(melancholy music)

- There's a perfectly good seat over there.

- I know.

- The bus might not stop for you.

Has something happened?

- You were there yesterday.

- (scoffs) Don't let that bother you.

- How can I not?

Now I have to go and face everyone?

- You, you literally saw everyone's reactions.

They were on your side.

- Yeah, exactly.

So now everyone's going to be talking about it.

- [Celeste] So what?

- Oh my God, that's so easy for you to say.

You love being the center of attention.

- I just don't care what anyone else has to say.

Either should you.

You're gonna miss the bus.

Ingrid! - [Ingrid] Yeah.

That's the point.

- No, no, no, don't you dare do that.

- [Ingrid] Let me pass. - No.

What, so I just have to face everyone by myself?

- So, don't go either.

- [Celeste] And skip school forever?

- You can try.

My counselor says (sighs)

I should avoid stressful situations.

- Do they say you should avoid blaming yourself too?

Come on, we got this.

We can do it together. I got you.

- [Saffron's Mum] Saffie, how are you feeling?

- I'm okay. (birds chirping)

Seriously, I'm fine.

- So fine your friends had to call me to come and get you?

- (groans) They shouldn't have.

- I don't think they had much choice.

It was either me or an ambulance.

- It can't have been that bad.

- [Saffron's Mum] Heidi took you to some drug den,

you got up to who knows what.

- It was a normal party.

It's a pretty rubbish one actually.

- Yet you're passing out in the street?

- Maybe I forgot to take my pills.

- Maybe.

You scared me last night, Saffron.

- Mum.

- Do you see why I worry?

- You don't need to.

- I think you've proven I've got very good reason to.

Can't you see that Heidi is bad news?

- You don't even know her. - I know enough.

You never had problems like this before she turned up.

- Sorry.

- I'll make you some breakfast.

(birds chirping)

- [Harry] There he is.

The man, the myth, the legend.

- What do you want, man? - Oh, just to say congrats.

Heard you finally got rid of the Queen of Woke.

- Yeah, I'm uh, counting myself lucky.

- Really?

- I heard you're pretty devo.

(Brayden speaking indistinctly)

Yeah man, whatever happens to mine?

- Here it is.

- Nah, it sucks when your mates screw you over like that.

- Seriously though, man.

How you doing?

How's it feel losing out to Ingrid?

'Cause she was pretty terrible.

So you must have- - Gross.

- You know, when like you think someone's your mate

but they're total assholes?

Kinda like that.

- So are those two like, together now or...

- I, I don't care. All right?

- Aw. He does care.

- [Brayden] Just shut up. - Ooh. Why so argro?

- Just, just don't.

- Oh, go tell Ingrid.

She's the one you should take it out on.

- Whatever.

- I wouldn't let it stand.

- Why'd you have to be such a prick?

- I thought it was funny.

(students chattering) (bell rings)

- [Ingrid] What the hell? (bag thumps)

- [Pixie] Oh, someone does not like you.

- Yeah, thank you.

- [Pixie] Do you want a hand?

- No, it's fine. I've got it.

- [Pixie] Okay, stress head.

(Ingrid sighs)

(Ingrid scoffs)

- So you're seen that my locker's been trashed?

- Yeah, bummer.

- Did you see who did it?

- (tuts) Don't think so.

But then again, I don't notice half the things

that go on under my nose.

(students laughing)

- Do you want to talk? - To you?

- So what, you're just gonna keep messing with me

and trashing my stuff?

- [Brayden] Probably.

- Why?

- (sighs) Because I feel like it. It makes me happy.

- [Ingrid] Brayden, I- - No. Ingrid, stop.

You're a dog. I finally get why no one likes you.

- [Ingrid] (sighs) What?

- [Celeste] What happened?

- Nothing.

- Three guesses who's responsible?

- I don't know, like Year 8s pulling a prank or something?

- Year 8s. Really? (lockers clanging)

- Celeste, it's okay. Just don't worry about it.

- Pretty far from okay, if you ask me.

(papers rustling)

- You know, technically this is assault.

- Oh yeah? And what do you call what you did to Ingrid?

- Uh, payback? - Pretty mature.

- Oh, wow. Thank you.

I feel so enlightened.

- This is not like the Brayden that I knew.

- [Brayden] Well I guess we didn't know each other

as well as we thought we did.

- He was sweet, and he was sensitive,

and he said and he did some really dumb stuff,

but he never, ever set out to hurt somebody!

We could have been something.

- We were something! - [Celeste] So what happened?

- You tell me! - No to you, Brayden, to you!

- How are you seriously gonna turn this round on me?

How manipulative can you be?

- I'm not!

- Are you serious? You're a control freak!

The second that someone does something that you don't like,

you get all up in arms about it.

- You know what, you're entitled

to your own opinion right now.

- Oh, thank you. I'm so happy that I'm entitled

to my own opinion.

- If you're gonna behave like a baby,

I'm not having this- - Give me the necklace.

Go on, give it back.

- [Celeste] It was a gift.

- I don't care, that was then. Give it back.

- (scoffs) Okay.

You can go and buy all the video games that you want.

- Well, yeah, maybe I will. - You are so pathetic.

(door thumps)

(melancholy music)

(Ingrid sobbing)

(melancholy music continues)

(Ingrid continues sobbing)

- Mum's just gone to get my prescription.

You only just missed her actually.

- Yeah, (laughs) I know.

I did, in fact, hide behind a bush

until she was gone. (chuckles)

- She was probably super upset last night, right?

- Saff, you passed out.

- [Saffron] So?

- I was worried.

- It's called anemia. Look it up.

- You don't have to like try and impress me or anything.

- I don't need to impress you.

I was sick of being pushed around by everyone.

- I don't push you around.

- You probably shouldn't be here when Mum gets back.

- Yeah, no kidding.

What, is she gonna ground you forever?

Again. (chuckles)

Is this the last time we're gonna see each other?

- Possibly.

(Heidi sighs)

- I hate to say it, (clears throat)

but maybe Celeste was right?

- About?

- (sighs) That I don't wanna be the bad guy.

- I didn't say you were.

- No, (scoffs)

but you do act like a goodie two shoes in front of her and,

well, everyone.

Um, and then you go out on this night out

and act like a completely different person.

They all look at me and blame me for that.

- Okay, but what you're suggesting

is just gonna make everything a million times worse.

- And what's it matter?

Can't see each other anyway.

(students chattering)

- (scoffs) What's this?

- All of your crap taking up space in my house.

(Zoe laughs)

If you don't want it, I can sell it if you like,

but I, um, don't know who would buy those shoes.

- You picked them out for me. - Tastes change.

- Hmm. At least you're finally getting the message.

- Yeah. You're a cow.

- I can't believe I used to be your mate.

- Believe what you want, I don't care.

- So, who are you gonna hang out with now?

- I don't know.

- I mean, you could give Ed a call.

(gasps sarcastically) Oh, wait.

He dropped out of school to avoid you.

- That's not true. - Hmm. (gasps)

You've got no one. You're nothing.

You did not just do that.

- Round two, anytime. Bitch.

(Zoe scoffs)

- Dude, sick job on Ingrid's locker.

She must have been pissed. - Big time.

- How did her tears taste? Were they delicious?

- Get lost.

- Serves her right, I suppose.

- Excuse me?

- What next, you gonna bash her?

- I'd pay to see that. - What? No.

- You sure?

- What do you even care?

- Just used to think you're all right, I suppose.

- Well thanks for the guilt trip. Church is that way.

- Yeah, whatever.

- Ignore her, man. You did the right thing.

- Did I?

- She deserves so much worse for everything she's done.

- You're never gonna let that go, are you?

- Why should I?

- (inhales sharply) 'Cause.

(students chattering)

- Fancy seeing you here.

- Yeah. It's a really weird coincidence.

- You've just been to see her, haven't you?

- And what's it matter?

- I'd rather you didn't.

- (inhales) Why?

- I think you know the answer to that.

- Nope, I really don't.

- Saffron doesn't need any distractions right now.

- Distractions. That's what you're gonna go with. (scoffs)

Well, she's got plenty of those.

Horse riding, youth group.

- I think I know what my daughter's up to,

thank you very much.

- Last night was a mistake.

- Yeah, you're telling me.

Saffron won't be going to any parties again.

- Of course she's gonna go to parties again.

- If you really cared about her,

you would've left her to her own devices.

- If I had done that, she would've been way worse off.

Who do you think was looking after the whole night?

Making sure she didn't choke on her own vomit.

- Do you expect me to thank you?

- Why do you think she was so desperate to cut loose?

It's you.

And the insane amount of pressure that you put on her.

(scoffs) It's not right.

(dog barking) (birds chirping)

(gentle music)

- You weren't in class.

- Nope.

- I waited for you.

- (sighs) Well, you shouldn't have.

- Yes, I should. (chuckles)

Hey.

He's really got to you, hasn't he?

- (sighs) Yeah well, it's just like how I said it would be.

- Do you think maybe there's a bit of manifesting going on?

- Are you saying I'm wishing for this?

- No, I'm just saying that the things you might fear happen

happen because you fear them.

- Yeah, right.

Well, I don't need a psych lecture, especially not from you.

- Who's lecturing?

This has affected me too.

- You haven't lost anything.

- I lost my necklace actually.

- The yin-yang one?

- Can you believe him?

Good luck trying to find a refund, buddy.

- I'm not surprised. He did save up for it.

- I don't care. I'll get another one.

- Really, why?

- I like the design, what it meant.

- But doesn't it just remind you of him?

- It actually reminds me of you.

It was the whole problem, wasn't it?

- I should go.

- Well, I'll come with you.

- No, you should probably stay.

- [Celeste] No, I don't care. - You're gonna get in trouble.

- Rules are meant to be broken, Ingrid.

- Look, I'll just talk to you after, okay?

- I'll meet you at the park? Like at 4:00?

- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

(gentle music builds)

- Kinda sad, isn't it? Sitting in here by yourself?

- Yeah, you would know.

- Mm, actually I wouldn't.

- Year 9 I think it was?

About a month, am I right?

- (scoffs) That was different. I didn't hurt anybody.

- You threw up over yourself

in the coach back from Phillip Island.

Stunk the whole bus out.

- No, it didn't. - Everyone remembers.

- Well, I guess that's what happens when you do things.

- I've tried to apologize, okay?

- And yet you still don't mean it.

- [Ruby] That's not true.

- You just don't like how everyone treats you now.

(Ruby scoffs)

(bag thumps)

Did you always have a thing for Saffron?

- That's none of your business.

- (laughs) Come on. You used to tell me everything.

Way too much about Ed.

- (scoffs) Well, that was then, so...

- Yeah you're pretty um, different, now.

That's for sure.

- The thing about being someone's friend, Zoe,

is that you're supposed to stick by them.

- (scoffs) Even when they did what you did?

- [Ruby] Yeah.

- Why would I wanna be friends with someone like that?

- I don't think we ever were.

(students chattering)

- [Mila] You're supposed to be resting.

(bag thumps)

- I don't wanna fall behind.

- Are you?

- Not really.

- I should hope not.

- You don't have to worry,

I know how important my exams are.

- Did anything happen whilst I was out?

- Mm, not really.

Yeah. I had a, I had a visitor.

- Were you gonna tell me if I didn't ask?

- I never know what your reaction will be.

- [Mila] I think you do.

- (inhales) Okay, yes.

I didn't want you to start yelling. Again.

- I wouldn't if you didn't keep deceiving me.

- Total honesty, is that what you want?

- I don't think it's that big of an ask.

- Okay. What do you wanna know?

Uh, yes, I'm gay. I love Heidi.

No, I'm not a virgin. And Tabby's gay too so...

- Thanks for sharing. - [Saffron] You asked.

- Yeah, I don't think I needed to hear quite all that.

- Exactly. So can you let me choose what I wanna share?

- After last night, you just...

Want me to trust you?

- You used to.

I'm not a bad judge of character.

Even with Heidi. She, she really cares, you know?

- You think so?

(gentle music)

- I can't really talk right now.

- Oh, okay. Sorry.

Are, are we still meeting?

- I'm not gonna make it.

- Can, can I see you later?

- Maybe?

- So, where are you?

- (sighs) I just need a little bit of time

to myself right now.

- Okay.

Like, a day off type of thing? Like, for your wellness?

Because like, I totally get that. That's...

It's very important.

- Yeah. I think I'm gonna need longer than that.

- Is this about what happened today?

Because I, I gave him a serve.

Like I told him to leave you alone.

He won't bother you again.

- (sighs) I really hate what I did.

- Ingrid, come on. Don't do this.

- I can't help it. I, I hate who I am.

- It's not your fault.

- Yeah, it is.

I, I would hate whoever did this to me.

- He'll get over it.

- Why does he have to come up in every single conversation?

- Sorry.

- Um, I think I'm gonna need a break from all of this.

- So when can I see you again?

(gentle music)

- Watch this one.

Three! Oh, rim's too small.

That sucks. (grunts)

Hey whatchu thinking about, Celeste? Huh?

- No.

- Oh, and Ingrid? Getting it on?

That must make your blood boil.

- You ever had a mate do something like that to you?

- Oh, like 10 times. - [Brayden] Who?

- Oh, Fairkey, Damer.

But listen, they're not my mates anymore.

- Ingrid was my mate though, so...

- She's selfish. People like that don't give a toss.

- You're stewing over this way too much.

- He brought it up.

- We're young, yeah. Not married.

People are free to do whoever they want.

The best thing to do is just move on.

- Hard for him with a face like that.

- I pull more girls than you.

- Oh, Celeste doesn't count. She's blind.

- Look. You fall off your board, you get back on again.

You know what I'm saying?

- I think I'm done riding.

- Yeah, I heard you were never much good anyways.

- Oh.

- What does that mean?

- It means you got a little dick.

(phone buzzing)

- Hey, what's up?

- They took Heidi.

- What? - They just took her away.

- Sorry, what are you talking about?

- Social services. They just came to my house.

- Are you joking?

- No! Oh my god.

Saff, it was awful. She didn't wanna go.

- When did, when did this happen?

- Like just now.

- What, why, why would they do that?

- I don't know. I don't know.

Apparently someone called them. I, I...

- What, your dad? - No. No way.

He was just as shocked as I was when I told him.

- Then...

I've gotta call her. Sorry.

- [Celeste] Thanks for letting me in.

- You couldn't just text me, you know, like a normal person?

- [Celeste] So I wanted to talk to you in person.

- Well, I'm finishing my game, so...

(video game chiming)

- [Celeste] Have you gotten any better?

'Cause I kinda miss thrashing you.

- Does this have a point?

- Um.

Well I wanted to talk to you about,

you know, everything that's happened

and I realized that I didn't properly apologize to you.

So. (poignant music)

I wanted to say that I was sorry.

(video game guns firing)

- Cool.

- Can we actually have a conversation please?

- What's the point?

- So we can fix this?

- I didn't think that's what you wanted.

(video game chimes)

- I don't want you to lose a friend over this.

- Ingrid made her choice.

- Yeah, well, she's making another one.

She's leaving.

- To go where?

- To go stay with some auntie up the coast.

- Good.

She's, you know, always liked the ocean.

- She's leaving because of what you did to her today.

- So you're here to chew me out?

You couldn't give a toss about me.

You just want me to go and tell Ingrid

that everything's gonna be okay.

- Nothing I ever said to you went in, did it?

- Geez, there was so much of it. Could you be more specific?

- About how you should be a kind

and respectful person to other people.

- You really are trying

to win hypocrite of the year award, aren't you?

- I mean, if you ever cared about Ingrid,

you'd go and talk to her.

- Well, yeah. She'll be waiting a while.

(video game chimes) (video game guns firing)

- How can you say that?

You know what she's going through. She's got depression.

- Just shut the door on your way out.

- Well I hope you can live with yourself.

(poignant music builds)

- Hey, um.

I don't know if you've been seeing my messages

but I'm just starting to get really worried. (gasping)

Astrid told me what happened, obviously. Um

Can you please give me a call back, okay?

(sniffling) I love you.

(Saffron sighs) (phone buzzing)

Hey, you all right?

- [Heidi] I've never been better.

- I'm sorry, okay? Must, must have been Mum.

- [Heidi] What did you tell her?

- I didn't know that she was gonna react like this, okay?

- [Heidi] You promised me.

- She's, she's been really understanding lately.

Look, where are you?

- [Heidi] They're putting me into emergency care!

- Yeah, but where? I'ma come see you.

- [Heidi] I, I will never forgive you for this, Saffron.

I will never forgive you. (phone clicks)

(Saffron sniffling)

- [Celeste] Beautiful day.

- Not in my house.

- Your parents still giving you grief?

- Just Dad.

Mum's being really supportive.

Going to Aunt Helen's house was her idea.

- So what's his problem?

- Doesn't want me take any time off school,

thinks study is more important

than mental health apparently.

- Wait, so...

How, how long are you going for?

A week? A month?

- I don't know. As long as it takes?

- Okay.

- I'm really sorry.

I should have explained it better yesterday.

- Can't you just like wait for things to settle down?

- Look, when I took the pills,

I didn't wanna come back, like, at all.

And Mum agreed.

She thought a fresh start would be really good for me,

like away from bad influences.

- Is that what I am?

- No, if anything you're the reason I stayed

as long as I did.

- I guess that's something.

- You and Brayden.

- I mean, if this is something that you need to do,

then yeah, go and do it.

Put yourself first.

- It's kind of what I've been trying to do this whole time

and it hasn't really worked out for me.

- We can still see each other, though.

Unless you don't want to?

- (sighs) Is it supposed to be this hard?

- Nothing's ever perfect, but you can't give up on us.

- You see, this is what I'm talking about.

You're always trying to push me out of my comfort zone.

- [Celeste] Isn't that a good thing?

- Except I kind of want comfort right now.

Like a comfort zone sounds really good to me.

- Are you still taking all your medications?

- Yes, Celeste.

I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand.

- 'Cause I know what we've got, Ingrid.

- Yeah, and until I figure out what's going on with me,

I really can't.

I can't do this.

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pressure you.

- [Ingrid] Yes, yes, you did. (melancholy music)

- But we can still talk on the phone, though.

- (sighs) Look, I've got to head off.

Mum wants to get on the road before lunch.

- Ingrid, Ingrid, wait. - I've really got to go.

- Stop!

(melancholy music continues) (birds chirping)

This isn't the end, okay? It's not.

- Thank you for everything.

(gentle piano music)

(piano music intensifies)

Are you lost? - No.

- You know my parents are home.

- Obviously.

- You haven't said anything to them, have you?

- Yeah, I mean I've been filling them in

about all your little shenanigans.

- You're being serious?

- I could.

(melancholy music)

- Is that what you came here to do, threaten me?

(melancholy music continues)

- You're really going, aren't ya?

'Cause of me?

(melancholy music intensifies)

- No.

- Good.

- Brayden, you know, I never meant for

all of it to happen like this.

And... (poignant music)

- Just

get better, okay?

(poignant music)
