I Woke Up A Vampire (2023) s02e01 Episode Script

1
It's a whole new ball game.
We're on a trajectory that will
define the rest of our lives.
I have no trajectory.
on all I am, all I know.
I have turned my back
That's a little dramatic.
It's just high school.
Monstra vel Mixta venatur,
Homo qui non Mythica,
inanis est concha!
- Our family motto.
- What?
"A man who doesn't hunt Mythics,
Monsters or Blendeds
"is not a man, but rather
rather an empty shell."
I am that shell.
Void of purpose, hopes
and dreams.
Wow. A shooting star!
Move!
Whoa!
Gotta work on landings,
but did you see that speed?
I think my powers are getting
stronger.
- Carmie!
- Sick!
You could have been killed.
Now who's being dramatic?
But there is a slight chance
of that.
Remember, she has super
strength.
Tomorrow is important.
Whatever.
just to get through the day.
We all need to be 100%
And you still have to be
careful.
my shrinking nunchucks,
Just because I hung up
throwing fans, and assorted
grappling hooks,
doesn't mean that other hunters,
not to mention your mother
My mother is Aasha,
and She lives with me
at 324 Sheridan Drive.
That other person is just
someone
that the comic book lady
says is my mother.
I will not hear or speak
of her again.
Got it?
Good.
This year, no Blended drama
that I didn't see ♪
Don't you wish
All of those eyes
staring at me ♪
Aasha: There you go.
for your first day.
Fresh nails
Are you nervous, honey?
Maybe. A little more excited,
I think.
I'm gonna leave the past behind
and start with a clean slate.
A brand new beginning.
Most of the people there don't
know even who I am,
so I can be whatever and whoever
I want to be.
All that is going through
your head?
Well, a few other things,
but that's most of it.
What was high school like
for you, Mom?
It was exciting.
A little scary.
Everyone but me knew
who they were.
I, uh, I met a boy.
- Dad?
- No.
Mom!
Uh, but mostly I just started
to think about
what I wanted in life.
Who I wanted to be.
That's what I'm gonna do.
Except the boy part.
Not interested.
I'm gonna choose
who want to be.
You have no choice.
- You will be a mythic.
- Mom?
Shapeshifter?
And destroy all humankind.
No!
Destroy all humankind

New people, new experiences.
watch out!
Am I invisible here?
Do you people walk with your
eyes closed?
And the first step is finding
the perfect thing to join.
No, not me.
I'm playing this high school
game under the radar.
Be that person nobody notices
until years later
when I'm so super famous,
they'll all say they hung out
at the cafeteria with me.
You have a dark side.
But we need to find the perfect
club, team,
extracurricular activity
that connects us
to the high school stream.
Get your friendship

Which means you have to follow
me, smash that like,
and make sure to re-share every
one of my posts.
Leanna!
I remember you.
Christoph!
No, friends is out of

Or you can be so strange that
we become outsiders

and beyond.

Hey, wait up!
Watch it.
Don't mind me.
Move, kid.
- Excuse me.
- Excuse you!

Ouch!

Here we go.
No! No, no, no, no!
Hello?!
Anyone hear me? A little help!
- Fourth period, social science.
- Hello?!
Room twe
Oh, I'm so sorry!
I didn't mean to!
I this is all my fault.
Wow.
Wow.
- You pack quite a punch.
- I didn't mean to.
I mean, how much can I pack?
I'm not a suitcase.
I should've been watching where
I was going
instead of checking
my schedule.
Did you just get taller?
It's my forehead.
It makes me look taller
than I am.
- Watch out!
- What?
Sorry,
I thought that those skater
kids were coming our way.
Some forehead.
I'm Tristan.
Carmie. Lost.
- Of course you are.
- I mean, freshman.
I know I would have met you,
if you were here last year.
I would have liked to have
met you too
if I was here last year,
which I wasn't,
because I'm a freshman.
obviously,
- You can stop me anytime.
- No, not at all.
I hope you knock me down
again soon.
But only if you want to.
No pressure.
Good. No pressure.
I hope I knock you down
soon too.
Yeah.
Okay.
Look back.
Anyone out there? Hello!
My legs are starting
to lock up!
Who you ride with determines
who you dine with.
Leanna Live, it's great.
Are you following?
Not on the 'gram. I prefer to
keep a low profile.
Have you signed up for
anything yet?
Three different clubs.
Yes, duh.
It's a great way to expand
my high school network.
What are you into?
Well, the old me was about
truth.
Justice.
Saving the world
from monsters.
The new me
Searching.
Yeah, whatever that means,
the computer club
has "you" written all over it.
Go! You'll thank me when your
start-up
makes you a billionaire.
How many times do I have
to tell you?
These are not the Jeweled Eyes
of Isis.
It is too!
I have the paperwork
to prove it.
Really, wow, this is very
interesting.
Wow. Well
My hammer proves it's not!
But if you hear of any Gorgon
Blended running about,
let me know.
I'll make it worth your while.
Blended.
harder to keep.
Hard to catch,
Worth a lot.
But is it worth it?
Phew! That guy have rotten eggs
in his pockets?
No, they just smell like that.
- Ah, you look terrible.
- They?
How was your first day
of high school?
Not good.
I was seen as aloof,
In middle school,
mysterious, intelligent.
In high school,
I'm nothing.
- Unseen and unheard.
- Aww, Kev.
You were none of those things
in middle school.
But I wouldn't worry about it.
is where dreams go to die.
You see, high school
The best one can hope for is to
get through it
with as little emotional scar
tissue as possible,
and then onto a bigger world
of broken dreams
and shattered hopes.
pathway to the great adventure
I was told high school was a
called "life".
Well, who knows.
It's all pretty much random
anyway.
Oh. This came for you.
And, uh, boxes don't move
themselves.
It stinks like eggs.
- I'm telling you,
- Who are you?
the forest is all about having
the freedom of not hiding
who I am,
what I am.
I'm glad we moved here.
Looks good on you.
My time is coming,
I can feel it.
My powers are getting stronger
every day.
So, have you made the decision?
More and more, I'm thinking
Mythic.
Why not?
We're more powerful and way more
fun than human.
- True on both counts.
- We're of nature.
We're necessary.
Humans still have a long way
to go. What about you?
I haven't thought about it.
I just want to see what
high school has for me.
I have time.
You do until you don't.
Talk later.
Bye!
Hey!
Quite a punch girl!
Really? You forgot my name?
Never. Carmie.
Of course you do.
You run track?
I mean, shorts, shoes, the fact
that you were just running
pretty much gives it away.
around the track
Yes, I am on the team.
A decathlete.
What else would you be?
You thinking of joining?
Don't hate.
Not to see you or anything.
Yeah, that's why I'm here.
No, for the team joining thing.
You should, you'd only
make it better.
Aren't you a good decathlete?
Oh, jokes. She has jokes.
Hey, Tristan, champions keep
working when others stop.
Let's go! Let's go!
- All right, nice seeing you.
- You too.
Another chapter of Leanna Live
wrapping up my first day
of high school.
And I must tell my followers
that honestly,
I am crushing it.
They love me here,
and why not?
I'm setting fashion trends.
Love the hat.
And I'm excelling in all
my classes.
I've joined the cooking club,
the Get Out and Vote club,
and, obvs, my favourite,
the debate club.
'Cause, really, who is going to
argue with this?
Ugh!
Not inside, Carmie.
So, let's see it.
What took you so long?
I'm trying to ease up
on the flying because
my landings have been brutal
lately.
You need to compensate for
getting stronger.
Really? You're still keeping all
the Blended facts to yourself?
my intelligent, creative,
Come on, let's see what
best friend has accomplished.
and incredibly secret
You are correct on all points.
Let me present to you
the first comic from the artist
"Kev, just Kev."
"Carmela: Half Vamp,
Half Human."
Book one. "I Don't Bite
Yet."
How sick is this?
Are you kidding me?
You wrote a comic about me?
What? No way!
Not at all.
Kev, you've finished it!
Oh my, word!
- This is brilliant!
- Thank you.
- Congratulations!
- Thank you.
- You did this all by yourself?
- Mm-hmm.
Oh
How do you come up with
this stuff?
- Hello?
- Wow
the similarities?
You don't see
To who?
No.
- Oh, is it, um
- Uh-uh.
- I don't
- No.
Good work, my boy.
Good work.
- Track team?
- Yeah.
I should be able to do something
on that team.
You have super speed,
can fly,
and have ten times the strength
of kids your age.
Girl, you can be an Olympian.
No, I'm not using my powers.
That wouldn't be fair.
You know, one day we won't have
to hold ourselves back
to fit in with humans.
One day, but not today.
Meet anyone cute?
You sound like my mother.
Not really.
"Not really" means yes. Who?
Don't lie, your fangs
are showing.
Where's Kev?
I'm debating if I'm speaking to
him or not,
we needed a time out.
so I told him
You spoke to him to tell him
you're not speaking to him?
How else would he know?
And you should definitely ask
somebody before
you put their entire life on
blast.
Even if it is about you,
which it's not,
it only covered
the entire year.
Detail.
But he totally exposed me as
a Blended
- to anyone who reads the comics.
- Don't worry.
Who's gonna believe it
except other hunters,
Blendeds, Mythics,
The Shapeshifter.
I get it.
So, that happened
on my first day.
- What about you?
- Complicated.
I decided to expand my world,
meet new people,
so I joined the computer club.
try new things,
Wouldn't have called that,
but okay.
Yeah, it was going
really well.
I was playing Medieval Mayhem,
battling for the castle,
fighting wizards.
- Yeah, it was.
- So, good?
Until I heard a voice behind me
yell out
It's gonna crush you!
So I went into action.
may not be the best fit for me.
They told me computers
I agree.
Too techy.
Maybe try something more
from the heart.

Doing the slo-mo!
Why are people staring at me and
walking in slow motion?
Carmie! Whoa!
And yet, she keeps going.
Resilient.
The school really needs
to let people know
when they polish the floors!
well, really me, I posted
Carmie so, you and I
went viral!
I pressed the slo-mo button,
and
Kev's comic book isn't
your problem.
This is.
Guess who's speaking
to you again.
That makes one person.
- Doing the slo-mo!
- Ah, nice guys.
- Kev, you okay?
- No.
I blew it in my social studies
class.
They were talking about
rising oceans,
and I brought up Atlantillians.
You did not say that.
Yes, I did.
Everybody knows Atlantis
is rising.
I'm not built for high school.
But they just laughed at me.
No one knows or cares that
I'm even here.
- Yes, but you have to.
- I do.
Even when you're not talking
to me.
Carmie Henley!?
Do you know that a day without
sports is a day lost?
I'm Coach C.
I saw you running yesterday.
Eh.
I mean I saw a video
of you running.
But it showed me that your next
game starts here.
As slow as that girl was talking
and seeing you move
made me wonder,
how fast is she?
Very fast, and strong.
You know, I bet she could do
the long and the high jumps.
Great.
Well, you know,
without the will to prepare.
the will to win is nothing
Try-outs Friday!
Dare to be great!
- He talks weird.
- That he does.
I'll see you on the track,
Carmie.
Does everybody know you?
What is she thinking?
Carmie can't go to track
try-outs.
People watching, parents
recording.
She may slip into her powers,
who knows who will see her?
Are you even listening to me?
Who gets banned from art club?
Not the ten people who make
origami swans. No way.
But someone makes paper m;ch
10th century fortification,
oh, out they go!
At least you're being noticed,
no matter how weird a way.
I can't do four years of
being invisible.
Hello! Human being here!
- What is she thinking?
- Gosh.
This looks nothing like her!
The character's name is Carmela.
She is Carmie.
You can't claim a name you hate.
Right. Her hair, purple.
Totally different story.
Thank you.
Hey, man, can I take a look?
Me?
Sure.
- Yo, Benny, what you got?
- Hey, guys.
You make this?
Wrote and drew every panel.
What's your name?
Kev.
Well, Kev,
keep at it.
Can't wait to see the next
edition.
Very cool.
See you around.
Oh, I'm feeling something,
what's coming over me ♪
He said it was cool!
Did you hear that?
- And they're really cool!
- Well, obvs!
Big, strong, popular,
perfect teeth
And they like your comic book
that is definitely
not about Carmie.
I'm cool now. Visibly cool!
Dylan.
Can't deny it.
You are the one.
I found you, Vampling.
