A NETFLIX SERIES

-Good morning. -Morning.

Good morning.

Here we go. When they act like this, they're still mad.

-Still mad? -What do you think?

I was so worried, I couldn't sleep.

Listen, when it comes to your shenanigans,

I don't want to repeat myself, but--

But you want to make sure I understand I did something wrong.

Dad, Mom, believe me, I understand.

I really hope so.

You know what?

It was worth it.

It was an incredible adventure.

And I made up with Mirko.

At least we're friends now.

Dani, Nico Guariglia arrives this afternoon.

Yes, Dad.

-You do remember? -Sure.

How could I forget?

Babysitting his friend's son.

That's all I needed.

- 8 WEEKS TILL THE END OF SCHOOL

MONDAY

You know when people say, "If anything can go wrong, it sure will"?

I expect that from everything today.

Be strong, Daniele.

ISA: MONICA ISN'T REPLYING.

I'M GOING MAD! WHAT DO I DO?

I have to help Monica and Isa make up or they'll drive me mad.

Dani, look. She keeps sending me messages saying sorry.

Do you think that's normal?

-Yeah, but Monica-- -But nothing!

A text won't just fix everything.

It's weird that she keeps telling me about that Lamberto dude,

the one she kissed at the party, the party where she betrayed me!

"Betrayed you"?

Yeah, she was my best friend.

Was.

Okay, Monica. Isabel screwed up. Wanna ruin everything over a mistake?

Let's go.

There she is, with her new best friend.

This isn't gonna be easy.

Have you ever fished with maggots?

Sure. Why?

Then you know they have this habit of going around

and squirming all over the place?

So?

So they're perfect for invading and colonizing the Marina Grande school.

When you think you've heard it all, Giulio comes along with one of his ideas.

"Colonizing"?

Millions of maggots,

which will become millions of flies.

Where are you gonna get all these maggots and flies?

-Homemade. -"Homemade."

I've started breeding them in the field behind grandpa's veg patch.

Maggots? Did I hear that right? You still fish with maggots?

They're the best bait.

Well, it depends on what for.

Have you ever tried with red worms? Or with Korean worms?

Don't tell me they gross you out.

No, it's just that I really need maggots for this.

For "this" what? What do you need them for?

Yeah, what?

Sea bass.

Sea bass with maggots?

-Yeah. -Tell you what, I'll challenge you.

-Yeah. -You use maggots.

I'll use Korean worms. This afternoon at the pier. You in?

-Oh, I have to study. -He has to study.

Shame, because I was…

-No, I really have to study today. -All right.

You two are idiots!

Sea bass? Really?

What could I say?

You've told him now anyway.

Any maggots or flies in Marina Grande, you'll get the blame.

-Paolo isn't a snitch. -I don't trust grown-ups.

Paolo's different. He's one of us. He just doesn't know it yet.

-It's not like it was a great idea. -Exactly.

What?

I mean, how long could a disinfection take? Two days? Then what?

Because you haven't thought about the posts online and the viral videos

"Worms among the desks."

The school's reputation will sink so low

that they'll transfer everyone here to Marina Piccola.

-Sure. -Got a better idea?

-A petition? -A petition? Really?

Think about it. All the students would be on our side.

So would the teachers and janitors. They'll have to listen.

-Can you sort that out, Dani? -Sure.

All right, well, I won't throw the maggots away.

Look, they'll be the final blow.

Yeah, sure.

Now an army of maggots is gonna stop the school from closing.

GAILEO GALILEI MIDDLE SCHOOL

No, but really? Maggots?

You know Giulio's bright ideas.

No, but I do like the idea of a petition.

I think it's our last hope. So you'll sign?

Of course.

Hang on.

NICO - DAD'S FRIEND'S SON SEE YOU TOMORROW THEN?

No. Nico's already texted me?

-Who's that? -My parents' friends' son.

He's here to see his dad. He moved here after the divorce.

He doesn't know anyone so I gotta hang with him.

Is he nice?

No idea. I met him twice five years ago.

I'm meeting him tomorrow.

-All right. Bye, Isa. -Bye.

TUESDAY

Guys, the petition is a mess. Nobody wants to sign it.

Livia's scared of messing up again after the school trip.

Monica's already happy she won't be in Isabel's class, so…

-It's not going the way I hoped. -No way the kids in 3D would sign.

Nothing's changing for them.

They'll be in Marina Grande next year anyway.

-True. -All right.

I told you.

I'll go check on my maggots this afternoon.

Still on about the maggots, Giulio?

Guys, can you go? I need to talk to Daniele.

So now your best friend won't talk to you, you're bothering Dani?

-You know you're a moron? -Calm down, nerd.

Why don't you go and study history? Or would you rather look bad, like usual?

-Why don't you two go? -You know what? Let's go.

Sorry.

What's up?

I went out with my cousin yesterday. We took tons of pics. Look.

That's why you pulled me aside?

I did it to show you I don't need Isabel.

Gosh, she's really upset.

-That's your cousin? -Yeah.

-Some "Jcap" guy commented. -Let me see.

He says, "Lovely photo, lovely girls."

-Who is this Jcap, Moni? -I don't know.

Hang on, he sent me a DM.

"You look nice. I'd like to meet you."

Oh, Moni, you're a hit!

-I need to find out who he is. -Yeah.

But don't tell Livia or Isabel, okay?

-All right. -Thanks, Dani.

I really don't get girls.

Anyway, thank you so much, Jcap.

I've already had my fill of problems for the day.

If I have to play babysitter,

let's at least hope this Nico is tolerable.

So, that's the lighthouse.

Behind that, the port, where the ferries arrive.

-I think that's where I came in. -I think so.

Did I tell you my class formed this basketball team

to play against class 3D?

They're such jerks, you have no idea.

I play basketball too. I'm not very good.

But last time, I shot an incredible three-pointer.

Oh, he plays basketball too? Not bad, Nico!

I'd like to play with you sometime.

That'd be great.

Hey, given it's early, how about a bike ride around the island?

I can show you how beautiful it is.

-Sure. Why not? -Okay.

-Beautiful. -Right?

Good thing I'm with you. I'd have been so bored here alone.

I should've gone around the island with my dad.

But he's always working.

I miss my dog Dane so much.

"Dane"? A Great Dane? I like Great Danes.

-No, it's a dachshund. -Why'd you call a dachshund Dane?

-No, but why? -Is Dane such a horrible name?

No, but Dane, a Great Dane.

I dunno, a dachshund… Dach.

-Well, I like Dach. -Dach is a nice name.

I'll call my next dog Dach.

How weird. I haven't thought about Mirko at all today.

What can I say? This afternoon with Nico hasn't been half bad.

Actually, it was great.

I wish this day would never end.

WEDNESDAY

-Hey. -Hi, Dani.

In a good mood, huh? Why are you so happy?

All right, I'll tell you.

Remember how yesterday I had to spend the afternoon with Nico?

It was amazing.

He just gets me. He's not touchy. He doesn't make stupid jokes.

He's really cool.

I get it. Bye-bye, Mirko!

-And welcome, Nico. -Quit it.

It's obvious you like him.

Maybe a little.

"A little"? I like him so much!

But he leaves on Friday.

That sucks.

I have to go. Monica's waiting for me.

Speaking of Monica, she's still not talking to me.

Think she'll get over it?

Of course she will, Isa. Just give her some time.

-Bye, girls. -Bye.

"Something sweet for the sweetest."

-Hi, Moni. -Hey.

Hang on. Look.

"Something sweet for the sweetest." From Jcap?

-Yeah. -How romantic!

So did you find out who he is?

No, but I know he's from this school.

You know what?

I'm gonna send him a message and ask him to meet up.

Hi, Dani. I can't hang with you today.

My dad's finally taken a half day, we're gonna hang out together.

But I'll see you at the snack bar tomorrow so I can meet your friends.

Well? What's with that face?

Do you ever want to skip a day and go straight to the next?

THURSDAY

I'm ready. Or am I?

No.

This t-shirt is too sad.

This one, no. It's too stripey.

This makes me look too preppy.

Okay, this one, yes.

This one's perfect.

Why are you so happy today?

Are you talking to me?

All right, I'm happy because I feel light.

As light as a feather.

Do you ever feel like all your problems just go away in a flash?

I do.

And it's a great feeling.

-Moni, you look so pretty today. -Yeah?

-Sure, you look beautiful. -Thanks.

Something tells me you're dressed like that to meet Jcap.

Yes, we're meeting at recess, by the window on the stairs.

MONICA: HE'S NOT HERE YET. SO NERVOUS!

DANIELE: YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT. HE'LL BE THERE!

JCAP

Hi, Monica.

I am the ghost of Jcap.

Because only a ghost could fancy a nerd like you.

And you know,

ghosts

don't exist!

I don't know what to do with Nico.

I don't know. Maybe you could go to the movies.

Or to the beach.

I'll have fun with Nico whatever we do.

-You're so cute! -Cut it out.

Never. I'll never stop.

-What's wrong with her? -Monica?

-Monica. -Moni.

-What's happened? -She was supposed to meet a boy.

I'll talk to her.

Monica.

Monica. What happened?

-Monica? -Go away.

Monica, please.

-I'm your best friend. -No, you were.

You know how much I wanted to have my first kiss.

And then,

when it happened

at that stupid party,

it wasn't like I'd imagined.

I mean, I didn't really feel happy.

You know, at first,

I thought it was because it was that guy,

but then I realized that wasn't why.

I wasn't happy 'cause I couldn't run to you and tell you.

You are my best friend.

And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry too.

-I'm glad we're friends again. -Me too.

Hi, girls. Nice to see you together!

-Hi. -Hi.

-This is Nico. -Hi.

-Nice to meet you. -Finally.

Thanks a bunch, Isa.

Now Nico will know I told you about him!

-Livia? -She's coming. She was training.

Anyway, I called you to talk about Giulio.

Yeah, Dani told me.

What a horrible prank to pull on you.

He only does it because he thinks it's funny.

He doesn't realize it hurts people.

-I don't think Giulio is mean. -He's stupid.

-Maybe he doesn't realize he hurts people. -Exactly.

He does it because I'm top of the class and he's bottom.

Guys, we can come up with all the excuses in the world,

but what he did was awful.

We have to do something.

This is like that beauty contest prank. Actually, it's even worse.

Wait for it.

I have an idea.

Let's get revenge.

There we go.

FRIDAY

Good. Great. Not only do they involve me in the prank, I have the main role!

Here we go.

-Giulio. -Hi, Dani.

-You've studied for history, right? -Yeah, but I've forgotten it all.

-Hi, Dani. -Hi.

Hi, Isa.

Well, you do know the teacher won't give you another chance, right?

What can I do?

Have you ever tried the sleep method? I saw it on TV.

What is it?

Listen. Basically, you put on some headphones and go to sleep.

When you wake up, you'll remember what you heard.

What does that have to do with the test?

What do you mean?

Look the notes up online and use one of those apps to read it out loud.

Skip second period, you always do anyway, and go take a nap in an empty classroom.

Listen while you sleep and memorize it.

-Yeah, but it seems like nonsense. -Nonsense how?

Try it. I mean, at worst, you'll have had an hour's sleep. It's not like…

Well, sleeping does come easily to me anyway.

Exactly.

-Thanks, Dani. -No worries.

-Keep me posted. -Sure.

Okay, the fish took the bait, even without the maggots.

Giulio was hooked thanks to his laziness.

What if I wake him?

Go on.

What do you think?

Oh gosh. Giulio's gonna kill us when he wakes up.

Okay, let's see who I can test.

I'd say…

Sorry I'm late, Miss.

-Paccagnini, what happened to you? -I was in the bathroom. Sorry, my fault.

No, what have you done to your face?

CLOWN

-What? -You're always clowning around.

-Maggi, put that phone away. -Sorry, Miss.

Miss, it wasn't me. I don't know who did it, but I didn't.

I don't care who did it.

I care about your grades.

You have a failing grade to make up for.

-Come here. -What?

-Like this? -Like that.

Well?

-I haven't studied, Miss. -What am I supposed to do with you?

All right, look, I want to be nice today.

I'll test you next week.

But on the condition you revise everything with Monica.

-With Monica? -Why me? No, Miss!

-Teamwork. -But not Paccagnini. Please, Miss!

Monica, you're top in history.

You can help Paccagnini review for his test.

Do I really have to be with her?

-Can't I review with Pietro? -No.

-Only with Monica? -That's enough, Paccagnini!

-Someone else-- -Please.

Now go and wash your face.

Plot twist!

Giulio just left without saying a word. I don't get it.

-I'm worried he's mad at me. -It's normal to feel that way.

You care about your friends. It's really nice.

Besides, it's not like it's a big deal. You're a really nice class.

You'd understand if you saw mine!

So move here. Join our class.

I wish! Haven't they said they're splitting you all up?

-Yeah. -But let's stay in touch, huh?

I want to hear about everything.

I'm invested in your class's adventures now.

Will one installment a week do?

And then, as soon as school's over, I'll come back to see my dad.

Wanna walk me to the ferry?

Sure.

So, did you like Marina Piccola?

It's beautiful.

-It got so windy. -Gosh.

-Does this happen often? -Not usually, no.

-Do you know anything about wind? -Not really.

Of course, you're a city boy.

Actually, I think that… Yeah, I think this is the mistral.

Anyway, I can walk on my own from here. No worries.

Then I shall bid you adieu and wish you a safe trip.

-See you. -Speak to you too.

I'll miss you loads.

I'll miss you too.

I don't know what to do.

I don't want him to leave like this.
