What are you going to do

if you miss the bus?

I am not going to miss the bus.

I'll be at that book store,

come hell or hobgoblins

because this is the most important,

the most life-defining moment

of my entire life.

Sounds good, cupcake.

Thanks, Dad.

Dad, listen, I'm gonna be okay.

I know.

So how much would it cost just to

have my bladder removed at this point?

Harper, it's not a UTI.

What else would it be?

Chlamydia.

I'll do a swab to confirm.

But in the meantime,

we'll get you started on a course

of antibiotics.

We'll also need to start the process

of contacting

any sexual partners you might have had

over the past six months.

Oh.

f*cking mint.

All of our students

on the Respectful Relationships Program

made an oath to the school

that there would be no second chances

when it came to disreputable behaviour.

And after Harper's very public outburst

at the City of Sydney

Interschool Basketball Semifinals,

I am considering suspending her.

I can't be suspended.

You should have thought about that

before you made a mockery of our school.

Listen, Harper's been

going through a lot lately and

Dad.

You don't know the half of what

Dad!

I'll do detention

every day for the rest of the year

or I'll pick up more rubbish.

Whatever you want.

You just can't suspend me, please.

Year 11 is a difficult time

for most students, isn't it, Ms. Obah?

So, in this instance,

I will reduce the punishment to detention.

Uh Um, detention's

a little bit full at the moment.

Right.

So library duty then, every day

after school for the rest of term.

Final warning, Harper. Are we clear?

Thanks, miss.

Thank you for making time, Mr. McLean.

- My pleasure. Thank you.

- See you soon.

I mean Not too soon.

- Thanks.

- Okay.

Okay, so we've got a trashed classroom,

four boys in detention,

public shaming involving a threesome,

all SLT kids.

Gosh. I thought maybe I'd see,

I don't know,

an improvement in their behaviour.

It hasn't even been

two months since the map.

- They're getting better.

- Okay.

Well, I asked you to lead the class

and you promised me

that you were up to it.

I am.

So maybe you need to

reconsider your current approach, Jojo.

Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

Haven't you said enough?

- It's not about

- Move.

Hey, guys, I know you don't want

No. I'm not gonna let you

suck me into your negativity black hole.

You're an emotional vampire, Harper.

I watched a whole YouTube video on it.

Let's eat yuh yuh

Let's eat yuh yuh ♪

Let's see if you can keep up

With the b*at yuh yuh ♪

Take a seat yuh yuh

Time to feast yuh yuh ♪

Then let's see what you can f*ckin' do

For me yuh yuh ♪

Whoa.

Half the school thinks

she's an untouchable icon.

The other half thinks

she's a batshit banshee.

And I am not wasting

another brain cell thinking about her.

I spent all weekend manifesting

a beautiful new reality

and I have zero shits left

to give about anything.

Okay, Amerie, wake up.

Your heart is shattered

into a million, tiny, pathetic pieces.

Are you gonna be there with me? ♪

Let's go. Forget about Threesome Boy.

I'm the hottest thing

this side of the bridge

and he's treating me like a foot fungus.

Ca$h is officially expired.

Maybe he doesn't like

boning as much as you do.

Have you seen who he hangs out with?

If those eshays aren't dealing dr*gs,

they're wheeling with their dicks.

Not everyone functions

the way that you do.

And you haven't even had a conversation

about what you're both looking for.

Sasha and I did it

when we first started dating.

Aw. Or I could just get sh*t-faced

and forget he ever existed.

Amerie, your mum's

working the night shift?

Yeah.

Listen up, cum stains!

Lonely hearts gatho at Amerie's tonight.

BYO alcohol, you cheap, cheap hoes.

And no Year 7s.

No, that was a totally fabricated lie.

Oh, sh*t. I hope not.

Nothing's happening.

Are you serious?

This is the first time in months

anyone wants to hang out with you.

Okay, this could be the biggest comeback

since crop tops.

You only get one sh*t at this.

Actually, yes, something

is happening tonight at my place.

Okay.

Oi! And the theme is,

"Back from the Dead,"

to celebrate Amerie's social resurrection.

My idea. Please tell everyone you know.

Okay.

You're actually going to come?

Well, yeah, I think it's genuinely cool

to see how far you've evolved

since sh*t went sideways.

So, yes, we will both be there.

Um, I've actually got

this book signing tonight thing.

Oh.

It's the release of

Angeline of the Underworld.

Only the most important event

in Quinni's life thus far.

- sh*t! I completely forgot.

- It's okay.

Well, we can go to that

and we can still make Amerie's after?

Um

- Hey, we can figure out details later.

- Okay.

Oh, my God. This is school property.

You filthy, filthy horn bags.

Why're we in the gym?

We have sex ed in the gym.

Oi.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

No, I'm just

I stayed up watching Antique Roadshow.

All righty. Thank you all

for showing up today.

Hang on, we're missing Dusty?

Yeah, he's not coming.

Well, I saw him this morning.

He should be here.

So, uh, we're going to be playing a game

called Stuck in the Mud.

You might be familiar with it.

If you get tagged, you're stuck

and you can't move again unless someone

crawls between your legs

and sets you free.

Okay, why?

Because why not? It could be fun.

Amerie, you're "it."

If Amerie manages to get you all stuck

in five minutes,

I think I'll give her,

I don't know, 20 bucks?

Okay, laps. Let's go.

Miss, uh, we're not dressed to sweat.

Well, I don't care

what you're dressed for.

You're all going to start running now,

or you'll be running after school.

Your choice.

Let's go.

You love watching me run,

don't you?

Okay. New rule,

anyone wearing a checkered shirt

is now automatically stuck

for the rest of the game.

What the hell, you can't just

change the rules.

Actually, yeah, I can.

Now anyone wearing blue is also stuck.

And anyone wearing a watch.

- Spider!

- That means you, Spencer.

That's not fair.

Well, fairness is irrelevant.

You're stuck in the mud

or you're on double detention.

f*ck.

All right.

Good hustle, Amerie.

Twenty dollars, as promised.

Thank you.

You can't make us play a game

and then change the rules

every ten seconds.

Right. So you all agreed

to play the same game,

but someone, me,

decides to change the rules.

- Does that feel fair?

- No.

But you still kept playing.

Yeah, because you told us

that we'd all get detention

and you promised Amerie 20 bucks.

It was rigged.

So this brings us to the point

of today's exercise.

I want you to start thinking

about this unfair power balance.

About other times something like this

might happen in life.

A boyfriend who decides

what their partner is allowed to

Yeah, here comes the man bashing.

You want to know what is unfair?

The fact that this entire school

is out to get anyone with a pair of nuts.

Okay, that is completely untrue.

So I get detention

for looking the wrong way,

but Harper gets a pat on the back

for publicly sh1tting on Dusty.

You wonder why he doesn't rock up.

Hey, look around, Spencer.

No one's feeling sorry for you or Dusty

because you aren't the victims here

and I really don't think

you're convincing anyone that you are.

Anyway

f*cking feminazis, man.

Sorry, what did you just say?

I said this is bullshit!

Get out of my class!

Um Okay, we'll pick this up next week.

Hey, Harper.

- I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for that to

- Don't worry about it.

Hey. Spider's a massive w*nk*r.

I probably shouldn't say that, but

I don't think Harper's doing so well.

Mmm. If you're a bitch,

people will let you know.

I'm not interested in rehashing

whatever happened between you,

but I would have thought

that you, of all people,

know when something

is seriously up with someone.

Come on.

Who was texting you?

Don't want to talk about it.

- Just leave it.

- Okay. Woah!

This is like some VIP sh*t!

- Let's drop.

- Maybe later.

It's the perfect time.

I think I'm just gonna chill

on the ug-drays tonight.

So I just do them by myself?

- Come on. You're the one that bought them.

- Yeah and I changed my mind.

That was like a hundred bucks

you just threw away.

f*ck it. I'm getting another drink.

Harper!

You guys going to get costumes

and stuff for tonight?

What's tonight?

Amerie's thing.

Darren said it's a dress-up party

or something.

Nah, bro. Costumes are lame.

Yeah, definitely.

I don't know. I reckon I look pretty sick

as the grim reaper though.

You going?

Not if she's going to be there.

Man, I hope she is.

Pay good money to see

what psycho tits over there does next.

That's a f*cked up thing to say.

Relax, man, it was just a joke.

I don't reckon it was that funny.

I actually reckon

you're a bit full of sh*t.

Letting this dickhead

run his mouth for you as usual.

Well, f*ck you, too then.

Oh

Oh, no. Little Malakai.

What are you doing?

I'm sick of Dusty's sh*t.

I'm sick of all that sh*t.

Yeah, me too.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm coming over at 5:00

so we can get warmed up.

But it's just going to be

a chill thing, right?

- Say yes. Yes.

- Yes. Chiller than a penguin's bunghole.

Ooh.

So I heard you were

having a thing tonight.

- Yeah. I guess I'm having a thing.

- Yeah.

I don't know if it's too soon,

but would it be cool

if I drop by for a bit?

Depends. What's your MO?

No MO.

Just a brother who wants

to hang out with his homie

and has access to OG Twister.

- Great. Wait, really?

- Hmm.

They don't call me

the Flexitron for nothing.

No one calls you that, Malakai.

Like, ever.

It could catch on if we start now.

My house at 7:00.

Bring your own whatever you drink.

- And bring Twister.

- Yeah.

Ca$h.

I'm just here

delivering some orders, Darren.

Right.

Hey, I haven't seen you in a while.

I thought you've been avoiding me.

Nan's been in the hospital

the last few days.

sh*t. I'm sorry.

Yeah, she, um

she took her back out dancing with Bazza

from a few houses up the road.

And for some reason they were both naked.

Sorry. Sorry, I shouldn't laugh.

No, it is kind of funny.

Yeah. Um, I'll see you around.

Amerie. Whoa.

That's enough fiber for two colonoscopies.

If a colonoscopy means

having a totally positive outlook

while looking cute as sh*t,

then count me in, Mum.

And thanks for letting me

have friends over.

No, that's not

- Mwah.

- That is not what a colonoscopy is.

Hey.

Hey.

- How did you get in?

- Frank let me in.

Um

Sorry. Nap breath.

Oh. I literally do not give a sh*t.

So I'm thinking of starting

a petition to get Spider suspended.

I know Harper was heaps unethical,

but that doesn't give him the right

to be sexist about it.

Definitely.

We started

this other petition this morning

to ban oil exploration off the east coast,

- and it's already at 250 signatures!

- Cool!

Right? That's amazing. I feel like

I'm actually changing the world.

I have to start getting ready.

Um, you can stay or go. Or

Doesn't your book thing start at 7:00?

Yes. Um, I just wanted to get there early.

Oh.

Why didn't you tell me?

I would have gotten Missy to drive us.

It's fine. I've memorized this for ages

along with three bus schedules.

I've been planning this for a long time,

so I don't really want to

change it up last minute.

Right. Yeah, we'll just get the bus then.

Okay. Cool.

So Angeline doesn't actually have parents,

but there's this fan theory that Hadeus,

the genderqueer Demon Emperor,

is one of her illegitimate parents,

even though he's out to k*ll her

Whoa. That sounds stressful.

Yes, but it is also the greatest thing

ever written.

You know, you're really cute

when you get arced up.

Uh, so I was thinking

that if your thing finishes at 9:00,

we could still hit up Amerie's

at like 10:00, 10:30?

You can go.

Oh, well, I was kind of hoping that

we could go together

like a regular couple.

Listen, Sash, I just think

I'm going to need an early night.

I know I'm going to get

really worked up about this.

- I've been waiting for so long

- Are you overthinking this?

Maybe.

Just see how you feel later, okay?

Oh, wait, can we stop real quick?

There's that gelato place

I told you about.

- What?

- Please, I'm craving a sweet treat.

They have a lychee pandan flavor

I've heard is really good.

Quinni, I swear on my lesbian life,

I will get you to that launch on time.

Come on.

Um

I thought I'd come by and

Now's not great.

Got my hands full with Nan.

Look, maybe we have completely

different sex drives or whatever.

We could work through that

and I should have

Oh, my days, I can't do this right now.

It's never going to be

a good time for you, is it?

Yeah. And you only ever

think about yourself, don't you?

Ca$hy boy! Hoo, hoo, hoo!

Yo. Winner, winner chicken dinner.

- Where's Nan?

- Got extra chippies for Nan.

What's he doing here?

Just a customer.

Come on.

What do you want?

Sorry?

What flavor?

Um

I don't really feel like ice cream.

Not even something to drink then?

Uh, sorry, could I please get

one scoop of the lychee

Sasha?

Jules? What the hell?

I didn't think anyone came here anymore.

No, it's 'cause

Did you hear what happened

to Terry Rhymes?

About time

she got knocked off her pedestal.

I d*ed when she said

it was one of her maids.

Stop.

Say you hate poor people and move on.

I know. And she hates poor people.

Constantly. She really heaps

the syllables in.

In. I know. It's ridiculous. And like

She's actually evil.

Don't you think

that's messed up, Quinni?

Sorry?

Oh. Mmm-hmm.

Um

Is she okay?

Yeah. She just gets

stressed out sometimes.

She's kind of, like, on the spectrum.

Yeah. Anyway

- That's like sh*t obvious.

- I know. She's a bitch.

Did she even do well?

- No.

- Oh.

- That's just really disappointing then.

- I know.

Hey, so

Um, I know you really don't want

to talk to me right now, but

Just wanted to let you know

that I have chlamydia.

So you probably do as well.

Awkward.

Yeah, I've been meaning to tell you.

I have chlamydia.

So now you do as well. Yay. Congrats.

Hey. So

Been super busy with schoolwork

and finding out I have chlamydia.

Have you heard about chlamydia?

Well, you have it.

Oh, me? No. Yeah. I'm doing great.

Oh, my God. I just found out.

I cannot believe it.

So I thought I had this UTI

and then it wasn't a UTI.

Turns out it's chlamydia.

So we both have chlamydia!

Dude. I got chlamydia, babe. So do you.

There's medication for that sh*t.

Sit down.

Turns out I have chlamydia.

Which means you probably do too.

See, it wasn't that hard. Was it?

Whoa.

People are actually into this.

Cute.

Oh, my God!

- Quinni. Quinni!

- Ben! Oh, my God. Hi!

Look at you! I love your little horns.

Thanks! Oh, my God. I'm so excited.

I don't know if I should scream or cry.

I know. We made it! Is this

- Sasha!

- I'm Ben.

- Hi.

- Ben and I were forever bonded in Grade 4.

We spent every lunch

reading Angeline in the library.

Those books were straight up

cr*ck to our ten-year-old brains.

How'd you feel

when Angeline sacrificed herself

at the end of the last book? I lost it.

- She's a newbie.

- Ah.

I'm just not a big fantasy novel person.

Right.

But they have massive

commercial appeal, so that's cool.

Yeah. Oh, I'll see you inside, okay?

Okay. Sounds good. Yeah.

- Feliz navidad!

- Yes, feliz navidad.

I am completely, utterly, spiritually,

and hormonally done with Ca$h.

He's an assh*le.

Shush now. No more drama. Drink up.

Welcome back, bitch.

Hey.

I didn't realize this was gonna go off.

Oh, yeah. All these people

just kind of started showing up.

You didn't bring any

No. Not drinking tonight.

Oh, okay. Um, make yourself

at home or whatever.

Okay, the whole reason for this

is so we can rid your mind of Malakai.

Not so you can pine after him.

No. Maybe it'll be fine.

We can all be friends

and nothing will hurt anymore.

Okay, look at me.

Promise that you will not engage,

you will not flirt,

you will not look in his direction

for longer than two seconds.

What? Why not?

Otherwise, you will never

get over him, Amerie.

Well, well, well. Didn't take you

for the house-trashing type, Ms. Wadia.

I am now.

- Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.

Hey! What

What's going on, bro?

I don't know, bro. You tell me.

Did you bring your new mate?

- I don't want to start anything.

- Yeah.

Darren! Darren. Where are you?

You have to make me another drink.

You messed that one up, eh?

But what would I know, right?

I'm full of sh*t, huh?

Enjoy your night, bro.

Hey, mate. Want a beer?

We're so lucky to have the author of

Angeline of the Underworld here tonight.

So please give your warmest welcome

to Rhea Brown.

Look at all these beautiful demons

here tonight.

All right. Let's go.

Angeline of the Underworld: Vengeance Is Joy, chapter one.

"Angeline stares into the yawning abyss."

"The world remains intact,

but her heart is in pieces."

"It seems mere moments ago

that Elektra stood by her side

and now she belongs to the darkness."

- Thank you so much for coming.

- Thanks so much.

- Hi, cutie.

- Hi!

- What's your name?

- Quinni.

Quinni, okay.

I just wanted to say that

you've completely saved my life.

Not literally, obviously,

because we've never met before.

I've been like reading Angeline

since I was ten.

It's made me love reading and writing.

It's made me a better person.

I'm rambling.

I don't know what I'm saying.

I just love you so much

and I think you're so amazing

and just Thank you.

Oh, thank you, Quinni.

Don't take too long

to start writing your own series

because I'm going to read

all of your books.

- Really?

- Oh, yeah. You're brilliant. I can tell.

Thank you. Um, one more question, sorry.

Can we get a photo together?

- Of course.

- Okay.

You ready?

Oh, yeah. Sorry, do you mind

taking a photo for us?

- Sure thing.

- Thank you.

Three, two, one, cheese!

- Thank you so much. Thank you.

- Lovely to meet you.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

- Whoa!

- Easy there, cowboy.

Thanks for saving my life, cowgirl.

Don't let it go to your head.

Too late.

Welcome to the club, by the way.

Broken heart society. Population two.

It's great. You'll love it here.

We got snacks and everything.

And I'm sorry Malakai

wasn't honest with you, by the way.

About what happened.

I can't imagine being put on

blast by Harper was any easier.

I know that kind of stuff

is hard to talk about,

but if you ever need someone to listen.

Adorable and a heart of gold.

You're k*lling me over here.

Shut up.

I don't know why

I didn't figure it out sooner.

Hey, where you going? We just got here.

I hope Amerie doesn't mind

I brought a few strays.

Yeah, that's totally fine.

Come on.

What's going on, bro?

I'm Jai. Missy's brother.

Uh, nice to meet you. I'm Malakai.

I know who you are.

That's a deadly piece, bro.

Uh, Missy gave me one, but I lost it.

Don't even worry about it, bro.

I make these all the time

- I'll get you another one, ey?

- Cheers. I appreciate that.

Excuse me. Are you coming?

Let's go. Come on.

sh*t.

Do you want to go somewhere quieter?

I can't believe it actually happened,

I got to meet her.

I want to be a writer.

- What?

- I want to write a book.

And I want to get pissed.

Oh. Sash, I don't really think

I can deal with a party right now.

Are you upset with me?

Being packed into a bookstore

with a bunch of sweaty fangirls for hours

is not exactly my ideal night out.

I thought you wanted to do this with me.

Yeah, I do this for you.

I always feel like I'm trying to do

these things for you.

But what about me, huh?

Do you ever think about me?

- What?

- Sometimes it's hard being with you.

When I just want to be a normal teenager.

I'm not normal enough for you.

Don't pull the f*cking autism card

on me right now. You know what I meant.

Sometimes, it's just a lot for me. Okay?

It's a lot for me too, Sasha.

It's my whole life.

No, Quinni, come on.

You know I didn't mean that.

Quinni.

What is this thing?

It's a mermaid bear.

Wait, so does that mean

a bear and the mermaid had to

- Shut up.

- To make this?

- Why do you have this thing?

- I don't know.

Shut up.

Hey, do you know where Amerie is?

Uh, probably swapping spit

with her new boyfriend.

We need to talk later.

I reckon you're cool and all

but I think we're better as mates.

No, that's not what I meant.

Everyone, I'm going to do a backflip.

Come on. Move!

Oh, sh*t.

- Not now.

- Whoo!

Move, dickhead.

Touch me again, babe. I'm desperate.

- Stop!

- Harper!

What the actual f*ck is wrong with you?

I tried to call you,

but you didn't answer.

You're broken, Harper.

Go wank yourselves off

somewhere else. Not you.

This is serious.

Jump, jump, jump!

Should I jump?

Am I going to make it?

Get down, Malakai!

Oi. Bro, use this.

Move! To the right.

Oi, oi, oi. Make that sound again.

What are you doing?

Why did you even invite me, Amerie?

You made me bring Twister.

You ignored me all night.

Jump!

Don't. f*cking stop!

Jai! Jai!

Jai!

Malakai!

Malakai, please.

Oi! What are you doing?

Get off of me. f*cking get off me!

Get off me. f*cking get off me!

It's all right, brother.

I'm here. I'm here.

It's all right. I got you, cuz. I got you.

It's all right.

You're all f*cked in the head.

Every single one of you.

Yo, this sucks balls.

Let's go. Kick ons? Yours?

Oi, going back to Ant's. Kick ons?

Reckon I'm gonna go home.

What? No. Don't be a p*ssy.

f*ck off, man. I said I'm going home.

All right, bro.

f*ck.

by moderately severe shitness

for the rest of my life?

Oh, um, if it's any consolation,

I found this on the bus this morning.

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

Makes me feel better.

Amerie.

Come with me.

Who got murked?

Okay. These people are going to

ask you some questions.

I'm not allowed to stay here

with you, Amerie.

But if anyone needs me afterwards,

I will be in my office. Okay?

Okay.

What?

Listen, if this is about the party

Amerie, we'd like to ask you

a few questions about Miss Obah.
