[CAMPBELL]
Homeroom class
I’m looking for someone to follow
So I know my way
But everyone's going their own way now
Can somebody, anyone show me around?
[JACKSON STUDENTS]
Don't follow me (Hey)
Why you on top of me? Leave me alone
Do your own thing (Oh)
Do your own thing (Hey)
Comin' through (Hey)
I ain't following you, do what you gotta do
Do your own thing (Oh)
Do your own thing (Hey)
Crap. It's. Time. For. Class
Class, please welcome a new transfer student from Truman High. Please give a warm Jackson welcome to—oh, what's your name? Campbell?
[CAMPBELL, spoken]
Campbell!
[CAMERON, spoken]
Like the soup
[TWIG, spoken]
Looking hot, cream of mushroom
[BRIDGET, spoken]
Campbell?!
[CAMPBELL, spoken]
Bridget! Thank god!
[BRIDGET, spoken]
Oh Em Goodness, you got redistricted too?
[CAMPBELL, spoken]
Can you believe this?
[BRIDGET, spoken]
I'm in heaven! I bet I’ve got until lunch at least, before everyone sees I’m a spaz!
I wish Steven was here, I’m so not used to not fitting in
[BRIDGET, spoken]
Oh, I've got lots of experience with not fitting in! Do you need some pointers?
[CAMPBELL, spoken]
I guess
[BRIDGET, spoken]
Okay!
(sung)
Step one: To become invisible
Books up, de-accentuate the physical
Head down, use only your peripherals
Stick with me, we'll be indivisible
[CAMPBELL]
They've taken a hatchet and hacked my—
[JACKSON STUDENTS]
Move
[CAMPBELL]
Team apart
They've taken my high school career and—
Pressed restart
I’m looking for someone to follow, so I know my way
[BRIDGET]
But hey, we're finding our own way now
And isn't that what being young’s all about?
Check it out now
[JACKSON STUDENTS] Don't follow me Why you on top of me? Leave me alone Do you own thing Do your own thing | [BRIDGET] Don't follow anybody Everyone here does their own thing We'll do our own thing |
[BRIDGET]
Come on, let's go crunking in the parking lot
[CAMPBELL]
What?
[BRIDGET]
You know crunking crunking!
[TWIG, spoken]
You looking fine, baby
[BRIDGET, spoken]
Sorry what?
[TWIG, spoken]
I said you lookin' fine!
[BRIDGET, spoken]
Jinkies! No one has ever said that to me before! With the exception of a hobo once and my youth pastor
[RANDALL]
What's up man?
[CAMERON]
Yo, what it do kid? You got the stuff?
[RANDALL]
Chopped and screwed it
[CAMERON]
Damn, I can't wait to use it
[RANDALL]
I'm telling you it's crack, so don't lose it
[CAMERON]
Check it out, it's that cute Campbell Soup kid
[CAMPBELL, spoken]
Campbell
[RANDALL]
I'm sorry, who's this?
[CAMPBELL, spoken]
Are you guys selling crack?
[RANDALL]
Don't be stupid
Dude, it's a memory stick full of music!
[CAMPBELL]
I’m sorry, I'm such a doofus
I'm jumping to conclusions, I’m useless
[RANDALL]
Hey, it's cool, you're new, you'll get through this
[CAMPBELL & BRIDGET]
Right now, we stick out like two toothpicks
[CAMPBELL]
I’m so confused as to who's in whose clique
Where are the surfer dudes? Who are the cool kids?
[RANDALL]
We don't travel in groups but the truth is—
[RANDALL & TWIG]
We do have a dance crew and they're ruthless
[VOICE]
Nautica
La Cieniga

[DANIELLE]

[JACKSON STUDENTS]
Oh snap, you do your thing, go do your thing
[CAMPBELL]
I’m looking for something
Excuse I’m trying
Somebody, anyone, show me arou—
[DANIELLE, spoken]
Yo, I said move
[CAMPBELL, spoken]
