Keep your eye on the ball!

Yes! Well done!

It's not feminine, is it? What? You want me to be like her?

All lippy and boob? It's one thing having a kick about with your big

with all those lads in the changing room.

I was thinking about you, actually.

And, uh, getting married. What?

Why not?

Spend the rest of our lives together.

Those drawings look great.

You've got real talent. That's the first time anyone's ever said anything good

about me at school before. Well, keep on track.

I like the new you. Keep on with me.

I overheard Connor talking to some of his friends about you and that pregnancy

scare.

I thought we were careful, Christine. You can relax.

It was a false alarm.

Just like us, apparently. But it's good to know you were so terrified at the

prospect. I should go. Christine.

Just a minute!

You mean our Casey?

Careful you don't fall off that thing.

You can't get injured before the big cup final.

Since when do you care about school football?

Hey, you're my kid's sister.

If you care about the team, well then I care about it. Oi, Casey, think fast.

It's going to be an easy match and Dominic won't know where to hit him. You

know, they got the final without dropping a single goal. Who cares? In a

hours' time, we'll be bringing back that trophy.

Well, if it happens, it won't be thanks to you.

Everyone knows you losers couldn't win a game without her.

Whatever.

Barry, why'd you have to do that?

Truth hurts, Case.

He knows you'll either make or break that game.

We're a team.

I was thinking of running a book and taking a few bets.

You know everyone's going to put money on Waterloo Road to win.

Yeah, cos we will win.

And if we don't?

Guess who you'll be quitting?

It's like I said, they can't win without you.

Maybe you could have a bad day at the office.

Accidentally. On paper.

I knew you wouldn't let me down.

We've got a problem.

Well, it is a day ending in wine.

I was just having a nice cup of rosy, bitty, a little relaxed before the start

of the day.

Yeah, I do hope this is meandering towards a point at some time.

When I realised that I hadn't filled in the paperwork that the League Cup

organiser sent over for the variety.

It's not an issue, we'll email them before the match.

The thing is, formal guidelines on sports participation.

Check out clause 2 .5.

Girls ain't allowed to play on mixed teams after 14.

Casey's already 15, ain't she?

Yes, thank you, Sonia.

The association reckon they think the paperwork's rude to Mr Clarkson at the

start of the season.

Morning.

Hey, listen, I know you've got a lot on your plate, but we're a line's been

short later on.

Couldn't put the word out, could you? I have a feeling we might have a little

bit more luck if it came from you.

Formal guidelines.

If it's serious now, Tom. Yeah, well, you knew about this from the start.

It's not just about building Casey's confidence. It's gone too far now.

Well, it doesn't change anything. I mean, it's done now. We're in the cup

Waterloo rode her in the cup final. Casey Barry is not.

Are you serious? She's off the team, end of story.

End of story?

Casey's been through a group stage, two knockout rounds and months of training

for this. I'm more than aware of how hard Casey has worked. Are you?

She's done everything that we've asked of her, kept her head down, and now

you're going to snatch it away from her?

I can speak to her if you prefer that.

No.

The least I owe her is to tell her myself.

It's my team.

At least I thought it was.

Hey, little man.

Fancy a flutter on the game?

I don't know. Come on. You do want Waterloo Road to win, don't you?

Barry, can I have a quick word?

I just wanted to let you know that we'll be seeing a lot less of each other from

now on.

Yeah? I met with Mr Byrne yesterday and we both agreed.

You've made enough progress to be taken off special measures.

Seriously? Yeah, don't look so surprised.

You deserve it.

But report to the PRU as normal this morning, OK?

Oh, Barry.

Keep your nose clean.

Things should be so buddy -buddy once you've found out you've been taking

off little kids.

And how are you, coming up with cash for Dad's lawyers?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

So that's the stairway, and upstairs we have math. Yeah, very funny, being in

the PRU, not Mars. I'm just helping you get your breathings back.

It's good to have you back with the rest of us.

Thank you. All right,

I was going to wait till after school to give you this, but...

Open it.

It's second -hand, but I spent all last night cleaning it, so... It's beautiful.

But... I think people might notice if I'm swanning around wearing that.

Who cares if they notice? They're going to find out soon enough anyway.

Just like keeping it between us.

Why do we have to shout about it?

Because we're in love.

Because the whole point of getting married is to shout about it.

Hey, Jen. Can count on you to come up to the game later.

Who's Jen?

Short for Imogen.

Oh, he thinks it's funny cos I hate it. St Dominic's have a mega following so

little than we do too, yeah?

Go water the road?

You hate football?

It's not about football, it's about supporting the school.

Nice one, Jen.

Glad to see you made friends when I was gone.

I got stuck with him as a chemistry partner the other day.

He's actually a pretty good laugh.

Hmm.

See you later, Jen.

Connor, wait.

Connor!

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Calm down.

There's enough room for everyone.

Yes!

Not that I'm surprised. It'd be a crime to rub the world of this talent. What

the hell is that doing up? I got picked!

Must be a typo.

I'm kidding.

It's McMullen.

I haven't had a chance to tell Casey yet.

Where's my name?

Say.

There's no easy way of saying this.

You won't be playing in the match this afternoon.

What? But if it was up to me... It is up to you. You're our manager. You picked

the team. I don't make the rules.

You mean it's because of Miguel?

Mr Byrne has decided that he can't go against regulations.

That's not fair.

Munch, what's up? I won at that semi -final and the quarters and I've scored

every single group match.

And you're right.

It's not fair.

I'm sorry.

Calm down, yeah?

I have to play. I have to.

You knew it had to end sometime.

You can't play with the boys your whole life, can you?

And what would you do now about it?

Katie?

Who are you?

Zoe.

From the VMA forum.

You go, yeah?

That's up to you, yeah?

Do you want to get out of here?

Look, Mr.

Shouts, bring out your debt. Stick to your class and reprobates and leave the

humour to those better suited.

Tom, I just heard about Casey.

I'm so sorry.

Well, it's who you should feel sorry for. She's given everything to that

Her wife should have broken a leg or something, cos she's not as strong as

lads. Oh, yeah, why let a kid follow their passion when there's health and

safety to consider, eh?

Morning, everyone.

I can have your attention for just a sec.

I know that lunchtime is your own time, so there's no pressure.

Here we go.

But I'd like to see as many of you as possible out there to support the

team. Why not just fit us for nose -bag -scrap lunch altogether?

We're also looking for an extra linesman, so if any of you would like to

volunteer.

Grantley?

Thank you.

That's a lovely gesture.

OK, grab a Bunsen burner and get into pairs.

Hey, I'll make this one for you.

Hey, if you'd rather work with someone else, that's... No, it's not you, it's

Imogen.

I think she's gone off me. Oh, come on. No, I'm serious.

I bought her something and I put lots of thought into it and she just knocks it

back. And she's been all flirty with Jack.

All the girls are flirty with Jack.

Yeah, but I'm not imaging.

Well, if she is having doubts, and I'm not saying she is, maybe you need to

fight for her.

Fight? How? She already knows what she means to me.

Just show her you're better than the lover boy over there.

I hope you're moving with some sort of scientific purpose, Jack. Of course, Mrs

Diamond.

Robbie Hayes had to pull out the match.

Great, now we've got no star striker and no goalie for the game. Of course we've

got a star striker. What are you talking about?

I'll do it.

What?

Just because I haven't played before doesn't mean I can't.

Jack, back to your seat, please.

You sure about this?

Yeah.

Whatever it takes.

So, all that extreme football stuff we talk about in the forum, you really into

it? Yeah, aren't you?

I like being mixed and...

I sneak over when I get the chance.

But football, it sounds small, but when I'm on that pitch, nobody can stop me.

It's like... No, go on, please.

It's like flying.

Like, free.

You know what I mean?

You're so different to how I imagined you.

Yeah? I mean, like, you're not like any other lad.

I've hurt my head.

Do they say I was a boy? I don't think I did, but I mean, maybe... OK.

If I did, then... No, you didn't.

I guess I just assumed.

And then I saw you with the football.

So you're a girl?

I've got a girl.

No, don't.

It doesn't matter. Not really.

I can't believe you really thought I was a boy.

So, what do people do for fun around here?

Take a seat. Turn to act two, please.

Oh, quick work.

Quietly.

I thought you should know, Casey Barry hasn't turned up for either of her

classes this morning.

Right. I had a feeling something like this might happen.

Look, I don't think Michael realises what this match means to these kids.

Casey especially.

You knew she couldn't play football with the boys forever. It might have been an

idea to prepare her a bit.

Well, I should have done it stood firm, told him where to stick his rules. Tom!

No, I'm serious.

Look, he reckons it's his job to follow the letter of the law, but it's mine to

do what's right by these kids.

Tom, don't do anything you'll regret.

What?

Oh, yes!

I thought you were supposed to be the sporty type. For the record, if we were

-karting or rafting or cycling right now, I'd be winning.

No, you really are kidding me. Think a lot yourself, won't you? When there's

reason to.

Then you won't mind if I pick what we do next, seeing as you're so good at

everything.

Come on, you can win me a teddy bear.

Well, it's not ideal, but Sonia dug this out from the bowels of the PE cupboard.

Grantley's volunteered to run the line at the game later.

Looked like a stick of licorice, didn't it?

Well, we all have to do our bit, Grantley.

Maybe we should find you a nice pair of cycling shorts to go with it.

Lucky you're not hungover, eh?

Hungover? Word of advice, Grantley, don't play out on a school night.

Or if you do, learn to hide it better.

I didn't see you with anything stronger than a cup of tea last night.

You can't keep track of my every move. Try as you might.

Sian, Phil, do you want to talk to Casey? Yeah, I'll deal with Miss Barry

she reappears.

You do realise that it's your decision that's led to this?

A decision that you forced me to make.

I've got a free period next.

I was going to drive into town and see if I can find her. Good idea.

Just to get your permission first.

In case leaving school during teaching hours is against regulations.

Find her.

Guess his boyfriend just made the footy team.

It means it. What happened?

They need a mascot or something.

Goalie, actually.

All right.

What about the doggie group?

We've got a meeting at lunchtime.

I thought this was what you wanted.

For you to turn into a meathead? Why would you think that?

What is up with you today?

Me? You're the one that's had the personality transplant.

You're getting cold feet, is that it?

Look, talk to me.

Right.

Got it.

Trouble in paradise?

More like trouble with me.

Why can't I just say what I mean? Because you're a human being.

Helpful.

Look, if you can't tell him how you feel, why don't you find a way to show

You're a genius, you know that?

Oh aye, mince a hair of comb.

Did that make you happy, me thinking you were a boy?

That wears.

No. I mean, it's different.

But everyone's different.

Look at me.

I'm a girl who likes extreme sport, can't dance kicking, hates watching TV.

People have thought I'm a freak my whole life.

Really?

People will guess it, you know.

A lot of them might even be cool.

Yeah, right.

I'm serious.

Everyone's got their things.

This is just your thing.

Just. Okay, so it's not just anything.

But I like you for who you are and that's it.

And if I think that, why wouldn't other people?

Thought of everyone now and it's... I don't know.

Scary.

Scary how?

When people think I'm a boy.

It doesn't feel like pretending.

The bit when I'm correcting people, going into the girl's blues, that's the

when I'm not being real.

Oi!

Enjoying our little outing, are we?

I think we'd better go and see Mr Byrne, don't you?

Come on.

Zoe, I know it's your first day, but I'm sure that you're aware attendance is a

prerequisite to being a pupil here.

Yes, sir. And if you were hoping to get off to a good start, then I'm afraid

you've failed. Who's her form tutor?

Mr Chalk.

I'll have a word. Make sure he knows to keep an eye. Right.

Off you go.

That's for you, Casey.

Please, just let me play. I'll do anything.

This is about your education. This is not about football.

I'm afraid I've no choice but to put you back in the PRU. What?

Would you take her back down there, Mr Clarkson? Inform Miss Boston, please.

Go on.

This is ridiculous.

Are you sure about this? The PRU wasn't designed to be held over people's heads

as a punishment.

Casey was only brought back into the mainstream on a probationary basis. It

seems entirely appropriate to send her back to the PRU.

even though she's been improving steadily in the mainstream.

There's no evidence of that based on today.

Barry's also been improving, by the way.

That's something we might jeopardise by putting him and Casey back together

again.

Well, I just hope this doesn't knock them both back to square one.

This is so stupid.

I've been playing her for the last month and no -one's cared.

I belong on that team, you know I do.

Ben's the only one making this into a big deal. Well, unfortunately, he's the

man in charge. Come on, let's get this over with.

Miss? Yeah?

Is it all right if I take a copy of Romeo and Juliet back to the schoolhouse

Jade? Yes, good idea, Jodie.

In fact, come back to me at the end of the day and I'll get together a pack of

everything she needs.

Swap.

All right, carry on with your quiet study time.

I hope they got rid of her.

Looks like she's back in the special unit, then.

I was hoping not to see you in here again.

You think I want to be here? Oi, mouth.

With a bit of hard work, it's only temporary.

And why should I bother doing that? All right, enough, Casey.

Now... You need to catch up so you can have a stay with me in the P .I .U. at

lunchtime. You mean I don't even get to watch the football?

Well, that's a bit over the top, isn't it? None of you care, do you?

About what I want, how I feel. I just wanted one day.

One day to try and... Katie!

For goodness sake!

It's fine. I'm all right.

Let me see.

I'd better take her down to the nurse just in case.

Yeah.

Well, looks like Michael made the right decision.

Didn't know we were hiring.

Connor's been picked for the footy team.

I just thought it'd be nice to show some support.

Well, as the team's new number one fan, I hope you won't be baying for my blood

over Casey Barry as well.

Hardly.

Everyone wants to win this match, Michael, but the rules are the rules.

Well, that's the oranges, juice, water. That should keep the little tykes

energised in the second half.

I'm sure you've got everything under control, Maggie.

Not checking up on us, then.

Glad

I

caught up with you.

We didn't really get a chance to talk, not properly.

Let me buy you a coffee.

I'm just starting to be the mother Connor deserves.

Let me just concentrate on that for now.

And you and him are good?

Better than we have been in a really long time.

Great.

You deserve it.

What's the verdict on the hand?

It bruised, I thought.

It's a match, if that's what you're asking.

Look, Katie.

If there's anything I can do, I would.

Whatever. Do you think this match means any less to me than it does to you? It

must do. You wouldn't let Ben do this.

Seeing you lot rise to the challenge, that's the best thing I've done since I

got here.

We can't give up now. We just can't.

If you play and we get caught... We get disqualified.

I don't care. We've got to try.

There's a good chance that Mr Byrne wouldn't even allow a football team next

term. And definitely not one with me and you involved.

Bringing that cup home, though.

I've never been good at anything my whole life.

All everyone's seen me as is just another useless baddie.

But I can do this.

I can win this match for us, I swear.

You knew you wanted to.

You'd better get that hand wrapped tight.

We don't want it getting knocked.

During the game? Yes.

We need the rest of the team to agree to it first.

The other way. You want to win, don't you?

Come on, Watley Road.

Right, lads.

Gather in.

We have to make everyone believe that Casey's a lad like the rest of you.

Isn't that what we've been doing all tournament?

Yeah. But now Mr Byrne isn't on side. So if we get caught out, we could face

disqualification. We have to be ready for that. So you're going to let her

If everyone's in agreement, yeah.

Well, she's scored in every game so far.

We need her.

Yeah? Yeah.

Right, then.

Now, we've all seen St Dominic's play. We know how strong they are.

Tight in defence.

Dangerous in attack.

But we're better than them.

Better on the pitch and better up here.

Because we're a team.

Thinking and operating as one unit.

Looking out for each other.

Supporting each other. Because that's the only way that we're going to show

what we're made of and bring that trophy where it belongs.

And where's that?

What are you doing? I can't hear you. What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Get out of there, man. Do it. Get out.

Mr. Bernstein, you let me handle it, all right?

Go and get changed.

Get warm.

Hold tight.

Come on, Kate. You can do this.

Michael not here yet, then?

I hope you know what you're doing.

Yeah, my job.

Jack.

I was careful we stopped after some munchies or something.

Go, Casey!

I'm not interested in any stupid final, let alone take tips from you. Keep your

mouth shut, yeah?

Oh, I get it. This thing's totally bent. Is there something going on over here?

Just a friendly discussion, Miss. You know what it's like.

Scamming everyone left, right and centre.

Taking bets on a football game, but only if they put money on Waterloo Road to

win. Is this true?

No way.

Compulsive liar, that one. I know what you're like. You wouldn't put bets on

unless you thought you could win.

Is Casey in on this?

Is she going to throw the game? Rhiannon, go inside.

Hand it over.

It wasn't a request.

Turn out your pockets.

You what? Now.

Come on, miss.

You know you don't want to do this.

I will be going through this list and returning the money to its rightful

You can't do that. Watch me.

You can report to me at registration tomorrow. You're back on special

Why do you even bother taking me off? Because I believe in you, Barry.

I just wish you believed in yourself.

And if what Rhiannon says is true, and you have involved your sister in this, I

suggest you think about how much she means to you and about how much this

means to her.

Captain. Go on.

Shake hands.

Heads or tails?

Heads.

Heads it is.

We love this, Dad. Can I have a kick off?

We've got centre, lads. Let's do this.

Come on, boys!

Shouldn't you be at the gate? I'm just on my way there now, but I wanted to

to you first.

I think I owe you an apology for earlier.

I can't. Just hear me out, OK?

I was very forward.

I pushed.

I want you to know that I'm willing to move at your pace, whatever that is.

Do you think you'll like it?

Once we've finished, all the boys will want one.

Are those through an item or what?

Don't think so. Looks like they want to be, though.

Hmm.

Maybe someone else is having trouble saying how they really feel.

You get more nervous than they do.

I remember being in the cup final when I was at school. I got so nervous I

couldn't stop throwing up.

Did you win?

That's all but second time lucky.

Manon!

Talk to each other!

Will you please tell me what you think you're doing? Helping these kids achieve

something. What are you doing?

The game's already kicked off. There's not much we can do about it now. Unless

you want to punish the whole team.

To Jack! To Jack!

Go on, Casey!

Oh,

Imogen. It's so masculine.

Really intense, just like me.

Lays it out.

I'll wear it for him.

Don't take this the wrong way, but maybe you're better off just buying Connor

from us.

No, it had to be more personal than that.

And I owe yous personal.

This is important, Scout.

Really mess things up.

Well done, lad. You get puppy sweet and drink.

You've a great idea.

Seriously. Case.

What I said earlier about the betting and that, just ignore me, yeah?

You play your heart out.

I'd love to hear you justify going against my specific instructions.

I don't need to justify it. I brought the rules when against your authority.

Casey's finally engaged with this school, invested in it.

Football's done that, not the iron fist.

He won't get an apology out of me. Right, I need to see you later on.

Okay, look, I'm just going to come out with it because someone has to.

I mean, is he really worth it after everything he did?

He's put all that behind us now.

Are you sure?

We have.

I'm just saying, if someone had hit me like that, I'd want to see what other

lads had to offer.

Parting me was the worst thing that ever happened to him.

I swear, you don't know what it did to him.

He really loves me, Scout.

And I really love him.

Why don't you take a breather, Brantley? You look like you could do with it.

Brantley Budgeon is a lot of things, but he is not a good one.

Since when?

Come on, lads! Let's go!

So, what shall we do?

Well, you go back to school. I'll handle this, all right?

That's buying an order.

Casey, what was all that about?

I wasn't supposed to... They found out. Not that.

You and Shelby.

I don't know what that was.

You know, you can talk to me.

I mean, if you were near her, you can say.

I've got to go.

Connor, wait.

I need to talk to you.

I haven't got cold feet, I promise.

The last thing I want to do is call anything off.

Then why knock the ring back?

Why flirt with Jack and then not even turn up to see me play? I wasn't

with Jack.

I missed you when you were in the PRU, that's all.

I didn't knock the ring back.

I loved the ring, but...

But what?

Just got so freaked out they thought I've everyone known.

Why? Everyone's going to be pleased for us.

My mum won't be.

I haven't told her we're seeing each other again, let alone planning to, you

know. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.

I got this totally wrong, didn't I?

I think we have to work on this communication thing.

I made you this.

It's pretty lame and I had to get a scout to help me because I'm so useless.

That's great.

I thought I could maybe wear the ring on my necklace.

Until I get mum on side.

Seriously?

From now on, I promise to be honest with what's bothering me.

Well, I know we said we'd treat you like one of the lads, but... Sorry.

No, no, I mean, they hear all you want.

There's not much to see here anyway, is there?

I'll just...

You think you're such a big man, don't you? Well, just do one, Lizzie, yeah?

Casey needs your support, not your mindless prejudice. Look, I can see how

get the wrong end of the stick.

A girl playing football, short hair and all that.

But Casey's normal.

She's not a freak like you. You really don't understand her, do you? Don't talk

to me about my family.

It's not about who she wants to sleep with. It's about who she is inside.

But you're not about who she is.

No one knows Casey better than me. Really? And do you know that inside

a girl at all?

Oi!

What did you just say?

You heard me.

Haven't you made enough of a nuisance of yourself today?

I think you should report to Mr Clarkson, don't you?

Go on.

As for you two miscreants, five minutes to cool down that temper before you head

back to class.

You, Casey, get changed.

Now!

Dole don't understand why I'm the one having to defend myself here.

Because, Zoe, you're the one that's been causing trouble all morning. That's

why. I know what it looked like with me and Casey out there, but she'd never

have done that if it wasn't for him. Done what?

Pushed me away.

To be honest, Zoe, it's more your attitude that I'm bothered about. Day

skipping school, disrupted behaviour.

Someone had to put him in his place. Put Barry in his place? I can tell you

haven't been here that long.

It's all very good that you want to stand up for yourself, but why don't you

keeping your nose clean for, say, what, a few hours?

Can I go and see Casey, please?

This is a school, not a social club. Please.

I want to tell her that it's OK, that I understand.

You're losing me here a bit, Zoe.

No, you get it.

You're one of the only ones that does.

What?

You've been letting her play as a boy for ages.

Pity other people aren't so enlightened.

She needs people like us.

People who accept her for who she really is.

All right.

Now that you're all here, let me just say this.

Attendance at this school is not optional. You do not duck out whenever

fancy it.

I've heard of somewhere like that.

What is it?

Oh, yeah, prison.

Casey has proved today that she hasn't understood this basic rule, so I can

presume that the rest of you haven't either.

Oh, here we go.

What are we getting dragged into it for? She's the one who bumped off.

We're a unit.

And if one person steps out of line, then they let the whole unit down. So

fair. I get it.

Supposed to teach us about loyalty.

Yeah, loyalty.

And responsibility amongst other things.

Right, on your feet.

On your feet!

In the line!

File out!

If I come back with sweat patches, I'm going to kill you.

Now!

Her tears fell with the dews at even.

Her tears fell ere the dews were dried.

She could not look on, sweet heaven, either at morn or even side.

Thank you, Imogen.

Now, I'll continue reading, please.

Please.

Sorry. Hello?

Do I like that study group earlier?

So you've been thinking, right? I've come up with a plan.

Oh, wait a minute.

I thought maybe we could maybe boot them a table at a restaurant, find some way

to get them both there.

No, not a good idea.

Come on, they obviously like each other.

Look, I know you're trying to help, but Mum's just not ready.

She's not ready to be happy.

I don't want her getting hurt again, especially not by him and the way he

last week.

Look, I'm sure she'd be happy to know you're looking out for her, but she's a

grown woman, Connor.

Can't look after her forever.

Besides, he's not bad looking, but an older guy.

Yeah.

Come on, Rhiannon, the slower you go, the longer it flipping takes.

Don't blame me, it's not my fault. Listen to the chat, please. Head

start doing laps to the playground.

Casey, hang on.

You want to talk to me about anything?

Like what, miss?

Look, I know I'm not...

Touchy -feely as some of the others here, but I'm hard on you for a reason.

want to push you so that you do better.

I do care.

You know?

You can talk to me.

About anything, anytime.

Can't I just join the others?

No, actually.

Go and clear out the stationary cupboard, then go upstairs and put a

every desk. Here's the key code.

Hang on.

Go on.

Yes, mate.

My booty star.

Shame you couldn't see me play.

It's actually not that bad.

I was there in spirit, backing you all the way.

I know there's been a lot going on lately.

There's only one way of putting it.

But me and you were okay.

I mean, I'm here for you, whatever.

All I want is for you to be happy.

Connor.

You're a good boy.

Are you happy, though, Mum?

Well, as long as me and you are back on track, that's all that matters.

Yeah, but that can't be your whole life.

Well, for now it can.

It's going to take me a while to make things up to you, and until I do, you

my priority.

So you're going to put everything on hold for me?

Connor, where's this coming from? You don't have to worry about me.

See you at home, then.

Yes.

Well? Close this pan here.

Sir.

Imogen, what can I do for you?

Actually, I was wondering if we could have a chat after school.

It's kind of sensitive.

Okay, no problem.

Your office, end of period six?

Sure.

There's one company.

Did you tell that Zoe you were a boy?

I didn't tell her. She made you, is that it?

Maybe it makes her feel better for fancying girls if she can make out

boy. It wasn't like that. Then what?

What was it like?

You want the truth?

Mm -hmm.

What have you done?

I learnt how to do it on a website.

A website?

What? I didn't even know I was looking for it, and then I was going on it all

the time, but... Don't say anything else.

It's about how to make yourself pass as a boy.

So they could like some experiment, yeah?

Some prank?

No. Well, what is it then?

It's who I am.

I can't help it.

Are you a letter?

Is that it?

It's got nothing to do with that.

It's about me, my body. It's not right and it's not mine.

Today was supposed to be some sort of test.

What? To see if I could really do it.

Be who I am.

Properly.

This is my fault.

Always letting your tag along with me.

Treating you like one of the boys.

No wonder you got confused.

But we're going to fix all this case. We're going to make it better. You want

be normal, don't you?

Do you want to be me?

What are you doing?

You're a girl.

And I'm going to prove it.

Look at me!

of abuse to this old body, and then what do you do, eh? You volunteer to be a

linesman. What possessed you?

Might have been a bit gum -ho.

I do think I might be coming down with something.

Could be flu.

Man flu, you mean.

There's little Jada coming back to school tomorrow, barely a week after

birth, and here's you, mourning about having the sniffles.

Good job I've got you to keep me on my toes, isn't it? Isn't it?

Come on, let's get you home.

If you're lucky and you pull your cards right, I'll make you a hot toddy.

An offer no sane man could refuse.

Where is Kitty now? She's gone in hospital care.

Tom. Do you have any idea how damaging it could be for a girl who's confused

about her gender to feel pressured into behaving like a boy for the sake of a

football match? Yes, I do. Look, if I had any idea that Casey was feeling that

way, then obviously I would have never have done it. None of us would. Yes, but

you were the one who allowed the situation to escalate by putting your

agenda before a pupil's knee. But I honestly thought that I was doing what

best for Casey.

Well, you weren't.

Casey has a potentially very difficult journey ahead of her, and this is the

last thing that she needs.

And I'm going to do whatever I can to make it up for her.

Support her in any way that I can with this. I'm sorry, but I don't think

going to be possible.

I'm suspending you pending an inquiry into your behaviour.

What? Come on!

Tom, I'm sorry, but I think it's best that you don't finish the day, OK?

For the record, it was never just about the winning.

We will work with an educational psychologist and support you however we

We're going to make sure you get the help you need with this, OK? Help me?

I don't even know what this is.

You here, Barry?

You think I'm a freak?

It might take some people a bit of time.

And my family.

And Mum will be ten times worse. I mean, I can't... There's no way.

Maybe it can be normal if I tried really hard at it. I don't have to be like

this.

Sorry to interrupt.

I was just reassuring Casey that we're here.

Whatever she needs, but... Whenever she needs it. I don't think I can do this.

No one thought you could play football either, but you proved them wrong.

Do you know what I think?

I think you can do anything that you put your mind to.

I owe you an apology.

If I'd have known you were feeling like this, there's no way I'd have asked you

to play as a boy.

You didn't make me. I wanted to.

Well, I pushed you.

It wasn't fair.

From now on...

No -one's going to make you do anything that you're not ready for.

What if I end up alone?

That will not happen, OK?

I was going to act as Casey's pastoral care mentor, but if you'd rather... No,

you go ahead.

Where are you going?

If you need anything, Mrs Diamond knows how to get in touch with me. Tom?

I'm sure it's only temporary.

Sir?

You did the right thing.

Thanks for letting me play.

You're very welcome.

Sitting in silence isn't gonna help anyone.

Barry, it's natural for you to feel thrown by this.

Bottling up your feelings.

Laughing out.

OK.

Confused and frightened.

Actually, it's tough.

How about him?

Leave her alone.

Kate! Casey!

Sir? Now's not the time, boys. We need your help, sir. It's about Casey.

I've just told Casey we'll support her however we can.

The same goes for you, Barry.

Obviously, this isn't going to be easy, but I know how much she means to you.

She?

Excuse me?

How much she means to me.

My sister, yeah?

I don't know.

Using that kind of language isn't going to help anybody.

You think I'm just going to watch her turn into some joke and say nothing?

Act like everything's all right?

To be honest, I don't really think you're going to have much choice. She's

always going to be your family.

She is nothing to me.

She does this.

Blackens our name.

Has everyone talking about her, saying things.

She might as well be dead. Calm down.

Don't tell me what to do.

You don't know me.

I know that you're desperate to prove you're a man.

This kind of behaviour, it just proves the opposite.

You think I'm not a man?

I'm a boy, am I?

Am I a boy to you?

I've kept you long enough.

You can go.

I'll borrow you for a minute.

Actually, sir, I just want... It won't take long. I promise.

What's all this?

Well, we didn't want you to rush off without giving you this.

Match ball?

Man of the match.

You OK with that?

Man of the match?

You deserve it.

It's like Mr Clarkson said.

We're a team.

We'll look out for each other.

There's the fellow who'd never played a game of footy before today.

They nearly saved every ball that St Dominic's got on target.

There's a hidden talent.

Thanks.

Thanks?

You don't think you're getting off that easy, do you?

I

was

just on my way out when they nabbed me.

It's a very heartening sight.

You certainly galvanised them into a team.

That was over the top.

Look, the football association has called me.

We are being strictly the winners.

I'll let them know. No, leave it until tomorrow.

I think they deserve to feel like winners for at least one night, don't

And then this time next week...

You can begin thinking about next season.

I'm not sure I'll be there next week, will I?

Tom, rules are rules.

And they're there for a reason, but I think these kids would be a lot worse

without someone who was willing to break them every now and then.

Is that your way of saying I'll see you in the morning?

Don't be late.

You look like you've had a long day.

Well, aren't they all?

But this one seems to have sorted itself out, even if we won't have our name on

that trophy.

It would have been nice, but... It's not all about the winning, is it?

Anyway, thanks for stopping in, but I have a pupil meeting me here any minute

now.

Then why did you ask to see me?

I didn't. Well, I think you did. You left this on my desk.

That's not my handwriting.

Which people are you expecting?

Imogen. Imogen.

Connor must have written this with his left hand.

A little.

So,

we've been had.

Is that what you're saying?

Oh.

The plot thickens.

A dinner reservation for two.

It's quite a nice Italian, as it happens.

So you think we should play along, do you?

Well, they do seem to have gone to an awful lot of bother.

Yeah, it'd be rude just to throw it back in their faces. Yeah, and it has been a

very long day.

I don't suppose there's any notes in there to pay for, Dylan?

Nope. Remind me to give my son a stern talking to when I get home.

Sorry if I made everything worse.

Kissing you like that.

You didn't. It just took me by surprise, that's all.

I just... I like you.

And I was proud of you and I thought... It was nice.

But I don't think... I mean...

I don't think I'm ready for that kind of thing.

What do you mean?

With anyone for probably a while.

I just think I need to get used to being me first.

I don't think I could have handled any of today if it wasn't for you.

So, what now?

No idea.

Hey. I'm walking out.

Mommy now.

You getting around?

Out the border yet?

Would you like to go have tea?

Lasagne and chips, followed by a candlelight kiss?

I've not really thought about it.

I'm not sure I want to.

Oh, sorry.

I wasn't thinking.

I guess it would be pretty awkward.

Having Mr Burn as your new dad?

As long as I treat my mum better than my real dad did.

I haven't really mentioned him since the visit.

Do you want to talk?

One day.

But from now on, I want this family to have only good things to look forward

Well, I can think of one really great thing coming up.

Do you think we'll ever be able to tell our parents?

Have them be happy for us?

Yeah, definitely.

Promise?

Me and you are going to live happily ever after, and nothing's going to get

the way of that.

Cross my heart.

As long as we love each other, nothing can go wrong, can it?

Never knew pain like this, never knew love

like this, the sun see

you and I.

Never knew pain, never knew shame, now I know why.

Oh,

my God.

It's him.

Barry. I'm stuck!

Don't even think about anything about it.

If that's you, you'll go and get all the kids back.

Hey, love, come on.

What are you doing here?

I want to be a proper mom.

Give me another chance.
