Uh, Levi, why are you
sitting so close to the TV?

Well, you know, it's
only a 45-inch screen.

Nowadays, they make
65 -inch UHD K TVs.

This is so small. As a director,

I need to see the whole picture.

The aspect ratio is off.

Is that an elephant
or a hairless cat?

That is a firetruck.

Levi, we're not
getting a bigger TV.

You're gonna have to
learn to make this one work.

Oh! Okay, okay!

You going to school
or on a world tour?

You are looking at a future
Carver High school legend!

And it is time that I walk it...

winner of Freshest
Freshman, .

Mom, the yearbook committee is
polling for superlatives this week,

and Booker is trying
out for Freshest Freshman.

I mean, I think it's just
a silly popularity contest,

but that's just me.

It is just you, Nia.

'Cause Freshest Freshman
means that you have

the freshest style, personality,

and sense of humor. I
mean, you never go stale, Nia!

Does it also mean

one of the smartest?
'Cause if so, I'm for it.

You wanna hear something
smart? Check out my plan, alright?

I'm not gonna stop
at Freshest Freshman.

Alright, I'm gonna
be the... I'm gonna be

the so-fly sophomore, the...

The jump-star junior.

I'm gonna be the
swaggy-est senior!

Nobody's ever won all
four. I'm gonna be a legend.

Oh! My baby's gonna be a legend!

Take a picture, baby legend.
Oh, he's a baby legend!

- Look at that.
- Oh, listen!

You kids shouldn't care so much
about what people think of you,

and you shouldn't worry
so much about the labels

people give you either, okay?

I did that once,

and had to walk around
as Kelsey for like two weeks.

Wow, I remember Kelsey.

You remember that? She
was so needy, wasn't she?

Wasn't she?!

Aunt Chels, or
aunt Kels, or you,

Well, Angelica's mom
