(peaceful music)

- [Therapist] Is there something you'd want to say to Dani?

- [Ingrid] Of course.

- From what you've told me,

it sounds like she's quite understanding.

- Well, yeah, it's just like,

I wanted one thing and she wanted something else.

And now I don't know what she's thinking.

- [Therapist] What do you want?

(peaceful music)

- [Ingrid] Everything to be normal again?

- [Therapist] Is there such a thing?

(peaceful music)

- [Ingrid] I just wanna go back to school

and forget the last few months ever happened.

- Do you feel like you're ready?

(peaceful music)

(car door opening)

- Mum, can you go?

Everyone's gonna stare.

(car starting)

- And so she returns.

How are ya?

- Good, how are you?

- Good, thanks.

- Hmm, legalize.

- Both.

- Aren't gonna get in trouble for wearing that?

- Worked in the ACT, didn't it?

Man, if we went to school up there,

I could be smoking a cone right now

and the school could do Jack all about it.

- I meant the whole non-uniform thing.

What are you looking at?

- Guess you didn't get the memo on the psych ward.

- Tell me it's not-

- Casual Clothes Day, yeah.

- [Ingrid] Seriously?

- Gotta be better than a straight jacket though, right?

- You couldn't have told me?

- It's not my fault you're on a social media detox.

Don't let it wig you out.

- I'm going home to change.

- Look, okay, cool, I'll come with you then.

Or you can always wear this, hmm?

- No one should wear that.

- All right, how's this?

After school, come back to mine.

We shack, we'll chill.

Watch movies, play games.

- Sounds fun.

- All right.

Dani may or may not be there.

Come on, let's go.

No, you gotta do it.

- (scoffing) She's like so clueless.

- I'd rather die.

- She tried that already.

(both laughing)

Oh, can you imagine coming back

with everyone knowing what you did?

- Honestly, if I was Ingrid,

we wouldn't be talking.

- Ugh, she's such a mole. - Such a mole.

(rock music)

- (laughing) What is that?

- Never seen one before?

- No, just not that size.

I think it would fit perfect though.

- Have we met?

- I would've remembered.

- Yeah, she's been kind of like-

- Just dealing with some health stuff,

but I'm all good now.

- Yeah, yeah, well yeah.

- That's good.

- Sorry, is that meant to be a joke?

- Only if you find women's bodies amusing.

- Surely you could see how some students

would find it offensive.

- See, I like it, it's-

- Don't we have the right to express ourselves?

- Yes, but that's not what-

- Well, what about his shirt?

That's a political statement.

- I'm into hor-culture.

- Horticulture.

- Ugh, just take it off.

- You really disappoint me miss.

I would've thought you'd have the guts

to stand up to the patriarchy.

- Would you like me to get Mr. Mallows?

- Fine.

(all gasping)

Better?

- Heaps.

- I have nothing to be ashamed of.

- No you don't, no, not at all, ma'am.

- Staff room now.

(Ingrid scoffing)

- I like her.

- Okay, so who can name a musician

that was underappreciated in their time?

- (Brayden) Darude. No question about it.

- God you're such an idiot.

Ingrid?

- I wouldn't know, miss.

- (mocking) I wouldn't know, miss.

- All right, settle down.

All right, in the meantime,

we're gonna listen to some examples.

- What about Kurt Cobain?

Suicide made him heaps more popular.

- Wouldn't work for everyone.

- What are you trying to do, mate?

- [Jade] Actually, Nirvana was pretty popular

before he did that, so.

- What were the '80s like, miss?

- (scoffing) '90s, Ruby.

- Do you think Cobain did it just for the attention?

- You are so ignorant.

- Mate, that is it, all right?

I've had it! - You wanna go, you wanna go?

- Leave it!

You're in detention, leave it alone, leave it.

- Miss, he didn't start it.

- [Heidi] You're such a kiss-ass.

- [Jade] Where do you think you are going?

- Sorry, miss.

- [Jade] Sit.

- Mate, what are you doing?

(water running)

- I'm in control.

People care about me.

I can rise above..

(footsteps)

Sorry, I was-

- It's fine.

I chat to myself all the time.

Like why did I decide to wear this?

- It's cool. I like it.

Trust me. I would know.

- Oh, cool thanks.

(laughing)

- You don't have to pretend.

- I'm not.

(knocking)

- Ingrid!

Either you're mad constipated-

- Get out!

Now!

- You're gonna have to come out

sooner or later.

(upbeat music)

- What are you doing later?

Mums away.

- Sweet. I'll bring my bong.

- Not you.

- Are you sure?

- I cleaned the pool!

- [Brayden] Really?

Sweet, pool party!

- What are you doing?

- You don't want it to just be the two of yous,

do ya?

- You might wanna lock that down.

(gasps) Ow!

- Oh, are you okay?

- Bullseye. (laughs)

- Seriously mate?

You think that's funny mate?

- [Harry] It wasn't me.

You are such a loser! Hurting chicks.

- Whoa, whoa, what?

Why are you thinking it was me?

- (laughs) Sorry.

I'm, uh, terrible at basketball.

Do you wanna get your head checked, Ingrid?

- I think you need to get your head checked.

Honestly, Ruby.

- Just leave it.

- No, seriously.

This is this ridiculous. - Stop!

- Geez!

- (mockingly) Geez!

- Swear to God.

Ingrid!

(pill bottle moving)

(basketball bouncing)

- Here, Damo, Damo, Damo

Back, back back.

- Oi, what's she doing?

- Mate, nice try.

- No, look.

- (laughing) Priceless.

- You're gonna jump or what?

- (Brayden) Shut up, mate!

- Have you guys seen Ingrid?

- She's on the roof.

- What?

- Go on, do a flip.

- [Celeste] You say one more thing like that

and I'll-

- And what?

- I'll report you.

Both of you.

- I'm terrified.

- You should be.

because inciting someone to commit suicide

is a crime.

- And going topless in the hallway isn't?

- It shouldn't be.

- Well, someone's gotta get her down, all right?

- You'll get suspended.

- I, I don't care.

- But let me, let me, let me do it.

- You barely know her.

- I know what she's going through.

- Do a double!

- How many rotations do you reckon you could stick, Ingrid?

- Shut up mate!

- Seriously, there's something wrong with you.

- Come on Ingrid, we don't have all day.

- Oh, I can't watch.

- What's Celeste doing?

- Look how small they all look.

- Come on. Show the patriarchy who's boss.

Woo! - Yeah!

- Can I help you?

- Just here for the suicide pact.

- Do me a favor and go patronize someone else.

- You shouldn't be afraid to talk about your mental health.

- And what would you know?

- Why do you think I left my old school?

- Did everyone there hate you as well?

- No,

just 99% of the population.

- Go on!

- All of you, inside now!

- Miss we're halfway through our game.

- Not anymore you're not.

Give me the ball.

- Hey miss,

if she jumps, we get the rest of the day off, right?

- That's enough inside.

You too.

- The universe is like it's like yin and yang.

Most people suck.

Yeah.

But then sometimes you get people who are really special.

So you can't have one without the other.

- Wow, you should put that on a poster.

- Oh, totally.

It's tattoo goals.

- Ugh, don't even get me started.

- Do I wanna know?

- No.

- Ingrid, Are you okay?

You know the roof is out of bounds.

- It's my fault, miss.

- What?

- Yeah, I, uh, dead anchored to get an aerial shot

of the yard for a video I'm making.

- Can I see it?

- I, I just left my phone in my locker.

That's where we we're going.

- Right, and this is the official version of events then?

- Yeah.

- I guess I'll have to put you both on detention.

Come on.

(drumming on table)

- Okay. Enough.

- Sorry. I'm just trying to express myself.

- Quiet.

- Miss, how much longer do you reckon we'll be in here?

- Well, you just got here.

So another 55 minutes.

- Oh, hope you're getting paid over time.

- That is none of your business.

- That's a no.

- I don't do this job for the money.

- Why do you do it then, miss?

- Because I love to see all of you

delightful children every day.

- Said the priest to the choir boy.

- That is offensive.

- You just wanna ban any statements that we make

don't you?

Would you prefer me to sit here in silence?

- Ideally.

You know what?

Keep talking and we'll do this all again tomorrow.

- Oh, come on, that's bull!

- Finish your English assignment.

- Miss.

How do you spell oppression?

- Okay, explain.

- Haven't you ever savored your freedom?

Not everyone's as lucky as us, you know.

- Was everyone at your old school so-

- Enlightened?

Passionate?

- Yeah, sure.

- I mean they were passionate about

AFL, getting wrecked every weekend.

- Surely there's someone you miss from your old school?

- My music teacher was a lot better.

I didn't have a Brayden there

if that's what you're getting at.

- That's why one in a million babes.

All natural.

- No, no.

We're not together or anything.

- Really, come on.

- As if.

Ah, she's way out of my league.

- No argument there.

- So you coming to Saffron's pool party?

- Mm.

Celeste you're going to be there, right?

- Yeah. Meet all the boys

- Sure, why not?

- Awesome.

Lovely.

(aerosol spraying)

(coughing)

- Steady on.

- Too much?

- I could smell it from the house.

- Yeah right.

- Hey, are you going somewhere?

- What's it to you?

- Can't I show an interest?

- There's only one thing you are interested in.

So just ask it.

- Okay.

How did Ingrid get on, you know,

first day back and everything?

- Hmm. Let me think,

you should ask you yourself.

- What's a big deal.

- See, you're my sister.

- Oh, don't remind me.

- So I don't wanna know about all these little flings.

- Hey Ingrid wasn't a-

- Ah, see, I don't give her stuff, so.

- Can you at least tell me if she's okay.

- Well, she's coming to the party,

isn't she?

- Oh, hence your weekly shower.

I guess she'll call me when she's ready.

- You're always this clingy?

- You know, you should probably spray on a bit more.

- Really?

(continues spraying)

- Oh, why can't I be like everyone else?

- Mm, yeah, good question.

- It's like he gets off on saying no

to absolutely everything.

- Dad's just worried about you, okay?

- I can't even have friends now?

- Not all friends are a good influence, are they?

- Don't start that again.

- Well, mum needs your help.

- [Mum] Do I?

- Apparently I'm not even allowed

to go to my friend's house to study.

- Really, study.

- Oh, shut up.

You don't know Saffron

she gets like straight A's.

= What then go.

- But I thought he said-

- Your dad just doesn't want you hanging around with

other people who get you into trouble again.

- Yeah, I know.

- But.

Saffron sounds like she's responsible.

(upbeat party music)

- Oh, I can't.

- It's raspberry.

You can hardly taste the vodka.

- No, really, I'm good.

- Is it cause of your busted libel?

- Well, for me then.

Seriously?

- What are you even doing here?

- Just hanging out with my friends.

- Oh, ah,

who were they again?

- (Celeste) Hey.

- So not all for me.

- It's not poison.

- I was just gonna ask like,

do you know what brand this cracker is?

- It's cheese.

- Okay.

- Have fun.

You have to eat ethically, you know?

- Mhm.

- Do you wanna get outta here?

- What, just the two of us?

Yeah, I mean,

unless you wanna invite the sociopath?

- Okay, cool.

- Good bro.

- Great.

(splashing)

- Oh, I'm going to kill you.

- We are soaking wet.

- Whoa. Too much information.

- I'm gonna go dry off.

- Thanks a lot.

- What are we doing?

- Just keep your eyes closed.

Keep them closed.

Keep them closed.

Okay.

And open them.

(laughing)

I found out when I was looking for Saffron's hair dryer

explains the whole Stepford wives thing she's got going on,

doesn't it?

- Oh, come on.

There's more to Saffron than that.

And plus you shouldn't be looking through

other people's things.

- Believe me,

you do not wanna see what was in her other drawer.

- Really?

- Oh, Oh.

So now you're interested.

- So what if I am?

- Wouldn't wanna get caught?

Anyone could walk in.

- Yeah, like who?

- Yeah, like Brayden never seems

to let you out of his sight.

- I thought we already went through this.

There's nothing going on between me and Brayden.

I'm not exactly into guys.

- Oh, okay.

Cool.

There was me thinking you saved his first born

from drowning or something.

What's with all the Brayden questions anyway?

- Just interested in people.

- People.

- Sure.

- Maybe someone in particular.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, you gotta admit it.

He's kind of cute.

- What?

- Yeah, I mean like Brayden

has to take a look at some of his really toxic biases,

no question,

but he's pretty funny.

- Yep.

He's a real joker.

- Don't you wanna see the rest?

- No, I'm good.

- My sister bought it in Milan.

What do you think?

- Yeah, it looks great on you.

- Careful wouldn't wanna have to pump your stomach.

- You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

- Ingrid, tell me,

what's it like being in a room without

any sharp objects at all?

- Mate, do you ever shut up?

- Didn't realize you were kissing Ingrid's ass.

- Oh, you think you're so clever, don't you?

With your little snide remarks.

Just shut up, all right mate?

A little bit of sensitivity wouldn't hurt, would it?

All right? - Please.

- Just don't worry about it, Ingrid.

Just shut up.

- What are you gonna do about it?

- He's just saying what everyone's thinking.

It's not like she's gonna be around much longer.

- Okay. Enough.

So you know what I did to myself.

So what, imagine what I'd like to do to you?

- Ooh, is that a threat?

- Actually?

Yeah.

(splashing)

(laughing)

(teasing)

- I'm gonna kill her.

I'm actually gonna do it this time.

- You shouldn't say things like that.

- Yeah, no, maybe you're right.

I'll wait and she can just do it herself.

- She was just defending herself.

- Poor defenseless Ingrid, please.

You don't know her.

- Yeah, I actually do though.

- Oh, so you're okay with what she did to Harry?

Like wrecked his life.

- Everyone makes mistakes.

- But we can't call Ingrid out for hers, can we?

- Put this on.

- Little help?

Or you're just like everybody else?

There's two sides to every story, you know?

- Okay.

- So tell me,

- Like you'd listen.

- Maybe I'll surprise you.

- Forget it.

- Whatever.

- Surprised Ruby didn't sock Ingrid in the eye after that.

- Because that'd be hilarious.

- Why do you always defend her man?

- Cause she doesn't deserve it.

- Yes she does. In case you forgot.

- Mate.

Honestly, just imagine this.

You wore her down and she finally, you know,

goes through with it.

How would you feel then?

Tell me the truth.

- Whatever.

You're just cooked, honestly.

- Hello, hello, hello.

- Hey.

Hope you gave him a piece to your mind.

- Big time.

- Yeah. What do you know?

Not every guy in this town is an ignoramus .

- I would never ignore an anus.

Sorry, I must still have water in my ear.

- That was me about to ask

if you wanted to hang some time.

- Hmm?

- Don't suppose you're accustomed

to being asked out by a girl.

- No, I am all the time.

Ingrid knows, tell her all about it.

- Yep.

- So when you gonna do it?

Well, I've got a blue belt tournament this weekend, so.

Just keep that in mind.

- So how was studying?

- Got there in the end.

- Right?

But you didn't even bring your books with you.

- It was a long walk I used Saffron's.

- Right.

(rustling through the drawer)

- Has someone been in here?

- A little too old for the tooth fairy,

aren't you?

- It's not funny. I need them.

- What for?

- You get what happened, right?

The first step in fixing a problem is acknowledging it.

- So what you did something dumb.

- Yeah, really, really dumb but,

intentionally.

Didn’t manage to sell them then?

It’s not the reason why I took them.

No you just wanted to mess with me.

No.

I was reading about it online.

Why?

It’s how you learn.

Should try it out sometime.

It’s fine it’s my prescription.

So, what, I don’t get to know what you’re dealing with?

Have you tried asking?

Oh yeah ‘cause you’d totally tell me.

It’s not your problem.

Well you are my sister, so...

Debate club?

- Thanks. - No worries.

- [Brayden] What's up?

- [Ingrid] Nothing.

- Pizza or laser tag?

- For what?

- To take Celeste on a date.

- (scoff) Do you know her at all?

She's into like art and culture

and she's all sophisticated.

- Right, so pizza?

- Mm, yes, the height of fine dining.

- Well they do pasta as well, so.

Yo, Celeste.

- Hm? Hey!

- [Brayden] What are you up to tonight?

- Uh, seeing some friends.

- Rejected.

- Shut up. - Why?

- I was wondering if you guys were up to hang?

- Oh, it's probably not really your scene.

Uh, and you know, 'guys' isn't very inclusive.

- Right, um, that's fine.

It's cool.

That's uh, it's whatever.

- That was painful.

- Was it?

- [Ingrid] Just let him down gently, okay?

- Why would I do that?

- You're actually interested in him?

- Yo, Bray!

Uh, I could probably fit you in

before I see my friends, if you like?

- Yeah. Sweet.

Whatever.

Cool.

(students chattering)

- "You can't go to a birthday party in jeans!"

"Oh, well, but what if it's my birthday party?"

"Well, you're gonna thank me one day!"

- I thought your parents were cool

with you being gay?

- Yeah, they were.

They are, but you know,

being gay and shopping in the men's section

are two completely different situations for my mother.

- Mm.

So you're really gonna get rid of all this stuff?

- Yep.

Bad memories.

(soft music)

- Gee, who got you this?

- I'll give you three guesses.

- Ew.

- I mean, it's yours, if you want it.

It's like, definitely your style.

- Gee, thanks.

- What?

- Seems like a bit of a waste, that's all.

- Yeah, well, sometimes

you just got to let things go.

(soft music)

- Mm-hm.

(soft music)

- You don't fancy coming clubbing, do you?

- Oh, no!

I left my glow sticks at home.

- Have you ever been?

- Yeah, the whole weird foot guy thing.

- Right, yeah. (laughs)

I mean to a gay club.

(soft music)

Do you wanna maybe come with me?

- I don't know.

- We could dance.

Could be fun.

- What would I wear?

(shirt rustles)

- Behold, The Fortress of Solitude.

- (laughs) Well, I've got a date tonight.

- Oh, I didn't know Ed was back.

- With a chick.

Ingrid, tell her about Celeste.

- She does exist.

- But?

Well, come on, there's gotta be something wrong with her.

- I mean, she's artsy, a little bit Gothic

and pretty smart.

- And insane?

- Look, did you come down here for a reason?

- My box of clothes.

There's really cute stuff in there, I promise.

It's, hey, Aha!

Why is it open?

- See, she's just angry now 'cause

no one's into her anymore, so.

- I mean, she kind of has a point though.

Celeste?

- Why not Celeste?

- You don't really seem like her type.

- Course I am.

What chick doesn't like a guy with muscles?

- Mm, artsy types, militant feminists.

I feel like Celeste would be more into someone

who was edgy and mature, deep and thoughtful.

- And what? That's not me?

(both chuckles)

(faint traffic humming)

(club music)

Seems busy.

- What do you expect?

Friday night is when it all happens.

- Do you know anyone who's going to be here?

- Uh, yeah, a few.

(club music)

- Is there gonna be anywhere quiet to sit?

- Maybe a toilet cubicle?

Come on. We're here to dance.

- Don't you want to get food or something?

- If I do I won't be able to move.

It's gonna be fine.

You're gonna have fun,

I promise.

- Yeah, I know.

It's just like blood sugar and all that.

- Hey.

I've got you, okay?

(crowd chattering) (club music)

- Hey, so, you know before,

when we were talking about the whole

not just wanting to be friends thing?

- Yeah, yeah, we're friends.

- Like, just friends?

The Velvet Underground.

A joke about his style, huh?

You're so clever.

How did I know you'd be the type of person

to judge someone on their appearance?

- Having a good time there?

- Sorry, babe, not everyone's as cultured as me.

- Oh, no, yeah, that's Brayden, all right.

Real deep and thoughtful.

- It is.

- Mm, he, uh, writes about some pretty dark stuff.

Got a few demons, don't you?

Read her one of your poems!

- Nah!

- You write poetry?

- No, what? No.

- Ah, come on.

Don't be shy.

He made someone cry in music once.

- Ed doesn't count.

- I'd love to hear one of your poems.

(Brayden exhales)

- Ah, nah, it's too, too soon, too tragic.

Me granddad died in the war.

They need to put a stop to that war business, I reckon.

- Right.

- How old was he?

- Um, young, fairly young.

Tragic.

So he'd be...

- Right, and how old's your mom?

- Um...

- Because the war ended in 1945.

- Sure?

- Wow. (laughs)

No, no, I meant 'Nam!

It was, I meant 'Nam.

- I didn't ask to hang out with you

so you could pretend to care about important things.

- I wasn't pretending.

- There's only one thing worse than

someone who's ignorant.

Someone who's dishonest.

- Couldn't just let me have this one,

could you, Ruby?

- It's not my fault she's so touchy.

- Celeste, just let me explain.

- What's the point, Brayden?

- Oh, come on!

- Hi.

(Heidi and Saffron laugh)

- You can't judge these 'til you try them.

- Ugh, the thought of eating them makes you wanna-

- Hey, weren't you looking for her?

- Nah.

- Uh, let's just go home.

- That's not what you said before.

- Well, it's not important.

(Heidi laughs)

(both laughing)

- It's not Halloween yet, mate.

- Why's your face so scary then?

- (laughs) Do you lose a bet or something?

- Hey, I don't feel so great.

- Did you drink too much?

- No.

- (laughs) Say that to your pool.

- Nah, I get that.

You have one, two, then a six pack.

They all goin' missing!

And then you do something fully cooked.

- Do you need someone to look after you?

- She's okay.

- I'll call you.

- Why?

(upbeat dance music)

- Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?

C'mon. Let's go.

- Now?

- Trust me.

- Don't you just love this song?

- This is really important.

- I think your girlfriend wants you to leave.

- I'll just be one minute, okay?

(girl laughs)

(upbeat dance music)

- Look, I'm sorry about Ruby.

She's, you know, a stirrer.

- Yeah, she's not the only one.

- So what?

I exaggerated a little bit.

Shoot me.

- Yeah, and there was me thinking

I would never reconsider my stance on gun ownership.

- Geez, sorry for trying.

- Little too hard, mate.

- You know, it's not my fault I've never been on a...

- On a date before?

I'm shocked.

- Well, it's, you know.

You're so...

I'm so...

We're different.

- Yeah.

- What was I supposed to do?

Invite you back to my shack to play video games?

- Depends. You any good?

- Serious?

- You haven't seen me with an energy sword.

- But I thought chicks hate gaming?

- Might want to try being more inclusive next time, Brayden.

- Next time?

(horn honks)

- What's wrong?

- You're welcome.

- For what?

- Rescuing you.

- (scoffs) Listen, I was doing just fine in there.

- Yeah? That girl was being super pushy.

- No, she wasn't.

- I've seen her around

- And?

- She's with someone new every week.

- Really? You're gonna slut shame?

- No, I'm just red flagging.

Like, you know,

is she really what you're looking for?

- (laughs) I am literally so confused right now.

You just told me you only wanted to be friends.

Like, why did you even bring me here?

- So you could have a good time.

- I was having a good time!

- Great. Excellent.

- So then..?

- Don't you want to go get something to eat?

I could murder a bhaji.

- (laughs) Can't dance on a full stomach.

- It's getting kind of late though.

- So?

- Well, your parents?

They'll worry.

(Ingrid sighs)

- They think I'm staying with Saffron.

Why do you wanna leave all of a sudden?

- I'm just,

done.

- Is that really it?

- Yep.

- Well, then, that's on you, isn't it?

(vocalizing)

- Chlorine damage? Give me a break.

- Maybe her family needs the money.

- Doubt it.

Pretty sure she's just-

- Wow!

(laughs)

What?

- Oh...

So sexist, as if they think that'll appeal to girls.

- [Celeste] Absolutely not.

Kind of might, though.

- Hm.

Don't you just wanna tear it down?

- Yeah, part of me does.

But some might see it as empowering.

- Huh.

- Relax. Personally, I would never step foot in there.

- You don't go clubbing much?

- Hardly ever.

- Have you ever been to...?

- [Brayden] Hey-oh!

- Oh!

- What time you coming over?

- Oh, actually, I've got some things to do first.

- Oh, yeah, no. Cool, um...

Me too. So yeah, no, cool, whenever!

- It's just some self-care stuff.

You know the feeling of going home, relaxing,

taking off your bra, hopping into a bath after a long day.

- Yeah. Set the sisters free!

That's what I always say, anyway.

(laughs)

- I'll see you later.

- See ya. Look forward to it!

- [Ingrid] Ah, stop drooling.

- Me? I'm not. You're drooling, too.

- Ew!

- Come on, come with me. I need your opinion on something!

- Where are you taking me?

Oi!

- Is that not the schmickest bling you have ever seen?

- Isn't that kind of expensive?

- Yeah, well, I have the cash, so...

Sold some eighth graders an ounce

three times what I paid for it. Half of it's catnip! Idiots!

- Right, well...

What if you and Celeste don't work out?

- Why wouldn't we work out?

- Why don't you get her that instead?

- (scoffs) That one? It's not even real silver.

- The price isn't important. It's about what it represents.

She'll be into it. Trust me.

- Thanks, Ingrid.

Appreciate it.

- Dude. That was me.

- Yeah, I know. (laughs)

- Oh hey, you.

- [Celeste] Hi!

- Got somethin' for ya.

- Oh thanks, but I already ate. (laughs)

- Give it to her later.

- Oh, don't worry, I will.

(Celeste laughs)

This.

- Is that for me?

- Well, it's a bit big for the cats, so...

- How did you know that I like the yin yang? It's beautiful.

- Try it on.

- Ah, Brayden. You're choking me! (laughing)

- Sorry. Ingrid, can you?

(Ingrid groans)

It's all about taking the good with the bad.

- [Ingrid] Dualism.

- You just really surprise me, you know?

- Well, I surprise myself sometimes, so...

- I'm gonna get a drink if anyone wants anything.

- Like, it's so thoughtful.

- (scoffs) Yeah.

- [Dani] Hey!

I, uh, I heard you were around.

- Yeah, hi!

Uh, going out?

- Uh, yeah. I'm going, um,

to go meet a friend.

- Right.

- Hey, look, can, um...

can we just forget about the other night?

- Mm-hmm.

- I didn't mean to get all like...

- No, it actually wasn't you. Um...

I kind of saw someone there and it threw me.

- Oh, good for you.

- No, not like that.

It was Celeste. I saw Celeste there.

- Like, Brayden's Celeste?

(gasps)

Oh, that's good! That's priceless!

- Mm-hmm.

- It's an Italian dish. It's bread and beans, cheese...

It's gourmet. You're gonna love it.

- I'm just not sure you've grasped

what vegan actually means.

- Hey, stranger.

- [Brayden] Oh...

Celeste, meet Dani, my sister.

- Hi.

- Best to ignore her.

- Hmm. You're actually...

You're actually really familiar.

Have we met somewhere before?

- Were you at the Women's March?

- No, I was thinking more QQ2.

- That's probably it. (chuckles)

- It's a club.

- Oh yeah, no, I know. I go...

I got a club in Hips.

- It's a gay club.

- Wait...

What?

- See yas!

- Um, just...

- Ugh! Were you deliberately trying to shoot me?

- I thought you played for the other team. Sorry.

(scoffs)

- It's gettin' a bit frosty in here.

- I got a shirt. It's plaid. Do you like plaid?

- Plaid's fine.

- Just do this, real quick. (grunts)

Yeah, just like that. (grunts)

- Hey, is this some kind of fetish you wanna tell me about?

- No, believe me. I'm not into hairy chicks.

- Right, but there's nothing wrong with choosing

not to conform to male-imposed beauty standards, yeah?

- I am Mr. Beauty Standards.

- Is there something you wanna ask me?

- Who's Sam?

- Been doing a bit of cyber-stalking, have we?

- Well, just browsing,

and they've left a fair bit of comments, so...

- We used to go out.

- Yeah. So,

is it a

girl or guy?

- Okay, let's see if I can simplify this for you.

Yeah.

I have dated people who identify as different genders.

I believe sexuality is a spectrum.

- Amen to that.

Pink lemonade, anyone?

- [Celeste] Thanks.

At.

- D'you reckon it'd be rude to ask for my necklace back?

- Skate park?

- I don't skate.

- Burgers?

- Just ate.

- Can you come up with something, then?

'Cause I don't wanna stay here.

- Oh, you're not so keen on Celeste anymore?

- I just need some space.

- [Ingrid] Why is that?

- Cause unlike you, I know when I'm barking

up the wrong tree.

- What about that mini golf place?

- Lame.

- [Celeste] Hey, I'm so there!

Sounds so good.

- [Ingrid] Seriously, Saffron could use our help.

She's stuck with Ruby right now.

- Mini golf's fun.

- Yeah, well, if you're like 12 years old.

- Isn't that your mental age, anyway?

- Why are we friends again?

- Mm...

Free ice creams?

- Seriously this close to being fired.

I think they're noticing.

- Oh please. What do you have to lose?

- Oh, he's just scared of getting beat by a girl.

- Try having Dani as your sister who literally did beat me.

- You probably deserved it.

- What's wrong?

- Okay, we'll play your stupid mini golf.

- Yay!

- What's wrong with him?

- I don't know where to start.

- She's bi.

- Sexual?

- No bifocal, you idiot.

We all know that's just a stop to lezzer station, don't we?

- (scoffs) Yeah, because you're the expert on sexuality,

Mr. V-Man.

- Well, we can't all be the town bi, can we, Ruby?

- Turned you down?

- People do dumb stuff when they drink.

- That's just an excuse.

- Good chat. Really good chat.

- Bi means bi, Brayden.

- Okay. Bye.

(Saffron and Celeste laughing)

- That's not good.

- What's going on, guys?

- Trying to teach Celeste how to swing properly.

- Oh no. Celeste knows how to swing, I reckon.

- Just be gentle next time, okay?

Don't send it flying onto the next green.

- Hey.

It's my first time.

- Any hole's a goal. Am I right?

- Is this because of what we talked about earlier?

- No, absolutely not. I'm cool with it.

You know?

- Obviously it is.

- What did I...

What did I say?

- [Ingrid] Sometimes.

- Hey, are you upset with Brayden?

- Him?

No.

Myself?

I should've known he'd react like this.

- I'm sure he didn't mean it.

- Right. And anyone can see

that he can't handle the fact I'm bi.

He thinks I'm just gonna hook up with anyone.

- The only person he wants you to hook up with is him.

Believe me.

- What was I thinking here?

- Come on, everyone can be an idiot sometimes.

All right, Brayden is an idiot most of the time.

But it's only because he likes you so much.

- He has a very odd way of showing it.

- I mean, he did get you that necklace.

- How is it he's so annoying one minute,

and then the next he's, like...?

It's, like, interesting.

You know?

- Beats me.

- You didn't tell him, did you?

About our chat?

- Nothing specific.

- Level with me.

Did he really pick out that necklace?

Or...?

- Who's winning?

- Not me, that's for sure.

Look, can you just not come back in?

- Yeah. I mean, the night's still young.

Might be able to score some numbers.

Saffron's cute.

- Be cool.

(Brayden sighs)

- Look, I've just

never really been out with a bi girl before.

- How would you know?

- Because I've never really had a good-

- No surprise this is how you react.

- It's just hard, you know. You know, the whole club thing,

Danny, but you're into me?

- That shouldn't matter.

- I just want you to be straight with me.

- Isn't that the truth?

- I really like using stuff, and I don't wanna screw it up.

- Then stop screwing it up!

- Yin yang.

Take the good with the bad, right?

- Hmm.

- Look, I'd do anything for a second chance.

I'd take my top off. I'd eat a golf ball.

- Can you just stop talking?

- Look, I probably can't. (laughs)

(soft pop music)

- And that is why it is important to wear a condom

even if both partners appear to be STI free.

- Oh thank god, I am starving.

- Okay everyone, grab your bananas

because we are going to learn how to put

a condom on today.

(students giggling)

(condom popping) Brayden!

- What, I just wanted to make sure

it would fit my pecker.

- What about same sex couples miss?

What do they have to look out for?

- Great question, you can learn all about that

in the booklet that I'm going to give you after class.

It has lots of comprehensive information.

- Why don't you just tell us now?

Are you embarrassed?

- It's all in the booklet.

- It's funny that in a sex education class

we haven't heard one word about consent.

- Oh come on. - Sexuality, pleasure,

or abortion. - [Teacher] Okay,

that's enough.

- Why are you even taking this class

if you are so uncomfortable?

- [Students] Ooh.

- What do you tell gay kids

and young women who are constantly subjected

to the sexual advances of men

who haven't been taught the first thing

about the meaning of consent?

- Now is not the time.

- When is, miss?

'Cause I refuse to take part in a sex ed class

that ignores the main issues.

- [Heidi] Sucked in.

- That class was awesome.

- By awesome you mean disgusting, right?

- Check these out.

- No amount of free condoms

is going to fix a broken sex ed program.

- Should see us through the weekend though.

- What do you want Jade to do?

She has to teach the curriculum.

It's not her fault the booklet's lame.

- Is that really good enough for you?

- I'm just glad it's over.

- And that's the thing.

No one cares.

Jade should've told us about the full spectrum

of sexuality.

Don't you want to have smart and safer sex?

- Beggars can't be choosers.

- What are you getting at?

- I want your help.

- We, the undersigned, demand more progressive

and inclusive sex ed classes.

You really think a petition is the answer?

- Yeah, I mean, we take it around the school,

get a bunch of signatures,

I'll type it up and then we present it to Jade.

Then she'll have to listen to us.

- Who's going to sign that?

- Yeah, I will.

- You agree it's important, right?

- Sure.

- So, will you help me?

- So this petition demands

that we are given a more inclusive

and progressive sex education.

- Seriously Brayden, leave me alone.

- Just sign the petition and I will.

- Do you want me to shove that pen

where the sun don't shine?

- See, this is why we need better sex ed.

Yo Jack, what's up dude?

- Hi, excuse me.

- This is your opportunity to be

on the right side of history.

Look, if you don't sign it one day

you might look back and go, aw gee,

wish I'd have been part of that inspiring movement.

(upbeat music)

- I'm not signing it.

- Come on Ruby, you don't even know what it's for yet.

- And I don't care.

- It's a petition to get rid of school uniforms.

- Really?

- Hey guys, you don't want to miss out on this.

This is your chance to do something really important.

(upbeat music)

- Trust me, there's nothing hotter than a guy

who's aware of social issues.

- What's your number?

- Keep the pen.

- I warned you.

- What would Saffron think?

Thank you.

- Promise me you haven't forged any of these signatures.

- Swear on my old dog Bogger's grave

that these are all 100 percent legit.

- What about you?

Only two signatures?

Brayden and I managed to get two pages worth.

- Two is better than none, right?

- You haven't even signed it yourself.

- Babe, it's not her fault

she's not as charismatic as some of us.

- Guess not.

- Like the petition's going to work anyway.

- Jade might deny me, but she can't deny

the will of the people.

- Okay so, what do you want me to do with this?

- Take it to the principal or the education department.

- Or the president.

- Okay, I love your enthusiasm

but there is only a limited amount of time

we can actually spend on this in class.

- But the people have spoken, miss.

- I understand but we're at school,

not in a democracy.

- So much work needs to be done.

- Sorry.

I didn't realize you were such an advocate

for LGBT women's rights.

- I've been a feminist since the day

I've come out of my mum's crapper, miss.

- Look, sex education might simply be

a box you need to tick off on the school's curriculum, miss.

But for us students who don't get to walk away

from the rape culture and the homophobia,

this is a serious issue.

- There's nothing I can do, now go.

Come on, scoot, out, yeah, come on, goodbye.

- You are a patriarchal collaborator, miss.

This isn't over!

- Yeah, four twenty.

- Well, I guess that's that.

- I can't believe this.

Who does Jade think she is?

- You could always stage a mass protest.

- Oh my god, Ingrid, I could kiss you right now,

you're a genius.

Come on Brayden, we need to organize.

- Good one.

- [Teacher] Right, Oliver.

- [Oliver] Here.

- Thank you.

Julia.

- [Julia] Here.

- Thank you.

Ruby.

- Here.

- [Teacher] Great, Ingrid.

- Here.

- [Teacher] Excellent, Celeste.

Anybody seen Celeste?

No, okay, all right, Alex.

- [Girl Over Speaker] Attention students.

Today we are going to have inclusive

and progressive sex education for all.

- [Teacher] No, sit down you guys.

Come, where do you think you're going?

(upbeat music)

- Two, four, six, eight,

better sex ed would be great.

- Two, four, six, eight,

teach us how to masturbate.

- Everyone, come.

Join us as we protest for the sex education curriculum

we both need and deserve.

- What about queer students?

I knew it.

- He's an ally, you all can be.

- Especially us straight students.

- Oh yeah, yeah, I'm sure.

You've never been straighter, Brayden.

- Ruby, I know you've signed the petition.

Come, join us.

- Yeah, no, I certainly

haven't signed this petition.

- What?

- [Ruby] Braydon made me sign something,

it was about casual dress.

- Did you trick people into signing?

- I thought it would be creative.

- If you want people to join your protest,

don't lie to them.

It makes you seem gross.

- Ingrid, come, help us, please.

- Ingrid.

Why didn't you come out and support us, huh?

- I don't know.

- This was our one chance

to fix something that's broken in this school

and all you could do was hide in class

like a coward.

- Don't you dare call me a coward.

- Oh, I'm wrong am I?

- I'm not even out to my parents yet.

I can't exactly be the poster child of gay rights.

What if someone took a photo and posted it?

- I just wanted to know I could count on you.

- Celeste.

- I'm not going to apologize for that protest.

- Just chill, all right, just chill.

Look, this isn't the school's view

or Mrs O'Brien's but, between you and me,

I really admire you for what you did.

You stood up for something that you believe in.

You should be proud of yourself.

- Didn't work though, did it?

- Well actually, I've had a chat to the principal

and you've been given approval

to start an after school LGBT plus group.

- Seriously?

Of course I would, yes.

- And with your cooperation, we'll consult

with the group on the sex education curriculum.

- Oh my god, that is awesome.

Thank you so much.

We won't let you down.

- However, to make it all official,

we do need you to sign at least two members.

- Okay.

- What?

Oh no, sorry miss, I'm not, you know.

- It's the least you can do.

- Sign me up.

- Consider it done.

- See what happens when you stand up for something?

- Four twenty.

- I can't believe I got this for such a bargain.

- I can, price tag's still on it.

- Can I see it for a sec?

Just what I thought.

It's only cheap

'cause it's made by children

in third world countries

that get paid like 10 cents an hour.

You are literally supporting child abuse.

- Shame on you Ingrid.

- And since when did you care?

- I like kids.

Not in that way.

- And animal farming

is why local meat is so cheap.

Get this, almost 200,000 cattle

are slaughtered each week in Australia.

- And that's not right either.

- And where do you think your delicious

pepperoni pizza comes from?

- Oh but like I'm only having a slice or two.

- Well that slice or two was once a living creature.

- Happy?

- Wasting food is even worse!

What'd the animal die for? Nothing!

- Oh babe, come on-

- No!

- What's funny?

- Oh my God.

- [Ingrid] I think this is my favorite flavor.

- [Celeste] Ever?

- What did you get?

- Brownie I think,

nut free,

gluten free, paleo.

- So,

what's in it then?

Is it good?

- So good.

You should,

you should have some.

- I'll stick to ice cream,

thanks.

- What? And let all those dairy cows suffer.

- Yeah. We have to do our part

to make the world a better place.

- Yeah, Ingrid do better.

- Yeah, right. Okay

What about those?

- These, what about them?

- No doubt produced in some

third world sweat shop?

- No

not these.

These cost a bomb.

- You don't know for sure though,

do you?

- She's right, you know.

- What am I gonna do?

Throw 'em out.

- That certainly would make a statement.

- I couldn't agree more.

- Are you guys joking?

- By boycotting sweat shop products

you are sending a message

that you are not afraid to stick

by your principles.

- Seriously?

Ow, slow down guys.

- Guess you now know how those

kids in the third world feel.

- Yeah right.

I've gotta go use the whizz palace,

hold up.

- You know he spent weeks

saving up for those shoes

right?

- So?

- He even did extra jobs on the weekend.

- What's your point?

- He earns every dollar he spends.

- Yeah. And he spends every dollar.

he earns

- Only because he is trying to keep

up with your elitist expectations.

- Excuse me.

- You heard me,

you judge him for every little thing

he does.

What he eats,

what he wears.

Does that seem like ethical behavior to you?

- He makes his own decisions.

I can only make suggestions.

- No, actually you shame and judge him

and not only do you make him feel like crap,

he's now thrown out

a perfectly good pair of shoes.

How's that gonna be good for the environment?

- Have you guys ever noticed

how wet dunny floors are?

- You look like you're really suffering.

- Oh, you've got no idea.

Babe,

give us a quick rub.

What do you reckon?

- No, no, no, no.

- Come on.

- No, get away.

- She doesn't normally refuse.

- Hey, you and me,

we're gonna have a little talk later.

- It's just a joke.

- Do you wanna play a video game?

- Really?

I thought most developers worked crazy hours

and got exploited?

- Are they?

- Sure,

- We should probably give it a miss then.

- I see what you're doing.

- It's not my fault

that everything's either offensive

or exploitative or both.

- It's not my fault

you don't care where your clothes come from.

- Happy?

- Hey,ooh!

- You wanna inspect the rest

of my clothing labels as well?

- No need.

I already made my point.

- Right.

Coming from the girl

who stripped down in the middle

of the school for exactly what reason?

- That was different.

- All I know is your boyfriend sitting here

with blisters on his feet

because you seem to take issue

with every single shoe company

in the entire world.

- Oh babe, just sit down.

Let's play video game.

- We can't it'd violate her principles.

- See you later, Brayden.

- Cheers Ingrid.

- What? She brought it on herself.

- Seriously. These days you have like no chill.

- She must be the most irritating

person I've ever met.

- Yeah, well she's my girlfriend, so -

- So? Doesn't mean I have to bow down

to her and agree

with everything she says.

- Works for me.

- Are you seriously happy

just parroting whatever she says?

- I just can't deal

with all this female testosterone at the minute.

God damn it.

- Honestly,

- Hey, what you got there?

- See if you can guess.

- Hmm. What's this all about?

- I tried to find your old shoes

but someone must have taken them from the bin.

- Wait, you went through a bin?

- Braver than me.

My cousin went through a bin once.

Got bitten by a bin rat.

Almost had to amputate his arm.

Turns out it was just eczema,

but better safe than sorry, right?

- Right.

- So, what changed your mind?

I, I realized that it's not necessarily

the most ethical thing,

to do when you force everyone

to be ethical about everything all the time.

- So meat lover, is pizza back on the menu then?

- Actually, no, I felt great after my last vegitarian meal.

- Really?

- Yeah,

you don't have to go all Vego

just because of me.

- Might even go Vego a couple of times

a week.

It's not cause of you, I want to.

- Good for you.

- Thanks.

- Hey babe, how'd you get on?

- Yeah, not great.

- Really? - It's like

I'm the only queer person at this school.

- Guess you never saw Ed's music video, then.

- Is that meant to be an insult?

- Oh, come on. It's-- it's just a joke.

- Actually, it was pretty offensive.

- Oh, like everything else I say. Whatever.

- [Veronica] Okay, books open, mouths shut.

Saffron, can you sit down?

- You can sit here, if you like.

- [Veronica] Saffron, get back in here!

- Must be another STI. - Shut up.

- Do us all a favor and shut up for once!

- Are you coming back in, or...

- Can't. Sorry.

- Well, it's either come to class

or keep walking all the way to the principal's office.

- Miss, I just don't feel well, okay?

I think I'm gonna be sick. I'm sorry!

- Hey. Pretty weird about Saffron.

- Yeah. She's not been well.

- I saw the way you two looked at each other.

She looked totally freaked out.

- I dunno what you mean.

- No one likes a bully.

- Like I would.

- You seem to get off on it.

- Really?

- Yeah. I know what you did to Ingrid.

You have no idea what's going on between me and Saffron.

- Between?

- You need to come to one of Celeste's meetings!

- I will tear your head off.

- Nah, that's her job.

- Why don't you just tell us what's going on?

- Because you wouldn't understand.

- Oh, hey, yo!

Looks like your girl's got her eyes set on someone else.

- [Celeste] Stop it.

- What did you say?

Yeah, you better listen to your little girlfriend.

- Least I still got one.

- Saffron say something?

- No. Ruby did.

- That was nothing.

- Hey, it's not my fault, all right?

- Stop it.

- What's the deal?

- What?

- Racing out like that.

- Just felt sick.

- Hm. 'Cause I was gonna apologize.

You know, for last night.

- It's okay.

- Nah, it's not. You were right.

Shouldn't be hiding stuff like that from each other.

- Forget about it.

- And we'll pretend like nothing happened?

- Look, I've gotta go.

- Nah, you promised me!

You promised me you'd always be honest.

- Check this out.

- Oh, shut up, Brayden!

- I have been!

- Oh, you have been?

Yeah, how long's it been going on?

- It's not like that.

Ruby's been telling everyone what a skank you are.

She's not wrong.

- Ruby and Saffron?

- Verified.

- Am I living in some parallel universe or something?

She made my life hell.

- It's not uncommon with homophobes.

- But, Ruby.

- Careful. She likes it when you say her name.

Or so I've heard.

- Might have actually just made my week.

- Priceless.

- What are you doing?

- Telling people.

- Why?

- Because it's funny.

- Oh, and you're okay with this?

Two wrongs don't make a right.

- Oh, come on, it's Ruby.

She's probably doing the whole performative lesbian thing

to impress some guy.

- She's right. It is Ruby.

- No, you don't know that.

- I don't actually care.

- What do you think the point of the LGBT Club is?

- Free chips? - [Both] Free chips.

- Just try to be sensitive, okay? She needs us.

- Well, so would anyone who's hooked up with Ruby.

- That's exactly what I mean.

Hey. How are you doing?

I'm really sorry you had to go through that.

- It's all right, mahogany's not for everyone.

- You shouldn't be ashamed. You know, it's your body.

You can be with whoever you like.

- Even if it is Lucifer. It's a joke.

- You've lost your talking privileges. Go away.

- I shouldn't have dragged you into this.

- But you didn't. I can make my own decisions.

So, you and Ruby got something going on?

- Where did you hear that?

- From her.

Oh. Oh, Saf. I'm sorry.

- [Ingrid] You really let Saffron have it.

- Oh?

- She's probably somewhere crying.

- Good.

- And you don't want to go sort it out?

- Why bother? Some things are just messed up.

- You know, it's not very healthy

to keep this stuff bottled up.

- Yeah, you'd know.

Don't worry. I'm not gonna top myself

just because my girlfriend got with someone else.

- Okay. - [Heidi] Oh, come on.

That's good. You know, it didn't make sense to me before,

but I get why Saffron ditched you, now.

- [Celeste] So, Ruby just showed up?

Even after you asked her to leave you alone?

- Yeah. I was getting dressed for bed, it was awkward.

- It's not awkward. It's harassment.

- What?

- Saffron. You had one moment with her

and now for weeks she's pursued you.

How many times have you actually told her no?

- Maybe she's trying to be romantic or something.

- By gate-crashing your date at the golf course?

I remember. I could tell there was something weird going on.

- Well. Shouldn't have advertised what I was doing

on social media.

- You shouldn't have to worry about that.

And then there's your youth group

and then showing up at the doctor's

just when you and Heidi were there,

guaranteeing she'd find out.

- That was a coincidence.

- Was it?

- She sent me flowers after that.

- [Celeste] Did you want her to?

- No.

- Sounds like you've told her no a hell of a lot.

She just isn't getting it.

- What am I supposed to do?

- You gotta tell someone.

- What, and make a huge deal out of it?

- Saffron, it is a huge deal.

She makes it so uncomfortable for you,

you can't even be in class.

- I don't know.

- I can help you. I promise.

It'll be fine. Promise.

Got this, okay?

- Just go to the bathroom and take it off.

- Why should I?

- Because it's an inch thick and you don't want detention.

- Oh, whatever!

- Veronica.

- Make it quick, Celeste.

This isn't about the LGBT Club.

- Then?

Are you feeling better Saffron?

- What? Oh, yep.

- Look girls, I've got soup waiting for me in the microwave,

so-- - Don't tell me

your lunch is more important than this.

- Excuse me?

- You don't have to stay.

- Yeah, I know, but I want to.

- Well, what is it?

- Um. The other day, I...

I-- I left my notebooks on the bus,

so, um, I'll need more time with the assignment. Sorry.

- It's not due 'til Monday.

- Miss, wait.

- [Saffron] That's all!

- Girls. I need to eat.

- What are you doing?

- It didn't feel right.

- Well, then, we'll go talk to her in an office somewhere.

Somewhere quiet.

- I just wanna forget about it.

- And let Ruby get away with it?

What about the next girl? What Ruby did was wrong.

She pressured, and then she stalked you!

- Sorry!

- Saf!

- [Celeste] Reckon she's her next victim?

- [Ingrid] Be careful.

- [Celeste] Why?

- [Ingrid] You weren't there.

- [Celeste] I know exactly what she's been doing.

- [Ingrid] Do you?

Things like this get twisted all the time.

- You're seriously gonna stand there

and defend Ruby harassing Saffron?

- I just dunno if it's your place to intervene.

- You're right. It's actually my responsibility.

We have to stand up to this type of behavior.

- [Brayden] Girl power. She's right.

- [Ingrid] Fine.

- Wouldn't you have wanted someone to intervene

when she made your life a nightmare?

- You said three days, your parents were away,

I think it's perfect.

- I know, but they're really good friends with my neighbors,

I just feel like they'd tell.

- Well, we'll be really quiet.

- No. No, seriously, I can't.

- Come on, it'll be so fun. - Surprise, surprise,

you don't know how to take no for an answer.

- What are you going on about now?

- Saffron.

- What about her?

- You know.

- I really don't.

- Just let me talk to you in private.

- Get out of my face.

- That's rich.

- No, seriously. You're really starting

to get on my nerves. - Ohh, it's not nice, is it?

Being harassed?

- Excuse me?

- It's what you've been doing to Saffron.

- You're crazy.

- So what do you call showing up at someone's house

late at night?

- A booty call.

- Could do without the mansplains.

- Oh, here we go.

- I am not going to apologize for caring.

- And I'm not in the mood for another crusade!

This is ridiculous! - Is this a joke to you?

- Not even your darrow boyfriend wants to listen to you.

Pretty pathetic.

- Hey, Saf!

- Look. She's absolutely terrified of you.

- Is this the way it's gonna be then?

You'll say anything to keep her happy?

- Just let me fix this.

- Just don't. Please.

- Thought so! You're all a bunch of psycho snowflakes.

- You lot just don't quit, do you?

- It's true, then?

- No.

- [Ingrid] I don't mean the harassment or whatever.

- Never happened.

- Something did though, didn't it?

- It's funny, is it?

- I just think it's weird, how the universe works sometimes.

- I'm not gay!

- [Ingrid] Never said you were.

And honestly that's your business.

- So what, why are you here then?

- [Ingrid] I just get what it's like, that's all.

- Lucky me.

- [Ingrid] Oh, you don't have to lash out.

- I'm not!

- Look, you're lucky. At least you got the girl.

Even if only for five minutes.

- Excuse me while I go to throw up.

- [Ingrid] You can't help who you like.

- Yeah. Or who you hate.

- Look at her. So smug.

- Coming from you?

- She doesn't deserve to be the captain.

- Oh, like it matters!

- She's supposed to be

a role model for the younger students!

- [Ingrid] So?

- So all it takes for evil to prevail

is for good people to do nothing!

- Well then, put it back!

- Why are you defending her?

- You're just making things worse!

- [Celeste] Ingrid! - [Ingrid] Stop!

- Explain to me why you feel the need

to deface school property.

- I wasn't.

- I kind of caught you red handed, didn't I?

- Actually, it was my doing, Miss.

I was trying-- - Shut up.

- To raise awareness.

- Oh, go on. this will be good.

- Shut up! - I will not

be silenced by you!

- That is enough! That's a week's detention

for the both of you.

- But, Miss!

- Starting tonight.

- Miss, I have the LGBT Club!

- Shut up. Thanks a lot!

- Miss!

- I've got to go and deal with something.

Don't go anywhere.

- Are you happy now?

- We wouldn't be here if you'd told Veronica the truth.

- I was doing Saffron a favor.

I'm sorry you couldn't see that.

- You just love to brush things under the carpet, don't you?

- Are you just saying that

because I'm not turning this

into some kind of personal quest?

- Do you care about anything?

- Yes, obviously.

- Just not LGBT rights.

- Are you serious?

What, just because I didn't come to your protest?

- And the club.

- What, I'm not allowed to miss a couple meetings?

- Well you're missing all of them lately.

- You're always talking about diversity,

respect, and tolerance.

- Yeah, 'cause they're important issues.

- Who do you respect? Not me, not Saffron,

and certainly not Brayden.

- I respect people who deserve it.

- You can't even listen

to someone who has a different opinion to you.

That's not tolerance.

Diversity isn't just about having a different skin color,

it's about having different attitudes, too.

Not everyone's gonna think the same as you

and they never will! Do you have any friends?

- Do you think Veronica's coming back?

Celeste.

- Probably, yeah.

- Are you upset about what I said?

- Why would I be? You just sound like everyone else.

- I didn't mean to--

- Yeah, you did. You meant everything you said.

- I mean, it kind of proves my point, though, right?

You can dish it, but you can't take it.

- Wow.

- Okay, that sounded harsher than I meant it to.

- Ever since I got here, all I've tried to do is help you.

- Me?

- The queer community.

- But no one asked you to.

- They didn't have to!

If I seem angry, or speak up, it's because I am angry.

Look at everything you had to deal with.

From Ruby, and your family. That's not right.

- Yeah, but that's my problem.

- But it shouldn't be!

You shouldn't have to suffer on your own.

That's why we need to stick together.

- [Ingrid] Us queer girls?

- Exactly. Push back against oppression,

and misogyny, and harassment.

Don't let girls be pressured!

- Shame you didn't move here six months ago.

- Yeah, well. I still had friends then.

- Is that really it?

- No one talked to me.

I fell for the wrong girl, and that was it.

Outcast. Othered.

- I'm really sorry that happened to you.

- We want the same things, don't we?

- And what's that?

- To be ourselves. To be free.

Without worrying what people think

or what people are going to do.

- I guess.

- I really thought I could do it on my own.

But I just can't.

- [Ingrid] Hey.

- It's too hard.

It's all right.

- Come here.

- It's okay.

- I wish I was more like you.

- (Celeste laughing) Shut up.

- No, really. If I just had 5% - Stop it,

- of the courage you have. - Shut up.

You're beautiful as you are.

(soft music playing)

(Celeste screams)

- Brayden, how many times do I have to tell you

not to do that?

- Just calm down, I'm sorry.

And I'm sorry about the other day as well.

- Why?

What makes you say that? - I don't know,

all that stuff about Ruby

just sounds a bit suss to be honest.

- Huh, took you long enough.

- Look, what can I say?

I'm a bit slow on the uptakes sometimes.

But just say I'm forgiven.

Say I'm forgiven!

Say I'm forgiven-- - Okay, okay.

You're forgiven. - Say it.

(lips smooching)

Ingrid, hey.

- Uh hey, if you wanted to really like, make it up to me,

can you get me a drink from the vending machine?

- I've got water in my bag, cheap--

- Yes, that's good Brayden, but also I need some caffeine.

- Don't worry about it, I'll get you one.

- But I haven't even, you know

had the chance to say hello or chat to you about it.

- I don't mind.

You've got your hands full.

- Geez babe, what did you do to get in her good books, eh?

- Hey, Ingrid.

- We should probably stay away from each other.

Don't you reckon?

- Definitely.

I just wanted to make sure you were okay with that.

- I just can't trust the two of you's at all, can I?

- What?

- Whispering?

Come on, spill the beans.

- What are you talking about?

- It's about Heidi, isn't it?

- Why?

- You know it.

- I don't know anything.

- What do you two think you're doing?

- It's our break.

- Not when there's a room full of books

that need organizing.

- She has no right to make us do this.

It's slave labor.

- It's called punishment for a reason.

- I guess it's not so bad.

I'm stuck here with you, so.

- It's probably best to just do what she says

and get on with it in silence.

- Sure.

Unbelievable that they make us study this rubbish,

brainwashing us with patriarchal nonsense.

- Can we please just get this over and done with?

- Have you been doing those by author?

- Isn't that the general idea?

- No, you're supposed to do them alphabetically.

- Whatever.

- How could you make such a stupid mistake?

- Good question.

Just leave it, maybe Veronica won't even notice.

- You're not meant to--

- Get off!

- Just give it to me!

- Oh, how'd I know you two would be in the closet?

- Did you want something?

- Yeah, could we have a couple of minutes?

- We have to finish this.

- Oh, that's so lame.

Pfft, all right.

Well, don't do anything I wouldn't do then.

- Like read?

- Yeah.

You know what?

This place is perfect for a sneaky little sesh.

- Just imagine being stuck under one roof in Juvie,

a hundred girls sharing, eating, sleeping together.

- Yeah.

- Pretty cool necklace, hey, pretty shmeek.

- Do you know what it means?

- Yeah, of course.

Yin, yang, that type of stuff, huh.

- And?

- And black white circles.

- It was Ingrid, wasn't it?

She picked it out.

- Yeah, but I paid for it.

- It's the thought that counts Brayden.

- Yeah, but I asked her opinion, and--

- So this whole time you have been lying to me.

- I was just trying to be romantic.

- Yeah.

Yeah, I should have known.

- Later, yeah?

- Where's your girlfriend?

- Detention, where's yours?

- Lydia is, we're more casual.

You know, she's not really the clingy type.

- What about the muso, though?

- Oh.

- Two chicks on the go though.

You should be rapt.

- Yeah.

- You know what your problem is?

- Go on then, this will be good.

- You're going out

and you're trying to have too many flings.

You need to go out and find the one.

- Oh, and I suppose you've done just that.

- Shut up.

You would love to get into Celeste's pants if you could.

- I think the relationships require a little bit more

than just physical attraction.

- Yeah, I know.

- Are you in love?

- No.

- Oh my God, congratulations.

When is the wedding?

- No, no, no.

Never, never happening.

- Oh, I'll be sure to tell her that.

- No, don't, do not tell her.

- Brayden, you're in love!

- Get off!

Alright, God, you're so annoying.

- Hey, I'm glad.

It shows that there really is someone

out there for everyone.

- You don't want to fix us up some snacks, do you?

- Hey, I was just wanting to try and clear the air.

- Okay, go for it.

- Right, well obviously something really weird

happened between us the other day.

And I think we're both mature enough to talk about it.

- I couldn't agree with you more.

- Great.

So firstly, Brayden can never find out about this.

- Agreed.

- And secondly, us, you and me, a nightmare.

Because you're all like this and I'm more chill.

And you are more confident and out and I'm more like--

- Did you pick this out?

- Brayden got you that.

- Yeah, but you chose it, didn't you?

- Yeah, so?

- So every time he has said something offensive

or immature or both, I could at least think gee,

underneath all that,

there is actually a sensitive person there.

- He is sensitive.

- But he doesn't get me.

He never did get me.

I get the feeling that every beautiful thing he's ever done

is because you told him to.

- That's between you guys.

- Admit it.

Ever since you and me first met,

there's been this thing between us

because you annoy the life out of me.

- The feeling is mutual.

We're very different people.

- Yin and yang, maybe.

- Stop.

(soft music)

(door creaking)

(upbeat music)

(grass rustles)

- It's probably just a bird or something.

- Do you know that for a fact?

People hang out in these woods, you know?

- Maybe it was a yowie.

- If only they were real.

- Brayden seems to think so.

He will literally believe anything you tell him.

- Yeah.

- Don't worry about him.

- How can I not?

He's still your boyfriend.

- He's my soon to be ex.

- And I'm supposed to be his friend.

- He will forgive you.

- I wouldn't.

- Okay.

Things didn't work out between me and Brayden.

So, now I'm allowed to go out and see other people.

- Okay, but that's not really how it happened, is it?

- Yes.

- Are you going to mention the overlap?

- Are you?

Look, I promise it will be fine, okay?

I'll sit him down.

I'll look him in the eye and I'll spell it out for him.

- Okay, but please just be tactful about it, though.

Seriously.

- When am I not?

(Ingrid scoffs)

Hmm?

- Oh, steady on.

Haven't finished my breaky yet.

- Sit.

- I'm down if you are.

- That's not why we're here, no.

- Are you sure? You sure, you sure-

- Stop. Why do you have to have

such a one tracked mind?

- It's your beauty, the pecker's powerless to resist.

Oh, what have I done now?

- A lot of things?

You've got to stop having a go at me.

- Doesn't that make you think then?

Like whether, am I supposed to be, you know?

- Of course we are.

Look at Heidi and Saffron.

- Oh, it was a great example.

A psycho and her doormat.

- Is it, You know.

- What?

- That time of the month?

- No!

- 'Cause if it is, that's fine.

You know, I understand why

you haven't wanted to do the other stuff.

But it doesn't mean we can't do something else.

- Let me just try and make this really simple for you.

I don't think we should be together anymore.

- And I just think you're having a bad day.

- Oh my God, are you listening to anything that I'm saying?

- Whoa, whoa, chill, chill, chill.

- I just think we should be friends.

- Friends? What?

- You're dumped.

(toast hits wall)

(chair hitting the ground)

- Brayden, what are you doing?

- Redecorating.

- I'm sure the school preferred it

the way they had it before. - I don't care!

- You obviously care about something.

- You're right.

How much do you reckon these cost?

- Can you just relax and breathe and count to three?

It'll help.

- One , two, three.

- Not like that.

- Look, if I wanted a lecture, I would've gone to Celeste.

Oh, wait.

- What'd she say to you?

- Just stuff.

Did you know she was gonna do it?

- Do what?

- Rip my heart out, take a massive dump on it!

- She broke up with you.

- Oh geez, you know Ingrid, you catch on quick.

- Did she give you a reason?

- Just that I don't listen or something, I don't know.

- I don't know, maybe she'll change her mind.

- What, you reckon?

- Not if you're like this.

- You're right.

- Probably say that's toxic masculinity or something.

- I'm really sorry this happened.

- Don't be sorry, it's not your fault.

- If there's anything I can do to change it I would.

- Could you talk to her?

- Yeah, of course.

- He fully trashed the place.

- Very mature.

- He couldn't help it, you broke his heart.

- Huh? So what was I supposed to do?

Stay with him so he wouldn't have a tantrum?

- You could have been a little bit more compassionate.

- That is so rich coming from you.

- Excuse me?

- You haven't asked how I'm feeling.

- I know how you're feeling.

- So you just don't care.

- No. You don't care.

I told you I don't wanna be that person.

- I've got news for you babe, you are that person.

- I wish none of this ever happened.

- But it did, because you wanted it to.

- It's my choice.

- That's you all over, isn't it?

Living your entire life as a lie.

You haven't even come outta the closet yet.

- You know my parents will never understand.

- Yeah. Yeah, your parents and Brayden.

when are you gonna start living your life for you? Huh?

- Now you're being absolutely ridiculous.

- No, I'm not.

Seriously.

I want to make you happy because you make me happy.

- I'm not happy now.

- I'm sorry.

- If you care about me at all, you'll let all of this go.

- Alright.

- Just like that.

It's gone.

Poof.

- Yep.

Think about what I said please.

(crow caws)

- Oh sorry, I was looking for somewhere quiet.

- (chuckles) I mean, I was gonna say you're a bit early

- For?

- For the LGBTQIA plus club, the big vote.

- Right, yep.

- Did you read the newsletter?

- Um no, I've been having issues with my email.

- Hmm, a lot of people have said that actually.

Anyway while you're here,

could you stick these ones around for me, please?

- Are we allowed?

- Of course, we're now an official school club.

We even have space like on the notice board and everything.

- Sounds like you've got it all figured out.

- Yeah, well, the vote's today at lunch.

- [Ingrid] Cool.

- [Celeste] It's no pressure.

- [Ingrid] Do you have many takers?

- I hope so, I mean we have to elect a president, so.

- Right, but can't that just be you?

- I mean, I'm running obviously,

but I have to be elected because democracy is important.

- Who else even is there?

- Oliver Charlton, he's in year 11.

- He is gay?

- You can ask him that yourself.

- Right, well, I don't suppose

your club co-founder is gonna show up.

- Well, I mean, he barely wanted

to be a part of it from the start,

so I don't think he's gonna be a part of it now.

- Probably for the best.

- How is he, you know, like coping?

- He's good.

(somber music)

- What's up, weirdos?

Didn't miss the vote, did I?

(somber music continues)

(faint student chatter)

No way, did you make this?

- I did.

- Hmm, it's colorful, you know.

Rainbows are in at the moment, I guess.

- Why are you here?

- To a vote, it's the presidential thing, isn't it?

- You know it is.

- Thanks to your email newsletter.

I told you that was a good idea.

- (sighs) This isn't a joke,

people actually rely on this club.

- Hey, I'm here for Ingers.

- [Ingrid] Don't call me that.

- This isn't gonna work.

- Get a load of your ego, all right?

The whole world doesn't revolve around you.

- I never said it did.

- All right, then listen to what I'm saying,

all that ally stuff that you used to yammer on about,

it's finally sunk in.

- I really hope you're telling the truth.

- Swear on Bogger's grave, just say the word and I'll do it.

(faint student chatter)

(Pixie chuckles)

- Are we in the right place?

- Apparently.

- [Celeste] Shall we wait for more people?

Like anyone seen Oliver or Sebastian?

- Probably behind the bike sheds.

- Gross.

- Sorry, couldn't get Heidi to come.

- I'll show you a thing or two if you want.

- Oh, can we get this over with?

- Yes right, welcome to the LGBTQIA Club.

I would like everyone here

to feel super safe in this environment,

that they're welcome to be themselves

and that they can sort of talk freely.

- Sorry, I'm with Ingrid, let's vote.

- Yeah, we've already got your email.

- [Ingrid] Emails.

- I thought they were pretty insightful.

- Cool, all right, well, we need to elect a president.

Excuse me. - Why do we need one?

- So the school has someone to blame

if we trash the classroom.

- It's also to help with organizing school events.

- Right, so you just want us

to write your name on this then?

- You know what Pixie?

You can vote for whoever you want.

- So who else is running?

- What a joke.

- I nominate Pixie.

- I nominate you.

- Yeah, I second that.

- [Saffron] Thirded. - What?

- [Pixie] Is that a thing?

- You gotta do a speech, mate.

- I haven't done my speech.

- [Students] Speech, speech, speech, speech, speech!

Speech, speech, speech, speech, speech!

Speech, speech, speech, speech, speech!

(girls laughing)

- If I'm elected president,

I will get more flavors of free chips.

Um, no, not just, not just plain, you know,

I'll get original.

No, no, that's plain.

Salt and vinegar, chicken, light and tangy.

So it's like, you know, a diverse thing, it's colorful.

And it'll be on the school's dime too-

- Okay, thank you. - I'm not done yet.

I'll get us free movie tickets to LGBT movies.

I'll get us in a room with working Air Con,

and I'll push for free dress

'cause we deserve to be able to express ourselves.

- Had me at chips.

- You know, none of that's actually possible.

- Not if you're president.

- Brayden doesn't know the first thing about this club.

What does the I stand for?

- Huh?

- In LGBTQIA, what does the I stand for?

- Intersex?

- You did not know that.

- Hey, if anyone's into sex, it's me.

- Oh my God. - Oh God (chuckles).

- Can you take this seriously, please?

- I am, okay.

I don't care who you are or where you come from,

you could be a Q and A, you know,

and equestrian like Saffron, I don't care.

- That's people who are into horses.

- [Brayden] Oh look, I'm not judging her.

- Riding horses.

(somber music)

- All right, so the first vote is for Celeste,

and one more for Celeste.

- Good job, babe.

- I'd correct, you're on your misogynistic language,

but what's the point?

- Next vote is for Peter Dutton.

- Yeah, he's in year 12, I think.

- What (chuckles)?

- All right, and we have one going towards Brayden.

- I had to, sorry.

- I thought you were kidding.

(somber music)

- And another one for Brayden.

- Wait, did you both actually vote for me?

- Yes, I didn't want you to feel bad.

- Oh crap.

- All right, so that's two each.

And the last vote is also going to Brayden.

- What?

- I didn't know they were gonna vote for me.

- (laughs) I love it, congratulations.

- No, no, no, recount, recount.

- What do you mean?

There's like five votes.

- Yeah but you suck at math!

- I'm not that bad.

- Hey, I'm so sorry.

- You're all happy with this?

- Democracy's a biatch.

- (chuckles) Well, what you were saying before that,

that was just an act, right?

You're not, you're not really that ignorant?

- I'm president of the LGBT Club.

- Right, well, do you wanna take your photo now or later?

(gentle music)

- You've gotta admit, it was pretty amusing.

- Yeah, wrecking the club, hilarious.

- He wouldn't do that.

- Maybe not on purpose, maybe.

- He did stay back to make a calendar of events,

that's gotta mean something, right?

- Yeah, cinema, great.

Good luck trying to find a queer action movie, mate.

- I think you're selling him short.

- He's never seen a queer film in his life.

- Really, because I've seen his browser history.

- Lesbian porn doesn't count.

- Celeste, I don't think he'd be trying so hard

if you didn't cut him off.

- You think we should still be friends?

- We still are.

- That's different.

- And I know what it's like

to lose someone you really care about.

- I mean, I guess it wouldn't hurt

if like we still texted.

- Yeah, and it would probably be a good way

to convince him to step down.

(suspenseful music)

What are you looking for?

- I was gonna send him a text and say, "Hey,"

but like I can't find my phone.

- Do you think you dropped it?

- Maybe I left it in the classroom.

Do you think he's still at school doing club stuff?

- Yeah, I think so.

- [Celeste] Okay.

- Do you want me to text him?

- No, he knows my PIN.

- What, do you want me to come?

- It's okay.

(somber music)

- What's that?

- Just some ideas, you know, for the club.

- You are taking this seriously?

- You sound surprised (chuckles)?

- Yeah, isn't everything one big joke to you?

- Yeah, seemed that way recently.

- Well, it's fine if you're genuine.

- I was.

- You haven't seen my phone, have you?

- No.

- Would you mind giving it a ring?

- I'll take it I'm not blocked, then.

- I would never do that.

- [Brayden] Never know what some people are gonna do.

(phone vibrating)

- You are a legend, thank you.

- Hey, can I ask you something?

- If you want.

- Do you reckon people will like foreign movies?

- Yes, we can read.

I mean, most of us can.

- Blue Hair Chick film it is then.

(somber music)

- Well, don't stay too late.

- I can't, I'm, I'm almost done.

I'm meeting someone.

- Cool.

And I, I know I didn't say it before,

but congratulations, really.

- (chuckles) Just don't make me wear that sash again.

- I can't promise that.

(somber music)

- Skank.

- [Ingrid] Where are you taking me?

- [Celeste] Shush, we're almost there.

Here.

- What if we get caught?

- Do you see anyone here?

- Doesn't mean people can't see us.

- Yo, spy satellite.

This is Ingrid, she is my girlfriend.

- What are you saying?

- It was just a joke.

- Can you not minimize this please?

- I didn't mean to make fun.

- Yeah, agree to disagree.

- If you don't want me to tease you, I won't.

- I thought you said you were cool with keeping things--

- A secret?

I am.

I mean, like if that's what it takes.

(Ingrid sighing)

- I'm such a downer.

- You're allowed to be.

You've been through a lot.

- You're not supposed to agree.

- Sorry.

- No, I'm sorry.

I'm doing it again.

- [Celeste] Doing what?

- Complaining.

- Complaining is what makes the world better.

Why do you even like me?

- Hmm?

You're sensitive, and you're thoughtful,

and you're kind.

- Kind?

- Let me finish.

You're beautiful, and you are special,

and you challenge me.

I like that.

- Even though we fight all the time?

- I prefer to call them spirited debates.

Come on.

Do we have to have another one?

- I'm just worried about the satellites.

- Yeah, and 5G?

- Yeah, all of the above.

- [Celeste] All of the above?

- What's on tonight?

- Like that's any of your business.

- Come on, don't be like that.

I just wanna be friends, yeah?

- Very mature.

No, really it is.

- Well, I'm having a gath,

so come around, yeah?

- Isn't that gonna be a bit awkward?

- Not for me, heaps of people are coming.

Saffron, Ingrid.

- Ingrid's going?

- Yeah.

You two are like besties, aren't you?

- Yeah, I suppose.

Did she actually say yes?

- Well, I mean,

she's always complaining how she's got no mates,

bit of a loser on that front.

Poor social skills and whatnot.

- Maybe you don't know her as well as you think you do.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Lots of people actually like Ingrid.

- Whatever.

Just come and get to hang out with some absolute legends.

Come on, I can't babysit her by myself all night.

- Okay, fine.

- Sweet, see you there then.

- Not inside, mate.

Mum's got the nose of a drug dog.

- Unlucky.

For him.

- What are you even doing here?

- Hey, what happened to Mr. Inclusive President?

- He knocks off at four.

- I knew I can count on you two.

- What?

- You came.

- Are you doing the music?

- Yes, my gath mix.

What, you don't like it?

- Are you trying to repel people?

- No, I've been doing that a bit recently.

- [Ingrid] You all right?

- Oh yeah, stoked.

A few hotties here, so.

- Yeah, so you have your eye on anyone in particular?

What about that Kaylee?

- No, got my eyes on someone else.

- Here you are.

I was wondering where you were.

- It's kind of rowdy out there.

- [Brayden] Where's your partner in crime?

- Who?

- Celeste.

- She isn't.

- Oh okay, whatever.

- Last time I saw her,

she was giving a couple of guys a lecture on veganism.

- Yeah, she does that.

- Each to their own, I guess.

- You know, the more I think about it,

we were just, you know,

the craziest couple, weren't we?

- I guess it's good that you're realizing that now.

- Hmm.

Isn't she just the most annoying person?

- She has good intentions.

- Well, could have dodged a bullet.

- Don't obsess over it.

- Probably should have listened to you too.

- Well, you never listen to me.

- Well, you know,

just wanna say thank you for being a good mate.

- Don't mention it.

- Can't take a compliment, can you?

- If I think it's deserved.

- This isn't?

- What do you mean?

- Nothing.

Go, party,

mingle, have fun.

- Okay.

- And that's the thing.

Like, if we abolished police and prisons,

we would actually all be safer.

- Yeah, but where would you put the criminals?

- There wouldn't be any,

because all the systemic yada yada about,

like regarding drugs, and addiction,

and all of that would just be

fixed through community programs.

Right?

- Yeah.

- Hey, I need to talk to you.

Can you come with me?

- Sure, yeah.

Excuse me!

- Can we go?

- Why?

I was just trying to,

I was just making progress with Astrid.

She really needs waking up, you know?

- Celeste, please.

- [Celeste] What happened?

- I just got the biggest guilt trip ever.

- From who?

- Who do you think?

He's telling me that I'm his best friend

in his entire life and all this stuff.

- Come on.

He's probably just a little bit drunk, just relax.

- How can I relax?

- Do you think he knows?

Are you sure?

- Well, if he doesn't,

it was like a really out of pocket thing to say.

- All right, hold this.

- [Ingrid] What, where are you going?

- I'm gonna go talk to him.

- No, you can't,

because what if I'm wrong?

- I'm sorry, but if he is doing this on purpose,

trying to mess with you,

that has to stop.

- [Ingrid] Oh my God.

- [Brayden] Oh, been a while sine we've done this.

- What did you say to Ingrid?

- Why?

- Just answer the question.

- Hey, you don't own me anymore.

- She says you're being weird.

- No?

- Bray, if there's something

you need to get off your chest like--

- I guess my top's out of the question, huh?

Look, I don't get it.

What's wrong with telling Ingrid she's been a good mate?

- Bray!

- Look, she's probably just being sensitive.

Do you want me to talk to her?

- No, no.

I'll deal with it.

- Because she's been through a lot,

and you know I said that as her mate.

- Yeah, I know.

She has been through a lot.

- I know, tons!

It's amazing really how all that

stuff has happened to just her.

- Are you being serious?

- [Brayden] Of course.

- You are in such a weird mood.

- Probably just the booze, you know?

No one to keep tabs on me.

- Yeah, you can make your own decisions.

- [Brayden] So can you.

- Just make them good ones, okay?

- Priceless coming from you.

- [Celeste] I meant in a good way.

- What, like going for your ex's best mate?

- What are you talking about?

- I was wondering, would that be a fair game or?

- Sit, we need to talk--

- No, how about you suck it.

- Brayden!

- I guess it's too much for you

to handle this like an adult.

- You can never do anything wrong, can you?

You are always right!

- What happened between me and Ingrid,

it's none of your business.

- What did happen, go on?

You, and you're just gonna stand there?

- Can we not?

- Oh sorry, am I being a bit too loud?

- Just calm down.

- And you're one to talk.

You stand there like a scared little goat most of the time.

- Oh, I can't do this.

- Oh, hell no.

You just walk away like you do from all your problems.

Gonna blame this one on your mental health too?

- Hey, you are so outta line!

- I'm not the one who--

- Cheated?

(yells) I cheated everybody!

- (yells) Yes, you are.

You're a cheater!

All you do is walk around school telling people how to act.

The truth is you are the biggest piece of--

- Hey, she must have had her reasons.

- And you,

trying to act like my mate who's trying to get in her pants.

Now I know why people say don't trust the Chinese.

(Brayden grunting)

(tense music)

Everyone out.

(screams) Out!

What you looking at?

Go!

(emotional music)

She's not here.

- Right?

- What are you waiting for?

- It doesn't have to be like this.

- Yeah, you're right.

I'm stoked.

I couldn't be happier for you two.

- I'd think more of you if you meant that.

- I'd think more of you if you weren't a liar.

- Okay, fair.

But do you wanna know why?

Ingrid's absolutely terrified of--

- Just spare me.

All right?

- No, you need to hear this!

When we were going out,

she begged me time, and time,

and time again to stay with you.

And I did.

Just to give you another shot.

And every time I did that, you found a way to screw it up.

- What's that thing that you're always on about,

victim blaming?

- Brayden, I wasn't happy.

- You were,

just, you know,

with her.

- We didn't mean to do it deliberately or to upset you.

- Do you want a medal, Celeste?

- I want you to stop acting like a baby.

You wanna know why I ended up with someone else?

'Cause of this.

(emotional music)

(students chattering) (bell rings)

- [Ingrid] What the hell? (bag thumps)

- [Pixie] Oh, someone does not like you.

- Yeah, thank you.

- [Pixie] Do you want a hand?

- No, it's fine. I've got it.

- [Pixie] Okay, stress head.

(Ingrid sighs)

(Ingrid scoffs)

- So you're seen that my locker's been trashed?

- Yeah, bummer.

- Did you see who did it?

- (tuts) Don't think so.

But then again, I don't notice half the things

that go on under my nose.

(students laughing)

- Do you want to talk? - To you?

- So what, you're just gonna keep messing with me

and trashing my stuff?

- [Brayden] Probably.

- Why?

- (sighs) Because I feel like it. It makes me happy.

- [Ingrid] Brayden, I- - No. Ingrid, stop.

You're a dog. I finally get why no one likes you.

- [Ingrid] (sighs) What?

- [Celeste] What happened?

- Nothing.

- Three guesses who's responsible?

- I don't know, like Year 8s pulling a prank or something?

- Year 8s. Really? (lockers clanging)

- Celeste, it's okay. Just don't worry about it.

- Pretty far from okay, if you ask me.

(papers rustling)

- You know, technically this is assault.

- Oh yeah? And what do you call what you did to Ingrid?

- Uh, payback? - Pretty mature.

- Oh, wow. Thank you.

I feel so enlightened.

- This is not like the Brayden that I knew.

- [Brayden] Well I guess we didn't know each other

as well as we thought we did.

- He was sweet, and he was sensitive,

and he said and he did some really dumb stuff,

but he never, ever set out to hurt somebody!

We could have been something.

- We were something! - [Celeste] So what happened?

- You tell me! - No to you, Brayden, to you!

- How are you seriously gonna turn this round on me?

How manipulative can you be?

- I'm not!

- Are you serious? You're a control freak!

The second that someone does something that you don't like,

you get all up in arms about it.

- You know what, you're entitled

to your own opinion right now.

- Oh, thank you. I'm so happy that I'm entitled

to my own opinion.

- If you're gonna behave like a baby,

I'm not having this- - Give me the necklace.

Go on, give it back.

- [Celeste] It was a gift.

- I don't care, that was then. Give it back.

- (scoffs) Okay.

You can go and buy all the video games that you want.

- Well, yeah, maybe I will. - You are so pathetic.

(door thumps)

(melancholy music)

(Ingrid sobbing)

(melancholy music continues)

(Ingrid continues sobbing)

- [Celeste] Thanks for letting me in.

- You couldn't just text me, you know, like a normal person?

- [Celeste] So I wanted to talk to you in person.

- Well, I'm finishing my game, so...

(video game chiming)

- [Celeste] Have you gotten any better?

'Cause I kinda miss thrashing you.

- Does this have a point?

- Um.

Well I wanted to talk to you about,

you know, everything that's happened

and I realized that I didn't properly apologize to you.

So. (poignant music)

I wanted to say that I was sorry.

(video game guns firing)

- Cool.

- Can we actually have a conversation please?

- What's the point?

- So we can fix this?

- I didn't think that's what you wanted.

(video game chimes)

- I don't want you to lose a friend over this.

- Ingrid made her choice.

- Yeah, well, she's making another one.

She's leaving.

- To go where?

- To go stay with some auntie up the coast.

- Good.

She's, you know, always liked the ocean.

- She's leaving because of what you did to her today.

- So you're here to chew me out?

You couldn't give a toss about me.

You just want me to go and tell Ingrid

that everything's gonna be okay.

- Nothing I ever said to you went in, did it?

- Geez, there was so much of it. Could you be more specific?

- About how you should be a kind

and respectful person to other people.

- You really are trying

to win hypocrite of the year award, aren't you?

- I mean, if you ever cared about Ingrid,

you'd go and talk to her.

- Well, yeah. She'll be waiting a while.

(video game chimes) (video game guns firing)

- How can you say that?

You know what she's going through. She's got depression.

- Just shut the door on your way out.

- Well I hope you can live with yourself.

(poignant music builds)

- [Celeste] Beautiful day.

- Not in my house.

- Your parents still giving you grief?

- Just Dad.

Mum's being really supportive.

Going to Aunt Helen's house was her idea.

- So what's his problem?

- Doesn't want me take any time off school,

thinks study is more important

than mental health apparently.

- Wait, so...

How, how long are you going for?

A week? A month?

- I don't know. As long as it takes?

- Okay.

- I'm really sorry.

I should have explained it better yesterday.

- Can't you just like wait for things to settle down?

- Look, when I took the pills,

I didn't wanna come back, like, at all.

And Mum agreed.

She thought a fresh start would be really good for me,

like away from bad influences.

- Is that what I am?

- No, if anything you're the reason I stayed

as long as I did.

- I guess that's something.

- You and Brayden.

- I mean, if this is something that you need to do,

then yeah, go and do it.

Put yourself first.

- It's kind of what I've been trying to do this whole time

and it hasn't really worked out for me.

- We can still see each other, though.

Unless you don't want to?

- (sighs) Is it supposed to be this hard?

- Nothing's ever perfect, but you can't give up on us.

- You see, this is what I'm talking about.

You're always trying to push me out of my comfort zone.

- [Celeste] Isn't that a good thing?

- Except I kind of want comfort right now.

Like a comfort zone sounds really good to me.

- Are you still taking all your medications?

- Yes, Celeste.

I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand.

- 'Cause I know what we've got, Ingrid.

- Yeah, and until I figure out what's going on with me,

I really can't.

I can't do this.

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pressure you.

- [Ingrid] Yes, yes, you did. (melancholy music)

- But we can still talk on the phone, though.

- (sighs) Look, I've got to head off.

Mum wants to get on the road before lunch.

- Ingrid, Ingrid, wait. - I've really got to go.

- Stop!

(melancholy music continues) (birds chirping)

This isn't the end, okay? It's not.

- Thank you for everything.

(gentle piano music)

(piano music intensifies)

Are you lost? - No.

- You know my parents are home.

- Obviously.

- You haven't said anything to them, have you?

- Yeah, I mean I've been filling them in

about all your little shenanigans.

- You're being serious?

- I could.

(melancholy music)

- Is that what you came here to do, threaten me?

(melancholy music continues)

- You're really going, aren't ya?

'Cause of me?

(melancholy music intensifies)

- No.

- Good.

- Brayden, you know, I never meant for

all of it to happen like this.

And... (poignant music)

- Just

get better, okay?

(poignant music)

(Ingrid sighs)

(warm music)
