A NETFLIX SERIES

And here I am.

Enjoying my island, the wind on my face, and the smell of freedom all around me.

That's what I used to think, every morning on my way to school.

But now, all I can think about is... Livia.

Stop it!

At first, I thought it was just a bet.

But instead, she became my first crush.

The first girl I ever tried to get.

Who made me feel like I wasn't alone.

What?

Unfortunately, she put me in the friend zone.

Livia, I really like you.

- Yeah, but we're friends, Pietro. - And now she only wants me as a friend.

But I'm no quitter, you know that.

Now, it's not about the bet.

2 WEEKS TILL THE END OF SCHOOL

MONDAY

Why am I so nervous?

He's my dad, I've known him all my life.

But...

- Hi, Dad. - Hey, there.

- Uh, I was passing by and I thought... - Oh, please, yeah, come in.

Glad you came over.

Figured I'd drop by, see how you're settled in.

Well... here it is.

So, how was the first week of being... on a break?

Little weird, you know?

Sure, I don't have the space I had before, obviously, though it's still nice.

How's it been at home, just you and Mom?

Uh, well, we did all right.

I don't really like this house, you know?

Yeah, me neither.

I've been thinking of looking for a new place.

I saw one in Marina Grande.

It's not so bad that you're moving to the new school,

'cause I'd be living there.

You, in Marina Grande? Next year?

You both said not to worry, that this was temporary.

So it's just over?

- I'm sorry. - You're so full of it.

Pietro, where are you going? Wait.

Pietro, come on! Let's talk about it.

Pietro...

My parents are separating. It's official.

I wanted to scream and break stuff. But what for?

Everything around me is already broken or crumbling into pieces.

My family, my class, my school.

And there's nothing I can do.

I've had enough. I won't take any more.

Time to take control again.

- Hi! - Hey.

Oh, hey. I was just listening to your song.

- Do you like it? - Yeah, it's bomb.

And it might help us if you...

Never mind, just forget it.

- Now who's hiding things? - Hi.

Hi, Livia. Pietro's here, come on.

It's actually his idea, so... Pietro...

- What's up? - Tell him.

Tell him what?

- What do you mean, what? The song. - No. You do it.

Spit it out!

We were thinking you could write something for the last game against 3D.

To get the team in the zone.

- Definitely. The team would love it. - You think?

Yes. And plus, I'll be cheering for you at the game.

Well, finally!

Okay, then we'll win for sure.

Okay, guys, I'm in.

I'm gonna write the team a new anthem.

So...

Let's quiz someone.

Let's see...

Who should I choose?

- Uh, Miss? - Yes?

Uh, would it be all right if I went next?

- Uh, I've already quizzed you. - I know, I just wanted to raise my grade.

Miss, you can't flip her wings.

- All right, then. Come here. - Thanks, Miss.

That's our Monica. A team player.

But I'd also like to call...

Paccagnini.

No. Really?

Yeah. I can't flip your wings, can I?

Paccagnini, it's "clip."

Come on. Let's fly.

All right, all right.

- To clip. - To clip.

Come on.

I'm trying... but it's hard not to think about my parents.

Being 13 sucks.

At school, they treat us as boxes, moved from Marina Grande to Marina Piccola.

And now, I'm moving between my parents as well.

I'll stay two days with one, and then two days with the other.

I'll pretend everything's okay.

I don't want to talk about it.

Nobody gets me, anyway.

Well... maybe someone does?

Pietro, hey. Is somethin' wrong?

No, I...

My father, he moved out a little while ago.

And, um, today I went over there to visit.

But we had a fight.

What happened?

Um...

He made me realize that him and my mom aren't getting back together.

I know this must be very difficult, but...

Well, I think he's trying to be honest with you.

You see, your father told you the truth

because he wanted to treat you like an adult.

He didn't wanna baby you, and say everything'll be okay, when... it won't.

Was, uh... was that what you did with your son?

Me?

To be honest, I had no idea what to do.

I stopped seeing my son overnight.

Your father was lucky, you know.

I would rather have seen my son leave angry, like you did.

Um, have you tried to call?

- No, no, I... I told you I don't... - Call him!

I don't want him to see how I'm living.

I'm sure he wouldn't even care.

How come?

'Cause you are his father. You're family.

What if we fight like you and your father did?

Then it'll be for treating him as an adult.

All right.

I'll give it a shot.

Just because you asked.

It's gonna be all right.

TUESDAY

MARINA PICCOLA SPORTS CENTER

I'm Pietro, the one everybody counts on.

The one who never asks for help.

Score!

I don't wanna think about anything else.

Score! 2D has to kill it in the final game and end it as winners.

Even though I'm really hurting inside.

One on one?

What do you want?

Man, I just figured I'd come practice with you, since you're alone...

Or are you scared?

Okay.

Are you even trying?

You should give up.

Get some rest, so I can beat you on the court on Friday too.

He did it on purpose.

That bastard.

I should have expected his dirty tricks.

I'm such an idiot.

WEDNESDAY

For this final game, let's go with the triangle offense.

Let me remind you that the team that used it

won the championship three years straight.

Whoa.

- Oh. - Pietro, what...

- What happened? - What happened to your leg?

- What did you do? - Are you okay?

I'm fine. It's cool. I got hit playing one-on-one with Matteo.

- What? - I'll be okay, guys. I mean, it'll heal.

- I just have to take it easy. - But can you recover by Friday?

I doubt it.

What? We have to play, we can't just quit.

Of course we're still playing. We're not letting them win like this.

So? Shall we let Silverio play?

- No. - No way.

Well, guys, I mean, we're not just gonna quit like that.

Either we let Silverio play, or we play with four.

But Isa's like two players. So we're doing it.

All right. Cool. A real team never gives up.

Okay, we'll keep on practicing even harder.

But we can also get revenge on Matteo?

Please!

- Come on! - No, Giulio.

No worries. bro. We'll beat 'em Friday.

Maybe a couple of dozen worms in his backpack?

- No! - No.

Superglue on his desk?

- Man, no. - Why not?

Not even some toothpaste in his shoes? A toy snake in his locker?

Man!

If your mom can't come to get you, I can try calling my uncle.

Maybe he can give you a ride.

Oh, no big deal. She's just late.

Hnm. Sure is some bad luck.

Two days before the game, and during practice, too.

Yeah. Lucky me!

I'll let her believe that.

Livia still can't see the real Matteo.

It's not bad. Accidents happen.

If you're there to cheer for us, we're already winners.

Or I could play the game in your place.

Of course, how about...

you ride your bike, and after you get to half-court,

then swim among our opponents...

And you run to the basket, and score.

Or maybe, um... we could ask Daniele to call someone,

like a famous basketball player.

Like he did with Tancredi.

Yeah, sure, let's call one.

That's brilliant. Someone famous for us.

- Of course. - Hmm? Wait, what?

Brilliant idea! You're a genius.

Super genius.

What did I do?

I'll explain later.

Hey, why so depressed?

What kind of team is this? And, Giulio, what's with your face?

It's my face today.

Come on. Let's play two-on-two.

- Let's do it. - Hang on.

Guys, here's my replacement.

I thought you weren't playing against your brother?

- But now it's fine if you help us? - Totally, bro.

I'm done with those guys.

That's great news. Now we can really beat Matteo and 3D.

Then let's practice. I mean, you.

Um, of course. I can't do it.

Yes, coach!

Mirko, go for it.

THURSDAY

"My favorite moment from 7th grade."

"My favorite moment was when I realized I had amazing classmates."

"I thought I knew everything about friendship,

but lately I discovered that I barely knew about it."

"I thought being friends meant having the same taste and interests,

and I thought I knew everything about my classmates,

because we were together both in kindergarten and elementary school."

"That's all I thought I needed to know about them."

"I always thought that Giulio was just an annoying clown..."

"Livia, a boring girl."

"Isabel and Monica, both unlikable."

"Pietro, well..."

"...the coolest guy in class."

"And Mirko and Daniele, I didn't even know they existed."

"In conclusion, I thought I knew them,

and they were very different from me."

"But I have learned that true friendship can also exist

between people who are very different from each other."

"A real friend is someone you can trust, somebody who's there for you,

even in the most difficult times."

"Lately, I found out in my class, I actually have many true friends."

"Now we share a bond that is way stronger than just being similar to each other."

"And even though our class is splitting up,

I'm sure that we'll be friends forever."

Hey, did you hear her?

Yes, I did. Isn't she just great?

A beautiful essay.

That was amazing!

Yeah, Arianna!

Arianna is right.

The bond I have with my friends is stronger than anything else.

It's the one thing in my life that didn't break into pieces.

And if I need to vent about my parents, Livia, the principal, or other drama,

they'll always be there for me, like I'll always be there for them.

Why is no one saying anything?

Are you that worried about playing 3D?

It's not only about winning. It's also about the reason to win.

Yeah, I really wanna beat them.

And you've got me, the most outstanding in class.

Out standing in the hall, you mean?

And besides, guys, it's okay to lose too.

Because, remember, as the great Michael Jordan once said,

"I have failed many times in this life, but I always won in the end."

Michele's right. We can do this.

Yeah. We can beat them!

Well done, Michele. Great quote.

See? That's what friends are for.

FRIDAY

In a way, each on our own,

we were all a bit broken.

Giulio, Daniele, Isabel, Monica, Mirko, and Livia and I as well.

But look at us. Now, we're one.

Do the guys from 3D really think they can beat us?

No way.

And even though I'm not playing, I'll be the loudest of all from the bench.

Go, guys! Whoo!

- Let's go, 2D! Let's go, 2D! - Well...

- Let's go, 2D! Let's go, 2D! - ...after Silverio.

Let's go, 2D! Let's go, 2D!

Let's go, 2D! Let's go, 2D!

Let's go, 2D! Let's go, 2D!

It's the final. It's time to really show who we are.

We're class 2D.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON THE FINAL

And always will be.

Okay, guys. Are you ready?

Let's get it started.

- Let's go, guys! - Yeah, come on!

- Yes! - Yeah!

3D - THE BEST

- Come on! - Let's go!

- Oh, yeah! - Good shot!

2D!

No, no, no, no, no!

Go on, line up on the floor, guys! Yeah!

Aww!

- Aw, come on. - Come on.

- Come on! Pass, pass! - Let's go!

- Come on! - Yes!

Tip the ball!

Yes!

That's my girl! Go, Isa!

At our first game, I thought she'd never be cheering for us.

The guys from 3D are fighting back hard, for sure.

Yes!

It's too close to call it. We score one, and they score the next.

That's right! Pick him out! Pick him out, Giulio!

Come on, come on!

Yeah, what?

Yes!

Mark Matteo!

Oh, come on!

Let's take a timeout.

This is our game, and it's time to win it.

As a team, come on.

One, two, three...

Hey, 2D, go win!

Let's get back at it!

2D VS 3D SECOND HALF - THE FINAL

Okay. Second half starts now.

Go, Isa!

2D VS 3D 21 - 31

Dang it!

We got distracted for a second and they immediately scored a few points.

If 3D keeps going like this, we'll never catch up.

Hey, guys, here's somethin' for you!

Mirko!

Yeah!

Yes!

Yes!

Nice assist, Silverio. That's Mirko's song!

- You got it! - Go!

Yes!

All right! Yeah, Giulio, you got this!

Go, Isa!

Yes!

Yeah!

The game is tied!

Giulio!

Sh.

You better be cool. That was your fault.

Now he took out Michele?

Guys, hold on.

- Hold on. - Mm?

He just can never play fair. He should be ashamed of himself.

What happened, Michele?

- What happened? - A foul?

I... I tripped and hurt myself.

Wait, ref!

- What's happening? - Whoa!

What's he doing?

I'm done for sure!

Okay, then, let's get him off the court. Careful, though.

If he's coming out, then I'm going in.

- What, for real? - Are you sure you can play?

Let's see. I have to try.

- All right. - Okay!

Come on, let's continue, guys.

Will we win?

I have no idea.

But, you know... what matters is giving it my all.

Go, Pietro!

There's a few seconds left in the game.

Enough for one last shot.

Just one.

Either we win, or we'll be remembered as the biggest losers on the island.

Please! Oh, please!

Yes!

2D WINS

Let's go, 2D! Let's go, 2D!!

Let's go, 2D! Let's go, 2D!

Let's go, 2D! Let's go, 2D!

Let's go, 2D! Let's go, 2D!

Wait.

Is your mom coming to get you?

No, I never called.

But I can make it home.

Or I'll go to Pac's house.

Maybe if he wasn't still celebrating with the rest of 2D.

Well, he does deserve it.

I'm not that far from home.

And... yeah. I should give you space.

Hmm?

Because for you, I'm just a friend.

But for me, it's not like that.

Oh, well. I'll get over it.

Come on, let's go.

- That''s not what friends should do. - I know, but...

What?

How about that?

Life keeps getting better!

Now, together, we have to save our school.
