"Your time will come sooner than you think." We've just received

a pretty nasty death threat. They could be in the building.

No justice in this world, Gemma.

Not unless you go out and get it yourself.

Yeah. I think I will.

You attacked my head teacher.

Wendy, we have a code red situation.

Donte, where's Stella? Back stairwell, first floor.

It was my mum. Gemma Neville.

I'm arresting you on suspicion of assault.

We never, ever grass on our own, Stace!

You're dead to me.

I'm 64 today.

I can't find the off switch.

Schuey, I know what they say about you.

But you're not that bad really.

And all this Billy Savage stuff, it's done now.

What, so you're on MY side?

You know, you're not too bad, you. You know that? See?

We can keep it strictly professional.

When we want to.

You used to date Ashton Stone's mum?

Yeah, about 15, 16 years ago.

You could've been Ashton's dad.

I've got a daughter. It's Jas.

She didn't want anyone to know.

Talk about the walk of shame.

Hey, stride of pride, more like. You should be buzzin'.

No, no, I am. Right. I'm just also a little bit hungover.

Hey, er, you should probably go on ahead.

Maybe we could have round two tonight?

Yeah, maybe. OK.

See you.

Yo. Are you Schuey?

Who wants to know?

I'm Marty.

Here you are, take this.

It's from Billy.

I was inside with him.

Gave me it when I got released.

Told me to give it to you.

Wait, wait, wait. Watch this.

PHONE PLAYS INDISTINCTLY

You've smashed it!

Really? That is brilliant, that. Thank you!

Any news on Stella?

No, nothing yet.

I'm still really worried about her.

I think it's going to be a while

before she's able to come back to work.

So, how are we splitting today's duties?

How about...

..I do behaviour, you do external stuff?

Hmm. What external stuff? Trust stuff.

No. What about the other way round?

Hmm. I'm pregnant. Ah, exactly!

So you don't want to be tackling warring children,

and I can't be dealing with Serena Michelle

breathing down my ear hole.

What?

Is it Serena Michelle?

Stella? What...

What are you doing here?

My job.

My chair.

Oh.

Hey, thought you'd appreciate something hot.

I've already had something hot.

Stop it! THEY LAUGH

Hey. Go Waterloo Whizzes!

Waterloo Whizzes are not going anywhere at this rate.

How am I supposed get them to a Mathlympics competition

if I've lost my driver?

Why, what's happened?

Running late. Been selfishly throwing up all night, apparently.

Aw, thank you anyway.

Why, what for what? For having

a ten-second conversation with me without walking away.

No, I wasn't... You were!

You thought that I was going to ask you to drive.

No. No, I didn't.

All right, then - prove it.

Drive the minibus.

To be honest, I could do with an extra pair of hands with Ashton.

He might be gifted, but he's a liability when he kicks off.

And he listens to you.

Fine. I will drive the minibus.

Now, get that cute little tushy to the car park.

Cute little tushy?

What, now? Yeah, now.

Nisha gets what Nisha wants.

BELL RINGS

What am I doing?

DOOR OPENS, WHISTLING

WHISTLING STOPS

Is it contagious?

DONTE SIGHS

Come on, then. What have you done?

No, it's more of a question of...

..who. Oooh! Spill the beans.

Now that I've got a baby on the way, I need to live vicariously.

Yeah, it's best way.

SIGHS OK, fine.

Look, I've been seeing two women.

Ah, well, now it just sounds like you're showing off.

Yeah, well I'm not.

You know, the first thing just happened casually, right?

I didn't think it was that serious. You know, it was just a bit of fun.

So I fell into something else and...

..the worst thing is, is...

..they both work here.

Oh...

Well, as long as one of them isn't called Coral, it's not a big deal.

I mean, bit awkward, maybe.

Do they both know about each other?

Not yet, no.

Well, that's your first step.

Do you mind me asking who they are?

Well, I started seeing Nisha.

Oh, you're a brave man.

Tell me about it.

And then I started seeing one of the ECTs, Jas.

Jas?

Jas Sharma?

Yeah, that's right. Oh...

Oh, don't be like that, Neil.

See I knew it was bad. Two colleagues, right?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. They are much more than colleagues.

You don't know, do you?

Know what, Neil?

Neil, come on, spit it out!

Right, well, er...

..Nisha is a mother.

Yeah? And Jas is a daughter.

Right...?

No.

Nisha is Jas's mum?

Neither should it be for a woman,

for we've got minds and souls as well as hearts.

Hey. You missed registration.

I came looking for you.

Oh, sorry. It's my fault. I'm just obsessed with the video.

And my directing. I'll thank you in my Oscars speech!

Didn't know you'd finished it.

It was just easier to do at home.

But I do need you to look at it.

Are you sure you need me?

Course I do.

Honestly, I swear, you're defo going to get into drama school with this.

Hey, we better be careful -

people might start talking about me and you.

Not funny, Neil. It is a little bit funny.

Look make jokes about it in three years' time, but not now, please.

I mean, why didn't they say anything?

Er, well, I think they wanted to keep it on the down-low,

but I don't think they figured on some lothario

secretly dating them both.

Sorry. Now what am I supposed to do?

I'm meant to be going on this maths trip.

They're both on the maths trip, Neil.

Well, then you go.

If you don't go, then there'll be plenty of opportunity for chit-chat

and the truth might come out.

The truth is going to come out no matter what.

Yeah, well, then it's a matter of damage limitation.

Right, you go on the trip but, separately,

you finish with them both.

What, you think that'll make any difference when they find out?

Oh, well, I think it'll be a lot better than carrying on

with them both and then waiting for all hell to break lose.

TONYA: It's not fair.

You're getting to miss a whole day of school.

I want to come.

You can come if you can tell us what Mathlympics actually is.

Hmm.

Is it where all the number freaks get together

and see who the biggest nerd is?

Didn't think she'd get that.

Me neither.

CORAL: Erm, what are you doing?

We're going Mathlympics, miss.

I'm pretty sure you're not.

Although, I guess you're here.

He is the best mathematician in school, miss.

He may well be, but his attitude's appalling.

Have you got any idea how prestigious this event is? Hmm.

All the hard work we've done to get through the heats to the finals.

We have got a chance to be the first nonselective school

to win this competition

and instead of doing last-minute practice, you're messing about.

I'll give it five minutes before you're back here.

Do you want me to deal with him?

It's no skin off my nose.

Right, come on, everyone on the bus. Let's go! You heard her.

Come on. Chop chop.

Ashton.

Come on - Miss Chandra's going to be here in a minute.

Changed my mind. I'm not going.

Hey, come on, lad. Don't let what Miss Walker said put you off.

She's just using reverse psychology on you.

Yeah? Well, it didn't work.

I can't do it.

Oi. Yes. Yes, you can.

Do you know how hard Miss Chandra's fought to get you on this team?

Hmm? Yeah, you walk away now and everyone's just going to be like,

"Ah, you know, it's Ashton, what do you expect?"

But you get on that bus, you smash that competition

and prove to everyone, and your parents, what you're capable of.

They don't care.

Yeah?

I'm telling you they would.

They'd be super proud of you.

How are they supposed to be proud of you

when you never give them a chance to be?

So, are we going to get on that bus or what?

There we go. Good lad.

Come on. Let's go.

You got this.

Hey. Hey.

Don't need you now. The driver's finally rocked up.

Er, yeah, I was going to come anyway, if that's all right.

Oh, yeah? Why's that, then?

Er...well, I just... ..just wanted to help...

It's all right. You don't need to over-explain.

I was going to say myself - why don't we reconvene?

Yeah, that's, er...

..that's not what I was going to say.

All right, so you want to come on a maths trip, right,

just for the fun of it?

I know what you want, Donte Charles,

and, if you play your cards right, you might just get it.

SHE CHUCKLES

Want to sit on the back together?

Hey, er...

You know what? I was, er...

I get a little bit travel sick

so I'm going to sit at the front, if that's all right.

Don't worry, I'll look after you.

Yeah. Great.

Just great.

Right.

How come we've got you today, miss?

Miss Clayton is poorly.

Probably because she knew what you were going to be taught today.

Yup, it's sex and relationship education.

Sex education? I'll take it from 'ere, miss.

Just sit down, Schuey.

So, in this session we're going to be looking at various forms

of contraception. Has anyone seen a diaphragm before?

Are you going to the youth club tonight?

Is that like a girl condom?

Yeah, there's a gig on.

Archie, don't make this more difficult than it is.

Just pay attention. Are you coming?

I don't know.

So, here we have several forms of contraception.

All of them prevent unplanned pregnancy.

If John is buying nine roses for his wife,

which of these companies should he buy from?

Rob's Roses, which sell at �1.30 each with a 10% discount?

Are you OK? Or Roses R' Us, which sell eight for �8.80?

I'd tell him to stop being so tight.

What are you doing here?!

I'm sorry, miss. I just... ..wanted to be good at maths.

What, and you thought you could

just do that in the next ten minutes, did you?

Right, we've got a stowaway. Stop the bus.

No, miss, please, just let me come.

Just...just let her stay, miss.

People say rubbing a ginger gives you good luck. Come on.

Literally nobody says that.

Oh, no, no, no, I swear it's true, miss.

Right, would you leave the poor girl alone?

Ugh... Right, go on, then.

But I'm going to have to text school and tell them you're with me.

You can be my reserve, I guess.

God help us, Tonya, if I need you.

PHONE PLAYS: I shall not be having anything to do with love till

I prove that I am something besides a housekeeper and baby tender.

Do you not like it, miss?

No, I...I love it. I think it's great.

It's very classic...

..a bit safe. What do you mean?

Well, I think you could be more adventurous,

more daring, more sparkles.

My middle name's Sparkles!

I could make this girl shine.

I don't just mean sparkly in a physical sense.

You need to have as many strings to your bow as possible,

so show shades of light and dark in your performance,

maybe a contemporary piece.

I do think Little Women is a really good choice for you.

But also channel big women, yeah? Who want to shout and be heard.

Yeah. I think I get what you mean.

You're so talented, Libby. Show them, yeah?

You can take the rest of the lesson to finish off the tape if you want.

Aleena, would you set up for her? Mm-hm.

And, Libs, I will do you some notes. Yeah.

You're going to show them, Lib.

Miss, I said I'd give Libby a hand. Shall I go as well?

Er, well, you've not quite finished your work.

And don't worry - she's all right with Aleena.

Yeah, I mean, if Aleena thinks that some make-up

makes a good audition video.

There's more to Aleena than meets the eye, you know.

Plus the pieces Libby that is doing are about feminist issues,

so just leave it to the girls, eh?

Yeah. Course.

So, how was you date?

That would be telling.

Tell me!

Look, it's early days. I don't want to jinx it.

Oh, my God. That means you like him!

Maybe I do.

If you're still with him in a week's time, I get to meet him.

How about you get to meet mine when I get to meet yours?

We could do one of those boyfriend reveal things!

Is that something you've made up?

Like a gender reveal party, only he whips his pants off at the end.

SHE LAUGHS

You should tell her to go home.

You tell her. You're the deputy.

Yeah, and you're her PA.

Right, that's like being her mum.

How old do you think I am?

Just...just get in there.

Go on, give her that Whitwell charm.

Go on, get in. Get in.

Can I help you?

Yeah, erm, we were just wondering if, er...

..you should actually be here.

I'm not going to be intimidated to staying at home.

Bullies don't win. That's what I tell the children of my school

and that's what I'm telling myself.

It's not about winning. We're just worried about you, Stella.

I've already got a mother, thanks.

Well, I did have.

Look at you - you can't even pick up a piece of paper without wincing.

If this is a misguided attempt at assuaging your guilt,

take it elsewhere.

I told you - what happened to me wasn't your fault.

PHONE RINGS

You going to get that or me?

Oh...

SHE WINCES

I want you to complete the table that Ryan is giving out,

with the advantages and disadvantages

of each form of contraception.

I think that's enough condoms...

Now feel free to ask me any questions.

Do you fancy doing something tonight? Serious ones only.

I've got plans.

Remember, everything you've heard from mates...

Mate, what are you smirking at?

Nothing, mate.

Friends don't know everything.

Er... I said no.

I've got leaflets and textbooks up here.

Fridge. Feel free to have a look through them.

Yes, Agnes.

I've noticed that abstinence as a form of contraception

is missing from the table.

Contraception means

the deliberate prevention of conception, doesn't it?

Yes. So abstaining is a form of contraception, no?

It's 100% safe and there are no side effects.

Apart from blue balls.

Ryan, one more comment like that and you will be outside.

I mean, yes, Agnes, that is a fair point.

But I'm here to give you the facts

and then you can all go out and make your own choices.

And do you think we're all mature enough to make that decision?

I'm pretty sure that abstinence is the best form of contraception.

Your face is the best form of contraception.

Schuey, sit down. Ryan, I have warned you. Now get out.

Miss?! Get out! I will speak to you after the lesson.

STACE: Do you know what, miss?

You're dead good at music. You should probably stick to that.

What is...abstinence?

It means saying no to sex.

Ah.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I've given her a pep talk, and she's found her inner confidence.

Move over Zendaya, Libby Guthrie is here.

Show them the bad boys!

CHEERING

Well, you've certainly interpreted the spirit

of what I was saying. Well done.

Aleena, are you OK to set up the camera for Libby's new take?

Yeah, of course. I'll see you in the common room. Yeah.

Do you like my new look?

If you were going to a disco, maybe.

A disco? How old are you, 90?

Just the whole look's a bit inappropriate, that's all.

Oh. I thought I looked cool.

I thought you wanted to be taken seriously.

It's your talent that needs showcasing.

New notes.

Oh, thanks.

See you later.

BELL RINGS

As far as I'm concerned, your behaviour was unacceptable,

and given today's very serious subject matter,

I will be ringing home later.

Ha-ha.

What?

Ha-ha! Oi.

Don't know what you're acting all cocky for.

Cos from what I've heard, Agnes - she ain't interested.

Yeah. I just watched her reject you twice.

What? Oh, relax.

Cos I will smash your face in.

Yeah? Want to get murdered like your bestie?

You think you're dead hard, don't you?

See if you can SMASH my face up, big man.

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, you're on.

Yeah, see you at lunchtime.

LIBBY: You need a break, you need space, you need time - have it.

Have it all!

Literally, Libby, that looks so good.

Do you think? Yeah. You're going to be, like, a superstar,

and then I could work with you, cos I think I'd be really good

in this industry, do you know what I mean?

I didn't think it was going to take this long.

Worth the wait.

Let's have a look, then.

Libby, it looked so good.

Like, there's no way there not going to notice you.

What do you think?

Yeah.

It's all right.

All right?! It's great!

No. No, it is.

I can see where it could be better.

Right, why don't we speak to Miss Spratt

and see what the drama expert has to say?

No, I don't need to. Jared's right.

Look, break's nearly over.

Thank you for your help but I am going to re-do it with Jared, OK?

Yeah.

Listen, why don't we go shoot it outside?

We're here. Right, this school is mad.

Oh, Ashton. Ashton, stop!

Stop! I've got a headache. Stop it!

SHOUTING

Stop it!

We are not behaving like that right now.

And, Ashton, I warned you -

these kids, they've got different standards of behaviour.

Now let's not confirm their stereotype of us

by acting like a bunch of yobs!

THUDDING, JEERING

Today's lesson - kids are horrible wherever you go.

You lot! What are you roaming round out here in the car park for?

Shouldn't you be in lesson?

I thought this was supposed to be a grammar school.

Where's your teacher?

I'm...I'm so sorry.

Let's do this, guys.

She's just brilliant, in't she?

No, I can't do it.

It's well hard.

Oh, hey. Thanks for helping Libby before.

I don't think she wanted my help, to be honest.

Course she did. Why do you say that?

Well, we'd done it dead good

and then Jared saw it and he said she should do it again,

so, obvs, she's done it again.

And that makeover took me ages. She just washed it all off.

Ew, what's she doing that for? Innit?!

Sisters before misters, I reckon.

Like, literally why does she care about what he thinks more than me?

Literally.

I'm sure she doesn't.

LIBBY: Tell me - do I need to be told that I'm mad,

that I'm stupid, that I'm ugly?

That might be how you see me, but it's how I see me.

OK, stop.

Again. I can't do it again, Jared.

Well, you're going to have to.

Look, it's getting better but it's just not good enough yet.

I took Miss Spratt's notes and she said...

Thought you wanted my help?

I do. It's just...

You either want it or you don't. Which is it?

I want your help.

You really need to believe in what you're doing.

If you want to make it as an actor, you need to get tougher.

Can't be getting over-emotional

every time someone gives you a bit of direction.

I'm not. Aleena said that...

Aleena's a bimbo. Stop valuing her opinion over mine.

No, I'm not. I swear.

If you think Aleena's so great,

why don't you put your false eyelashes back on

and paint your face like a clown?

In 1961, John F Kennedy...

Anyone know what the F stood for?

Doesn't matter. Fitzgerald.

He became the 35th President of the United States.

He was good looking, youthful, energetic.

Rather like my good self.

No. No. Wasted on you lot.

Anyway Kennedy's New Frontier campaign

was not popular with everybody.

Politicians in the South objected to his support for civil rights,

where even members of his own party thought he wanted to go too far.

Will you, please, stop talking while I'm teaching? Thank you.

I will not ask again.

Enough! Just fill in your worksheets, please. Thank you.

Yo. Why does everyone keep staring at me?

It's cos they're all excited to see your fight later.

I thought you'd grown out of all that stuff.

Agnes, I know some of your Christian mates

might run from a fight, but I won't.

Why? Cos.

Oh! Cos!

That's a convincing argument.

And you're actually right - all this fighting's actually great,

got no consequences whatsoever.

Do you not feel bad after what happened last year?

No.

Billy killed Boz, all right? Not me.

But from what I heard, it was a little bit your fault.

Right, if that's the case,

why's Billy writing to me?

You not going to open it?

No. Why would I want to hear what he's got to say?

He killed my mate.

And I thought you lot were opposed to that.

We are, but...

..but, Schuey, we do believe that forgiveness is important...

Yeah, sir, erm...

..I'm going to move seats. Fine.

CLASSMATES: Oooh!

BOOING

Are you really going to let them boo us?

Oh, it's all good-natured fun.

Look, I'm going to be sick.

Mog, are you all right?

Looks like the nerves have got to her.

What am I going to do now?!

What about Tonya?

I am not putting Tonya onstage.

Come on, she might surprise you.

Whatever!

Hey, you're up, OK?

Don't let me down.

Have you got any more of them strong painkillers?

What, you've ran out already?

What? Yeah, I'll give you the money tomorrow.

No. I don't want your money. All right, Dad!

I know what I'm doing.

Look, these are the last of them, OK? No more.

I knew you'd be there when I needed them.

No, I'm not. It's not happening again. OK?

Well, as you can see, no expense has been spared.

We, er...

..we hired those, you know.

Oh, er, pen and paper provided.

Although, a couple of ours won't be needing them -

it's all worked out up there.

Dad? What you doing here? How did you know we were here?

Mr Charles rang me. Told me you were coming good. Oh.

So which one is he, then?

Over there.

I'm Ashton's dad, Carl.

Oh, hi. Miss Chandra. Nice to meet you.

Hey. Mr Charles.

It's nice to put a face to you, after the chat on the phone,

and thanks for supporting him.

He's a bright kid, so...

Hey, listen, it's about to start, so I'd take a seat if were you.

MR TAYLOR: Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to Foxton Grammar School!

CHEERING

So, the rules are...

..there are no rules! We fight to the death!

LAUGHTER

No, but seriously, whilst we want you to support your team,

remember you can cheer...

CHEERING

But you can't jeer...

..even if Waterloo Road does get the question wrong!

LAUGHTER

I'm...I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I...I couldn't help myself.

So, if everybody's ready...

..let the games begin!

CHEERING

Er, sir?

Can I move seats, please?

What is this, musical chairs?

What's that?

It's a party game.

You know, like pass the parcel or pin the tail on the donkey?

What kind of parties are you going to?

It's a kids' party game!

Ew! Sir, what you doing going to kids' parties? You perv!

Just move!

Thanks.

Ey-up. Yo.

So, Agnes.

She's different.

Too right.

So...

..if she's different, you need to be different.

You obviously like her. Nah!

Right, you might want to tell your face that.

You've been drooling over her all lesson.

She don't like the beef between me and Ryan.

But...

Come on - she's Christian.

You know, like to keep the peace and all that.

But if I don't fight him

then he's going to think I'm chickening out.

So? Do you care what he thinks or do you care what she thinks?

I don't care what no-one thinks.

I'm fighting him.

BELL RINGS

OK, so this is the final question before lunch.

This year, The Newton Times had 227 subscribers.

Next year, they're forecasted to have 40% more subscribers.

How many subscribers would that be?

304.

No, wait, sorry, it's 317.

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to take your first answer,

which was incorrect.

GROANING

Well, Foxtonians, you may still answer.

317.

Is the correct answer! She just repeated my answer. That's cheating!

I got that one right, though. We should've won.

Come on, then. Come over here and say that.

What? I don't care, man. I'm done with this!

I guess that one hurt a bit.

Take it easy, man. It's just maths. I don't care, man. I'm done.

Well, I think this would be a good place to take a break.

I'm not sticking around for this.

I hope we all remember school dinners fondly.

Well, they haven't changed much.

He's bottled it.

I thought Little Miss Christian would have stopped you fighting.

Violence makes Baby Jesus cry.

Shut up.

Don't know why you're bothering. Did you not hear her in Sex Ed?

You're not getting nowt from her any time soon. Schuey, don't.

CHEERING, SHOUTING

Get off me! Get off!

You! Both of you! In my office now!

And you.

And you - come on. Are you OK?

Yes, I'm fine, thanks. Are you sure?

AGNES: Miss, could I have a word?

ASHTON: I'm out of here!

Ashton, you can't go. We need you.

Whatever. That question master is doing me head in.

Miss Chandra's gone to get your dad, all right?

I'm sorry, Ashton. He's left.

Why? Cos I were kicking off?

He's not going to give me another chance.

I don't even fit in with that family.

I only said I was doing that accelerated learning thing

and this maths because...

..I wanted to show my family I was making an effort to be better.

Hey. Do you know what you need to do?

You need to head back in there

and you smash that other team, the only way you know how, OK?

You're like a child genius, mate.

Come on. I'll walk you back.

Go on.

He needs you.

Nah, I don't think he does.

I could have been talking to him

for an hour and it wouldn't have made a difference.

Two minutes with you and he's ready to take on anything.

Look, Ashton aside, you are going to be the best teacher.

Do you think? I know! You're on their level.

You know how talk to them.

Look, Jas, I need to...

Still awkward when your mum catches you kissing a boy, innit?

Are you going to tell her or am I?

PHONE PLAYS: Telling me what you need.

You need a break, you need space, you need time - have it.

Have it all. Yes, you can. It's yours.

Hiya.

It is easy to overthink these things, you know.

I just don't know which version's better any more.

How many versions have you got?

I made a shortlist. Of how many?

12. 12?! Libby, that's daft. Here, let me have a look.

PHONE PLAYS: Again. I can't do it again, Jared.

Well, you're going to have to.

Look it's getting better, but it's just not good enough yet.

I thought you wanted my help.

He was just trying to help me.

Yeah. Erm, are you sure?

Doesn't sound too helpful to me.

You say that stuff to us all the time.

Yeah, I do but it's not quite in the same way.

You've not heard yourself, miss!

But his tone, do you not think that was a bit harsh?

I said I don't care! I'm not interested

in what either of you have got to say!

Jas, please, can we just talk?

All right. You want to talk, let's talk.

Who was better?

Come on, then, big man! Let's talk!

Who was better in bed, me or my mum?

I'm such an idiot!

Look, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you were...

You slept with my daughter.

And I will never forgive you for that. Ever.

NEIL: And then a coalition was formed

between the Social Democratic Party, the Social Liberal Democratic Party,

and the Christian Democratic Centre...

I know, it's silly, isn't it?

So, when I said talking to the belly is good for baby's development,

I didn't actually mean get them ready for GCSE Paper 2.

It's not exactly what junior and I want to do in our break time.

Er, sorry, Neil, can I have a word?

I need to go anyway.

Right, I will see you later, junior.

You are really sweet? Well, one tries.

Erm, can I...

..can I talk to you about Libby?

Oh, what's she done now?

No, nothing. She's doing really brilliantly.

She's putting together this audition tape for drama school.

Yeah, I know. I heard them last night. Was it...was it bad?

No. No, it's really good. It's erm...

I'm just a bit bothered about Jared.

What about him? He seems like a very upstanding young man.

He's better than Dean Weever anyway.

Although that's not saying much.

Er, yeah, I guess he is...nice.

Erm, it's hard to explain.

He's got a certain way of talking to her that makes her lose confidence.

Oh, well, see, I don't think I should interfere.

She's practically a young woman now

and she needs to be free to make her own choices.

Yeah, exactly. I don't know whether she is making a free choice.

So, please, would you talk to her?

Mm.

BELL RINGS

Stella?

Stella, are you OK?

Here.

Yes.

Yes, and...

..are you OK to stop asking me if I'm OK?

I'm sorry.

It's just you being back and breaking up fights

just was a little bit...

Well, look, do you want me to talk to Coral or Joe

and see if they're free to talk to Schuey?

Will you let me do my job?

Yes! Will you just let me do mine?

Part of which is looking after you.

I'm fine. I promise.

You, stay here.

You, come with me.

Sit.

I will not accept violence in my school.

I would have thought you, more than anyone else,

would understand the consequences of such acts.

Look at me.

I said look at me.

Can you see my injuries?

Yeah.

Yeah, and how does it make you feel when you see them?

Me, an old woman, covered in bruises.

What do you think?

I think it's horrible.

And it felt horrible.

We both know the consequences of violence, don't we?

I never saw you throw a punch

and I've also got witnesses to confirm that you didn't.

But I'm not happy with your behaviour, though...

..so I'm going to give you a four-day internal exclusion.

Internal? Yes.

But if it happens again, you are out.

Thanks, miss.

Right. You can go.

I can see that you're trying to make a change.

And if I were you, I'd be thanking Agnes.

Agnes? Yes.

She vouched for you.

Said it wasn't your fault.

In answer to your question,

that is why we're studying Jane Eyre.

It's well hard, though, miss.

Right, all of you, turn to page 48

and complete the long answer question.

Not talking to me now?

Yeah. Course I am.

Doesn't seem like it.

I'm sorry for before, OK?

All I was trying to do was help you.

I just feel like I'm always annoying you.

You're not.

I just want what's best for you.

Look...

Do you think acting's really for you?

What do you mean?

Well, I just think if you wanted to do it,

you'd put a lot more effort into it.

Maybe deep down inside,

you don't want to do it cos your heart isn't in it.

That is just not true.

I've always wanted to do acting, even before I said it out loud.

OK. I mean, it's such a competitive business.

Do you know how many unemployed actors there are out there?

One, two. One, two.

The atmos is... I am sorry, Jas.

..electric... Yeah. You said.

..and I'm not surprised. I really had no idea.

What drama!

Just don't speak to me, all right?

Is everything all right, love?

Why are you asking?

Well, er, Amy just thought I should check in with you.

What for?

So, you're OK, then? Yes, I'm fine.

And, er, all is well in paradise, I take it?

It's just that Amy was a bit worried about you both.

That was my fault. What was?

I just suggested to Libby that she keep her options open

about the whole acting thing.

I mean she's great, we all know that,

but it's such a hard industry to crack.

Wouldn't it be better to have some alternatives, just to be safe?

Well, that does make sense. What do you think, Libby?

Yeah, I agree.

Ah, that's good to hear.

You've got a level head on your shoulders, Jared.

Why's that Spratt woman talking to your dad about us?

Who knows? She's always interfering.

You're lying to me, aren't you?

What's the point of us being in a relationship

if we can't trust each other with the truth?

I was showing her the audition video and she...she saw you.

Me what?

Well, the tape was still running,

so Miss Spratt saw when you were, like, encouraging me.

Ah, right.

You showed her on purpose, didn't you?

Why would I do that? I don't know.

You're the one who's been going behind my back all day.

I was trying to see which one she likes better.

Cos you don't trust my opinion?

I do!

She's literally a failed actor. That's why she's a teacher.

Yeah. Yeah, I suppose.

I just never thought of it like that.

You know what I think?

I think you did show her on purpose.

No. Why would I...? Just stop lying to me, Lib.

Is your dad right? You just love the drama?

All of today, I've been trying to help you...

..and you're so self obsessed, you can't even see it.

No, Jared, don't go. I'm sorry.

OK. OK, yeah.

And if we could all quieten down, please,

this is the final question.

Come on, Ashton. Come on. Millie has three coins in her pocket

and they are all different from each other.

Ali has three coins in his pocket

and they are all the same as each other.

Ali has twice as much money as Millie.

What are the coins they each have?

Come on, Ashton. Come on.

Waterloo Road Whizzes?

Millie has a 50p coin, a 20p coin, and a 5p coin,

and Ali has three 50p coins.

That answer is...

..correct! CHEERING

Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together

for our new champions,

The Waterloo Road Whizzes!

CHEERING

Waterloo Road are the new champions.

As is tradition, they will be hosting the event next year.

Keep your valuables at home.

I can't believe that his dad would miss this.

CHANTING: Waterloo Road! Waterloo Road! Waterloo Road!

Can we talk a minute?

I'm working.

Oh.

What are you doing?

My biology essay.

Do you know why I'm doing my essay instead of going home?

Cos I missed the deadline.

Any idea why I missed the deadline, Lib?

Cos of you.

I spent all day trying help you

while you obsessed over some audition.

But it was you that said it needed the work.

That's cos it did.

I wasn't going to let you send in something laughable, was I?

Cos, unlike you, I'm not selfish.

I put aside what I needed to do for you.

Would you do the same for me?

Course I would. Really?

I told you last week that this essay was due in today.

Did you ask me about it? No.

Did you offer to help me with it? No.

But it's biology. I don't know... Do you know what?

I think you actually suit being an actress

cos you've been acting with me this whole time.

You need to think

about whether you've got space in your life for me, Lib.

Let me know what you decide.

You smashed it, bro. I never doubted you.

I swear, I never doubted you for a second.

I'm sorry.

You know what? You say sorry to the miserable coach driver

when your kids have been a bit rowdy.

For what you've done, sorry doesn't even begin to cover it.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I don't care!

What, are you dumb?

Do you think I'm going to go home and cry for you?

You hurt my daughter.

And now - now she's upset with me!

And for some reason, God knows why,

but she really liked you, Donte, do you understand?

She thought that you were special.

And she's had her heart broken

in the past and now she's going to think that all men are scum.

And you know what? Maybe she's not wrong.

I didn't know that she was your daughter!

You knew that you were seeing us both.

INDISTINCT

So proud of you, Lib.

You're doing the right thing, deleting them.

You know that, right?

Yeah.

Thanks for helping me.

Oh, erm...

Don't forget that one.

Not a digital footprint you'd want to leave.

I know this is hard, but now you get to focus on what really counts -

your studies here,

and us, OK?

Hey, we'll have none of that.

Don't ever think I'm not proud of you, cos I am.

I love you.

Why don't you go get your stuff? I'll erm...

..I'll wait here.

Hey, Libby?

I love you.

Hey. There you go, boys.

Oh!

Ashton, you are a bloody hero!

Did you just swear, miss?

Oh, so shiny.

It's not often I'm reminded

why I took a job in a school like this one.

God knows, most days are a trial.

But every now and again, things happen that make me so proud.

You have something special. You should try using it more often.

Show the world what you're made of.

Hey. Well done, lads.

So, er, successful day all round?

Far from it, mate.

You should try calling your mum and dad. They'd be proud of you.

Yeah, right. They don't care.

Trust me, they would.

Then why did my dad just leave like that? Hmm?

Look, just call them, yeah? Give them a chance.

Look, I already did, OK?

They really don't care.

Lib, are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Did you manage to get things sorted with Jared?

There was nothing to sort.

And you shouldn't have gone speaking to my dad.

I was only trying to help.

How sad is your love life that you have to go interfering with mine?

I know you lived in my house for a while but I've got a mum, thanks.

Yeah, I know that, but...

Do you know how many unemployed actors there are?

I mean, let's face it - I'm looking at one now.

Libby! And don't say I didn't mean it, cos I did.

And all those audition scenes are deleted now.

The world doesn't need another mediocre drama teacher.

I'll get a proper job, thanks.

Hey.

I messed up.

And I'm not asking for you to forgive me,

but you need to believe me, OK?

I didn't know that you were Nisha's daughter.

Otherwise I never would have...

Can we just leave it now, please?

And I'm more fussed about my mum, anyway.

She deserves better than you.

Yeah.

That's what she said.

She didn't care about herself.

Just you.

Nothing's ever going to break your relationship, is it?

I mean, well, let's face it...

..I'm just going to be a blip.

Five years from now, you and you're mum will be saying,

"Do you remember that idiot, Donte?"

That's what I am, Jas - I'm an idiot.

And I'm sorry for getting you in this mess, I really am.

You know, what you and your mum have,

it's exactly how it should be.

A parent and their kid, being there for each other no matter what.

And when I was looking at Ashton today, that's what I wanted for him.

He had this big achievement today,

and his parents, they didn't even care.

And I just wanted to hug him.

And I wanted to tell him there and then

that I was his dad and that I care, even if they didn't.

I just... I want him to know that I'm his dad, Jas.

Why are you saying that?

Ashton...

You're not my dad. Hey...

Why would you say you were?

Hey, look...

Look, I didn't want you to find out like this.

I wanted to speak to your mum first but...

..I don't want to lie to you any more.

DISTORTED: I have nothing more to say to you, Gemma.

I did say we weren't done.

Let me past.

You don't say anything.

GROANING

Have you seen Agnes?

Right, thank you.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

What for?

For being a stupid idiot.

Your words, not mine.

Agnes,

I know you got me out of trouble.

I didn't.

I just told the truth.

Ryan hit you but you didn't hit him.

Are you secretly into bad boys?

No.

I'm into secret good boys.

You think I'm good?

Somewhere.

Deep down maybe, but, yeah.

So I'm not going to go to hell, is what your saying?

Unfortunately, I don't get to decide that.

But it does seem like hard work trying to be good all the time.

That's why I like to come here. It reminds me to be better.

You know, erm, you help me to be better.

I know.

Is kissing part of abstinence?

No.

It's not...

It's not part of abstinence,

but it's not for me and you... Yeah.

I'm...I'm not bothered.

You didn't let me finish my sentence.

Yet.

Um, I should go and help with the chairs over there.

I wish you'd say something.

What do you want? 15 years' worth of Father's Day cards?

Well, I know this is a bit of a shock.

Oh, please, Ashton, just tell me how you feel.

I'm ashamed!

Ashamed I came from you.

Listen, you've got every right to be upset.

But I want you to know,

I only found out about you when you first started this school.

I...I wanted to tell you straight away, OK?

But your mum, she didn't let me...

So what you're telling me is that I've been lied to my whole life.

Ashton, no... Get off me.

Ashton.
