00:00A rolling backpack or kissing a grandparent on the mouth.
00:04Unsavory.
00:06In an environment where everyone was playing the role of judge and jury,
00:09the only way to survive was to assert some kind of independence.
00:13All right, all right, all right, I'm getting out.
00:16You need to blend and then change that shirt.
00:19People are gonna think that we can't afford nice things.
00:22Here.
00:23And it's backless, so you don't even have to wear a bra.
00:26Nice, that'll be interesting in gym when I have to run the mile.
00:29Jenna, it would not kill you to take a risk.
00:31Be bold once in a while.
00:33My mother's perception of being bold was free boobin'.
00:36I'd had enough.
00:43If you're not into the shirt, at least take these so you look hip.
00:47They're fake, and they'll help you hide your big unibrow.
00:56I wanted an excuse to walk in together.
00:59But what I really needed was an excuse to talk.
01:02Manny said he wasn't ready to be in a relationship with anyone.
01:09Don't stop the music now! Come on!
01:12But maybe he just didn't want to be in a relationship with me.
01:24And why would he?
01:26I was the suicide girl.
01:28So the front said Jenna lives, and the back said intribute.
01:38That's clearly about me, right?
01:40As clear as the cold sore on Vera Herbert's face, I'd say it's oozingly obvi.
01:45I mean, crap to the t***, Kyle.
01:47I saw a girl get out of Maddie's truck.
01:49I mean, I think he's hooking up with someone else.
01:51You're like a daytime talk show.
01:53Except nobody's pregnant.
01:55Yet.
01:56All this happened before the bell even rang.
01:57What did I do to deserve all this epped-up karma?
02:01Okay, act totally normal and don't look now.
02:03But up on the right, she's the one in the bleachers.
02:07The whore?
02:08Yes, but don't stare.
02:09Not looking.
02:10No idea who she is.
02:11Ah, cramp.
02:12Me either.
02:13I think she's a junior.
02:15And she kind of looks like you.
02:17Yeah, but prettier.
02:18And cooler.
02:19With bigger boobs.
02:20She's Jenna plus.
02:22No way.
02:22She's Jenna minus.
02:24You don't taste like ashtray, and you put out.
02:26She probably puts out, too.
02:27But she's older, so the sex is super dirty.
02:31What?
02:32I don't mean hot dirty.
02:33I mean gross dirty.
02:35You know, like amateur porn.
02:39There's that guy with the shirt.
02:41No wonder Maddie wants to keep his options open.
02:43It's hard if he's seen his girlfriend material with a lurker around.
02:46Your suicide stigma is like the Herbst.
02:48Just when you think it's gone, it comes back.
02:56So he gave someone a ride in his truck.
02:58What's the big deal?
02:59You're getting all worked up over Jackall.
03:00The girl's just some...
03:03chick.
03:05You're right.
03:06I'm probably just overreacting.
03:11It's a friendly hug.
03:12Like this.
03:13See?
03:14Totes friendly.
03:15There's nothing going on with this.
03:16Nothing below the neck.
03:17Platon.
03:18Hey, hey.
03:19You wish, cretin.
03:22It's not a friendly hug, is it?
03:24Surrender your pain to the sugar.
03:26I'm fine.
03:27It's not like he's cheating on me.
03:28We're not together.
03:30You can get HPV from whoever he wants.
03:32See you later.
03:35I couldn't control Jenna Plus from spreading her disease.
03:39But I could stop Kyle from spreading his.
03:42You have to take that shirt off.
03:45No.
03:46Yes.
03:46You're glorifying the suicide I didn't even commit.
03:49Jenna Lives is my band.
03:50Really?
03:51You have a band.
03:54What kind of music do you play?
03:56It's not your style.
03:57Oh, and you know this because you're clearly obsessed with me, so go change your shirt.
04:00I don't even know you.
04:03Plus, I know like a hundred Jennas.
04:06It says in tribute.
04:09It's a tribute band.
04:13Maybe it was all in my head.
04:15I wanted to believe him.
04:17But everywhere I went, he was there.
04:30Would you stop following me?
04:38You're in the boys' bathroom.
04:42I have a stalker.
04:49It's this guy named Kyle, and he's following me around, making light of a very sensitive situation
04:53with a very insensitive t-shirt.
04:55I need you to make him stop.
04:56I mean, isn't that like a rights infringement or something?
04:58Are you sure you aren't being a little bit paranoid?
05:02No.
05:03I see him everywhere.
05:04I mean, the shirt is pretty blatant.
05:06Maybe Kyle designed that shirt as a fan.
05:09You know, maybe he wants to be your dog.
05:12By what?
05:13I know a little girl with a name that rhymes with Dallery, and she didn't have any friends
05:18growing up, and it was very painful.
05:21Okay.
05:21Are you suggesting that this is his way of trying to be my friend?
05:24It's certainly possible.
05:26Really?
05:26Because to me, it just seems like he'd rather cut off a piece of my hair and wear it in
05:29a locket around his neck.
05:30All right.
05:30I think the worst thing you can do right now is go to a crazy place.
05:33Look, I'm tired of being seen as the girl who tried to kill herself.
05:36I didn't.
05:37Kyle's shirt only reminds people that I'm still that girl.
05:40And then they don't want to be seen with me, and then they don't want to date me, and
05:43his stupid t-shirt is keeping me from moving on.
05:45And not to mention, it is in really bad taste.
05:47Oh, sweet.
05:47I thought it was a fan shirt.
05:55You know what?
05:56I'll take it off.
05:56I'll take it off.
05:58I don't need it.
05:59I don't care.
06:00I'll just take it off.
06:01Never happen.
06:04Okay.
06:06Where were we?
06:08Oh, I don't know.
06:09Thanks for saving me some pots, Kel.
06:11What would I do without you?
06:13My kid, nice hat check yesterday, man.
06:15Oh, thanks, dude.
06:17Oh, hey.
06:18I didn't see you there.
06:19I'm so hungry.
06:21You hungry?
06:22I'm starved.
06:22I could eat, like, four sandwiches or something.
06:24Maybe some soup.
06:26Mmm.
06:27Well, I think they have chicken tortillas.
06:30So, listen, I know we never talked about it, but you know I didn't try to kill myself,
06:34right?
06:35Misunderstanding.
06:37Okay.
06:37Jell-O?
06:42Mmm.
06:44Oh.
06:45Uh.
06:47Your mouth is saying okay, but your eyes are saying, save me from this lunatic, which
06:50I totally understand because I'm rambling and sounding like a whack job, but just so
06:53you know, I was having a bad day, and I slept.
06:55I had an accident.
06:57Normal people have accidents, and that's exactly what I had because I'm perfectly normal.
07:04What was I saying?
07:05Maddie, you're totally normal.
07:07Yes.
07:08I got it.
07:11I'll see ya.
07:11Okay.
07:13Maddie ditched me to bring that chick a sandwich?
07:16I fooled around with the guy at least eight times, and he never bought me a sandwich.
07:21He just bought her a sandwich.
07:22We have to follow them.
07:23Who?
07:24Your face is all red, and you have crazy eyes.
07:27Did you feed the rabbit squirrels on the quad?
07:29Listen, those shirts are spreading in.
07:31I know Maddie's seen them.
07:32Did you see those people wearing them?
07:33I just need to find out if they're together.
07:34You're going to a dark place, Jay.
07:36Stay with us.
07:37I just need concrete proof that they're dating.
07:42I knew it.
07:43You're totally cashing in on my faux suicide attempt.
07:45That is illegal.
07:46I could have you arrested.
07:47You're stalking me.
07:48Admit it.
07:48I saw you at least five times last period.
07:50I'm an office aide.
07:51Mm?
07:52Yeah?
07:52Take the damn shirt off.
07:53Now.
07:55You're ruining my life.
07:57Those are mine.
07:59Take it off.
08:00No.
08:01Take it off.
08:03No.
08:04Fine.
08:05I will.
08:05Oh.
08:06Just stop it, okay?
08:07People are getting the wrong idea.
08:08They think I'm crazy, okay?
08:09Just stop it.
08:10Stop talking.
08:10Stop with these stupid teachers.
08:11Just stop it.
08:12Just stop it.
08:13Just stop it.
08:14Stop it.
08:15You're crazy.
08:18You're crazy.
08:19You're crazy.
08:20You're crazy.
08:21You're crazy.
08:22You're crazy.
08:27Does this really warrant detention?
08:30If you were 18, it could warrant some time in the slammer.
08:34Sorry I couldn't give you special treatment.
08:35I mean, I could have.
08:37But there were so many witnesses.
08:40I see some new faces mixed in with the old.
08:45To the rookies.
08:46We're on the honor system here.
08:48Now, I'll be back to check on you.
08:51But you won't know when.
08:53So you best be on your best.
08:55Like busy little worker bees.
08:58You will be working on your homework honeypot.
09:03And I will be in my office attending to my piles and piles of work.
09:10Sometimes it feels like I have detention, too.
09:12We have exactly two hours.
09:28It's starting now.
09:34Two hours for what?
09:36Valerie's now.
09:37We're heading to Giuseppe's.
09:38Guess Jenna Plus was a regular in detention.
09:41And a leader among the rebel herd.
09:43Maybe Maddie thought being bad was good.
09:46Come on, newbie.
09:49From the small bird tattoo on her ankle to the simple Carmex she wore instead of lip gloss.
09:54Everything about Jenna Plus was cool.
09:57Bitch.
09:58So, what are you in detention for, Wonder Boy?
10:00I was caught holding the hose at the bonfire.
10:03Kinky.
10:05Yeah.
10:06In your crime, Hamilton?
10:07Oh, just a little.
10:13Misunderstanding.
10:14At lunch.
10:15What are you in for?
10:16I'm a detention rewards card member.
10:18Today I blew off history because I was on the phone having a meltdown with this guy.
10:21Was she talking about Maddie?
10:23Or was I having a paranoia stroke?
10:26Speak of the devil.
10:28What?
10:31No.
10:31Um, what does that even mean?
10:37Can I have a bum of smoke?
10:39Sure.
10:40I wondered if Maddie likes smokers.
10:42And if so, could I fake a pro?
10:43Okay, well then why don't you take your sweet ass time to think about it and call me back.
10:53Everything okay?
10:55Yeah, it's just my ex.
10:56We've been on a break, and we're in the process of maybe getting back together.
11:01Did that mean I was Maddie's rebound?
11:03Breaks are hard.
11:04Someone always hooks up with another person.
11:06Maybe it even falls for them.
11:07Think he's into someone else?
11:09I thought so.
11:10But now I'm not so sure.
11:12When we're together, it's amazing.
11:15It's like the world falls away.
11:18And the next day, he's indifferent.
11:20He doesn't call me.
11:20He doesn't even want to be seen with me.
11:23So, I started to wonder if maybe I'm imagining all the good stuff.
11:27Jenna Plus and I might have been from different planets.
11:29But our Maddie heartbreak was the same.
11:35There it was.
11:36The answer I was chasing.
11:38I couldn't live in the safety of denial anymore.
11:41She was with Maddie.
11:42He was with her.
11:43And I was with cancer.
11:45I'm going to let me sweat it for a little while.
11:48Thanks for listening.
11:49Are you okay?
11:53Whatever the misunderstanding was today, it'll blow over.
11:57Nothing's ever as bad as it seems.
11:59Here.
12:00Take my last smoke.
12:02I'm going to grab another pack.
12:03As much as I wanted to hate on Jenna Plus, I couldn't.
12:06The bitch was decent.
12:08Maybe even sweet.
12:10And it made me really want to kill myself.
12:12I didn't know you were a smoker.
12:21I'm not.
12:22Well, I hear lung cancer does make your ass look huge.
12:25Well, I'm having a crappy day.
12:27Everyone thinks I tried to kill myself,
12:28and there's a lame guy selling t-shirts keeping the stupid story alive.
12:32I don't think you tried to kill yourself.
12:34Really?
12:35No.
12:36You're not the type.
12:38Well, unless you keep smoking.
12:39Okay.
12:39And there's a guy.
12:45Oh, mysterious.
12:47I really like him, but he has a girlfriend.
12:49Who is it?
12:49I can't say.
12:51Oh, so I'd know him.
12:52No comment.
12:54Oh, come on.
12:55Does this guy even know that you like him?
12:57I'd say it's pretty clear.
13:02I mean, he's funny, and he's cool, and everybody likes him,
13:05which is part of the problem.
13:07But I feel like I see who he really is, and he gets me.
13:10Yeah.
13:11But we're not on the same level,
13:13and he could never be with a freak like me,
13:14so he's kind of hopeless.
13:18Maybe you're misjudging the situation,
13:19and this guy really does like you,
13:21just the way you are.
13:22Nap time's almost over.
13:36Good day today.
13:39I snuck by earlier and checked on your progress,
13:43and you were all busy working away.
13:46As always, I appreciate your respect of the honor system.
13:50You make my job a pleasure.
13:53You're all dismissed.
13:57Hey, Mom, it's me.
13:59Uh, when your tan is dry, come pick me up.
14:02Jenna, I, um, I just wanted to say I, uh...
14:08Okay, you know that guy that we were talking about?
14:12Yes.
14:13Um, I just want to throw in my two cents
14:15and say that I'm sure you're on his radar.
14:17I mean, he'd be lucky.
14:19Well, I mean, anyone would be lucky to be with you.
14:23Well, thank you for the pity party,
14:25but I think I'll live.
14:27The T-shirts say so.
14:31No, um, seriously.
14:35I'll bet you anything if this guy didn't have a girlfriend
14:37that he'd be all over you.
14:39Would he now?
14:40Yeah, he would.
14:42It was nice to hear.
14:44If Jake could see me in a positive light,
14:47maybe other people could, too.
14:49Don't stop on the count of me.
15:05She's acting out.
15:19We gave her too much rope.
15:21She's never had detention before.
15:22There have to be consequences.
15:24Isn't detention a consequence?
15:25She needs parental punishing, too.
15:28But nothing too harsh.
15:29What do you think?
15:30Should we send her to bed without dessert?
15:31So that she wakes up skinnier?
15:33No, that's not a punishment.
15:34That's a reward.
15:35We can't let her think we're taking this lightly.
15:40How do we do this?
15:42We start by presenting a unified front.
15:44Your behavior at school today was unacceptable.
15:51Getting physical with someone is never the answer.
15:55We're disappointed in you.
16:00I'm sorry.
16:01I didn't mean to flip out.
16:02I was just trying to stand up for myself.
16:03I mean, Mom told me to take more risks.
16:05You told her to take more risks?
16:07In the context of what she was wearing.
16:10What does that even mean?
16:13I told her to wear a shirt without a bra.
16:15Why would you tell her that?
16:17Our daughter is 15.
16:18She doesn't need to skip the bra.
16:20It was a backless shirt.
16:21Do you guys want me to come back in 10 minutes?
16:2315!
16:2415!
16:30Everything that once was simple was now complicated.
16:33Maddie's best friend had kissed me.
16:36And Maddie didn't want me to be his girlfriend.
16:38Because he already had one.
16:40And no matter how much I wanted her to disappear,
16:42she wouldn't.
16:43She was real and she had a name.
16:46Olivia.
16:47As expected, it was prettier than mine.
16:52Hey.
16:53So how was Juvie?
16:55Nothing like I thought it would be.
16:57That's pretty much the theme of the day.
16:59Brace yourself, Jay.
17:00I see aside your barnacle.
17:02Check out his page.
17:03You're not the object of his affection.
17:09See his hand?
17:10It's on Miss Berndahl's knee.
17:13Um, Hurl?
17:15He is an office aide.
17:17I am such a jerk.
17:20Kyle's not a stalker.
17:21Jenna Plus is nice.
17:23What's next?
17:24So you attacked an innocent office aide.
17:26We've all spun out on the crazy car.
17:28It happens to the best of us.
17:29I mean, I shame Spiral like weekly.
17:32No bigs.
17:33Call me if you want an ugly cry.
17:34Turns out, I had been smoking the emotional crack pipe and I needed to take a drastic 12 steps back to recovery.
17:45I had already acknowledged I had a problem.
17:48So I decided to skip the middle steps and go straight to number nine.
17:52Making amends.
17:53I'm not wearing the shirt.
17:56I know.
17:56I'm sorry.
17:58Listen, I made a huge mistake calling you out in front of everyone.
18:01You're surprisingly strong.
18:03I feel really bad about all of this and I'd like to make it up to you.
18:06Can I buy a shirt to support your band?
18:08You can just have it.
18:12Don't let me pay for it.
18:12I insist.
18:15This whole thing is just ridiculous.
18:17I mean, I just kept seeing you everywhere and I thought you were a creeper.
18:22Turns out, I am.
18:25Okay.
18:26We cool?
18:28Yeah.
18:31Hey.
18:32You should hear my band play sometime.
18:36We kill it.
18:38Yeah, I'd love to.
18:53Come sit with me.
19:03Cool specs.
19:04They're not real or anything.
19:05I like to wear them so people take me seriously.
19:07Funny.
19:09Even Jenna Plus was concerned with how people perceived her.
19:11Hey.
19:13I didn't know you two knew each other.
19:15Busted.
19:16We're detention buddies.
19:19I need ranch.
19:21You don't seem like the type to be in detention.
19:25Maybe you don't know what type I am.
19:28So, um, how do you guys know each other?
19:31Who, Liv?
19:32She's kind of my girlfriend, in-law.
19:39She and my brother have been off and on for a while.
19:41I don't really know what's going on.
19:45Hey.
19:50Weird.
19:50You two kind of look alike.
19:56Yeah.
19:56Nah, she's way prettier than me.
20:00It was our first lunch together.
20:02And I realized it wasn't my stigma or another girl keeping me from Maddie.
20:06It was how I saw myself.
20:13Next on Awkward.
20:14You know this is a charity league?
20:16Not a charity, right?
20:18We are going to rock the knick-knackers.
20:19We are!
20:20You have to be cruel to be kind.
20:23Say you wrote the letter!
20:25Do you think Maddie knows Jake kissed me?
20:26No way.
20:27Guys don't talk.
20:28I kissed Jenna Hamilton.
20:29What?
20:29You don't talk.
