Sick of being sick.

I couldn't even eat my lunch yesterday because the tomato was touching the

bread. You'd do well to keep your head down and at least... Right there for a

second. That ain't me.

What have I done like that and we're done here?

Don't sneak up on me like that.

Sorry.

Have you had a tiff?

Maybe I could help? Shh.

Seriously.

I was a counsellor at the summer camp last year.

Well, not an official one, but they said I'm very empathetic.

Have you ever even had a boyfriend?

Well, actually, I went to girls.

Oh, my bad.

Have you ever even had a girlfriend?

OK, I haven't had a girlfriend.

I do have a secret crush, though.

I've never told anyone this, but, you know, Holly Salter in Year 11.

Sometimes I think about telling her, but... I mean, maybe I should tell her.

Not like you to knock.

Well, um...

We're going to be doing a lot of things differently from now on.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

Be done in a minute.

I can do this.

Hot luck for dinner tonight.

What's that?

Take away.

Who are you on the phone to?

Er, privacy.

And hurry up. I don't need Stuart on my back for being late.

What does he feel on your case?

Last time's the loon, Billy.

Remember?

Is your girl back in school yet, then?

Ah, so that's what's bugging him. He's loved it.

As is.

If you ever need any advice.

Oh, yeah.

Expert on women, are you? Hey.

When they've got relationship problems, who do you think they confide in?

Nearest straight guy.

I'm good.

But thank you.

See you later.

Over your nines only?

How's that fair?

She's right.

Mum mentioned it in my first podcast.

Who's running?

Anyone you know?

The usual losers and geeks.

You should run.

Funny.

We'll see what a great President Khaled would be.

Statistically, very little changes in the first 100 days a new leader takes

charge. I don't really see the point.

Such enthusiasm.

Why don't you go for it?

Politics aren't my jam.

They're all corrupt liars and... Where is Darcy?

So, guys, about my podcast... Wait, are you doing a podcast?

You never mentioned it.

So I was thinking... The election, school meals, climate change, or...

Um, it sounds a bit... Dry.

Dry like my nana's feet.

Yeah. Help me, then. It needs a bit more focus.

Oh, the most popular podcasts are about murder.

I don't want to give people nightmares.

OK. What do you want to give them?

Look who's back.

Good to see you.

Thanks, sir.

How are you feeling?

Great. Really?

My nerves were all over the place my first day back.

And now?

A bit better.

I mean, it'll take time, I guess, but... Oh,

you're good.

Listen.

My door is always open.

I should go.

Your friends have missed you.

This election is pure jokes.

Everyone knows who's already in charge around here.

Oh, wow!

You're back.

Weren't you, like, sectioned over the holidays?

Actually, I was working on myself.

Yeah, you should try it. Yeah, well, a lot's changed since you went to the

asylum. You can't use that word.

Polychill. Some people are beyond help.

Well, Darcy doesn't seem to think so.

Darcy. We're a thing now.

What's so funny?

Nothing.

So good to see you. How are you? So much has happened. Did you hear about Miss

Abel's reign of tyranny? We're going to have our first ever school president.

I'm sure you've heard all of this from Billy. I bet you laughed so hard about

him and Darcy falling through the ceiling.

We'll catch up later, yeah?

They what? Cut your skull open?

Yeah.

Keep up. Then they put magnet in, stitch it back up, and now... Sick.

So you're basically Robocop. Yeah, basically.

Been playing identity with Cassidy again?

The girl's like a whack -a -mole. Every time I think she's gone, up she pops.

Aw. Must be awful having a trophy girlfriend.

She has her good points. Like?

She's...

Generous. Yeah. She bought you that wicked love heart photo frame with a

of her in.

She makes me laugh.

Yeah, I'm not sure laughing at someone is the same thing.

We can always break your path to this place, you know. Oh, come on, Garth. Any

friend of Summer's ever... Maybe she's not a friend.

Maybe she sold Summer for medical research.

She's being experimented on by scientists in a top secret location.

Why is she standing over there, then?

Summer, you're back.

I've missed you.

Hey.

The biggest news is I've sacked off singing. I'm now on multi -level

Layla's going to be the next Kylie Jenner.

Is that okay, the way you are?

It's rubbish, but she had me.

He wasn't asking you.

It was fine.

I missed you lot.

Hey, you got a girlfriend?

I've got a sign.

You're going my way.

You made it out alive, then?

Ava's not the only one cracking a whip.

Stuart's on my back.

Since you and Darcy fell through the ceiling.

You heard?

What about your dad?

I don't need him.

Your foster home's great.

He loves it, so... I would have told you all about it, but

you've been off grid and I didn't want to... It's OK.

Therapy's been pretty full on.

You don't have to explain.

I want to.

We could talk properly at lunchtime.

I can't.

All right.

No, I've got extra tuition with Mr Stewart.

It's fine.

I've got to see Becky anyway.

Summer.

Um... It's good to have you back.

Okay, I want you all to partner up and find yourself a table with a wine glass

and a jug of water.

She's winning. Look, whatever issues you two have, save it for beyond the bell,

okay?

Sorry, miss.

Summer.

Give them space.

Maybe that's something they want from each other.

What would you know?

Okay, so this experiment is about gravity and suction.

Follow all the instructions on your worksheet up to where you lift the

I do everything on my own, then?

Wind your neck in.

It's a glass of some water, not rocket science.

Car,

please.

Mind your business.

Don't mind me doing the honours?

Yeah, I do actually.

Now keep your hand on top of the card as you turn the glass upside down. Then

you're going to take it away. Now the water will stay in the glass.

Yeah.

This is possible because there's no air in the glass.

It looks as though someone left a gap for air. Bad luck, Darcy.

I didn't miss.

I sent you an invite to the group chat with Jude

and Cody and the others.

Oh, right.

I'll join it later.

I've only had one volunteer for my podcast.

And you need one, don't you?

She's...

Quite niche.

Did you decide on a theme?

If it's a hard -noted murder, what about bizarre cults like the one where the

men have a thousand wives each? It's about what it is to be us here today.

I don't mind giving it a go, if you're desperate.

Really?

You're perfect.

I'm perfectly imperfect.

Wow. Our title, I love it.

Let's meet at lunch, if you're ready.

What have I just agreed to?

Babe, where have you been all morning?

Did you, like, wet yourself?

No. Talk to that stupid new girl, Daisy.

Have you met her yet?

So many issues.

Oh, I literally hate her.

Forget about her.

She's totally non -influential.

Want to know what I hate about Lady Daisy?

One, everything she does.

Two, everything she says.

Three... Like her whole face.

Or the way she smells.

Someone should introduce her to this amazing invention called deodorant. Uh

-huh. There's the way she dresses.

Like she's had a fight with someone at a jumble sale.

Are you listening?

Not really.

So, what were you doing after school?

Fancy a movie?

I haven't really thought of it. Oh, I know.

There's this new burger place on the high street.

Let's go in.

And try that, babe.

The damp look is so not the one.

Oh, are they all the questions?

Don't worry, we'll start with general stuff.

Likes, dislikes, age, background.

And then... Yeah?

I was thinking... Maybe you could speak your truth.

The experiences you've had, they might be... scary.

Overwhelming.

Ronnie, I love you, you know that, but you should find someone else.

Summer, you could help so many people.

Yeah, change my mind.

How much point do you be in here if you're not going to work?

OK.

What is it?

Nothing's fair.

What's star -crossed love is?

It means the odds were against them.

Romeo and Juliet might have been made for each other, but stuff in their lives

got in the way.

Like what?

Family, mostly.

And friends.

That's it?

You know Romeo and Juliet's problem?

Bad communication.

If they'd had more time to talk...

They could have lived happily ever after.

I think there was a bit more to it than that, sir.

Like the poison.

Spoiler.

So you are learning something.

Write me down some more reasons.

How's day been so far?

Good.

Managed to catch up with Billy?

I suppose it.

Feels like everyone's got new stuff going on.

What about you?

How does it feel being back home?

Away from the clinic?

I've got a bit sick of talking about myself.

A part of me just wants to blend in now, not keep going on about it.

Some of you are a different girl to the one who took herself off to get help.

It's all that talking you did.

We all need somewhere for our feelings to go.

Seriously?

You girls just got back and you'd rather be in extra lessons.

Look, firstly, this extra tuition is not my choice.

Second, I'm not even sure she's my girl anymore.

For real?

She said something.

No.

It's what she hasn't said.

You need to see her outside of school.

Cassie's like a different person when it comes to other things.

Trust.

I'm not going to pressure her.

If she's changed her mind, then that's her choice, mate. You still like her?

Well, leave it to me.

Now, why does that make me feel sick?

Are you all right?

I can't get used to my mum not messaging me all the time.

I sort of miss it.

Really, she cares, right?

Do you mind?

I thought, because we couldn't do lunch, how about a date

tonight?

You think I can manage that?

It was Darcy's idea.

And... The thing is...

Let's talk about this later, yeah?

Yes, Darcy.

Sir. Is it ever really right to call a dictator great?

Well, it depends what you define as greatness.

So, who can name me some famous dictators?

Polly?

I... Pol Pot, Pinochet, Idi Amin, Hitler. Well done, Darcy.

All dictators, all mass murderers. But what else do they have in common?

They were all, for a time at least, phenomenally popular.

So, sir, if people like Hitler had been on social media, they'd have had, like,

millions of followers, right?

Probably, yeah.

Dictators tend to be very charismatic.

I would so be a dictator.

Didn't you hear the words mass murderers?

I'm not saying I'd kill anyone or anything.

Just, why waste all your time discussing stuff?

I bet dictators get way more stuff done.

Right, sir?

Well, we'd certainly get more decisions made at schools if we didn't have to run

everything past committees.

People want to be told what to do by someone better than them.

Facts. That's not true. The best leaders achieve change through peaceful

protest, like Gandhi.

Gandhi, hideous gone.

You can't say that.

Stop telling me what I can and can't say.

Free speech.

Hashtag hypocrite. You're so obsessed with the sound of your own voice that

block out anyone who disagrees with you. People want to hear me speak.

When's the last time someone went to one of your flute recitals? It's a

clarinet!

Well, it's a while since we've had such a lively debate.

You two should consider standing in the election.

No, thank you, sir.

OK, then.

Why not?

You were worried about earlier.

I didn't mean to upset you.

I was worried I'd upset you.

Oh, you guys.

I hate talking about myself, right? It's okay.

I get it.

But I also know that it helps.

So maybe I can do an advice thing.

Help other people to talk.

I still think you should talk about what you've been through.

Guess what?

I'm going to run for co -president. Really?

Somebody's got to stand up for that evil despot.

Cassidy. She's running too.

Forget it then.

People like Cassidy, they always shout the loudest. Someone's got to shout back

louder. Nothing's ever going to change if nobody stands up to her.

She's got a point.

So, can I launch my campaign on your pod?

I suppose.

Let's talk strategy.

I knew you'd give in.

Yeah, you don't know everything about me.

Okay.

I'm doing this because I want to, not because you've talked me into it.

Why are you mad at me?

Because you keep going on about the clinic and I'm not going to let my

define me. You don't have to. And just because you weren't away when my mates

school doesn't make you an authority in my life. You told me to make friends

with them.

Right, Daisy, I'm sorry.

Today's just been a lot.

I'll message you later, okay?

Yeah, alright.

What do you reckon?

Yeah?

I like your dress.

Thanks.

Feels good doing this kind of stuff.

Yeah.

I mean, doing this kind of stuff with you.

Um, there's something I haven't told you.

I didn't want you to feel under pressure, so it's sort of a double date.

It was.

Oh, gee.

Cute dress.

I heard one like that in your seven.

Let's go in. I want a good table.

I'm sorry.

I should have told you.

Look, it was a stupid idea.

We can go.

No, it'll be fun.

After you.

I can do this.

I thought it'd be so weak. But then I thought, hello, power.

So? What are your policies?

We're thinking, fabulous Fridays, where everyone has to wear bold colours.

The uniform's so grim and colour drenching is so now.

And as my first lad, you're going to have a total restyle.

Maybe I can do something to address mental illness too. People with sore

somehow. My issues? Yeah, because some people think anxiety disorder is totally

made up.

Like, do I get an attention?

Well done.

I got this.

Refill. Refill.

The thing about anxiety is it's something you can treat.

That's why I got better.

but you'll always be a shallow, self -obsessed waste of space with what looks

like crow's feet.

What do you mean, not crow's feet?

And if you're talking self -obsessed, at least Ivan spent weeks paying people to

listen to me talk.

Summer?

Aww.

A bit triggering.

Darcy told me all about your problem.

I thought it might help.

Sorry. You know what, Cassidy? I couldn't care less if you think I'm a

Now, I spent all day trying to pretend nothing happened, but not anymore.

I'm going to shout about it. No, Splash, you already are. This is nothing.

I'm going to get on Barney's podcast and talk about all the things that make you

so uncomfortable.

Well, enjoy it while it lasts, because when I'm president, I'm grabbing that

self -indulgent track. You are not going to be president. I'm going to run

Polly's campaign, and I am never going to let you win.

Oh.

And by the way, your boyfriend spent all her last time trying to get with me.

Now we can run.

Take a breath.

We

should

do something.

We should.

Or we could just watch.

You get Cassidy, I'll get someone.

Come on, Cassidy, stop it.

Cassidy, stop.

Get off me.

Sam,

old Billy, eh?

Do you ever think about Dad?

All the time.

I'm sick of boys like Ethan and Nathan raking off on how we look.

You can't change the way people think.

Can't I?

Michelle Obama.

You're not shorter in real life.

Wake up in the morning, we rise. When the early bird call it, yeah, we rise.

When we get up in our feelings, do what the phoenix do.

So of course, we rise. When we go to get to class, we rise. When we fuck under

the ash, we rise.

All my friends gonna see this through, because we just do what the phoenix do,

we rise.
