Oh, why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, can I
drink latte?

I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna love you.

Right, of course, it was a dream.

Pretty good dream, though.

Maybe if I wear the exact same outfit,
today will pan out just like... Oh,

I don't own a Red Duck T -shirt. But
whatever I decide to wear...

Today has to be perfect.

Look, it's just one shoot, and my
agent...

Well, technically, my ex -agent said
it's my chance to put things right

And what happens after this one shoot?

Because I took a chance on you, Nyla,
and as far as I'm concerned, you're

a student or a model.

You can't be both.

If I buy you a smoothie, please can you
make the decision for me?

Oh, as much as I do love pulverised
fruit, no.

When's the shoot?

Saturday. Just one day.

Maybe I can do it and then decide.

I mean, where even is Chippenham?

The shoot's in Chippenham?

Yeah.

I could drive you.

Why, because you love the M25 at 6am?

Yeah, it's one of the most beautiful
sights in the world.

But also because Chippenham is where I'm
from, and I promised my mum and sister

that I would go and visit them this
weekend.

See?

Perfect.

Because anyone who's ever seen any film
knows...

A road trip is where you fall in love.

Breakfast jelly.

Nyla made it for me.

I need a good breakfast because I have
big plans today.

Today's the ballet for your mum's
birthday.

Mm -hmm.

Which is why I am wearing these.

Wow. Can you walk in them?

Toe.

I just need to concentrate.

See? There's no heel in this world that
I can't conquer.

Lexi! Oh, my ankle!

No, no, not today.

Are you okay?

Dolly, stupid question.

What can I do to help? I don't know, but
I need to be okay.

You're going to be okay. I'm going to
take you to the doctor right now.

You hungry?

What's your favorite sandwich?

Not this one.

Should we hit the road?

Wait, um, I have an idea. One that will
save the road trip.

I didn't know I needed saving. Oh, I
didn't mean, um... It's fine, I get it.

have been pretty quiet.

I think going home just does that to me.

Is it because of the other guy?

What other guy?

When you started college, you had a
black eye and you said the other guy

it. Um, no, that's not the reason.

What a great road trip -saving idea,
then. Oh, I've made a playlist.

And the stereo's broken.

There's a speaker on my phone.

We can sing. I don't sing on principle.

What principle?

The principle of I don't want to look
like an idiot.

Well, how about I sing, and then once
the fear of looking like an idiot

you join in?

Deal?

I cannot believe you just let me sing on
my own for a whole hour.

I didn't warn you about my principal.

Text me when you're done.

Bye.

I have a real problem with that doctor.

I'm used to saying you need to rest your
ankle because you need to rest your

ankle. I've never rested anything in my
life ever, and if I was going to rest

something, it wouldn't be today on my
mum's birthday.

I know.

I'm just going to go to my room.

On your own?

Yeah, but...

I'm okay.

I'm all he's for.

Sammy! What are you doing out there?

Yeah.

That's it.

And they're fine?

It's about 8 this morning.

It's like...

Let me lie in for once. I'm a teenager.

Hold on, let's go.

You're not coming?

I like being here.

I want to go meet my friend from
college.

You might have heard of her. She's
called Naila Malik.

You're friends with Naila Malik?

The model, Naila Malik?

Helen Malick in the flesh.

They told me not to book you.

Is they everyone in the entire fashion
industry?

Pretty much.

Yep, here I am. How come? I don't like
Oscar Barefield.

He's a creep and has an overly close
relationship with his chinchilla.

Just don't say that in a magazine
interview.

Might really mess things up for you. So
might this.

I'm not a big fan of people telling me
what to do.

Nala said I could borrow her Lee Miller
book.

I need you. How are you? Oh, I'm fine,
thanks. How are you?

Don't make small talk.

Le

jeté

en tournant.

Oh, why do that to yourself?

It's complicated.

Ballet or the reason you're trying to
learn it?

Both.

I'm mildly interested.

Lexi was supposed to be going to the
ballet this evening, but she can't

she's twisted her ankle.

And her perfect existence is slightly
less perfect.

Heartbreaking news.

There was nothing perfect about your mum
dying when you were 11.

Lexi's mum died?

Lexi, bouncy, happy, owns more shoes
than books, Lexi.

Just because she doesn't go around
acting sad all the time doesn't mean

nothing's ever happened to her.

Okay. Well, her family, they're all in
Dublin, and they'll visit the grave

today, but Lexi's here.

Her mum loves the ballet, so every year
on her birthday she goes.

But now she can't.

So I'm trying to bring the ballet to
her. I've got an afternoon to learn

and it is not going well.

Nope, nope, nope.

Not getting drawn in.

But that video is not going to help.

But I can.

That's it. Could you give me a bit more
attitude?

How did you know? It's always more
attitude.

Oh, sorry. Can you give me five? Sorry.

Hey, if you don't mind us crashing, my
little sister is kind of a fan.

I don't mind. Hi, I'm Mila.

Nancy. But you can call me Nancy.

A lot of people call me Nancy.

No, they don't. Shut up, Sammy.

Sammy? A lot of people call him Sammy.

They do not.

Do you mind if I leave Nancy here with
you?

I've got some... something... that's
important.

Yeah, of course.

Wow. Show me how you do that.

That's the result of years of being
tortured by another.

But I can show you smooth.

Come stand behind me and we'll copy.

So, Mum made you do ballet.

Yes, every Monday, Tuesday and Saturday.

Until I was 12.

That's when she officially...

Gave up.

Gave up what?

Gave up trying to make me more like her.

Read it one more time.

You just need to read the figures.

No, if you read the figures and then you
can do the counter -signature, it's

really just going to help me out.

Just please would you just do the
counter -signature for me and then I can

on. No, I can't keep going over this.
Then don't. You just have to sign the

papers. If I sign, I'm really losing my
mind. You just don't want to help me

out. You give me one reason why she
should.

Where did you get back?

I was just talking to your mum about a
small loan to help me get this new

venture off the ground.

And what is this, Dad? Business number
11?

12?

Tell me, how do the other ones work out
for you?

You're just a kid.

You know, you don't understand anything.

Well, I understand that you don't care
about us.

You never come over here, and then when
you do, it's because you want something.

Dad, why don't you just do us all a
favour and go?

Yeah, they're great.

Yep, that's the last shorts we need.

Great. Um, can I ask a favour?

I heard you're studying fashion design.

Did you make this?

It shows.

Is it worth walking away from modelling?

Oh, I didn't walk away from modelling.
Modelling walked away from me.

Okay.

I've got a big campaign coming up, and I
want you to be part of it. More than

part of it, I want you to be the face of
the campaign.

Times are changing, Nyla.

We're not always going to be a film.

Think about it.

Will you think about it?

I mean, I kind of have to. It's money
and security and general things my dad

wants me to worry about.

And... I have other people counting on
me,

too.

I don't know about that.

But I know what happy looks like.

And when you were making me this dress,
you looked happy.

Right, go on, you.

Do we have to go home?

It's getting late and Sam hasn't texted
me back, so we probably should.

You don't know me that well, but you've
probably had a bag before.

You probably know bags pretty well in
general, so why don't you tell the bag

what's wrong?

Because I'm not fit.

It's not an old thing.

I'm always chatting to my bag.

He's a good listener. He doesn't answer
back.

It's just, since Sammy moved to London,
my dad, he's been coming round a lot

more.

Sam stands up for us, for me and Mum.

He always has.

Without Sam around, my dad's been a lot
worse.

Do you want a hug?

Yeah.

Don't worry, he's gone.

And I thought I had it bad before.

I call this a Sam Wellington.

It's like a beef Wellington, except
instead of beef, it has chicken.

When he was little, Sammy refused to eat
cows. He liked them too much.

Oh, he wouldn't go anywhere without his
puddly blue cows.

That is not... True. I was very cool,
even as a young child. This is all just

lies and slander. In that case, more
lies and slander, please.

She hated Halloween.

What if you go trick -or -treating?

Yeah, right. It's the night when all the
ghosts come out. If they go out, I'm

staying in. That's not scared. That's
just smart.

What? I love Halloween. It's my
favourite holiday.

I've actually started working on my
outfit for the college party already.

College party?

Say thanks.

It doesn't seem like the most logical
choice, but it definitely feels like the

happy one.

This is worrying.

Me staying at college is worrying?

No, what's worrying is if you're going
to do something for Halloween, that

I have to do something for Halloween as
well.

You know what it is for me?

I saw your car up front.

Hi. Hi.

Hi.

I'm Nyla.

Tori.

Next door.

They used to go out.

Think you're ready?

You have to be perfect.

That would take years of training at
ballet school.

And it would be bland.

It doesn't need to be perfect.

It needs to be real.

Definitely not feeling jealous or
intimidated in any way.

And in the red corner, we have Satori.

She's known Sam her whole life.

They dated for two years.

She probably knows how Sam got that
black eye.

Also, their babies would look so cute.

And in the blue corner, we have Nyla.
She's known Sam a month. She really

him, but what would she know? She's
never even had a boyfriend.

Second down, round one.

Isn't there more to us than guys?

Hey, do you mind staying?

It's getting kind of late to the drive
back.

You can stay in my room. That'd be
awesome.

When I have friends to stay, I'm allowed
chocolate in bed.

That does sound pretty awesome.

Sure. Okay, well, I'm going to head.

I'll walk you home.

You haven't actually explained what
you're doing here.

Oh, fate played an evil trick on me.

And, uh, me too wanted it like this.

So...

Your

program for this evening.

Are you crying because it was terrible?

No.

I'm crying because I'm happy.

I mean, it was kind of terrible, but
that's why it was perfect.

I'm confused.

My mum, she loved watching the ballet,
but she couldn't do it, like, at all.

She was always pirouetting in the
kitchen and knocking things over.

It was like watching her.

It made me feel like she was here.

Okay.

Enough girling for one day.

I'm out of here.

Thank you.

Don't kiss her.

Don't kiss her.

Don't kiss her.

Why don't you want him to kiss her?

Because I want him to kiss you.

Also, she cheated on him.

Oh, they moved.

That's super frustrating.

The house feels nice, doesn't it?

The air is lighter.

Yeah, it needs to stay this way.

There are local colleges.

Not like the Athena.

And you fought hard to win that
scholarship.

If I come here, then I can look after
you and Nancy.

What have you got there?

It's something I made.

It's a present.

I'll give it to you later.

I did it in the park.

You're not giving up on this.

I won't let you. You're too talented.

Okay, for my group chat, serious face or
stupid face?

One of each.

Heads up.

So, did you kiss her?

Whoa, that is not on the list of
questions that a little sister can ask

brother.

But no, I didn't.

I know I'm letting you down and I'm
letting the agency down.

Yeah, worst decision I've ever made.
You've made that pretty clear. But I

go back to modeling just to make things
right with you or make money for you or

just to make you proud of me.

I have to make me proud of me.

And it turns out that means designing
the clothes and not wearing them.

You ready?

And then we did animal filters.

So she was a cat and then I was a
rabbit. Oh, and then we ate way too much

chocolate. Oh, and then we did this quiz
where you see what your anime character

is and then we saw our faces as emojis.
Oh, I'm so sorry.

What? No, I loved it.

Plus, I really miss my sister and I
really like Nancy.

Yeah, I'm very lucky with the female
part of my family.

And you can't have everything, right?

Was it really bad with your dad?

It's been wise.

Your black eye?

No, no.

No, like, he's got his faults, but
that's not one of them.

I sort of... I sort of hit myself.

There was this dog that really wanted to
lick my face and I put my hand up and

I... Yeah.

You thought the other guy started it.
Yeah, the other guy did start it. The

other guy was a Labrador named Munchy.

I will stop laughing, just give me a
second

I know what everyone will say. Take me
outside through the whole wide

world. It's written.
