The chemistry. Are we going to be doing an experiment?

You shouldn't be speaking.

You just kept interrupting me the whole time, breaking my flow. I can't stand

it. How do you put a stop to that?

You don't. You can't.

I don't really know how to do all this.

Do what?

The whole boy -girl thing.

Me and George? Only on April Fool's Day.

Don't worry.

I'm sure there's some toy boy out there desperate to be your next shoulder to

cry on.

I thought you'd go in now.

I'm weird.

Thank you, Peg.

What a mum.

But you do anything to me again, I swear I'll kill you.

I won't.

Stay.

We don't want to get caught do we?

Stay.

Stay.

So what are you off to?

Get off.

That's harsh.

Especially coming from someone who looks so gorgeous in her cute pyjamas.

Go back to bed, Scott.

Why? Do you want to come with me?

I will.

Oh, come on.

You fancy me, you know you do.

I thought you hated me.

Now why would you think that?

Why don't you let me make it up to you?

I thought you liked older women.

I told you I don't know anything about that. You're right.

You're proper gorgeous.

You know that?

Proper, proper gorgeous.

Yeah, well, you're trouble.

Yeah.

But you like it.

Do I?

You know you do.

You're right yourself.

Too right?

Do you want to come in and see why?

That would be a really, really silly thing to do.

Drop the tilt.

Don't worry. I must be mad getting out of my bed this early in the morning for

you.

Well, it'll be worth it when I win that trial.

And for you, maybe.

And for you, maybe.

Silly.

If he must.

Look, whatever it is, Bonnie, I'm not interested.

Fine. Well, I just wanted to say that I didn't mean for it to happen.

What? You know, the electricity thing, I didn't mean to say it. I'm not

interested. Kinsey, you can't hold a grudge forever.

Mate. No, you made me look like an idiot.

Why would I want to be mates with you?

I've apologised a million times.

I saw you.

Last night.

In the corridor, in your little pyjamas.

So?

So... You and Justin?

Yeah, what about it?

Been going on for a while then, has it?

I like him, so what? What, more than you like Scott?

What? Yeah.

No one's there from you, are they?

So you snogging him?

What do you care?

Who says I do?

Couldn't tell us what he does.

What do you think Justin would think of a little snog, though?

Tell him if you like. It's not like we're going out or anything.

Yeah, but you're sleeping together, though. So?

Look, we've got an arrangement.

A what?

Yeah, so go ahead, tell him. I don't care.

Neither will he.

People should mind their own business.

What, like you do?

I can assure you, Mrs Luckman, the merger with Havelock High is far from

definite. Yeah.

OK, thank you. Goodbye.

That is the sixth call I've taken this morning. The LEA, in its infinite

has written to the parents about the merger and now more than half of them

convinced it's a done deal.

Wow. I hope it's not too grim.

Aren't you heading the wrong way?

Yeah. I bet something in the staff room.

You're going to wear that spoon out. What?

Sorry.

Have you seen your doctor yet?

He's referred me for tests.

Oh,

that's good.

Shows you he's being thorough.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

Where is my Kiwi gone?

Hey, at least you get a free period.

Hmm? Because of the trip.

Ethics. Both should have had them today.

Right, yeah.

Yeah, that's good.

Their new shoes. That new skirt as well.

No, no, I've had the three, Jason. Oh, for goodness sake. Oh, dear God.

My taramasalata's gone.

My gorgonzola. I went all the way to the deli for this.

You might have left me a mouthful.

Right.

Notice it happens.

It appears we have a thief in our midst.

Just a bit of cheese.

Just a bit of... Someone has climbed a mountain and milked a ruddy goat for

that. For me to eat.

It's a matter of principle, Christine.

A matter of trust.

Something that seems to be in very short supply these days.

OK, having enough of the sackcloth and ashes routine, I'm not going to

any more.

If you two want to play in a Martyr Twins film, but your loss of

-based snacks is not the end of the world.

It's the end of my lunch.

Welcome to Cheesecake.

Well, I'm glad someone's managing to make light of it. Now, if you'll excuse

I have several decades of teaching experience to put into practice.

You're ready for the PTA meeting later.

Steph Norton seems to have drummed up quite a turnout.

Yep, all set. If we're going to gather up some momentum to stop this merger,

we'd better get cracking.

I've got some moral outrage amongst the parents.

The last thing we need is them thinking the merger's a good idea. All it would

take is one disgruntled parent to go to the press and we'd be sunk by bad PR.

At Assembly Hall, morning break.

When was it?

Come on, Dale.

Come on, Dale, all the way.

That's it, you can do it.

You can do it, Dale, come on. All the way.

Stop.

You have two seconds off.

Look, I think we'd better go, eh?

Lenny, if I don't train, I won't be ready for the trial.

You've got two weeks.

It's fine.

No, go again.

Dale, come on.

Look, I even relieved this from the kitchen.

I can't eat that.

What are you going on about? A cereal bar?

I need protein, slow -burning carbs, proper nutrients, that, full of sugar.

But you've not even had any breakfast.

I'm fine.

One more time. What?

OK.

Go.

All right, settle down.

Today we're going to be looking at biodiversity and the geosphere.

Sir, are we going to get some time off before we go on? You're here to work,

Rhiannon. Well, I bet the other ethics have got free time.

I know. I'm never in Loch Lomond. Or is it yet middle of nowhere?

Enough, thank you.

They're looking at sedimentary rock formations, which are more prevalent

We're here to find plant species which illustrate how biodiversity works. So I

want you to think about how these species fit into the ecosystem.

What's their impact? What's their interdependence?

OK, today's groups are Bonnie with Justin.

And Misha.

Does he have to? OK, if you want, join their group.

And... Kenzie, please.

I want to be in the other group there.

This one, please.

So, that's Mrs Fitzgerald's group, and the rest of you are with me.

What, again?

Oh, please, can we just be in your group, mate?

As a matter of fact, you'll all be out on your own today. Yes!

Actually, I will accompany my group, Mrs Fitzgerald.

You don't have to.

I'd like to keep an eye on things.

In my experience, capes respond better when you trust them. They're 18.

They'll be fine.

Thank you for the advice.

My group line up in pairs.

That's still not fair. How can they go on their own? Go on, sir. We can pick up

plants. It's not a problem. You won't pick up anything.

You'll observe and record.

So why can't we just go on our own? My group back by 12 .30. No later.

Come on then, Bonnie. Don't want to keep the boys waiting.

You're spitting fire at me and getting away with it. And you're not wrestling

dragons and getting away with it.

We've been through this.

I'm sorry, Dad. I was at an important bit. Leo, I've played that game. There

no important bits. Believe me. Leave it in the locker, please. Come on. The

dragon will be there at a quarter past three. You can wrestle with him then.

Form Fitzgerald.

Mr. Harvey, I can only tell you what I've told other parents.

Oh, thanks.

Fine.

Mum still hates you.

I hope I didn't make things too awkward for you.

I'm used to her.

I found a load of old photos of me and you. I started looking through them and

she caught me.

She went nuts.

It's not fair what she's doing to you.

I'm sure I haven't helped. Guy, we both know what she's like.

At least you're looking out for me.

I've really missed you.

At least we get to see each other here.

Here? At school?

That'll be fun.

Not? I don't know.

At least Mum won't be able to lay down a little here.

And although species can find themselves competing for the same resources, they

can also depend on each other for survival.

Is this lichen, sir?

Yes, Darren.

So what kind is this?

Have a look at your lichen fact sheet.

Anyone give me a lichen fact?

It indicates pollution.

Is it true it can live in space?

True, but not particularly useful for our purposes.

Imagine that.

Living in space forever.

Oh, get a grip.

It's just mould.

Not exactly true, Rhiannon. Lichen consists of fungus and a photosynthetic

partner.

It was actually a Swiss botanist, Simon Schwendener, who proposed the dual

theory of lichen in the 19th century.

Oh, can't we just go somewhere that doesn't stink?

It smells disgusting here. That is the smell of wild garlic.

It's used a lot in cooking, especially in the Mediterranean.

We could do with that, sir. You know, being in the sun.

Doing a lesson, not on holiday.

Oh, just shoot me.

Here. The water's over there. Anyone fancy it? We've got work to do.

Oh, what's the problem?

Scared your mummy will give you any trouble?

Shut up, piglet.

How annoying is he?

Very.

Why don't we leave this for now and go and have some fun?

Exactly. See?

Bonnie's up for it, aren't you, Bonnie? You fancy it too, Justin, eh?

Nah. It's a crazy idea. Come on.

Well, I'm up for it.

Brilliant. We could even go skinny dipping.

But why don't you go in there by yourself, give us all a break, yeah? Why

you stay here and tick loads of boxes and we can go in and have some fun?

Come on, then.

It's time to decide.

Which way are you going to go?

You can't do both.

Just leave it, will you?

Right, why don't we all go for a swim and then we can come back and finish

later? Right, so let's go.

Come on, it'll be fun.

He's coming!

Bourne? What can I do for you?

Looks like the weather's held up for you.

Are you checking up on me? No, I've just phoned the other ethics group and now

I'm phoning yours.

So that's it?

I trust all my staff, otherwise I wouldn't have allowed the trip.

Thank you, Lord.

But everything's fine. I'm with the kids now and they're behaving perfectly. Is

there anything else?

Er, no.

Good.

Just leave him here.

No, we should all go in.

All right.

What about you, Keynesie?

Coming in?

Actually, I don't like getting my kit off for no good reason.

Thanks for the offer, though.

Come on, let him know. It'll be all right.

Yeah? I don't think it's funny.

You're not going in like that, are you?

Well, I'm getting hyperthermia.

I'm all right, Banks.

Just going to have a paddle.

A paddle?

Why are you like 50? Because I'm an adult and you're a kid, you mean. Oh,

go in the water.

Aye, aye.

Come on, it'll be fun.

Remember our motto?

Good PR, good PR, good PR.

OK, shall we take our seats?

Good morning, everyone.

Good morning.

Well, we all know why we're here.

There are people out there who want to close Waterloo Road and we want to stop

them. Well, anything we can do to help save Waterloo Road. Well, that is great

to hear.

And if you think this merger's a good thing?

I thought the point of this PTA was to help keep the school open.

I want what's best for my daughter.

As far as I can see, that's have luck high.

Carrie's doing really well here.

In spite of you and your colleagues, not because of you.

And how did Kevin Short get a place at Havelock High when there was no space

my daughter?

This is really not why we're here.

I think the other parents would like to hear more about how we can help.

I'll tell you how he got a place.

Strings are pulled.

Strings are pulled for him, but not for my Carrie.

I mean, how is that fair?

I want answers from someone.

No, you want an excuse to slam the school.

Well, guess what? I'm proud to be a part of Waterloo Road. So if you don't want

to support us, I'm happy to show you the door.

So you're not even willing to entertain the point of view that this merger could

be a good thing?

Sounds pretty close -minded to me.

Perhaps it would be useful to hear the positives of the merger.

Absolutely.

Do you think Steph Norton will go to the press?

The last thing we need is word getting out that some of our own parents don't

support us.

Well, let's hope she keeps her opinion to herself.

But somehow... I doubt she will.

The soil is extremely important in biodiversity, so we'll test our samples

pH levels.

Sir, is that a boar hole?

Sir,

did you go to boarding school?

Sir, have you ever skateboarded before?

You won't kill me.

Come on, concentrate, please. Sir, is your dog a border terrier?

All right, that's enough.

Measuring soil acidification is important for fertility and toxicity.

rearing the day out.

Something you'd like to share, Darren?

Why's the fun, sir?

We're not meant to be having fun.

Look, this. All of this.

If we don't understand it, we can't protect it properly. But it's not

interesting, though. Like, none of it is. Science.

If we didn't have science, we'd still be swinging through trees.

Cool. Oh, please, just give us a bit of time off, sir. We've collected enough

stupid soil samples already.

Soil cannot be stupid, Rhiannon.

Only people.

Well, do you know what is stupid?

This.

Pick those sheets up. And these.

You had no right for destroying other people's samples.

Stand up.

Rhiannon.

Rhiannon.

Get up.

All of you, now.

I said, stand up.

Captain Starframe.

You have Mr. D 'Alvera's mug.

You won't know if you don't tell him.

Thanks. And?

Toffee biscuits.

Haven't had these since forever.

Yeah, not Mum's favourite snack, if I remember.

They'll rot your teeth.

You'll get cavities.

Do you remember when she caught us eating them and we had to feed them to

dog to hide the evidence?

His jaws got stuck.

Oh, my gosh, there was so much dog saliva, it was horrible.

Mum nearly had a cow.

Maybe one night when she's at a PTA meeting, we could go for a pizza or

something.

That'd be great.

I'd have to be honest, I'd get paid, though.

Someone is always fighting in this school.

I pity you lot having to thwart it.

Yes, tell me about it.

Kid. Um, Guy, this is your juice today, isn't it?

Oh, yeah, right.

Damn it.

Oh, my God, it was freezing.

I told you it would be.

We should get back.

What is your problem?

Calm it down, guys, yeah?

Calm it down.

Brilliant. Kenzie, if you don't have anything helpful to say, will you just

off? You love them fighting over you.

Oh, what's the matter, Kenzie?

Feeling left out?

You had your chance. No point in getting jealous now.

You wish.

You never should have told me to get lost.

Well, behave.

She only snogged you after she'd been with him.

I'm sorry, what?

You kissed him. When?

Last night.

Go on, tell him.

You were with me last night. With him.

Shut your mouth, will you? So was this going on after you slept with me?

Or before?

What? You better not have given me anything.

Shut up. Stop it. Stop it. Leave it. Go for it. Leave it.

Yes, okay, I slept with you both.

It's not like boys don't do it all the time. It's not like either of you

wouldn't have had the chance.

You should have told me. It was ages ago.

Have you told me everyone you've ever slept with?

Exactly. I would never have touched you if I'd known you'd been with him. Shut

up, Scott.

Leave it.

Like you've never done it. You're disgusting.

Listen to you, nozzle at a joint.

Shut up.

She used you. Ha ha, poor Scott.

Totally played.

You little tramp. Listen to you, you'd go with anything.

Filthy two -faced. Well, you went with her mum.

What's she talking about?

I don't know.

She's mad, I don't know.

I saw you at her house.

No, you didn't. Why would you make that up? Why would I do that?

Yeah, he... How could she say something like that? She'd say anything.

You're vile.

She's horrible. Just trying to get everybody else off her own bike.

Kenzie, it's the truth. No, it's a lie.

I followed you.

You're nuts.

She's making all this up.

33 Shielding Road.

That's where you live, isn't it?

That's where he went.

That's where he slept with your mum.

Oh, my God.

Kenzie, I swear I didn't go anywhere near her. You're lying through your

Kenzie, Kenzie, calm down. I'm going to kill you.

Kenzie, calm down. It's all right. Get off of me. It's all right, Kenzie. Get

off of me. Kenzie, calm down.

Calm down. Calm down.

Kenzie, away, please.

It's all you think.

Get away.

Both of you.

Justin, look. I said go.

All right, get lost.

So much.

What have I ever done to him?

This is very immature. You are aware of that. I expected more from S -6s.

Stand up now, please.

Right, every single one of you is on report when we get back.

OK.

This trip's over. Go on.

Get back to the bath.

Woo!

Bonnie!

Don't!

Bonnie! How could he, Adam?

I mean, when did it start?

How many times did he come to my house and... feel so stupid?

I didn't know, in my own house, and I didn't know.

How would you know?

None of this is your fault. He won't leave anything alone.

Can't tell everybody, isn't he?

Like he did the last time.

No, he won't.

I won't let him. Him and Bonnie laughing at me and Bonnie pretending she wants

to be my mate and all the time she knew.

My mum, I did everything for her.

Everything since I was little.

And now this.

I'm not a bad person, am I?

Kent.

None of this is your fault.

None of it.

Anyone?

Yes, we're into circuit kingdom.

What's so weird?

Nothing, why?

I'm going to catch you on that thing.

Abdul, perhaps you'd like to enlighten us all by giving us a brief description

of your favourite hobby.

My favourite hobby is cinema.

Oh, cinema.

I like to watch lectures and video games.

Abdul, I hope you're listening to this.

Leo likes reading and video games.

I'm skiing off in ice.

Moi, j 'aime Paris.

I'm wondering if you can read like that.

Ali? Ali?

See? Oh,

um, the one with the cat on the skateboard.

Oh, he's great.

He's got some moves, by the way. One of her bumps in her face.

I love her.

What about the one with the dog who doesn't want a bath?

We watched that one the other week, didn't we, Lenny?

Oh, yeah.

Aha. Mm -hmm.

That's OK, that one.

Yeah. No, I've seen it. It's good.

Mm -hmm.

What about the really, really drunk guy who pretends that he's not even drunk?

It's hilarious.

He's all over the place.

You are so bad.

You just couldn't help yourself, could you?

Don't you dare blame this on me. You're the one that slept with her mum.

You didn't have to tell her, though.

We didn't have to do it in the first place.

Your stupid big mouth.

She proper hates me now.

Oh, get it now.

This is all about Kenzie.

No, it's not.

That's what you're upset about, isn't it?

Well, here's some news for you, Scott.

You blew it.

You couldn't have messed it up any better if you tried.

She proper hates you now.

Why did I even sleep with you?

What was I thinking? You're nasty.

What, and you're not? I kissed you and you'd been slobbering all over Kenzie's

mum. You're not even good looking.

And you're rubbish in bed and you don't have any friends.

Never come near me ever again. Same.

Bonnie! Bonnie!

Are you all right?

Bonnie!

How did it go? Let's just get our bags and get on the bus, please.

There's no point hanging around here.

Is that good?

Look, it's never easy when you first start. It took me ages to learn to

with kids.

Maybe you're just trying a bit too hard. Perhaps if you were a bit more

spontaneous.

Spontaneous? You know, off the cuff, loosened up. I know what it means.

Your group are late.

It's just 12 .30 now.

Exactly.

Bonnie!

Bonnie, can you hear me?

You see, Bill, don't move.

Don't you need to help me?

Just keep still.

Don't move.

Scott, you've got to do something, please.

I'm going to go get you some help.

No, no. I'll be back soon, I promise.

No, don't leave me, Scott.

Scott! I'll be as quick as I can.

Is this really what teaching has come to, Audrey?

You and me desperately trying to defend our cheese and tarma salata and our ogre

and that other whipper -snapper going on some jolly.

Why don't you count the bean, Audrey?

It's all very well to ridicule, Christine, but theft is upsetting and

irritating, and I, for one, don't intend to let it go unpunished. There you go.

Nothing in that tin. Well, you can dust it for prints.

OK, right, well, thanks for letting me know.

Everything OK?

Another flat gone.

It's impossible to find somewhere to live unless you're loaded and put down a

massive deposit. Yeah, it must be a nightmare. It is, believe me.

Sorry I can't help. I lodged with Audrey.

It's fine.

She can't help you either because I've got her spare room unless you want to

bunk up with me.

I didn't mean that.

No, honestly, it's fine. Don't worry about it.

What am I doing?

Just embarrassed poor guy I'm wearing shoes that are killing me and I've got

friends.

Christine, I ain't being funny, but...

Life really is too short.

You know, I should make it up with him too.

It's one o 'clock.

Where are you going, miss? I won't be long. Stay with Mr. Donovera.

This is rubbish.

Thinking about them both.

Now I've got to go back and face my mum. I mean, what do I say?

Look at me, I'm a mess.

Everyone's going to know I've been crying and they're going to want to know

You look fine to me.

Yeah, right.

You do?

Whoa!

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Thanks, but, you know.

Don't worry about it.

Hey!

No, you get away from me. Go on, go away.

No, it's Bonnie.

She's trawling. Yeah, off her perch. No, down the ravine.

You need to come help.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on, man.

What's up?

It would have been Mum's birthday for me.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Dad gets more upset than me, you know.

My head was done in when my parents broke up. I can't imagine.

Well, I'm used to it. It's been me and Dad for ages.

It's just sometimes I can't really remember her.

Like, I look at photos and stuff, but I can't remember.

So, are you coming to train tonight?

Eh?

Mate, just tell her that you like her.

Don't be daft.

She doesn't fancy me.

All right, don't.

OK, here you go.

High protein, good carbs, as per your diet sheet.

Thanks, Master Budger. Enjoy your training.

I will.

Excuse me.

What have you just done that for?

I'm not hungry.

Then why didn't you take it off?

Because you wanted to give it to me.

You don't mind if I join you, do you?

No. I saw you chatting to Carrie earlier.

You do seem to get on pretty well.

I bet.

I'll be better than that, I think.

You like her, then?

I suppose.

Are you kidding?

He talks about this girl every single day and he fancies her.

No, I don't.

Okay, you don't.

He does.

You heard of Emily Dickinson?

She's an American but Carrie loves her, believe me.

You find her one of her powers, she will melt.

Start thinking about your science project.

You need to pick a topic that's related to the material that we've covered in

class.

Yes, Abdul?

Miss, could it be about, like, genealogy and stuff?

I'm not sure about the and stuff, but genealogy, yeah? Good.

You could look at some of the things we've talked about, like hereditary

characteristics and how they're passed down.

Hand it over now, please.

Sorry, Miss, I'll put it away.

Miss, the castle's on.

Leo, give it to me now, please.

I'd like a bit of home time.

Come back here and pick that up now.

I'll get him.

What's up with you? It's just a game.

She ran and got too close to the edge. And why didn't you help her?

I don't like hate. I was saying, no, end to your pathetic weaknesses.

Scott! Bonnie, you're going to be fine, OK?

Just... Just don't move. Who am I supposed to move to?

Just help me up, will you?

Yeah.

Um, we'll call someone for help.

When can we go, sir?

We have to wait for the others.

This is boring.

Hey, watch out.

He nearly ate us then.

Well, don't sit near the pitch then.

Sir, tell him.

We shouldn't be playing football here in the first place.

Well, what else can we do?

He's right, sir. He needs to do something.

You just asked me to stop him. Well, you're the teacher. If they're bored,

your fault.

Give me that bottle.

What? I'm allowed a drink?

Why is it fizzy?

What? I know what he's doing.

This is that Coke and Mints trick, isn't it, sir?

I'm not just going to do the trick. I'm going to explain the science behind it.

So, come on.

Why is it fizzy? So that it tastes good.

So you can do this?

Because in the factory it was pumped with carbon dioxide, which wants to

the liquid, hence the bubbles.

The mints speed up that process by breaking the surface tension of the

but more importantly... So you don't put them in there? They increase the

surface area for the bubbles.

Works every time.

Hey, do it again, sir.

Throw no signal.

Come on. You're going to have to go down and get her.

How do I get her back up? My bunker's stuck. Hurry up. We'll pull you up.

up. How are you going to do that, Scott? You can't even look over the edge.

Please help me up. Get me up.

So it's your great idea then.

Don't just stand there.

Look.

Bonnie, listen, you've got to stay calm, all right?

Try and breathe.

Breathe?

Seriously, is that the best you've got? Well, it's more than you're doing,

Scott. All right.

Scott, take your jeans off. What? Why?

And then I want you to talk to her. Tell her we've got a plan. We haven't got a

plan. I have.

Come on, give me your jeans.

Yeah, I have mine.

Scott, what? Can you do something?

You tell her anything that'll calm her down.

Go on!

Bonnie! You okay?

Go and tell them. Is someone coming?

About what happened before.

I didn't mean the things I said. It was stupid. It didn't mean.

I'm sorry.

All right, hold on to that.

Both of you, as soon as she's up, grab hold of her.

All right, funny.

What? Take hold of this, okay?

Can I? Yeah, you can. Come on, we're going to get you up.

I can't. No, don't look down.

Don't look down. Keep looking up.

Look up, okay? Keep watching us.

Any idea who we give back to the boss?

And I can only reaffirm that the merger isn't definite by any means.

No.

OK. No, thank you, Mrs Armstrong.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Sonia, we're going to have to get a letter out to parents reiterating that

will be a consultation process, especially after the dire PTA meeting.

I have to take another call like this. I'll get on to it.

So, how's the school website upgrade going? I've got most people's photos.

Just, um, waiting on Lorna.

You got a minute?

No. A thief is operating the staff room. A prolific thief.

Well, what have they done?

Tarama Salata, Gorgonzola. I mean, you're going to have to do something

this. Yeah, I have to go and monitor a class.

You realise technically I am the victim of a crime here? Yeah, I don't know

whether you've heard this, but I'm trying to prevent a merger between this

school and a school called Havelock High. And I really don't give a damn.

about your cheese.

Oh, you're here.

Yeah.

There's a village in one of my classes.

I'll be monitoring your respite class, mate.

Everything okay?

Done.

Leave you to it.

So, what was it like to live through the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Now, you need two primary sources, one American and one Russian, please.

You found something, Lenny?

I think so, ma 'am. It's an American lady.

Good.

Can I have a word?

Yeah, what?

I'd like to read you something.

What?

Would you like me to go over here?

It's okay, you can tell me here.

All right.

I hide myself within my flower, that wearing on your breast.

The unsuspecting wear me too, and angels know the rest.

Emily Dickinson.

Ooh,

love poems.

I hide myself within my flower.

That fading from your gaze. That's enough.

You weren't suspecting.

Enough.

Where did you get this?

I copied it. I thought that... Well, it was Mr Braxton.

Mr Braxton? What did he say exactly?

He said that... That you'd really like it.

Hey!

You told Lenny to read me that poem.

What? Oh!

I just told him you liked her poetry.

So you're trying to set us up?

He's a nice kid.

Look, he's obviously keen. I know Mum wouldn't approve, but you know what

like about counterfeit boys.

But it was sweet.

It was really embarrassing.

Everyone was laughing at me.

Come on. You look so cute together.

You don't matchmake for other kids in other classes. Yeah, but you obviously

fancy him.

Actually, he's not my type. So that shows what you know.

Uh, Mr. Braxton?

I'd like to see your lesson plan before we begin.

Uh, yeah.

Sure.

Peter, you know now.

I know you'd really like to.

That's fine, then.

At least I don't know anything else to do.

I heard what you said.

To Mr Braxton.

What?

No, that wasn't... You are not going to make a fool out of him.

Penny, listen... Carrie,

I think you should just go and sit somewhere else.

Okay, guys.

Uh, settle down.

Today is all about books.

You have no idea where we're going, do you? Shut up, Scott. I know what I'm

doing. Justin!

Where on earth have you been? What happened?

Look, at this state of you, Eugene, will one of you please tell me what the

hell's been going on?

I tripped.

You tripped?

And the others help me out. You are two hours late. Just get on the bus.

Any other ideas how to make a kid's book more exciting?

Think about being seven. What really got you reading?

Yes. Make it be these?

Yes. Brilliant. So, I have a handout.

Somewhere. Ah,

here. Here.

Carrie, get these out, please. No.

What are you playing at? Give them out.

Oh, so you're my teacher now.

Funny you can choose, but I can't. Okay.

Lisa, give these out.

I will not have you disrupt my lesson.

You don't mind disrupting my life.

What are you... Go to the cooler. Now.

Next person to speak, join her.

Any idea what it is?

Is it a leaf?

Very funny. Think about the trees we talked about yesterday.

How their leaves identify them?

Um... Is it a fern leaf, sir? Correct.

Dan wins the mint.

That's not fair. He's not even blindfolded.

What happened to you lot?

Look at this date.

Where have you been?

Is everything okay?

Everything's fine.

Yeah, really looks it.

You lot been in a fight or something?

Justin had a fall, apparently.

No, it's my fault. I took it on time.

What's happened to your shoe?

What's happened to his trousers?

You lot have been doing something well, don't you?

Get your bags and everybody onto the bus, please.

So, you let them get on with it when...

Well? Kendi, I'm sorry. I don't want to talk about it.

Thanks, Scott. It didn't mean anything.

Remember, keep it surprising.

Boring books will be banned.

Sorry about Carrie's behaviour. She's not usually disruptive.

I thought you handled it very well.

Really? Teaching anyone's hard enough. Teaching siblings.

But you did well. I didn't let your feelings get in the way at all.

Thanks. Although you are going to have to get on top of all this mess.

Yeah, sure.

How's the flat hunting going?

You know, I found a dressing gown this morning, stuck behind a magazine rack,

and a number of food items have been going missing from the staff room, all

which would tend to suggest that someone may well be sleeping at the school.

And if that turned out to be the case, then I would have no option but to sack

that person, especially if that person had had a warning already. Wouldn't you

agree?

Yeah. So, I'm going to leave for ten minutes.

And when I come back, I'm pretty sure all that stuff will be gone.

It were well good. You guys should have seen it.

I know.

At least we had a laugh.

Unlike you all.

Have you got any more experiments like that, sir, that you can show us when we

go back to school?

I'll see.

Obviously, being with them paid off in the end.

Obviously.

I made a real breakthrough today.

Well, good for you.

So, I've timetabled in a series of surprising experiments, drawn up a list

questions and answers.

It might not have been the experiment that got them. It might have been the

laugh. No, they will laugh when I start with a dry ice bubble.

It'll be fun.

Well, lighting a fire counts. Why don't we go for it, Matt?

Um, no.

53, keep going, Dale. Come on, keep going. 53.

Oh, keep going. Come on.

Dale.

Are you all right?

Right, hold on, mate. I'm going to go and get someone. No, no.

It's fine.

What's just happened?

It's okay.

Right, well, you don't just collapse for no reason.

I'm just a bit tired.

Right, you need to tell someone.

No, nothing's wrong, just leave it.

Are you sure?

Later than dawn, not going to night's post.

Right, with luck that will clarify things.

Oh.

Leo game.

Where did you get this?

I had to confiscate it, he was playing it in class.

He wasn't very happy, there was a bin kicking incident.

Okay, I'll have a word with him.

Oh, and can you sort out a photo for Sonia? We need to update the website.

A photo?

Anything recent.

Yeah, sure.

What's this?

It's Gorgonzola from the deli for you in terms of the latter for Audrey.

So is you.

You're the cheese thief.

No. What's going on? I've just caught Christine red -handed. Look, I was

it in, not taking it out. What kind of thief put things back?

A guilty one, by the looks of things.

I bought it.

Do you apologise?

For heaven's... What?

What are you doing?

Did you stay here last night?

No.

No, well, uh... Yeah, in fact.

I did.

And it was me.

I ate the cheese.

You?

Kind suspect, staring me in the face all the time. Yeah, it was me. Do you think

I wanted to?

You guys got grants, I got debt.

I can't even afford to deposit on a crummy little flat. So I'm sorry I stole

your food.

But I had nowhere else to go.

And no money.

I'll put it all back when I get paid.

What were you thinking?

In front of Mr Fitzgerald, of all people.

Oh, messed things up for you, did I?

What about what you did for me?

What? With Lenny?

I was just trying to help. You made it worse.

Either be my brother or my teacher. You can't flip from one to the other to suit

yourself.

You're right.

OK, it looks like we need to set some boundaries.

Teacher in school, brother out.

You're my only family, Carrie. I can't afford to fall out with you. I don't

that.

After all, I waited so long to get you back.

Me neither.

Come on.

You'd better get home.

None of my business.

Obviously.

I need a nice kid.

Just saying.

Ever have one of those days?

All the time.

Especially recently.

What things do right for doing wrong?

It's far not hard to believe.

Oh, believe.

I hope they made someone smile today.

Lovely smile at that.

You're more than two hours late. The others got back ages ago. What happened?

Fine. A couple of them just got a bit lost.

Bye, sir.

Bye, Rhiannon.

See you tomorrow, sir.

You will.

Will somebody please tell me what's been going on?

Bonnie, you need to get yourself to the nurse's room. We'll sort this later.

Oi!

You were told to leave this in your locker.

Disrupting Miss Hutchinson's class, kicking over bins when you don't get

way. What's got into you?

I'm sorry, Dad.

We've talked about this, Leo.

No gaming for a week. Are you serious?

Yeah, I know. Seven days.

Nightmare.

Yeah, is it?

I don't want to hear it.

I don't have any excuses.

It just happened. It didn't mean anything.

Yeah, well, not to you.

You can walk away from it.

I can't.

That was stupid.

It was stupid.

I didn't want it to happen.

Look, I never meant to hurt you. Is it still going on?

No. But you were sleeping with her when you were with me.

No, I wouldn't do that. Yeah, but you fancied her.

The whole time.

You were watching her, you were looking at her.

No.

Not when I was with you, I didn't.

It was my mum, Scott.

My mum.

I'm sorry.

I'm really, really sorry.

Yeah, I'll never forgive you for this.

That poem you read.

I shouldn't have even said it.

Almost the Loneliness, that's the last line. It's one of my favourites.

I pretended I didn't like it when you read it, but I did.

Everybody laughed at me because of you.

I'm sorry.

Look, I really like you.

No, seriously, I do. You're funny and lovely and... But I'm not your type.

That's what you said.

Yeah, it's a guy, but...

I didn't mean it.

This is doing my head and I don't get it. One minute we're fine, we're mates,

we're having a laugh, and the next minute you're storming off and you're

things about me.

I just didn't want the whole goal involved.

Do you like me?

Wow, that much?

You know I do.

Okay, last and final offer, a drink down the pub.

We'll think about it.

I'm not going back into the doghouse, especially after you accused me of

stealing. In fact, if anything, you two owe me an apology.

Okay, true.

First round's on me.

I might just catch you up.

Come on, Audrey.

Give me a hand in these heels.

You're not allowed to stay here.

I know.

Sorry. I was just trying to figure out somewhere to go.

Right.

You don't look at me. You don't talk to me. It's for two nights only. I use the

bathroom first. You use your own towels. If there's anything missing from the

fridge in the morning... Thank you. Thank you so much.

Right. We are going to the pub. I think you'd probably better join us.

I would like Lorna to accompany you to Havelock with the PTA. So it's our

mission to bring them back united against merging the school.

Why don't you come back with us?

We've got a great lab facility.

You know the face I went for?

What's the answer?

If you've got a problem, say it to my face. What face are you talking about?

Your old one or your new one?

Has the book been handed in at all?

What book?

You'll know it when you see it.

Anything we can do to help?

Why can't you find something to do in the real world?

I think you should give me that.

And stay away.
