1 00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:21,420 You're the only one. 2 00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:36,050 Emily, I've never got to know anyone like I got to know the others who have 3 00:00:36,050 --> 00:00:40,790 at Solar Blue with me. We've all become incredibly close, so much so that I find 4 00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:44,630 it really hard to imagine life without them. In fact, if I was going to be 5 00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:47,810 totally honest, I don't want to imagine life without them. 6 00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:49,310 Take Lauren, for instance. 7 00:00:49,810 --> 00:00:52,230 It's pretty much impossible not to like her. 8 00:00:52,610 --> 00:00:56,770 No matter what you're doing, Lauren is always the first person to step up and 9 00:00:56,770 --> 00:00:57,770 help. 10 00:00:58,270 --> 00:00:59,310 Lauren, what are you doing? 11 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,300 What's the matter? Don't you like my company? Oh, I'm not even going to 12 00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:04,300 that. 13 00:01:04,340 --> 00:01:08,020 So? So, it's my job today. You go hit the first. Stop. 14 00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:10,900 Last thing. It'll be done in five minutes. 15 00:01:11,180 --> 00:01:15,240 That's Lauren. She can't help herself from helping people. If that's a fault, 16 00:01:15,380 --> 00:01:17,380 then I wish it was a fault shared by lots of others. 17 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,080 Then there's Bridget. 18 00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:22,880 I admit that at first I was a bit afraid of her. 19 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,800 Apart from having the looks, the clothes, the talent, she seems so 20 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,710 together. Then I realised that underneath it all, she was just as shy 21 00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:34,610 uncertain about things as the rest of us. 22 00:01:34,890 --> 00:01:37,910 Hey, there's a karaoke night tonight at Surf Club. Are you coming? 23 00:01:38,130 --> 00:01:39,230 No, thanks anyway. 24 00:01:39,570 --> 00:01:40,488 Why not? 25 00:01:40,490 --> 00:01:42,250 I've got a couple of emails to fix up. 26 00:01:42,450 --> 00:01:43,450 Oh, boring. 27 00:01:43,950 --> 00:01:46,050 Come on, you can do that any time. It'll be fun. 28 00:01:46,570 --> 00:01:50,070 To tell you the truth, I'm not really that keen on singing, especially not the 29 00:01:50,070 --> 00:01:53,990 public variety. Come on, you have a beautiful voice. Get out. 30 00:01:54,270 --> 00:01:54,908 You do. 31 00:01:54,910 --> 00:01:57,610 I've heard you singing too many times in the shower not to notice. 32 00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:01,180 It's one thing to burble away to yourself in the shower, but it's another 33 00:02:01,180 --> 00:02:02,500 to sing in front of other people. 34 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,620 Listen, it is no big deal. 35 00:02:06,540 --> 00:02:08,919 We're just going to go there to be silly and enjoy ourselves. 36 00:02:09,539 --> 00:02:13,360 Six months ago, I'd never have believed that I'd be the one giving Bridget 37 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,400 encouragement. But that's what I did these days, and she did the same for me 38 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,820 when my confidence was flaky. 39 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,860 We could do this stuff because we trusted each other, which in the end is 40 00:02:23,860 --> 00:02:24,860 what it's all about. 41 00:02:25,530 --> 00:02:29,510 Among the boys, the friendship that surprised me the most was the one I had 42 00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:34,930 Guy. I've never had so many arguments in my life as I've had with him. In fact, 43 00:02:34,950 --> 00:02:36,910 we all argued with him about everything. 44 00:02:38,230 --> 00:02:40,250 I am seriously bored. 45 00:02:41,390 --> 00:02:42,870 Oh, you did them? What's the matter? 46 00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:45,110 Yeah, aren't we interesting enough for you anymore? 47 00:02:45,450 --> 00:02:49,110 No, it's just that we've finished our exams and now we're just filling in time 48 00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:50,910 until we get the results. How useless is that? 49 00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:53,810 Well, what about those two assignments we've still got to hand in? Why do we 50 00:02:53,810 --> 00:02:55,730 have to be here? We could do that at home. 51 00:02:55,930 --> 00:02:58,490 Yeah, and you would be down the beach in five minutes. 52 00:02:58,750 --> 00:03:03,790 No. I bet you would. I know you would. What is this? Doesn't anyone believe 53 00:03:03,790 --> 00:03:06,030 I can act in a mature, responsible manner? 54 00:03:07,950 --> 00:03:09,130 Oh, great. 55 00:03:09,390 --> 00:03:11,170 lot of friends you all turned out to be. 56 00:03:11,410 --> 00:03:12,670 Who said we were your friends? 57 00:03:12,870 --> 00:03:16,270 Okay, so I take it that nobody thinks that we'd be better off at home. Sorry, 58 00:03:16,270 --> 00:03:17,189 mate. 59 00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:20,710 You're on your own with that one. Oh, in that case, you'll give up on a lot of 60 00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:21,710 you. 61 00:03:22,430 --> 00:03:24,930 I'm going to talk to my lunch. It's way more interesting. 62 00:03:26,190 --> 00:03:27,190 Hello, lunch. 63 00:03:27,770 --> 00:03:29,750 So, what are your thoughts on music downloads today? 64 00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:33,870 Really? Give me time to digest that. 65 00:03:34,090 --> 00:03:35,090 Oh, dude. 66 00:03:36,820 --> 00:03:40,640 Guy's opinions were always out of left field and always getting up someone's 67 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,860 nose. But our lives would have been a lot duller without them. 68 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,680 And the really great thing about Guy was that no matter how hard you argued 69 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,980 against him, he never took it personally. 70 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,460 You need to put more backspin on it, Kath. 71 00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:00,220 Backspin? What's backspin? 72 00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:01,609 I'll show you. 73 00:04:01,610 --> 00:04:04,910 In some ways, Charlie was even more of a surprise packet than Guy. 74 00:04:05,130 --> 00:04:07,750 At the start of the year, he was focused only on himself. 75 00:04:08,330 --> 00:04:11,190 But after he got sick, it was like he changed completely. 76 00:04:11,530 --> 00:04:15,630 Now he was the easiest person in the world to get along with. 77 00:04:15,930 --> 00:04:17,709 And one of the most generous, too. 78 00:04:20,490 --> 00:04:22,590 Just like that. 79 00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:23,790 Give it a go. 80 00:04:23,810 --> 00:04:25,590 Just like that. Just like that. 81 00:04:28,170 --> 00:04:30,030 You two can't watch! 82 00:04:30,990 --> 00:04:32,250 Are you kidding me? 83 00:04:32,490 --> 00:04:35,670 We can't miss this. It could be a moment in pool playing history. Don't listen 84 00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:36,670 to him, Cass. 85 00:04:38,050 --> 00:04:38,490 And 86 00:04:38,490 --> 00:04:46,170 then, 87 00:04:46,170 --> 00:04:48,710 of course, there was Adam. 88 00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:53,090 After never having had a boyfriend before, I now just had about the best 89 00:04:53,090 --> 00:04:54,090 could possibly imagine. 90 00:04:54,850 --> 00:04:56,590 Very nice style there, young lady. 91 00:04:56,830 --> 00:04:57,830 Oh, thank you. 92 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:58,639 Do you want a hand? 93 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,620 I don't know why we got on so well together. 94 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,220 What I did know, though, was that I was really glad we did. Is that a Zell 95 00:05:05,220 --> 00:05:06,179 Campbell hotel? 96 00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:07,380 Oh, Mum Zell would. 97 00:05:08,020 --> 00:05:09,020 Thanks. 98 00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:12,800 Why are you being so nice to me today? 99 00:05:13,180 --> 00:05:14,180 It's Tuesday. 100 00:05:14,260 --> 00:05:18,080 Oh, so does that mean you're only going to be nice to me on Tuesday? 101 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,400 No, it means I'm going to be nice to you every day. But I'm going to be extra 102 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,400 nice on Tuesday. 103 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,860 I think I can live with that. 104 00:05:25,580 --> 00:05:26,580 But are you sure? 105 00:05:30,420 --> 00:05:31,420 Absolutely positive. 106 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,760 I know that soon we'll be going our separate ways. 107 00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:38,840 We both desperately want to get out and explore everything the world has to 108 00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:43,600 offer. But whatever happens in the future, I hope I never lose Adam as a 109 00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:47,960 If I'm talking friends, I can't overlook Beck either. 110 00:05:48,420 --> 00:05:52,700 I've never had a big sister, but if I had a choice of anyone in the world, 111 00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:53,700 Beck would be the one. 112 00:05:54,460 --> 00:05:58,520 Oh, Cassie. Hey. I thought you were supposed to be training. I am going, but 113 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,740 just needed to ask you something. Sure. 114 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,480 Look, I know it's our last week and all that, and we should be focusing on the 115 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,620 finals, but... But? 116 00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:11,300 Wouldn't it be nice to have some kind of small celebration? 117 00:06:11,740 --> 00:06:14,940 Something small. It doesn't have to be some big deal late night sort of thing. 118 00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:17,280 Just something to close off our time together. 119 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,800 Before we have to go at each other's throats in the finals. 120 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,880 I'm already two steps ahead of you, Cassie. 121 00:06:23,140 --> 00:06:24,140 You are? 122 00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:28,340 Yes. As it happens, you get your exam results tomorrow, so Gary and I were 123 00:06:28,340 --> 00:06:32,100 thinking we'd take you all out for a celebratory dinner at the Beach Cafe. 124 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:32,979 I hope we all pass. 125 00:06:32,980 --> 00:06:35,900 I'm sure you will. Besides, it's Lauren's birthday tomorrow night, so we 126 00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:36,900 make it a double celebration. 127 00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:39,520 Ah, yeah, that sounds awesome. 128 00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:40,959 Thanks, Beck. 129 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,940 That about sums up Beck. She seemed to know what all of us were thinking before 130 00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:45,960 we even knew ourselves. 131 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,020 And just like Gary, she treated everyone the same and never played favourite. 132 00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:51,950 We trusted both of them completely. 133 00:06:52,470 --> 00:06:55,630 If Beck was the big sister, then Gary was the big brother. 134 00:06:56,090 --> 00:07:00,450 Sure, he balled us out all the time and made us work super hard at training, but 135 00:07:00,450 --> 00:07:02,790 that's what we're all here for, and that's what we wanted. 136 00:07:03,190 --> 00:07:04,390 Get out there and show me. Go on. 137 00:07:04,650 --> 00:07:07,890 Do my best. I don't want your best. I want better than your best. 138 00:07:08,170 --> 00:07:10,770 Okay. Any last instructions for me, coach? 139 00:07:11,070 --> 00:07:14,390 Just to get out there and do it. That's all? You know what to do, Cassidy, and 140 00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:16,770 you know how to do it. So let's proceed in action, right? 141 00:07:16,990 --> 00:07:17,990 Right. 142 00:07:18,090 --> 00:07:21,810 That was the thing about Gary. He never overcomplicated it. 143 00:07:22,050 --> 00:07:25,310 All good things are basically simple, and that's how Gary made surfing. 144 00:07:25,850 --> 00:07:27,090 Clear and simple. 145 00:07:27,610 --> 00:07:30,970 And at the end of the day, this was the glue that held us together. 146 00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:32,710 Our love of surfing. 147 00:07:32,930 --> 00:07:35,030 And boy, did we love it. 148 00:08:14,860 --> 00:08:18,820 Lucky was I. Could anyone ask for a better, more fantastic bunch of friends? 149 00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:25,480 Generous, loyal, talented, funny. Only a seriously stupid person would risk 150 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,040 losing them, right? Well, here's today's newsflash. You're looking at a 151 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,880 seriously stupid person. 152 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,460 I read somewhere that most fights usually start over something that's very 153 00:08:36,460 --> 00:08:37,460 and silly. 154 00:08:37,549 --> 00:08:41,549 What happened next was about as small and silly as you can get. Remembering 155 00:08:41,549 --> 00:08:42,549 we talked about yesterday. 156 00:08:42,970 --> 00:08:44,790 It's like Lauren's copying another earful from Gary. 157 00:08:45,130 --> 00:08:48,090 She'll be jealous of all this personal attention before the finals. 158 00:08:48,350 --> 00:08:53,090 I know Bridget was only joking, but it suddenly struck me that what she said 159 00:08:53,090 --> 00:08:54,090 true. 160 00:08:54,230 --> 00:08:58,090 Gary had been helping Lauren a lot lately, more than the rest of us put 161 00:08:58,090 --> 00:08:59,450 together. How are we looking, coach? 162 00:08:59,750 --> 00:09:00,870 Oh, spectacular, boys. 163 00:09:01,070 --> 00:09:02,070 No last -minute pointers? 164 00:09:02,190 --> 00:09:03,470 None worth worrying about now. 165 00:09:03,690 --> 00:09:04,750 What about us?

No. 184 00:09:59,820 --> 00:10:02,280 We spend the whole year working on that stuff. If you haven't got your act 185 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,880 together now, no last -minute fix -ups are going to make any difference. 186 00:10:05,380 --> 00:10:06,380 Hang on a minute. 187 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,820 What was Gary saying here? 188 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,860 We'd all just seen him do the exact reverse of that. 189 00:10:11,540 --> 00:10:14,320 Sorry, Gary, but weren't you going through some technical stuff with Lauren 190 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,500 today? Yeah, I did, actually, Cathy. But in Lauren's case, it's just a very 191 00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:20,820 minor adjustment of something we've been working on all year. 192 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,600 Just needed a bit of reinforcement. 193 00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:25,160 What he's saying is I'm a slow learner. 194 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,240 But I don't understand. Wouldn't that apply to all of us? 195 00:10:28,650 --> 00:10:30,750 I mean, don't we all have things that need to be reinforced? 196 00:10:31,230 --> 00:10:33,030 Well, if we did, Cassie, don't you think I'd be doing that? 197 00:10:33,610 --> 00:10:35,050 I don't know. That's why I'm asking. 198 00:10:35,450 --> 00:10:39,090 Like I said on the beach, you are all in spectacular form. I don't want to 199 00:10:39,090 --> 00:10:40,049 meddle with that now. 200 00:10:40,050 --> 00:10:43,550 You know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. So I guess all we can do now is try 201 00:10:43,550 --> 00:10:45,230 to find ways to forget about the finals. 202 00:10:46,050 --> 00:10:49,210 Well, there's always this small matter of getting our exam results back. 203 00:10:49,610 --> 00:10:51,470 And we can't forget Lauren's birthday tomorrow night. 204 00:10:52,070 --> 00:10:52,969 That's right. 205 00:10:52,970 --> 00:10:54,950 Small celebration down at the beach cafe. 206 00:10:56,050 --> 00:10:58,110 Perfect time to have a birthday, Lauren. 207 00:10:58,350 --> 00:11:00,630 Thanks, even though I had nothing to do with it. 208 00:11:00,870 --> 00:11:01,970 We'll give you credit anyway. 209 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,740 You look like you've just discovered the new bag you've been given isn't fake. 210 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,360 Yeah, maybe it is. 211 00:11:22,860 --> 00:11:23,860 Sorry? 212 00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:36,100 I don't get it. Why does Gary go on with all this stuff about leaving us alone 213 00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:37,700 but then spend hours coaching Lauren? 214 00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:41,320 I don't know. I guess it's like he said. He's just getting her to practice 215 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,580 something he's already taught her. 216 00:11:42,860 --> 00:11:44,000 Yeah, but it's only her. 217 00:11:44,780 --> 00:11:46,200 It's like he's trying to give her an edge. 218 00:11:46,730 --> 00:11:49,430 Are you saying you think he's favouring her? 219 00:11:49,710 --> 00:11:50,710 What do you think? 220 00:11:51,770 --> 00:11:54,250 I don't believe it. Beck and Gary wouldn't do that. 221 00:11:54,810 --> 00:11:56,330 So do you think I'm being paranoid? 222 00:11:56,670 --> 00:11:57,669 It's the finals. 223 00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:59,150 We're all getting a little strung out. 224 00:12:00,090 --> 00:12:01,150 Don't worry about it. 225 00:12:02,970 --> 00:12:03,970 Good night. 226 00:12:07,230 --> 00:12:08,550 Maybe Bridget was right. 227 00:12:09,070 --> 00:12:11,330 Maybe I was making a mountain out of a molehill. 228 00:12:11,690 --> 00:12:14,150 Let's face it, it wouldn't be the first time. 229 00:12:14,790 --> 00:12:16,350 But something still seemed wrong. 230 00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:18,650 I just wish I knew what it was. 231 00:12:19,890 --> 00:12:23,810 As it turned out, I got the answer quicker than I could have ever bargained 232 00:12:24,090 --> 00:12:28,250 And this time, there was no doubt whatsoever about what was going on. Of 233 00:12:28,250 --> 00:12:29,630 you can do it. We know you can. 234 00:12:30,330 --> 00:12:33,590 We really believe in you, Lauren. You're one of the best surfing prospects to 235 00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:34,590 come through this place. 236 00:12:34,730 --> 00:12:37,890 Absolutely. And you will do terrifically well in the circuit. There's no doubt 237 00:12:37,890 --> 00:12:38,890 about that. 238 00:12:39,090 --> 00:12:41,170 So if I make it... When? 239 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,100 You make it. You have to be that positive, Lauren. 240 00:12:44,980 --> 00:12:47,480 Okay, but what about Cassie and Bridget? 241 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,520 They both want this so much. It will be devastating for them if they lose. 242 00:12:52,220 --> 00:12:53,640 That's not your problem, Lauren. 243 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,200 Look, they've known all along there can only be one winner. If it's not them, 244 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,360 sure, they're going to be disappointed. 245 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,600 But they'll get over it. It's not like they won't have other opportunities. 246 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,340 Yeah, losing the final is not going to be the end of everything for either of 247 00:13:06,340 --> 00:13:08,060 them. They'll more than manage. 248 00:13:08,750 --> 00:13:10,930 If you're sure things can work out. 249 00:13:11,350 --> 00:13:12,309 Totally sure. 250 00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:14,670 And you promise the others won't find out about this? 251 00:13:14,970 --> 00:13:15,970 No way. 252 00:13:16,990 --> 00:13:21,470 Thanks. Well, I guess I better get through the break. I think that's a 253 00:13:21,470 --> 00:13:23,290 idea. You've got a big few days coming up. 254 00:13:25,070 --> 00:13:27,070 I couldn't believe I heard what I'd just heard. 255 00:13:28,130 --> 00:13:31,650 Beck and Gary were telling Lauren she was going to win. How could they do 256 00:13:31,670 --> 00:13:32,870 Why would they do this? 257 00:13:33,550 --> 00:13:36,150 And what could Bridget and I possibly do about it? 258 00:13:37,390 --> 00:13:39,130 So, Lauren, what do you want for your birthday? 259 00:13:39,410 --> 00:13:43,230 I told you I don't want any presents. Just a nice meal together is plenty. 260 00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:45,050 Yeah, I know, but we want to get you something. 261 00:13:45,330 --> 00:13:47,410 Yeah, a memento of our time together. 262 00:13:47,870 --> 00:13:51,170 I don't need any more stuff. I've got enough of it. 263 00:13:51,490 --> 00:13:54,950 How about a group photo? We could get a frame. Yes, and then we could all dress 264 00:13:54,950 --> 00:13:55,950 up in costumes. 265 00:13:55,970 --> 00:13:56,970 How about no? 266 00:13:57,270 --> 00:14:00,130 I would just suggest it. It'd be great. That's something I'd really love. 267 00:14:00,450 --> 00:14:04,150 Thanks. It's funny. You live with someone for a whole year and you think 268 00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:04,859 know them. 269 00:14:04,860 --> 00:14:07,720 We all thought Lauren was sweet, lovable and generous. 270 00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:11,680 The minute the prize came up for grabs, though, she turned out to be the exact 271 00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:13,220 opposite. Woo -hoo! 272 00:14:13,540 --> 00:14:14,540 82 %! 273 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,160 If that's not a good year's result, I don't know what is. 274 00:14:18,860 --> 00:14:22,880 I knew you could do it. So what about you geniuses? What did you get, Charlie? 275 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,960 91. Only 91? 276 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,240 Well done, buddy. 277 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,600 Well, it's not quite up to Bridget's level, though. 278 00:14:29,180 --> 00:14:30,440 OK, super brain. 279 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,200 Hit me with the bad news. 280 00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:34,300 Ninety -six. 281 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,260 Ninety -six? That's appalling. You're lucky you're not getting chucked out of 282 00:14:38,260 --> 00:14:40,380 home. But, congratulations. 283 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,900 Maybe if I leave it here long enough, some luck will rub off. 284 00:14:44,420 --> 00:14:48,980 Luck? Nothing. That was all hard work. So, what about you guys? Barely scraped 285 00:14:48,980 --> 00:14:49,899 through, did we? 286 00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:51,740 Eighty -seven. Eighty -seven. 287 00:14:51,980 --> 00:14:54,020 What? That means I came last. 288 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,340 I still could see we'll never recover. 289 00:14:56,900 --> 00:14:58,260 I think we're ten minutes. 290 00:14:58,540 --> 00:14:59,540 No, I reckon five. 291 00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:02,120 Oh, there's hope for me yet. 292 00:15:02,510 --> 00:15:03,590 Cassie, what did you get? 293 00:15:04,330 --> 00:15:06,150 86. Well done, Cass. 294 00:15:07,010 --> 00:15:08,190 Bridget, can I see you for a minute? 295 00:15:08,590 --> 00:15:09,590 Sure. 296 00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:14,010 What's wrong with Cassie? 297 00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:15,750 I hope they said a word all day. 298 00:15:16,130 --> 00:15:18,130 Yeah, she's probably just stressing about the exam results. 299 00:15:18,390 --> 00:15:19,390 You know how she is. 300 00:15:19,570 --> 00:15:23,190 Stressing? I should be the one stressing. I came last out of all you 301 00:15:23,250 --> 00:15:25,070 82 is still a good result. 302 00:15:25,350 --> 00:15:28,070 Yeah, especially for someone who never answers the question properly. 303 00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:31,290 True, I suppose. When you put it like that, I can't complain. 304 00:15:31,820 --> 00:15:35,080 But you're going to anyway, so... Yeah, and what are friends for, eh? 305 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,700 I can't believe it. 306 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,460 I can't either. 307 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,700 No, it can't be true. You must have misheard something. 308 00:15:45,020 --> 00:15:46,020 No, no way. 309 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,040 Beck and Gary were telling Lauren that she'd win and not to worry about us 310 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,560 disappointed. And then Lauren made them promise to keep it a secret and they 311 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,379 both agreed. 312 00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:58,520 This makes the whole year a big shame. You know, why would Beck and Gary do 313 00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,640 this? And Lauren. 314 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,760 It's just not like her. I mean, why? 315 00:16:03,260 --> 00:16:05,160 I guess the idea of winning just got to her. 316 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:06,760 I mean, we all want it. 317 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,040 When it got handed to her on a silver platter, I guess you couldn't resist. 318 00:16:12,140 --> 00:16:14,840 And so now, we have to decide what to do. 319 00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:17,980 Well, I guess there is only one thing we can do. 320 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,960 We need to talk to Beck and Gary today as soon as we get home from school. 321 00:16:22,380 --> 00:16:25,200 What about Lauren? If they're the ones that have put her up to this, we need to 322 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,200 confront them first. 323 00:16:27,580 --> 00:16:28,580 Besides... 324 00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:33,190 What? If this is true, then I don't ever want to speak to Lauren again. 325 00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:38,190 As it turned out, the conversation I was dreading had to be put off. 326 00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:41,750 Beck and Gary had gone out and left a note saying they'd met us at the beach 327 00:16:41,750 --> 00:16:45,630 cafe. Whoa, don't you look like the birthday princess. 328 00:16:46,030 --> 00:16:47,030 Thank you. 329 00:16:47,070 --> 00:16:49,490 Well, we're right to go then. What about Cassie? 330 00:16:49,930 --> 00:16:52,310 Um, I think she's just sorting out what to wear. 331 00:16:52,530 --> 00:16:54,630 Oh, I'll go chase her up. No, it's all right. Good girl. 332 00:16:54,930 --> 00:16:55,930 I'll see you guys there. 333 00:16:56,170 --> 00:16:58,690 You sure you don't want us to wait? No, we can't wait. 334 00:16:58,910 --> 00:17:03,450 We're wasting valuable party time. And tell Cassie to hurry up or I'll eat her 335 00:17:03,450 --> 00:17:04,710 dinner as well as my own. 336 00:17:06,410 --> 00:17:07,569 You sure you don't want me to wait? 337 00:17:07,849 --> 00:17:09,030 Positive. We'll see you there soon. 338 00:17:09,290 --> 00:17:10,290 Cool. 339 00:17:16,290 --> 00:17:17,290 What's happening? 340 00:17:21,369 --> 00:17:23,250 I don't know if I can go through with this. 341 00:17:24,470 --> 00:17:25,690 It's only a couple of hours. 342 00:17:26,109 --> 00:17:28,069 We'll talk to Beck and Gary as soon as we get back. 343 00:17:28,690 --> 00:17:31,450 But I can't just sit there and pretend that everything's normal. 344 00:17:31,710 --> 00:17:32,850 It's not normal. 345 00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:34,190 I know. 346 00:17:34,410 --> 00:17:36,310 But the boys have been looking forward to this. 347 00:17:36,550 --> 00:17:38,270 They're still our friends. We should do it for them. 348 00:17:39,250 --> 00:17:41,950 They're going to find out the truth very soon, though. 349 00:17:42,350 --> 00:17:44,070 It'll shock them as much as it has us. 350 00:17:44,390 --> 00:17:47,410 Maybe that's all the more reason that we should have one last good time all 351 00:17:47,410 --> 00:17:52,030 together. Because once they find out, we won't get the chance to do that again. 352 00:17:53,930 --> 00:17:54,930 Okay, then. 353 00:17:56,030 --> 00:17:57,230 That's not going to be easy. 354 00:17:57,630 --> 00:17:58,630 I know. 355 00:17:59,410 --> 00:18:03,750 Having to sit through Lauren's birthday and play dumb was the hardest thing I've 356 00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:04,870 ever had to do in my life. 357 00:18:05,530 --> 00:18:09,410 I couldn't believe how she and Beck and Gary could pretend they weren't all 358 00:18:09,410 --> 00:18:10,910 hiding this terrible secret. 359 00:18:12,790 --> 00:18:17,170 Thank you all so much. 360 00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:21,610 I just want to say what a fantastic year it's been. 361 00:18:22,459 --> 00:18:26,460 And how lucky I feel to have found such a wonderful group of friends. 362 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,120 And I really hope that whatever happens on Saturday, I think you're all winners. 363 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,480 Just a pity some winners are more important than others. 364 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,020 Sorry? It must be pretty easy to praise a competition when you already know the 365 00:18:42,020 --> 00:18:45,200 results. Cassie.
