But do you really wanna do with the bitch that doesn't hang out with Alex? I don't know.
Maybe being with a bitch is the best thing for me.
Look, I like his earring.
Shit.
Can't believe they're not friends.
They're not best friends? Yeah, I mean, obviously, not anymore.
[MAYA.]
That is crazy.
OK.
Well, then I don't wanna be with him.
I don't.
I only wanna be with someone who's best friends with Alex, 'cause I wanna be in the same room with you for our first fingers.
Like, I'm not gonna do without you.
Seriously, like, I'm gonna go with Brandt.
[MRS.
BELL.]
Quiet, please.
Settle down.
Young sir in the Care Bear sweatshirt.
Huh? - She's a girl.
- [ALL CHUCKLE.]
Yeah, I'm a girl.
Care to share something you did over the summer? Come up to the front.
[MAYA.]
Um I guess, like, the most memorable thing I did over this summer was I watched Ace Ventura: Pet Detective like six times in a row.
And it is, like, really funny.
[CHUCKLES.]
'Cause he does, like, all this like, rewind, like, fast forward stuff, like I'll just do it.
It's like "I really wanna play, Coach.
Just give me a chance.
Let's see that in instant slow-mo.
" [CONTINUES IMPERSONATING.]
[SPEAKING GIBBERISH.]
Really makes me laugh.
And he does this other thing, where he's like Ahhh! Sit down.
Enough of that.
OK.
Everyone, take out your summer reading, and get into groups of four.
Uh, John, Lydia, Jafeer OK, so, what do you think about this if I give that to Brandt? [ANNA READING.]
Um, it could go like this.
[MAYA READING.]
[ANNA.]
Look, I feel like it needs a question.
[MAYA.]
OK.
Yeah, I know.
You're right.
And then put my name, 'cause he won't know who it is.
Perfect.
[ANNA.]
So exciting.
OK, Brandt.
I'm gonna, like, have my first boyfriend.
No doubt.
That's freaking crazy.
It's amazing, and we'll go on, like, double dates and stuff.
I know, with, like, Alex.
I mean, if he wants to.
Dustin says yes.
Dustin says yes.
- Brandt says yes.
- I do not say yes.
- Yes, he does.
- No, I do not.
- [BRANDT.]
Yes, he does.
- [DUSTIN.]

Just tell her.
[DUSTIN.]
U-G-I-S, biyatch! - UGIS.

Like Terra Newback? It's a hunchback for Pete's sake.
Yeah, I know.
Or freaking Cindy Puchak like? Her mole covers her whole neck.
