If you want to fly high, be confident.
Seize your opportunity.
Leave no one behind!
Leave no one behind!
I'll be waiting for you here. I won't leave.
Oh, my God! The house is huge!
Yeah!
Tomorrow is the first day of school.
Pack your bags!
- Roger that! - Oh, my God. The composition is so bad.
Do you know who my mother is?
Penny is Miss Panida's daughter.
The daughter of the principal?
Yep. Do you understand now?
Welcome everyone to the new academic year.
As you all know, every year, we offer scholarships.
In your class...
- What's wrong? - There are four new students.
I think I'm getting welcomed.
This year is more special than ever.
We have a new teacher too.
Please come in, Mr. Paul.
Mr. Paul is an alumnus who graduated from America.
He has two bachelor degrees,
in English and mass communication.
Mr. Paul will be here for two years to guide us,
and then he will pursue further studies.
Please, Mr. Paul.
Nice to meet you all.
Coming back here as a teacher is my pride.
If you need help with your studies or anything else,
please feel free to talk to me.
Well,
now I would like to ask our new students to introduce themselves
to all of us.
Hi. My name is Tawan. I'm 16 years old.
Thank you for accepting me to this school.
My goal is to get a scholarship
in order to study at one of the top ten universities
in the US.
Really?
Which one then?
So do you know MIT, Princeton, or Yale University?
I'll talk to you in Thai then,
so that you guys understand.
My definite goal is to get into Harvard.
My dad went to school there.
Where you study is none of my business,
but I'm the one you need to beat,
because I'll apply for the merit scholarship just like you.
You're the daughter of Miss Panida, the principal.
Why would you apply and steal other students' opportunities?
I agree with her.
It's unfair for you to do this, Penny.
What's wrong with being the daughter of the principal?
There's nothing wrong with being her daughter.
I'm just wondering how the scholarship can be awarded fairly, Teacher,
when her daughter is in the race too.
If you want it too, just say it. You're being a sore loser.
It's true this school is my family's business,
but the rules didn't say
that only the poor
can apply for this.
Guys, that's enough.
Penny, sit down.
What's wrong with you?
You stopped me from picking a fight with her, but you did it yourself.
I've had enough, okay? It's time to stand up for myself.
Penny.
I'm on your side, Tawan.
Penny deserves it.
Everyone, listen carefully.
The purpose of the scholarship
is to motivate all of you to work hard,
not to fight among yourselves.
As for the scholarship itself,
it's open to everyone,
no matter who they are.
Though only one will be awarded.
The school's selection
will be based on your competence.
I can guarantee you that.
All of you will be evaluated both in class
and in your activities.
We have clubs for you to choose as you like.
I hope that three years from now,
all of you will graduate with elegance.
Na, Shin.
I'll win this scholarship.
What do you want?
You can win the scholarship in your dreams.
You can't stop anyone's dreams though.
Whoa! What a soap opera line.
You think a marginalized girl like you
can make your dream come true.
I'm not only thinking about it. I'm doing it.
Are you scared of me? Is that why you're threatening me?
Let me tell you that I'm not afraid.
Keep up your bravery.
I'll make sure you don't win this thing,
and I'll make you drop out too.
Let's see how long you can last.
If you do everything as I say, I'll give the scholarship to you.
I'd like to receive a scholarship from you.
If you want to fly high,
be confident.
Seize your opportunity.
- Hey! - Whoa!
Tawan, what's wrong?
I feel a bit sick.
Let's go to the infirmary then. I'll go with you.
It's okay. I'll just rest here for a while.
- Okay. - Okay.
Today, you're undergoing a performance test.
So you know your level.
All right, let's begin.
- Penny. - Yeah?
Tawan won't swim.
- Why? - I don't know.
Running is the test for the boys. What about the girls?
Swimming.
Tawan!
Hey, where are you two going?
Why didn't you change?
Where is the teacher?
Why didn't you say you don't have a swimsuit?
I'll be happy to donate one of my old ones.
I do have one, but today I'm not ready.
I am on my period.
Don't make excuses.
You don't want to take the test, so you say you have a period.
I'm not lying. It's not an excuse. I really have a period.
Tawan!
Tawan!
There's no one here.
What about this way?
Now I know that all you're good at is tricks.
You're scared to l ose to me at swimming
and fail to win the scholarship, aren't you?
Is that right?
So that's it? That's unacceptable.
Scholarship students are a handful. I don't even know if she has a period.
I'm not lying. I am on my period.
That's why I don't want to swim.
A period? Let's prove it then.
Is there any other pool? Another swimming pool?
What are you doing?
Whether or not you have a period,
you have to jump in there!
Tawan!
It's not your business! Get out!
How could you push her in there?
This school is not for liars!
- Tawan! - What's going on?
- Teacher! - Tawan is drowning!
Tawan!
- Tawan! - Tawan, are you okay?
- Tawan! - Are you all right, Tawan?
Tawan can't swim, Teacher.
Oops!
Take her to the infirmary.
Tawan.
Tawan!
- Tawan... - Whoa!
Tawan, are you feeling better?
After this semester,
you have to learn to swim.
- Yeah, I'm okay. I'm fine. - You're okay?
- I'm done. - Whoa! You spooked me!
Tawan, come on.
You have to promise me to stop being scared of water and learn to swim.
Who made me scared of water in the first place?
Sorry. I was 11. All I could do was run.
- Eleven is old enough. - What?
- Why didn't you help her? - I was a kid.
- That's all I could... - Okay, okay!
I'll learn to swim.
I just need some time,
but I promise I'll do it.
Promise.
Promise.
It's turned red.
Rich people are really rich.
They got big vans and a personal driver.
Shin.
Why the long face?
I'm not okay with that girl bullying you.
It's not that bad.
Tawan, next time,
you have to tell the teacher the truth
about being bullied.
Don't worry about it.
Come on. Let's go home.
I want to talk to Grandma.
Let's go! Come on, Na!
Come on.
- Grandma. Can you hear me? - I hear you.
Grandma, I miss you so much!
Let me see all three of you.
Come on, talk to Grandma!
- Grandma, good afternoon! - Grandma? You called her?
- Grandma, good afternoon! - Grandma!
- How are you doing? - Good afternoon!
- They're here, Grandma. - Can you see us?
You all are energetic!
Grandma, hello!
Is there something fun to tell me?
There is!
Yeah, I got something too. Let me get my snack.
Yeah, wait a second, Grandma.
Listen to me first, then.
The other day, I went to Miss Panida's house. Her house is huge!
It's like a palace and
Miss Panida was kind enough to let me go to school with her daughter.
Her name is Penny.
All my friends are rich kids,
but I think Penny's family is the richest.
I've never had rich friends.
Tell me what it's like.
Rich kids, Grandma,
they got big cars and personal drivers. They're so comfy!
That's right. They have maids. They barely have to do anything.
- Their lives are easy, right? - Yeah.
Those rich kids are egomaniacs. They don't care about others.
They think they're gods reincarnated.
You three listen to me.
Right now,
you don't have money.
The most important thing that you all have to do is study.
In the future, you will have time to make a lot of money.
Believe me.
Yes, Grandma. I believe you.
Good girl.
- Mana, Shin. - Yes?
Be good to each other
and take care of Tawan for me.
Grandma, you don't have to worry about that!
Don't worry about this, Grandma!
- We'll take good care of Tawan. - No one will lay a hand on her.
Grandma, can you see me?
I'm out of frame!
- Shin, Na! - I want Grandma to see me!
We both will take great care of her!
It's nothing, Grandma.
- Grandma! - What's wrong with you?
I'll wait and see.
Where did Tawan go? Oh!
This one gets a heart.
Hooray.
Tawan.
Give me your bag. Eat your breakfast.
- Sit down. I made sandwich and... - Thanks.
What's this one?
Mana Salon, you're done.
Don't touch. Your hair will get sauce.
How did you eat?
Do I look good now?
Neat as always.
If you open up your bangs, you'll look cute.
- Right? - Really?
- Should I put it all the way up? - Make it like...
All the way up or what?
What if...
Shin, I made sandwich and pancakes. Want something else?
No, thanks.
Hey, you dyed your hair!
Why didn't you tell me? I want that too. You look great.
- You look cool. - Yeah, you're handsome.
Actually, I...
I have to go now. I got to go.
- See you at school. - Great meal.
I'm off.
Na.
I don't want Tawan to go with that girl.
Why didn't you just tell her?
She said she'd handle this herself.
See? What can we do then?
Pull over.
Open the door.
Get off.
I won't.
I'm riding this van to school with you,
- Hey! - unless you want me
to tell Miss Panida about the pool.
- Are you threatening me? - I'm not threatening you.
If you don't believe me, try me.
Close the door, and put the cover up.
Tell me what you want.
I know you're the head of the cheerleader club.
You know a lot for someone who just got here.
Tell me your deal. What do you want?
You will accept me into the cheerleader club.
What kind of deal is this?
You have everything to gain, but I get nothing.
If you accept me into the club,
what you get are, first,
you don't have to pick me up.
I'll make an excuse to Miss Panida. Second,
I won't tell Miss Panida
about what happened at the pool.
Third,
Miss Panida wants us to be best friends,
even if it's fake.
I think if we're friends,
it would be good for us both.
It's better than being enemies.
I think this is a win-win situation.
Open the door.
Get off.
Get off now!
Tawan!
Pull over.
Back up.
I accept.
Go sit in the back.
This seat's not taken.
What? Penny accepted you into the cheerleader club?
Don't waste your time.
Why not?
She is deliberately playing you.
Can't you tell?
I can tell,
but I have my own reasons.
Shin.
I've learned that our existence in this school
means being accepted.
If I can make it, you and Mana,
- will be accepted too. - I don't want their acceptance.
Those people only care about themselves.
All I need is you and Mana.
I don't need anyone else.
- Shin. - Tawan.
I don't understand.
- Why did Shin have to get upset? - Let him go. He'll calm down.
I agree with you, though.
I believe my mentor, Tawan, can make it.
Your mentee confirms.
Thanks.
Welcome to the cheerleader club.
I promise you won't be disappointed
being in my club.
I'm happy you remember our deal.
You have to follow my rules of training.
I can do anything.
Penny, we're not okay with this.
Don't be rude to our new friend.
Are you going to let her be a cheerleader?
Our image will be ruined.
Images can be made.
Having more friends
is better than having enemies, right?
Get me a drink.
Thanks.
Take this. It's for you.
Thank you.
Who said you could drink it?
If you want to be a cheerleader,
pour the iced cocoa on your head.
If you can't, leave.
- Film her. - I will.
Oh, my God!
- Did you really do that? Oh, my God! - Oh, my God!
Hey, one more cup.
She's soaking wet.
She looks like a drowning dog.
Is it cold?
Guys, give her an applause!
That's all for today.
I think you should change your mind
and get out of my club.
I care about you.
That's why I'm warning you.
Thanks for caring,
but I'm not someone who gives up easily.
Make sure you clean up your mess.
You're all wet.
It's okay.
It's okay, Tawan.
They stink. Yeah!
Hey, you two!
Go walk somewhere else.
- You stink. - What's wrong?
- Shin, don't. - You don't know what's wrong?
Leave, you stink!
- Shin! - What do you want?
- Hey, that's my phone! - Whoa!
Na!
It's Tawan.
Give my phone back.
- You jerk! Mana, let me go! - Shin, don't!
- Shin, don't get into a fight! - Na, let me go!
Tawan! We need to find Tawan, Shin!
Just go, Shin.
Go!
Suckers.
Shin, go upstairs!
- I'll check this way. - Okay.
Shin!
Tawan's there.
I need to know the truth.
What's the beef
with you two?
I didn't do anything? Aunt, why...
Teacher, why don't you believe me?
Do you want me to be the bad girl?
Don't be afraid.
Tell me if Penny bullied you.
Tawan.
I'll ask you one more time.
Does Penny bully you?
Penny
doesn't bully me.
We're both pulling pranks.
See, Teacher?
What's wrong with an orientation?
We both agree it's fun and games, see?
Since you both say that,
what else can I say?
Go back to your class.
Penny, let's get back to class.
Yeah.
Come on.
That's a new record!
At this rate, you will represent the school this year, Penny.
Really? Don't say that just to make me happy.
Of course, if you work hard in training
and record good times like this,
Miss Panida will be so proud of you.
You're good academically and the best athlete.
You're amazing.
Shin, wait.
Are you sure you want to do this?
I've had enough.
I said I wouldn't do it in front of Tawan. I never said I wouldn't do it.
Shin!
Shin! This is the girl's bathroom!
Shin!
How did you two come in? Leave!
Get your dirty hands off me!
What are you doing to me?
Let my friend go, you freak!
- What do you want? - Stop bullying Tawan.
Don't accuse me without proof.
What about the video
of Tawan pouring cocoa on her own head?
Is that not proof?
Hey, that's just the orientation.
Orientation?
- I'll give you an orientation then. - Shin!
- Shin. - Let me go!
- What are you doing? - Wait, let go!
You freak! You jerk!
What are you doing?
If you don't stop, I'll film this as proof!
Ah! Shin!
Good!
Go ahead.
If you want to film it, do it. Make sure you get all of it.
You think I won't do that?
Shin, the new phone's camera is superb.
You're dead! You trash!
All we are to you is trash?
Shin, do it.
Na, zoom in close.
I'm not done yet.
Shin...
You have no right to do this to me.
I'll tell everyone what you did to me.
You will be expelled. You trash!
Are you sure?
If someone sees this, trash like us has nothing to lose,
unlike you.
Na, start the camera.
Let everyone see clearly that a trash like me
is kissing a rich girl.
Make sure you never bully Tawan again.
Next time, it will be worse.
If you expel us with that video,
I think it's worth it.
If your elite friends see you kissing a trash,
no one will want to date you.
- Penny, are you okay? - And I suggest
you delete that video.
So there's no proof of you kissing a trash.
Shin, what have you done? Do you realize that?
Shut up.
Don't worry. If anything happens, you're home free.
I'm not worrying about myself.
If you get in trouble, I will too. I won't abandon you.
What I'm trying to say is that
you have to handle yourself better, be more calm, and be more aware.
This is not about you alone.
It will affect Tawan too, understand?
I'll be more careful.
What about you, Na?
How did you come up with that?
I've got to hand it to you. You twisted it and made Penny submit.
It's Penny who degrades herself.
Thanks.
If you weren't there, I'm getting expelled for sure.
Let's go and find Tawan.
She's getting worried.
Mom.
Don't you have work today?
Should we order some pizza, Mom?
Let's order pizza. I want to eat pizza.
Why did you just got home?
You still have an appetite?
Did Aunt tell you something?
No one told me anything.
The students are on Twitter, Penny.
How does that look?
The daughter of the principal
picks on the scholarship student.
I wanted you to be friends with Tawan.
So what is this?
Tawan wanted to be a cheerleader,
so I set up an orientation.
It was just for fun, yeah?
It's not funny, Penny.
Please be more deserving of being my daughter.
You seem to care a lot about these three scholarship students.
The scholarship students' brains
will bring good image to my school.
What are you trying to say?
Listen to me, Penny.
People with brains don't use their emotions.
Only fools
expose their true selves to the world.
Mom.
Have you ever seen the good side of your own child?
Listen to me, Penny.
You should be able to figure out
the reason I wanted you to be friends with Tawan.
Look at your friends.
All they do is cause trouble.
Have you ever asked me
what I go through in a day?
- I... - Stop!
I don't want to hear your excuses.
See? You never listen to me!
You never listen!
Na, go in and talk to Tawan.
Why me? You go and talk to her.
No. You should do it.
It's your idea too.
- You tell her. - She listens to you more.
No, she'll get mad at me.
- Hey! - Let's play rock, paper, scissors.
- What's the matter? - Whoa!
What's wrong?
Are you coming in?
Just come in.
- You spooked me. - Come on.
After you.
What is it? Tell me.
Tawan.
Can you pick another club instead?
Yeah.
It would be better if you stay away from Penny.
Why?
Well...
I told you.
I don't trust Penny.
You're overthinking it, Shin.
I know what she thinks of you.
We both care about you very much.
Thanks for caring about me,
but I think everything is going perfectly now.
I don't want to let a good opportunity slide.
Even if you get hurt taking this opportunity?
It's worth taking the risk.
Look.
When I was with Grandma,
I always think before I do anything.
"Would Grandma be okay with this?"
"Would Grandma like this?"
Now is my chance to be myself.
I want to do things that
I want to without caring about anything.
Na and Shin,
you understand, right?
You know what?
Just remember,
if anyone makes you sad,
I won't let it slide.
When you act cool and tough,
you look kind of cool.
Remember this,
I'm willing to give everything to protect you.
Thanks, Shin.
Go to bed already. Leave! Go to your room.
- Aren't you tired? - Yeah, I am. I'll just sleep here.
Me too. Let me sleep with you.
Hey, give me the blanket.
Hey, that's my side.
You can sleep here if you want.
Na.
You have to do my laundry.
Shin.
Clean the bathroom within this week.
Okay?
- Okay, ma'am! - Okay!
- Hey. - Yeah, that's right.
Come on. Right here.
- Right here, Boss. - Give me some space.
- Move. - It's your place, Boss.
All right, one, two, three.
- Oh! - Whoa!
So, who's going to turn the light off?
- Shin. - Go.
Hey, I'm inside. Na, you go.
Yeah, you go.
You can climb over that side.
Na, it's closest to you. You go.
You go, Shin.
Great job, Boss.
Na, would you please?
Ouch!
Shin, Na pulled a prank on me.
Yeah, yeah.
- Who farted? - Not me.
- Tawan. - Mine was before that.
- You did? - It was
- Take it in! - Whoa!
Tawan, why is it this bad?
- It stinks! - It's just a passing wind, isn't it?
Come on! Sleep!
Are you rotting inside or something?
You're exaggerating!
Remember this,
I'm willing to give everything to protect you.
Thanks, Shin.
Today's book is called "The Catcher in the Rye".
The Thai title is "Someone will Catch You when You Fall".
This book is about a teenager who has family issues.
Has anyone read this?
So nobody told you that during the break,
we sent you a list of books to read?
It's okay if you haven't read it,
but you will have to catch up to others.
- Yes. - I'll let you borrow mine.
Okay.
Let's get some opinions. What did you learn? How do you feel?
I think this book reflects the views of teenagers.
It reminds me of the American society.
Their adult world is all superficial and deceptive.
I think
for Holden Caulfield,
I like the way he said that growing up
is such a hardship.
He hates the society. He hates adults. If I were him,
I would exploit the adults because I think they're no smarter than us.
I was about to say that the character is an unconventional hero.
I agree that the world can only change with rebels like him,
but I think Holden can't change the world
because all he has is hatred and resentment.
He doesn't even have a solution for himself.
I think Holden represents the falling new generation.
He can't save anyone.
He can't even save himself.
I think Holden represents a kid who doesn't understand real life.
I see another side. The world in the book has somewhat of a bright light.
The writer presents his sister as extraordinary.
She doesn't fake her smiles.
She says what she feels.
She is pure and innocent.
But I think the author of this book
intends to criticize the adults harshly.
He tries to tell us
what kind of adults we shouldn't become.
I think we wouldn't have had to read this book
if the adults had been honest and hadn't lied or faked.
These guys aren't ordinary kids.
Especially Penny. It's true she's cruel.
She acts senseless but she has good opinions.
Smart but cruel like her is no good to me.
- Yeah, I'd rather be stupid. - Agreed.
Teacher.
You had us read this book
because adults are bad, aren't they?
Okay.
As the oldest one in this room,
I can't help but feel a little attacked.
I heard your opinions,
and I appreciate all of your opinions.
I remember reading this book at your age.
And this book
raised many questions in my mind.
So the homework I'm giving you today
is to analyze the character of Holden Caulfield.
In your real life,
do you know anyone like him?
Submit your essay on that before the end of semester.
We will discuss this after that.
Step two, jump shot.
New students this year are skillful,
but basketball is a team game.
Tomorrow will be another trial.
- Let's count! - Begin!
You're good, huh?
Want to do some practice?
No, we don't.
- No. - You're on.
I wanted a dueling partner.
Okay, free practice is a waste of time. Let's make it a 100 baht a shot.
- Stop. - Do you even have the money?
A 100 baht a shot. Where would you get the money?
You've been selling snacks, right?
You're on. I won't waste my energy for free.
Let's do it!
- Yeah! - Come on!
A hundred baht!
You suck.
- Just go home! - Get out!
- Hey! - Let them have it.
You good? Go home and sleep!
- Come on. - Another hundred!
Are you okay?
This is nothing! Let's go again!
Hey!
Shin, are you okay?
You good?
Shin, that's a big wound.
You good?
Okay, we give up.
Time to admit who's the better team?
Yeah, you're good.
You're better than us, okay?
Don't come again tomorrow.
Don't even come to the tryout.
Don't, Shin. Don't pick a fight.
You owe us a thousand baht for giving up. Pay up.
- Hey, Shin. Stop that. - Whoa!
Yeah, I'll pay you tomorrow. Let's go, Shin.
Just go!
Don't be a coward and tell the teacher.
Shin!
Hey, this is nothing. Come on.
- It's nearly done. - No more. It hurts.
Serves you right.
There's one here too?
I'll apply some balm on it.
It will sting a bit.
Bear with it.
It burns?
See? When I get hurt, this is what Grandma does for me.
See?
It's better now, right?
Stop acting hurt. Time to eat.
Go ahead. I'll put this stuff away.
Come on.
What are you smiling about?
Nothing.
Just eat.
Tawan.
Take more.
You're hungry, right?
- Take more. - Okay.
Get some veggies too. Wait a second.
Get some veggies. Eat a lot of veggies.
You like carrots. Take it.
Hey, Tawan. Get some curry too.
It's my curry.
- Looks good, right? - Looks so yummy.
Stop. That's enough.
What are you looking at?
I've had a long day too.
Do mine too.
Eat a lot.
Eat some veggies.
Veggies help you heal.
Don't eat too much pork. It will slow down your recovery.
Right? Take this.
Want more rice? You had a bad day, right?
Stop that! I'm going to go ahead and eat.
- It's too much. - Just a bit more.
I care about you. Here.
- What's wrong? - It's too spicy.
- Really? - It's really spicy.
- It's spicy? - Have some water.
Tawan, if it's too spicy, give it to me.
- I'll eat it. - No.
What would Tawan eat then?
- Take my plate then. I got less curry. - Sit down and eat.
- Why not? - Tawan, it's okay.
- Let's switch plates. - Why would you switch?
Tawan's too spicy.
- It's the same. - It's fine.
- It's the same. - Tawan, come on. Give it to me.
Tawan, drink some water.
What?
Na.
Shin!
They're asleep?
Na.
Are you reading?
How are they so tired?
So, this is weird. Huh?
Thank you, Mr. Paul.
- Sorry. - It's okay.
- Thank you. - It's fine.
Are you borrowing this many books?
It would be great if we can borrow this many.
The librarian asked me to sort these books.
- I'll help you. - Thank you.
Are you here to borrow some books too?
I didn't think you would borrow books from the library.
Why can't I?
The library doesn't forbid adults from borrowing books.
That's true.
Kids these days don't read books in the library.
They're usually here to do group work
or take a nap because it's quiet here.
See?
You're right.
I'm more used to the touch and feel of physical books.
I was forced to read books as a kid.
I came here because I can't afford an iPad to download e-books.
It's not like I can carry my desktop PC here.
The library is the best option for me.
I think that's an advantage for you.
Books are like people.
You need to touch them to feel them.
If you want to know someone well,
you have to feel the heartbeat of that someone.
Every time I pick up a book,
I feel the heartbeat of the author.
When you read,
you feel the heartbeat of the author?
Can you feel every book?
Not every book.
Sometimes, I can't feel it because they didn't put their heart into it.
As I said, books are like people.
The work that the author didn't put their heart into
can never be a good piece of writing.
Teacher, if you saw a bad piece of writing, what would you do?
I would stop reading it.
It's the same as when you meet a bad person,
you stop hanging out with them.
If there were as many interesting books as interesting people,
that would be great.
I believe we don't need so many books in our lives.
All you need is one really good book
that you cherish.
You finished it and came back to start over.
Remember this,
a good book
gives you a new perspective
every time you read it.
Thank you, Teacher.
For what?
Someone once told me that
people are like books.
There are the good and the bad.
If you think of Holden Caulfield as a book, I have to say
he's uninteresting at first.
But when you keep reading,
you will see a beautiful side of him.
Holden Caulfield is an unconventional young man.
He appears to hate society, but deep inside,
he wants to make society better.
The problem is that he is just one boy
in a terrible society.
He can't find a way out.
However, he has a desire.
He wants to help the loser kids in the rotten society.
In reality, he's about to become a loser himself.
Actually, we all have the spirit of Holden in us
because we're only children struggling in this terrible world.
It's impossible for us to catch someone
or guide someone out
because we're the ones who are about to fall
without any adults here to catch us.
If I were Holden,
what I would do is
fight
and be better than the people who look down on me.
I'll stand at the highest position,
and I'll be number one.
Thank you.
That was amazing, Tawan!
Great job!
I couldn't even make out the first sentence, but you came up with that?
What first sentence?
You slept before you opened the book.
Even if you opened it, you'd sleep.
I don't know what it means. Does it make sense to you?
Use a dictionary then.
That's too much.
Are you crazy? It's as thick as a mountain.
- Sorry. Excuse me. - Excuse me.
Hey, Tawan is fifth!
Na, you're 18th!
And I'm
second to last.
What's with that, Shin?
- Why did you get second to last? - At least it's not the last.
That's the last one. The one in glasses.
Penny.
You're sixth. Tawan beat you.
We'll make Tawan the best swimmer in the world!
Tawan, you got this.
We will make you swim!
There you go, Tawan!
Patt.
That must be a VIP.
That's why he can ride that bike here.
All of you will pair up and write a report.
I would like to do it with Tawan.
It's settled.
The three of us are best friends.
You two are supposed to love me as friends, aren't you?
