(alarm beeping)

- What's that?

- My alarm.

5:30.

Time to get dressed.

- Do you have to go?

- It's called having a job.

- Ever heard of taking a sick day?

- That isn't an issue.

- Tell me that's not what I think it is.

- You want some?

- Um no, all good here.

- Have you like, done stuff before?

- Yeah, heaps.

Just was planning on having more of like a chill day today.

- Suit yourself.

- So is this like, a regular thing for you?

- Babe, relax.

(Celeste screams)

- Brayden, how many times do I have to tell you

not to do that?

- Just calm down, I'm sorry.

And I'm sorry about the other day as well.

- Why?

What makes you say that? - I don't know,

all that stuff about Ruby

just sounds a bit suss to be honest.

- Huh, took you long enough.

- Look, what can I say?

I'm a bit slow on the uptakes sometimes.

But just say I'm forgiven.

Say I'm forgiven!

Say I'm forgiven-- - Okay, okay.

You're forgiven. - Say it.

(lips smooching)

Ingrid, hey.

- Uh hey, if you wanted to really like, make it up to me,

can you get me a drink from the vending machine?

- I've got water in my bag, cheap--

- Yes, that's good Brayden, but also I need some caffeine.

- Don't worry about it, I'll get you one.

- But I haven't even, you know

had the chance to say hello or chat to you about it.

- I don't mind.

You've got your hands full.

- Geez babe, what did you do to get in her good books, eh?

- Hi.

What happened last night?

- Sorry. - I thought you

were coming back.

- I just had some things to sort out.

- No problem.

It meant lot.

- Are you really sure you don't want to wag?

- Like you said, that would be letting Ruby win,

wouldn't it?

- Not if she's already bailed.

- She wants to pretend like nothing happened,

so that's what I'm gonna do.

- I mean, are you sure that's what you--

- I'm gonna go to class.

- Okay then.

- Ingrid.

- Present.

- Ruby.

Has anyone seen Ruby?

- No prizes for guessing why she's not here.

(knocking at door)

- [Man] Oh miss, I told you lay out the names.

- Hi, I just need to see a student of yours,

Heidi Jovanovic.

- Sure.

Heidi, could you step outside for a moment please?

♪ I can't have you, I can't have you ♪

- Thank you so much!

I do not know what I would do without my notes.

- Wing it?

- Yeah, with a room full of prospective clients, please.

- You know what you're talking about.

- Yeah, but then there is the lights and the whole crowd.

- You'll kill it.

- I will now.

- I'd love to watch you work.

- I'll let you know how it goes.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you!

- No comment.

- All I've asked is for you to confirm your name.

- Jack Kerouac

- You know why I'm here, don't you?

What were you doing last night?

- It's none of your business.

- Did you go and see Ruby McIntosh?

- Like I said before, no comment.

- [Teacher] Heidi.

- No, but that's my right.

- [Officer] Look, you're not under arrest.

I just want to know what happened.

- Then ask someone else.

- [Officer] She's in hospital now.

How do you feel about that?

- That you're a cop, not a therapist.

- [Teacher] Could you be a little more respectful, thanks.

- [Officer] It's okay, I get it all the time.

People who think they're clever.

They don't necessarily realize the seriousness

of the situation.

- What situation?

- [Teacher] You are doing yourself no favors.

(Heidi chuckles softly)

- Heidi!

Hey, wait!

What did they want?

- Nothing, don't worry about it.

- Where are you going?

- Somewhere where I won't be asked a million questions.

- Hey, just tell me

- There is nothing to tell.

- Yeah, obviously.

- When you have a record,

you're the first person they ask when anything happens.

I'm sick of it.

- You'll get in trouble if you just leave.

- I get in trouble no matter what I do.

- So that's it?

- If anyone asks, I was at your place all night.

- Hey, Ingrid.

- We should probably stay away from each other.

Don't you reckon?

- Definitely.

I just wanted to make sure you were okay with that.

- I just can't trust the two of you's at all, can I?

- What?

- Whispering?

Come on, spill the beans.

- What are you talking about?

- It's about Heidi, isn't it?

- Why?

- You know it.

- I don't know anything.

- What do you two think you're doing?

- It's our break.

- Not when there's a room full of books

that need organizing.

- She has no right to make us do this.

It's slave labor.

- It's called punishment for a reason.

- I guess it's not so bad.

I'm stuck here with you, so.

- It's probably best to just do what she says

and get on with it in silence.

- Sure.

Unbelievable that they make us study this rubbish,

brainwashing us with patriarchal nonsense.

- Can we please just get this over and done with?

- Have you been doing those by author?

- Isn't that the general idea?

- No, you're supposed to do them alphabetically.

- Whatever.

- How could you make such a stupid mistake?

- Good question.

Just leave it, maybe Veronica won't even notice.

- You're not meant to--

- Get off!

- Just give it to me!

- Oh, how'd I know you two would be in the closet?

- Did you want something?

- Yeah, could we have a couple of minutes?

- We have to finish this.

- Oh, that's so lame.

Pfft, all right.

Well, don't do anything I wouldn't do then.

- Like read?

- Yeah.

You know what?

This place is perfect for a sneaky little sesh.

- Hey.

- You were fantastic in there.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, trust me, you kicked ass.

- I didn't realize you were sticking around.

- Oh, I just couldn't resist watching you in action.

- So you lurked?

- Yeah, I lurked.

But you seemed really busy.

- Well, it is a networking event.

- Did you meet anyone interesting?

- Everyone wants to sell you something, like no,

I do not need a vinyl wrap for my car,

thank you very much.

- I don't know, I could definitely see you

as one of those 1-800 phone a lawyer people,

like break a leg, call Lydia.

- Yeah, I'm in commercial law, so.

- You know what I mean.

- Yep.

- Did you want to head back in?

- Yeah, I mean, it's what I'm here for.

Are you staying?

- Nah, it's cool.

I can get lost.

- Did I ask you to do that?

Just give me a couple of hours.

Let me do my thing.

- I'm still pretty exhausted.

- Oh, I do have something that can help with that.

Remember?

But it's okay, I get it if it's not your scene in there.

- Nah, bring it on.

- I was told to come and see you, Miss.

- Where's Heidi?

- I don't know.

- But she's not on school grounds anymore though, is she?

- Maybe she wasn't feeling well.

- What's going on, honestly?

- With what?

- Do you expect me to believe

that you don't know what happened with Ruby?

Someone gave her a concussion.

- And you think Heidi knows who?

- Well, the way that she reacted to the police officer

was pretty off.

- She's got a history.

- And she should know that the last thing

that you want to do is lie to the police.

That's an offense in itself.

- Right.

- [Teacher] Honestly, I expected more from you Saffron.

Don't let her drag you down.

- This is what you do, is it?

Work and school whenever you feel like it?

- Why do you care?

- I'm the one getting phone calls from your teachers.

- So don't answer!

- What's this about some kid getting attacked?

- It beats me.

- What have you got yourself mixed up in now?

- Nothing.

- Then why are the pigs involved?

- Don't worry about it.

- Well, the last thing I want is them turning up here!

- Problem solved.

- Oh, I'm so out of order, aren't I?

I look after you long after your mum bolts

and all I ask is for you not to give me any--

- I can't change what happened!

- Yeah, well me neither.

- What?

- Can you stay home for a bit?

- Why?

- So I can keep an eye on you.

- Oh why, are the pokies closed?

- Can you just do what I ask?

- No.

- Look, I've been back and forth on this for a while,

but you've given me no choice.

- About?

- Just come back so you can talk to your social worker.

- You're joking.

The girl really deserved it, okay?

If you just knew, I was trying to do the right thing.

- Yeah, well so am I.

Heidi!

Heidi!

- You're gonna feel a little bit revved up,

but that's normal.

It's what happens.

- Mm-hmm.

- You look so stressed.

Have you never done this before?

- Ah, all the time.

- Trust me, it'll be fine.

- I know

(knocking on door)

- You heard then.

- Yep.

- I think I'm still a bit concussed.

- Tell me what happened.

- Ask your psycho girlfriend.

- She tried to protect me.

- Hurt me, more like.

- Is that what you told the cops?

- I didn't, okay, my dad got involved

- You know, 'cos if anyone deserves to be locked up,

it's not her.

- She kicked me down.

She started sticking the boot in.

Okay, that's a assault.

It's a crime.

- And what about harassment?

- Look, I know you like me, okay?

- I made a drunken mistake!

And ever since then, you've done everything you could

to try and be with me.

I didn't want that.

How many times did I tell you?

- No, you're confused.

- No, you are.

I love Heidi!

That's never gonna change.

- Whatever.

- You know, I used to think that you were okay.

- [Ruby] I am.

- Then why are you still trying to break us up?

- Where are you?

- Hey, hey, what is it?

What's wrong?

- It's just, it just didn't feel right.

So I like...

- What?

- It's okay, I'm okay now I think.

- Do you want to talk about it?

- I don't wanna be a bother.

- You're not being a bother.

Come on.

Are you feeling any better?

- Yeah, I'm just still a little bit, you know, unsettled.

- I didn't think drugs were really your thing.

- It's not.

It just seemed like a good idea at the time.

- Why were you trying to impress some lawyer type anyway?

- I wasn't.

- It didn't seem like you two had anything in common.

- Yeah, well you're never 100% perfect for someone, are you?

- So why bother?

- I don't know really.

I guess I've just never been put in that position before.

- What, of being pressured?

- Yeah.

It doesn't feel good.

- No, it doesn't.

- I am sorry if I ever, you know, like....

- Don't worry about it.

- No, I mean it.

I didn't know what I had.

(soft music)

- How long have you been here?

- Not long.

- You okay?

- Never been better.

- I went to see Ruby. - Why?

- Why didn't you tell me what happened?

- I just wanted to know.

I wanted everyone to know what she'd done.

And then I went and I saw her.

I...

- It's okay.

- I didn't mean to...

- It's okay.

Hey.

Shh.

It's okay.

- What did you want me to do?

- I don't know, not kiss someone in front of me.

- You took me to a gay bar.

- To hang out.

- Sure, okay.

- I don't know.

I was just trying to do the whole mentor thing.

It didn't mean that I was over you.

- You could have just talked to me.

- You were kind of going through a lot at the time.

- I thought you were, you know, just over it.

- What if I hadn't?

- Well, then we could have handled things differently.

- I don't mean then.

- It feels like forever ago.

- Does it?

- Yeah, it really does.

- Maybe child services won't be as bad as you think.

- Maybe.

- They're not just gonna send you away.

- That's exactly what they'll do.

I'll end up in some random foster family who knows where.

- Stay here then.

- Right, because your mom is gonna really enjoy that.

- She can understand if I just explain it to her.

- It's not that easy.

- And the whole police thing is gonna go away though.

I'm sure of it.

- You don't get it, Saffron.

It's too late for all of that.

Wayne has been wanting to get rid of me for a while.

- I can't lose you.

- You won't.

- Just imagine being stuck under one roof in Juvie,

a hundred girls sharing, eating, sleeping together.

- Yeah.

- Pretty cool necklace, hey, pretty shmeek.

- Do you know what it means?

- Yeah, of course.

Yin, yang, that type of stuff, huh.

- And?

- And black white circles.

- It was Ingrid, wasn't it?

She picked it out.

- Yeah, but I paid for it.

- It's the thought that counts Brayden.

- Yeah, but I asked her opinion, and--

- So this whole time you have been lying to me.

- I was just trying to be romantic.

- Yeah.

Yeah, I should have known.

- Later, yeah?

- Where's your girlfriend?

- Detention, where's yours?

- Lydia is, we're more casual.

You know, she's not really the clingy type.

- What about the muso, though?

- Oh.

- Two chicks on the go though.

You should be rapt.

- Yeah.

- You know what your problem is?

- Go on then, this will be good.

- You're going out

and you're trying to have too many flings.

You need to go out and find the one.

- Oh, and I suppose you've done just that.

- Shut up.

You would love to get into Celeste's pants if you could.

- I think the relationships require a little bit more

than just physical attraction.

- Yeah, I know.

- Are you in love?

- No.

- Oh my God, congratulations.

When is the wedding?

- No, no, no.

Never, never happening.

- Oh, I'll be sure to tell her that.

- No, don't, do not tell her.

- Brayden, you're in love!

- Get off!

Alright, God, you're so annoying.

- Hey, I'm glad.

It shows that there really is someone

out there for everyone.

- You don't want to fix us up some snacks, do you?

- Hey, I was just wanting to try and clear the air.

- Okay, go for it.

- Right, well obviously something really weird

happened between us the other day.

And I think we're both mature enough to talk about it.

- I couldn't agree with you more.

- Great.

So firstly, Brayden can never find out about this.

- Agreed.

- And secondly, us, you and me, a nightmare.

Because you're all like this and I'm more chill.

And you are more confident and out and I'm more like--

- Did you pick this out?

- Brayden got you that.

- Yeah, but you chose it, didn't you?

- Yeah, so?

- So every time he has said something offensive

or immature or both, I could at least think gee,

underneath all that,

there is actually a sensitive person there.

- He is sensitive.

- But he doesn't get me.

He never did get me.

I get the feeling that every beautiful thing he's ever done

is because you told him to.

- That's between you guys.

- Admit it.

Ever since you and me first met,

there's been this thing between us

because you annoy the life out of me.

- The feeling is mutual.

We're very different people.

- Yin and yang, maybe.

- Stop.
