"G. GALILEI"

MIDDLE SCHOOL

[music continues faintly through earbuds]

[Bianca laughs] Oh my God. I loved it.

No, I swear, your new song is super cool.

[laughs] I love what you did

with the rhymes.

- And the well, everything!

- [music slows to a stop]

- [sighs] They've become inseparable.

- [Bianca] We didn't know lesson four.

So we skipped third period

and reviewed it together,

and went back to class.

And then I go out and

- Hi, Dani.

- Hey.

- [upbeat hip-hop plays nearby]

- [Daniele] Hey, wait.

- [song plays through earbud]

- That's the song I was listening to!

[chuckles]

Okay, that's enough.

[switches music off]

The choreography works.

We'll continue tomorrow.

[gasps] That was crazy!

And this room is awesome.

At Marina Piccola,

you didn't have a multipurpose room?

[Xmob members giggle]

Thanks, yeah?

What's their problem

NOVEMBER

- 29 WEEKS TILL THE EXAM

MONDAY

- Can you believe what show-offs they are?

- Yeah, totally.

- But they're the only crew on the island.

- Are they really so good?

Yeah, they're pretty great.

- [Isabel] You talking about the Xmob?

- Yes, why?

They're friends of Roby.

Well, guys, I've known Emanuele since

grade school, but we were never friends.

He's a bit of a

Bigmouth?

[all laugh]

Exactly.

I'm off. I'll text you.

[light electronic music playing]

Aren't they so sweet?

Super sweet.

Two lovebirds.

- Dani, stop it!

- [Daniele] Why?

I vote them Couple of the Year.

- [laughs]

- [school bell rings]

- It's getting late. Let's go to class.

- Okay.

- "Oh, Roby! Mwah, mwah, mwah!" [laughs]

- How cute you are, Isabel!

[Daniele] You played basketball together?

- That's great!

- [Isabel] But he still can't b*at me.

- Cute couple, right?

- Sure.

- Hey.

- [Isabel] Hi.

You're so lucky. Roby's sweet, kind, cute.

An exception at Marina Grande.

And he also has a lot of friends

at school?

Dani, where is this going?

The Xmob.

[chuckles]

Can we talk to them, please? You and I?

What? This is a joke, right?

Isabel, why not?

Why do you keep insisting?

I insist because

I know they're impossible,

but they're good.

And I wanna dance.

And now that you're with Roby,

you know, they might listen to you.

Yeah. All right, I'll think about it.

- Thank you.

- [door opens]

- Good morning, class.

- [class] Good morning.

Hi, guys.

Hi.

Hi, girlfriend of Roby.

I do have a name. My name's Isabel.

Seriously, what a temper!

Sorry about earlier, for bothering you

during your practice, but

But?

I'd like to show you I can dance.

- He wants to dance with us?

- [chuckles]

No way. That's funny.

- Why?

- You're kidding!

- Come on, why?

- Have you seen yourself?

Whoa!

Hey, guys, enough!

On Friday, we have the battle. Maybe

We don't dance

with losers from Marina Piccola.

You serious?

[both giggling]

This is pointless. Come on, let's move.

[reflective electronic music playing]

[seagulls calling]

[Daniele sighs]

Better?

[chuckles] Better.

Well, they're just idiots, you know?

I know, but

- But what?

I don't wanna sound stupid,

but they gotta see me dance.

I could ask Roby to show

them your video, talk to them

Thanks, but no.

I'll find a way.

How's the Roby thing going?

You described him very well.

Roby's kind and gentle, adoring.

Gives me a lot of attention.

But?

No, there's no but. Obviously.

I just thought that

being with someone would be special.

Maybe I've watched too many rom-coms.

[chuckles]

Was it like that at first

for you and Nico?

Are you asking if I went "Wow"

right from the start?

Well, at first, no.

Especially because

I was recovering from Mirko.

But then it got better. A lot better.

It was exactly what I needed

to get over him.

But you still broke up.

Maybe love isn't like in the movies.

If you like Roby, go enjoy it.

Plus, there's no Mirko between you two.

No, no.

There's no Mirko. [chuckles]

Just stupid doubts of mine.

- Hmm.

- It's nice talking to you.

You're always the wisest.

I gotta go now.

Sure you don't want me

to ask Roby about the Xmob?

It's cool.

Okay.

- Bye.

- Bye, Isa.

[moody electronic music playing]

When I tell it like that,

it seems it was easy.

But I suffered a lot for Mirko.

Well, it got better.

I'm not completely over it,

but it got better.

[upbeat pop music playing]

TUESDAY

[Katia] Look who's here! Hi.

Are you all right?

[giggles]

Yes.

[Katia] Sara, what are you asking?

Can't you see her?

Obviously, she's doing fine.

She's doing her hair.

But don't you ever get tired of copying?

And these clothes? [scoffs]

They don't suit you.

You're out of shape.

[giggles]

But don't worry about it.

No one looks at you anyway.

[both giggle]

[upbeat hip-hop playing]

[turns music off]

[Emanuele laughs]

You're so terrible.

All right. That's enough.

- Apologize to him.

- Why should I?

He wanted our opinion,

and we're giving it to him.

The crew said no.

- Put down your hand.

- Don't touch me.

You better lay off.

Pietro. No worries.

Are you kidding us?

Who do they think they are?

We don't want you in our crew.

We don't want you guys in our school.

We don't want you in Marina Grande.

Enough, leave it.

[clears throat] Let's go.

Come on.

Go back to that

fishermen's village of yours. [laughs]

They behaved like that

because they're super jealous.

Yeah, that's right. And you don't have

anything to prove to anyone.

- Guys, they said that I suck.

- To me, you were great.

That's because you're my friend.

You guys love me, but my dancing sucked.

You shouldn't listen to those idiots.

No, stop. Enough. It's on me.

My dancing's bad.

I don't do it right. Okay?

You know they're just doing that

on purpose, right?

But everyone was looking.

- Laughing at me.

- They weren't laughing at you!

That's it, I never wanna dance again.

It was so humiliating.

- [Isabel] Where are you going?

- [Bianca] Don't.

WEDNESDAY

[school bell rings]

Finish your homework

and also pages 126 and 127, okay?

- [boy] Okay.

- All right, bye, guys.

- [boy] See you, teach.

- [students] Bye!

1 NOTIFICATION - NOW

@ANONIMUS345 COMMENTED ON YOUR PHOTO.

IF YOU'RE A WHALE, STAY IN THE OCEAN

AND SPARE US YOUR POSING.

[foreboding music playing]

Who said that?

I don't know.

- All right, guys Whoa!

- Sorry.

- What's going on with her?

- [door closes]

Someone posted a mean comment

under one of her photos.

But this profile's fake.

But why does she care, if it's fake?

- It's a fake?

- Yeah.

Well, guys, what others think

matters in the end.

Even if you don't know the person?

Even if it's an anonymous coward?

Everyone will see it.

They'll get the wrong idea.

And it matters, it'll make you feel bad.

But you can't do anything.

Well the Dani I know

would say the exact opposite.

You okay?

Yeah, totally.

No, actually. I feel bad still.

All right, perfect. [chuckles]

[energetic electronic music playing]

[players] Ooh!

[Emma] Thank you, guys.

That's it for today.

Bye.

- Yo! You're not upset?

- [Emma] Good job.

[Pietro] No way.

Come on, take it easy.

Wait till next practice.

[both sigh]

[Pietro] You addicted or what?

Yeah, but not to the socials.

To your friend.

[poignant music playing]

I text her all the time.

- I send her photos, audio

- And her?

[Roby sighs]

Well, she

She takes some time to respond.

She rarely texts me.

You think that's normal?

Isabel is like that. The more you cling,

the more she slips away.

Okay. You know her well.

I'll trust you.

I gotta be less clingy with her.

But how can I do it?

She's so beautiful!

And she's so good at basketball.

She's freaking perfect.

- And it's all thanks to you.

- [chuckles]

You're a bit clumsy at basketball,

but you're a true friend.

Leave me alone!

[energetic electronic music playing]

THURSDAY

[girl] Let's try.

Look. There he is.

Hey, Daniele!

Hey, wait up!

- What do you want from me?

- We were actually expecting you.

Right? Tell him.

Yeah, we were a bit pushy the other day,

but, let's just say that you did okay.

Well, thanks.

You talked to Roby, didn't you?

No, no. Listen.

See, bro, I don't like asking favors.

For the battle tomorrow,

the MadDogs are coming to the island.

- You know, right?

- Sure. So what?

They've challenged us,

but in their team, they have five.

And we're just four.

You get it, no? We're one short.

He's messing with me, or what?

[gentle electronic music playing]

VIEW COMMEN

ANONIMUS345:

WHAT'S A WHALE DOING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE?

Dani, what's up?

Nothing.

Hey. What's wrong?

The Xmob

they asked if I'd join their battle.

[gentle music playing]

But that's amazing news, right?

- Mirko, I don't feel that

- Whoa, hey!

You finally got what you wanted.

- But I'm not ready for a battle.

- Just take it easy.

Hmm?

[chuckles softly]

But I'm afraid of being embarrassed.

Can you imagine? Dancing in their crew?

No, no. I'd make 'em lose.

Who cares? Maybe that's not that bad, no?

VIEW COMMEN

ANONIMUS345:

A WHALE IN THE SPRINGTIME!:')

[school bell rings]

[funky electronic music playing]

What did you say to the Xmob?

I haven't replied to them.

You did good. They're just opportunists.

Exactly.

You know, I think you should accept it.

No.

Dani, why do you keep saying

you're not a good dancer?

If you weren't,

they wouldn't have asked you.

And you were the one who wanted

to dance with them.

Yes, but

If the Xmob loses, I'd be super happy.

I'm sure!

This is not about the Xmob,

it's about you, right?

I know.

Remember when you helped me

play my songs to Tancredi?

But Mirko, this is not the same.

You were good. You were shy, that's all.

I'm not shy, I'm just horrible.

And I'm very upset, to tell the truth.

It's your sh*t.

Come on, don't just blow it.

That's right, it doesn't make sense.

Listen, I'll give it a try.

DANIELE:

I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, I'M IN

How do you think they'll respond?

No, I'm sure they've found someone else.

[phone chimes]

EMANUELE:

GREAT! YOU'RE ONE OF US, THEN!

[laughs]

[joyful music playing]

- [Bianca gasps]

- [Mirko laughs]

[sighs]

- [Mirko] See?

- [laughs]

That's great, Dani!

All right, well done.

I'm happy for you.

- Although you know what I think.

- Cut it out!

- I'm out. Bye.

- Bye.

- You're in the crew!

- [Daniele] Yes, finally!

Who cares about the rest?

I'm doing it because I love it.

- Come here, man.

- Oh my God.

FRIDAY

[murmur of voices]

- Hi, guys. It's nice to have you here.

- Hi.

- [group] Hi.

- [man] Are you nervous?

A bit.

I bet. Just enjoy.

The MadDogs are very strong.

We're good too, come on! Right?

- [girl] Yeah.

- Sure.

- Do you know how this works?

- Sure thing.

Well, I'm not sure.

- Is this your first battle?

- [Daniele] Yeah.

Okay, don't worry.

You'll dance back to back.

First, we begin with one crew,

then the other.

And at the end, me and the other judges

will decide who's the winner.

Everything good?

All right, guys. Let's go.

Cut it out!

You're making a fool of yourself.

Just stick with us and follow

the choreography, okay?

Yes.

[uneasy electronic music playing]

[phone chimes]

ARIANNA: HI,

CAN YOU RECOMMEND A RUNNING APP?

LIVIA:

YOU WANT TO START RUNNING, WHY?

THEY'RE RIGHT, I'M TOO FAT!!

Okay, guys, let's start.

On my left, I present the Xmob.

[cheering and applause]

And on my right, I present the MadDogs!

[cheering]

Let's get started!

Show us all great hip-hop.

May the best crew win.

[Isabel] Yeah!

Whoo!

- [music stops]

- [cheering]

Guys, you were all awesome.

So, I think we're good.

We can cast our votes.

[tense electronic music playing]

The winners are Xmob!

- [Mirko] Whoo!

- [cheering and applause]

- Whoo!

- Bravo!

- Dani, you're great!

- They didn't expect to lose, huh?

Next, we'll b*at them at their home,

right? [chuckles]

Chill out. What do you mean, "next"?

Today was an exception

'cause we're one short.

But you'll never be in Xmob.

Go back to your friends

from Marina Piccola.

[Bianca sighs]

We heard what they said.

They're so rude.

They're disgusting opportunists.

Nothing good ever comes

from anyone from Marina Grande.

You should've made them lose.

Guys, it's not important.

I just wanted to dance.

Hey.

- You were great today.

- Thanks.

I hope we get to dance with you again.

You're good.

- [Monica] Come here!

- [Bianca] Yeah!

[Monica] Who cares about the Xmob?

- [Daniele laughs]

- [Isabel] You were so great!

[Pietro] You were amazing.

- [Giulio] Hey, no. The most amazing!

- The best dancer.

[upbeat music playing]

[Daniele] It's crazy how things can change

in such a short time.

Just a few wrong words can

make you go from hero to zero,

and make you think you're not good enough,

and that you should change.

- Hi, Dani.

- Arianna! [chuckles]

Where have you been?

You don't know what you missed!

- Did you win?

- Yeah, it went great.

What about you? What are you doing?

I need to lose weight.

What are you saying?

You're perfect like this.

No. That's not true.

Bye. See you.

Bye.
