Heartstopper
-S Ep -

Did you hear some Year is gay?

It's not really bullying...

Like, he sort of asked for it.

This is an all-boys school.
What did he expect?


He's so gross.

I bet he was looking at us
in the changing room.


- I'd rather be dead than be gay.
- Charlie.

He's looking at us.

What a weirdo.

He's such a loser.

Hi.

So I, um, heard about you
coming out last term.

Um, yeah, I guess.

That was really brave.

Well, it wasn't really my...

It sort of just got found out.

No one was supposed to know.

Well, you're brave
for putting up with all the negativity.

I guess so.

I'm Ben.

How are you doing, Elle?

Hmm?

I've noticed you haven't made
friends in your form group.

It's not easy moving schools
in the middle of Year .

I'm fine.

I could assign Tara Jones
to look after you?

No, no, I'm fine.
I promise, I don't want to bother anyone.

Okay, look. It's half-term next week.

How about you promise me

you'll try to make
at least one new friend before then?

Okay. Maybe.

He's straight, Charlie.

Like, you only need to glance at him
to see that he's a heterosexual.

Isaac, back me up on this.

Ginormous heterosexual.

Exactly.

Masculine guys can be gay.

You're not exactly the authority
on working out who is and isn't gay.

And bisexual people exist.

I know he's straight. He told me.

So, you need to get over him.

- Mr. Ajayi.
- Charlie Spring.

I have a question.

Well, I am officially
a beacon of learning, so, fire away.

How do I stop liking someone?
A straight guy.

Uh, the question for the ages.
I thought you had a boyfriend.

No. No, he was horrible.
This is someone else.

Wow. Being a teenager is terrible.

When I was a teenager
and had a crush on a straight boy,

I repressed it and suffered.

- That doesn't sound very healthy.
- Mmm.

Now, this may seem obvious,

but have you tried
putting some space between you?

- Can't do that.
- Can't or don't want to?

- Nope.
- I'm just saying...

I needed realistic solutions.

He's... He's a really good friend.

I'm afraid you're just
going to have to suffer then.

- Elle, you dropped your pencil case.
- Oh. Thanks, Tara.

It's really cute, where's it from?

Paperchase, but I painted
all the little flowers on it.

Really? That's so cool.
I can barely draw stick figures.

Do you want to meet up
with us for lunch today?

Did Miss Greenwood tell you
to try and make friends with me?

Uh... No.

We eat in the canteen,
so you can join us any time.

Hey. You okay?

Morning, Tara.

Did you finish your project?

- No.
- No?

I'm not even gonna
lie to you at this point.

You know it's due fourth period.

Yeah.

Wait, look.

Elle!

Hi.

So, Tara said you had no friends.

I didn't say that.

Monster Munch?

Yeah, okay.

So, you moved schools from Truham?

Yeah, Truham was just hell for me, so...

I mean, it was hell for almost everyone,
but, like, especially me.

I kept getting suspended
because of my hair length.

- Hair length?
- Yeah.

They have this stupid
"chin length or above" rule.

- Have you been finding it any better here?
- Yeah, it's a lot less stressful.

Apart from the whole
"having no friends" issue.

Don't worry, most people here are nice.
Just don't do anything Darcy says.

She'll have you taking part

in lunchtime games of American football
in the Science corridor.

Have you two been friends for a long time?

- Mmm...
- Best gal pals.

Since Year , so five years of hell.

Can't eat that now, can I?

This is Nellie.

Oh, my God, she's so cute.

I wish I had a dog.
My parents don't like animals.

You should come
round my house and meet her.

Are you free on Saturday?

Yeah, I think so.

Hi.

God, Tori.

Where you going?

Round a friend's.

Tao's?

No, his... His name's Nick.

Is my hair too short?

It looks the same.

But is it okay?

It looks the same.

Great. Thanks.

Have fun at Nick's.

Hey.

Hey.

Uh... This is Nellie.

Hey, Nellie. You're so adorable.

- You got a haircut.
- Um...

Is it... Is it bad?

No, you look...

It looks great.

Okay, you'd better come in or Nellie
will think we're going for a walk.

Okay.

- I'm in the lead.
- You're not going to win.

Can you let me win one time?
You've won five or six games.

I'm going easy on you.

No.

- No!
- Yes!

How are you so good at this?

You get to be good at real sports,
I get to be good at fake ones.

- No, you're just good at everything.
- No, I'm not.

- You are. You're a proper little nerd.
- I'm not.

Let's see. You're good at video games.

Literally all school subjects,
but especially maths.

Playing the drums.

Befriending dogs,
and you are good at sports.

- Like, you run so fast...
- Shut up!

You know it's true. Get off me. Get off.

- Oh, my God.
- What?

It's snowing.

Okay, try this one.

It's a bit big.

That one looks good.

Nellie!

Come here.

Whoa-ho!

♪ It's pretty fast but ♪

♪ This is what you do at parties, right? ♪

♪ And I know it's hard to tell ♪

♪ But I think I really like you ♪

More! Come on. More!

Charlie seems like a lovely boy.
When did you meet him?

Uh...

Couple of months ago. Uh, he's in my form.

He's very different to your other friends.

You seem much more yourself around him.

Do I?

You do.

Oh.

Who are you texting?

Your mum?

Whoa. Great joke, Nicholas.
Who are you texting?

Don't.

- Come on, whose DMs have you slid into?
- I haven't. God.

Well, okay, fine.

He's definitely chirpsing someone.

Come on! Let's go!

What did I say?

Here we go then!

- Come on!
- Yes! Yes!

So... we're doing well.

Don't pretend you have any idea
you know what's going on.

Which end are we supposed
to be getting the ball to?

That end.

Nick scored most of the points.

Well, he is the Rugby King.

Yep.

- I wanted to talk to you about Nick.
- Yeah? Me too.

- Did you?
- Yeah.

Yeah.

Well... you know
how I thought he was straight?

Yes.

Well, I've kind of
been feeling like maybe he isn't.

Like he might like me back.

Oh.

There's been these little moments over
the past weeks and during the half-term.

We've been hanging out non-stop,

and he's been acting
a little bit flirty sometimes.

Obviously, I'm not getting my hopes up,
but I just think maybe there's a chance.

What?

Um...

What?

Nick likes a girl.

What?

Like, he's in love with a girl.

Wha...

How do you know that?

Okay, I know how much you like him,
and I just don't want you to get hurt.

I decided to do
some digging over the half-term.

I messaged Otis, since I sort of know him,
and I know he's friends with Nick,

and I just slyly asked
if Nick was going out with anyone

because I might have
a friend who was interested.

He said that Nick's single,

but he's super interested
in this girl from the girls' school.

What girl?

Her name's Tara Jones.

Charlie!

Well done, team.

As your token straight friend,

it's my duty to remind you
that sometimes people are straight.

It's an unfortunate fact of life.

We don't know
if she actually likes Nick back.

I've already warned you about encouraging
Charlie's crushes on straight boys.

But I want to believe in romance.
Elle! So there's this girl at Higgs

- who Nick's got a crush on?
- We've heard from multiple sources.

We don't know if they're a thing.
Can you talk to her?

Charlie won't give up on this straight boy
until we know for sure.

Oh, my God, be quiet.

Okay. Slowly. What do you want?

Do you know a girl called Tara Jones?

- Yeah.
- Can you ask her if she likes Nick Nelson?

Nick Nelson?
You might as well give up right now.

He's the straightest person
I have ever seen.

Thank you!

I don't know Tara that well.

I can't just go up to her
and ask her who she fancies.

And I'm too busy
being the cool, mysterious new girl

who everyone wants to hang out with.

I'm fine. It's honestly fine.
I'm just being an idiot.

Okay. Look, if and only if
I get the chance,

I'll ask her.

- Thank you!
- I'm making no promises.

Tao.

Come on...

There we go. Aw.

Ladies, come on.

We've got still minutes

to practice talking about
friends and family.

Everyone get into pairs.

Hey, come sit here.

Can we be a group of three?

Oh, my God, yes, please.
Darcy's pronunciation is horrendous.

See?

Okay. Darcy...

Do you have a boyfriend?

Yes, I have a girlfriend.

"Une" makes it feminine,
so you'd be saying you have a girlfriend.

Uh, whoops.

Elle, your turn.

Okay.

Tara, do you have a boyfriend?

No, I don't have a boyfriend.

- What? It's true.
- I know.

Let's move away
from the boyfriend question.

Uh, Elle...

Do you have brothers or sisters?

Hey.

Sorry. I'm definitely straight,
like, I only like girls.

We should probably stop
being friends if you feel like that.

Charlie.

What?

You just spaced out.

Oh.

What?

What's up?

Do you...

Do you want to come round my house?

- Knew it!
- Said it in your head.

That doesn't count!

- It totally counts.
- That completely doesn't count!

- You're rubbing off on me.
- You're worse.

I'm not. It does matter
if you said it because I won,

- but then you said you won because...
- I did win!

...you knew first,
but you didn't say it.

- I absolutely did!
- Um, hi.

I was just admiring Tara's hands.

Mine get super crusty
in the cold, but hers are really soft.

Darcy.

I'm sorry if I've got totally
the wrong idea here,

but are you two, like... dating?

Don't tell anyone, okay?

Only a few of our friends know,

but I think you're officially
part of the inner circle.

Also, "hers are really soft,"

that's the gayest excuse
I've heard in my life.

You've befriended the school lesbians.

Hey.

Hey.

You're terrible.

I'm trying.

Here, budge up, let me help.

There.

You're a pro now.

Um...

Well, that's probably cheating though.

I wish you didn't have to go.

I wish I didn't either.

You look so cuddly like that.

Do I?

Yeah.

Um...

Okay, see you Monday.

I don't think he's straight.
