"Any day now, we're gonna be classmates."

I really can't wait.

Teenage love is forever frowned upon.

Do adults forbid love because they mean well?

Or because they can't accept the truth?

DRESS CODE FOR FEMALE STUDENTS TIPNAREE WITTAYA SCHOOL

CORRECT PROSTRATION POSTURE TIPNAREE WITTAYA SCHOOL

A VIRTUOUS LADY IS A NATIONAL TREASURE

TIPNAREE WITTAYA SCHOOL

We can't merge with the boys' school. Just tell me what this is all about.

We have no other choice, Miss Naruemol. Our school is running at a loss.

Our esteemed school...

is acclaimed for producing highly virtuous ladies.

If you suddenly let those boys swarm in here like pestering flies,

they will tarnish our school's fine reputation.

We can keep our reputation,

but I won't have the necessary funds to pay you.

Are you fine with that?

These male students are like termites, you know that.

Once they start eating away our home, they'll never ever stop.

And that fine reputation that we've established?

It will all but crumble to the ground.

Crumble to the ground?

So are you saying these boys are termites or are they flies?

They're both.

Just read what they're sending to our girls.

- Hmm. - I can't bear it anymore.

Oh.

These boys are much more naive than I had imagined.

Do you know that back in my day,

boys were far worse?

Laugh all you want but I will not allow this.

I know you love this school very much,

but you seem to have forgotten

that I don't need your permission to do anything.

I called you here

because as chief administrative officer of the school,

you'll come up with our policies

to help prepare our impressionable students

for the transition about to take place.

Our reputation might be tarnished,

however, we'll earn the money needed to keep the school running.

Are we clear?

I must say that I'm quite disappointed by this decision of his.

I mean, our principal practically opened the gate

for the enemy to take over our land. Don't you think?

Hmm...

I actually don't think it will do much harm at all.

Our students will have to meet boys eventually one way or another, you know.

But this isn't the time in their life to fight.

These girls are incredibly delicate.

They are like beautiful flowers in their first bloom.

We must provide them utmost care and guidance.

They're at a very vulnerable age.

They're easily distracted.

The boys are also at quite a precarious age.

They lack both maturity and responsibility.

It's risky, you know.

We're putting our students at risk of being demoralized.

I agree with you, Naruemol.

We must preserve our students' virtue at all cost.

If we can't agree that this is a real problem,

we'll never get through it alive.

Well articulated, Linda.

I've been here a long, long time.

I'm well aware of the fine reputation that our school has achieved.

So, I'd like to volunteer as the leader to help us get through this moral crisis.

But we all must join the fight.

I'll do all I can imposing policies...

going the extra mile until with the victors.

And brave Linda...

I'll need your might on the battlefield.

It would be my honor.

But we must begin right away.

Because the students are already talking about the merger.

How awful.

There hasn't even been an official announcement yet.

It's already getting out of control.

Who would have leaked the news about this?

Hey.

I heard our school will merge with the boys' school next door.

- Is that true, Nanno? - Yes.

Will we have boys in our class?

How will that work?

I won't know how to carry myself.

What will we do in gym class? How will we manage?

What if we have to work on a report together at home?

- Just the thought stresses me out. - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

There's nothing to worry about. Boys are harmless.

- Really? - Hmm.

Mm-hmm. I went to a unisex school before.

Boys aren't as scary as you think.

How so?

One time, a group of boys dared each other

to slide down the stair's railing while I was on the lookout for them.

When a teacher showed up, they all just ran away.

It was fun.

That's funny.

TIPNAREE WITTAYA SCHOOL RULE NUMBER ONE,

GIRLS MUST NOT LAUGH AT BOYS' LAME JOKES

TO APPEAR LADYLIKE

Have you guys ever heard what they say about the girl's school uniform?

Don't skirt me now.

Here they come.

So, hey there. I'm Nanno. Nice to meet you.

I'm Punjan. These are Pob, Man and Yong.

These girls are Mind, Ploy and Khao.

It's so nice to meet you.

Hmm.

How can they hear you from all the way over there?

Why don't you come closer?

- Okay. - These boys don't bite.

I want to give you a tour around the school,

but I'm also the new kid here.

I should let these girls do it.

Huh? I don't think that's appropriate, Nanno.

But I remember that a virtuous and well-mannered lady

should always be kind towards others.

- Mm-hmm. - Am I right, Namnueng?

Yeah. She's right.

Come on. I'll show you guys around.

Mm-hmm.

This is the music room.

So, if this is the Tipnaree music room...

then I'm guessing there must be a lyrics room somewhere else, right?

You see, I told you that boys are really funny.

Oh.

Nanno.

Let's move on to the next room.

This is the art room.

- The art room? - Yes.

Is this where you do embroidery and stuff?

No. That's home economics class.

What about this room?

This room? This is for girls only.

- Boys aren't allowed. - I want to see it.

They stand so close.

What should we do about this, Naruemol?

I think I have just a way.

Today is the day we welcome the male students to our campus.

To make sure all classes run smoothly and on time,

I'd like to inform you of one small rule.

We'll implement the practice of social distancing.

Boys and girls must keep distance from each other.

Starting with the morning assembly,

girl and boy students will be kept in separate lines at all times.

The girls will form a line on the left side.

The boys will form a line on the right side.

You may proceed.

From now on,

you will be put in separate classes.

This isn't only to preserve the purity of the girls.

We'll also raise boys to be gentlemen.

Run. Run faster. Run faster.

Run faster. Come on.

This is good for you. Exercise is good for you.

It will make you sweat.

You must distract your obscene mind.

Thank you so much.

Chocolate has hereby been banned.

It can stimulate sexual desires in men.

TIPNAREE WITTAYA SCHOOL RULE NUMBER TWO

STUDENTS MUST SAY UHT DRINKS OR PASTEURIZED DRINKS INSTEAD OF MILK.

- I'm exhausted. - I know.

Don't you think this is a bit much?

Well, kind of, yeah.

I feel so bad for the boys. Look at them.

Their hands shake so much, they can barely eat.

Mm-hmm.

I'm so tired.

- Hmm? - What's he saying?

Mm-mmm.

Pob says he's really tired.

Hang on. Do you have his phone number?

It's normal for friends to exchange numbers.

Ah.

Would you like me to add you to the group chat?

- Mm-hmm. - So you can talk to them too.

- All right. - Sounds good.

Hmm.

I added you to the group.

- Accept my invite. - Okay.

MINT JOINED THE GROUP POON JOINED THE GROUP

MINT: ARE YOU EATING ONLY VEGETABLES? POOR YOU.

BALL: THEY ARE NUTRITIOUS.

NANNO: DO YOU NEED MORE NUTRITION?

BALL: CAN I HAVE YOUR MILK, THEN?

NANNO: OKAY.

BALL: THANK YOU.

You know you can't use your phones at lunch.

Who are you talking to?

What is this?

"Take you, take you, take you."

TAKE YOU

"Take you"?

I think you should look at the messages more carefully.

THANK YOU.

BALL: CAN I HAVE YOUR MILK, THEN?

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my goodness.

He asked for your milk?

He asked to have my box of milk. What do you think he meant by that?

Can I have your milk, then?

Let's see.

I'd love to try that.

I must handle this.

TIPNAREE WITTAYA SCHOOL RULE NUMBER THREE,

GIRLS AND BOYS CANNOT TEXT EACH OTHER.

YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE SUSPENDED IF YOU GET CAUGHT.

What's wrong with the internet?

- Can I get one copy of the photo? - Mm. Me too.

Sure.

- Gosh. - Ah. Hey.

It's so cold.

So, have you thought about what department you will apply for?

Hmm...

- I want to apply for Education. - Mm.

And after I graduate, I wanna come back to teach here.

Hmm? Right here?

- Mm. - Oh, wow.

Then, I think Nareetip Wittaya School

should maybe crown you as their most generous alumni?

Wow. Thank you.

- I'm going to cry. - Are you touched?

Aren't I sweet?

But I think you'll make a great teacher.

THE EDUCATION OFFICE PRESENTS

THE OUTSTANDING TEACHER AWARD TO MS. NARUEMOL SRISIRIWIMOL

THANK YOU, MISS LINDA. THIS WORK MUST BE TAXING FOR YOU.

ANYTHING FOR YOU, MISS NARUEMOL.

NAREETIP WITTAYA SCHOOL RULE NUMBER FOUR

Hey, are you still chatting with the boys?

I am.

But I thought your account also got suspended.

I have a new app now.

- A new app now? - Mm-hmm. The app True Love.

It lets you talk to people at school anonymously,

so teachers can't tell who we're talking to

or see what you're saying to each other.

You never know, maybe, you might find a friend or even find a boyfriend.

Hmm.

So, I can just download it and use it right away?

That's right. You can download it and get started.

Amazing. I'm going to download it.

ALIEN: WHO ARE YOU? GIVE ME A HINT.

SWEET LEMON: DID YOU JUST LOOK ME IN THE EYE?

This is so exciting.

Yeah. I want to know who I'm talking to.

SMILEY ELEPHANT: ARE YOU MY JUNIOR OR SENIOR?

This is way out of line.

Did you introduce your friends to this obscene platform?

Obscene?

What does that mean?

This is a... a blind-dating app.

It's a disgusting platform

where you share private things with strangers.

A disgusting platform? It's just a chat room.

I think this app lets us see people's inner beauty

and it may help us to find a true friend.

And who knows?

We might even find true love on this app.

What about you?

Did you ever fall in love with someone when you were in school?

Watch it. Don't get nosy about my life.

Kids your age should focus on your studies.

You should not be focusing on finding love.

Just take it from me.

Love will bring you big trouble and don't forget that.

Some girls might lose their virginity.

Some of you...

might even get pregnant.

I know that.

If things get out of hand...

students may do obscene things, won't they?

If you understand...

you must delete that app this instant.

Delete it?

But I think this app might be useful for the teachers.

You can use it to monitor the students here.

What are you saying?

Don't you think it's always better...

to be the one in the know?

I think you want as many students as possible using this app.

This app keeps users anonymous.

But then again, you know,

you have names, birth dates and passwords of every student.

You could use this app to monitor everyone's conversations

before they stray too far.

No one will know.

But it's up to you.

Hmm...

It's all up to you.

Maybe you don't feel like it's worth the risk.

Maybe you're afraid you'll get carried away.

But don't worry, you'll just be chatting over text.

No one will get pregnant.

You're right.

Please set up an account for me?

EMPTY VASE

EMPTY VASE: I GET DISHEARTENED SOMETIMES

THAT NO ONE APPRECIATES MY HARD WORK.

DAFFODIL: I GET IT. YOU JUST WANT TO BE APPRECIATED.

EMPTY VASE: IT'S LIKE I'M FIGHTING ALONE WITH NO ONE BY MY SIDE.

DAFFODIL: PLEASE KNOW THAT AT LEAST YOU HAVE ME.

Ruethai.

I spent ages looking for you.

What is wrong, Ruethai?

You can tell me anything.

You know you're my best friend.

I can do anything for you, Ruethai.

Hmm.

I really wish I had a boyfriend like you.

Of course, Ruethai.

- I can be anything for... - Ruethai.

Forgive me.

I was wrong.

Please give me another chance.

NAREETIP WITTAYA SCHOOL RULE NUMBER FIVE, CHANGE OF RULE

Here are the names of students having dirty conversations.

Dear students,

unfortunately, we've discovered that some of you

are acting in defiance of our school's rules.

I have no choice but to impose even stricter rules upon us.

I'm doing this for your own well-being.

From now on, female students attend classes in this building.

And male students will take their classes over there.

And for some of you who are here...

we'll be taking your phones away immediately.

Teachers, you may proceed.

Hey, you two. Can you keep your distance from each other?

Otherwise, I'll have boys and girls use separate hallways.

- Good afternoon, Miss. - Good afternoon.

Hello there.

I was worried that you might be tired so I brought you something to drink.

Why are you following me?

How's it going? Did your plan to spy on the students work?

When I read what students text each other, I can feel myself start to blush.

I don't know. Do you feel the same way too?

There's nothing interesting about it. It's all nonsense.

I know, right?

It's a real shame, though.

Everyone's starting to suspect that you are also using the app.

I don't care much about that silly app.

I just need to find a way

to keep boy and girl students away from each other.

I'm sure you'll find a way.

Excuse me.

I think I heard some weird noises coming from that room over there.

- Ah. Oh. Huh? - Huh?

Hey!

What are you two doing?

- What are you doing? What are you doing? - It's not what you think.

Stop it.

Didn't I tell you to stay away from each other?

Let's go, Punjan.

I have some bad news to tell you.

Ruethai isn't with us anymore.

She had an abortion and lost too much blood.

The doctor couldn't save her precious life.

I'm sorry to say, she's dead.

Do you have anything to say for yourself, Miss Naruemol?

I was trying to prevent horrible things from happening to both of my students.

They have no idea what could happen to them.

This happened.

Punjan and Namnueng were apparently studying together.

They dropped this eraser on the floor, so Namnueng bent down to pick it up.

Do you honestly believe them?

I wasn't there, so I don't know.

What I do know is, Punjan got ten stitches for the cut on his head

and his parents may very well sue us.

Miss Naruemol...

for the sake of our school...

I have no choice but to fire you.

What did you say?

I'll help clear up the problem you've caused,

but I must ask you to leave the school immediately.

What will become of this school if I leave?

We will go back to being a straightforward unisex school

like it was supposed to be.

DAFFODIL: DON'T FORGET THAT A VASE MAKES A FLOWER LOOK PRETTIER.

EMPTY VASE: I GET DISHEARTENED SOMETIMES

THAT NO ONE APPRECIATES MY HARD WORK.

DAFFODIL: PLEASE KNOW THAT AT LEAST YOU HAVE ME.

DAFFODIL: I GET IT. YOU JUST WANT TO BE APPRECIATED.

EMPTY VASE: IT'S LIKE I'M FIGHTING ALONE WITH NO ONE BY MY SIDE.

Attention, students.

This morning, I've asked Miss Naruemol...

to come say goodbye before she leaves us.

Therefore, I'd like you to pay close attention.

Miss Naruemol has been a teacher here for a long time

and was a student here herself.

I'm sure she has some words of wisdom to share with you all.

The stage is yours, Miss.

Thank you so much.

Dear students...

our school is currently undergoing quite a few changes.

I'd like every female student...

to maintain your virtue and chastity.

As for the male students, please keep your distance from the girls.

Once you're out in the world...

you will all be happy and safe.

Students.

When the right time comes,

you will all find so much happiness in having a family, a family of your own.

I want you all to maintain your virtue and chastity.

Are you listening to me?

Empty Vase.

Daffodil.

I get everything now.

What do you get?

I don't just look up to you.

I think I'm actually in love with you.

Love me?

I have feelings for you.

That's obscene.

We're both women.

Love is the warm feeling that fills up your heart.

You feel joy when you're near the person you love.

Do you know that my heart feels warm every time I'm near you?

What about you? Do you feel the same way about me?

You're my very best friend.

I would do anything for you.

Naruemol, please open your heart to love.

Love is never wrong. It's people who make it so.

No matter what form love takes, isn't it still love, Naruemol?

I know you feel disheartened that no one sees how hard you work.

But I see it. I do.

It's like I'm fighting alone...

with no one by my side.

Please know that...

you have me right here with you.
