Vote the non-douchebag party!
Why is my name on this with Jenny?
You've been Max Owens' bitch for 16 years.
I got nominated, and the girl I love hates me.
I'm gonna ask your mother to become
Mrs. coach jeriba sinclair.
What the...
This started as the best week of my life.
But now it feels like my head
is going to explode.
I hardly know where to start to fix what's gone wrong.

[Water sloshes]
Morning, Berger.
Not even the sight
of my lifelong Nemesis kissing another guy
can pull me out of this emotional tailspin.
Looking good, ladies.
No, the only thing that will save me
from permanent depression
is winning back the girl I love.
My name is RJ Berger.
And love sucks.

Aren't there some pills

I mean, come on with the moping already.
I'm sorry, Miles.
My heart's been ripped out of my chest.
Agh, hey!
Oh, I'm sorry, dirk diggler.
Can we please not do this today?
Oh, are you too busy?
Yeah, I understand being a loser
is a full-time job.
It's on.
Oh, dude, they're gonna fight.
See, every time I think about not kicking your ass,
you go and do something stupid.
Like run against me for Mr. pinkerton.
You know that wasn't my idea.
Sorry, Berger.
This is gonna hurt you a lot more than it hurts me.
- Punch him in the penis! - Come on, come on.
[Whispering] I know about guillermo.
I saw you two in the shower.
[Exhales]
Whoa, whoa, what?
- What? - Dude, come on.
- Come on, come on. - Max.
What are you doing? What the hell?
Kick his ass.
Dude, that was awesome.
You totally just jedi-mind-tricked Max.
What did you say?

Look at those two.
I said look.
Right, cool. Eyes on the prize.
Uh, not cool.
They're pretending to be a couple again,
trying to take what's rightfully ours.
Someone needs to smack Berger around
like a hillbilly housewife.
Um, last time I checked,
you had your chance this morning,
but you pussied out.
What are you two doing?
Oh, nothing.
Lily's just showing me how to use her phone.
We're working out a little somethin'-somethin'
just in case.
Oh, what are you going to wear tomorrow?
We need to go over wardrobe.
We need to go over your speech.
This year, people are voting
after the speeches by text.
Oh, dope. Just like American idol.
What?
I enjoy watching people strive for their dreams.
Forget about people's dreams.
All I wanna know
is how you got Max to back down this morning.
Yeah, I heard about that. What happened?
Could we, um...
Talk in private?
Yeah.
I don't know how to say this.
Have you ever noticed anything...
Different about Max?
Well, he's not really a strong reader.
No, like, not that kind of different.
What do you mean?
I kinda saw him...
Kissing someone in the locker room.
[Whispering] A guy.
Guillermo.
I-I came to you because you know him
better than anyone, and if I told Miles,
it'd be a trending topic on Twitter by sundown.
Oh, my God, RJ. This all makes sense now.
What?
There was this time he asked me
to dress up in Patterson's football uniform.
I don't know. I feel kinda weird.
You look amazing.
Just...
Don't forget the helmet.
His obsession with manscaping...
Perfect. Heart-shaped landing strip.
Whoo! Yeah.
And us never having sex.
Oh, my God, RJ.
[Whispering] Max is gay.
You know...
If we really wanted to win Mr. and miss pinkerton...
I know, I know. Trust me.
I've considered it.
But he doesn't deserve that.
Max may be an asshole, but I couldn't stoop that low.
And I don't really care about Mr. and miss pinkerton.
What I care about is winning Amy back.
So what are we gonna do?
Why don't you tell me
about that little somethin'-somethin'
you and lily are working on
just in case?
Okay, well...

until he dropped trou in front of the entire school.
And as for Jenny Swanson,
well, we used to be friends.
That is, until she became a tyrant

Secret.
But I'm not the only guy here
with a secret.

In fact, we all have things
that we're afraid of exposing to the world.
But that's because we're in high school,
and high school's hard.
But it also can be great
if you have good friends, supportive parents,
and most of all, if...
We're lucky enough to find that special someone.
I guess what I'm trying to say is
as much as I'd like to become Mr. pinkerton,
what I'd really like
more than anything in the world...
Is to be Amy bresner's boyfriend.
Amy, I realized the best thing
