- Whose is that car?
- How am I supposed to know?
- Oh, my God, no,

how has he found me here?

- Fancy going to the pictures tonight?
I feel I haven't seen you for ages.

- I'm busy with Nate tonight.
- Again? You've seen a lot of him
lately.

- Your sister left home for nearly two
years.

When she's ready she'll tell me why
she did it and what happened to her.

- I was enjoying it, talking to you..

- Yeah, well I have to admit those 40
minutes did go by rather quickly.

- ROCK MUSIC PLAYS

- < Nate?

What are you doing in your brother's
room?

And turn that racket off.

- MUSIC STOPS

- What time did you get in last night?
- 'Bout eleven.

- Where were you?

Nate. Did you hear me? I asked you
where you were?

That's four nights this week you've
been out.
- So?
- Don't be so cheeky.

I want to know where you're spending
your time.
- Nowhere, all right?

- No, it's not all right. What about
your homework, when's that getting
done?

- I'll sort it.

- Right. Good.

So you'll be coming straight home
after school, then?

Nate, answer me!

- Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know yet.
I've not decided.

Don't worry, you'll be the first one
to know.

- Hang on, wait for me, I'll give you
a lift. Nate!

- DOOR CLOSES

- Hello, this is Matthew Gurney.

I appreciate this is short notice but
I'd like to make an appointment to see
Mrs Fisher today,

so if someone could call me back as
soon as you get this.

It's about my son, Nate Gurney.

- Josh? Have you seen my shoes?

- Under the table.

You need to start looking after
yourself.

- You wait till you get to my age.
Gets harder to burn off.

- Depends what you're shoving in.
- Since when did YOUR body become a
temple?

- Since I discovered you and me share
the same gene pool.
- That's nothing to be ashamed of.

Hasn't done ME any harm. Perfect
specimen!

MOBILE PHONE BEEPS

- See ya.

Y'all right?

- I am now, yeah.

- What you doing here?
- Just passing by, thought I'd give
you a buzz. If it's not cool...

- No, no. It's all good.

- Chill.

- Right, that's me, I'm ready.

Oh, all right, Nate?

Didn't see you there. You guys need a
lift?

- Great. Right now I should be on the
phone

to the LEA updating them on the
segregation policy.

- Yes, Mum, we know because you
haven't stopped going on about it.

- Just tell them it works. You know
keeping them separate.

All blokes ever do is give you grief.

- Thanks, Rebecca. I'll pass on that
enlightened opinion.

- Bex!

- Who was that?
- Dunno.

- A boyfriend?
- I don't know him.

- You must know him, he was calling
your name.
- Mum, leave it.

- I'm only asking.
- Well, don't, or I'm out of here and
I mean it.

- Cesca.

- You can't be calling me by my first
name here, OK? It's Miss Montoya.

- Cool, no problem.

- Look, Jonah, it's because I'm your
teacher.

- Yeah, I know.

I could still teach you a thing or
two.

Starting with how to text.

It's like you're writing an essay.

- You've kept all my texts?

- Yeah, why? Have you not kept mine?

- You've got to get rid of them.
Please, just delete that message.
Delete all of them.

- It's not like I'm going to show
anyone.
- Just do it!

- What's HE done, then?
- Nothing.

- Looked like you were giving him a
right telling off.

- No, he just handed in his coursework
a bit late.

- Remind me not to get in YOUR bad
books!

- So, erm, what do you think of them
two being an item?

- As long as Josh is happy...

that's all that matters.

Young love, eh?

- You can't have that one, can you?

That's an 18. Have you got any ID?

No, off you pop.

- Put 'em away or I take them off you.
- Oh, sir, that's well not fair.

- Nor was the goal scored by United in
the derby. Go on.
- Totally unfair. I agree.

What? Don't look so surprised. You're
not the only one who has a passion for
football.

And before you start asking me, I do
understand the offside rule, OK?

- Never doubted you for a second.

- Back of the net. She fancies you.
- You think?

- You're joking, right? Your old man
and Miss Montoya?

- Don't know how he does it, mate.
Must want to mother him.

No... No... No...

Have you ever heard of acrylic nails,
love?

A nailbrush wouldn't go amiss, either.

The art department's that way. Too
much blusher.

Right, so, we all know how to type up
an e-mail,

but do you know how to do a formal
letter?

Headings, dates, references?

- I'm only doing this cos it'll look
good on my CV.

- It'll be about the only thing that
WILL look good on you. Sign there.

- What are you up to, Janeece?
- Miss, my secretarial class starts
today,

so I need to be dead strict, to find
out who's right for it.

- Where are the boys?
- Are you being serious?
- I think you should give them a try.

- Cos we don't want to be seen to be
reinforcing gender stereotyping, do we
Janeece?

- Miss Montoya.

- You're a friend of Cesca's, aren't
you?

- Yeah. Why?

- I think it would be a good idea if
she kept her door open

on her one-to-one sessions with Jonah
Kirby.

You know how teenage boys can be.

- Look, don't worry, I deleted those
texts.

- All of them?

Great.

I mean, not that there's anything
wrong with them.

It's just that you know how people can
talk.

- Well, they might get the wrong idea.

- Yeah, it's silly, really.

Well, great. I'll see you later and we
can run through the vocab, yeah?

- Si.

Or you could text me the stuff we're
covering and I'll get a head start.

- Jonah...

- I'm joking.

- Can anybody identify any root
vegetables for me?

- Er, carrots, parsnips...

- That's excellent, Finn.

- Miss, what about tomatoes?

- Actually, those are a fruit...

don't grow in the ground.

- Yeah, neither do kebabs.

Tool.

- What you doing tonight?

- Same as I do every night.

Hanging out with you.

Been thinking, though,

it would be good if we could, er,
spend the whole night together, you
know?

- Yeah, I know.

- You sure you're...?
- Yeah.

Why don't you come round tonight?

- Will your dad mind?

- No, why would he?

Maybe we can get rid of him, have the
place to ourselves.

- Yeah, that'd be great.

- What about YOUR dad?

- Yeah, he'll be totally sound.

- Hi. I'm here to see Mrs Fisher.

- Really? Are you sure?

Because I ain't got no-one scheduled
in at this time to come and see her.

- ..Hello, Mr Gurney.
- Hi.

- Sorry, Janeece, I arranged this one
myself.

Would you like to come through?
- Thank you.

- Can you dig out Nate's file?

- What, and stay the night?

- If you can deal with it.

- No, look it's not that. I just don't
want you rushing into anything.

- I'm not.

- Look, what I'm saying...

- What you're saying is you can't
handle my boyfriend coming to stay the
night.

Don't worry, I get it.

Would you feel the same if Nate was a
girl?

Yeah, exactly.
- I didn't say anything.

- No but it's true, isn't it? I'm sure
you never stopped Chlo and her
boyfriends.
- Yeah, I did, actually.

Well, at least I tried to. Look, what
I'm saying is...

- Oh, just be honest with yourself.

You've got a problem with it, haven't
you?

Just stop trying to pretend that
you're cool with me and Nate, cos it's
obvious you're not.

You're concerned about Nate?
- Yeah.
- KNOCK ON DOOR

- Yeah, for a while now he's been,
um...

- Thanks, Janeece.

- He's been acting...moody.

I don't know,

he's just not himself.

He's home late. He's not doing any
homework.

Never thought I'd have to worry about
him. He was the quiet one...

head always stuck in a book!

Now, his brother, well,

that was a different story.

- It must be a difficult time for the
family at the moment.

It's been six months now.

- Has Nate made any friends?

I mean, is he settling in OK?

- Oh, I think he's mixing very well
with the other students.

Just looking at these results,

I don't think you've got anything to
worry about.

He's a bright boy.

- I'd like to think it was me he took
after!

Truth is, I don't know where he gets
it from.

- Well, he's doing very well.

You should be proud.

- A small token by way of thanks for
your help with Fleur.

Tickets for the theatre this evening.

- Oh, that's a nice thought. You
didn't need to get me anything.

- An Inspector Calls. It's been years

since I last saw that performed.
All-time classic. Don't you think?

- Oh, yeah... it's one of my
favourites.

- Oh, is it? Priestley is grossly
underrated, isn't he?

- Oh, absolutely.

- Let's talk anon.

- Can't wait.

- Maybe Josh has a point.

You know, if he wants to bring his
girlfriend over to stay, then would we
even be talking about this?

- His first girlfriend,

yeah, maybe we would.

- Tom, it's going to happen.

- I know, but...
- Maybe it's better knowing where he
is.

- Cesca, Karen asked me to have a
quite word with you.

- What does she want now?
- She saw you you alone in your room
with Jonah.

- I don't know what you're your
talking about.

- Listen, you've got to watch your
back. Alone in a room with a
testosterone-filled 17-year-old boy,

it can lead to situations. Don't take
it personally.

- You OK?

- Yeah.

Nothing I can't handle.

- D'you fancy coming for a drink
later...

take your mind off it?

C'mon, you might enjoy yourself.

- Yeah. Yeah, sounds like a lovely
idea.

- Tonight?
- Yeah, suits me.

- That's a date, then.
- Yeah.

- Hey. You got it wrong, you know,
Josh.

I'm "cool" with you and Nate.

Look, you're happy and I'm happy for
you, son.

- Does that mean he can stay?

- Yeah. Why not?

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, I'm sure.

- Thanks.

- And guess what? You've got rid of me
for the night. I'm going on a date
with Miss Montoya.

- Result.

- Guess the old magic never dies, eh?
See ya later.

- What time you coming round, then?

- You cleared it with your dad?
- Yeah, I said I would.
- Nice one.

- Oh, and now it's official, you need
to put it on your profile.

- Check this out.

Don't tell me you've done that.
- No, not a chance. This is so not
cool.

- Why? What's the problem?
- Look at it, it's well cheesy.

- # He loves you

# He wants to kiss you! #

- It's well out of order.

- Nate.
- Dad, what the hell are YOU doing
here?

- I was in seeing Mrs Fisher.

What's that?

Nate loves... Josh?

Who's Josh?

- Hi, Mr Gurney. I'm Josh.

- Is this a wind-up?

Nate?

What's going on?

Nathan.

You're not...?

Oh, you are kidding me!

- No, we're going out.
- Haven't I got enough on my plate
with your brother without this stupid
nonsense?!

- Dad, please...
- You are pushing me to the edge, lad,
d'you understand? I've had enough!

Now go on. Get moving now! You're
coming with me.

- Get out of my way.
- Er, excuse me! Josh, what's going
on?
- What's going on? I'll tell you what.

I want THIS kept away from my son.
- This is MY son.

- Well, your boy might be a freak but
mine's not.

- Er, just hang on a minute.
- Are you, Nate?

Nate! Come back here!

Nate!

You're a teacher, you shouldn't be
encouraging this.
- Encouraging what, exactly?
- You know what.

- Right, you two - enough. into my
office.

Come on!

Move along, the rest of you.
- You all right?

- He might think it's OK for his lad
to be like this. I don't.

- I am trying to support my son.

Maybe you should think about doing the
same.

- Don't tell me what I should do with
my boy, all right?

- Mr Gurney, you do not come into this
school

and behave in an aggressive and
threatening manner to a member of my
staff, all right?

- Never mind me, what about Josh?
- I want him kept away from Nate.
- I'm not listening to this.

- Tom, come back.

Sit down, please.

Mr Gurney, Josh Stevenson's done
nothing wrong.

Now, I suggest you sit down.

And calm down.

Both of you.

- Nate's never mentioned anything to
me. Nothing. Not a word.

- Is it any wonder?

- Look...I know this must have come as
a bit of a shock.

- Why's he doing this to me? My other
son turned out all right.

- Find that hard to believe.
- Tom.
- What?
- With you as a father?

- Six months ago Nate's brother,

my son, Aaron,

was killed in Afghanistan.

Don't you DARE talk about my son like
that!!

- Dad promised everything was going to
be OK.

He said our Aaron was never going to
get killed.

Then these two blokes from the Army
turned up at the door...

- If you'd mentioned it, I could have
helped. Why didn't you tell me?

- It's difficult.

- I've told you everything.

Stuff I'd never tell anyone else.
- It's not the same.

You don't know what it's like, it's
all my dad ever talks about.

Maybe that's why I didn't say
anything.

I don't have to think about it when
it's just you and me.

- If I mean so much to you, why didn't
you tell your dad about me?

If he wouldn't have come today, he
would've never knew you was gay, would
he?
- I'm sorry, OK?

It's nothing to do with you, or us.

It's about him, my dad and me.

- You know it's not too late to sort
it out.

- Yeah, you're right,

I'll get it all cleared up,

tell him about you and me.

- I wake up every day, I think I'm in
a nightmare

and then it hits me.

It's real.

He's dead

and I'm not going to see him again.

We've been to hell and back. All of
us.

Thought a change of school would be a
fresh start for him.

I had no idea about any of this.

- Let's try and keep a bit of
perspective...
- What kind of school is this?
Separating boys from girls.

Is it any wonder young lads are
getting the wrong idea?

- Mr Gurney, we try to TACKLE
homophobia here rather than encourage
it.

- If you're asking me, I think this
place is a bad example for my son.

I think I should be taking him
somewhere else.

- The school's not the problem here.

You need to talk to Nate.

- I thought he had a girlfriend.

I guessed that's where he was spending
all his time.

I never thought he was seeing another
BOY.

No. I don't get this. Not Nate. Maybe
he's just confused?

- Nate has been very open and
confident about his sexuality

from his very first day at Waterloo
Road

and it's the school's responsibility
to encourage pupils' choices.

Why don't I get a room for you where
you can have a talk with Nate,

because I don't think you should leave
it like this.

- Mr Gurney, when Josh first told
me...

it wasn't easy.

And I listened to him...

It took me a while before I really
heard what he was saying.

- I guess we're all different, aren't
we?

- Preparation - key to success.

- That's what my course is about.

It's mega important when you work in
administration.

- Well, you're teaching by example and
I'm so impressed, Janeece.

- And when exactly did the lunatics
start taking over the asylum?

Hmm... Cheating?

- No. I was just refreshing my memory
before the show this evening.

- By reading Letts notes, and not the
play?

You haven't read it have you?

Well, I'm assuming this is just a
random, if extremely unfortunate,

omission of your knowledge of the
classics.

- Listen, I probably read more than
you.

OK, so you've read all the classics.
Have you read that?

Cos I can get through about four of
those on holiday.

You'd really enjoy that.

- Impossible. How can one acquire

a taste for vintage Champagne then
suddenly start liking cheap plonk.

- Yep, well, you don't know until you
try.

- Oh, well, if I must.

Only if YOU...read this.

- Book swap?

Right, you're on.

- Here we are.

I'm here to help...

if you'd like me to stay?

- We'd like to be left alone, thanks.

- Sure. I'm down the corridor if you
need me.

- What's going on, son?

I know it's been hard at home, since
Aaron died.

- Me being gay's got nothing to do
with Aaron getting killed.

- So what's it about, son?

- There's nothing wrong with me but
you wouldn't get that, would you?

Just cos I'm not like him. Cos I've
never been like him.

He was your blue-eyed boy and now look
at him, Dad.

He's dead.

- Are you saying that's my fault?

- Why didn't you stop him! He went
because of you.

Now we'll never see his 21st,

never get to that party we'd planned
for him.

Never stand by me and tell you it's OK
that I'm gay.

- Aaron knew?

- I told him. On his last home visit.

- Well, why didn't he say something?

- He said I should tell you.

Said you'd be cool with it.

Just before he went back, he made me
promise

that I'd tell you.

I was going to but I never got the
chance.

I broke my promise, didn't I?

- Look, we're going to make some
changes, OK?

I want you to be able to talk to me,
tell me what's going on.

I don't want to lose you, Nate.

- You really mean that?

- Yes, of course I do.

I promise.

- I'm sorry too, Dad.

- You're young, Nate.

You've got a lot to work out.

This is just probably something you'll
grow out of.

Might be best if you stay away

from that pal Josh for a bit, yeah?

Got to be a family now, eh?

More than ever, we need each other to
get through this.

- Look, I'm telling you none of the
boys are interested.

I knew they wouldn't be.

- Well, you better get them
interested.

Unless you get at least one boy on
this course, it's cancelled.

- Can I help you?
- I'd like to see Mrs Fisher please.

- Mrs Fisher's a bit busy.

But I'm her personal assistant, can I
help you with anything, Mr Hodge?

- See that guy that came in then, what
did he want?

- Apparently he's a photographer. Done
all the schools round here.

I said I'd give his details to your
mum.

I wouldn't mind him taking mine. He's
well fit, weren't he?

- Hey.

- Bex.

I'm sorry about that.

I hope you don't think I just blanked
you,

like you did to me this morning.

I wanted to see you.

I miss you, Bex. I've been trying to
call you but...well, you know that.

- What do you want from me?

- Meet me?

- Forget it.

- I bet you that secretary will get me
into see your mum once

she's finished with her meeting.

- All right, I'll meet you.

I'll give you a call next week...
Maybe we can meet up or something?

- Who should I say I am when I
introduce myself?

- All right. I'll meet you tonight.

- Make it lunchtime. 1pm, in the park.

- OK.
- Ahh.

Got loads to catch up on.

- There's not many places left but
because your mum's my boss,

I'll squeeze you in. But don't tell
anyone.

- The old "buy it now or miss your
chance" routine?

- You what?
- It's a slightly worn sales
technique.

Sorry. I'm not interested.

- Hey how do you fancy becoming a
personal assistant,

learning the gen from somebody who can
walk the walk.

- Oh, I've got a class at that time,
but thanks anyway.

You've spelt stationery wrong. It's
with an E, not an A.

Easy mistake to make.

- What's this?

- Oh, my secretarial course. Learning
how to become a top PA...

- What's a PA?

- On second thoughts, forget it.

Hey what about you? I just need you to
sign this, if I don't get at least

one boy then the class is cancelled.

- Not my problem.

- Oh, well, if you're not going to
sign, at least help me

take the boxes back to the office.
It's all your good for anyway.

- Whoa, that's proper sexist.
- So what? Sue me.

Shove them in there.

- It's pretty cool in here.

- Yeah, I know. You don't realise how
much of

this stuff the school gets through.
I've seen the bills.

And it costs a fortune to keep you lot
in pens.

- I can imagine.

What time do these classes start
again? I'm well up for it...

- Honestly?

- Yeah, only if you can squeeze me in?

- Sign on the line.

BELL RINGS

The one-to-one classes are cancelled.

As of now.

- Why?

- Because I don't have as much time as
I'd like to my self.

- Come on? What's up? I thought you

was enjoying them as much as I was.

- Look, Jonah, I just want my lunch
times back for myself. That's all.

What are you doing?

- I'm doing what you want me to do.
- No. No you're wrong.

I'm going out for a drink with Tom
Clarkson. He asked me and I said yes.
- A date?

- Yes, exactly. We are going out on a
date.

What is so funny?

- You and him? Come on.

- You hear about it all the time in
the news, soldier killed...

- Yeah and it doesn't hit home until
something like this happens.

There must be other families at the
school,

or in the community who are affected
by all of this.

Maybe we should do something to help?

- Like what?

- Well, an initiative? Or a foundation
or something?

Something Waterloo Road can get
involved with.

- I can look into it, see what we can
come up with.
- Tom?

Look, I know he was out of order.

- I know where he was coming from.

It's not been easy. To be honest,
there's been times with me and Josh,

I still don't know if I'm getting it
right.

- If you'd said otherwise, I wouldn't
have believed you.

But the fact that you can be so honest

shows just how far you've come.

- This parenting thing doesn't come
with a guide book.
- No.

- Harry, do us a favour.

If you see mum, just say I've gone
dentist, yeah?

- Do I have a choice?
- No.

- She's gone to the dentist.

That's what I was told.

Got these for tonight.

Thought I'd let you win the first two,

then do my usual and totally
annihilate you.

- Yeah, think I'll leave it out.
- Chicken out, more like.

- Grow up, Josh, I don't care about
your stupid games.

- Is this your dad? What's he said?
- Sorry. I can't do this.

- No, wait a minute. What's he said?
- I'm not coming round tonight, Josh.

Or any other night. All right?

- Que pasa, mate?

You're back early aren't ya. Shouldn't
you still be in Spanish?

What happened? Miss Montoya blow you
out?

- Yeah. She did.

- Ah well, at least you get a lunch
break.

Catch you later, yeah?

- Eh, where you going looking so happy
any way?

- I managed to bag myself a place on
Janeece's secretarial class.

- And that's a good thing?
- Should be fun, and quite lucrative.

- Are you OK?

When I didn't see you in the
staffroom, I started to think

maybe I had offended you.

- Oh, no. No, no. I'm absolutely fine.

Just running a bit behind, that's all.

- Cesca, all that stuff I said about
Jonah - I was only trying to be a
mate.
- I know.

I know and you were spot on. In fact,
I've cancelled the lessons.

- What? I never meant for you to do
that.

- No. You were right. One-on-one
classes with Jonah,

not such a good idea.
- They are, they're a great idea.

In fact, they're the kind of thing
Karen wants us all to do more of.

- But I thought Karen had some
concerns?

- She's just looking out for you.
Listen, keep the lessons going.

All you need to do is remember, keep
the door open next time.

- There's one person in the school
that deals with all these.

I know you might think its Mrs

Fisher. But I am her right-hand woman

and I have to step in and take over.
- As if.

- And that's not all.

A personal assistant has a lot of
other responsibilities.

Well, can any of yous tell me any of
the others?

- Running the universe?

- Not quite thank you very much. Well,
there's the keeping

of the office keys, and the ordering
of the stationery supplies...

- What about the petty cash?

- Ah, good question.

- So d'you like these?

- Yeah, they're all right...
- No talking while I'm talking, OK?

- She's not even a teacher.

- Is that right? What am I doing up
there if I'm not teaching?

If you wanna be one step ahead like me
I suggest you shut up and listen.

- Is she for real?
- You can shut it an' all.

- I came here to try and learn
something,

not to listen to how great you are.
I'm out of here.

- Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so
boring.

- I did, no offence.

- Oh, well hang on, I mean we've not
even covered

the scheduled appointments or the
personal appearance.

- Just ignore them. You're doing
great.

I'd love to hear more about the
ordering of the stationery.

- Why are you sucking up to her?
- Just interested.

- Why, cos he's going places, unlike
yous two.

- Hiya, gorgeous...
- Don't...

- Wow, come on, Bex,

what's all this about?

How can you be like that, after
everything we had?

- Dylan. It's over.

You've gotta deal with that.

- So you're giving up everything we
had together?

The fancy hotels, the Champagne...

and all the other little perks?

Come on we had a right laugh, didn't
we?

- S'ppose so...

- You're kissing all that goodbye,

for what?

To go back to school? Are you mad?

- I've changed.

- Have you? Still look like the same
beautiful Bex that blew me away...

- Get lost...
- No, I mean it. You're breaking my
heart here.

- I just... I want to spend some time
with my family

and get some proper qualifications.

- I thought you hated your family?

- Well, they're not so bad.

- I've got this gig coming up. There's
mega money in it...
- No.

- Just one more. I promise. Then I'll
whisk you away to that...

- I don't want to! Not now. Not ever
again.

Do you not get it, Dylan? It's over.

- It doesn't work like that, babes.
- Get off me.

- You know, I reckon me and your mum
would get on.

I'd like to talk to her.

- Stay away from my mum.

- Why? Worried she might find out what
her little girl's been up to?

- I'm a failure.

That's what Miss Fisher's gonna say.

- She'll understand. It's better they
dropped out now rather than later.

As if they'd make a good PA anyway.

If you can't sit and listen for five
minutes, what chance have you got?

- You're right, you know.

You're really getting the hang of
this, you know.
- Thanks to you.

It's really interesting, what you do.

You're practically running the
place...
- Not quite...

- I'd love to shadow you for an
afternoon, find out a bit more

about the nuts and bolts of the job.

- Hands-on experience is much better
than just sitting in a classroom.

- I'm free today.
- I'll ask Mrs Fisher.

- Can I come too?

- Oh, well, I don't think you've got
it, love. Bit too mousey.

That's if you don't mind me being up
front.

That's another skill you've got to
have - telling it like it is.

- Didn't know we covered best sellers.

- Oh, Seems to be all the rage in Year
Ten at the moment.

Sad, sad little minds.

Someone must have dropped it. Complete
and utter drivel.

- We're talking after school?

- Yeah, any free time I've got, I'll
be in here, Miss.

I just want to learn.

- There's nothing like practical
experience.
- Exactly.

- What, so, is it OK then?

- Yeah, why not?

- Sweet!

- Harry mentioned you'd been to the
dentist.

- Erm, yeah, I went in for a check-up,
but I ended up needing a filling

and my mouth's killing me now.

- As long as you're OK.

- I thought you were going to stop
checking up on me.

- I'm your mother, I worry.

It's what I'm supposed to do.

- OK, OK, I lied.

I didn't go to the dentist. I got
Harry to cover for me

cos I didn't want you

knowing where I was going to go.

I went to the job centre but there's
zilch on offer.

So I've decided I'm going to stick it
out here,

get some decent qualifications. How
come you're always right, eh?

- BELL RINGS

Come on, quickly, please.

Right, get into your pairs. Pick out
the nouns and the adjectives

that best highlight the themes of the
poem.

- I didn't mean for any of this to
happen.

I'm sorry.

- Nate, where do you think you're
going?

What's going on?
- He dumped me.

- You all right, mate?

- Nate, wait there.

- Sorry, Mr Clarkson,

I just can't be here. I can't do this
any more.

- Walking out of my class isn't going
to solve anything.

- I know, nothing is, but everything
is such a mess.

I can't please anyone.

- I take it things didn't go too well
with him.

- He thinks I'll grow out of it,
thinks me and Josh is just a phase.

I don't know any more, maybe he's
right.

- Nate, if you want to be with Josh,
that's OK...

..and if you don't want to be with
Josh, then that's OK, too.

This is about you, Nate.

- No, it's not. All I ever get off my
dad is grief,

talking about Aaron.

He's obsessed. Aaron, Aaron, Aaron,
all the time.

He never stops, it never goes away.

- People deal with loss in different
ways.

At some point he'll get over it and
he'll accept you for who you are.

- I don't want to fight with him any
more.

Maybe I should just do what he says.
- No.

Sometimes you've got to put yourself
first before you can even think about
anybody else.

There's only you can decide how to
make you happy.

Yeah?

Come on.

Mum?

Something happened?

- It's Bex.

Some guy turned up here this morning,

she went off and met him at lunch.

There's something not right.

- Well, did you speak to her?

- No.

She didn't know I was there.

- Right, so you followed her?

- I just want to know who this man is
and why he won't leave her alone.

- Maybe he's an ex-boyfriend or
something and he's still

got a thing for her.

- Jess, if you know something you've
got to tell me.

- She was getting loads of phone calls
on her mobile

and she was in a right state over
them.

And then later on she tried saying
that she'd lost her phone,

but I already knew she was lying.

- If he's an ex-boyfriend,

and he's harassing her, then she needs
to tell me...

- Mum, don't go wading in, OK?

No matter how much you want to.

I tried that, I really did,

but the closer you get,

the further she'll run. And if you
push her, then she'll just go.

Josh, I'm sorry to hear about you and
Nate.

- It's fine, Dad, honest.

Yeah, I liked him, but I'll get over
it.

- Well, he's got a lot going on at
home. He might still need a friend, no
matter what.

HE DIALS NUMBER

- 'Please leave your message after the
tone.

'When you've finished recording, you
can just hang up.'

- Dad.

Look, I know how much Aaron's death
has affected you.

I miss him, too,

but you can't keep telling me how to
live my life.

I want to be with Josh

and you're just going to have to deal
with that.

- Milk and one.

- All right, what's next? I want you
to put these in alphabetical order.

Then I want you to start polishing
your organisational skills.

- Yes, boss.

- And then I want you to sort all this
out. Properly, though, no skimping.

Let me know what's there so I know
what to order.

I should have written it down in the
book, but everyone just helps
themselves.

- So you've got no idea what goes in
and out of there?
- I ain't got a clue.

PHONE RINGS

I'd let you get this. But I don't
think you're ready yet.

Hello. Janeece Bryant.

- I never thought I'd say this, but I
am thoroughly enjoying this.

I really know how she feels. Cos
sometimes

I feel like a good bit of retail
therapy when I'm fed up.

- That's one take on it.
- How you doing with mine?

- Oh, yes, well...

It's interesting.

From a philanthropic point of view.
Yes, shall we go?

- Can I just go and put some lippy on,

cos these theatre luvvies are all
dressed up to the nines?

I don't want to look like a tramp.

- Not entirely convinced a bit of
homemade shepherd's pie warrants

what I'm having to fork out to save
her soul. Tickets are extortionate.

- You did offer to pay and

I hope that's all this is, Grantly.

A cultural intervention.

- And your point is?
- She is married, you know.

- As am I.
- So it's not like

it's a date, then?

- Don't be ridiculous.

I've spoken to a local support group
that's been set up by the families

of soldiers affected.

They're up for the idea of working
with the school on this.

- Be great if we can get someone in to
talk to the kids and the staff.

- If we are going to set up a
foundation we need to do some
fundraising,

so I thought I could set up a charity
football match.

- We need to get Nate and his dad
onboard for that first.
- No, of course.

Leave that with me. I'll talk to him.

- That's great, Tom.

Thanks a lot.

- And don't worry. Easy does it. I
know...

Good night.

All right, Ronan?

- I'm off, then. Night.

- Ooh, you're keen.

I didn't get round to asking Mrs
Fisher about setting the meeting up.

- Don't worry about it, sweetheart. Is
she around?

- You'd better come in.

You can get off now, Janeece.

- Nate, wait!
- I don't need a lift, Dad.

- Look, son...

I know I haven't been there for you.
It's just...

these last few months since Aaron...
- Since Aaron died nothing's been
right.

And it never will be, Dad, but I'm
still me.

- Course you are. Come on, let's go
home.

- No. You don't get it. Nothing's
going to change.

I'm gay. That's who I am.

Let's face it, it's not me you want to
come home.

I don't need these to remember him.

I'm going out tonight, Dad.

- Don't be daft. Come on, we'll talk
about this.

- I've had enough. Mr Clarkson's
right.
- I'm your dad.

I know what's right for you.

Where are you going?
- See you tomorrow.

- Nate!

- Night, Mr Clarkson.

- Night, Olivia.

Cesca, you sure you don't need a lift
tonight?

I don't mind. I can pick you up.

- I'm OK, thanks. If you like, you can
get the first round in?

- No es problemo.

- Hasta luego.

- Hasta luego.

SHE LAUGHS

- Thought you was playing it cool?

- Thought that was cool?

- What do you want?

- Another chance?

- It's nothing to do with me. Do you
no harm to listen.

- I know I don't deserve it, but I
know what I want.

I've always known.

No more hiding it. No more trying to
please everyone else.

- Still reckon I can annihilate you.

- I always let you win.
- Dream on.

- Do we need to let your dad know?

- No, he knows.

Look, Mrs Fisher, I think you've got
the wrong idea about me.

- Really?
- I only want to talk to her. She
won't answer my calls. She won't see
me.

- That's her decision and I suggest
you respect that.

- I wish it was that easy.

I don't know what she's told you, but
we were together.

- So she was with you

all the time she wasn't with us?

- I looked after her.

I fell in love with her.

When we first met, we just clicked
straightaway.

She was messed up all right, but we
were good together.

At first, I didn't even know she had a
family.

- Well, she does and I'm her mother.

From what I've seen,

she doesn't want to have anything to
do with you.

So maybe you should just leave it at
that.

- Mrs Fisher, I'm not the bad guy
here.

When I found out, I tried to persuade
her to go home.

I even offered to talk to you.

But she wasn't interested.

I miss her, Mrs Fisher.

All I want to do is talk to her.

Maybe you could have a word with her,

just explain to her that's all I want?

- That's up to Bex.

- At least would you give this to her?

Thank you.

Prepare to die.

- Dream on.

- PHONE RINGS

- You going to get that?

- No.

- OK, I want the truth. Is this
sweater too tight?

- No, looks great, Mr C.

- Cheers, Nate.

- Looks like you're going all out.
Have you actually ironed that?

You look fine, Dad. You better hurry
up, you know.

- Might not be a great idea to keep
Miss Montoya waiting.
- I'll see you later.

- Don't drone on about fishing -
you'll bore her, too.

- Well, give me fishing over sun, sand
and sangria any time.

- That's not all Spain is about.

There is more to it than fry-ups and
karaoke.

- Yeah, I know.

- You look nice.

- Oh, cheers.

- And I look a right mess. Didn't get
the chance to go home and change.

- You look great.

- You can be honest with me.

- I'm just glad we've finally got some
time to get to know each other.

D'you fancy a bite to eat later?
There's a great little tapas round the
corner

that Josh told me about it. I booked
us a table.
- Oh, did you?

That's really nice of you.

- Mr Gurney.

Cesca, this is Nate's dad.

Mr Gurney, can I get you a drink?

- Is Nate at yours?

- Yeah, I've left them playing on the
Xbox.

I'm glad I've caught you. I wanted to
ask your permission.

The school want to start a foundation

in Aaron's name.

Raise some awareness, hopefully raise
some money for the families.
- You being serious?

Not good enough to turn Nate against
me?

Now you don't think I'm doing enough
for my dead son Aaron.

- Let me get you a...

- Tom! Tom!

Yes! Told you. Loser.

Get off it. What you doing? Get off
me.

- DOORBELL RINGS

DOORBELL RINGS SEVERAL TIMES

- Josh, he wouldn't let me take him to
hospital.

He insisted I bring him back here.
- I'm all right, son, honestly.

- Dad, Dad, what's happened? Dad, are
you OK?

- What happened?
- Your father is a lunatic!

- Are you all right?

- My dad did this?

- Tom, let me call the police.

- I'll be fine.

- Why's he hate my dad so much?

- This my fault.

I've got to go.

- I'll be fine, I'll be all right.

SHE SWITCHES TV OFF

- I met a man called Dylan Hodge
today. He came in to see me.

Asked me to give you this.

What's going on, Bex?

- Nothing, OK?

- No, hang on. It's not OK.

Who is this man?

Are you in some kind of trouble?

Because one minute...

you're running away from him

and the next you're meeting up at
lunch.
- You followed me?

- What do you expect?

The phone calls, lies, sneaking
around. You don't tell me anything.

- Cos it's my life!

My mess, all right?

D'you know, you wonder why I left?

Because I couldn't take you breathing
down my neck all the time.

Well, at least I know why my dad went.

- Not the most romantic start to a
date.

- It's not your fault.

- Didn't do much to stop it, though,
did I?

- He was looking for a fight.

There's nothing you could have done.

- Cesca, if you don't mind, I think
I'm going to call it a night.

- OK. Call me, and tell me how you're
feeling, yeah?

Bye.

- HE SOBS

Hey, it's me.

Thanks for coming.

- Well, you a had a bit of a shock.

- What that man did to Tom, it was so
awful, Jonah.

- You all right?

- I'm OK.

SHE SOBS

- Are you sure I can't get you
anything?
- No, you've been great.

- Well, I'll stay however long you
want.

- You better go.

- You sure?

- Yeah, It's running late, and your
parents are probably wondering where
you are.

Go Jonah, go!

- Shouldn't be allowed in this school.

- Yeah, total fascist.

- What happened last week was a
mistake.

- Something is happening between you
and me, Cesca.

How long are you going to pretend that
it isn't?

- You see?

- Don't look at me, I didn't do it!

- It'll cheer you up.

No, it won't! I don't want to go out,
all right?!

- I can't stop thinking about you.

- No, wait.
