There's too much choice and not enough time.

One more,

one more.

Aiming for your head, get down.

You're the only one.

Boyable weird creatures.

They can be smart, focused, and really good at what they do.

They can also be the biggest dodos in the universe.

It's like, deep down, every boy has to prove he's really just a three -year

-old.

Still, it'd be really great to meet a nice boy someday.

He doesn't have to be a genius or anything.

Just nice.

Hey, Dreamy!

What are you so deep in thought about?

Nothing. Just watching the early morning circus.

Seriously. How did those guys ever make it past kindergarten?

Maybe they didn't. Maybe today you'll find out. How come?

School, remember?

Oh yeah, school.

So tell me about this school.

Are they big on surfing? Yeah, they actually won the school state titles

years in a row.

Maybe we can make it four.

You do, and you'll be the most popular guys in town.

Excuse me?

Too slow, Mike. It's the quick and the hungry around here.

Did anyone see my school shirt? It's hanging up in the wardrobe.

Oh. That means not on the floor with the rest of your stuff? That's why I

couldn't find it.

Time to move, guys. Hold up.

Lunches. Mike, we've got a ham.

Brooke.

Vegetarian. Thank you.

And I'll have a ham for Corey.

I'm a vegetarian.

You was?

I'm a chicken.

Can I have a ham too, please?

Eric. Yeah.

Oh, I believe you asked for cheese.

Yeah, but ham sounds good.

Well, if you wanted ham, you should have asked for ham, OK? This isn't a

restaurant, mate. Sorry, just asked.

Well, the time to ask was last night.

Right, no big deal. It is, if you have to make them.

Fine. It's OK, Heath. I'll sort it out.

Tuna and go.

I'll swap, OK?

Sure. Sure. Let's go.

Eric. Yep.

Shirt.

Right, wardrobe.

I'll catch you guys up.

He's supposed to be over the top with Eric, don't you think?

Yeah. I thought he was supposed to be this cool, laid -back guy.

Eric is being annoying, though.

There's still no reason to go up at him. Asking for a ham sandwich is hardly

well worth it.

It's Eric.

I think he's just the kind of guy that rubs people the wrong way. He's not that

bad. I think he's cute.

You're kidding.

Eric? It's not like I fancy him or anything. I just think he's cute.

That's all.

You have a weird taste, Amy.

Which of the guys do you like best? Forget it. No way am I even interested.

Not even slightly. This year is a boys' free zone for me. My first and only love

will be surfing.

How can you be sure? Easy. I made a promise to myself and there's no going

Ever? Never.

Oh, this must be a bird.

What? Yona Watson, the world's most conscientious student, actually likes

school. You're forgetting.

I'm a senior now.

Only have to front when I've got a class.

Oh, right.

Cool. Well, I guess we'll be spending even more time together than... Heath?

Yep? Listen, I don't want to interfere or anything, but... But what?

You don't think... I mean, that stuff with Eric this morning. Yeah? You don't

think you're a little tough on him?

Tough on him? You did kind of jump down his throat.

Why? You heard him. He can't find his shirt, his clothes are everywhere, and

then he wants to change his lunch order? What does he think this is? Preschool?

Okay, so he's a bit disorganised, but you didn't have to ball him out in front

of the others.

Well, somebody had to. Otherwise, he's going to drive everyone mad, especially

me.

This is a new sight you have.

I haven't seen it before.

Simmo trusts me to run things properly.

If that means Eric's got a carpet on the chin, well, bad luck.

He'll get over it.

If he doesn't, well, he shouldn't be here.

Right. Well, I'd better get to school then.

Okay. See you tonight, yeah?

Yeah. See ya.

Won't open?

Oh, no.

Stupid thing. Stuck. You need to talk to it.

Sorry? Like this.

Hey, locker.

Open for me, will you?

Now try it.

Still stuck, but thanks for trying.

Sorry, I forgot the secret bit.

Secret bit?

It needs to be persuaded.

How? Like this.

I should do the trick.

Thanks. Things to not learn about me, fucker. I had it last year. I thought

better cruise past and help out the new owner.

Glad you did.

I'm glad I did too.

Better go.

English class.

Year ten?

Yeah. Me too. Come on, I'll show you the way.

Thanks. I'm Sam, by the way. Brooke. Pleased to meet you, Brooke.

Looks like Brooke's boy -free years got off to a good start.

Perfect start, I'd say.

Hey, Amy.

Who's that guy with Brooke?

Jealous, Mike?

Get off. I was just wondering if he was, you know, some kind of hotshot local

surfer. That's all. I don't know.

Yeah, I helped her open the locker this morning.

Now it looks like this is her new best friend.

Not Romeo and Juliet.

I did all the Shakespeare, I could stand up and laugh.

I'll organise a petition for you if you like.

Maybe we can even get a student protest going.

Sorry, I thought you were... Where's Amy?

Hey.

Who's that guy Rachel's sitting with?

What am I, an introduction agency?

I was just wondering if you knew him, that's all.

Corey, it's my first day at this school as well.

So you don't know him?

Go over and introduce yourself if you're so curious.

No, no. No big deal. Just wondering.

You're one of the new Solar Blue crew, aren't you? Yep, that's right.

And you know how to choose a decent board?

Maybe. Listen, you interested in doing a trade?

What sort of a trade?

My sister did Romeo and Juliet last year.

I've got all her notes.

Great, but... I'll do a copy for you, if you help me choose a new board.

You serious?

Dead set.

Sure, no problem.

I'm aiming to get it this week.

That okay?

When this week?

Saturday, around lunchtime.

I'll even check your lunch if you like.

Okay, if you want.

Dylan, by the way.

Rachel. Guess we got a deal then?

Yes, we have.

We're very industrious, mate.

Time to get on.

Get organised for what?

Daily routines with the kids. They're worse than a bunch of headless children.

You reckon?

Their approach to training's been spot on.

Yeah, well, domestically, they're a nightmare.

Really? Like three -year -olds, native and nanny.

Maybe they just need a bit of time to settle into a routine.

No, not these kids.

Unless they rein them in now, they'll also be in shambles for the rest of the

year.

OK.

You're the boss in that department.

So what's the whiteboard for?

This.

He's going to be there, Nanny. And she'll be very, very strict.

Okay, Saturday then? After you finish training?

Of course.

I better go. I've got to get changed for sport.

What?

Nothing. Just admiring your determination to have a boy for a year.

It must have lasted a whole 11 minutes.

Come on, be... ahead of Brooke, Rach.

It's at least 12.

Ha ha, look who's talking.

Let's leave that Wayne class.

Do a strictly business.

Oh yeah, it looks very friendly business to me.

For your information, Dylan is going to cop up all his sister's notes on Romeo

and Juliet.

Great. And if you're both really nice to me, I might let you have them too.

And what does Dylan get in return?

A quick trip to the surf shop to help him choose a board. But that's it?

That's it.

Still, Brooke would be right, Rach.

It could be the first step in the road to...

True love.

Amy, who started you on here?

Amy, I think this is yours.

I must have picked up someone else's.

Anyway, I've told you my deal.

What's this about you having a date with Sam on Saturday? It's not a date. We're

just going to a few surf shops. The ones with good discount.

You're going shopping?

Yeah.

With a guy?

So?

Still sounds like a date to me.

Are you sure that's mine?

Says Amy, here.

No, this one's mine.

Six. Oh, must be another Amy in our class. Sorry.

No worry. Thanks for asking me, though.

Hey, um, aren't you one of the total blue guys?

Yeah.

Listen, I know we haven't met or anything, but I was wondering if you

me out.

I don't know. What's the problem?

Hey, have an interesting first day?

Interesting enough.

Who's that guy talking to Amy?

Um, I think he's in our English class.

I hope he's not hassling her.

She doesn't look too hassled.

Yeah, that'd be great. So, six o 'clock be all right?

Six o 'clock Saturday.

No worries. Okay, I'll let you get back to your lunch then.

See ya.

Hey, um, Tori, Mike, I thought we could get the movie Saturday night after

training? Yeah, yeah, sounds good.

You be in it?

I'd love to, guys, but I've got an appointment.

Me too.

Okay, Amy?

Me three.

Sorry.

Uh, sandwiches.

Put it this way.

There's a twist between these and cardboard.

I choose cardboard.

This would have to be some kind of record, wouldn't it?

What? The three of us, first day of school, and we all get asked out on a

I keep telling you, mine's not a date.

So it's two dates and a non -date date.

Anyway, Amy, you haven't told us where you're going yet, so yours mightn't be a

date either.

Larry's friend's opening an internet cafe.

He asked me to go along to the party. That's a real date date. Kind of.

giving out surfwear prizes.

They want someone vaguely associated with surfing to do it.

So he asked me.

Still an invite to a party.

True. Like I said, it's a real date day.

Saw you surfing out there. You looked great.

Thanks. Listen, I don't want to interrupt your training or anything.

Oh, no, it's cool. Wrapping anyway.

Cool. There's been a bit of a change of plans about the cafe part.

What kind of change?

It's been brought forward to Friday night.

That's pretty radical.

Hasn't everything been organised?

Yeah, you kind of had no choice, though. Something to do with council bylaws or

something.

You think you can still make it?

Yeah, yes, sir.

Well, if you'd like to be OK?

Fine. I'd better leave you to it, then.

Hey, Larry!

What's this internet cafe called?

I've got to tell him here where I'm going.

He hasn't chosen a name yet.

Got an address then? No worries, I'll bring it to you Friday.

Cheers.

Nice work, guys.

We're all showing some good form out there. Well done.

Hey, Simmo.

Hi, what's up?

Heath wants the house meeting.

What for?

I think he wants to present his new housekeeping plan.

Oh, right.

Simmo, you're going to have to talk to him. He's gone completely overboard with

all this.

It's a new job. He's trying hard. I don't want to kill his enthusiasm.

Then you'd better hope his enthusiasm doesn't kill everybody else.

Okay, each of you is represented by a colour.

To see what you're doing on any particular day, just simply look for

on the graph.

Hey, Amy, you're yellow.

So on Monday, you can see that you're washing. Tuesday, you're vacuuming.

Wednesday, you're doing bathrooms, and so on and so forth.

OK, simple, easy, and straight to the point. OK, any questions?

Yeah, what happens if you want to swap duties?

Easy. Just exchange your colour block with whoever's block you're swapping

What if you forget to put the block back?

Ah, well, you won't. Some people might. Well, you'll just have to remember,

won't you?

Rachel. I can't actually do vacuuming and dusting because I've got asthma. So

could I do double bathrooms and washing instead?

Um, yep. No, no, no. That means someone's doing double vacuuming. Yeah,

double dusting.

Uh, yeah, I think. Corey, you got me down for Monday of doing cooking, but

enrolled in a night class at school then. And I have to help with the

most nights because of my allergy diet.

Um, hang on, but that means you're doubling up on duty.

It's okay. I don't mind. No, no, because I don't know how to fit the box. Oh,

you cut the box in half. Or you can make the boxes bigger.

You can't do that. It won't fit on the board.

Well, there's got to be some way to do it because it's not working like this.

Yeah, well, there's obviously a few things left to sort out.

But it's a great idea, Heath. Excellent idea.

And I'm sure once you get the teething problem sorted out, it'll work a treat.

So, in the meantime, I suggest we revert to the old system while Heath sorts it

out. And that's okay with you, isn't it, mate? Yeah, that sounds reasonable to

me. Good.

Excellent.

Dinner time. Who's cooking?

Why, and if anyone doesn't want meatballs and salad, I'm quite happy to

bathroom duties.

All right, just get on with it.

Step it up, Rach.

Go get your pink phone for the big ad on Saturday.

You don't have any Saturday.

What? Why not?

Feeling cold last night when you were in bed.

Come on, let's make it Thursday night now.

Now come.

Reckons there's a board sale starting then. What's the crack of any bargains?

They're starting a board sale on Thursday?

That's what he reckons.

Amy, Rachel, get a move on.

Solar Blue, it's Tim O speaking.

Oi, that's my toast.

Sure, mate.

Who's speaking?

Just hold on a sec.

Brooke. For me?

That's what he said.

Sam, I think.

Ooh, slamming Sam's a bit desperate for one this time of the morning, isn't it?

Hey, what time did you get to bed last night?

Two, three.

Not working on the whiteboard all that time.

Yeah, but I think it's quiet by the time everyone's home from school. I'll be

all sorted.

Uh, where's the lunch list?

Oh, you don't worry about it, hey? What do you mean, don't worry about it?

Can't starve.

It's all right, mate.

Look, we've got it for you.

How come?

I should do the lunches. It's my job. We figured you being so busy with all the

admin stuff that we'd step in and lend a hand.

Yeah, we do it before training.

No, it only takes ten minutes. Happy to do it every day.

Very happy.

Oh, thanks, guys, but I think it's probably best if I do the lunches.

We don't want to disrupt the system.

He wants to bring your date forward to Wednesday.

It's not a date, right?

Your non -date's date.

But why?

So the shops would be less crowded. Better to check things out. And you

him. Why wouldn't I?

We're only checking out a few shops.

And having coffee afterwards.

How do you know?

Uh -huh. So it is a date.

Look, it's no big deal.

Nothing's gonna happen. Wrong. Something is happening.

Amy, I don't even know if I like him. I'm not talking about that.

Look, first day of school and we all get asked out by guys.

So? We might be fabulously irresistible.

Just thought I'd throw that in. But you're right, it was a bit of a

Then Larry changes my date from Saturday to Friday.

You get a call last night changing yours to Thursday.

And suddenly Brooke gets asked to front up on Wednesday.

It does sound a bit weird.

It's more than weird.

Something's definitely going on.

How long before we have to leave for school?

20 minutes?

Come on.

Excuse me, Mr Computer Expert, we need a favour fast.

OK, but only because you asked me so nicely.

Sorry.

Can you please do us a favour?

What's up? If we wanted to find any blogs coming out of Bluewater High, how

would we do it?

Two ways.

One, you could do a search on the net.

And two?

You asked me.

I've already checked them out. They are seriously boring.

There goes that idea, then.

One's about some old surfy trying to relive his past.

Another's about...

Some loser trying to blame the school for every crime in the district, and

there's Tina and Michelle's girly goss.

I didn't look at that.

Bring it up.

Are you serious?

Completely.

All right, you two go through it. I'll be back in a minute. What are we looking

for? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure you'll know when you see it.

Come on, Heath. Give that a rest for a while.

What are you doing? Shouldn't you be at school?

Come. I've got something important to do. Like what?

Like take you surfing.

What, now?

Yep, and if you don't come, I'll trash your whiteboard. And that's a promise.

But why now?

Just come, okay?

Come on.

Okay.

Just as I thought. I rang the council and there's no new internet cafe opening

on a Wednesday.

Looks like you found something.

You were right. We did know it when we saw it.

What's it say?

Maybe you should read it yourself.

Tina and Michelle now reveal that Year 10's super smoothies, Sam, Larry and

Dylan, are kicking off the year in style. The three Romeos are competing to

who can score the first date with one of the solar blue chicks.

I knew it. It was a set -up. There's more.

Fellow students have chipped in $50 as first prize.

Which handsome hunk will be the winner and which ditzy blonde surfer girl will

he pull?

Ditzy. I'm not ditzy. And I'm not blonde.

We've been so humiliated. I'm really going to give it to those guys. Me too.

Hey, wait. Hang on.

There's a better way to do this than just mouth off at them.

What way?

I don't know, but I will by the time we get to school.

What am I doing here? I should be working.

How long has it been since you've been out surfing?

I don't know, a few weeks since I got this job again.

That's way too long.

You've probably forgotten how to do it.

Yeah, right.

Come on then, prove it.

Okay, there's a ferry leaving at 6 p .m.

Sounds perfect.

All right, let's do it.

You'd like me to go out with you tonight?

It's a bit sudden.

I'd understand if you couldn't make it.

No, I mean, of course I can make it. That'd be great. We'll meet on the

The one leaving at six?

No problem. I'll be on it. Look for me on the up deck. Look for me on the lower

deck. Meet me outside near the bow.

Sure. Oh, and dress as formal? I hope that's alright.

No problem.

Got it.

See you at six.

It's alright.

I needed that.

It was good to see the old heap again. I almost thought we'd lost him.

I haven't changed that much.

Wanna bet?

Have I?

Look, I know these kids are different to our group, but they get anything done

and they're conscientious.

Well, I'm not.

You're too conscientious.

You don't need to run things like a military can.

You've just got to relax and enjoy it.

But Simo said... But Simo wants that too.

Why hasn't he said anything?

He's too scared of heading with you.

Well, what do you think I should do?

You should trust that white horse for a start.

And then?

And then just... be yourself.

Where are the girls?

You looking for us?

Hey, thanks for coming.

You must be Tina and you're Michelle?

Yeah, what's going on?

We're the ditzy blondes from Solar Blue.

We've got a story for you, blog.

What sort of story?

Reverse date sort of story.

What's that?

Watch. Go, guys.

Hi, Larry.

Sorry, change of plans.

Could you come up the back?

Don't worry, you'll have no trouble finding him. Hi, Sam.

Yeah, I'm here. But you need to come up the back on the water side.

Oh, don't worry. I'm very easy to spot.

Hi, Dylan. Come up the back. The view's so much better. It'll really surprise

you.

Got your camera ready?

This could be the blog shot of the year.

Hi,

Sam. Hi, Dylan.

We figured since you're all so keen to be first on a date, we'd let you go up

together.

Oh, by the way, you look terrific in those outfits.

Tina's getting some terrific shots for a blog.

Anyway, you've got a long night ahead of you, so better let you go.

Hopefully people turn the tables on them like that.

Pretty good for dissy blinds, hey?

I promise never to call you that again.

Now, can we get a shot of you for the story, please?

Sure, why not?

Okay, girls.

Smile!

Dizzy!

Sometimes you just have to get back at the boys when they behave like three

-year -olds.

But in order to do it, you sort of have to behave like a three -year -old

yourself.

So does that mean that... Deep down, we're all really just three roles?

I don't think so.

Some of us are at least four, aren't we?
