(lips smooching)

(Heidi laughing)

- I thought you'd be mad with me.

- Depends, what did you do?

- Because of mum.

- (chuckles) Ah, no, that's fine.

- Really?

- Mm, I mean, Astrid's dad's a really good cook,

and so much chiller than Mila.

- Well, that worked out great for you.

- Oh, there's actually, there was one thing though.

Yeah, it was weird, I think they were trying

to indoctrinate me into a religious cult (chuckles).

- Ha-ha.

- Oh wait, that was you and your family.

- Hey.

- (chuckles) Hey yourself.

I don't think I could have made it through

another youth group.

- You can actually stop complaining now.

- Mmm really, 'cause so much is coming to mind.

- Seriously, it's all fine?

- Yeah, it's fine.

I mean, it's kind of nice, she really cares about you.

- Yeah, tiny bit too much.

- Well, take it from me, you don't wanna rock the boat.

- Pretty much mastered that one.

- [Heidi] Well, why are you stressing then?

Oh, is she being weird about-

- walking in on? yeah.

- (chuckles) Well, I'm sure she just needs

to get her head around it.

- She's had years to get her head around it.

- Well, wait, I thought you said

you never really had the chat with her.

- Gee, I wonder why?

- Oh, I don't know,

Mila seems really understanding, so open.

- I'm sensing sarcasm.

- Oh really?

(both laughing)

(upbeat music)

- We so don't have time for this.

- So what, we missed assembly, big whoop.

- Oh my God, Dani is going to kill you.

- You reckon?

- Yeah, she's not gonna be in Byron forever.

- I don't know, she's all over that Jaz,

like a dog in heat.

- Ugh.

- Sorry.

- So what was wrong with your room?

- Right next to dad and Julie's, are you kidding?

Having to listen to those two go at it all night.

- What about headphones?

- No amount of noise canceling is enough.

Plus you know, I don't want them to hear me either.

- [Ingrid] Yeah, doing what?

- You know, stuff, girls, plural.

- Over Celeste already?

- Reckon so, yeah.

- Mm, well, that's good, with who?

- Oh, I don't know, been messaging a few babes and whatnot.

- Why don't I know about this?

- Well, hardly seen you.

Look at the rack on that.

- Yes, I've seen boobs - - Seriously, look at her rack-

- before, thank you.

- No, but seriously...

- Ew, she's in my biology class.

- She's in mine now.

- Oh, that's disgusting.

- Let's be honest, me and miss social justice,

we were never gonna work, were we?

- Teachers know you're doing that?

- Yeah, we're allowed, it's part of the club.

- Oh, cool.

- [Celeste] I mean, are you kidding?

Like, I would go broke if I had to pay 20 cents

for each piece of paper.

- Well, I was just dropping this off.

- What are you doing at lunch?

- Revising, probably, French.

- Ooh, Mais tu es si bon en français!

- Pardon (chuckles).

- Oh, you're so good already.

- Not that good, evidently.

- (chuckles) Please come.

- I was probably gonna hang with Heidi.

- That's fine, I mean, you can bring her too if you want.

- Probably not her scene.

- I mean, she'd do it for you though, wouldn't she?

- I don't know about that (chuckles).

- It's important, Saf.

- What do you need a president for anyway?

Aren't you just gonna do that for the LGBT club?

- LGBTQIA plus club.

- Sorry.

- It's okay, we're all still learning.

Uh, anyway, it's like literally

just to make it more official,

so I can do all the admin and stuff the school wants.

- Sounds really good.

You, good luck with that.

- Well, actually I was thinking,

if you really wanted to be an ally,

you could hand these ones out.

- Sure.

(ball thudding on lockers)

- Head's up Vickers.

- Whoa, whoa, watch it.

- Thought you said you almost made the state team.

- Thought you said you were good with balls.

- Oh, I make cheap jokes when I'm tired.

- Same.

- Plus, I had a few too.

- Figured, you know, just 'cause you never texted me before.

- Right yeah, boredom, what can you do?

- Do you game?

- Oh yeah, every night, pew, pew, pew.

- (chuckles) All right, so never?

- No, my rig sucks.

- Too bad (chuckles).

- What do you have now?

- What day is it?

- Wow, you really have had too many?

- Yeah.

- Well, you know, if you ever-

- What?

- Need, I could hook you up.

- (chuckles) Yeah, I don't need any of that catnip junk

you sell the year eights mate, catch ya.

- Laters.

- Oh sorry, I was looking for somewhere quiet.

- (chuckles) I mean, I was gonna say you're a bit early

- For?

- For the LGBTQIA plus club, the big vote.

- Right, yep.

- Did you read the newsletter?

- Um no, I've been having issues with my email.

- Hmm, a lot of people have said that actually.

Anyway while you're here,

could you stick these ones around for me, please?

- Are we allowed?

- Of course, we're now an official school club.

We even have space like on the notice board and everything.

- Sounds like you've got it all figured out.

- Yeah, well, the vote's today at lunch.

- [Ingrid] Cool.

- [Celeste] It's no pressure.

- [Ingrid] Do you have many takers?

- I hope so, I mean we have to elect a president, so.

- Right, but can't that just be you?

- I mean, I'm running obviously,

but I have to be elected because democracy is important.

- Who else even is there?

- Oliver Charlton, he's in year 11.

- He is gay?

- You can ask him that yourself.

- Right, well, I don't suppose

your club co-founder is gonna show up.

- Well, I mean, he barely wanted

to be a part of it from the start,

so I don't think he's gonna be a part of it now.

- Probably for the best.

- How is he, you know, like coping?

- He's good.

(somber music)

- What's up, weirdos?

Didn't miss the vote, did I?

(somber music continues)

(faint student chatter)

No way, did you make this?

- I did.

- Hmm, it's colorful, you know.

Rainbows are in at the moment, I guess.

- Why are you here?

- To a vote, it's the presidential thing, isn't it?

- You know it is.

- Thanks to your email newsletter.

I told you that was a good idea.

- (sighs) This isn't a joke,

people actually rely on this club.

- Hey, I'm here for Ingers.

- [Ingrid] Don't call me that.

- This isn't gonna work.

- Get a load of your ego, all right?

The whole world doesn't revolve around you.

- I never said it did.

- All right, then listen to what I'm saying,

all that ally stuff that you used to yammer on about,

it's finally sunk in.

- I really hope you're telling the truth.

- Swear on Bogger's grave, just say the word and I'll do it.

(faint student chatter)

(Pixie chuckles)

- Are we in the right place?

- Apparently.

- [Celeste] Shall we wait for more people?

Like anyone seen Oliver or Sebastian?

- Probably behind the bike sheds.

- Gross.

- Sorry, couldn't get Heidi to come.

- I'll show you a thing or two if you want.

- Oh, can we get this over with?

- Yes right, welcome to the LGBTQIA Club.

I would like everyone here

to feel super safe in this environment,

that they're welcome to be themselves

and that they can sort of talk freely.

- Sorry, I'm with Ingrid, let's vote.

- Yeah, we've already got your email.

- [Ingrid] Emails.

- I thought they were pretty insightful.

- Cool, all right, well, we need to elect a president.

Excuse me. - Why do we need one?

- So the school has someone to blame

if we trash the classroom.

- It's also to help with organizing school events.

- Right, so you just want us

to write your name on this then?

- You know what Pixie?

You can vote for whoever you want.

- So who else is running?

- What a joke.

- I nominate Pixie.

- I nominate you.

- Yeah, I second that.

- [Saffron] Thirded. - What?

- [Pixie] Is that a thing?

- You gotta do a speech, mate.

- I haven't done my speech.

- [Students] Speech, speech, speech, speech, speech!

Speech, speech, speech, speech, speech!

Speech, speech, speech, speech, speech!

(girls laughing)

- If I'm elected president,

I will get more flavors of free chips.

Um, no, not just, not just plain, you know,

I'll get original.

No, no, that's plain.

Salt and vinegar, chicken, light and tangy.

So it's like, you know, a diverse thing, it's colorful.

And it'll be on the school's dime too-

- Okay, thank you. - I'm not done yet.

I'll get us free movie tickets to LGBT movies.

I'll get us in a room with working Air Con,

and I'll push for free dress

'cause we deserve to be able to express ourselves.

- Had me at chips.

- You know, none of that's actually possible.

- Not if you're president.

- Brayden doesn't know the first thing about this club.

What does the I stand for?

- Huh?

- In LGBTQIA, what does the I stand for?

- Intersex?

- You did not know that.

- Hey, if anyone's into sex, it's me.

- Oh my God. - Oh God (chuckles).

- Can you take this seriously, please?

- I am, okay.

I don't care who you are or where you come from,

you could be a Q and A, you know,

and equestrian like Saffron, I don't care.

- That's people who are into horses.

- [Brayden] Oh look, I'm not judging her.

- Riding horses.

(somber music)

- All right, so the first vote is for Celeste,

and one more for Celeste.

- Good job, babe.

- I'd correct, you're on your misogynistic language,

but what's the point?

- Next vote is for Peter Dutton.

- Yeah, he's in year 12, I think.

- What (chuckles)?

- All right, and we have one going towards Brayden.

- I had to, sorry.

- I thought you were kidding.

(somber music)

- And another one for Brayden.

- Wait, did you both actually vote for me?

- Yes, I didn't want you to feel bad.

- Oh crap.

- All right, so that's two each.

And the last vote is also going to Brayden.

- What?

- I didn't know they were gonna vote for me.

- (laughs) I love it, congratulations.

- No, no, no, recount, recount.

- What do you mean?

There's like five votes.

- Yeah but you suck at math!

- I'm not that bad.

- Hey, I'm so sorry.

- You're all happy with this?

- Democracy's a biatch.

- (chuckles) Well, what you were saying before that,

that was just an act, right?

You're not, you're not really that ignorant?

- I'm president of the LGBT Club.

- Right, well, do you wanna take your photo now or later?

(gentle music)

- Why does this always happen to me?

- [Saffron] Losing?

- Being made a mockery of.

- No one was trying to do that.

- Pixie was.

- That was pretty funny actually.

- And so were you.

- That was not my intention, it wasn't!

- Okay, it's fine.

- Look, no one is gonna wanna come

if you make it this big stressful thing.

- Yeah, 'cause they were gonna go now anyway.

- They might.

- Heidi didn't even bother to show up.

- She's a rebel, it goes with the territory.

- What is she even rebelling against?

- Good question.

Look, worst case scenario, you can just start another club.

- Mm-hmm, yeah idiot, try-hard anonymous.

- Hey, I'll join.

Can't promise I'll run for president, though.

- Ooh, all right.

(faint student chatter)

- Think quick, Vickers.

- You really like scaring the life out of me, don't ya?

- It's a hobby.

- Tried skating?

- I do.

- No, I've never seen you.

- Yeah, 'cause you hang around

the derro side of the town.

- Right, anyway, good chat.

- What are you...

(chuckles) Oh, is that for real?

- [Brayden] Unfortunately.

- Oh, wow, this sash, it just,

it really brings out your eyes.

- It's not funny, don't.

- Yeah, agree to disagree mate.

- Do you reckon anyone would miss it?

- Only your little club minions.

- Well, you know, me sister's gay,

and she went through a hard time.

- Okay.

- And I'm doing this for my mate who's gone through a bit,

and she couldn't be president, so-

- You don't have to explain.

There was me thinking you weren't getting the hint earlier.

- Thought about hanging out?

- Yeah, it's all good.

- No, I'm, I'm free.

- You sure?

- Yeah, I've just got some report thing to do and-

- Mm-hmm.

- And you can show me your sick moves.

- 100% sure I'm a better skater than you.

- Can you even grind?

- (chuckles) Yeah, I can.

- You know, I wasn't that keen on it before,

but I think I'm actually gonna go and get the free chips.

- Brayden will be a disaster.

- Exactly.

- No, I feel bad, Celeste put so much effort in.

- Oh come on, she's such a stuck up-

- Mum, what are you doing here?

- I thought I'd take you out for a treat, just you and me.

- Cool, I gotta study anyway, Bible study.

- Is she serious about that?

- Maybe.

- Get in the car.

- Where are we going?

- You'll see.

- (slurping) Sorry.

- I taught you better than that.

- Don't you hate when it gets all icy at the bottom?

- You just tried to drink it too fast, patience.

- Right.

- Hey, I'm sorry I'm late, rehearsal ran on.

- Hi.

- Hi, it's nice to meet you at last.

- [Mum] Leigh's in the Amateur Dramatic Society.

- Cool, yeah, I've always wanted to join.

- Maybe this is your chance.

Tell Saffron about your play.

- We're doing a performance of a "Midsummer Night's Dream."

- Yeah, I read it in English, like everyone.

- Uh, go you think it's something

you might be interested in reading again, or?

- I mean, I could.

- I've arranged an audition for you.

- Shut up, really?

(gentle music)

- You've gotta admit, it was pretty amusing.

- Yeah, wrecking the club, hilarious.

- He wouldn't do that.

- Maybe not on purpose, maybe.

- He did stay back to make a calendar of events,

that's gotta mean something, right?

- Yeah, cinema, great.

Good luck trying to find a queer action movie, mate.

- I think you're selling him short.

- He's never seen a queer film in his life.

- Really, because I've seen his browser history.

- Lesbian porn doesn't count.

- Celeste, I don't think he'd be trying so hard

if you didn't cut him off.

- You think we should still be friends?

- We still are.

- That's different.

- And I know what it's like

to lose someone you really care about.

- I mean, I guess it wouldn't hurt

if like we still texted.

- Yeah, and it would probably be a good way

to convince him to step down.

(suspenseful music)

What are you looking for?

- I was gonna send him a text and say, "Hey,"

but like I can't find my phone.

- Do you think you dropped it?

- Maybe I left it in the classroom.

Do you think he's still at school doing club stuff?

- Yeah, I think so.

- [Celeste] Okay.

- Do you want me to text him?

- No, he knows my PIN.

- What, do you want me to come?

- It's okay.

(somber music)

- What's that?

- Just some ideas, you know, for the club.

- You are taking this seriously?

- You sound surprised (chuckles)?

- Yeah, isn't everything one big joke to you?

- Yeah, seemed that way recently.

- Well, it's fine if you're genuine.

- I was.

- You haven't seen my phone, have you?

- No.

- Would you mind giving it a ring?

- I'll take it I'm not blocked, then.

- I would never do that.

- [Brayden] Never know what some people are gonna do.

(phone vibrating)

- You are a legend, thank you.

- Hey, can I ask you something?

- If you want.

- Do you reckon people will like foreign movies?

- Yes, we can read.

I mean, most of us can.

- Blue Hair Chick film it is then.

(somber music)

- Well, don't stay too late.

- I can't, I'm, I'm almost done.

I'm meeting someone.

- Cool.

And I, I know I didn't say it before,

but congratulations, really.

- (chuckles) Just don't make me wear that sash again.

- I can't promise that.

(somber music)

- Skank.

- Yeah, and I get really bad stage fright.

Like just feel my whole body freeze up

even though I still feel my heart beating really fast.

- Oh, I'm exactly the same, like honestly.

But what I do is I go backstage,

and I just look into a mirror

and I just say, "I like myself, I like myself,

"I like myself," just over and over and over.

- Really?

- I know it sounds bizarre, but like it does help, you know,

helps with your self-esteem, you know,

whether you mean it or not.

- I do like myself (chuckles).

- You've got no reason not to.

- Sounds kind of big headed though, doesn't it?

- Yeah, yeah, it can be hard to say with a straight face,

but you know, I mean, that's kind of the point.

Same again?

No, no, no, no, it's on me.

- So what do you think?

- Yeah, it's exciting.

I mean I know the role's not mine yet, but it'll be fun.

- I mean about Leigh.

- Yeah, he's nice enough.

- He is, did I tell you he's Judy's son?

- From Pilates?

- She thought you'd get along.

- Get along?

- As friends.

- Okay.

- Could probably do with some new ones.

- Yeah, the more the merrier.

- I know the boys at school aren't that mature,

but Leigh's a year older,

and at your age it makes all the difference.

- Yeah, I mean he's pretty cute.

- Do you think so?

- Yeah, why don't you give him my number?

- Good idea. - Mum!

- Calm down.

- What am I doing here?

- I'm trying to give you an opportunity.

- [Saffron] Yeah, sure you are.

- Where are you going?

- [Saffron] Literally anywhere but here.

(car engine growling)

- You weren't kidding, Tony Hawk better watch out.

- Oh, damn it.

I normally land those.

- Yeah, I'm sure you do, mate.

- Just not, you know, normally this stoned.

- Better gimme the rest of your baggy then.

- Nice try.

- So you're just a wuss.

- I don't see you doing any tricks.

- Would you even notice if I did like, a 720?

- If you did a 720, I would eat my skateboard.

- You normally like this?

- Yeah.

- Maybe that's why what's her face ditched you.

- What?

- Just saying.

- Just don't.

(gentle music)

- Mm, maybe he was trying to make you jealous.

- Maybe.

- Or do you think he was being genuine?

- I don't know, like it was the way he told me.

Like he wanted me to know.

But then like if he was trying to make me jealous,

don't you think he would've exaggerated a bit more?

- Yeah, I don't know, he does do that.

- And you said he was on the dating apps, right?

- Yeah, he put down that he was 21.

- [Celeste] Yikes.

- And I had to talk him down from adding a digital mustache.

- Maybe his date is legit then.

So does that make you feel any different?

- About what?

- About everything.

(somber music)

- I don't know.

- [Celeste] It should.

- Why?

- Because if you're going on dates with someone else,

I don't see how you can be upset

with your ex for doing the same thing.

- You see, that's very logical, but Brayden is not.

- [Celeste] True.

(somber music)

- And when he finds out that it's me-

- We don't have to tell him,

he doesn't have to know anything we do,

you know, in private.

- In private?

- Mm-hmm.

Like would you be upset if I?

(somber music)

I take that as a no.

Come on, don't leave a girl hanging.

(birds chirping)

- Watch me skull this.

- Yeah, and have you puke like five seconds later?

I don't think so.

- Hey, I can handle my booze.

- Dude, I saw you spew on Zoe Hughes.

- Which time?

- Exactly.

- Hey!

- Give it back.

- I don't think so.

- It's not yours.

- So?

- So you like nicking stuff?

- Didn't you lift this from your parents?

- So, what's theirs is mine.

- Yeah, I don't think they'd see it that way.

- I'll just fill it back up with water.

- Oh, genius.

- It's worked before.

- Yeah, but you need the bottle to do that, don't you?

- I intend to get it.

- Yeah, just can't let you through, can I?

- Oh, why's that?

- Because you'd drink yourself into oblivion,

and I don't wanna ruin this shirt.

- Guess I'll just have to drink it by myself then.

- I've got a better idea.

Why don't I escort it back to your place,

and then you can show me that new room you've got?

(uptempo cheery music)
