The girls Kristina is teamed with don't seem to run with her crowd, but she's friendly with them. She admits she's not much of an artist, so she works on writing the proposal. Next it's health class. Teacher Deborah Freeman lets everyone in and asks them to break out their current-event articles. The kids may not be clear on the vocabulary Freeman is teaching, but it's a lesson in growth and development they are familiar with even if they don't recognize it that format.
Freeman engages the class in an active discussion and role-playing scenario.
At the end of the class, Brittany stops outside the door, catches Kristina's eye, smiles and waves. Kristina gives a quick wave. The teacher catches on, but ignores it, because Brittany doesn't make a nuisance of herself. The bell catches Freeman off guard. The gang meets Kristina and heads around the corner to her locker, which she claims is a mess but is in perfect order.
