>> Cyrus: That's our cue, Holiday.

>> Holiday: Sure is.

Fresh start.

>> Cyrus: Yep.

Holiday and Cyrus.

Just two normal kids starting a normal school day.

>> Holiday: Totally normal.

Not found floating in the ocean with a mysterious pass.

>> Cyrus: No evil corporations.

>> Holiday: No hoverboard.

>> Cyrus: No superpowers.

>> Holiday: There were never superpowers.

>> Cyrus: Sure.

And you just knew how to ride the hoverboard

and decode random passwords on the spot because of, good luck?

>> Holiday: There.

Were. Never.

Super. Powers.

>> Cyrus: Whatever.

Here we are.

You're back at your first day after being sick.

Like, super normal, average, everyday kid.

We can handle that, right?

>> Holiday: Totally.

Super normal.

Low profile.

We got this.

>> Cyrus: See you after last period.

>> Holiday: Normal.

Normal. Normal.

Normal.

Hey!

>> Brynleigh: Talking to all your friends, Holiday?

>> Holiday: Oh, Brynleigh.

>> Brynleigh: Decided to grace us by coming back to school?

>> Holiday: Brynleigh, look, I'm glad you stopped by here

and slammed my locker shut.

I want to apologize.

>> Brynleigh: Why?

>> Holiday: Being away sick, you know,

it really makes you reevaluate things.

And I just wanted to come back and start with a clean slate.

>> Brynleigh: What's your angle, home school?

>> Holiday: No angle.

I'm sorry for everything, I guess.

>> Brynleigh: Still not getting it.

>> Holiday: You don't have to.

I just don't want this rivalry between us.

I mean, we don't have to straighten each other's hair.

>> Brynleigh: I had a keratin treatment.

>> Holiday: Anyway, I'm sorry for any pain I've caused you.

I kind of just want to keep my head down and get

through the first year here, you know?

>> Brynleigh: Not really.

>> Holiday: Great.

Thanks for understanding.

You're the best.

See you in music.

>> Brynleigh: Thank you.

Thank you.

>> Lutz: Oh, Brynleigh.

No need to worry about losing first chair this semester.

Not with an oboe solo like that.

>> Brynleigh: Thanks, Mr. Lutz.

There's no substitute for hard work, is there?

One hour every day, two on weekends.

I wish my peers focused more on that

than their fidget spinners and video games.

>> Lutz: If only, Brynleigh.

Now, let's see.

Holiday.

>> Holiday: Me?

>> Lutz: Yes.

You are new to the class.

Tell me, do you play any instruments?

>> Holiday: Not really.

I'm more of a fidget spinner focuser.

>> Lutz: Never played anything?

>> Holiday: Nope.

>> Lutz: Oh.

Well, why don't you pick one of the woodwinds.

We'll put a new mouthpiece on, and we'll see

if you can make a sound?

We'll assess your skill from there.

>> Holiday: Okay.

This is an oboe, right?

I guess I could give it a go.

>> Brynleigh: Give it a go?

The oboe is the hardest instrument to play,

which is why I play it.

I mean, just getting a note out takes a lot of practice.

>> Lutz: There you go, a solid C. Great work, Holiday.

You've got terrific breath support there.

>> Holiday: Thanks.

Let me try one more thing.

[ Oboe instrument plays ]

>> Lutz: Oh my word, Holiday, that's miraculous!

>> Holiday: Oh, I -- how did I do that?

>> Lutz: Now clearly you've played before.

Why would you say you haven't?

>> Brynleigh: Because she's a liar.

>> Holiday: I -- okay, so I watched a few YouTube tutorials

since I knew I'd have to try something for class.

Guess they stuck.

>> Lutz: They certainly did.

Class, I think we're going to have

to center the winter concert around woodwinds

with Holiday's newfound talent.

>> Brynleigh: Ahem.

>> Lutz: Oh, and Brynleigh's talent, too, of course.

>> Brynleigh: Meet me in the hall after class, home school.

>> Holiday: Ow.

Brynleigh.

What the heck?

>> Brynleigh: Yeah, Holiday, what the heck?

You almost had me fooled.

>> Holiday: What are you talking about?

>> Brynleigh: Let's call a truce, Brynleigh.

I'm starting over, Brynleigh.

You set me up.

>> Holiday: I promise, I --

>> Brynleigh: Oh, don't waste your breath.

You totally set me up in there so you could show off yet again.

>> Holiday: Everyone is staring.

>> Brynleigh: Good.

Watch your back, fellow Whittiers.

Home school here isn't just a freak

and a bully, she's downright evil.

Consider yourself warned, Holiday.

This means war.

>> Holiday: Good job, Holiday.

Way to be normal.
