Elle & Miles ‣ their story [Elle]

Do you know how much money you can make off of this? Potentially thousands. I'm sorry. It's okay. No. Are you okay? 20 bucks. Hey, let me help you with that. Yeah. Great. So great. Okay. Miles, hi. Hey. Thanks. So you don't hate me either? Should I hate you? Preferably not. We have 20 bucks. That's a steal. Okay, settled. I will continue not hating you. Are you sure you're all right? Thank you. 30. Does this school not have a football team? If so, I can't imagine they're very highly motivated since... Here you go. Oh, it's really something. A vegetarian option, please. Yeah, football's not really a thing here. So who do they room for? I have to come clean. Jacob's mom's never going to make it in the art world. I am so sorry. I know what you're thinking. Of course, the LA girl's a vegetarian. I think girls here think cheering for boys is lame. So they just cheer for themselves? But factory farming's a major contributor to global warming. Plus, baby cows are really cute. Agreed. Well, you could have convinced me. Actually, you did convince me. That's why I bought it. You got a name? Elle Woods. Yeah. Elle, are you okay? Well, I don't run, but I do walk with conviction. Thanks again. What? Uh, nothing. Okay, uh, heights? 5'3". And kitten heels. Miles, this is so nice, but you can go. Like, seriously, please go. I can't, actually. You could be concussed. Fine. Why are you dressed for a sting operation? On the drive over here, you claimed your favorite color was charcoal. I did not say that. Did I say that? Just testing your short-term memory. You passed. I'm trying to hide from a boy who might go here. One time I saw him drinking what I think was a coffee, but what am I supposed to do? No. Let me see. Okay, so this boy that you are avoiding, is he dangerous somehow? Only emotionally. And who is that handsome young gentleman who seems very concerned about your well-being? He's just a friend. He's dating a girl I've been desperate to befriend. I didn't realize it until too late. Oh, honey. I knew you were capable of lies, Kimberly. But I cannot believe you would scrawl that vile insult on my locker. Al? Shannon! You're here! Uh, see you later. See ya. Yeah, sorry if the truth hurts. What truth? I've never even kissed a guy. You're both here. My point is, I could kiss a zillion guys. You do not write S-L-U-T on someone's locker. What if the S-L-U-T is swooning over her wannabe besties B-O-Y? Oh, actually, you can settle an argument for us. We're splitting a bagel. Which one's better? Miles, that's not even- I've been friends with Shannon since kindergarten. So I think it's time she knew that she's friends with a slut in sheep's clothing. Blueberry. Or everything. You want me to choose between the two of you? Get a boyfriend who isn't Miles and throw Kimberly off the scent. That's genius. Sorry, Miles. Gotta go blueberry. Girl code. Oh, I see. So you two are teaming up against me. Always. You have absolutely no proof whatsoever of this alleged crush. Then maybe I need to find proof. To think we could have had everything together. I don't know about everything. They're so cute together. Oh, you meant the bagel. I didn't realize they were together. I think it's new. I'm just a girl. I think you gotta- Here, I'll- No, don't. You must be Elle. Hi. Chad Cohen. Charlie. I mean, I want it there. It's mine. Dustin doesn't really seem like her type, does he? Chad and Charlie live with their son down the street. Oh, that's nice. Hey, sit yourself. I have my own. Uh, Dustin, huh? Uh, yeah. Yeah, it's new. I kind of like someone here who I really, really can't like. So the gay couple across the street my mom's obsessed with? It's my dad's, yeah. I guess I didn't really know about you and Shannon, right? Yeah, not so new. Two years. But how do you unlike someone which makes you my neighbor? Uh, can I ask you something? Uh, it's stupid. Well, it helps if they do something really bad to you. Did I, like, do something wrong? I can leave if you- No, no. You can stay. Miles and I broke up last night. It's fine. I'm fine. Ever since I got back from my New York trip this summer, it's been strained. I feel like he was almost relieved when I dumped him. No. I'm sorry about earlier. No, I mean, it's fine. I mean, how could you? We barely know each other, right? You were right. It's been a little weird. No. We'll see at the finish. Honestly, in my experience, if you really like someone, it's kind of undeniable. It's like a fast-moving train. Can I help? Oh, sure. Yeah. I guess it's gonna be harder to avoid me now, though. Triple checking for one that says 48 hours. What if you really need friends? You're very sparkly. It's an oil-free shimmer. And it is unisex, if you're interested. Excuse me. Are you lost? I messed up. I think it's gonna rain. Here, stand under the tree. Hey, I'm not the one who's supposed to be in algebra right now. Okay, how did you know that? If you're long enough, you can just kind of feel it. I have to own it. So are you and Dustin. If I'm being perfectly honest, we were never actually dating. Kimberly thought I had a crush on somebody else. It's not that I don't want to hold your hand. I get it. I just want to do it right. Crush on whom? I'll talk to Shannon face-to-face, girl-to-girl, and I'll tell her that we kissed. Hopefully, Shannon appreciates the honesty and forgives me. I am unable to disclose that information at this moment. You know what? And then I'll gauge your reaction and we'll go from there. I kissed Elle. What? After homecoming, I kissed Elle. But now is obviously not the time. Shannon, Shannon, I'm sorry. Get out. Just let me take this to your car. Get away from me, Miles. I didn't mean to hurt you, Shannon. At my mom's memorial, I am broken. Hi. I don't want to be around you. And you can tell Elle thanks for her help tonight, but I am done with her too. Shannon. I told you to let me talk to her. I've known her my whole life. I just wanted it to come from me. You don't spring this on someone at their mom's memorial. I know that now. So now not only did I break girl code by kissing her ex, I broke it again by failing to tell her I kissed her ex. What is he doing here? Hey, Dustin called me. Filled me in. Maybe I shouldn't have told Shannon. You were tiki trunk at her mom's memorial. I know. I screwed up. But we both tried calling her. She doesn't want to talk to us. I'm not sure what else we can do. Nothing. We do nothing. No more extended eye contact. No more leaning against lockers. No more... Speaking to each other? I think we should avoid anything involving mouths. Can I ask, respectfully, why? Yellow font on white paper. That's not what I told them. I mean, she already knows. She's not here. Because it's just not me, Miles. I'm not that kind of girl. So I guess if we're changing the dance to accommodate your TV viewing schedule, that means that you're going? Hey, are you going with anyone? Um... What's going on? Maybe you are that kind of girl. I should go. Yeah, me too. Because this is a person who also kissed Miles the night my mom died. Are you for real? I know this all sounds bad, but... It sounds bad because it is bad. Do you have a crush on Dustin? I don't. I mean, if anyone in Seattle was crush material, it was Miles. Oh, I just spoke to Al. Yeah? Yeah. How... how is she? Oh, well, you know, she's great. So, uh, has she mentioned anything else or... Like, anyone else? What do you mean? Like, uh, I don't know. Anything about Seattle or... Anything?
