Output: George Freddie Highmore is a loner high school student with a penchant for drawing and skipping class. He has a nihilistic view of the world which is why he never does homework and skips school frequently. His academic delinquency puts him on academic probation. One day while on the school roof he encounters another classmate, Sally Emma Roberts, smoking. When a teacher appears, George pulls out a cigarette and takes the fall for Sally. The two become friends. On career day, George meets a young artist, Dustin Michael Angarano, and finds him inspiring. He brings Sally with him to visit Dustin at his studio in Brooklyn and it becomes apparent that Dustin finds Sally attractive. Sally invites George to a New Years Eve party. At the party, she dances with an exboyfriend and George gets drunk, goes outside, throws up, and falls asleep in an alley. Sally finds him there and takes him to her place, putting him to bed on a pullout next to her bed. They grow close and George gets more involved in school. On Valentines Day, the two go out to dinner and Sally starts asking questions what he thinks of her. George is evasive, and she asks him if hell have sex with her. George freezes.
