Narrator: Last time on Make It Pop
You can be my assistant director.
Sun Hi: The bands all I've got and PopularGirl15's trashing it.
Sun Hi: Whats with him?
Jodi: I don't notice him because I pay no attention to him
It's Jared, he said, I need to see you.
It could be the most pivotal moment of my life, oh.
Jodi: Corki.
You can't just go running like a puppy to a pork chop
every time a boy calls for you.
I don't know much about boys,
but from what I understand they can be...
What's that word for when your feelings
keep changing back and forth?
Fickle?
No, no, no, no.
That's a fried pickle.
Just because Jared was into you at Homecoming,
doesn't mean he still is.
Boys have short emotional attention spans.
Medical fact.
We don't want you to get your hopes up and then be crushed.
You guys are acting like I'm expecting a marriage proposal!
Maybe it's because you keep walking around like this.
Dun dun du da, dun dun du da, dun dun duh da da duh da dah.
Corki: I do not.
I'll be fine.
Do you really think she's gonna be fine?
Could go either way.
But now on to my new plan.
I've been calling them fiendish plots, but go on.
Mr. Stark didn't cast me because of a tiny "issue" with Valerie.
So, now I'm going to vlog my feelings
until he sees the error of his ways.
Thoughts?
Sounds like a great plan with no possible way of going wrong.
I know sarcasm when I hear it.
I'm doing it anyway.
Corki!
You came.
Of course I did, Jared.
I need to ask you a question...
Of course you do, Jared.
This isn't easy for me.
Of course it isn't, Jared.
Will you...
Of course I will, Jared!
Help me with Valerie?
Of course I do Jared--
Wait. What!?
She can't act.
She can't sing.
She can't focus on anything but my perfect smile,
square jaw, and astonishing chin.
Corki?
Sorry.
You were saying?
She's going to ruin the play and I need your help.
I have an awkward history with Valerie.
So do I.
We dated briefly.
Star football player and cheerleader,
a tale older than time.
Why do you want my help?
You're the smartest person I know.
Well...
I'm not sure...
I knew you couldn't say no to me.
There is one other thing I have to tell you.
Yes?
I love yoga and I'm going to be late for class.
So I'll see you later.

Jodi, are you okay?
Yeah, sorry.
I just wasn't watching.
Because you were looking at Caleb.
What?
Pft.
No.
Caleb who?
And Caleb, you seem to be acting peppier than usual.
No.
I'm acting like I always do,
Slightly hyper and fairly confused.
Anyway, I should get changed.
Yeah, me too.
I mean not change, just I have got to go.
Later...
What was that all about?
They've both been acting strange lately.
How'd it go with Jared?
Great...
Yeah, really good...
it went fine.
An unmitigated disaster.
Thanks for asking!
Boys.
We don't even need them anymore.
The invention of the selfie has rendered them obsolete.
Ms. Hurley: In an effort to ensure everyone maintains
the mandated 3.0 grade point average,
we administer periodic grade summaries
here at MacKendrick Prep.
Good work.
Congratulations, Miss Chang.
4.6?
How is that even possible?
Bonus questions.
You did more work than you had to?
Ms. Hurley: Sun Hi...
2.999 rounded up to three.
Math... you've found me a loophole!
For those of you who have dipped below the requisite GPA
will be assigned a Senior Study Advisor to help you.
Job one at MacKendrick Prep is to make sure you leave
with more knowledge than you arrived with.
Okay Jodi, I'm going to lower my voice here
so as to not draw attention to you.
That just drew everybody's attention to me.
I'm afraid you got a 2.5.
Now, everybody heard that.
The good news is, I assigned you a great study advisor.
You're gonna love her.
And don't worry, this will stay our little secret.
♪
You ready to go?
I thought you'd never ask!
But where?
Ooh, remember when we went to San Sebastian Pizza?
Best first date ever.
I meant, are you ready to rehearse.
Oh.
That.
Sure.
I guess we can get pizza afterwards.
Okay, repeat after me: The lips, the teeth,
the tip of the tongue, the lips, the teeth, the tip of the--
Is this a kissing warm-up?
It's a vocal exercise!
A time-honored way of promoting crisp and
frontal consonant placement!
Uh huh.
Look, if we're not going out can we pick this up later?
We just started! Believe me Jared, I want to be here with you.
But I have to go help some kids study
to show how compassionate I am.
It looks good on college applications.
Bye!
♪
You can have him now, but I'll be back.
I want to say something really, really witty...
But I'm going to take the higher road
and spare you my comeback...
since I haven't really thought of one.
Okay.
She has no commitment to the play.
Why did she even audition?
I think she wanted to get close to me.
That's weird.
Well since you're here, do you wanna run lines?
I'd love to.
Alright are you familiar with vocal exercises?
Who isn't?
Red leather, yellow leather, red leather, yellow leather...
Despite one tiny, little prank,
that just so happened to be hilarious
the school's musical will now be denied my awesomeness.
Hey, kid!
How do you feel about the musical taking place without the
best singer on campus?
Speechless.
My thoughts exactly.
Mr. Stark!
Can I talk to you about your decision to punish me?
Are you having second thoughts yet?
I told you, Sun Hi, actions have consequences.
I get that, but this particular consequence may or may not
change the course of history!
I'm leaning towards "may not."
Aren't you afraid to deny the world my talent?
I'm leaning towards ah not really.
Have you heard Valerie sing?
Of course not.
Only dogs hear notes that shrill!
Le e me alone.
Think of all those poor dogs.
Listening to sour notes.
The dogs, Mr. Stark.
Show some compassion.
Can't Corki be my student advisor?
She knows I'm a visual learner.
And I learn better while reading fashion magazines.
It's called the Senior Study Advisor Program, Miss Mapa.
You need a senior.
Corki is a freshman.
The MacKendrick Handbook is very specific about these things.
Ah, here's your study advisor now.
You?
Look at you two getting along.
Fun!
It's for college.
So you ready to get started?
What can you teach me?
The 3 R's?
Rudeness, Ruining and ARguing?
I have nothing to learn from you.
Not according to your grades.
Says here you have some pretty embarrassing scores.
Hey, that's private.
Don't worry.
I swore everyone I told to secrecy.
Now, read chapters three through nine in this book.
How many weeks do I get to finish?
You have one seventh of a week to finish it.
I think even you can do that math.
Now lets make this quick,
my future fiancé is waiting to take me on a pizza date.
I thought you were gluten-free.
Only when it's cool.
Mr. Stark, as assistant director,
I'm very protective of this cast
and would never throw anybody under the bus.
What's your issue, Jared?
Valerie needs to be fired immediately.
Okay, what?
She's not taking this seriously.
No one said this would be easy.
She's probably just insecure.
Most actors are.
Luckily we're not like that.
What are you staring at?
Do I have something on my face?
Looks like I'm stuck with her.
Not necessarily.
I was combing through the Student Handbook
and I found this...
"Although supervised by faculty,
creative control of theatrical productions
must ultimately lie with the students.
Therefore any student assistant director
shall have the power to make creative decisions."
That's fantastic!
What does it mean?
YYou have the power and! Mr. Stark can't stop you.
Corki, I knew you'd come through!
About that moment that we had at the dance...
We had a great time.
But it's good to be able to work closely like this
without any romantic stuff getting in the way.
Totally.
One minute he seems to like me, the next,
he acts like we're just friends.
Boys.
Fried pickles for sure.
Right, Jodi?
Helloooo, Jodi.
You've had your nose in that book all day.
Valerie is making me power-learn!
I have to read like a hundred chapters in one day!
Luckyyyyyyy!

I'm going to ace that test.
Atta girl!
Good grades are important.
What?
They help keep adults off your back.
That's, like, the most important thing in the world.
It'll also help if you plan on
getting into a design school some day.
I hate it when you guys are reasonable.
If it makes you feel any better, the time you spend with Valerie
is giving me more time alone with Jared.
It does.
Whenever I feel like giving Valerie a piece of my mind,
I'll just think about how I'm doing you a solid.
Look at that a new study method.
You're making progress already.
Mr. Stark,
Mr. Stark!
Hold up.
Mr. Stark.
Care to comment on the rumors that your Dorothy
can only sing notes that Toto can hear?
Art is pain, Sun Hi.
Sometimes painful to the artist.
Sometimes painful for the audience.
Really?
Not in my experience.
Have you noticed a dip in ticket sales
since deciding not to cast me?
Leave me alone!
We're not close to done yet!
What else you got?
You did not read all of that.
Come at me, bro!
Quiz me!
Yeah, I'm serious now.
All right.
Then you can move on to learning the characteristics of minerals
and describing the process by which they're formed.
Wait.
You're supposed to help me.
Not just assign busywork.
I am helping you.
But I also have an issue with a certain friend of yours
who keeps interfering with my personal life, so
No one is leaving this room until I know
everything I need to know.
Fine.
Sun Hi, have you seen Jodi?
Nope.
I'm on the hunt for someone else.
How come?
No reason.
I mean I don't even know why I asked.
It's not like I'm not looking for her or anything.
I mean, Jodi who?
Hey!
Have you two been studying all night?
Maybe it's time you took a break.
There are people not looking for you.
Had to study.
The test is today.
Good luck with it.
Mr. Stark!
Aaaaah!
Sun Hi, not a good time.
I'm late for a meeting.
I wanted you to know that my vlog is finished and uploaded.
Look!
Oh, good for you.
Now, we just have to wait for my public support to pour in.
Hold on.
People aren't talking about me.
They're talking about you.
They love you.
And they love your catch phrase--
Leave me alone!
Yeah, that's the one.
I've been out-webbed.
elieve I knew I should've read the whole handbook..
So Valerie's demoted.
I just hope you have a plan to replace her.
I mean big decisions like this make me very uncomfortable.
It's why I've lived with my mother for so long.
I do have a plan: Corki Chang.
The Cowardly Lion?
I've been rehearsing with her lately, she's amazing.
She deserves a much bigger role.
Much bigger.
I hope you know what you're doing.
Is it time for rehearsal yet?
Am I late?
What day is it?
Hi Jared.
Your decision, you tell her.
I'm sorry I missed rehearsal, Jared.
But I'm ready to work now.
I promise.
Valerie, we need to talk...
Okay!
Valerie: Ahhhhhhh!!!
Valerie?
Are you okay?
I got demoted from the play.
Really?
Rejection is an entirely new experience for me.
I think I hate it.
In more upbeat news, I crushed my science test.
It'll bring up my GPA.
How'd that happen?
I was well tutored.
Oh.
Well I guess that is good news.
To be honest,
You're a passionate and dedicated student...
and I'm...
I'm... very proud of you, Jodi.
Sun Hi: That's different.
Jodi: She's had a rough day.
Let's just leave it at that.
You think we were wrong about her?
Valerie: Out of my way, you freshman!
Nope.
Guess not.
Not even close.
I've got a whole new vision I'm going to pitch to Stark.
I think you're my mouse.
Do you mean muse?
No I think it's pronounced "mouse."
Like when you hear a squeaking and you go,
"What's that? What's that?"
and then you see your mouse and you go eek!
And then you get a great idea!
Uh.
Sure.
Like a EurEEKah moment.
Go on.
Listen up everybody!
I know you've all been working very hard,
but from here on out you're gonna take a backseat to Corki.
Oh, that's not necessary--
She's the real star.
The rest of us are just negative space.
Jared, you really don't have to do this--
Of course I do.
I've seen what you're capable of, Corki.
The rest of these people pale in comparison.
It's like you're the big dipper and they're like...
What's that smaller, lesser star formation?
The little dipper?
It doesn't matter.
You're the star!
Not so loud...
Oh, let them leave.
We don't need them.
We have each other...
