Level Four

JULIAN: Hey, Addison… I just got a text from Autumn. She said something’s going down at Hearst High, and Payton could use some backup.

ADDISON: We do owe her one. Let’s go see what’s up.

[ Addison, Julian | 20m | Payton, 2500xp ]

JULIAN: Autumn! What’s going on here?

AUTUMN: It’s a total disaster. All this time Payton was helping us out, she totally forgot she was supposed to be throwing a party for Mia!

ADDISON: Who’s Mia?

AUTUMN: Max’s little sister.

ADDISON: Yikes. What happened?

AUTUMN: ...come see for yourself.

A few minutes later, you arrive at Hearst High to find Kara and another cheerleader cornering Payton!

MIA: You promised you’d bring snacks and decorations to my party, and then you pulled a total no-show!

PAYTON: I’m so so so sorry… I was helping Autumn and her new friend…

MIA: WHAT?! You were over at that new school?!

KARA: That’s just insulting, Payton. We’re not going to forget this. We’re going to make your life MISERABLE! No one’s going to come to your parties. No one’s going to talk to you at lunch. You’re going to be a total social outcast!

PAYTON: I… I…

ADDISON: Hey! Leave her alone. Can’t you see she feels bad enough about it?

KARA: Who asked you, dork?

ADDISON: Come on, Payton. You don’t need to take this. Let’s go back to my school.

Back at your school…

PAYTON: I really messed up this time. Kara meant what she said. She’s going to make my life at Hearst High miserable!

AUTUMN: And unfortunately, Kara has enough influence over everyone to actually pull it off.

ADDISON: Hey, why don’t you get out of there? Come transfer to our school!

PAYTON: You still want me at your school? But… I’m not popular anymore.

ADDISON: This is a place where EVERYONE is welcome. You don’t need to be popular to fit in here!

PAYTON: Really? You mean it?

ADDISON: Absolutely! Come join our school!

PAYTON: Aww, you’re so sweet! I’ll start enrolling right now!

[ Admit Payton | None | 2500xp, 800c ]

PAYTON: Hey, Addison.

ADDISON: What’s wrong?

PAYTON: It’s… it’s my boyfriend. I guess I mean my EX-boyfriend. He just broke up with me. In a TEXT message. He said I was a traitor to Hearst, and he didn’t want to take the hit to his popularity!

ADDISON: What a jerk.

PAYTON: I know. He’s selfish, arrogant, and cruel… I should HATE him. But… I still feel so sad! Addison, I’m MISERABLE! My heart is BROKEN!

ADDISON: Is there anything I can do?

PAYTON: There’s only one cure. I need a date.

ADDISON: A date?

PAYTON: A date! A fling! A rebound! Come on, don’t tell me no one dates around here.

[ Have 1 Isle of Love | None | 2500xp ]

PAYTON: OMG! I love it! A swan boat? That’s my favorite kind of boat! And a tunnel of love? That’s my favorite kind of tunnel!

ADDISON: And now?

PAYTON: And now, I’m ready for a date! I’ve been single for WAY too long.

ADDISON: Didn’t your ex JUST break up with you?

PAYTON: Yes. The longest I’ve ever gone is fourteen minutes. Now, excuse me… I’ve got a date to go on.

[ Complete a Successful Date with Payton | None | 2500xp ]

PAYTON: OMG! I forgot how much FUN dating is. Good dates, bad dates, blind dates… all better than no dates.

AUTUMN: You certainly seem to have bounced back from your broken heart.

PAYTON: Duh, it’s called a rebound for a reason! I’ve practically forgotten about what’s-his-name.

AUTUMN: You know, now that Payton is feeling better… it’s time to celebrate!

ADDISON: Oh?

AUTUMN: We’ve got to throw a party for her to welcome her to the school!

PAYTON: Ohmigosh! You’d do that? For me?

ADDISON: Heh. Of course.

PAYTON: You guuuuys! You’re so sweet!

[ Complete a Party | None | 2500xp, 100b ]

PAYTON: What a great party!

ADDISON: Yeah, it was truly epic!

PAYTON: It was A-MAZING! Everyone had fun and the decorations were great and the music was perfect and everything! It was the Best. Party. EVER!

ADDISON: Do you say that about every party?

PAYTON: Only the best ones! Thank you guys for all making me feel so welcome. Here, I got us some peppermint spice lattes! Kind of a post-party Payton tradition. Usually I just drink them alone in my room at home. It’s kind of dumb.

AUTUMN: I love it. Give me one.

ADDISON: Okay, I propose a toast. To Payton! Cheers!

PAYTON: Uh oh… looks like someone followed me here today.

ADDISON: Kara and Mia? Why are they coming over here with a whole cheerleading squad?

PAYTON: Kara’s the head cheerleader… she never goes into a showdown without backup.

KARA: Ahem. Payton, I see you’re still making dumb choices. Joining the enemy? Not a smart move.

PAYTON: I… um…

ADDISON: (Payton needs some back up! I better find some people… fast!)

[ Addison, A Level 3+ Nerd, A Level 3+ Jock (Bailey, Finley) | 20m | 2500xp ]

ADDISON: Hey! Bailey and Finley! Payton’s in trouble and needs our help!

FINLEY: What do you need?

BAILEY: Just say the word!

ADDISON: Can you back me up here for a sec?

BAILEY: No problem.

FINLEY: Hey! Hold on a second.

ADDISON: Are these girls bothering you, Payton?

KARA: Huh? What do you care?

BAILEY: We don’t need any trouble here at OUR school.

JULIAN: Yeah!

KARA: Oh really?

ADDISON: Look, Kara, I get that you don’t like Payton, but you can’t come over here and yell at her like some… You… hot… smart… wonderful… angel.

JULIAN: And that means it’s time for you to leave, Kara. You’re not welcome here.

KARA: Whatever.

MIA: Before we go, I’ve got a message from Max. We’re challenging your school to a football game. Think of it as your school’s first Homecoming game… if you think you can pull it off.

KARA: So we’ll see you on the field… unless you’re scared. Mia, girls… let’s get out of here. Payton, have fun here in Loserville.

Kara slaps Payton’s hand, spilling the latte she’s holding all over her clothes!

PAYTON: Hey!

Kara and the cheerleaders from Hearst High snicker and leave.

BAILEY: Sorry about your outfit.

PAYTON: It’s okay. I really appreciate you all sticking up for me.
