My name is Lucy Lewis.
And my high school...
...has officially gone weird.
(Talking fast) Can't stay, Luce! Just wanted to say
stellar job on those free school breakfasts last term.
Hashtag reluctant hero.
Forward slash you rock!!
Thanks.
Gotta motor, I'm late for P.E.
So, an anonymous Instagrammer
is posting photos of Hills High's best
and worst dressed students.
Now everyone is way too worried about what wear.
But I have a stunning plan.
I'm ignoring it until it goes away.
Hey Jess.
It's J'ess.
I added an apostrophe they're huge in New York right now.
I bet they're still the same size.
You should be careful with your whole look.
Don't want to be Instagram's next worst dressed.
I choose not to engage.
Plus, it's less of a "look" and more of a "don't look".
I forgot you're self-righteous nerd with...
... wild ship Malaysia.
It's mild hip dysplasia.
That's what I said.
Not engaging.
Well, later loser.
Actually, it's Lucy.
Is it really?
J'ess is a real j'erk.
Yo, LL Cool J.
Has cool Mr. Kinloch got a cool offer
for his coolest over-achieving do-gooder?
You say cool too much.
I signed you up as a peer tutor.
Cool, right?
That is the opposite of cool.
That's you, Lucy Lawless warrior princess.
You gots to go with your strengths.
I think we've established I'm neither edgy nor ironically hip.
Just hip displaced.
Hey, did you catch Hills Highs and Lows on the 'gram this morning?
I choose not to engage.
As should you.
Yeah, I know it's whack.
But I gots to make sure they're not posting teachers outfits, yo.
That would be straight up unwoke.
Mr. Spraggon is best dressed?!
Man, that guy is so last Tuesday.
You should ask the popularettes, Lila and Isla.
They know all about that stuff.
Mos def LMNOP. Mos def.
You won't be needing those books today, dog.
What subject is this?
English.
Sweet, I'm fluent already.
(SFX multiple text alerts.)
Ruby is today's worst dressed student.
This is suboptimal.
No one follows Hills Highs and Lows...
Um, everyone does!
Even people who aren't engaging for goodie-one-shoe reasons.
Click and unfollow and it'll go away?
Only it won't.
This is on the internet forever.
It only has 17,000 followers.
Are you trying to help?
Yeah?
Try harder.
Kia kaha wahine.
You know personally, I admire your unconventional approach to fashion.
Who cares what's traditionally flattering.
I'm going to choose to take that as a compliment, Dave.
Hey, nerd.
I heard you're gonna be a tutor?
I am the geekiest girl in the land.
Nah, you'll be sweet.
You're so smart and ... um
... and punctual.
Hello?! Teenage crisis here!
Don't let the haters get you down, Rubes.
Be cool. Exhibit A.
He so likes you.
Boys like Dave don't like girls like me.
Sweet threads, Ruby.
You're so brave with your fashion choices.
Sarcastic eyeroll, yawn.
Especially because it must be really hard finding cool stuff...
... in that size.
Not engaging.
Forget it.
You're a real mean girl, Jess.
Excuse me, what loser?
You heard me.
You're a mean, unnecessary apostrophe having
dumb clothes wearing...
SFX School Bell
... and your grades are well below average.
Whoa!
OMG, yo?
Y'all better check yourselves
before you wreck yourselves.
Looks like it's principal o'clock, Lucy Lips.
You too, Boy George.
Google it, girlfriend.
At Hills High
we use our words to help not hinder.
In my defence she was bullying Ruby about her outfit.
In my defence her outfit was hideous.
Like someone else I could mention...
This Instagram account is making people go crazy.
Unreasonable teenage behaviour was around way before the interwebs.
Here it comes. Lucy detention.
Lucy...
... you did the right thing.
Huh?
Bullying girls for what they wear is not cool and it's not clever.
Jess detention.
It's pronounced J'ess.
That's all I s'aid.
What the flip just happened?
I heard Lucy totally stood up to J'ess!
I heard she punch her in the face.
I heard that she punched you in the gym.
I heard she punched her in the lunch hour.
I heard she didn't do it as well as I would have done it.
(Talking fast) I heard Lucy was so mean
that J'ess cried so hard she burst a tear duct
and had to be sent to hospital but they got her confused with another patient called Jess
and gave her an experimental drug and now she has the tail!
Lucy is so cool.
O.M flipping G hashtag don't be a bystander.
Retweet.
You should totally come online shopping with us tomorrow.
Online shopping?
Goodbye loser nerd.
Hello slightly popular nerd?
I smell a makeover.
I smell tacos.
(SFX Principal Announcement.)
Due to recent events I've decided
Hills High will now have
a strict student dress code.
Dress code?
No distracting bright colours
tight clothes
spaghetti straps
short skirts or inappropriate outfits.
And it's all thanks to Lucy Lewis.
I think we're actually really busy tomorrow.
Unfriended.
I have a bad feeling about this.
But I gots to check ... blurgh
