Peter, Man, I Don't Want To Fight!
Peter: Why Not? You're A Loser!
Everyone Knows It, We All Talk About You Behind Your Back!
You Gonna Hit Me, Huh?
You Gonna Hit Me?
(takes Deep Breath)
Inhale, Count.
Exhale.
I'm Not Gonna Hit You.
We'll Deal When We're Chill.
(sighs)
(applause)
Ms. Sauve: Nice, Riley!
You Took Yourself Out Of A Volatile Moment.
Anger Is Just A Reaction.
To Sadness, Fear,
Insecurity.
Acknowledge The Real Problem,
And You'll Be Free.
Thanks, Everyone.
(bell Rings)
Peter: So, Have You Talked To Sauve About The "real" Problem?
You Know, I Wish I Could Tell Everyone.
Meet New People, Make New Friends.
Gay Friends?
Anya: There You Are!
I Need To Interview Degrassi's Most Eligible Bachelor

Anya: Yeah, You Won By A Landslide!

Does Riley Stavros Like Blondes Or Brunettes?
Huh? Uh...
They're All Good.
Keeping An Open Mind!
So, What's A Girl Gotta Do To Get Your Attention?
Just Um...
Be Nice?
You Realize I'm Being Marked On This
For Communications Class, Right?
I'm Sorry, I'm Trying.
(record Button Beeps)
Anya: Riley Stavros,
Man Of Mystery.
Mr. Armstrong: Most Of You Did Very Well On Your Mock Exams.
You Should Be Pleased.
Kc: Mr. Armstrong?
Can I Get Some Tutoring Before The Exam?
Well, It's Late For That, Kc.
I'll See What I Can Do.
We Could Study Together.
I Mean, I Need To Review Too.
It Wouldn't Be Weird, Studying With Your Ex?
Why Would It Be? We're Just Two Classmates
Helping Each Other Out, Right?
No Big Deal.
If You Want.
That'd Be Great.
(sighs Happily)
(calming Music Plays)
Yoga Instructor: And... Release.
Continue To Cool Down At Your Own Speed.
Namaste.
Zane: See 'ya Next Time, Riley.
(sighs) See 'ya, Zane.
Good Luck On The Biology Final!
Anya: That Was So Relaxing!
Thanks For Letting Me Tag Along.
Anyway, Um...
You Said You Were Gonna Tell Me Who You Had A Crush On.
Oh Um, Uh, I Guess... Nobody Right Now.
Really?!
Riley: Anya...
I Have Something To Tell You.
It Might Freak You Out.
Well, Lucky My Chakras Are Aligned.
Okay, Um...
I-i Like...
I Like Guys.
What?
You Do? Are You Sure?
Yeah. Very Sure.
(laughs) This So Exciting!
Am I The First Person You've Told?
Only Peter Knows, But-
You Totally Have A Crush On Zane!
Riley: Wha-?! (laughs Self Consciously)
No! I Mean, He's- He's Not Even... Gay.
Mmm...
Oh, Forget It.
Let's Just Keep This To Ourselves, Okay?
Yeah.
Believe Me, I've Got Stuff I Wouldn't Want People To Know.
So, It Goes In The Vault.
Promise.
Thanks.
For Being Cool.
(kc Sighs)
I Should Know This Stuff!
Clare: How'd You Get So Far Behind?
You Used To Be So Good At Math.
You Know, All The Stuff With Coach Carson.
Not Really.
I Mean, I Saw Coach Carson Get Taken Away,
But There Were A Lot Of Rumours.
(sighs)
He Wound Up Wanting To Teach Me A Lot More Than Basketball.
I Mean, He Didn't Touch Me,
But He Wanted Me To Watch Porn,
And... Do Other Stuff.
After All That,
Studying Kinda Wasn't Important.
We'll Get You Through This Test, Kc.
I Promise.
Clare, Jenna And I Are-
Oh! Kc, It's-it's Okay.
We're Just Hanging Out Like Classmates.
Friends.
That'll Make Being In The Same Classes
For The Next Three Years A Lot Easier.

Anya: I Have Intel. Riley: What?
Riley, Zane's Gay!
Says Who? How Do You Know?
It's Not That Big A Secret,
Once You Start Asking Around.
Well, Good For Him.
So, You Gonna Ask Him Out?
I-i Don't Know!
Well, You'd Better Decide.
Hey!
I Think I Nailed It!
That Bio Exam?
Oh!
Thanks For Wishing Me Luck.
Hey, Great.
Now That I'm Done Studying, I Don't, Uh...
Know What To Do With Myself.
Uh, Wanna Hang?
Sure! Uh, Coffee At The Dot?
If You're Free.
'kay.
Cool! I'll... See You In An Hour.
(riley Laughs)
You Have A Date!
No, It's Just Uh...
Wait, Is It?
Don't Be Nervous, What's The Worst That Could Happen?
(sighs)
(sighs Heavily)
Right On Time!
They Don't Call Me Big Ben For Nothing.
They Call You "big Ben?"
No, Not Really.
(laughs)
The Coffee Sucks Here, You Wanna Go Somewhere Else?
Oh!
Sure.
I Got 48 Squared For Question C.
Uh... No.
You Forgot To Reduce, Right There.
I Miss This Stuff.
I'm Glad We're Getting To Be Friends Again.
Hi! Mmwah!
I Just Finished My History Exam,
And, Have No Rehearsal 'til Tomorrow!
Hope You Got Lots Of Studying Done!
Thanks, Clare. See You Tomorrow?
Unless You Wanna Hang With Us?
I'm Gonna Really Make Sure I Really Know This Stuff.
You Guys Have Fun.
So... Invite Me For Dinner?
But What About Your Exam?
(sighs) I'm Gonna Flunk Anyway,
I Thought You And Clare Crammed.
Yeah, But Still.
It's Hopeless.
Well, Why Don't You Ask Clare For Help?
She Did Help.
No, I Mean... During The Exam.
She Wouldn't Wanna See You Flunk Math, Would She?
This Is Saint Clare We're Talking About.
You Said You Were Friends Again.
So, What Are Friends For?
(sighs)
Zane: Whoo!
I Feel Like Spider Man!
Riley: Sometimes I Come Here After The Construction Guys Go Home.
You Can Kinda Be Alone.
Secret Clubhouse, Huh?
What Are The Rules? No Girls Allowed?
Guys Only Club.
And Uh, What Do We Do?
Well, If I Tell You, I'd Have To Kill You.
Wow, This Club Sure Has A Lot Of Secrets.
Are We Hiding From The World Up Here?
(sighs)
It's Good To Be Away From People We Know.
Less Stuff To Explain If Anyone Sees Us.
You Mean... Explain That You're Gay.
So You Are.
What Are You Ashamed Of?
Security Guard: Hey!
No Trespassing!
We're Talking!
Not Any More. Let's Go.
Get Your Hands Off Me!
Security Guard: Come On!
Get Your Hands Off-
I Said, Get Your Hands Off Me!
Inhale, Count.
Exhale.
Inhale, Count.
Exhale.
You're Okay.
(sighs) You're Okay, Riley.
Clare!
Can We Uh, Run Through One More Equation?
The Test Starts In Two Minutes!
What More Can We Do?
(sighs Heavily)
Sit Beside Me.
You Could Share.
You Mean, Cheat?
I'm A Friend, Asking His Friend For Help.
We Could Get Zeroes, Get Kicked Out Of Gifted, Suspended-
You're Right!
You're Right.
Sorry I Asked.
It's Cool How You Always Do The Right Thing.
(bell Rings)
Good Luck.
Mr. Armstrong: Okay, So...
You Work Out The Equations,
And Fill In Your Answer Sheet.
Everyone Ready?
Begin.
Pa Announcement: Attention Degrassi: Come Out And Support

Hey, Can We Talk?
Are You Sure You Wanna Be Seen With Me?
Aw Man, I'm Really Sorry About Yesterday.
Seriously, You Left Me With That Rent-a-cop?
What's Wrong With You?
I've Been Dealing With Some Anger Issues.
I Had To Leave Before I Did Something Stupid,
Like, Punched Him Out!
The Yoga, That Part Of It Too?
Well, It's Helping.
Sounds Like You're Working On It.
So...
Does Uh, Therapy Include Coming To The Lgbt Mixer Tonight?
(sighs Heavily)
So Really, You're Not Coming Out At All.
Maybe Not.
You're Gonna Be Lonely, Riley.
I Hope Your Privacy's Worth It.
Zane...
(jenna Giggles)
Clare!
Hey.
I Was Just Telling Jenna How You Totally Bailed Me Out
On The Final.
Well, I'm Not Exactly Proud Of Cheating.
I Thought We Might Keep It A Secret?
Jenna: Oh, It's Okay!
I Told Kc You'd Bend The Rules For Him.
It'll Be... All Our Secret.
S-so This Was Your Idea?
You're A Good Friend, Clare Bear!
First You Cheat On Me With Her,
Now You Cheat Off Of Me Because Of Her.
Jenna's... Just Trying To Help Me!
But You Used Me!
So You And Your Perky Little Girlfriend
Could Slack Off And Make Out!
Clare, Come On!
Clare: Don't Talk To Me!

Yes, Kc, You Wanna Get Us Started?
I Cheated.
You Cheated?
How?
I Looked At Clare's Answers.
Every One Of Them.
She Didn't Know.
All Right.
Well, Head To The Office.
We'll Discuss This With Ms. Hatzilakos After Class.
(siren Wails)
Oh, Riley! Perfect Timing!
Can You Help Me Carry Some Of These Up, Man?
I Can't Go Up There.
I Got Halfway Up, But I...
I Just Can't.
There's A Lot Of Heteros Up There.
You Can Pretend You're One Of Us.
We Don't Mind, Really!
But I Do! I'm Sick Of Pretending.
Oh Okay, Well, You Can Sell Drinks.
And Be My Assistant.
(sighs With Relief) Thanks, Man.
We'd Better Hurry.
Ah, You Nervous?
I Feel Like I'm Gonna Hurl.
Okay Well, Let's Hurry Then.

Decaf Tea, Please.

But I'm Glad I Owned Up.
Great. You Want A Medal?
Clare, I Realized Something.
All My Problems This Year Started
After You And I Broke Up.
Oh. So It's My Fault?!
If Anything, It's Jenna's.
All My Problems With Carson Started
After... Jenna And I Got Together,
And The Whole Cheating Thing Was Her Idea.
You're Pathetic.
I Don't Care What Happened With Coach Carson,
Or, Or How Hard Your Semester's Been.
As Soon As Things Get Rough,
You Blame Everyone But Yourself.
I-i Just Want Us To Be Friends!
You Don't Know What You Want.
See You In September, Kc.

So Chances Are, We'd Have Fun Again?
Good Plan.
Um...
