A few days later, Arthur arrives at high school from the school bus when he goes to the locker room to take out his stuff for the class of the day. Meanwhile, Mia walks over to him.

Mia: Hey handsome.

Arthur: What's up?

Mia: I see you wake up and clean your face.

Arthur: I used a washcloth on hot and warm water at the same time.

Mia: Arthur, do you know the winter concert is coming up?

Arthur: No, I've never heard of it. When?

Mia: December before two weeks of Christmas.

Arthur: That's not bad.

Mia: I wonder if this school is going OK, I hope. Sometimes it gets bad from the past.

Arthur: Sweet. But every school is getting punishment for big time.

Mia: Always.

Arthur: I gotta get to the first class before the bell rings. I'll come over to your house right after school.

Mia: OK.

Arthur: *kisses her*

Mia: *kisses him back*

At the library, Tony, Zach, and Jamie working on the assignment from the other classes Zach stayed focused cause he had difficulty with the paper, he was writing the note as soon as Jamie looked at him.

Jamie: Dude, do you need help?

Zach: I'm cool.

Jamie: The only thing I see is Math.

Zach: I'm sucked into this Math.

Tony: *sighs* Same.

Both: Really?

Tony: Not gonna lie, I don't fucked with Math. I'm fucking with History class.

Jamie: That's my boy.

Zach: Sounds like a classic. What is your favorite football team? *looks at Tony*

Tony: Los Angeles Raiders.

Zach: New York Giants.

Jamie: I'm going with the Chicago Bears.

Tony: Chicago Bears, huh? The team is cheap.

Jamie: Tony, what the fuck?

Tony: I can open my eyes to my team's prediction to win the Super Bowl next year.

Zach: Yeah? Eagles kept scoring the win nonstop.

*Later that night - Talia's house*

Zach looked at Talia's family pictures in the frame in the living room when he looked at Talia's father, Bill.

Zach: How long have you been married to her?

Bill: Nineteen years ago. As soon as my daughter is leaving for college, I have to give up on my house and move to another town.

Zach: How?

Bill: I've been built into this house after we got married. I need to come along with a solution, especially Talia. It's been easy for you to go the college as well but maybe you have a good time around my daughter. All I want is for you to be careful.

Zach: With all due respect, this town was downgraded. I'll try to get out of here as fast as I can. I am not keeping your daughter in trouble for it, that was your doing to keep her safe. When it's done after graduation, this is goodbye for this place.

Bill: *hearing*

Zach: *went upstairs to her room*

Talia: Hey.

Zach: *smiles a bit and sits on the bed*

Talia: Are you feeling alright?

Zach: I'm cool, whether you still stick with me in your room. Reading bedtime stories.

Talia: You're not a dad, yet. You gotta act like a man when you growing up. I'm just focused on myself and you'll do it yours. But I still love you.

Zach: I love you too, and glad too. My parents will be here shortly because my mom is bringing an old board game, she's gonna teach them how to play "The Game of Life"

Talia: I remember that game I played it when I was in middle school for free time. This is the reason why I've never played a game so long, but it's still sick.

Zach: *caresses her face*

Talia: What are you doing? *giggles a bit*

Zach: *kisses her cheek*

Talia: *giggles and punches him in the face gently*

Zach: TV?

Talia: *turns on the TV and watching Sex Education*

*Jason's house*

Tucker: *hearing the doorbell and opens the door until he sees Caroline*

Caroline: Hi, Mr. Porter, is Jason home?

Tucker: Yeah. Who are you?

Caroline: We've been going to school together and doing our chemistry for filming.

Tucker: OK, you guys gonna do more?

Caroline: Not for long. *comes in and goes upstairs*

Jason: *doing on his laptop and typing something*

Caroline: *knocks on the wall*

Jason: *turns around and sees her*

Caroline: What are you doing, cameraman? *shuts the door*

Jason: I wish you were coming into my house I didn't expect to see you.

Caroline: Are you kidding me?

Jason: I'm dead serious.

Caroline: Well I don't blame you. I know you fixing the edited video of the highlight from the game.

Jason: Eventually, the Avondale team still picked up the win.

Caroline: True.

Jason: *shuts his laptop and looks at Caroline while he stands up*

Caroline: Don't you even say about my fucking outfit.

Jason: I'm not. But I'm challenging you. *dragged her to the wall*

Caroline: *feels his hand holding against the wall*

Jason: *starts kissing her*

Caroline: *kisses him back*

Tony, Lola, Haley, and Simon gather together to eat dinner at Tony's house for the invite with Haley and Simon. Right after dinner, Haley is chilling in Tony's room while Tony doing exercise on the floor in the hot minute. Meaningless, Lola and Simon help wash dishes at each other.

Lola: Again, thank you. This time, I have to get off my chest or I will have to lose my job for good.

Simon: Don't be like that. Your family and husband will be proud of you, including your son too. Haley prefers to find a good school to go to next year but honestly, I don't know when my daughter was supposed to take community college. She's been going through a hard time since day one.

Lola: I knew you would be better with your daughter. Push forward. I wanna be surprised if my friends hang around with me out of town, I have to do my way. I liked them tho.

Simon: I mean you're pretty but you kept posting on each picture from the social media and your pretty smile that I know.

Lola: That was the old days.

Tony: *goes to the kitchen room with Haley* What are you guys talking about?

Haley: Is this some kind of half of a school reunion?

Simon: No sweetie, it's a private conversation.

Haley: I just want to notice.

Simon: Ready to go?

Haley: Yes, dad.

Simon: I'm about to get out of here.

Lola: Thanks, guys.

Simon: *goes on the phone to look at Lola's pic*

Meanwhile, Jamie taking care of her mom, Amy, she's been very sick for over a month and she keeps taking her medicine to help.
