Jackie opens her locker. Dino hangs out and invites her over to his house, because no one will be home. Jackie agrees, as long as they just fool around and don't take it any further. Dino addresses the camera as everyone else freezes -- a frequent device on this show that I'm going to call freezetalking. Dino freezetalks that he can hook up whenever he wants, but that he wants his first time to be with Jackie. There's the added bonus that she's a virgin and "there's something about being the first guy there." Well, if they're fooling around, I bet he's already been there in some form, if you know what I'm saying. Dino explains that he loves the way that Jackie makes him feel, because she makes him feel important. I would get upset about the objectification of women and the prehistoric attitudes in that speech, but he's a teenaged boy, and I think it's pretty realistic. Jackie unfreezes and kisses Dino.

In the background, Ben tries to hit on a girl on the dance squad, but she totally shuts him down. Down the hallway, Deborah asks Jonathan if they are meeting at the carnival that night. Jonathan confirms that they're just doing yearbook work, and Deborah jokes that she didn't think it was a date or anything. Deborah walks off, and Jonathan freezetalks that he's only been with one girl, and she said he could "do everything but," but that he couldn't find everything. Heh. Lady parts are complicated. So the chick laughed and left him. Jonathan says that Deborah would never laugh at him, but he insists that they're just friends, even though lately Deborah has hinted that she wants more. Jonathan gets flustered and leaves.

Dino and Jackie kiss some more, and he says that he just has to look at her, and she's happy. They reiterate their after-school plans and head to class. What's with all this making out in the halls? When I was a teen, people just made out under the stairs.

After school, Dino and Jackie make out on his bed. Dino keeps trying to make moves, and Jackie keeps stopping him. Dino tries to get Jackie to take her pants off, but she refuses and throws him off, readjusting her clothing. Dino grumps, "You'd better give it up soon, because there's a lot of girls that want to do it with me." Jackie is shocked, and pissed, and walks out. Dino chases after her, then freezeyells, "I'm such an idiot." No, she's the idiot if she goes back to him, because that was a truly shitty thing to say, blue balls be damned. (Blue Balls Be Damned is the name of my third album.)
