seen.

Yeah, that's a good idea, Noah.

Then maybe we can

scout the terrain ourselves

and come up with

some theories of our own.

My theory is it's all bullshit.

Everyone knows people

just go up there

to get stoned off their asses.

People probably end up just...

passing out and dehydrating

out there.

Have you ever been stoned?

Are you filming this?!

Does she show up on film?

[Noah]

Have you... been stoned?

What, because I look like this,

I automatically am a pothead?

I didn't say that.

Y-you just seem to me

to be more like an X girl.
