This programme contains some strong language

Hey, yo. Be careful, it's my laptop.

You lot need to stop coming in here like you live here.

Hey, hey, hey, look who it is.

Ah-ha! Yo, yo, yo. Jaheim!

Leah, you look like garbage, bro.

Wow.

Did he just say, "Garbage"? He did.

Brother, you've been stateside five minutes,

you're talking about garbage? You're from South London.

LAUGHTER

Look who it is - Mr Irish exit to a whole 'nother country.

Uh, you man are moving like I'm gone forever.

Yeah, well, St Gilberts is not going to be the same without you.

Yeah, we miss you, bro.

How you man so soft.

Expressing my emotions aren't a sign of weakness.

Tell him, Omar.

Hey, hey, what's the weather like?

The weather. Brother, what's the girlies like?

Hey, why are you saying that when you ain't wifed up?

Can I be best man? Yeah.

Mind your business.

The weather's nice, the girls are nice, everything's nice, innit?

Even though I hate you for bailing on us,

it's nice to know that things are nice, J.

Don't worry about us, man. Do your ting.

Wifey. We love you.

Yeah, love you too. Get me.

Miss you! Write soon. Bye.

And five become four.

What separates St Gilberts

from all other schools

is not just our ambition and drive,

but our legacy.

But good grades alone will not secure you these positions.

Every sixth-form student will be assigned a mentor,

each one a St Gilberts alumni.

They, the leaders of...

BOTH: ..today...

..have taken time out

of their busy schedules to speak with us,

the leaders of tomorrow.

BOTH: ..tomorrow.

You have been matched individually, based on your skills and interests.

Vision boards!

Please take one and pass it on.

We want you to take these sheets back to your dorms,

and fill them with bright ideas of what your future could hold.

Like we haven't got enough work to be getting on with.

In other news,

us hockey girls have our first match with Severstone this afternoon.

Be sure to come along and cheer us on.

PHONES PING

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Phones away, now! What?

CHATTER CONTINUES

See you on the hockey pitch, dickheads! Enjoy the pig shit.

Sever what? Severstone! Sever what...

So, it wasn't Caldwell College?

Why would Severstone do that?

Hold on, isn't that Abby's new school?

Oh, bloodclart.

I can't believe Carol was trying to pin this on me.

It was literally your girlfriend's school.

Yo, what do you know about that? What you asking me for?

Because it's your girlfriend's school.

Uh-huh. So, if anyone would know, it would be you.

Brother, I'm just as clueless as you lot.

If you say so.

Guys, do you think they're still pissed off that we won Alge'bros?

Could be that.

It's about the hockey league, you idiot.

Who you calling an idiot?

No, cause let me chat to you. I don't know who...

Trashing was the decoy so they could wreck our equipment.

Do you think that...?

Don't make me say it out loud.

Abby must have had something to do with it.

She is a Severstone student now.

She's part of their hockey team.

And everyone knows whoever was involved must have had a key.

We need to find out the truth.

If she was behind this,

today will be the last match she plays with legs.

OK.

I mean, why would you do that?

INDISTINCT CHATTER

This is Abby, please leave a message.

Yo, Abby, if you value your life, best call me back ASAP.

Check this out. Right.

People! Calm!

CHATTER STOPS

They are clearly scared

that they've let the private school into

their precious hockey league, and

afraid that we could win the season.

If they want war with us,

then war they shall...!

Get down! I said get down!

You know, I really don't know how much to stress to you kids

how much everything relies on this term.

So, how about we stop messing about with these mindless distractions,

and start taking our education seriously?

It's important today goes well.

Eyes are on you.

Eyes are on the school.

So, my suggestion to you is go to your dorm and start preparing.

Go!

Come on!

Come on, come on.

Oh.

Well, I suppose we should call the police now,

now that we know who's really behind it.

And let the world know that anyone can just

stroll into a �50,000-a-year school?

Well, uh...

If I wanted your advice, I'd ask for it.

I think...

Dear God, that woman's a prick.

Oh!

HE SIGHS

Who's she sending a thumbs up to?

INDISTINCT CHATTER

What were we there for? Yapper, yapper, yapper, aaah...

So, when are you thinking of beginning to start this, uh,

project thing?

Don't you mean, when do we have to start this project thing?

Look, let's not make this more painful than it already is.

OK, Felix, I'm just going to send you a bunch of topics to research.

I'm going to do the same, and then on the day,

we'll come together and just...

They are going to see through that and they're going to mark us down.

Trust me, it would be better

if we just work together and get through this.

OK, um, honestly, like, no shade,

I need to get into Oxford and you're not going to help.

Yo, yo, yo. What? You're a wicked girl, Dulverton.

That was harsh!

He failed last year and he's on track to fail this year.

No matter how I look at it, this project is just not going well.

But...

..I'm not stressed.

I'm not stressed. You're not stressed?

No. No?

Because Carol is bringing in Judge Samuels for this mentor thing,

and she knows that I'm studying law,

so obviously we're going to get paired together. OK.

And he's a visiting fellow at the college I applied to,

so if I don't make the grades,

at least I've got a man on the inside.

All I need to do is sweet-talk him a little bit,

show him what Leah's about and bish, bash.

No days off for you.

You know how I be. All right, peace, peace.

Peace, peace. You know how I be.

You know how I be, eh!

You know how I be, mm!

You know how I be. There's people, there's...

Come on, honestly, let's...let's go.

There he is.

Judge Samuels. how do I look, Toby?

Why? Are you looking to smash? What you talking about?

Ah, Leah!

Ah, you're prepared, that's what I like to see.

Let me introduce you to your mentor.

This way.

Vashti Solhatra.

Brilliant fashion curator from Manchester.

Thank you.

Hi, Leah. Grab a seat.

Ooh, that's a nice bag.

Do you mind if I have a look?

The material, really beautiful.

It's gorgeous.

Really pretty.

Toby Staithes? Yeah. Hi, I'm Steven Michaels.

Steve. Good to meet you, Steve. Yeah, sorry I'm late.

Traffic. Bbbrrp! Mee-meee!

OK. Well, it's lovely to meet you.

God, this place hasn't changed.

How are you? Good.

Ah, I see you've got Cambridge on here.

Yeah, it's my alma mater.

Excellent university. Mm.

Yeah, why pick Cambridge?

Why not?

PHONE VIBRATES

Let's turn these off, shall we? Yeah.

A little bit about me.

As Carol mentioned, I'm a fashion curator.

If you're not sure what that is, I investigate cultural,

historical, and social context of clothing.

So sorry.

Why have you paired me with this random fashion person?

We have nothing in common.

She's a woman of colour.

OK.

God, I can't win with you.

First, you give my mentor to your son just to spite me,

then you dump him onto my project, and now this.

My only concern this term is success for all.

I paired you with Felix because

he will be a very helpful contributor.

Would you like to know how, or would you like to moan a little more?

Pfft. OK.

With a small core team,

but with big growth plans over the next three years.

HE SIGHS DEEPLY

If you can't sit through a one-hour session

where someone's giving you valuable advice,

you're bound to fail.

Bruddah, I'm listening.

Really?

What's my job?

You're basically the middleman in the silver economy service.

Right? So, you sell patented palliative health care

fitness technology to the older client.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Although, these numbers you're showing me

ain't as solid as you're making them out to be, Steve.

Probably because your clients are focused

on privately run care homes across Britain.

And really, that's kind of a red tape

when it comes to them lot.

So, what you man really need to be doing

is looking into East Asia, yeah?

So, Japan, for example, has an Asian population

and the language barrier can often put off

a lot of Western investment, which - use your brain -

you could capitalise on.

What do you think about that?

Yeah.

So, yeah, just pattern up

with a couple of them Japanese start-ups

that are ready to invest and boom,

you've added to your books without spending any Ps.

HE SIGHS

"Ps"?

Ps, like money. Oh, yeah.

Good to meet you. Hello.

Lovely to meet you too.

Sorry, I've got to... I've got to go.

Oh, Toby, Toby! Thanks.

Yeah, no problem.

This is painful.

Enjoy the pig shit!

Enjoy the pig shit.

We've watched this video 20 times

and we're still no closer to figuring out if Abby's involved.

Just call her. No, not till we're sure. I just...

PHONE VIBRATES

Oh, my God, Abby is calling.

What do I do? She's not going to admit it, is she?

She's right.

I would call her and try to not spook her, see what we can find out.

OK. Um...

Hey, Abs. Hey! What's up?

Hey. WHISPERS: I said, "Act all natural."

What do you think that I'm doing?

You still there? Everything all right?

Yeah, yeah, everything's...

Everything's cool and natural.

OK.

How are you all doing?

Pretty pissed.

Have you heard anything?

I literally only found out when they posted the video this morning.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, Yelena's losing her shit.

I think she's probably going to do something

really stupid at the match later.

Be my guest.

I'm just trying to keep my head down.

It's not easy being the posh girl at the rival state school, you know?

BOTH: Aww!

I'm sorry, babe. That sounds really hard.

I wish you were back here with us.

I know. Me too.

I miss you, girls.

Miss you. Miss you, Abs. I won't keep you.

I'm guessing you're hitting the gym soon?

OK, cool, well, love you. Um, I'll see you on the pitch.

Bye.

Abby, what are you doing here?

Don't you know the hockey girls are out for blood.

Can we take this elsewhere?

I'm kind of a sitting duck right now.

Is this Jaheim's stuff? No, it's mine.

Don't touch it. Leave it. Oh, you're moving here permanently?

We're not here to talk about me. We're here to talk about you.

What are you doing here? And don't say you're here for me.

I've come to steal the hockey girls' game plans.

I thought that was a one-time thing.

Yes, it was, but one of the girls was meant to grab them and forgot.

Hello.

You do understand, this line that you're crossing,

doing all this, once you cross it, you can't come back from it?

OK? Like, Beatrix and that, them lot are your friends.

Well, now I have new friends.

Well, you changed up quick!

Yeah, well, what would you prefer?

Me to be alone, sitting, eating my lunch in the toilet, friendless?

I just didn't think you would just drop them like that.

Well, it's not like they've been calling or checking up on me.

It's final term.

It's final term. Everyone's just busy.

I know.

I'm not saying it for sympathy.

I know how these things go.

I'll probably see them less when they go to uni

and I go travelling anyway.

Are you going travelling?

Yeah.

One of my great-aunts died or something and left me some money.

My dad wants me to put it down for a deposit on a flat, but hell no.

When? When are you going?

As soon as school ends.

Oh.

That's...cool.

Look, I didn't get into Cambridge.

So what am I meant to do?

Sit around waiting till I can maybe apply again next year?

I don't know. I just...

I thought, like, you could come visit me.

Sitting around between class for you to squeeze me

doesn't sound very appealing, Toby.

I get that.

It just makes me wonder when we're actually going to see each other.

You could defer and come with me.

PHONE PINGS

OK, it's the girls' free period, so they'll be hitting the gym.

I'm going to go.

Mm. Come.

I will see you at the match, OK?

Going to be rich.

Hello. Are... Are you mad?

Oh! What are you doing?

OK, it's just a quick visit.

I literally just came to show you a video.

Yeah. What happens if your brother sees us?

Oh, my God. You know if you just told him, it would actually be OK.

Really not that big of a deal. To have us both murdered, yeah?

OK, Femi, do you, like, not like me?

Cos you know I can just, like... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I, I, I... I like you.

I really like you.

Oh, my God, no way, cos I really like you too.

I'm just, um, kind of done with keeping secrets, if that's OK?

OK, I'll... I'll tell him.

OK. All right. Thank you.

APPROACHING VOICES Oh...

Oh, my gosh, what's happening to your face? What's happened?

Whoa.

..and that's when I said to him...

Fuck, fuck, fuck! Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

It's OK. No, would you, please? Oh, my God.

Please, please, please. No. No. Please. No.

Are you joking? No.

LAUGHTER AND CHATTER

Femi, I have had an epiphany, right?

You need to put Nicolas Cage on that.

Um... Um?

He is the greatest actor ever, that has ever lived. Hands down.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How about you focus on yours, and I'll focus on mine?

Well, mine is complete, cream puff.

Look, check this out. Ah.

Ta-da! Wow. Ta-da.

Internship at the Houses of Parliament,

which Daddy has already sorted for me.

Thank you, Daddy. What have you got?

Oh, look, I know, OK, OK, I know, I know.

This is hurting your head. Come on. I love you, Graham. I really do.

Go on. OK, let's have a little dance.

Yeah, yep. Oh, hello. Femi's here as well.

Oh. Femi making me comfortable.

ALL: Rah'scals forever.

You're it! Oh, please! Oh, please!

THEY GIGGLE

Femi? Femi?

None of this makes fucking sense!

Sh!

Felix. What?

So, I've been doing some thinking and...

..maybe you're right.

We should partner up.

Every partnership has its complementary skill sets.

I'm the brains and you're the resource guy.

So, you found out my godfather works for the British Library, huh?

Your mum said that he's a curator, and that he can give us access

to material that's not part of public domain.

Citing that type of stuff will be priceless.

Oh, so you need me now?

Felix, don't be a dick. You need this just as much as I do.

Ha!

You ain't getting into Cambridge without it.

Well, I don't give a shit about Cambridge any more.

Since when?

Since about 30 seconds ago.

OK, so you're just going to up and change your future.

One of the luxuries of being rich.

You should try it.

You can't just bail, Felix.

Yes, I can! Sh!

KNOCK AT DOOR

Come in.

Hey. Dev, what are you doing in here?

Girls aren't allowed in the boys dorms.

Rules are made to be broken, Omar.

And I come bearing gifts.

OK.

Can I ask you for a favour?

Is it going to get me in trouble?

No. No, no, no. God, no.

Um, well, as you know, I've been working on

my highly-anticipated art piece. Mm.

It's a dope conceptual sculpture

around the portrayal of black masculinity

in mainstream media.

OK.

Oh.

I thought I would get, uh, a more of a reaction out of that.

But anyways, it's amazing, but it's missing something.

Black male figures.

And I know you're big on drawing black men.

So... Yeah, I'm... I'm not really drawing any more.

Wait, what happened to your artwork?

Well, I... I got rid of them.

You threw them away?

Yeah, but then someone brought them back, so...

And they are...?

Under my bed, but you know, I... Oh!

Oh, God.

Oh, yes!

Yes, Omar, this is what I'm talking about.

Can I have 'em? No.

Please.

I tried to draw them on my own,

but they're nowhere near as good as yours.

Look, they're just a bunch of childish rubbish drawings, Devonye.

Come on. They're just collecting dust.

At least let me put them to good use.

Please. I really need to nail this.

Please. Please, please.

This better not come back and bite me.

Yes! Thank you so, so much.

You will not regret this.

Blessings to you and your kin. Goodbye!

HE EXHALES

OK, let's do this.

LSE here we come.

Yo, yo, yo, Omar. Oh, hey.

Wait up, I have something for you.

Here is a list of other art schools.

We can help you write a better personal statement,

and I promise you, along with your artwork, you're getting in.

Look, bro, I got rid of all my artwork.

And not in some bin you can go rooting around in.

So, can we drop it?

Cos, bro, is this what you want to be doing for the rest of your life?

Graphs, numbers, corner offices?

Dream big, bitch.

That's what I'm doing.

Hi. Hey.

Femi, Femi, Femi!

There you are. How are you? How are you?

I'm very well, thank you.

Thank you for meeting with me, Mr Woodell.

So very kind of you.

I'm a big fan.

Oh, now, I'm sure you haven't heard of me before today.

That's very kind nonetheless.

You can let go of my hand now.

Oh, God, sorry, Mr Woodell.

Oh, call me Pinny.

Uh, but, don't be silly.

It's lovely to be made to feel a bit like Brad Pitt.

I, uh, read this article about you

and it spoke about how you weren't particularly academic

in St Gilberts, and how you felt like you weren't good at anything,

but then you found the stage

and something in you just...

CLICKS FINGERS

..clicked.

I feel exactly the same.

Like, I'm good at it.

And it's the thing that brings me the most joy.

So, we're diving right in, are we?

Yeah! I've got so many questions.

That's pretty. What is it? What is this? What...?

Oh, it's a vision board. Oh, yes. We used to do these.

Ha!

Do you still talk with your old classmates?

Oh, good heavens, no.

No, they stopped inviting me on skiing trips long ago.

Grew apart?

Our bank balances...

..differed in the end...

Mm. ..over time.

And, uh, mum and dad?

Yeah, my dad just pretends

that it's not a thing.

But I'm kind of hoping that, once I make success of it, he would,

like, see that it's a real thing.

Just like... Femi, let me stop you.

Um, the last thing I want to do is spoil your party,

but, uh, success in this business is incredibly rare,

especially for black chaps like yourself.

And to tell you the truth, the, uh...

The industry is full of hashtag influencers and nepo babies.

Right, uh...

No, I... I just assumed, cos...

I think you should take this board back to your dorm

and rework it as the actor's journey.

The passion for the craft.

The backstreet theatres where you'll perform for no money.

The fringe festivals.

Spaghetti on toast.

BOTH CHUCKLE

The plays that your father will refuse to come and watch.

Now, Femi, if you wish to follow this path,

then you must do it for the love of it.

The stage is no place for validation.

Hey. Hey. How was your mentoring session?

Yeah, good. Oh, really?

I looked over and saw you falling asleep,

like, multiple times, actually.

Yeah, no, yeah, you know, sometimes I like to close my eyes during...

Oh, yes.

Um, me and the boys started to look at some houses.

Um, I printed them out.

Uh, take a pick, see what ones you like. Yeah.

I like this one, it's got a hot tub.

Oh, and it's got a basement so it can be like a gym in the day,

and then we can have crazy parties at night.

Looks pricey.

Yeah. I'll see you at the hockey game?

I can save you a seat on the coach. Yeah, I...

I wasn't really planning to... Yeah, yeah, no, see you in a bit.

Should be a laugh.

See you on the bus! Yeah, don't be long.

What was that?! Oh, it's wet, it's wet, it's wet. Sorry.

OK, thank you.

Ah...

Ah!

Oh, my God.

Fem-Fems! Hello.

How was the actor? Ooh!

It wasn't what I expected.

He's more of an...

..out of work actor.

Yeah, we could have told you that, mate.

BOTH CHUCKLE

Yeah, that's good, that's good.

Uh...

Huh!

Hate seeing you like this, hey.

What can I do to help you?

Convince my dad that my future isn't a joke.

But it is, mate.

Oh, do you know what? Oh, you know what?

You should come intern with me at the Houses of Parliament.

Fuck! Jealous!

Mate, mate, you know that we would have so much fun.

And your dad would love that. I mean, fuck,

pretending to be important onstage when you can just BE important.

Sack off the acting crap, come get wasted around

a bunch of people who dictate the future of our beautiful isles.

To waste your summer or not to waste your summer?

WHISPERS: That is the question.

Is it not? Yeah. Ah!

See what I did there? You saw what I did there.

Yes, I saw what you did there. I've been studying.

Look at that! Waah! Right, we are off to hockey!

OK. So, how do we look?

Great. As always. Yeah.

As always. Right, see you darling!

Ho-ho! Hockey, hockey, hockey!

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

No, it's fine. I was just, um... Sleeping? Meditating.

Jaheim said you're doing too much.

Well, he's gone now, so...

Do you need some help?

Nah, it's cool. It's nothing you can help me with.

Plus, I'm sure you've got your own revision to get on with.

I'm done for the day.

Done for the day? Bro, it's still daylight.

I stick to a revision schedule,

otherwise, you can end up working all the time and losing your mind.

Well, I take time off when my vision gets blurry.

I can help you put together a schedule.

It really does help.

Yeah? Sure.

Where's your day planner?

Um... Here it is. Is this it?

You did that on purpose.

No, I didn't.

Anyways, I need to go and get ready for this big hockey match.

So, you are taking time off. Nice.

Well, I'm actually kind of being forced by Mabel.

She says if I don't go, then she's going to call my mum

and tell her that I'm not taking care of myself,

which is the last thing I need right now.

Maybe I can show you how to divide your time one evening?

Meet in a campus cafe.

We could grab a hot chocolate.

Cool.

I'll see you there.

Were you just setting up a date?

No. We're just meeting up.

Right.

But just the two of you.

Yeah. In the dark.

Yeah. Over drinks?

Mabel...

..get a life.

That sounds like a date to me. It's not a date.

Sounds like... It's not a date.

Sounds like a fun date. It's not a date.

You're going on a date. I'm not going on a date.

You're going on a date! Mabel...

Oluwafemi! Yeah.

How you dey?

How's all that, um, prancing and dancing stuff going?

My drama A level, Uncle Teju?

Yeah, it's going well.

Good, good.

Oh, and how's the mentoring going with the famous actor?

Well, he said I might not make any money as an actor.

Hmm. For how many months?

For, er, for...

..ever.

Forever! Yeh!

God forbid, O.

Uncle, am I making a big mistake...

..with acting, drama school?

I don't know what you want me to say, eh?

But you're certain this is the route you wanted to take,

to be a professional clown.

I just don't want you to be ashamed of me.

Ha! If you wanted blind support,

then you shouldn't have been born a Nigerian.

They just want the best for you.

If you fail, they will feel like they have failed.

It doesn't work like that.

It's how we all think.

Eh? Our parents, our parents' parents.

Maybe if they see me perform?

I've...I've got a small role in a play,

and they can come and watch it.

Mm-mm-mm-mm, my friend, you'd better remove that idea

from your frog head. Huh?

Save yourself the embarrassment, and don't invite them.

Listen, Femi, we will always be proud of you.

Pride and shame can co-exist, Uncle.

Talk to you later.

Devonye OK. Bye. Bye-bye-bye.

So, you and Mabel, you're into each other, right?

If you mean are our souls interconnected, then, yeah.

OK. So...

..how did you get to that feeling?

We just knew.

Like, she knew me, and I knew her.

Kind of like our spirits co-existed in a past life or something.

Now we're inseparable.

We basically finish each other's...

And then she would say, "Sentences."

Right, right.

Why?

Oh, no reason.

See you in a bit.

OK.

Toby!

Hello. Ah! How are you doing?

The same as when we last spoke.

Ah. What are you doing here?

I was actually waiting for you.

I've been thinking about you all day.

Bruddah! What?

Oh, no, no, no, sorry.

I mean, I was thinking about you because I looked into the stuff

you mentioned, yeah, about the Japanese market.

I told my team, and they love it.

We're setting up some calls, even now, as we speak.

Yeah. Things are moving pretty fast, so thanks.

Or, uh, arigato.

Yeah, it's calm. Um, glad I could help.

Yeah.

All right.

The language barrier you mentioned is a real thing.

Need to get a translator.

Um, I remembered you mentioning that you spoke Japanese.

Right, so you thought you'd give me a shout

and save on your overheads with a little child labour.

Uh... Well...?

I'll pass. I'll pay you.

Reduced rates for now, but once those contracts start coming in...

Come on.

What student doesn't need a bit of money? Something nice to buy?

There must be a girl you want to treat.

Look, think about it, OK?

Think about the bread.

Think about the Ps.

I'm going to think about it.

Good. Yeah.

Weirdo.

Good. Ah, good.

Oh, it's Ginge The Minge.

Sit on that!

You purple twats.

JEERING AND CHATTING

THEY CHANT

Bit much.

SHE MOUTHS

INDISTINCT CHEERS AND SHOUTS

Damn! So, it's like that now, is it?

I don't like how everything is shifting.

They do say long distance relationships are hard, man.

She's decided to go travelling.

Which means the distance is even longer.

I might have to go with her, though.

Toby, what about Cambridge?

Defer.

Look, you two care for each other.

It'll work itself out, no?

No need to be dashing away your future, man.

Come on.

Come on, Severstone!

Come on! Let's go.

ALL: Waaaaaah, Severstone!

WHISTLE

Yes, Abby!

What the hell was that?

INDISTINCT COMMENT AND CHEERS

Let's go!

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Come on...!

What's your name?

Damn, not even a hello.

Hmm.

Well, I'm Benjamin.

Have you got a death wish, Benjamin?

You think I'm scared of a few posh kids?

Anyway, I thought it was worth the risk.

What was?

Talking to you.

No offence, yeah, but...

..you don't look like you belong over here.

Why's that?

Hey, don't make me say it.

But the uniform works.

Purple brings out your melanin.

OK. Mm.

I see you're an A-star student in pulling girls then, yeah?

Nah, nah, nah.

A-star in maths, history and English, actually.

Look how you're surprised, like, non-posh kids can't do well, yeah?

Did I say anything, though? No, no, you didn't.

I didn't say anything. OK.

WHISTLE BLARES

So...can I...get your number,

before these Gilbertines lynch me?

I wish I could say yes...

..but... Why? Why...? Why is there a but?

I'm just on my grind this term.

Final term.

Can't afford any distractions.

All right.

I didn't quite catch your name.

Leah.

Good luck with the grind, Leah.

WHISTLE

I'm sorry.

He weren't even that cute.

Right? Like, he...

Like, he's not that cute.

Toby.

Yes.

I heard you, I don't know why you're asking me.

Because I'm trying to make myself feel better.

OK.

Well, maybe getting railed by a random might make you feel better.

You're not helping.

POP MUSIC DROWNS OUT COMMENTS

Yeah!

WHISTLE

Ohhh!

Beatrix, I swear to God if you

don't get your head in the game I'll cave it in with my stick!

I'm not the only one who can't get on the ball, Yelena!

Come on, let's go! THEY SHOUT OVER EACH OTHER

Ladies!

What?

Come on! Let's go! Come on!

Yo!

Bro, nice artwork.

Is this your handle?

Yeah. Yo...

Yo, these are sick.

Do you know Aito Nakaruma?

No. Bro, you'd love him, yeah.

He goes by the name Hellboy.

Oh, no, wait, I...I do know him.

He...he does a lot of stuff with CreatureArt.

CreatureArt? Yeah, CreatureArt,

it's like, um, Reddit for comic book illustrators.

Like, I'm...I'm talking, like, webcomics, fan art.

Uh, yeah, do, do you mind if...?

Yeah. How have I not heard of this?

So, like, Aito had this, like, mad hiatus for, like,

several years and then disappeared.

No-one heard from him. Mental. Hey!

Oh, hey.

Er... Yeah, I will check this out.

Yeah. Yeah, sure. Yeah, I will...I will see you later, yeah?

Yeah, in a bit.

So, I was thinking,

I think you should meet my mum.

You want me to meet your mum?

Sorry, she went to LSE, too.

I should have started with that ages ago.

But she could give you advice.

And I know she'd love to meet you.

No, I'd love to meet her, too.

It's... Your parents aren't coming up for last supper?

Yeah, I told my parents not to come.

It's our last chance to see family before exams start.

So, I thought since yours aren't coming up,

you'd be all on your own otherwise.

Yeah, I...

I'm fine being by myself.

You don't want to meet her?

You can say no.

Let's do it.

See you out there. We're getting absolutely thrashed.

WHISTLE AND CHEERING

It's like they knew every one of our plays.

Maybe you should change your locks.

Abiola Ashford!

Admit it!

Admit what?

You let them in with your dad's old keys.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Stop fucking lying, Abby!

Let go of the past, ladies, OK.

She's one of us now.

Oh. And what's that?

A rat-arsed limp dick?

Aghhh! No.

Move! Or what?

Huh? You going to set your butler on me?

Aargh!

Ah, come on! Come on!

Come on, you ginger slag!

And you... Come on. Aaargh!

Come on, you fucker! Aargh!

HE GRIZZLES AND SOBS

I fucked it. Wait, I need to go check on Yusef.

No, Abby, we need to talk. No, they need me. Stop!

Oh, my God. Abby! Oh, my God.

HE SPLUTTERS

Don't you encourage them! And you! Why the hell are you cheering?

Let's see what Carol has to say about this.

You should be ashamed of yourselves!

Call yourself a teacher!

Control your students!

Back on the bus.

Toby, on the bus. Look, please, please, man.

I do not care. Get on the bus.

Who you waving at? No-one.

You?

No-one.

Yeah.

RINGING TONE

Hello, this is Steve Michaels.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Yo, Steve.

It's Toby.

Hey, listen, um...

..how much money we talking?

I need something for the summer.

Call me.

LAUGHTER AND DOOR OPENS

Oh, Fem, Fem, Fem...

Femi, Femme Fatale, darling, where were you? You missed it.

The hockey match was amazing! I mean, the girls went full feral.

Oh, my God, so hot.

Yeah, it was crazy, it was so flipping hot.

Ah. Cheds, um...

Yep.

You see that internship with your dad? Is it still open?

Yeah. Why?

I was... Well, maybe I could, um, move some stuff around and do it.

Oh, Femi, oh, my God, I'm going to cry.

I'm going to cry. We're going to have such a good time together.

Amazing! We're going to have so much fun! Oh!

Um, do I need to apply or anything like that?

No, no, oh, my God. No application needed, darling.

Uh, yeah, oh, we're going to dinner for the last supper,

so you can come meet my daddy-o in person.

Like, impress him, that kind of thing?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just stuff like that. But don't panic about it.

I mean, my dad is just a big, fat, jolly teddy bear.

You just need to show him that you're not a massive weirdo.

Can you do that? No, I can do that.

Of course you can! I know you can.

Oh, oh, my annoying sister will be there,

but you can just ignore her, OK.

Mm. Right.

PHONE CHIMES

I'm going to go to the bathroom to have a tactical chunder.

Because the night is still young, isn't it? It is. It is!

Why is Cheddar's sister texting you?

I thought you weren't going to pursue it.

I didn't.

We've been paired together in drama.

She's probably wondering when we can rehearse.

He's just saved your summer, mate.

And quite possibly your future.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Yeah, no, I know.

Mm.

See you.

# Put my hand in your hand and it grips tight

# Good vibes reminiscing and it feels right

# Trying to be polite, not uptight

# Talking eye to eye

# I mean it when I say it that it's you and I

# Give it time, if you need, but I'm by your side

# I make you scared to betray it in black and white... #
