It's Complicated — Episode 1

I like the school heartthrob. The school heartthrob likes the it girl. The it girl likes the school bully, and the school bully likes me.

So, the it girl made a decision. Why don't we just, all four of us get together? The heartthrob. Fine, that's the only way we can all be happy.

Whatever, let's just roll with it. Me. Am I the only one with a brain here? I finally worked up the courage to confess

to Ethan Johnson, the school heartthrob. Ann Smith, thanks for your feelings, but honestly, I think we'd work better as study partners than as a Classic Ethan. Even rejection came with maxed out politeness. Bro is literally too nice. I'm dead.

We're in the same homeroom. I'm number one in our grade. He's number two. Some people in our class actually ship us. I like him, but he clearly doesn't feel the same. I forced a smile and asked,

So, is there someone you do like? If not, maybe I still had a shot. I like Vivian Brown. My heart dropped.

Anne, can you keep this between us? Y-yeah, sure. Vivian is the school-it girl. Striking features. Aloof vibe. She and Ethan actually look good together.

That explained why he always takes the stairs by the seventh period hallway. And why he carried her to the nurse's office when she fell that one time. Wait! Hold up!
