Oh my gosh, did you guys watch the new episode of the Kardashians? Um, no, I don't watch that trash, remember? And you shouldn't either. Did you watch her, Britney? Uh, no. Good, what's up? Oh, I saved you a seat, Michael. Babe, you're just in time. I was telling Maddie how she shouldn't watch trashy TV. Why not? Because it's ratchet. Why would you want to watch a bunch of try-hard girls? Excuse me, thank you. Like Carla, for example. She's such a Pik me girl. Such a pikme girl. Mhm, and that's bad, right? Yes, that's bad. Don't listen to them. I love your outfit. Me too. Why would someone wear a crop top to school? She's so thirsty. Totes, she's trying to get all the boys' attention. I can hear you, you know. I'm right here. We know, that's the point. And that's not true. Okay, then why would you wear a crop top to school? Are you trying to steal my boyfriend or something? Alright class, settle.

settle. As you know, today you're doing your presentations on the Civil War. Who wants to go first? Emma volunteering to go first. Um, no, actually, I just have a question on the book club meetings. When is that? Oh, um, um, today, Tuesday. It starts at 2. Perfect. Also, another question. I was wondering if you were going to enforce the dress code. The dress code? Yes, the school rule says that a girl's shirt must go over her belly button. Yes, Emma, that is correct. Did you take my shirt? No, you didn't take it. Well, okay, fine. Yes, I broke the dress code, but I brought a flannel to wear over it, and I can't find it. I'm sorry, Carla. That is a dress code violation, so I'm going to have to send you to the principal's office. It's not fair. No one likes thirsty girls in this class, Emma. That's enough. I'm sorry, Mrs. Garlin. I just really want the school rules to be followed. I don't want to hear another word about it. Okay, let's

get back to class, and actually, since you're so talkative, let's have you go first. Come on up here today, Emma. Fine, sure. I'm always super prepared, Miss Richards. What are you doing here? My shirt. Oh, dress code violation. You're a good student. You know better than that. Yeah, I brought a flannel to wear over it, but I can't find it. Well, we have rules, and you need to follow them. I know. I'm sorry. Do you have something to cover up that crop top? If not, I'll have to send you home, and that means you can't make up any missed assignments. No, I don't, but please don't do that. I'm really sorry. Is there anything I can do so you don't send me home? Oh, lost and found. There has to be something in there. Is this? That will have to do. Okay. Oh, Carla, aren't you forgetting something? What? Your detention slip. You're covered up now, so you don't have to go home, but you still have to attend the detention after school. I trust this won't happen again.

looking good, Carla. Carla, are you ignoring me? I'm just trying to compliment you. No, Emma, I think she doesn't want to listen. Britney, remember how we talked about thinking before speaking? Yeah, Carla, that shirt looks so interesting on you. More like disgusting. Someone hadn't stolen her flannel shirt; she wouldn't have had to wear something from Lost and Found. Okay, not my fault. Carla dresses like a thirsty wannabe. I'm not thirsty. Okay, then why else would you wear that crop top? Because I want to, okay? Whatever, it still gives try-hard vibes. So, as ugly as that shirt may be, it's still an upgrade from the one it's covering. Can you please just leave us alone? Why? Seems like you want all the attention. We just go. I lost my appetite. [Music] Excuse me, can I get by? I don't know, can you? Can we not do this today? Why do you do this? I haven't done anything to you. Stop wearing crop [Music] TOS. Come on. [Music] Was the worst. Yeah, I wonder why, Michael.

dates her. You know, it seems to me like he's into you. No, he's not. He's just over Emma being Emma. Maybe. Come on, Ruri. It's Michael and Emma. They always fight and then they always make up. They're like Ross and Rachel from my old show Friends. I don't know. Oh, want to come over to my house after school today? We can finish our vision board. I can't. I have detention. G, I'm sorry. Yeah, do vision board is even work. This was definitely not in my vision. Babe, you won't believe what just happened to me. No, I saw what you just did. What? No, you should go apologize to her. She should be apologizing to me, and you need to have my back more. I do have your back on the stuff that matters, okay? And this doesn't matter? No, it doesn't. It doesn't matter what other people wear. How does that even affect you? You just don't get it. It's okay, Michael. I don't get it either. Sorry to see you in detention today, Carla, but rules are rules. No more

crop tops. Okay, I know. Hey, Miss Garland, Michael back again. What is at this time? Okay, have a seat. Well, don't you want to know I'm here? No. Okay, yes. After me and Emma had our fight, she freaked out. She tried to make it look like I broke Coach Wilson's glasses so I'd get to 10. Wow. I didn't like the way she's shooting you and the other girls in our class that didn't fit into her perfect little world. Okay, you two, time to be quiet and do your homework. Rules are rules, Michael. What is going on here, Emma? This is detention. Unless you have detention, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. But I need to talk to him. Well, he has to stay here and focus on his homework until I dismiss him. When will that be? 5:00. Bye, Emma. I need to talk to [Music] you. So, after school, we're going to go to my house so I can show you guys how to style your hair better. You two really

need to start rocking some headbands. Okay, sure. I'd love to. Oh my God, yeah. Okay, you two, it's 5:00 p.m., time to go home. Carla, I hope you learned your lesson. No more crop tops. Okay, okay, Miss Garland. And Michael, I really shouldn't have to say this, but no more breaking teachers' glasses. I was framed. Okay. [Music] [Music] Michael, I think this is yours. Thanks. You'll never guess where I found it. But I [Music] can. Oh, I see you found your flannel. Great. Yeah, Michael found it, actually. Isn't that great? Whatever, let's go hang out at my house. I think a pass. What, why? Honestly, I don't think that we're going to work out. Are you freaking up with me to hang out with this girl that dresses ratchet? See, it's things like this that makes me not want to be with you, liar. Come on, let's [Music] go. You've always been such a liar. [Music] The headband honestly frames your face.

So much better. I'm so glad you like really. Oh, there's the boyfriend stealer now. I didn't steal your boyfriend, Emma. Yes, you did. You're always hanging around in here and whatever you want, like the rules don't apply to you. No, I don't. Look at what I'm wearing today. It's following the dress code. Okay, yeah, you may be following the dress code, but you still look desperate. You're only dressing like that for boys' attention. Totes, no, I don't. I don't wear anything for anyone. I just wear what I want to wear. In fact, I don't do anything for anyone. I do what makes me happy. Really, what's that like? Don't listen to her, Brit. Seriously, should try sometime. Okay, whatever, Emma. I wore that crop top yesterday because my grandma gave it to me before she passed away, and every time I wear it, it makes me smile. Really, yeah. When was the last time you all wore something that you actually liked, like to the point where it actually made your day better? Honestly, I can't even remember.

neither well um I'm sorry I was lashing out at you guys so much. I guess deep down, if I'm really being honest, I was jealous about how you were able to be so carefree and confident. I wish I didn't care about what other people thought of me. Drove me crazy that you didn't. Okay, I understand where it was coming from. So does that mean we all get to wear what we want, Emma? Yes, you won't hear a peep from me. Goodness, but hair looks great. It has a cool messy beachway vibe to it. Love it. What do you want to wear, Emma? Honestly, I don't even know what I want to wear anymore. Just, I guess I like my cardigans, but I could do without these. Then you wear those cardigans because you want to. Just don't make everyone else wear them or shame other people for not wanting to wear them. I know, I'm sorry, you guys. Friends, friends. All right class, take your seats. Today we're going to be talking

about the Underground Railroad. Yes, Emma, what is it today? Oh, I just have a quick question. Okay, Emma, what's your question? Okay, so we all know that Lincoln is our most popular president, right? But I got to ask, where is Hestab's hat now? I would love to see it in person. It was such a big part of his iconic look. Uh, wow, Emma, what a fun question. I think it's at the Smithsonian, which is actually a great idea for a field trip. Thanks, Emma. Awesome.
