Keep ahead...
Whitney: Wow. What's the occasion?
Lana: Nothing. I just thought we'd blow off class, today. (skip school today?)
Whitney: I-I can't. I'm barely keeping ahead. (making up for the lost classes?)
Then I got to go to the store, and then run by the hospital and see my dad.
Lana: You know what? I am tired of your excuses. Ever since your dad got sick, you haven't been any fun at all.
Whitney: I'm sorry, Lana, but it's kind of a big deal.
Lana: Whatever. I feel like I'm locked in this relationship out of guilt.
(She continues with the relationship because she feels guilty?)
Whitney: Lana, what's wrong with you?
Lana: Nothing. I'm just not keeping it inside anymore. (not suppressing her feelings?)
