[Kristin] This is Laguna Beach,
California,

a small town in Orange County.

You may have heard of it.
It's a place I call home.

That's me, Kristin.

I just finished my senior year
at Laguna Beach High School,

and my friends and I ruled the school.

This is my best friend, Jessica.

With our exes off at college,

it was our year to hang out
with some new boys,

but, of course, we had some competition.



That's Alex. She's a drama queen.

No, really. When she's not acting
in the school plays,

she's making a play
for Jessica's boyfriend.

Yeah, that's right.
And that brings us to Jason.

Jason is Laguna's very own bad boy.

I warned Jessica to watch out for him.
He's so hot, but such a heartbreaker.

Guess it takes one to know one.

You all know who that is, Talan.

He's best friends with Jason.
Those types always stick together.

Talan really grew up this year,
and I really noticed,

but so did Alex's best friend, Taylor.

Yeah, she may look all nice and innocent,
but I'm not buying it.

As long as those two stay out
of my life, we'll be okay.

Right, like that will happen.



Oh, and speaking of staying out
of my life,

you're probably wondering
what happened to Lauren,

or LC, as her friends call her.

Well, Lauren spent exactly one semester

in San Francisco
with Stephen before she bailed.

So what do you…
What do you plan on doing then?

I'm going to leave San Francisco.

I gave it a chance, and it didn't work.

That's weak.

[Kristin] I called that the day she left.

She thought it was her chance
to finally get Stephen.

Uh. Yeah, right.

I guess things didn't end up
happily ever after.

How could they? I mean,
Stephen called me almost every day.

As for me,
I was having the time of my life,

but last year's seniors were coming home
for Christmas break

and I had to tell Stephen that I moved on.

I think that it'd be better if both of us
just sort of dated other people

and did our own thing for a little while.

I mean, I felt bad,

but I wasn't going
to let anything ruin my senior year.

[indistinct chatter]

-That was a good swim.
-[both chuckling]

What are you guys talking about?

We were just talking about how much better
it is now that we're seniors…

-[Kristin] Oh, I love it.
-…and not juniors anymore.

Doesn't it seem
like we were just freshmen?

Mm-hmm.

-[Kristin] Yeah.
-Oh, yeah.

I remember freshmen orientation.
Like, what I wore, like,

going, being so nervous, like,
walking around the school getting a tour.

Like, I remember all of that,
and it seem--

[Alex H] You got a tour?

-Yeah.
-[Alex H] Dork.

-[Jessica] Like where all my classes were.
-[chuckles]

[Jessica] I didn't know! I know.
I was a dork, though.

-Yeah, you were.
-[Jessica] I still am.

I feel like being a senior, like,
you just kind of, like mature a lot more.

With drama and gossip, like, when you hear
about it, you just don't care anymore.

Yeah, I love not caring.
It's so nice for December.

-[Alex H] I know.
-[Jessica] Uh-huh.

Like Christmas is in, what, two weeks?

All the people that graduated last year
are coming back soon.

-I know.
-It's going to be weird.

-[Kristin] For Christmas break…
-It is.

It's going to be really weird
to see Stephen.

What did Stephen say after you called him

and told him that you, like,
wanted to see other people?

He was pissed.

-Mm-hmm.

-Are you excited?
-[Lauren] Mm-hmm. I did all my packing,

and it's all in my room,
and it's everywhere.

[Lo] Ah, I want to see!
Oh, I'm so happy that you're home.

Yay! Now we get to hang out again
before I have to go back to school.

-I know.

Oh, yeah! [chuckles]

-Yay! I'm so excited.
-Mm-hmm.

[Lauren] I noticed you're all cold.

I know. It's cold at the top of this hill.

Everyone is coming. Yay!

I guess I'm going to go because…

[chuckles] …there's no point
in me standing here.

[upbeat rock music playing]

Hi.
I'm coming to get you right now.

[music concludes]

Stephen is a [bleep] idiot.
I'm just leaving the beach.

He like-- He's so immature!
Like, he can't even, like,

hang out with me for like…
God, he's just an idiot.

Like he can't-- He like, can't handle
the fact that I've, like, moved on,

and so he has to like,
be a [bleep] about it,

and he can't even just like be mature
and like, have like a normal conversation.

He has to-- He gets
this little attitude and like…

I hate boys! No, like--
[chuckles] I hate boys.

Yeah! They're--
It's because they're immature and stupid!

-Fun.

Yeah, you have to meet him.

I tell you.

-[Kristin] I know, honestly.
-Those high school boys, mm-mmm.

[Kristin] I know.

Well, so does that mean no more Stephen?

-No more Stephen.

that you're like, obsessed with him

-then why don't you like, stop it and--
-Because I can't. I can't.

I've tried, and it just doesn't work.
It doesn't work.

-[Kristin] What are you talking about?
-[Alex H] Jason?

-What do you think?
-[chuckles]

-How did I know? Let's go to Surf & Sport.

[Jessica] You're driving there?

[Kristin] Yeah, unless you want to walk,
but I don't. [chuckles]

Oh, sucks!

Meeting with Jessica
for the first time since I'm back.

Seriously?

Yep, should be fun. It's like, done.

There's nothing there, obviously,
but I don't know.

But I like loved the chick, so I was like,
confused. I don't know.

You were stupidly in love.

-Yeah. It's cool.
-What happened with her and Jason?

He's like the equivalent of Jess.
It's just like a no-win situation

and like, that's how Jess
is kind of, so like…

-Ha!
-[chuckles]

I got to go do this thing, dude.

[Stephen] Good luck with that.

-[engine whirring]
-[seagull squawking]

[Jessica] Answer your phone.

Where are you?
Hurry the [bleep] up, please.

Thanks for being so prompt and studious,

-Why?
-I'm just wondering.

Have a girlfriend?

What? Oh, hell no. Hell no.

-[chuckles] Why not?
-Mm-mm.

-What?
-Why not?

Definitely the last thing I want.

-Sorry.
-Sorry for what?

Why say sorry?
I just like, want to be chill and like

-We are!
-I don't know.

It was weird because you're--
Does Jason…

like, doesn't let you talk to me,
from what I hear.

-He doesn't care if I talk--
-[Dieter] It's a joke.

No, Dieter, he doesn't care
if I talk to you or not,

but it's like, a common,
like respect thing.

After what we had,
we shouldn't be like this.

We shouldn't be like, so on edge.

But, Dieter, you know,
and you have admitted it before,

that you make it like this.

I don't want like, him to think
I still am involved in it.

I don't want him to care,

but if I hear
that he's [bleep] someone else,

I'm going to get pissed,
and I'm going to call you

because I still care about you.

it was kind of like,

and that I do love you and you're like--

I know you love me because I love you.

[Stephen]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

-[Stephen] Whoa! Oh, buddy!
-[glass shatters]

-[Lauren] Party foul!
-Whoo!

[Stephen] Yeah, wait,
good timing, perfect timing!

[upbeat rock music playing]

[crowd cheering]

-[Gary] Kristin!
-Yeah!

Whoo!

Hi, baby! How are you?

-[Stephen] What?
-How's it going?

-[Stephen] Oh, thanks for the hug.
-Hi. Oh, shut up.

[Kristin] Hi, cutie.

So, nice, you're going to move back down.
You going to live with your parents?

I've got to go back. My mom--

We should hang out like,
while you're down here, seriously.

-I'll hang with you because I love you…
-We don't have to hang out--

…but I don't want
to do high school parties.

Don't worry about it.
I don't even do that anyways, anyway.

No, but like--

-Dumbass!
-[bleep]

[Kristin] I don't care.

-[Talan] Hey, guys.
-Yeah.

I want to talk all about this new boy.

I know. I know. Oh, we will.
Oh, we will, but I love him.

Why don't we talk about it later?

[Gary] Okay. Does Stephen know?

Kind of, but he doesn't know
the extent of it so… exactly!

Morgan.

[cellphone ringing]

[Kristin] Oh! I'm in love.

-[Morgan] Is that Matt?
-[Kristin] I'm in love. I'm in love.

Don't you just love him?
Oh, my god. Let's send him one back.

Okay. All righty. Let's press reply.

[laughs]

[Kristin] What?

[Trey] You guys want a handful of nuts?

-[laughs]
-No.

Should I want it or something? [chuckles]

Ow, that was right in my ear!

-[Kristin] Hey, stop.
-Sorry!

Sorry, was that yours?

[indistinct chatter]

[laughs]

Oh, oh, are you
talking about marine bio--

Yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

[Stephen] I'm so mad.
You don't even know.

It's so hard to like,
look you in the eyes.

It's weird. I don't know. It's just--

So we'll talk later.

I don't know.

[Stephen]

Bye, Stephen.

Last night was mellow.

[Dieter]

[Dieter]

It's weird. [clears throat]

How'd you leave with LC and stuff?

LC is my best friend in the world, but…

no matter what she says,
she still wants you, and I can tell.

-You're like, "No comment"?
-I just--

[Dieter] We'll see.

I'm very cautious about that one.

[funky rock music playing]

[Kristin] You are a streetwalker.
You are--

You guys both are streetwalkers, bitch.

I'm proud of it, though.

Anyways, my brother
just got a new poker set.

Yeah?

So I was thinking
we should have a poker party.

-That'd actually be a lot of fun.
-Yeah.

But like, girls only
and like, we dress up.

-Let's do it tonight.
-Yeah.

-Yeah.
-Isn't next--

-Isn't--
-That's when Casey's party is.

Yeah, I just thought about that.

Oh, whatever,
I don't need to go to that. I don't know.

-Learn how to become more fake.
-That'd be good, too.

Yeah, I'm gonna, like,
wear [bleep] loads of makeup

and look like a Barbie doll,
then yeah, okay.

-[girls laugh]
-[seagulls squawking]

[Casey] What are we going
to do with my hair?

[April] Do you want to do it big
with the rollers?

-[Casey] Yeah. Curly?
-And then we could touch it up, yeah,

with the curling iron.
Okay.

Are you excited
about your party tonight?

-Yeah, I am.
-[April] Who's all coming?

Um…

A bunch of my girlfriends
and some guys and…

[April] Oh, how fun!

Yeah, it's going to be really fun,
I think.

-What's going on with you?
-I don't know, just stuff.

-[April] How's school?
-I love it! [sighs] You…

[April]
Much better than your other school?

Oh, yeah, I love it.
I love Laguna. It's so much fun.

-[April] You are a beauty queen.
-[chuckles] Like a pageant girl.

-Remember that one pageant you were in?
-Oh, yeah! You did my hair.

I love pageants, though.
They were fun. Didn't you think?

[April] Yeah! How many were you in?

Like five.

I'm excited because I've never been
to Casey's house before.

It is probably one of the biggest houses
I've ever been in.

So I'm… I'm happy Casey came
to our school. I think she's really sweet.

I think she's really sweet.
It must be hard to go--

It must be hard to go
to four different schools.

Honestly, like, when--
I remember the first day of school.

Kristin is like, "Don't talk
to her…" [mocking]

I'm like…

I think she's probably one
of the sweetest girls I've met.

-[Alex M] Yeah, she is really sweet.
-Mm-hmm.

And she just seems really genuine.

-Ooh, thanks.
-[Alex M] Likey?

Mm-hmm. Do you have eyeliner
on right now?

Mm, just the bottom.

Um…

Jason just called me,
and Jason's going.

Uh-oh.

[Alex H] Wasn't there two types
of flushes?

[Kristin] Who put Jessica
in charge of the cards?

I don't know.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[girls chuckle]

-No, I know. I know. I know.
-And then follow across.

Oh, wow. Oh! Can I? Can I do it?

[Jessica] Let me just-- wait, let me--

You should have seen Casey
in Albertsons today.

Here's the thing. Casey is just like

everything from her hair
to her personality is fake to me.

-Yeah.
-[girls laugh]

-From her hair to her personality.
-That's why I can't take her seriously.

-Her extensions--
-They look like [bleep]

Yeah, they look--

[Kristin] When she puts her hair
in a ponytail, you can see them,

and I'm like, "Ew, dude!"

[Jason] No, it's just bubbling

[crowd chuckling]

Holy [bleep] I've never--

I never even knew
it was, like, as big as this.

[Morgan] This is so cute.

Casey, your whole setup

-Of course, dude.

[college boy 1] Are you-- Who you calling?

[college boy 2] Oh!

[cellphone ringing]

-Hello?
-[Kristin] Is that Jason?

[Jessica] Yeah. I'm playing a game.

Give me the phone.
I need to say happy birthday.

Kristin wants to ask you
something really fast, hold on.

-Poor guy.
-Hold on.

Jason?

I haven't seen your girlfriend
for a really long time

because you're always with her.

-[Alex H] Yeah, I second that.
-[Kristin] So let me--

[Alex H] I second that.

Yeah, we all second that
and fourth that and fifth that,

so let us--

[Jason] You caused me drama
the other night.

Don't give me [bleep] now, Jason.

-[Alex H] Jessica.
-Okay, bye.

Wait, hey, let me talk to him.

-No!
-Okay, great!

-[Alex H] If Jason was here--
-God, Jessica!

Jason is cool and all,
but like, honestly, like--

-No, not for a boyfriend!
-[Alex H] Jason is fun, but he--

[Kristin] Not boyfriend material.

What's up, ladies?

Hey, Jason. How you doing, babe?

I'm excited to have fun with you, man.

-[Jason] I know.
-[Alec M] But your girlfriend won't--

What's my surprise? What's my surprise?

-What does that have to do with?
-[Alex M] I can't tell you!

-That's why it's a surprise.
-Does it have to do with formal?

-[Alex M] That's why it's a surprise.
-Right, there's two surprises.

There's one for formal,
and then there's one tonight.

Tonight? Is it bad?

-[Alex H] I think he lies to you.
-Let's keep fighting, yeah.

You want to bitch at me
some more about Jason? Okay.

-[Kristin] Yeah!
-Go ahead, bring it on.

I hear it from everybody
every single [bleep] day.

[Kristin] Oh, Jessica, stop it.

Jason lies to you.
Ending the conversation. Anyways…

Let's not even talk about it.

Okay, it's done, then.

Jessica, I love you,
but I don't love your boyfriend.

going bowling?

Yeah, it's going to be fun.
All the boys are going to be there.

If you could-- Okay,
if you could hook up with any…

one in our grade
at our school right now, who would it be?

-There's like absolutely nobody.
-No, if you--but, okay--

-No, but there's nobody so--
-Okay, I agree with you on that.

If you had to choose,
had to, like life-or-death situation.

If I had to choose a boy--

-No, girl. Alex?
-[both chuckling]

If I had to choose one person…

Mm-hmm.

…probably Sam just because
he's really hot, but like--

-[Kristin] Oh, really?
-It's--

Well, see, no,
just because he's the hottest guy.

-Who would you want to hook up with?
-[chuckles]

I don't know.
There's like nobody that I really like.

[Alex H] Really?

I don't think I'm attracted
to guys with blond hair.

I guess I still like Stephen.

[scoffs] You're always going
to have something for Stephen.

Yeah. Well, it's too--
It's too hard till it's--

First of all, it's unrealistic to like
have something with him right now

and I don't want anything
with him right now.

Yeah. I hope there's cute boys
there tonight.

[Kristin] Mm-hmm.

[Alex H] Run, bitches, run! Run!

-Oh, my god!
-Oh! Oh, run!

Oh, my god! You guys!

[Kristin] It's so cool
your dad got us a limo.

Earlier I was like, "Am I driving?"

[Kristin] She was like, "No."
She's like, "Don't worry about that."
