That is... THEY LAUGH

Johnny?

All right? Yeah.

Yeah, I'm cool. Like, totally cool.

And we're cool.

Y'know...after Friday.

Listen, I'm glad we're on the same page.

So, friends, yeah?

Yeah. Yeah.

So no need for those, then.

Um... Look, these ain't for ya.

Oh, no, I know. I was joking.

Right. Right.

Good catching up. OK.

Hi.

Ta-da!

Whose grave did those come off?

Ooh! She put one right on the chin.

Ladies and gentleman, Johnny and Kayla!

No, sorry, just me.

Alone on stage.

I'm sorry. I just lost track of time.

I dunno. Maybe I bottled it on purpose.

I'm gonna make it up to you on the school trip

POSH VOICE: to the Bronte Parsonage.

SHE GIGGLES

That's Naylah's bag.

Dad gave it to her for her birthday.

What are you doing, you freak?

That is Naylah's. It's mine!

Go on Kayla. Go on Kayla! OTHERS EGG ON

Give it back! OTHERS: Ooh!

Is that what I think it is?

Oh. My. God.

It's weed.

It must have been hidden in the lining.

Excuse me, coming through. Quick, put it away. Mr Evershed.

Girls, what's happening?

What do you think you're doing bringing that into school?

Well, it's not mine. There's tonnes of the stuff in there. It stinks.

It must be your drug-dealing dad's.

No. Dad packed that in years ago.

Whatever. Look, we need to get that bag back ASAP or we are in deep...

Shh.

In silence, please.

Fighting in the corridors over a bag?

Girls, come on...

Sir, just with our mum being away

and our auntie being sick with cancer,

it's just a really challenging time...

You've been in here more times than I can count.

And Kayla?

I am so disappointed.

I'm seriously considering pulling you off the school trip.

Wait, um...

You both know that this bag

does not comply with school uniform.

I don't even think this bag complies with fashion.

Sir, you're right. It's so ugly.

Give us it back and I'll stick it on eBay.

It goes without saying that I will be confiscating this.

And fighting like that is completely unacceptable.

Do I make myself clear?

Do you want to get yourself excluded?

Cos I am sick and tired of older students... Dear Allah, Jesus,

Maya Jama,

I need divine lntervention, like NOW.

Being good all this time has to have its perks.

ALARM SHRILLS A fire drill!

That's all I need! Brilliant.

Line up in your form queues.

We'll talk about this later. Come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

Oi, still blanking me?

What do you think Pinocchio?

Wrong direction, Tahir.

I'm facing Mecca, sir.

And I'm the Queen of Sheba. Turn around.

Good boy. Thank you.

Hand.

Oh, my God. How did you...

Still not speaking to you,

but I couldn't let you get expelled cos of Marina.

Thank you, Fiz.

Hey, up. Keeping things PG on the dating app, yeah?

Mate, I do not have a clue how these things work?

Look, it says she's 1km away. How is that even possible?

Whoa, she's an absolute ten man.

You're a six. And that's on a good day.

Um, excuse me. She seems happy enough, thank you very much.

Yeah, for now. But you gotta step it up,

otherwise she'll lose interest and you'll be Caspered.

What?

Ghosted, bro.

Oh, I'll give you ghosted.

Cheeky little beggars.

It was a prank.

Right, listen up.

Year Elevens who are going on the trip to the Bronte Parsonage Museum,

please collect your things.

We may still make it on time despite this unnecessary delay.

Thank you very much. Be on your way.

Are we OK?

No, not really. You went behind my back going to my mum's house

and deleting my text.

I feel like I can't trust you.

Come on.

Hurry up. Bus going soon.

Morning.

Oh. What... What you doing here?

I'm a volunteer on your little trip.

Wuthering Heights. I love the Brontes.

I'll let you get on. That looks heavy.

Don't forget to bend.

I'll enjoy a coffee with Rashid while I wait.

What fresh hell is this?

Fiz?

Please. I'm sorry.

What were you thinking?

I... I don't know.

As if it isn't bad enough that you just told Johnny all about me.

It wasn't like that. He cares about you.

He just wanted you to see him differently.

Look. I'm just... I'm just a total idiot sometimes.

But I knew Johnny really liked you and then Gav came along

and I knew you liked him,

and then I saw the text and I just...

I wanted to make things easier for you.

And now, I've lost me best friend because of it.

I'm so sorry.

You don't deserve our friendship after what you did.

I know. And I really appreciate what you did this morning.

You didn't deserve my help there either.

Tell me. I'll do anything.

Look, flail me alive, hang me by my feet above a pair of Marina's socks,

but for the love of God, woman, say you'll forgive me.

I love you, Fizza.

Get up, you div. You're an embarrassment.

But you don't deserve my forgiveness.

I know.

But imagine how boring this place would be without it.

SHE CHUCKLES

Will you sit with me on the bus?

Course. What's the latest on drugs-gate?

Marina's going to grovel to get the bag back.

She promised to let me know when she's sorted the lining

and put it back.

The drugs. Sh.

It's not illegal to actually say the word, you know.

Don't. I keep thinking I'm seeing police everywhere.

Oh, my God, what if they find my fingerprints?

I could go to prison.

I thought your dad packed that in ages ago?

Yeah, he did. He knows I hate that stuff. They're not his.

Oh, Kayla, come on, wake up and smell the chai. He's dealing again.

So, you and Gav?

Changing the subject? I know that tactic.

I invented it. But since you ask...

..he text me apologising for standing me up.

Well, he better have had a good reason.

He did. His nan had a really bad fall, bless her.

Can't believe I'm about to say this.

Johnny and I slept together.

What? Before you ask, we used protection.

And no, I'm not going to be one of his little fan girls, right?

Let's just get that straight.

Um... Wow.

Congrats.

Yeah, it's no biggie.

I just gotta focus on Gav.

It's easy wi' him. We don't fight, for starters.

He's an activist, we've got loads in common.

Johnny, on the other hand, is only interested in his caravan.

No, it were a one-off.

I mean, it were fun and that, but...

Gav. Gav.

Cleaning the PE equipment,

polishing the rugby trophies, what else.

Let's see. And a cutlery audit. Yes.

You OK, sir?

Your punishment for setting off the fire alarm.

I've viewed the CCTV footage.

Let's just talk about this, yeah? Mano a mano.

How about no? I'm being serious.

You forfeit the privilege of a school trip,

so inside, please.

I really didn't think you had it in you to figure this one out.

I will not let this nanny state destroy me.

Power to the people!

CHEERING

You coming or what?

I'm sorry, how long?

Oh, you're joking. Thank you.

That was roadside assistance. It's going to be at least an hour.

But this is a bloody emergency. What they doing for one hour?

Are we going to have to walk back then or what?

Oh, man, Drake's new song's about to drop, I'm gonna miss it.

Sh. I got my eye on you.

Now, Mr Evershed, why don't I do a walk and talk

about the Wuthering Heights. I know that story.

All right. Do not let me down. No.

Listen up, everybody. Mrs Paracha is taking over.

Pay her maximum respect.

ALL: Yes, sir.

OK. I believe...

..we have someone here with a university degree.

For a more refined and sophisticated approach,

follow me.

Oi. Saved you a seat, you know?

I had to listen to Tahir getting the words wrong to Little Mix

all the way here. Cheers for that.

Not everything's about you, you know.

What were you and Miss Paracha planning sat together, huh?

Your TikToks?

Are you avoiding me?

Look, the world doesn't revolve around you, Johnny.

Were you ever going to tell me that you slept with Fizza?

Hang on... My life was so much easier and simpler before I met you.

Just stay away from me.

Kayla.

Where you goin'?

Kayla!

SHE SCREAMS

Charlotte, Emily and Anne found inspiration here -

the great outdoors.

This place is so miserable.

No wonder they lost their minds

and wrote absurd things like marrying out of their class.

This is seriously dry, bro.

I know. I'm missing school's treacle tart for this?

And these three sisters,

were here all alone with only their writing.

Never knew she was such an expert.

What a relief. Huh.

I'm relieved.

Take Wuthering Heights. Let's not forget that Catherine was a lady

and Heathcliff was found on the streets. Different classes.

It could never have worked,

so it's no surprise that their relationship was... Come on.

..doomed from the very start.

Hey, why are you so mad at me?

Look, why have you come after me?

Cos I've never seen you like this before.

So what's goin' on?

Quite possibly having the worst day of my life over here.

So tell me.

My dad's dealing again.

Got five more of these out back.

No. You're spoiling me.

I was getting there with him, you know.

Being the good daughter.

I just feel so let down.

Well, don't try so hard.

I wish you could see yourself the way everyone else sees you.

You don't need to change who you are.

Kayla, anyone that makes you feel let down don't deserve you.

Well, you lied to me about Friday.

Did I deserve that?

Right, I'm sorry.

Yeah, I should have said.

But I didn't just cos it were a one-time thing.

Typical. Got what you want, who cares if feelings are hurt.

Y'know, helping you was the stupidest thing I've ever done.

Fizza is the most amazing person I know,

any man would be lucky to have her.

No.

Yeah, I know how amazing she is, trust me.

It's weird. I've been trying to wrap my head around it,

cos it's not how I thought it would feel.

But then I saw Fizza this morning

and she said we should just be friends.

She said all this time we were better off just as mates.

And I'm kinda relieved.

I feel the same way.

Hang on, you agreed to help me, so why are you so mad?

Because...

..I was the last to know.

If I knew it would upset you,

I wouldn't have done it.

Why?

I just...can't stand the idea of upsetting you.

I don't need to pretend to be anyone but myself

when I'm around you.

Catherine and Heathcliff's love was doomed from the off.

Reckless. Gallivanting. Selfish.

Forgetting what actually mattered - family,

honour, and legacy.

No. No. I beg your pardon?

I'm sorry, but I only hear this story on the audiobook,

but that's not what it's about.

It's about passion. Everything you think you know before is gone.

All you can think about is him.

I think we have had enough of that now.

I kick my husband out of my house.

We're doing the Bronte's, not Coronation Street.

I throw his clothes out of the window an' all,

because he make me feel unloved, ignored.

But then I find love.

And I don't care what people think of me.

All I care about is this feeling inside,

the passion.

And that is Wuthering Heights.

When two people are fightin' against what their family expect

or what their community expect.

Romeo and Juliet or Heer Ranjha,

or even Meghan Markle and the Prince Harry.

Respect, Aunty-ji.

Mm. So when you look you at this place, these moors,

think about Heathcliff and Cathy,

and how lonely they must have felt

except for when they have each other.

Couldn't Emily Bronte have written this somewhere hotter maybe?

Love happen anywhere -

on the moors, on a beach, in a cinema.

Too much information, bro.

I know your passion, Ruki.

It's being naughty. LAUGHTER

Yes, that's what we like to see.

The Ackley Bridge spirit alive and well.

Keep it up. Keep that energy.

Guess what? The bus is fixed. Off you go.

KIDS: Woo! Yes.

PHONE RINGS

Yes, Lorraine.

What? OK, we're on our way back now.

Hang on a minute. Johnny.

Where's Johnny?

I'm dreading going home.

Aye? Well, there's always a plan B.

Don't go back. Right.

We can run away to the seaside,

set up a business selling horse rides on Bandit.

I've always fancied doing a business plan.

I'll be customer facing,

you know, cos of this...

Inviting yourself into my fantasy?

You can't get rid of me that easily.

Besides I could do with escaping my reality for a bit.

Yeah?

Yeah. Just some stuff I'd rather forget.

And what about school?

What could be better than the school of life?

I like it. We'll branch out.

I'm seeing Blackpool, Margate.

But then we'll become victims of our success.

Classic. You'll get greedy and I'll become fat.

Actually, um...

Sounds quite nice, don't it?

You know, for real?

Getting away from it all, just you and me.

Hang on.

This shouldn't be here. We were retracing our steps, right?

I were blagging. I don't know the way.

Johnny!

Right, OK. Let's see.

We could turn back, but it'll take ages to work out where we went wrong.

I think I saw a sign back there for a farm.

Which means there'll be a road nearby, and...

Kayla.

We've got a couple of hours before the sun sets,

so we're good for light.

Kayla.

OK.

Right. That's it.

♪ I don't want anybody else but you

♪ I know I'll never love again, I do

♪ And even if we leave a mess

♪ It's cool

♪ I don't want anybody else but you... ♪

Um...

Thank you for that, um, lift.

You're welcome.

THEY CHUCKLE BREATHLESSLY OK. Well, that was...

Sorry, I don't. No. No, No. Don't be sorry.

That was crazy.

But, like, um, good crazy.

I think I know why you deleted the text.

Oh, don't. I can't believe I did it.

It was impulsive and stupid.

No, no. I'm the stupid one.

Why did you let me go on about her? With the tips?

It must have been so hard. I had no idea...

No, no, it's OK.

This is weird, though, right?

Like, major...weirdness.

That's the thing -

it don't feel weird at all.

I didn't know how to tell you.

That I really liked you.

We've wasted enough time.

I ain't gonna waste any more. I've been looking for you everywhere!

Gave you a free work out, sir. No need to thank us.

Sorry, sir, it was my fault. I'm really sorry, mate.

I've had a call. It's your Grandad. He's had another heart attack.

What? He's going to be all right, though?

Doesn't look good. He's in the hospital. We should go.

Johnny?

He's gone.

I'm here.

Right, come on, let's go.

♪ I don't want anybody else. ♪
