This programme contains some scenes of a sexual nature and some strong language

I'm reducing the scholarship programme from five places to three.

We've been thrown into the Hunger Games. No regrets.

Why can't he just let me stay here?

I'm really good at drama. You saw me.

I love this, Femi. Mwah!

Be my date for tonight's spring ball?

It's a boarding school, there's secrets everywhere.

No, no, no, no, no. Give 'em back.

You slept with my best friend, Jaheim.

I shouldn't have drawn those things in the first place.

Hi. This is my last night at St Gilbert's.

You really don't quit, do you?

For you? I can't.

We all stay. All five of us.

Anything else? Leah is the one that trashed your car.

And it really wouldn't be the same if we didn't all stay here together.

There is another place that I've referred you to.

It's also in the States and it's starting next term.

An exchange? That would mean saying goodbye to this place.

What do you think?

Man like Leah! Oi, oi. What you saying?

Bit dirty, innit? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You lot don't know how to knock? We knew you'd be up.

What if I was naked? Sorry. I've just eaten, thank you.

If you don't mind. Agh!

Yeah, no, I've never been in the girls' dorms before.

Yeah, it's because there's nothing here for you, mate.

LAUGHTER Yeah, for real.

What's your excuse?

What? I've been in loads of times. Oh, yeah, when?

Oh, when, when... Guys, as much as I'm loving discussing

Femi's sex life, or lack thereof, I need to get to class.

Yeah, well, first period's cancelled. What? Why?

Can we show her?

Brace yourself.

Bro, Abby's gone so you ain't getting any. Guys, what you talking about?

Shut up. Can you guys talk to me, please? What?

People! Yo!

Come on, piggy!

LAUGHTER

What the...? Actual fuck?

Yeah, what happened? Break-in.

Yes, I can see that. But how did they get past security?

Who - Stanley?

Fair point. Yeah, well, it wasn't a break-in.

No doors or windows were smashed.

They didn't climb over the gate. The...

What the...?

Oh. It's actually a pig!

Everyone's saying it was an inside job.

An inside job? What, really?

CHURCH ORGAN PLAYS

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Morning.

Still hating me.

Last night,

someone in this room thought it would be funny

to desecrate our beloved school.

PIGS SQUEAL

LAUGHTER

You can laugh all you want,

but the only people you are hurting are yourselves.

The school cannot and will not replace

the damaged books and equipment.

The limited resources will be your problem, which is particularly

pertinent to the Upper Sixth,

who are preparing for their A-level exams.

In addition to this, there will be a full lockdown.

No student will be allowed to leave school premises.

Oh, no seeing Abby for you.

Security will be tightened

and anyone who steps out of bounds

will be severely punished.

This will continue until the perpetrator comes forward.

Is she looking at me?

You all have a lot to be getting on with.

So get on with it.

How do you manage to find a zoot in this school? Huh?

What? You look paranoid.

Nah, just feels like everyone's staring at us.

Not us. You, dawg.

Why me? Ain't vandalism your ting?

Why would I fuck up my school this close to exams?

Ah, you got to admit, though, it's kind of funny.

No, it's not. This is our final-term exam season.

Everything is riding on these final weeks.

I don't know what you are saying, but Oxford wants two A stars from me

and an A. And I know your places want the same thing.

What was the point of enduring all of this madness

if we're just going to return home empty-handed?

Boy, I guess, er, you regret turning down

that American school now, eh, Jaheim? Ha-ha. Yeah,

I still can't believe you didn't take that place.

J?

What, and leave you lot crashing out like this?

No, man, you man need me.

Well, until they catch whoever did this, and Carol puts the school

back together, I say maybe we should link up, put in more study hours.

Just get... More hours?!

You're already working your fingers to the bone.

Mabel, do you want to take it down a couple decibels?

What, is my love for you too loud now? You work all day, all night,

you barely eat anything.

Also, I'm just going to say you haven't had your period recently.

Oh, my God, Mabel, why would you say that?

Well, it's clearly the stress.

Mm-hm.

Unless you're pregnant. I'm not pregnant. No.

Hmm? We're going to talk about that.

Periods are natural, OK? Grow up.

Well...

Teenage pregnancy does not mean the end to higher education.

Leah, it's OK. Most universities have creches now.

OK. I'm not pregnant and I'm not stressed.

What I am is weirded out about you following my menstrual cycle.

Since we've been living in the same dorm, I've noticed that our cycles

have been syncing up, and I've also noticed that you haven't bought... Is that Xiang? Oh.

What are you doing?

There's a glare from the window. It's getting in my eyes.

More secrets. There are no secrets, Mabel.

So many secrets. None!

"What is a friend? One soul dwelling in two bodies."

Socrates.

Aristotle. Stop deflecting.

OK. I will tell you if you just keep your voice down.

Xiang and I

may have,

possibly, after lots of alcohol...

...slept together.

You ARE pregnant! No.

Hi. Hi. What are you guys whispering about?

Leah's having Xiang's baby. No, no, no. There is... there is no baby

and I'm asking both of you to keep your mouth shut because

I don't want the whole world knowing, OK? I don't know what the big secret is.

You guys make such a cute couple. No, no couple.

We're not. It was just literally like a one-night thing.

OK, yeah, and he knows that, right?

Oh, Leah!

You should tell him.

He's a big boy, I'm sure that he'll understand.

I don't think he will, guys, come on.

Look at the messages he was sending me over the holidays.

Let me see.

"Been thinking about you."

"You crossed my mind, so I thought I'd say hey."

"Sagittarius is also my rising sign." Oh, my God.

He's really into you. Yeah, I'm not surprised.

Look at the messages that she's sending him.

"You're so funny, Xiang." Tee-hee-hee-hee-hee!

Listen, he sent me sweet messages,

so I sent sweet messages back.

Plus it was just really nice to get crushed on.

And why does that have to end?

Because it's Xiang.

What's wrong with Xiang?

He's cool, but, like, he's a geek.

But you are also a geek.

No, I'm not a geek.

Leah, I bet you have your Algebros T-shirt on under that.

Clock it! And you just corrected my knowledge of Greek

philosophers about 60 seconds ago. Yeah, and you...

All right, guys. Well, if you guys are done getting in my business,

I am going to go.

Eat something, please.

Thank you.

What are you saying?

What are you saying?! You must have called the wrong number

because my boyfriend would never greet me on the phone like that.

My girlfriend knows I'm from the roadside.

She likes it when I talk a little roadside.

Lucky girl.

Eh, cheers.

Funny enough, I'm actually seeing her tomorrow night.

Is that right? Yeah.

She goes to a different school to me now,

so I've got to trek through villages and bushes

and all that just to see her.

She must really be worth it.

Do you know what? I think she might be.

In fact, I sent her a little something-something.

Keep an eye out by the gates.

Abby Ashford? Yes, that's me.

Oh, thank you.

"Roses are red, violets are blue.

"Poetry ain't my ting, can't wait to smash..."

Abby, what's that?

Um, nothing.

HE TUTS What are you? The bogeyman?

How are we breaking out? What do you mean breaking out?

Don't play dumb.

I know you've figured out a way to sneak out after hours to visit Abby.

The things you boys do for a little...

OK, well, you heard Carol.

We're on lockdown. Hmm.

Got to stick to the rules. Hmm.

Hey. What are you..?

Give me that back.

What's the bolt cutters for?

Hmm?

What are you so desperate to break out for, anyway?

We want revenge on Caldwell College.

It was them who trashed the school.

The only sports equipment that was trashed was the girls' hockey stuff.

It's a long-standing rivalry. You wouldn't understand.

Exactly. See, I wouldn't understand.

So, please, keep me out of it.

Well, you either let us break out with you

or we break out ourselves -

potentially getting caught and messing it up for all of us,

including you.

SHE EXHALES HEAVILY

So, you've decided to go to the States.

When are you meant to leave?

A couple of days.

How are you feeling?

Excited,

nervous, scared.

All the emotions, man.

In Malaysia, it's often tradition on special occasions to give

a red envelope filled with money.

Is it? Yeah.

But we're not in Malaysia.

You're a dickhead.

How about a hug, instead?

Say nothing, bro.

I don't know if I can leave my friends.

Yeah. Stop making excuses.

OK, mate, that's enough.

OK.

Just don't tell anyone, yeah?

You know, they'll be pleased for you.

I know they will.

That's the problem. Them getting all excited

will just make this into a fucking bigger deal.

I'll do you this favour if you do me a favour.

So, me and Leah...

You and Leah?

That's you, yeah?

That's me. All right!

MUSIC PLAYS ON LAPTOP

Wagwan?

You lot really need to start knocking.

You good?

Last term, I just spent so much time running riot,

trashing Carol's car,

warring with Devonye. I remember.

I kind of let the ball drop on my coursework,

meaning everything is counting on these exams,

and I'm stressing.

Hmm.

What about an ARP?

Look, let me show you.

Um, sorry...

Aha. ARP.

Advanced research project, yeah?

Mm-hm. Yeah.

Boom. Yeah? Mm-hm.

It just helps you get extra Ucas points,

and if you're slacking on, bumps 'em up a little bit.

OK.

This is perfect.

Mm-hm.

It's a bit more work, though. Sure you need that right now?

Oh, one more thing.

What?

Er, Xiang asked me to put in a good word.

Get out. HE LAUGHS

Yo.

Yeah?

Sure you're going to be good, yeah?

You know how I do.

Calm.

Hey. Mm-hm?

You know man loves you, though.

You're all right, go on. HE LAUGHS

In a bit.

BELL RINGS

Goodness, how the night grows dark.

It does. It does.

Farewell.

I'll have George come for the rest of my things.

Thank you. Thank you. Take a seat.

A lot of Volkovich's language in his plays is incredibly sparse.

Nine Doves famously contains more stage directions than dialogue,

and Volkovich does this...

Sorry I'm late. Quickly, take a seat.

Thank you. As I was saying,

Volkovich does this as he wants to challenge

the actor to bring an emotional depth to the character.

What many have interpreted her to mean by this final line is,

is a plea to Igor,

longing for him to make her stay. A plea to Igor.

OK. Er, with that in mind, could I please have another Igor?

Yes. OK. You, over there. Sorry,

I will learn everybody's names.

And a Lyubov?

Yes! That would be me. Thank you.

OK, great.

Whenever you're ready.

HE CLEARS THROAT What shall we do with the clock?

I suppose I won't have much use for it. I'd like you to keep it.

I can do that.

Goodness.

How the night grows dark.

It does.

It does.

It does.

Farewell.

I'll have George to come and collect the rest of my things. Hmm.

TEACHER CLEARS THROAT STUDENTS GASP

I don't remember a kiss being scripted.

Um...

Well, you... you said that Lyubov wants Igor to make her stay,

and I felt that wasn't really, um,

reflected in the dialogue, so I improvised.

Right.

I'll have two more volunteers.

OK, we'll go for, er, Charlotte

and, er, William Jr.

BELL RINGS

Mistress. Not now, Leah.

I want to do an ARP.

Do you know what ARP is? Yes, I know what an ARP is.

It's an advanced research project. A presentation that I'll do with

a partner. It will help me gain Ucas points.

A lot of people do it to get into Oxbridge and...

I don't have time for this.

You did say that this term will be a very important one.

If it's such an important term, it begs the question as to why

someone would cause such chaos during it.

It wasn't me.

Well, finding out who was behind it will continue

to be my number-one priority.

Everything else can wait.

I'm not going to go away.

LAUGHTER They're all diving in the pool and the guy goes,

"Yeah, that's great, but it'd be better if there's some water in it."

LAUGHTER

Carol.

Must be quite the surprise to see me. Not really.

I heard you from down the street.

How are you? You look tired.

Thank you. How's the job? Great.

Really? I heard otherwise from Felix.

As you can imagine, I'm a little concerned about his education.

I can't afford another dropout.

Rupert says hi.

I bet he does.

You got them, then?

I'm having someone look over them.

What, still? I was your wife for an incredibly long time, Alfie.

I want to make sure I'm well compensated for it.

And I just want to move on with my life.

What's the new one called?

Her name is Sun Li.

Felix tells me she's 27-and-a-half.

Yeah. Do let me know when you've signed them.

I'll be in the UK until you do.

Right, I'm going to shoot off. Come here.

Ah!

Ugh. Big term for Felix.

Can't allow anyone to derail that.

Maybe it's time to stop playing dress-up

and have someone with actual experience take over as head.

I'm not the only one that feels this way.

Hmm.

Do you feel that way?

You've been great, Mummy.

You have, but,

you know, it's a big term for me.

I'm barely keeping my head above water with the workload.

I'm having to contend with people ransacking the school.

And that's my fault? I'm not blaming you, Mum.

I'm just telling you how hard things are.

I was thinking -

what if I joined Dad in Hong Kong with Rupert?

Absolutely not. I know I'm smart, but just not Cambridge smart.

Then work harder. Dad can give me an entry-level job

and I can work my way up.

You are not being a failure, as well.

This has nothing to do with Cambridge.

This is about you proving to Dad that you're a good mother.

We're done here, Felix. You worry about me being a failure,

but that is exactly what's going to happen if you keep pushing...

I said, we're done here.

PHONE ALERT

SHE SIGHS

Ugh!

Lovely hair, you know.

Tell them, tell them, tell them now.

Tell them. There's nothing to tell.

Femi met a girl. OK.

No, but a girl who actually likes him.

What? Femi, oh, my God, this is huge. This is fucking huge!

It's not huge. It's not anything. Sweet buns,

it is everything.

I can't be thinking about girls right now.

There's always time to think about girls.

Always. Revision? Ow. Exams?

I have got a recall for drama school.

Oh! I'm this close!

Mate, she kissed you! She kissed you?

It was part of a scene in drama class,

so, you know.

Ah, but, um, was it a, er, you know,

mwah?

Or was it a

grr, grr!

Of the two, it was more of the second one.

Fuck, she wants you.

Do you reckon? Yes,

Femi. Oh, my God, yes.

This is a code red. We need to get the condoms now.

Get the condoms. Condoms! Not this crap again.

I've got the strawberry lube.

Maybe Fem-Fem's right. Maybe we should start with flowers, mate.

Ooh, flowers is a bit much.

No? Yeah, it's a bit much.

Yeah. More than condoms?

Well, how would you know? How would you know?

Amsterdam, holiday last gone.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

You lucky bastard.

Please, please, please, please. Full of it.

Please, please, stop, stop.

Both of you always give the worst advice.

SEB CLEARS THROAT

Maybe you should start by telling her

how you feel?

Ah. Oh. Hmm.

Hey.

CHILL-OUT MUSIC PLAYS

Do you like the music?

I... I mean, it's... it's not my cup of tea, but, yeah.

Yeah, I like it. Yeah? Favourite song so far?

Oh, they kind of all sound the same, but probably the one before this.

Hmm.

That's good to hear.

Nice ring.

You can wear it if you want to.

Yeah. Nice.

You can hang onto it for a bit.

BELL RINGS

Hey, I'll save you a seat? Yeah, sure. Thank you.

Hey, I'll save you a seat.

Thank you. Yeah. Very mature.

Rah, wait, wait, what's this, though?

What's...? Hey. LAUGHTER

Now, that looks kind of spenny.

Let me take that. Why? Careful, man, it's Jonny's. Relax.

You two are exchanging jewellery?

I didn't even know you two had kissed.

Yeah, well, you know, we... we have now, so...

And he asked me if I wanted to move in together.

Move in together? Do you...?

Don't you think that's a bit soon? Like, do you know his second name?

I mean, we're, we're both going to LSE

and I need to stay somewhere near the uni.

It makes sense, right? So it is serious?

I guess. You guess?

Do you like him? Like, is it...? Um...

Oof. Man said "um".

Blink three times if you're in trouble.

No, why would I be in trouble?

Well, it makes sense.

Look, we appreciate your growth and all of that,

but we just didn't think you'd be growing in this way.

Like, first this and then it's not going to art school.

Can we just leave it? I don't think art school leads

to viable career options.

You love art - live it, breathe it.

Man even bashes off to it. Exactly. OK, too much, too much, too much.

He does though, I seen him. All right, guys, look,

I appreciate all the help, honestly,

but I think I know what I'm doing.

Yeah.

What's this?

Er, don't read it now.

I mean, just not whilst I'm here.

But I want to. Er...

Wait there.

Jesus Christ!

Front and back. This is long.

Yeah, um... Ha!

Thought I... No.

"I can't stop thinking about the kiss we shared.

"It was amazing."

OK, this is incredibly soppy.

Yeah, um, I know, I just... I was just messing around.

It was... Oh, so you're fucking with me? No, no, no.

No, no. I mean, as in like I...

It's cheesy but the sentiment is real.

I see.

Well, it was cheesy but

sweet.

And I'd love to meet up with you.

Great. Great.

Um, er, I could book somewhere fancy.

Um, er, let me find out when I'm free.

Er, I'll get my planner.

Um...

I know we have curfew, so...

How about tonight? Tonight?

Yeah, it doesn't have to be fancy or anything.

We can just, like, hang out.

Hang out?

I... I love hanging out.

Hanging out is one of my favourite things to do, if not

the favourite thing I like to do.

Yeah, sounds like it. OK.

Um, yeah. OK, great.

Um, meet me at the Crypt?

Meet you at the Crypt. Eight o'clock.

I'll, er... Cool. I'll see you later.

See you. See you later. Bye.

HE LAUGHS QUIETLY

Is there something on my face?

No, seriously, is there something on my face?

Please tell me that's not the girl you're swooning over.

Yeah. Why?

Why, Graham?! No, seriously, why? Oh, Femi.

Oh. What's happening? What's sugared your apple?

Cheddar, do you know your sister does drama?

Right, why would I care and why is that so funny, hmm?

Just funny that your sister and one of your best mates

are in the same class.

Yeah, ha-ha-ha-ha, totes hilars, mate.

What's...? What's her name?

Her name's... SHOUTS: ..skank!

But her birth certificate says Pixie. Oh, is that how you normally

talk to women, you bloody incel?

Right, first of all, you're not a woman, are you? Aw, and you're a lanky streak of piss.

So glad to have you back.

Remind me, I'm supposed to say you were taking a gap year

and not mention rehab, right?

Yeah. Oh, oh, that's really good.

Did you learn that? What's it like being hated by our parents?

What is that like? Sozzles, mate.

Bros before hoes.

Bros before hoes.

Bros before hoes.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Blood fire!

You're avoiding me.

No, I just went to use the toilet.

That was a quick use of the toilet.

I'm guessing you... SHOUTS: ...didn't wash your hands!

OK, OK. I'm sorry. I just, um...

You have to admit it's kind of awkward.

Why?

Because, you know. We slept together?

Sh! Are you embarrassed of me?

No, I just don't like my business out a door.

I don't just sleep with anyone, Leah.

Me, neither.

So, what was I?

A fling?

Because that's not what your texts were saying.

No. No. Look,

if you want me to leave you alone, just say,

and I'll leave you alone.

No, man, I'm just going to see Abby, innit?

Rah. Is now the right time to be risking it all and that?

You know it's lockdown.

Why you sounding like Gus? I'm just saying, bro.

Fumbling the bag all for a ting is crazy, bro.

OK, but, bro, is she just a ting?

Like that?! What, wedding bells, yeah?

Hold on, no. Yeah! Hold on, hold on.

Yeah. Ha-ha-ha! Saying nothing. All right, listen,

All right. But wait, but, bro,

you lot are going Cambridge together, no? What, you can't wait?

She didn't even get in.

Damn.

You ain't tell me that.

Yeah, you know, barely even speaks about it.

Yeah. That's why I'm trying to see her as much as I can now

before I have to go back into the madness.

Hmm. Madness? What madness, though?

I don't know about you, I'm only feeling settled in here now.

And I have to do that all over again.

This time, it's not the five of us. Just me, one up, in Cambridge.

And you're forgetting that you're the chameleon, bro.

If you can't fit in in Cambridge,

we ain't fitting in nowhere, I'm telling you.

Listen, bro, that place is different.

I know it's a good opportunity, but it's just...

Just what, man?

I'm just saying, all of us being here together, now,

it's finally become like comfy.

Bro. You get it?

When... When has it ever been about comfort, bro?

We're trying to succeed, no? Change is important, man.

Change is good. Trust me.

Not all change.

Like, I know it was a hard decision for you to make and that, but

I'm glad you didn't go to America.

Yeah.

Well, what's all these boxes for, then?

Story for another day.

So, we can't go into town, so I thought I should bring town to us.

Here you go.

I've pirated that new Jenna Ortega film.

It's some three-and-a-half hour political thriller,

which seems to me quite excessive,

but, come on, we must - it's the Ortega.

No reply from your lady friend?

Nah.

Don't sweat it.

But it did seem a bit too good to be true, right?

Hmm. Yeah. Unless she was like, I don't know,

butt ugly or

just messing with you for some reason. Hmm.

Hey, if you ever need wanking off,

I'd be very happy to help.

Stop trying to chicken out. I'm not chickening out.

I just don't think that poisoning their water supply is a good idea of a prank.

Caldwell messed with us, trashed our equipment,

destroyed our chances to win the league, so we go hard or we go home.

Er, I wanted to talk to you really quickly.

Right, I'd love to help you out, Femi,

but I'm drowning in my own stuff, as it is.

Why did you chuck away your art?

It was taking up too much space.

I don't feel like you've been very Omar, recently.

Well, I feel like I've been very Omar.

If this - you not doing your art school stuff - is

about you worrying what people think,

how your family will feel,

trust me, bro, I've been there.

And, like, you're very talented.

Right, look, Femi, I don't have time for this right now.

Jonny's coming over. So...

Is he the reason?

What? Are you ditching your art so you could be with Jonny?

No, no. Moving in together? No.

Why do I not believe you?

All right, Femi, I need you to leave, please.

I'm not letting you chuck it all away.

Like, I'm not. Femi. Like, have you seen what's in this?

And you want to put this in a dumpster outside? It doesn't make any sense. Femi.

Like, you've got so much, like...

I didn't get in!

The three art schools I applied for, they didn't want me.

I wasn't good enough.

I'm sorry. I didn't realise.

No, no, no, Femi, I don't want your apology.

I just want all of you to leave me alone.

Whilst you guys are doing whatever it is you want to do,

at least I'll have someone.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Hey.

Everything all right?

Yeah, all good. Do you want to play some music or something?

Yeah, yeah. Sure.

Hmm.

Hey.

What are you doing here? I came to see you.

Fem-Fem, is that you?

Oh, my... What's the matter?

Where are we going?

Do you know how much shit you can get us into?

Where were you? We had plans.

No, because you never told me that you was Cheddar's sister.

Why would I tell you I'm related to that little weasel?

Because, because maybe he's one of my best friends.

Or is that why you decided to go on a date with me?

Femi... What?

Listen, this is a big term for me and I don't want to spend it

being you and your brother's little plaything.

Femi,

I like you.

No, you don't. No-one likes me.

Well, I do.

You don't know me.

OK, well, I...

...I like what I see.

Sh!

Thank you.

Thank you?

For making the effort.

It means a lot.

Almost didn't make it.

Why's that?

The break-in.

Carol's got the whole school locked down.

Really? Yeah.

People are not happy.

Your hockey girls are out for blood.

Leah is especially pissed.

Why?

Carol thinks she did it.

God.

Hmm. Maybe I should give her a call.

Make sure she's all right.

Yeah.

She'd appreciate that.

Now, I could get in lots of trouble coming here to visit you.

Mm-hm. So,

I think we should make the most of it.

...Felix, just deal with it. It's just such a waste of my time.

This is for your benefit. Why can you not see that?

Come in.

Be quiet.

Mistress, you asked to see me.

Miss Dulverton.

I owe you an apology.

Go on.

It would seem you were not responsible

for the vandalism that took place.

Several students were caught trying to wreak revenge

on Caldwell College.

Apologies tend to have the word sorry in it.

Apology accepted.

And about my ARP?

You can go ahead with your ARP.

You mentioned it was a joint presentation,

so I've decided to team you up with Felix.

No, I'm partnering with Devonye.

Not any more.

My project is about the impact of colonialism, and I just feel that

that's not a subject that will interest Felix, so...

HE SCOFFS

Felix's family dates back hundreds of years,

many of whom owned land across the Caribbean and the Americas.

His insight will be invaluable.

Um, I just don't think that me and Felix have the same work ethic,

and that is also reflected in our grades, so...

Looking at your projected grades,

I believe you're both in need of extra UCAS points.

Mistress, I'd really... I'm late.

See Miss Dulverton out.

Thanks, mate.

How is any of this my fault?

Who goes out of their way to do extra work?

Fuck my life.

Jaheim! What?

Jaheim! Wagwan?

Your shitty ARP idea backfired bad!

SHE BANGS ON DOOR

Why are you so vexed?

Bad advice.

Yo! Jaheim! Listen, I'm coming in. You better be dressed, yeah?

What are you still doing here?

Ah... I fell asleep. Ugh.

TOILET FLUSHES Fuck. My dad.

Hide.

He's gone. You can come out.

Abby...

...did you trash our school?

I can explain.

I can't believe Carol's trying to pin this on me.

Why do these girls look like they're ready for war?

You do understand,

this line that you're crossing, you can't come back from it.

Nothing wrong with a little bit of healthy competition.

I warn you, I play dirty.

This is getting interesting!

So, is it back on?

We could grab a hot chocolate. That sounds like a date to me.

It's not a date. You're going on a date. Mabel.

I'm Benjamin. Can I get your number?

I can't afford any distractions.

I'm now starting to sound like a jealous boyfriend.

Boy... boyfriend?

Uh, Jaheim, if I wanted to hack into the school computer system,

how would I go about doing that?

FIRE ALARM BEEPS

I cannot afford to fail this.

Woo!

Guys, have you seen Leah?

We are seriously running out of time.

I can fix this. How?
