Well hello, sleepyhead.

You might wanna tell the rest
of your body that you're awake.

Actually, this body's
been up for two hours

making sure Booker's
body got out of Booker's bed.

Since when is it
your responsibility

to wake up Booker?

Well, when he
asked me, I said no,

but it came out yes.

It kind of always
happens like that with him.

Levi, you need
to learn to say no.

It's empowering. It's
good for you, alright?

- Good morning, mom.
- No. See?

I didn't... I didn't even...

I know what you thought you
were gonna say, but no. No.

Mm-mmm.

Fun times.

Book, hurry up. I don't
wanna be late to school again.

Again? You guys
are in high school.

You need to be more responsible.

Responsible. Got it.

I'm being serious.

Serious, got it.

Are you listening to
me or just repeating it?

- Listening, repeating, got it.
- Love you, bye.

Love you! Bye!
Oh, now I'm doin' it.

What did I promise her?

What big event? Levi, help me.

But you just said that

everyone needs to
be more responsible.

Yeah. I'm being more responsible

by asking you to help me.

Is this a test?

No. I really need your help.

Oh.

Was that the best

All we did was sit around

I'm complaining though.

I love doing nothing.
Especially with you guys.

Of course. We know it's

Not everybody can hang.

Tess likes it.

Yeah, I make
looking good a priority.

Thank you, Olivia. I feel seen.

Oh, I see you.

And I see my French teacher.
I need to ask her something.

- Ooh!

- Somebody's choosing you, bro.
- Olivia totally likes you, dude.

I don't know what you
guys are talking about.

It's friend vibes
from both sides.

Hey. Book, you know we already

kinda have the whole couple

would really throw off our
whole friend group balance.

So please, don't

Great. The advice you gave
me this morning was amazing.

It was my own
personal day of no.

No, Linda. You can't see
my homework because you

"forgot to do yours."

No, I don't want sticky
Steve to be my lab partner,

Wow, Levi!

That's quite a day you

No.

Wow, Levi. Wow.

Rae, listen, I know you told
me to stay away while you finish

the final touches

Oh yeah. You gotta wait.
And when I mean wait,

I-I mean wait.

Is that it right there?
Come on, lemme see it.

Huh?

No, no, no. Girl, now you

Just a peak.

Yes. Yes, you do.

What color should you...

You should, you know, you
should kinda look for the...

Sounds kinda flamingo-inspired.

Flamingos,

Auntie Rae, this is incredible!

It's like my own
superpower! I'm invincible!

No... nope... nah!

Well, that's great, super Levi,
but I really need your help.

I can't remember what
I promised your mom.

Why don't you just ask her?

Levi, your mom helps
me with so much,

and she asks me for one
thing, and I forgot to do it?

I don't wanna see
her disappointed face.

It's worse than those, uh,

those sad Michael
