I'll be in the waiting room. Just be brave.

OK. This may seem bad, really bad,

but don't worry.

It's actually lots worse.

Please don't sue the school. I'm here for you.

Think we better do a rewind.

I can't believe you're bunking off to go and do an escape room.

I'm not bunking off. I'm a teacher.

It's called "sneaking out".

Reminds me of when I was young,

ducking out of choir practice to go LARPing,

until mum found my chainmail bikini!

Why do parents insists on having a past? It's disgusting.

Urgh!

Jim, what about practice?

We've got a match later.

Don't worry. The Chipmunks are the worst team in the league.

And it's not like we'll be able to get in the gym this morning anyway,

what with the celebrity visit.

What celebrity visit?

Nicola Adams is coming to Midvale?

She's totally my hero.

First female Olympic Boxing Champion,

first female double Olympic Boxing Champion, WBO Champion,

and winner of literally every title she could possibly win.

AOIFE EXHALES

She's an overachiever, like me.

We have to hang out.

We're so gonna be besties.

Wait. Why didn't they tell everyone about this?

They did. That's why everyone's in boxing gear.

Ah!

I did think that was a bit weird.

We need to go and see her - now!

We already did...

We came in early to beat the queue.

How big's the queue?

Really big!

And so slow.

Who knew sporting superstars would be so popular?

AOIFE SIGHS

Only five more minutes and then back to class.

Not you, Nicola Adams.

"Five minutes"?

SCOFFS: I'll never make it. Urgh!

Unless I have an inspired play!

GASPS

INAUDIBLE

What are you doing?

Clanger's gonna ask out Jessica.

She's on a break from Jamie.

I didn't even know they were going out again.

Yeah-huh. But it's off again now.

She said, on her social, she needed space to grow.

And he said she's been... Hey.

Stop talking about people who aren't me.

I'm supposed to be making my move here.

And hiding on the stairs is your move?

I'm not "hiding on the stairs".

I'm scooping out the territory before Conor moves in.

I thought it was your move?

Conor's my wingman.

It's like a sidekick, only cooler.

Ben's off ill.

Conor will have to do.

Why do you need a wingman to ask Jessica on a date?

Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte...

You have to understand,

girls are very skittish creatures.

You can't just ask them out - they might panic.

They need to be warmed up first, put at their ease.

Hence the need for a wingman.

Wow!

How interesting.

Tell me more.

No need - just watch and learn.

Jessica, hi.

What do you want?

Nothing. That's a...

That's a really nice tie.

Now who's the skittish one?

OK. I'm just gonna come out and say this -

never speak to me.

Ever.

All right?

H-h-h-i-i, J...

You as well. Never.

HE STAMMERS

MUMBLING

And there's the panic.

Also, no animal noises.

You need help.

Come with me.

Here we are.

Ready for your first escape room experience?

Are you sure this is it?

Yeah!

Exciting, innit?

Every escape room has its own theme.

And a series of clues we have to crack if we want to get out.

This must be

Weird, Dark Alley.

It's all part of the fun.

CHUCKLES

Well, I hope the fun doesn't involve getting bitten by rats.

I've got hot yoga at four.

Is that a one or a seven?

Definitely a seven.

Excuse me. Watch out.

Coming through.

The Drama Club are doing Treasure Island.

No harm in borrowing some crutches of a fictional pirate!

Injured girl. Can't queue.

Leg hurts.

Wow. I'm such a genius. Why are you on crutches?

SCREAMS

Sorry. I'll rephrase that.

Why are you screaming at me on crutches?

I hurt my leg.

Obviously. How?

Well...

...I did it...

...on - ha! - a trophy.

You hurt your leg on a trophy?

A trophy cabinet - mm-hm -

fell on me.

My trophy cabinet? My trophy cabinet fell on you and you hurt your leg?

Is that what you're saying?

Yes.

An injury on school property

due to faulty furniture maintenance.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

I hoped this day would never come.

We have to inform your parent at once.

No! Nicola Adams!

We have to hang out. I'm the next you!

Urgh!

To win over Jessica, first we need to deal with your energy.

It's too aggressive.

What do you mean aggressive?

Yes, just like that.

You have to let go.

Let's see you in a relaxed neutral pose.

Try with a smile?

No, a smile.

This could take a while.

It's just a load of bins.

Bins and a sign saying, "Entrance".

Doesn't that say, "No entrance",

but the "No" has come off?

Yeah, exactly - with escape rooms, everything has a hidden meaning.

Oh. OK, I get it.

So, that fire-damaged old mattress means "no smoking"?

Bingo! And that bucket of broken phones means "no phones allowed"?

Yes. We'll have to leave them here.

SHE CHUCKLES

Wow!

There's even a puzzle to get into the room.

Have a look around.

There should be something to help us.

HEAVENLY CHORUS

Milady?

PHONE BUZZES

Fingers crossed my mum doesn't answer the phone.

Oh! No answer.

Well, there's only one thing for it.

Let me off lessons and have a private one-on-one with Nicola Adams?

No, take you to hospital.

A hospital?

You know, I think my leg's starting to feel a bit better.

Better? From being crushed by a trophy cabinet?

Better-ish.

Aoife, there's no need to put a brave face on this.

My elbow was once mashed by a sideboard.

I know what you're dealing with, and I'm here for you.

Is he actually being nice?

Until the school, and more importantly, me personally,

are in the clear.

Now let's get you to A&E.

Wait, no! I need to meet her.

You're depriving her of my friendship!

GULPS

BURPS

? Where you at? Where you at? Show me, show me...#

SIPS

GROWLS

SIGHS

I'm stuck in a boring hospital miles away from Nicola Adams.

My genius play has totally backfired.

But on the plus side...

Here's your hot chocolate.

Thanks, sir.

Oh, and the crisps, too!

They were for me. Ooh!

Fine.

Why not?

This is awful.

I'm supposed to be at school

currying favour with the sport woman.

I've been practising my selfie face for a week.

That's all wasted effort now, thanks to your leg.

Is he glaring at my leg? Ooh.

Ow, it hurts.

Sorry.

Is there anything else I can get you?

Maybe a huge cookie?

A hu...

Yes, of course.

No problem.

Maybe I am a genius after all.

Although, having a fake injury might be a bit of a problem

for the game this afternoon.

I better tell the girls.

They'll help me to stage a miraculous recovery!

CHEERING IN BACKGROUND

Aoife, where are you?

Holt's taking me to hospital, but...

Sorry, did you say you're in hospital?!

I can't hear you over all the cheering.

It's OK. There was a queue and...

Wait, why is there cheering?

Oh, Nicola's taking us for a demonstration.

Hands up.

Go, Nyla!

Wait, I'm missing a training session with Nicola Adams?

Yeah. It's brilliant.

But why are you in hospital? What's wrong?

It's fine. Holt just saw me on crutches and...

You're on crutches? Is it...

Is it your leg?

No, not exactly.

Well, you see...

Why is it so hard to explain my web of lies?

Nicola's gonna watch our game.

GASPS

Wait, what? Aoife's injured, so she won't be able to play.

No, it's a fake injury.

What?

Oops.

Did you just say you've got a fake injury?

No, I said fake "ninjury".

What's a fake ninjury?

It's like a normal ninjury,

but fake.

I was practising some ninja moves when the cabinet fell on my leg.

So, it's your fault? The fake ninjury caused the accident?

I'm in the clear?

No. The ninja move saved my leg,

otherwise it would been way worse.

So, you have hurt your leg?

Well, uh...

She's such a faker.

I'm starting to wonder if this whole fake injury thing

might have been a mistake.

Right. Let's get you to X-ray.

GROANS

You're close to perfect.

Now try it on Jessica.

Remind me why I agreed to this.

Use the line I gave you.

SHOUTS: I'm gonna buy you milk!

No, no!

It's, "Can I buy you a milkshake?"

Can I buy you a milkshake?

Can I...

...buy you...

...a milkshake?

Can I...

...buy you...

...a milkshake?

CLEARS THROAT

OK, good.

Now to Jessica.

Can I...

...buy you...

a milk... shake?

Yes! The answer's yes!

One last thing.

Gentlemen, I believe we are ready.

I thought it would be a bit more fantastical, like a submarine

or a dungeon.

Who'd want to escape from an office?

A-ha! Egyptian tombs and pirate ships are old hat.

Here, who knows?

I mean, what's the significance of THIS?

What secrets does it hold?

Well, it says "Keith" on it.

Huh?

Wow! Keith!

What does it mean?

Keith is the key. Of course!

Quick, find something belonging to Keith.

I found his coat.

Go through the pockets.

Oh, uh, behind it on the wall.

A key safe! A key.

I told you!

Urgh, it's locked!

Ah, we need the code.

Look for numbers.

This is so much fun!

Yeah.

OK. Time to put your training into practice - go!

Hang on.

I've got this sudden weird sensation, like I...

...I care what she thinks about me.

Yeah, that's feelings.

They're a good thing.

Use them.

I've never seen him like this.

I know.

I've tamed him.

I've created the perfect boyfriend.

You're not starting to fancy Clanger, are you?

What? No.

No, of course not.

This is bad, right?

I mean, doctors probably know all about injuries.

Hmm.

This is very unusual.

See? Is it serious? No.

Can't find anything wrong.

But we'll strap it up anyway.

Maybe it's a rare kind of injury,

one that heals really quickly

so you can go and hang out with iconic sporting stars.

DOCTOR CHUCKLES

I don't think so. But the X-ray will tell us what's what.

This had better not be some kind of ruse.

AOIFE CHUCKLES

Me? A ruse?

That seems unlikely.

He's onto me. Need to act quick.

Hey, is that a Boyosphere poster?

No, it's a poster about the streptococcus bacteria.

Oh, easy mistake to make.

Right.

Let's see what's what.

Wait. This is unbelievable.

I knew it. She's faking it, isn't she?

Why do I ever listen to injured children?

No, this isn't fake.

In fact, it's the most serious fracture I've ever seen.

We need to get you into surgery.

I'll be in the waiting room. Just be brave.

And this is where we came in.

Please don't sue the school.

I'm here for you.

The anaesthetist will be along soon.

OK, so, this seems like a desperate situation,

but my training has prepared me for desperate situations.

It's also prepared me for something else.

Something really important.

Running!

So, new plan - run back to school,

become best friends with Nicola Adams,

then go back to the hospital in time to pretend I've just left surgery.

Holt will never know.

It's gonna be fine.

Thanks.

What's up with Aoife's leg?

Thought she was faking,

but Holt says she's fractured it in ten places.

I feel so bad.

Won't bother me.

But you know what babies people are.

Charlotte, Jessica said she'll meet me before the game.

You're amazing.

What's up with him?

He seemed... nice.

Yeah, I did that.

Oh, my days.

Can you imagine me and Clanger?

GAGS

It's gonna be so funny when I show him up before the game

in front of the whole school.

PANTING

Made it.

Part one of our plan complete.

Now for part two.

Collapse onto bench.

Aoife? Are you all right?

She's burning up.

Must be a reaction to the injury.

Guys, seriously, I'm OK.

Aw!

She's so brave.

No, just listen. What happened was...

We got you a card.

"Wishing you a speedy recovery."

I forgot how much my friends would worry about me.

I've gotta put them straight.

Guys, about my leg.

Nicola Adams even signed it.

GASPS

She was so moved when we told her about your injury

that she wants to meet you personally.

She wants to meet me?

Great, isn't it?

So, what were you gonna say about your leg?

Ow!

Ooh, my leg.

It hurts.

Come on. Mm... We'll carry you to her.

I got my one-on-one after all!

Clanger, it's Jessica.

I know. Everything's Jessica.

The birds, the sun, the flowers.

He ripped those from a flowerbed. It was very romantic.

The delicate petals remind me of my new fragile feelings,

which would blow away at a single cruel word from her delicate lips.

Right.

It's so wonderful she likes me, isn't it?

Yeah, it's brilliant.

She's gonna destroy him.

Yeah, and I caused this,

so I have to find a way to fix it.

That's the last number from the filing cabinet.

No dice.

It's not taped under a drawer, either.

Maybe the clue's in this Keith character.

What do we know?

He likes Cyclic.

His grandkids visit at the weekends.

How'd you know that?

I've been through his diary.

It's so realistically boring.

Ugh.

Hang on.

If he's close to his grandkids,

maybe he'd like to be reminded of them every day.

SHE LAUGHS

42, 91.

4-2-9-1

Yes!

Urgh!

Brid - on the back!

A key! But what does it unlock?

The cabinet!

Oh! Another safe. Try the code.

4-2-9-1.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

That's weird. It's just full of money.

SIRENS

Jim? Maybe if we count how much there is,

we can use that number to...

Jim. Wow, those sirens sound like they're coming from outside.

Jim, I don't think this is an escape room!

SIRENS

I ought to say,

I've never actually done an escape room before.

Phones!

JIM GRUNTS

I've got five missed calls from Mr Holt.

Why has Mr Holt been ringing me?

Hey, you must be Aoife.

It's Nicola Adams. Play it cool.

No burbling.

Oh, wow, I can't believe it! I'm so excited!

It's brilliant. I'm a huge fan. Please be my friend!

You have to tell me everything.

That was OK, right?

OK, OK, calm down. What do you wanna know?

Everything. Tell me all your secrets.

I'm already a lot like you,

but how do I become exactly you?

Well, there's no secret.

You train hard, put the hours in,

stay positive, focused,

and you wait for your opportunity to come.

And when it does come, you have to grab it with both hands.

Wow!

That's amazing!

One of your friends said you couldn't play,

cos you're injured.

Do you wanna sit with me?

I'm gonna watch the game with my hero.

Slay! I mean, I know I'm letting my team down,

but they'll beat the Chipmunks easily.

It's all good.

Although, I can't help feeling there's something I've forgotten.

Ah, Mr Holt.

I need to talk to you about Aoife O'Neil.

Is it bad news?

Is she suing the school?

No. I'm afraid she's disappeared.

"She's disappeared"?

Sorry, I'm conflicted. Give me a moment.

Yep. No, it's definitely bad news.

I'll help you look. Brilliant.

It's this way.

Jessica.

Oh, wow.

Has Clanger sent another of his little wingmen to warm me up?

No, I just... I know what you're planning.

Please don't do this.

Aw.

I really admire you for humiliating yourself on his behalf.

But, no.

GUITAR PLAYS

Clanger, wow.

What an entrance.

You must have something to say to me?

I do, Jessica.

CLANGER EXHALES

I... I... I...

I can't go out with you.

CROWD GASPS

What? Wait.

What? But...

I'm sorry. I know you're in love with me,

but I just can't accept any more flowers and chocolates.

It's just too much.

CROWD LAUGHS

No, but these aren't...

Jessica, you're just too needy.

I'm afraid it's a no from me.

LAUGHTER

No.

I'm knocking HIM back.

LAUGHTER

I am! Shut up!

Stop filming.

Shut up!

Bye-bye, Jessica.

That was brilliant!

Remind me why we did that.

Because you have a love much greater than Jessica.

Do I?

Of course.

Pranking!

I do.

I love pranking.

Clanger and pranking forever.

SIGHS: Look at him.

So wild, so free.

No-one will ever tame him.

I can't believe I'm about to watch a game with my hero, Nicola Adams!

I'm so happy.

Except, I feel a bit bad for letting my team down.

Poor Aoife, this must be really hard for her.

Is your leg OK? Yeah, yeah.

Bit sore, but it's OK.

We should keep an eye on her during the game, check she's OK.

Let's beat this rubbish team for her.

ALL: For Aoife!

Nyla!

Come on, Vipers.

Yes!

Come on, Vipers!

Come on, Vipers!

Nyla! Go on!

Go, go, go, go! Yes!

CROWD BOOS

Oh!

You look OK.

Don't look at me!

Oh, oh!

Oh, I think Aoife's crying.

Urgh!

Oh, she must be in a lot of pain.

How are the worst team in the league tearing us apart?

Zara!

Time for a replay.

So, I was like, Nicola Adams is totally my hero,

but then there was a stupid queue.

I'll never make it.

So I was like, "I've hurt my leg.

"Let me through. Can't queue."

But then Holt went, "I'm gonna take you to hospital."

And I swapped the X-rays,

which was a big mistake.

We need to get you into surgery.

Well, I was gonna tell my team, and then Nicola Adams was like,

"Why don't you sit with me?"

And I was like, "Slay."

But now we're losing to the Chipmunks,

and it's all my fault.

If only I didn't have this terrible fake injury.

Of course!

And you wait for your opportunity to come.

And when it does come, you have to grab it with both hands.

This is my opportunity to save the game in front of Nicola Adams!

This is my moment.

Zara, shove off.

Nyla!

Yes!

CHEERING

? You see me walk in, know I came to win it all...#

Yeah!

? I'm the champion I'm standing tall

? What I did and had to fight through I deserve it all

? That's why I wear the crown and never take it off

? Yeah, I'm up against the wall and fighting till I win

? I'm not giving in, I'm never giving up...#

Yes!

? I'm a winner and I'll fight until my hand's up...#

Yeah, Nyla!

Ow.

You are in a lot of trouble, young lady.

A lot of trouble.

WHISTLES

Game over.

I think I've hurt my arm.

Like we're gonna believe that.

Who knew having a fake injury

would have so many consequences?

At least Nicola understands.

That was unbelievable.

In a good way?

No, in a really bad way.

But I followed your advice and grabbed the opportunity,

just like you said.

You lied.

You faked.

You let your team down.

And you sat next to me under false pretences.

That's not what I meant.

It's not what I meant at all.

I just got sledged by Nicola Adams.

Legend!
