Original subtitles

Life can't be this boring.

Don't be so dramatic.

This family has got fat genes. We just have to be more careful.

Okay. And what do I do with the void in my stomach?

You fill it with love.

What's his name?

- Who? - You know what I mean.

Amauri.

Don't worry, guys. He's the right one.

He makes me feel things I've never felt.

Don't lend him money.

Mom?

Love's a wonderful thing.

Love is why we're always broke.

Enough! If it weren't for love, you two wouldn't be here.

NO ONE WILL MISS US

You have to be smart, Dani.

We inherited both fat genes and emotional stupidity.

We see a man we like and then make the worst decisions.

You've always been single.

Because I'm cautious.

Imagine ending up like Mom at 21, with two kids, trying to make ends meet.

No thanks.

Besides, you're the smartest out of us three.

You can go to college, change things.

You just have to stay away from men.

No good ever comes from it.

Susana!

Slow down a bit.

- What? - You've been avoiding me all weekend.

I don't want to talk to you.

'Cause of the party?

What party? I don't remember any party.

You were there, you heard Marifer.

I don't want to talk about it!

It was the worst party. Everything went wrong.

What else happened?

Nothing! You and your friends ruin everything.

Faggot.

Homo.

Okay.

This doesn't have to be awkward.

We were all at the party, and we all heard Marifer, right?

So let's clear things up.

So, you like Rafa?

No.

Of course I don't. That's stupid.

I just met him.

And... even knowing him that little...

- I'm into girls. - Okay.

You've heard it from him. Our friend is not into Rafa.

I think we can drop this stupid subject.

But why did Marifer say Memo also noticed?

I don't know. Why?

Maybe Marifer was angry after seeing Alex with Pau.

- Not cool. - Nothing happened with Pau.

All right, I understand Marifer is mad, but what she did was way worse.

As my sister says, "Men only bring problems."

This goes to show we should avoid parties.

Honestly, I had a blast.

You got drunk, that's different.

Okay, let's focus on what's important.

Where's Marifer?

Hey.

Hey.

You're not going in?

Don't feel like it.

Is it Alex?

I don't know the details, but I heard about it.

You think everybody knows?

Well, I honestly think...

Yeah.

At this point, even the teachers might know.

No, wait a minute. Marifer is gay.

She confessed to Alex at the party.

Alex went with his boyfriend,

Marifer tried to beat up his boyfriend.

They were fighting, Alex got hit and ended up in the hospital.

I don't think any of that happened.

Yes, it did. Alex is gay.

He's not that flamboyant.

Why would he need to be?

I don't know. Gays are always like that on TV.

Alex isn't even funny.

You shouldn't say that.

- Ilsita is right. - It's Ilse.

We shouldn't be talking about it.

Until we know how to handle the issue.

It's not an issue.

Again, Ilsita is right.

This could be a wonderful opportunity.

What if we have the only gay student in the district?

We could use him to advertise our high school.

What do we do?

Sell tickets for people to come and see him?

You're being a bit insensitive.

Near my house there's a church that helps those kind of people.

They have cured many.

I'm just worried about the kid, I mean...

If the others find out, he'll get bullied.

That's why we need to support him.

Ilsita...

In these cases, the best thing to do is...

Not to get involved.

See? You get it.

Alex, wait. It's better if no one sees you.

You're overreacting.

I know them. If they see you, they'll beat you up.

Memo walk in front, you're taller.

Wait, listen. Don't hide me.

Game over.

- Memito. - We missed you, dude.

How was the hangover?

Well... Fine, I guess...

Fine?

- No way, dude! - You're the man, Memito!

You're the man!

It's fucking great.

Memo! Memo! Memo!

What's that about?

Memo, you're popular now.

Lab in five.

What do you want?

To apologize.

Although I did nothing wrong.

You punched my dancing partner.

It was an accident.

I think it's unfair for you to be mad about it.

Don't we always have fun?

What do you want?

To be your girlfriend.

I already have one, Dani.

And she's cool.

Try respecting her and leave me alone.

- What does that mean? - We're done.

This is over.

Marifer, what are you doing?

You'll miss class.

Do you love me?

- Of course I love you. - Respect me.

- I love and respect you. - Me too.

It's jammed again.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ABSTINENCE

Alex, you know how to fix it.

Go, Alex. Go help her.

Stop it, kids!

What is it, Diego?

Teacher, does this video talk about gays?

No. Of course not.

It's about the benefits of abstinence.

Shouldn't we learn something else?

Abstinence is the most important thing about Sex Education.

Are you sure there's no video about gays?

Because we have someone who needs it.

Stop it, Diego!

Alex is not gay. We dated.

But he dumped you. And he didn't want to sleep with Marifer.

Excellent! He's practicing abstinence.

Enough! That's enough kids.

Being gay is a trend.

Don't worry, Alex. It will pass.

Who knows! Maybe it won't.

Are you okay?

I've never skipped class before.

Calm down, it's fine.

I've skipped thousands.

What if we get caught?

Don't worry, the prefect is always out smoking.

What do I do after?

I have to go back at some point.

I don't want to run into Alex. I don't know what to say.

To argue, not to argue...

Should I talk to him or apologize?

You could skip all classes today. I've never done it, but it's a challenge.

- How do you do it? - What?

Not care about it.

You once failed a test and you thanked the teacher.

Yeah.

Are you busy later?

- Why? - I won't tell you.

I will show you.

- Miss Ilse? - Yes, Tenoch?

I wanted to ask if you've graded the papers.

Yes, but I haven't finished yet.

I'm reading them very carefully.

Word by word.

I want to notice every detail.

Why's that?

Every paper I've read so far is very good.

Yes, as was to be expected.

We are an advanced group.

Yes, you're doing great in every subject.

Thanks to our teachers,

our average grade is third in the district.

Don't worry about the papers.

I think there are more important things to think about, like Alex.

Don't believe everything you hear. It's gossip.

- See you later, ma'am. - Later, Tenoch.

Memo, are you going to the party on Sunday?

Let me know. I'll get you in.

I don't know them.

I've never been invited to a party.

If I go, they never let me in.

I'm not liking this.

Everybody wants to talk to me.

Don't complain.

Do you know what's cool about being popular?

You can do whatever you want.

Date anyone without hiding it.

Are you okay?

Can I tell you a secret? You can't tell anyone.

- No one, Memo! - No one.

Buckle up.

I was here first!

- No, they're cutting in line! - Don't cut the line!

Why are you following me?

I am not.

Don't play dumb.

I know you're excited about the kiss.

It won't happen again, so don't get your hopes up.

Okay...

I didn't want another one.

And technically, you kissed me.

I was vulnerable.

Don't try justifying yourself.

- It's not the first time. - What?

That a girl like you is into me. It's natural.

- Brain over looks. - Are you nuts?

Nobody can know what happened.

My reputation is on the line.

Memo, say something!

Well, Diego has a girlfriend.

I know. That's why I ended things with him.

Good for you, Dani. The truth is, Diego is not a good guy.

He beat me up, and look what he said about Alex...

Yes, I know him.

Then why were you with him?

I hoped it'd be like in The Mischievous Dreamer,

when the asshole changes, 'cause of love.

But...

I guess that never happens in real life.

At least to someone like me.

Alex?

Would you help me take this to my car?

- Yeah, sure. - Thanks.

How are you?

You heard the rumor.

I don't care about rumors, I care about you.

I knew everyone would talk about the party.

I was prepared for it, but it still sucks.

When you're in high school, everything feels like a big deal,

but you'll see, in a couple of years, that the world is different.

Thank you.

I don't think it'll change much.

You'll see.

Once you get older, you can choose more things.

What you want

or who you like.

I'm not gay.

I'm not saying that.

Just to be clear, it's all a lie.

Good. But even if it wasn't, it's your life.

But I'm not gay, okay?

Need more help?

- I'm getting my sister... - No, thanks.

If you need to talk about anything, I'm here for you. All right?

I don't think Marifer is coming back.

If she leaves, we'll have to work double.

Who's going to draw, or write poems?

- Do you write poetry? - No.

Angry employees are a bad sign, especially when we're being watched.

What? By who?

Miss Ilse. I'm sure she knows something but is playing dumb.

Younger teachers are bad. They're nosier.

What is she up to?

I don't know, but it has to do with our papers.

Why are you a perfectionist, Memo? Now she's suspicious.

I'm sorry.

It's too late. Next time.

Dani!

Daniela! Come on, forgive me!

Fine, I forgive you. Bye.

I want to be with you.

For real.

You're the first girl that lets me be who I really am...

I feel that we can talk about everything without being judged.

You're good to me.

Okay, but you're with someone.

What can I do? I don't want to break her heart.

You have to choose. It's not fair to the both of us.

You.

I love you.

I choose you.

I come here to unwind.

I wasn't expecting this.

I can teach you, if you want.

What's wrong?

Can we slow things down a bit?

As you wish.

What matters is we're staying together.

I can wait.

Rafa?

Hi, son. How are you?

How's school?

Good.

Were you supposed to come today?

Yes, but later.

So?

Why are you here?

You want more time for your homework, right?

Yes, I'm leaving already.

Wait, Alex.

What's wrong?

You look sad.

Things aren't great with Marifer.

Don't be sad.

That's how relationships work.

They start and then...

they finish.

But...

Did you and Mom ever break up?

Listen, we can talk once you get back. Okay?

Look at all the tapes I need to rewind.

We'll miss Rafa.

He was quick to rewind them.

He was like a ninja.

Feet on the bolts and bend your knees.

Ready?

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm all right.

I'll try again.

- Finished? - Yeah.

How do I look?

Beautiful.

Amauri is gonna love it.

He always says I can do better. And he's right.

Mom...

How do you know Amauri is the one?

I don't. You just feel it.

But...

How do you know when you're ready to be with someone?

To really be.

You're too young for that.

I'm not that young.

If I ask Lili, she'll just say, "Never."

You have a boyfriend?

You have a boyfriend! That's why you've been so happy.

Is he good-looking?

The most handsome in school.

Good for you. We deserve the best.

You'll know the right time when you feel it.

It's always no.

I haven't even begun and they're already silencing me.

I can't help the kids in any way.

We must accept things the way they are and it's frustrating.

Well, it isn't like you to let things be.

- I don't feel very brave now. - Hey, no.

You're always brave.

Don't forget it.

You dropped something.

I LOVE YOU.

So...

Jero...

- Jero... - Alex...

I heard on the news that gays tend to get AIDS.

What the hell did you just say?

I'm just saying,

- be careful. - You've got the money?

Easy.

- Just looking out for you. - The money!

HOW TO MAKE A BABY? 100 QUESTIONS ABOUT SEX

What's up, Dani?

I'm gonna have sex with Diego.

Jesus.

Biology class wasn't useful. I need facts.

Didn't you break up with him?

Yes, but I'm giving him a second chance.

We're a couple.

He just has to break up with Mariana.

Are you sure about this?

Memo, stop asking questions.

Help me summarize this book.

Memo!

- We need to talk. - What happened?

What are you doing? There's no Sex Ed homework.

No, but just in case.

I love good initiative.

Come, finish that later.

Is that okay?

It's simple, Memo.

Now you'll take the orders and payment for the papers.

That's Alex's job.

Yes, but he needs some rest.

- Also, you're popular now. - No, I'm not.

Memo, we heard you're going to the party. That's cool.

I don't know them, or where the party is.

They treat you like one of them.

You'll be fine, you'll see.

What about Alex?

We'll find him something. Like stapling papers.

Okay.

Alex.

What happened? Are you okay?

It's nothing. I'm fine.

I want to apologize for what I said.

Yes, it wasn't cool.

I'm sorry. But what the hell, Alex?

You treated me like a fool, and you didn't apologize.

It wasn't like that.

You promised we'd have our first time together

- and you lied. - I didn't lie.

It's not a lie.

You don't even want to see or hear me.

I don't like Rafa. It's not fair.

You know, I don't care anymore.

I could have used my time to do other things.

But you know what I did? I tried to make you love me.

So stupid, right?

I'm sorry. Tell me if I'm going too fast.

No, you're good.

What does that mean?

Well, that I love you,

you love me...

and we're almost a couple.

I've been reading all day and I think I'm ready.

Are you saying what I think you're saying?

When?

Now.

Okay.

All right.

But we need to do something first.

Can I get some aspirins...

and chewing gum,

a toothbrush...

and...

- some... - Condoms, please.

What's for dinner, son?

Spaghetti with tomato.

Great, yum!

That's great, 'cause we have a guest.

I invited him

so we can all convince him to stay with us.

Don't be shy. Come in.

How can we help?

Well... You can chop onions and the tomato.

Okay.

Are you sure your parents won't come home early?

Yes, they're at work.

It's early.

Then...

- Should we put on some music? - Sure. What?

Do you have Losing My Religion?

Brenda and Dylan did it to that song in 90210.

No, but I have Héroes del Silencio.

Okay.

It's my very first time.

In case you didn't know.

I love you.

- Wait. - Are you okay?

Yes.

Keep going.

I'm serious, Rafa.

People began to rent art movies since you arrived.

They didn't even go near that section.

I thought they were afraid of it.

I wanted to get rid of it. Right, Alex?

Seriously, I think you're a natural.

You recommend the right movie for the right person.

Yes, you must have lots of talent.

My brother loves going there.

Just think about it.

We want you to work with us.

I'd love to, but my school comes first.

- Kids and school. - I know.

If he wants to leave, let him.

We should respect his decision.

I have to go home.

Let me take you.

I don't want to be pushy, but...

when are you telling everyone we're dating?

I'm planning to break up at the end of the school year.

That way the summer passes

and then we're together.

That way it's less of a shock.

What would be a shock?

Dumping Mariana to be with you.

I don't know. It's not what they'd expect.

What do they expect?

Cut me some slack.

It's not gonna be easy.

Don't be like that, Dani.

I don't need a ride. I can get home myself.

- Thank you for dinner. - You're always welcome.

Well... I predict a great future for you in sales.

- Thanks so much. - Thanks, Rafa.

- See you, Miguel. - Yeah.

- Sure, yes. - Thanks, see you!

Come whenever you want.

Good luck!

Who's gonna help me now?

Rafa!

I thought I wouldn't catch you.

- Breathe. What's up? - Rafa, I...

I went to a party.

Well, never mind.

I went with my girlfriend, she got angry with me,

and said I liked someone else...

That I liked you.

Is it true?

I don't know.

I don't want you to go. I don't want to stop seeing you.

Sister Act.

That's my favorite movie

since watching it with you.

What happened?

Take a guess.

Amauri broke up with her.

He won't pay her back her money.

Men are the worst.

But let's not cry over them.

Get up.
