As Janna prepares to leave for school the next morning, her mom’s new, smaller bed arrives. Her mom ordered it so that Janna’s bed would fit in her room as well. At school, Janna sees Jeremy and avoids him to talk to Soon-Lee, who tells her that she only read the parts of the printed math test that they never learned about in class, blacking out the rest. Soon-Lee also tells Janna that Lauren is Jeremy’s cousin. In history class, some students harass the teacher for being anti-war and anti-violence, but Sandra speaks for the first time in class that year, asking a simple question and dispelling the building tension. At lunch, Tats rambles on about becoming a matchmaker, but when her crush, Matt, passes by without even looking at her, Janna thinks that Tats deserves someone better. In gym class there is a substitute teacher, and Tats convinces Janna to go without her hijab again. Lauren says she knows that Janna likes Jeremy, so she invites both Janna and Tats to a party at her house that weekend. But in gym class when Jeremy enters and Janna waves at him, she notices that Lauren and her friend are smiling and laughing in a mocking way.
