Answer 20

If I tell you I’m okay, you have to believe me.

Question 21

Kate: I do. And I want you to stay that way, so let’s go. We don’t even like them-

Answer 21

I don’t do this for them, Kate. I was supposed to be the face of the nation, I’m not going to be the girl who’s too broken for high school cheerleading. (pause)
If you hate this team so much, go back to gymnastics. You were good at it.

Question 22

Kate: It’s our last year together, I’m not spending it without you.

Answer 22

I’m going to college, not dying. It’s just one year, then you’ll be there too.

Question 23

Kate: You don’t know that. We could get into different schools you could-

Answer 23

It doesn’t matter where you are. You’re my best friend. Whatever happens, that’s not going to change. I promise.
