- Keep your eye on the ball! Yes!
- Well done!

- She's some player!

- One of yours!
- It's not feminine, is it?

- What? You want me to be like her?
All lippy and boobs?

- It's one thing having a kick about
with your big brother,

but all those lads in the changing
room?

- I was thinking about you actually,
and us...getting married.

- What?!
- Why not? Spend the rest of our lives
together!

- Those drawings were great! You've
got real talent.

- That's the first time anyone's said
anything good about me

at school before.
- Well, keep on track. I like the new
you.

- See you tomorrow, Miss.

- I overheard Connor talking to some
of his friends about you

and a pregnancy scare. I thought we
were careful, Christine.

- You can relax, it was a false alarm,
just like us, apparently,

but it's good to know you were so
terrified at the prospect.

I should go.
- Christine!

- # Can't stand the heat in the
kitchen

# From what I've been wishing

# I'm fearing the truth will now out

# If I can't believe it

# Then what now I've seen it...

- 'Kacey!'

- # No reason to shout...

Just a minute!

- Kacey, come on! Get a move on!

- # The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows

# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows

# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows

# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows...

- Kacey!

We're going to be late!

What are you doing in there?!

- SHE GROANS

- I give up! I'll see you at school!

- # The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows

# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows

# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows

# Why won't you admit

# You keep feeling the same?

# I can't keep calling the shots

# I've given all that I've got

# See, we're more than just friends

# Do you want it to end...

- Hey, who is that?

- Oh, you mean "our Kacey?"

# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows... #

- Careful you don't fall off that
thing!

You can't get injured before the big
cup final!

- Since when do you care about school
football?

- Hey, you're me kid sister.

If you care about the team, well, then
I care about it.

- Oi, Kace! Think fast!

This is going to be an easy match!

St Dominic's won't know what hit them!

- They got to the final without
dropping a single goal.
- Who cares?

In a few hours' time we'll be bringing
back that trophy!

- Oh, well, if it happens, it won't be
thanks to you.

Everyone knows you losers couldn't win
a game without her.

- Whatever.

- Barry, why'd you have to do that?!

- Truth hurts, Kace. He knows you'll
either make or break that game.

- We're a team!

- I was thinking of running a book,
taking a few bets.

You know everyone's going to put money
on Waterloo Road to win.

- Yeah, cos we will win.

- And if we don't, guess who'll be
quids in?

It's like I said! They can't win
without you.

Maybe, you could have a bad day at the
office.

Accidentally...on purpose.

I knew you wouldn't let me down.

- We've got a problem.
- Well, it is a day ending in Y.

- I was just having a nice cup of
rosie, bickie,

little relax before the start of the
day...

- Yeah, I do hope this is meandering
towards a point at sometime.

- ..when I realised that I hadn't
filled in the paperwork

that the league cup organiser sent
over for the footie team.

- It's not an issue, we'll e-mail them
before the match.

- Thing is, formal guidelines on
sports participation.

Check out clause 2.5.

Girls ain't allowed to play on mixed
teams after 14.

Kacey's already 15, ain't she?

- Yes, thank you, Sonya.

- The association reckon they sent the
paperwork through to Mr Clarkson

at the start of the season.

- Morning. Hey.

Eh, listen, I know you've got a lot on
your plate,

but we're a linesman short later on.

Couldn't put the word out, could you?

I think we might have a little more
luck if it came from you.

- Formal guidelines? This is serious
now, Tom.

- Well, eh, you knew about this from
the start.

- It's not just about building Kacey's
confidence, it's gone too far now.

- It doesn't change anything now.
We're in the cup final.

- Waterloo Road are in the cup final.
Kacey Barry is not.

- Are you serious?
- She's off the team. End of story.

- End of story?

Kacey's been through a group stage,
two knockout rounds

and months of training for this.

- I'm more than aware how hard Kacey
has worked.

- Are you? She's done everything we've
asked of her.

Kept her head down. Now you're going
to snatch it away from her.

- I can speak to her if you prefer
that?

- No. The least I owe her is to tell
her myself.

It's my team. At least I thought it
was.

- Hey, little man? Fancy a flutter on
the game?

- I don't know.

- Come on. You do want Waterloo Road
to win, don't you?

- Barry, can I have a quick word?

I just wanted to let you know

that we'll be seeing a lot less of
each other from now on.

- Yeah?
- I met with Mr Byrne yesterday and we
both agreed,

you've made enough progress to be
taken off special measures.

- Seriously?
- Well, don't look so surprised. You
deserve it.

But report to the PRU as normal this
morning, OK?

Oh, Barry. Keep your nose clean.

- Think she'll be so buddy-buddy

when she finds out you've been taking
money off of kids?

- And how are you coming up with cash
for Dad's lawyers?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

- So that's the stairway, and upstairs
we have Maths.

- Yeah, very funny. I've been in the
PRU, not Mars.

- I'm just helping you get your
bearings back.

It's good to have you back with the
rest of us.

- Here, come here.
- What're you doing?

- Right, I was going to wait until
after school to give you this but...

Open it.

It's second-hand, but I spent all last
night cleaning it.

- It's beautiful, but I think people
might notice

if I'm swanning around wearing that.

- Who cares if they notice?

They're going to find out soon enough
anyway.

- I just like keeping it between us.
Why do we have to shout about it?

- Cos we're in love.

Because the whole point of getting
married is to shout about it.

- Hey, Gen. I can count on you to come
up to the game later?

- Who's Gen?
- It's short for Imogen.

He thinks it's funny cos I hate it.

- St Dominic's have a mega following,
so let's make sure we do too, yeah?

- Go Waterloo Road.
- You hate football.

- It's not about football, it's about
supporting the school.

- Nice one, Gen.

- Glad to see you made friends when I
was gone.

- I got stuck with him as a chemistry
partner the other day.

He's actually a pretty good laugh.

- Hmm. See you later, Gen.

- Connor, wait. Connor!

- Excuse me. Excuse me. Calm down.

There's enough room for everyone.

- Yes! Not that I'm surprised.

It'd be a crime to rob the world of
this talent.

- What the hell is that doing up?
- I got picked.

- It must be a typo. I'm kidding.

- Is something wrong?
- I haven't had a chance to tell Kacey
yet.

- Where's my name? Sir?

- There's no easy way of saying this.

You won't be playing in the match this
afternoon.

- What? But Sir?
- If it was up to me...

- It is up to you. You're our manager.
You pick the team.

- I don't make the rules.
- You mean it's because I'm a girl?

- Mr Byrne has decided that he can't
go against regulations.

- That's not fair.

- Munch, what's up?

- I won us the semifinals and the
quarters.

And I've scored in every single group
match.

- And you're right. It's not fair.

I'm sorry.

- Calm down, yeah?

- I have to play. I have to.

- You knew it had to end sometime.

You can't play with the boys your
whole life, can you?

- And what would you know about it?

# Expertise on air guitar

# So your fingers never bleed... #

- Kacey?

- Who are you?
- Zoe. From the BMX forum.

- You go here?

- As of today, yeah.

- Do you want to get out of here?

- Yeah.

- Must have missed the shout, "Bring
out your dead."

- Stick to your class of reprobates

and leave the humour to those better
suited.

- Tom, I just heard about Kacey. I'm
so sorry.

- It's her you should feel sorry for.
She's given everything to that team.

- And what if she had broken her leg
or something,

cos she's not as strong as the lads?

- Why let a kid follow their passion

when there's health and safety to
consider?

- Morning, everyone. If I could have
your attention for just a sec?

I know that lunch time is your own
time so there's no pressure.

- Here we go.

- But I'd like to see as many of you
as possible out there

to support the football team.

- Why not fit us for nosebags and
scrap lunch altogether?

- We're also looking for an extra
linesman,

so if any of you would like to
volunteer?

Grantly?

Thank you. That's a lovely gesture.

- THEY LAUGH

OK, grab a Bunsen burner and get into
pairs.

- Here you are, mate, this one's for
you.

Eh, if you'd rather work with someone
else...

- No, it's not you. It's Imogen. I
think she's gone off me.

- Oh, come on.
- No, I'm serious.

I bought her something I'd put a lot
of thought into

and she just knocks it back.

And then she's being all flirty with
Jack.

- All the girls are flirty with Jack.
- Not Imogen.

- Well, if she's having doubts,

and I'm not saying she is, maybe you
need to fight for her.

- Fight? How? She already knows how
much she means to me.

- Just show her you're better than
lover boy over there.

- I hope you're moving with some sort
of scientific purpose, Jack.

- Of course, Mrs Diamond.

Eh, Robbie Hays had to pull out the
match.
- Great.

Now we've got no star striker and no
goalie for the game.

- Of course we've got a star striker,
what are you talking about?

- I'll do it.

- HE LAUGHS

- What? Just cos I haven't played
before doesn't mean I can't.

- Jack, back to your seat, please.

- You sure about this?

- Yeah, whatever it takes.

- So all that extreme sport stuff they
talk about in the forum,

you really into it?

- Yeah, aren't you?

- I like BMXing and skateboarding when
I get the chance, but...football.

It sounds small, but when I'm on that
pitch nobody can stop me.

It's like...

- No, go on, please.

- It's like flying. Like I'm free. You
know what I mean?

- You're so different to how I
imagined you.

- Yeah?

- I mean, you're not like any other
lad I've ever met.

- Erm, did I say I was a boy?

I don't think I did, but, I mean,
maybe...
- Oh, OK.

- If I did, then...
- No, you didn't.

I guess I just assumed and then I saw
you with the football.

So you're a girl?

- I've got to go.

- No, don't. It doesn't matter, not
really.

- I can't believe you really thought I
was a boy.

- So what do people do for fun around
here?

- Take a seat, turn to act two,
please.

- Tom, a quick word?

- Quietly.

- I thought you should know Kacey
Barry hasn't turned up

for either of her classes this
morning.

- Right. I had a feeling something
like this might happen.

Look, I don't think Michael realises
how much this match means

to these kids. Kacey especially.

- You knew she couldn't play football
with the boys for ever.

It might have been an idea to prepare
her a bit.

- What I should have done is told him
where to stick his rules.
- Tom.

- I'm serious. He reckons it's his job
to follow the letter of the law

but it's mine to do what's right by
these kids.

- Tom, don't do anything you'll
regret.

- Why can't I hit anything?

- Here.

BELL RINGS

- Ha, yes!

- I thought you were supposed to be
the sporty type?

- For the record,

if we were go-karting or rafting or
cycling right now, I'd be winning.

- Now you really are kidding.

- You think a lot of yourself, don't
you?

- When there's reason to.

- Then you won't mind if I pick what
we do next?

Seeing as you're so good at
everything.

Come on, you can win me a teddy bear.

Well, it's not ideal,

but Sonya dug this out of the bowels
of the PE cupboard.

- What's this?
- Grantly's volunteered to run the
line at the game later.

- I'll look like a stick of liquorish
in that.

- Well, we all have to do our bit,
Grantly.

- Maybe we should find you a nice pair
of cycling shorts to go with it?

- Lucky you're not hung-over, eh?

- Hung-over?

- Word of advice, Grantly. Don't play
out on a school night.

Or if you do, learn to hide it better.

- I didn't see you with anything
stronger

than a cup of tea last night.

- You can't keep track of my every
move, try as you might.

- Sian filled you in about Kacey?

- Yeah, I'll deal with Miss Barry when
she reappears.

- You do realise that it's your
decision that's led to this?

- A decision that you've forced me to
make.

- Well, I've got a free period next.

I was going to drive into town, see if
I could find her.

- Good idea.
- I just wanted to get your permission
first.

In case leaving school during teaching
hours

is against regulations.

- Look, just find her.

- Guess whose boyfriend has made the
footie team?

- He means him? What happened, they
need a mascot or something?

- Goalie, actually.
- Oh, right.

- What about the study group? We've
got a meeting at lunch time.

- I thought this is what you wanted?

- For you to turn into a meathead. Why
would you think that?

- What is up with you today?

- Me? You're the one who's had a
personality transplant.

- Are you getting cold feet, is that
it?

Look, talk to me.

- I...

- Right. Got it.

- Trouble in paradise?

- More like trouble with me. Why can't
I just say what I mean?

- Cos you're a human being.

- Helpful.

- Look, if you can't tell him how you
feel,

eh...why don't you find a way to show
him?

- You're a genius, do you know that?

- Oh, aye, Mensa here I come.

- Did that make you happy? Me thinking
you were a boy?

- Is that weird?

- No. I mean, it's different, but
everyone's different.

Look at me.

I'm a girl who likes extreme sports,
can't stand cooking,

hates watching TV.

People have thought I'm a freak my
whole life.

- Really?

- People will get it, you know? A lot
of them might even be cool.

- Yeah, right.

- I'm serious. Everyone's got their
thing.

This is just your thing.

- Just?

- OK, so it's not JUST anything.

But I like you for who you are and
that's it.

And if I think that, why wouldn't
other people?

- The thought of everyone knowing,
it's, I don't know, scary.

- Scary how?

- When people think I'm a boy, it
doesn't feel like pretending.

The bit where I'm correcting people,
going into the girls' loos,

that's the bit when I'm not being
real.

- Oi! Enjoying our little outing, are
we?

I think we better go and see Mr Byrne,
don't you?

Come on.

- Zoe, I know it's your first day but
I'm sure that you're aware

attendance is a prerequisite of being
a pupil here.
- Yes, Sir.

- And if you're hoping to get off to a
good start

then I'm afraid you've failed. Who's
her form tutor?

- Mr Chalk. I'll have a word. Make
sure he knows to keep an eye.

- Right. Off you go.

As for you, Kacey...

- Please, sir? Just let me play, I'll
do anything.

- This is about your education, this
is not football.

I'm afraid I've no choice but to put
you back in the PRU.

- What?
- Would you take her back down there,
Mr Clarkson?

Inform Miss Boston, please.

- Come on.

This is ridiculous.

- Are you sure about this?

The PRU wasn't designed

to be held over the pupils' heads as a
punishment.

- Kacey was only brought back into the
mainstream on a probationary basis.

It seems entirely appropriate to send
her back to the PRU.

- Even though she's been improving
steadily in the mainstream?

- There's no evidence of that based on
today.

- Barry's also been improving, by the
way.

That's something we might jeopardise

by putting him and Kacey back together
again.

Well, I just hope this doesn't knock
them both back to square one.

- This is so stupid.

I've been playing as a lad for months
and no-one's cared.

I belong on that team, you know I do.

Byrne's the only one making this into
a big deal.

- Well, unfortunately, he's the man in
charge.

Now, come on, let's get this over
with.

- Miss?
- Yeah?

- Is it all right if I take a copy of
Romeo And Juliet

back to the school house for Jade?
- Yes, good idea, Jodie.

In fact, come back to me at the end of
the day

and I'll get together a pack together
of everything she needs.

- Swot!

- All right, carry on with your quiet
study time.

- I thought we got rid of her?

- Looks like she's back in the special
unit, then.

- I was hoping not to see you in here
again.

- You think I want to be here?

- Oi, mouth.

Look, with a bit of hard work, it's
only temporary.

- And why should I bother doing that?

- All right, enough, Kacey.

Now, you need to catch up so you'll
need to stay with me

in the PRU at lunch time.

- You mean I don't even get to watch
the football?

- That's a bit over the top, isn't it?

- None of you care, do you? About what
I want.

About how I feel. I just wanted one
day.

One day to try and...

SHE YELLS

- Kacey!
- For goodness' sake!

- It's fine. I'm all right.
- Let me see.

I better take her down to the nurse,
just in case.

- Yeah.

Well, looks like Michael made the
right decision.

- I didn't know we were hiring.

- Connor's been picked for the footie
team.

- I just thought it'd be nice to show
some support.

- Well, as the team's new number one
fan,

I hope you won't be baying for my
blood over Kacey Barry as well?

- Hardly. Everyone wants to win this
match, Michael,

but the rules are the rules.

- Well, that's the oranges, juice,
water.

That should keep the little tykes
energised in the second half.

- I'm sure you've got everything under
control, Maggie.

- Not checking up on us, then?

- No.

I'm glad I caught up with you.

We didn't really get a chance to talk,
not properly.

Coffee?

Let me buy you a coffee.

- I'm just starting to be the mother
Connor deserves.

Let me just concentrate on that for
now.

- And, eh, you and him are good?

- Better than we have been in a really
long time.
- Great.

You deserve it.

- BELL RINGS

- Hey. What's the verdict on the hand?

- A bit bruised, that's all.

Still match-fit, if that's what you're
asking.

- Look, Kacey...

- "If there's anything I can do I
would." Whatever!

- Do you think this match means any
less to me than it does to you?

- It must, or you wouldn't let Byrne
do this.

- Seeing you lot rise to the
challenge,

that's the best thing I've done since
I've got here.

- We can't give up now. We just can't.

- If you play and we get caught, we'll
get disqualified.

- I don't care, we've got to try.

- There's a chance that Mr Byrne won't
allow a football team next term

and definitely not one with me and you
involved.

- Bringing that cup home, though.

I've never been good at anything in my
whole life.

All everyone's seen me as is just
another useless Barry,

but I can do this.

I can win this match for us, I swear.

You know you want it too.

- You better get that hand wrapped
tight.

We don't want it getting knocked
during the game.

- Yes!
- We need the rest of the team to
agree to it first.

- They'll agree. They want to win,
don't they?

Come on, Waterloo Road.

- Right, lads. Gather in.

We have to make everyone believe that
Kacey's a lad,

like the rest of you.

- Isn't that what we've been doing all
tournament?

- Yeah, but now Mr Byrne isn't on
side.

So if we get caught out, we could face
disqualification.

We have to be ready for that.
- So you're going to let her play?

- If everyone's in agreement, yeah.

- Well, she's scored in every game so
far. We need her.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Right, then.

Now, we've all seen St Dominic's play,
we know how strong they are.

Tight in defence. Dangerous in attack.

But we are better than them.

Better on the pitch and better up
here.

Cos we're a team. Thinking and
operating as one unit.

Looking out for each other. Supporting
each other.

That's the only way to show them what
we're made of

and bring that trophy where it
belongs. And where's that?

- ALL: Waterloo Road.

- Can't hear you!
- ALL: Waterloo Road!

- Where?
- ALL: Waterloo Road!

- Let's get out there. Let's do it.

If Mr Byrne sees you, let me handle
it, all right?

Go get changed.

- CROWD CHEERS

- Come on, lads. Get warm. Focus.

Come on, Kace, you can do this.

- Michael not here, then? I hope you
know what you're doing.

- Yeah, my job. Jack?

- Her and Scout probably stopped off
for some munchies or something.

- Go Kacey.

- I'm not interested in any stupid
final, let alone take tips from you.

- Keep your mouth shut, yeah?
- Oh, I get it. This thing's totally
bent.

- Is there something going on here?

- Just a friendly discussion. You know
what it's like.

- He's scamming everyone left, right
and centre,

taking bets on the football game,

but only if they put money on Waterloo
Road to win.

- Is this true?
- No way. Compulsive liar, that one.

- I know what you're like.

You wouldn't bet unless you thought
you could win.

Is Kacey in on this? Is she going to
throw the game?

- Rhiannon, go inside.

Hand it over.

It wasn't a request.

Turn out your pockets.
- You what?
- Now.

- Come one, Miss. You know you don't
want to do this.

- I will be going through this list

and returning the money to its
rightful owners.

- You can't do that.
- Watch me.

You can report to me at registration
tomorrow.

You're back on special measures.
- Why bother taking me off?

- Because I believe in you, Barry.

I just wished you believed in
yourself.

And if what Rhiannon says is true

and you have involved your sister in
this,

I suggest you think about how much she
means to you

and about how much this game means to
her.

CROWD CHEER

Afternoon.
- Afternoon.

Captains? Captains?

- Go on.

- Shake hands.

Heads or tails?

- Heads.

- Heads it is.

- We'll have this side. You can have
kick off.

- We've got centre, lads. Let's do
this.

- Come on, boys.

CHEERING

- Christine?

- Shouldn't you be at the game?

- I'm just on my way there now, but I
wanted to talk to you first.

I think I owe you an apology for
earlier.

- Michael...

- Look, just hear me out. I was very
forward.

I pushed.

But I want you to know that I'm
willing to move at your pace,

whatever that is.

- Do you think he'll like it?

- Once we've finished, all the boys
will want one.

Are those two an item or what?

- I don't think so. Looks like they
want to be though.

- Maybe someone else is having trouble
saying how they really feel.

- Come on, Waterloo Road. Get stuck
in.

- CHEERING

- You look more nervous than they do.

- I remember being in the cup final
when I was at school.

I got so nervous I couldn't stop
throwing up.

- Did you win?
- Let's hope it's second time lucky,
eh?

- How are you?

You've got to be joking me!

- Come on. Talk to each other.

- Can you please tell me what you
think you're doing?

- Helping these kids achieve
something. What are you doing?

- The game's already kicked off.

There's not much we can do about it
now.

Unless you want to punish the whole
team.

- To Jack. To Jack.

Go on, Kacey.

- CHEERING

Oh, Imogen. It's so masculine. Really
intense, just like me.

SHE GIGGLES

- Leave it out.

- I'll wear it for ever.

Don't take this the wrong way

but maybe you're just better off
buying Connor something?

- No, it has to be more personal than
that.

- An IOU's personal.

- This is important, Scout. I really
messed things up.

- Well done, lads. Make sure you get
something to eat and drink.

- You were great out there. Seriously.

- Kace? What I said earlier about the
betting and that...

Just ignore me, yeah? You play your
heart out.

- Well, I'd love to hear you justify

going against my specific
instructions?

- I don't need to justify it. I broke
the rules.

Went against your authority.

Kacey's finally engaged with the
school. Invested in it.

Football's done that, not the iron
fist.

You won't get an apology out of me.
- Right, I need to see you later on.

- OK, look, I'm just going to come out
with it, because someone has to.

I mean...is he really worth it after
everything he did?

- We've put all that behind us now.
- Are you sure?

- We have.

- I'm just saying, cos if someone had
hurt me like that

I'd want to see what other lads had to
offer.

- Hurting me was the worst thing that
ever happened to him.

I swear, you don't know what it did to
him.

He really loves me, Scout. And I
really love him.

- CHEERING

- Not long now.
- Yeah.

- Close him down. Close him down!

- CHEERING AND GROANING

- Come on. Heads up, Waterloo Road.

- Come on, Kacey.

- Shouldn't you step in before we have
to call an ambulance?

- Why don't you take a breather? You
look like you can do with it.

- Grantly Budgen is a lot of things,
but he is not a quitter.

- Since when?

Come on, lads.

- That's it, Waterloo Road. Come on.

- Go Kacey.

CHEERING

WHISTLE BLOWS

CHEERING

You did it.

- What do you think you're doing, you
perv?
- What?

- Get your filthy hands of my sister.

- MURMURING

She's a girl?
- She doesn't look like a girl.

- Sir? What should we do?

- You go back to school. I'll handle
this, all right?

- That's bang out of order.

- Kacey? What was all that about?

- I wasn't supposed to... they found
out.

- Not that. You and Zoe?

- I don't know what that was.

- You know you can talk to me?

I mean, if you and her are... you can
say.

- I've got to go.

- Connor? Connor, wait?

I need to talk to you.

I haven't got cold feet, I promise.

The last thing I want to do is call
anything off.

- Then why knock the ring back?

Why flirt with Jack and not come up to
see me play?

- I wasn't flirting with Jack.

I missed you when you were in the PRU,
that's all.

I didn't knock the ring back.

I love the ring, but...

- But what?

- I just got so freaked out at the
thought of everyone knowing.

- Why? Everyone's going to be pleased
for us.

- My mum won't be.

I haven't told her we're seeing each
other again,

let alone planning to...you know. I'm
sorry I didn't tell you earlier.

- I got this totally wrong, didn't I?

- I think we have to work on this
communication thing.

I made you this.

I had to get Scout to help me cos I
was so useless, but...

- It's great.

- I thought I could maybe wear the
ring on my necklace,

just till I get Mum on side.

- Seriously?

- From now on, I promise to be honest
with what's bothering me.

- Well, I know we said we would treat
you like one of the lads, but...

- THEY LAUGH

Sorry, I...
- No, no. I mean, stay here all you
want.

There's not much to see here anyway,
is there?

- I'll just...

# Are your secrets mine to hide
inside?

# Cos it might be my

# The frozen lake where we walk

# Is gonna change

# In the thaw, I know

# It's just a lake of

# And I wanna be someone

# Who makes you feel beautiful

# I wanna be someone

# Who does

# I wanna be someone... #

- You think you're such a big man,
don't you?

- Aw, just do one, lezza.

- Kacey needs your support, not your
mindless prejudice.

- Look, I can see how you'd get the
wrong end of the stick.

A girl playing football.

Short hair and all that, but Kacey's
normal.

She's not a freak like you.
- You really don't understand her, do
you?

- Don't talk to me about my family.

- It's not about who she wants to
sleep with.

It's about who she is inside.

- What you on about - who she is?
No-one knows Kacey better than me.

- Really? And do you know that inside
she's not a girl at all?

- Oi!

- What did you say?

- You heard me.

- Haven't you made enough of a
nuisance of yourself today?

I think you should report to Mr
Clarkson, don't you?

Go on.

As for you two miscreants, five
minutes to cool down that temper

before you head back to class.

You. Kacey get changed. Now!

- I still don't understand why I'm the
one having to defend myself here.

- Because you're the one who's been
causing trouble

all morning, that's why.

- I know what it looked like between
me and Kacey,

but she'd never have done that if it
wasn't for him.

- Done what?
- Pushed me away.

- To be honest, it's more your
attitude that I'm bothered about.

Day one, skipping school, disruptive
behaviour.

- Someone had to put him in his place.
- Put Barry in his place?

I can tell you haven't been here that
long.

It's all very good that you want to
stand up for yourself,

but why don't you try keeping your
nose clean for, say, a few hours.

- Can I go see Kacey, please?
- This is a school. Not a social club.

- Please? I want to tell her that it's
OK. I understand.

- You're losing me a bit here, Zoe.

- No, you get it. You're one of the
only ones that does.

- What?

- You've been letting her play as a
boy for ages.

Pity other people weren't so
enlightened.

She needs people like us.

People who accept her for who she
really is.

- All right. Now that you're all here,
let me just say this.

Attendance at this school is not
optional.

You do not duck out whenever you fancy
it.

- I've heard of somewhere like that.
What is it?

Oh, yeah, prison.

- Kacey has proved today that she
hasn't understood this basic rule.

So I can only presume that the rest of
you haven't either.

- Oh, here we go.
- What are we getting dragged into it
for?

She's the one that bunked off.

- We're a unit.

And if one person steps out of line
then they let the whole unit down.

- So not fair.

- I get it. It's supposed to teach us
about loyalty.

- Yeah, loyalty and responsibility,
amongst other things.

Right, on your feet.

On your feet. In a line. File out.

- If I come back with sweat patches,
I'm going to kill you.

- Now.

- Her tears fell with the dews at even

Her tears fell ere the dews were dried

She could not look on the sweet heaven

Either at morn or eventide.

- Thank you, Imogen.

- KNOCK ON DOOR

- Now, all continue reading, please.
In peace.

- Sorry.

- They were like that in study group
earlier.

So I've been thinking, and I've come
up with a plan.

- Whoa, wait a minute.

- I thought maybe we could book them a
table at a restaurant.

Find some way to get them both
there...
- No, not a good idea.

- Come on, they obviously like each
other.

- Look, I know you're trying to help
but Mum's just not ready.

- She's not ready to be happy?

- I don't want her getting hurt again,
especially not by him,

the way he acted last week.

- Look, I'm sure she'll be happy to
know you're looking out for her,

but she's a grown woman, Connor.

You can't look after her for ever.

Besides, he's not bad looking. For an
older guy.

- Yeah?

- Come on, Rhiannon. The slower you
go, the longer it will flipping take.

- Don't blame me, it's not my fault.

- Less of the chat, please. Head
outside.

Start doing laps of the playground.
Kacey, hang on.

You want to talk to me about anything?

- Like what, Miss?

- Look, I know I'm not as touchy-feely
as some of the others here,

but I'm hard on you for a reason.

I want to push you so that you'll do
better.

I do care, you know?

You can talk to me about anything. Any
time.

- Can I just join the others?

- No, actually.

Go and clear out the stationery
cupboard and then go upstairs

and put a textbook on every desk.

Here's the key code. Go on.

- Yes, Miss.

BELL RINGS

- My footie star.

- It's a shame you couldn't see me
play.

It was actually not that bad.

- I was there in spirit. Backing you
all the way.

- I know there's been a lot going on
lately.

- Well, that's certainly one way of
putting it.

- But me and you, we're OK. I mean,
I'm here for you whatever.

All I want is for you to be happy.

- Connor, you're a good boy.

- Are you happy then, Mum?

- As long as me and you are back on
track, that's all that matters.

- Yeah, but that can't be your whole
life.

- For now, it can. It's going to take
me a while to make things up to you

and until I do, you are my priority.

- So you're going to put everything on
hold for me?

- Connor, where is this coming from?
You don't have to worry about me.

- See you at home then?
- Yes.

- Well?
- So what's this plan of yours?

- Sir?

- Imogen, what can I do for you?

- Sir, I was wondering if we could
have a chat after school.

It's kind of sensitive.

- OK, no problem.
- Your office, end of period six?

- Sure.

- Stage one complete.

DOOR SLAMS AND LOCKS

- Is it true, Kace?

Did you tell that Zoe you were a boy?

- I didn't tell her...
- She made you. Is that it?

Maybe it makes her feel better for
fancying girls

if she can make out you're a boy.
- It wasn't like that.

- Then what? What was it like?

- You want the truth?

- What've you done?

- I learned how to do it on a website.

- A website? What?

- I didn't even know I was looking for
it

and then I was going on it all the
time and...

- Don't say anything else.

- It's about how to make yourself pass
as a boy.

- So this is like some experiment,
yeah? Some prank?
- No!

- Well, what is it then?!

- It's who I am. I can't help it.

- Are you a lezza? Is that it?

- It's got nothing to do with that.
It's about me.

My body. It's not right and it's not
mine.

Today was supposed to be some sort of
test.
- What?

- To see if I could really do it. Be
who I am, properly.

- This is my fault. Always letting you
tag along with me.

Treating you like one of the boys. No
wonder you got confused.

But we're going to fix this, Kace.
We're going to make it better.

You want to be normal, don't you?

- I just want to be me.

- Right.

- What're you doing?

- You're a girl and I'm going to prove
it.

- Somebody help!

- Look at me!

- SCREAMING

Somebody! Help me! Help!

- Barry, get off her. Open this door!
- Look at me.

- BATTERING ON WINDOW

- Barry! Barry, stop it.

Barry, turn round and open this door.

I can't open the door, he's locked it.
Barry, stop it.

- Come here!
- Tom?
- Stand back.

- I'm not a girl. I'm a boy!

- I mean, I... It's not how it...

You, in the cooler! Now!
- Get off me! Just get off!

- Let's get her out of here.
- Come on.

- Years of abuse to this old body and
then what to do you do, eh?

You volunteer to be a linesman. What
possessed you?

- Might have been a bit... Bit gung
ho.

I do think I might be coming down with
something.

Could be flu.

- Man flu, you mean. There's little
Jade, eh?

Coming back to school tomorrow, barely
a week after giving birth,

and here's you - moaning about having
the sniffles.

- Good job I've got you to keep me on
my toes, isn't it?

- Isn't it? Come on, let's get you
home.

If you're lucky and you play your
cards right,

I'll make you a hot toddy.

- An offer no sane man could refuse.

- Where is Kacey now?
- With Sian in pastoral care.

- Tom, do you have any idea how
damaging it could be for a girl

who's confused about her gender to
feel pressured into

behaving like a boy for the sake of a
football match?

- Yes, I do. Look, if I had any idea
that Kacey was feeling that way

then obviously I would never have done
it. None of us would.

- You were the one who allowed the
situation to escalate

by putting your own agenda before a
pupil's needs.

- I honestly thought that I was doing
what was best for Kacey.

- Well, you weren't.

Kacey has a potentially very difficult
journey ahead of her

and this is the last thing that she
needs.

- And I'm going to do whatever I can
to make it up to her.

Support her in any way that I can with
this.

- I'm sorry, but I don't think that's
going to be possible.

I'm suspending you pending an enquiry
into your behaviour.

- What? Come on.

- Tom, I'm sorry, but I think it's
best that you don't finish the day.

- For the record, it was never just
about the winning.

- We will work with an educational
psychologist

and support you however we can.

We're going to make sure you get the
help you need with this.

- Help me? I don't even know what THIS
is.

You heard Barry, he thinks I'm a
freak.

- It might take some people a bit of
time.

- They're my family, and Mum will be
ten times worse.

I can't... There's no way.

Maybe I can be normal. If I tried
really hard at it.

I don't have to be like this.

- Sorry to interrupt.

- I was just reassuring Kacey that
we're here, whatever she needs.

Whenever she needs it.
- I don't think I can do this.

- No-one thought you could play
football either

but you proved them wrong.

Do you know what I think?

I think you can do anything you put
your mind to.

I owe you an apology.

If I had known you were feeling like
this, there is no way

I would have asked you to play as a
boy.

- You didn't make me. I wanted to.

- Well, I pushed you. It wasn't fair.

From now on, no-one's going to make
you do anything

that you're not ready for.

- What if I end up alone?

- That will not happen. OK?

I was going to act as Kacey's pastoral
care mentor,

but if you'd rather?

- No, you go ahead.
- Where are you going?

- If you need anything, Mrs Diamond
knows how to get in touch with me.

- Tom?
- I'm sure it's only temporary.

- Sir?

You did the right thing.

Thanks for letting me play.

- You're very welcome.

- # We used to be closer than this

# We used to be closer than this

# We used to get closer than this

# Is it something you... #

- Sitting in silence isn't going to
help anyone.

Barry, it's natural to feel thrown by
this.

Bottling up your feelings. Lashing
out.

How's Kacey?

- Confused and frightened, but she's
tough. How about him?

- Silent.

Maybe you'll have more luck.

- BELL RINGS

I heard about her, she's a freak.

MURMURING AND LAUGHING

LAUGHING

- Leave her alone.

Kace? Kacey?

- Sir?
- Now's not the time, boys. We need
your help, Sir.

- It's about Kacey.

- I've just told Kacey we'll support
her however we can.

Same goes for you, Barry.

Obviously this isn't going to be easy

but I know how much she means to you.

HE LAUGHS SOFTLY

- She?

- Excuse me?

- How much she means to me.

My sister, yeah?

Not some freak.

- Using that kind of language isn't
going to help anybody.

- You think I'm just going to watch
her turn into some joke

and say nothing?

Act like everything's all right?

- To be honest, I don't really think
you're going to have much choice.

She's always going to be your family.

- She's nothing to me. She does this.
Blackens our name.

Has everyone talking about us. Saying
things.

She might as well be dead.
- Calm down.

- Don't tell me what to do. You don't
know me.

- I know that you're desperate to
prove you're a man

but this kind of behaviour, it just
proves the opposite.

- You think I'm not a man?

I'm a boy, am I?

Am I a boy to you?

- I've kept you long enough. You can
go.

- Thank you, Miss.

- Can I borrow you for a minute?

- Actually, Sir, I just want...
- It won't take long, I promise.

- What's all this?

- Well, we didn't want you to rush off
without giving you this.

- The match ball?

- The man of the match.

- You OK with that?

- Man of the match?
- You deserve it.

- It's like Mr Clarkson said, we're a
team, we look out for each other.

- Says the fella who'd never even
played

a game of footie before today.

- And nearly saved every ball that St
Dominic's got on target.

- It's a hidden talent.

- Thanks.

- Thanks? You don't think you're
getting off that easy, do you?

Three cheers for Kacey. Hip, hip...

- ALL: Hooray.

- Hip, hip.
- ALl: Hooray.

- Hip, hip.
- ALL: Hooray.

THEY APPLAUD

- I was just on my way out when they
nabbed me.

- It's a very heartening sight.

You've certainly galvanised them into
a team.

- That was always the plan.

- Look, the football association have
called me.

We are being stripped of the win.
- I'll let them know.

- No, leave it until tomorrow.

I think they deserve to feel like
winners for one night, don't you?

And then this time next week,

you can begin thinking about next
season.

- Well, I'm not sure I'll be here next
week, will I?

- Tom, rules are rules and they're
there for a reason,

but I think these kids would be a lot
worse off without someone

who was willing to break them now and
then.

- Is that your way of saying, "I'll
see you in the morning"?

- Don't be late.

- You look like you've had a long day.

- Well, aren't they all?

This one seems to have sorted itself
out.

Even if we won't have our name on that
trophy.

- It would have been nice, but...

- It's not all about the winning, is
it?

Anyway, thanks for stopping in, but I
have a pupil meeting me

here any minute now.

- Then why did you ask to see me?

- I didn't.

- Well, I think you did. You left this
on my desk.

- That's not my handwriting.

- Which pupil are you expecting?

- Imogen.

- Imogen. Connor must have written
this with his left hand.

The little...

- So we've been had, is that what
you're saying?

- CREAKING

- Oh, the plot thickens.

A dinner reservation for two.

It's quite a nice Italian, as it
happens.

- So you think we should play along,
do you?

- Well, they do seem to have gone to
an awful lot of bother.

- It would be rude just to throw it
back in their faces.

- Yeah, and it has been a very long
day.

- I don't suppose there's any notes in
there to pay for dinner?

- No.

- Remind me to give my son a stern
talking-to when I get home.

- Sorry if I made everything worse.
Kissing you like that.

- You didn't. It just took me by
surprise, that's all.

- I just...

I like you and I was proud of you and
I thought...
- It was nice.

But I don't think... I don't think I'm
ready for that kind of thing.

- Kissing you mean?

- With anyone, for probably a while.

I just think I need to get used to be
being me first.

I don't think I could have handled any
of today if it wasn't for you.

- So...what now?

- No idea.

- Kace? I'll walk you home.

Mind my nails.

- See you around?

- Guaranteed.

- Do you think they've ordered yet?

What do you think they're going to
have to eat?

Lasagne and chips followed by a
candlelight kiss?

- I've not really thought about it.
Not sure I want to.

- Oh, sorry. I wasn't thinking.

Guess it would be pretty awkward
having Mr Byrne as your new dad.

- As long as he treats my mum better
than my real dad did.

- You've not really mentioned him
since he visited.

Do you want to talk?

- One, day but from now on I only want
this family to have

good things to look forward to.

- Well, I can think of one really
great thing coming up.

You think we'll ever be able to tell
our parents?

Have them be happy for us.

- Yeah, definitely.

- Promise?

- Me and you are going to live happily
ever after

and nothing's going to get in the way
of that.

Cross my heart.

- As long as we love each other
nothing can go wrong, can it?

- # Never knew love like this

# The wind, moon, the earth, the sky

# Sky so high

# Never knew pain like this

# Everything die, then die

# Never knew love like this

# The sun, the sea, you and I

# Never knew pain, never knew shame

# Now I know why

# Bury me, marry me to the sky

# Bury me, marry me to the sky... #

- What the hell?

- Oh, my God.

It's him. It's Barry.

- Out!
- Get off me!

- Out, get out. Don't even think about
messing me about.

- Is this you? Heels? A skirt? Time to
get the old Kacey back.

- Hiya, love.

- Mum, what are you doing here?

- I want to be a proper mum.

Give me another chance.
