you're the only one

When you live on top of each other, like we do, you've really got to trust your

friends.

I mean, there's the basics, like trusting them, say, not to nick your

to do their share around the house.

But it goes beyond that.

If you want to stay friends, you have to trust them to do the right thing, by

you and by everybody else in the house, too.

But what happens if they break that trust?

Is that the end of the friendship?

I'm all set.

So where do you want to go?

I was thinking maybe we could check out that nature park up in the hills.

Hey guys, have you seen Charlie?

No, sorry Lauren.

Oh, well you can come with us if you like.

Yeah, just grab another bike.

Thanks, but I've lined up Bridget and Guy for a set. I'll see you both later.

Okay. Ciao.

Are you all set?

Yeah, let's roll.

Race you to the gate.

Hey, I was ready.

Cheater.

And

the

winner is one.

Thank you.

There you go. You cheated.

I didn't actually hear any rules when you sped up.

Well, I'm still registering an official protest.

Go ahead, little loser.

See, you're like this guy here.

Totally untrustworthy.

Really?

Well, you're more like that guy over there.

What a koala.

So you mean I'm cute and cuddly?

No. Slow and dopey. All you do is eat and leak.

Hello. Nice to meet you, Skippy. Hello.

Hi, this is Charlie.

Oh, what's he doing here?

I don't know. Sam is us, I guess.

No one alone couldn't find him. Come, let's go over and surprise him.

Mate, hang on.

He's already got company.

Who is that?

I don't know. They look pretty close, though.

It's about time we got back for training anyway.

Come on.

Cassie.

I know what's going through your head.

But there could be a perfectly innocent explanation.

Then why is he being so secretive about it?

He wasn't being secretive. Okay, up in the hills, away from everyone else?

Well, maybe it's an old friend or a family member.

Charlie comes from Western Australia. All his friends and family members are

thousands of kilometres away. Okay, but he's our friend.

So we have to give him the benefit of the doubt. And Lauren is our friend too.

Exactly. That's why we have to be careful we don't upset her for no

reason? He's making out with another girl behind her back. We don't know

Come on, Adam. It is obvious.

Kathy, we can't say anything about this until we are completely certain.

Okay? Okay.

Hi, guys. How was the bike ride?

Yeah, it was okay.

What's up with you two?

Somebody died.

No, just a bit tired off the ride, that's all.

Hey, Lauren, this is addressed to you.

Yes, it's from my parents.

Looks like a care package.

Yum, homemade jam.

Chocolate -coated macadamia nuts.

How good is that?

Check out the size of this letter.

The parents send me five -word emails, but put a pen in their hand, and they go

crazy. Hey, um, Lauren, are you going to open these?

Yeah, after dinner.

Come on, gang. We're doing something a little bit different for training this

week. Meet me out the front ASAP.

Oh, at last.

The Wanderer returns.

Sorry I'm late.

Just in time. We were about to leave without you.

Where have you been?

I thought we were meant to go surfing.

Oh, sorry. I got a bit sidetracked.

Sidetracked? How?

Plenty of time to chat later. Jump in, Charlie. We've got to get moving.

So where are we going?

They're keeping it a mystery.

We'll tell you this much. We're going to the lake. The lake?

All right, everyone, grab a paddle and a lifejacket. Canoe?

Why canoe?

Because it's tricky going canoeing without them. And does anyone want to

we're canoeing?

Okay, why are we canoeing? There's a charity canoe race next week, and Solar

Blue is one of the sponsors.

So we've entered three mixed teams.

Sounds like fun.

The better you do in this race, the more publicity for Solar Blue. So we need

you to do well. As an incentive, we're going to give you two points for

competing, but if you finish in the top three position, we'll double it. Top

three? Hang on.

Some of us have never been in a canoe rake before. Some of us have never been

a canoe.

I've always fancied myself as a bit of a canoeist.

I reckon this could be my new calling in life.

I don't think I'd be surprising anyone if I said that none of you are likely to

make it to the next Olympics.

Finally something we were doing brilliantly.

A little practice, that's all we need.

How about a lot more practice?

That's the idea.

But the problem is Gary and I have to go to a solar blue management conference

for the next couple of days, so we won't be around to help you. So how's that

going to work?

Well, we'll just have to trust you to turn up and do the training by

Think you can handle it? Yeah.

Of course. Oh, and I'd just like to say that in Gary's absence, I'm quite happy

to take over as head coach.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, Charlie, can you pass the sauce, please?

Sorry, what?

It's to Charlie. Pass the sauce.

Oh.

Sorry, I was somewhere else.

Oh, give me a second.

Hey. No, it's fine. What's up?

The call must have been from that girl. Otherwise, why would he have taken it

outside? You're jumping to conclusions again.

No, I'm not.

What are we going to do about this, Adam? We aren't going to do anything

it's not up to us.

It's not like we're Charlie's parents.

You know me, Adam. Sooner or later, I'm going to burst out and say something.

I'll tell you what.

How about I have a word with Charlie without letting on what we saw?

and see if I can suss out what's really going on.

Hey, Charlie.

How's it going?

Okay.

Big day, huh?

What with all the canoeing and everything?

Yeah, I guess.

So, how's everything with Lauren?

Lauren? Yeah.

You guys getting on okay?

Yeah, fine.

That's good, because she's a really great girl.

She is.

One of a kind, really.

Definitely. And she's so cute, too. Like, wow.

Any guy would just be so lucky to have her as his girlfriend.

Are you telling me you have the hots for her?

For Lauren?

Me?

Not at all.

Are you sure? Because that's what it sounds like.

No way, man. I didn't mean it to sound like that.

What do you mean?

I was just trying to make conversation, that's all.

Anyways, I've got to go.

Brush my teeth.

Oh, how did the bloke to bloke talk?

Not as well as I'd hoped.

All right, everyone. Who wants to go to the lake after breakfast for some more

canoe practice? Yeah, I'll be in that.

Sure. Me too.

Could we do it at lunch instead? I've got something on this morning.

Uh, something on? Like what?

It's a doctor's appointment.

Funny, you don't look sick to me. Kathy.

I'm having some tests, okay, to make sure I'm over glandular fever.

If that's okay with everyone. Yeah, sure, mate, of course.

Yeah, no problem. We can do training at lunch.

Yeah, don't worry about it. Okay.

See you later then.

What was that about?

Nothing, just got out of bed the wrong side this morning. Sorry.

Once you start doubting someone, it eats away at you little by little.

Charlie was supposed to be our friend, but now we were having trouble believing

him about anything.

Stop the appointment here, right. Look at him, it's so obvious he's thinking

about her.

He's probably just figuring out his strategy for the rest.

Ready?

What happened to you two?

I don't know.

I'm sorry, I guess canoeing's not my thing.

Charlie,

are you okay?

Yeah, sure.

Just you seem distracted.

Were the test results bad or something? Yeah.

Oh, no, no, the doctor said I'm in perfect health.

What is it then? You seem like you're on another planet.

What's wrong?

You mean apart from my awful canoeing? Apart from that.

This isn't a good time to talk.

Hey, guys, we're going to go back to the house for a bite to eat. You coming?

Okay. Um, I can't.

Why not?

Well, I... I have to go to the post office to mouth some things to my folks.

I'll see you back there.

Hey, beach pool looks perfect.

Anyone up for a swim?

Yeah, sure. Just let me get changed.

Uh, yeah, we'll meet you down there, okay? Okay.

Look, I can't keep pretending much longer.

Pretending what?

Kathy. It's time we told them anyway.

Told us what?

Listen, I just don't think it's a good idea... Come on, Adam. Maybe they can

help us work out what to do.

Yeah, okay.

We think Charlie is seeing another girl. Another girl? As in a girlfriend girl?

What? That's nuts. Charlie's mad about Lauren. Well, that's what we thought.

remember when we went on that bike ride the other day?

Well, that was the beginning.

So we took them through it, like a pair of lawyers for the prosecution.

Exhibit A, the first sighting at the nature park.

Exhibit B, that suspicious phone call.

Exhibits C and D, those flimsy excuses Charlie kept giving.

And exhibits E and F.

His complete lack of interest in training.

Then we rested our case and asked for the verdict.

I don't believe it. Neither do I. Even if Charlie was seeing someone, he'd tell

Lauren about it. He's not the kind of guy to sneak behind someone's back.

Well, then why is he covering something up? If there's nothing to hide, why is

he hiding?

Have you said anything to Lauren yet?

No, Adam thinks we should wait till we're completely sure.

Yeah, I'm with him.

Me too.

Besides, I don't think we should interfere. This is something that those

should handle.

But Lauren is our friend.

Yeah, so is Charlie.

Speaking of Lauren, did she open these or did we?

Oh, I did.

They were from her family.

Yeah, I know, but I just wanted one and then I... And then we finished off the

whole tin.

Oh, it's okay.

I'll just borrow a new tin. She won't even know.

Good idea. I'll come with you.

Hey Cassie, weren't we meant to meet Lauren down at the pool?

Oh yeah.

Who would have thought it could possibly be so difficult to find a tin of

chocolate macadamias? Well isn't there anywhere else we can try?

Not around here.

Wait Adam, check out that cafe.

What?

Oh man.

I wish I hadn't seen that.

Is that her?

Yeah, that's all right.

Okay, now I'm almost convinced.

Hey, listen.

Whatever you do, don't mention this to Cassie. Why not?

She'll go ballistic.

And I don't particularly feel like being an accessory to murder.

When you stop trusting someone, everything changes. Even dinner.

It's amazing how difficult it is to have a conversation.

When the one thing on your mind is the one thing you can't talk about.

Anyone feel like a chocolate? I haven't opened that to him yet.

Um, I'm actually really full. Yeah, me too.

I'm not really in a chocolate mood. Me neither.

Okay, I guess there's always tomorrow.

So, who's up for a game of pool?

Yeah, okay.

I am. Count me out, I'm going to play.

Now? Yeah, I'm pretty tired.

I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Peace out. Bye.

Whether we liked it or not, though, one thing was becoming more and more

obvious. We couldn't sit on this for much longer.

Something was going to have to give, and soon.

Charlie, where are you?

We're all waiting.

Call me when you get this.

Look, you guys start training without us.

Sure. Yeah, go ahead.

Okay, well, let's go get your canoe so you're ready to go. Thanks. Okay,

guys, we've got to do something because this is just getting ridiculous.

You think Charlie's having another secret rendezvous like yesterday?

Like yesterday?

Adam and Guy saw them at the cafe, didn't they tell you? No.

Thanks a lot, Adam.

Don't look down. Here we come.

Sorry I'm so late. Something important came up. I just couldn't get away.

Something important, right? What was it this time?

It was family stuff.

Family? Don't your family live in Western Australia?

Yeah, they do.

Do I really need to go into it, though?

No, I just wish you'd stop lying.

What? Kathy, please.

No, I can't keep quiet about this any longer.

Keep quiet about what? We all know what's going on, Charlie.

We're all of us except for Lauren. What are you talking about?

We've seen you with her.

Her? Yeah, your new best friend.

Sorry, mate. The game's up.

We saw you with her at the nature park and then again yesterday at the cafe.

How could you do this to Lauren?

Lauren? It's got nothing to do with Lauren. You're sneaking around with some

other girl and it's got nothing to do with Lauren. Whoa, what?

Oh, that's ridiculous.

You know what? I really don't need this right now.

I'm stressing out from people I thought were my friends.

Sally?

Where's he going?

Lauren, I wish I didn't have to tell you this, but you have to find out sooner

or later.

I made us some hot chocolate.

Thank you. You don't have to fuss.

I'm okay.

Really.

You do seem to be taking this really well.

A lot better than I would, that's for sure.

Now that I've had time to think about it, I've decided it's just not true.

Lauren, come on.

We know you don't want to believe it, but... I know, Charlie.

He'd never do anything like this. He just wouldn't.

Anyway, I need to clear my head.

Who wants to come for a surf?

Uh -oh.

Do you want to go to another beach?

Don't be silly.

Just let me talk to him alone.

Sure. Yeah.

Hi. Hi.

Cassie's told me heaps of stuff.

You don't believe any of it, do you?

Not really, but... But?

I thought there weren't any secrets between us.

I thought we could trust each other.

What happened, Charlie?

Look, give me half an hour, okay?

I'll meet you back at the house and I'll explain everything.

I promise.

Who brought her here?

Lauren, there's someone I'd like you to meet. This is my sister, Ellie.

Hi.

Pleased to meet you, Ellie.

Feels like I know you already.

Charlie spent half the last two days talking about you.

You ever had a moment when you wished a rogue meteor would crash through the

roof and take you out?

Well, this was one of those moments.

And these are the others I was telling you about.

Hello. Hi.

I thought you were at boarding school in Melbourne.

Oh, I'm supposed to be. I've been taking a holiday, so I could talk to Charlie.

So if I've been monopolizing him or anything, I just, I really needed his

I would have told you earlier, but Ellie wanted me to keep it private until now.

So, um, how about the three of us go get a coffee or something?

Sure, I'd love to. Cool. All right, see you guys later. See you later. Bye. Bye.

Sister.

Boy, did you get it wrong.

Can someone please shoot me now?

No, me first.

How am I ever going to make up for this?

Oh, I was thinking some grovelling.

A bit more grovelling from you. Some serious grovelling from you.

Yeah, a bit of grovelling.

So, I've been at this school for six months and I totally hate it.

I mean, plus she misses all her friends back in Perth. Mum and Dad have said

I've been going there, so I don't know what to do.

Have you told them how you feel?

No way, they'd freak.

They think it's like the best school on the planet. I told her I'd talk to them

about it, but she doesn't think that's a very good idea.

She's right.

Just tell them the truth. Straight out. The truth.

My life won't be worth living.

I bet they don't react anywhere near as badly as you think they will. You

obviously don't know Mum and Dad.

Hi, Charlie.

Hi. We just want to wish you guys luck. And to apologise again.

And again and again and again and again.

It's okay, I can see how it must have looked. Next time though, just trust me,

will you? I mean, at least talk to me about it. We feel so awful about it. If

there's anything we can do. Yeah, like waxing your board for a month.

Or giving you a foot massage day and night.

Alright, yeah, okay, I can work with that.

Your competitors, please assemble at the starting line.

Come on, Charlie, that's us.

Alright, I'll see you out there. Good luck, mate.

Ready,

set.

now put some sweat into it

Congratulations, mate.

Hey, thanks, mate.

Oi, hey, you and Cassie didn't slacken off, did you, so we could take our

Of course not.

You sure?

Guess you'll just have to trust us, won't you?

OK, see ya.

Hey, that was Ellie. She spoke to Mum and Dad, like I said.

And? A compromise.

She's given the school one more term, but if she still hates it, she can go

to Perth.

Fantastic. Let's celebrate. I'll open those chocolates.

Oh, Adam. It's OK.

We found an identical tin in a boutique chocolate shop.

Like one?

I would love one. Don't mind if I do.

Aren't you going to have one?

I hate macadamias, but I thought my friends would know that by now.

Here, do you want one?

Me too.

Thanks.

So how far should trust go between friends?

If you ask me, as far as you can possibly stretch it.

even when all the evidence is stacked up against them.

A friend is a friend.

And in the end, that's pretty much all that matters.
