wouldn't mind
because they look up to us.
You're so conceited, Claire.
You're so conceited.
You're so full of yourself. Why?
I'm not saying that
to be conceited.
I hate having to go along
with everything my friends say.
Then why do you do it?
I don't know. I don't--
You don't understand.
You don't--
You're not friends with the people
Andy and I are friends with.
You don't understand the pressure
they can put on you.
I don't understand what?
You think I don't
understand pressure?
Well, fuck you!
Fuck you!
You know why I'm here today?
Do you?
I'm here...because...
Mr. Ryan found
a gun in my locker.
- Why'd you have a gun?
- I tried.
You pull the fucking trunk...
and the light's supposed to go on.
It didn't go on.
I mean, l--
- What's the gun for?
- Just forget it.
You brought it up, man.
I can't have an "F".
I can't have it...
and I know
my parents can't have it.
Even if I ace
the rest of the semester...
I'm still only a "B."
Everything's ruined for me.
Brian.
Considering my options,
you know?
- Killing yourself is not an option.
- I didn't do it, did l!
No. I don't think so.
It was a handgun?
It was a flare gun.
Went off in my locker.
Really?
It's not funny.
Yes, it is.
Fucking elephant was destroyed.
Know what I did
to get in here?
Nothing.
I didn't have anything
better to do.
You're laughing at me.
No.
Yeah, you are.
# It seems so clear in black and white #
# The living color
tends to dull our sight #
# Like dynamite #
# Just imagine my surprise #
# When I looked into your eyes and saw #
# Through your disguise #
# If we dare expose our hearts #
# And just reveal the purest thoughts #
# And that is when
sensations start to grow #
# We are not alone #
# You find out
where you're coming from #
# There'll be somebody there
to break your fall #
# We are not alone #
# 'Cause when you
look out through the door #
# We're really not
the victims after all ##
Brian?
Hmm?
Are you going to write your paper?
Yeah. Why?
It's a waste for all of us
to write our paper.
Vernon wants us to.
True, but I think
we'd all kinda say the same thing.
You just don't want
to write your paper, right?
True, but...
you're the smartest, right?
Well...
We trust you.
Yeah.
All right.
I'll do it.
Great.
Come on.
Where are we going?
Come on.
[ Claire ] Don't be afraid.
Don't stick that in my eye.
I'm not sticking it. Just--
Go like that.
- [ Claire ] Good.
- [ Squealing ]
You look better without all that
black shit on your eyes.
Hey, I like that black shit.
This looks a lot better.
Look up.
[ Snorting ] Please.
Why are you being
so nice to me?
'Cause you're letting me.
[ Door Opening ]
You lost?
Thank you.
Why'd you do that?
'Cause I knew you wouldn't.
You said before your parents use you
to get back at each other.
Wouldn't I be outstanding
in that capacity?
Were you really disgusted about
what I did with my lipstick?
Truth?
Truth.
No.
What happened to you?
Why? Claire did it.
What's wrong?
Nothing's wrong. It's just...
just so different.
I can see your face.
Is that good or bad?
That's good.
See you, Brian.
See you next Saturday.
You bet.
# Won't you come see about me #
# I'll be alone #
# Dancing, you know it, baby #
# Tell me your troubles and doubts #
# Giving me everything
inside and out and #
# Love's strange
So real in the dark #
# Think of the tender things #
# That we were working on #
# Slow change may pull us apart #
# When the light gets
into your heart, baby #
# Don't you #
# Forget about me #
# Don't, don't, don't, don't #
# Don't you #
# Forget about me #
# Will you stand above me #
# Look my way but never love me #
# Rain keeps fallin' #
# Rain keeps fallin' down #
# Down, down #
# Will you recognize me #
# Call my name or walk on by #
# As the rain keeps fallin' #
# Rain keeps fallin' down #
# Down, down #
# Hey, hey, hey, hey #

Dear Mr. Vernon...
