S1 EP3 - Icicle

Nate was walking up to the school when he saw Courtney get off the bus. He walked up to her.

Nate: What's up?

Courtney: Not much, you?

Nate: All boring on my end.

They walk up to the entrance where they see the damage to the school's sign from their fight with Brainwave.

Nate: What kind of a public menace would do that?

Courtney: You're so not funny.

Nate: You don't believe that.

They walk inside into chaotic halls as everyone was practicing acts. Courtney and Nate separate as they each go to their lockers. Nate opens his locker, only for it to be slammed shut by Cindy Burman walking past.

Cindy: Watch yourself, loser.

Nate: (quietly) Okay, spawn of Satan.

Cindy stops and turns around.

Cindy: What did you just say?

Nate: Who me? Nothing.

Cindy walks away and Nate opens his locker back up to puts his bag in. He looks over to see Joey Zarick practising his magic on Courtney.

Joey: Go ahead and pick a card, any card.

Courtney: Okay. Uh...

She picks out the 3 of clubs.

Joey: All right, take a look at it. Don't let me see it. Remember it, though. Okay? You got it?

Courtney: Got it.

Joey: All right, put it anywhere back in the deck.

She puts it in the deck.

Joey: All right. Thanks for letting me practise on you, by the way. Today is the Regional Talent Competition. Cindy and Jenny always win, though. It's Nebraska so twerking still packs a punch. Anyway, uh, now for the aforementioned mind-blowing. Courtney from California...

He pushes up a card. The card he revealed was the 7 of hearts.

Joey: Is this your card?

She takes a while to answer.

Courtney: Yes. The seven of hearts. Oh, my gosh. How did you do that?

Everyone watching clapped.

Joey: You can keep that for good luck.

Courtney: Oh thanks.

Joey and the crowd walk on. Courtney walks away and Nate follows on.

Nate: Wow, how does he do it?

Courtney: Shut up, I couldn't say no.

Nate: Suppose not, you're too kind for that, Whitmore.

Courtney: Maybe, you're not nice enough, Tennyson.

Nate: So mean-spirited.

They walk until Courtney sees Yolanda at her locker with 'slut' written on her locker. Nate continues walking as he didn't notice that Courtney had strayed off. Nate stopped at looked back to see her walking up to Yolanda.

Courtney: Do you have any nails polish remover? I... I bet we could just clean this right off.

Yolanda closes her locker and walks away. Nate walks up to Courtney.

Nate: Okay, you need to stop that.

Courtney: What, helping?

Nate: No, stop doing the opposite. Yolanda's had a tough time in the past three months, so just give her time.
