GRADE 11, SECOND SEMESTER
It's because I'm not pretty,
not rich,
and not smart like her.
In the end,
everyone stabs me in the back.
In the end,
no one cares about me.
In the end,
I'm just a bystander in my own life.
If the next life does exist,
may I be the main character in the story of my life?
Stop now, Pim.
I might have never got a chance
to tell you.
But the truth is,
we're sisters.
Have mercy, God.
I beg forgiveness for Pim!
As for me,
I promise
that I will learn
from the mistakes
that both of us made.
I saw Grace rehearsing so determinedly.
Seeing how great the play turned out, I feel happy for her.
Your friend manages her time well.
Come again?
Usually, activity junkies don't have time to study.
Although Grace is in the Drama Club,
she's able to keep her good grades.
I wonder how she does it.
Right.
What's that smell?
It's you, Pukester.
Hi.
I'll get going then.
You should bear in mind what kind of person Pukester is.
If he finds out about our little business,
we're all dead, hon.
I'm not that stupid to let him find out.
But many smart people
make stupid mistakes when it comes to matters of the heart.
You don't have to worry about that.
I assure you
I don't have a weak spot for him.
Lin.
Babe.
Hey.
Your acting was great, Grace.
The last scene where you cried,
it was very convincing.
How did you do it?
You mean this?
Wow.
Cool.
Actually, I have a technique, Lin.
What?
I just pinch myself so hard
that my tears start running.
Wow.
Goodness, babe.
You sure have talents.
I'm sure you'll get the lead role in the next one.
I don't think so, babe.
You see,
I have to compete against Claire.
I can't compete with her.
Why not?
Well, Claire is much prettier than me.
No matter how well I act, I can't beat her.
She's also close with Baz, the director.
She's not that pretty. Her acting also sucks.
My babe is the prettiest girl here.
Right, Boo-Boo?
Babe, let's go home.
Babe!
What is it?
You said that Claire was prettier than you.
But for me,
you're much prettier.
Especially today, you're the prettiest ever.
Such a sweet talker.
What do you want?
Babe.
We talked about this already, that we're not doing it now.
I got caught up in the moment.
When are you going to give in to me?
When I'm ready, I'll let you know.
Please wait for me, Boo-Boo.
Classroom 1, sit to the left.
Classroom 4, sit to the right.
When you're seated, don't open your test papers just yet.
It's Bank, again.
What should we do?
His seat is far from us.
It's okay.
What's with you guys?
You're not allowed to talk in the exam.
The test has 60 questions.
You have 2,5 hours to complete the test.
It starts at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 11:30 a.m.
You may start now.
Ma'am.
I'm finished. Where should I put my paper?
Walk over here and hand it to me.
Don't make any noise during the exam.
Place your answer sheet here and the question paper here.
Make sure you've written your name on it.
Yes.
Hold on.
You, over there.
What are you doing?
Noppachai.
What were you looking at down there?
Nothing, ma'am.
Stand up.
Empty your pockets.
Both of them.
What is this?
Where did you get it from?
I asked you, who did you get it from?
If you don't tell me, I'll give you an F.
Everyone must retake the test.
Are you going to tell me or not?
Follow me to my office.
Everyone, put your pencils down. It's over.
How did Moo get a cheat sheet?
It must have come from one of our clients.
Look at it.
There are dashes where you have to answer by yourself.
I'm going to grill that bastard
-about how he got the cheat sheet. -Pat, don't.
We still don't know who in our group he got it from.
And he probably has no idea that you're a part of it.
If you talk to him right now, he'll know our scheme for sure.
Let's start with the insiders.
Pat.
Go gather all our clients.
I didn't give it to him.
I paid you guys.
How come you suspect me?
If you don't believe me, check out my Facebook page.
I'm not even friends with him.
Stop being cocky.
You might have unfriended him before coming here.
Why don't you ask your BFF?
I hardly know Moo.
I took this picture when we had an interview together.
I host the school's radio station.
He came to promote the play. That's it.
I really don't have a clue.
Why would I help him cheat?
Are you sure?
Yes.
Don't you believe me? I'm your friend, man.
You guys should have questioned Tong instead.
What's with him?
Can't you remember?
In junior high,
they were in a band together.
Oh, that's right.
Damn it. I totally forgot.
We were close in junior high, but…
I don't have anything to do with him now.
I didn't do it, Lin.
Ping said you played games together the other day.
It's just games.
It doesn't mean I'd help him cheat.
Why don't you suspect Pat?
Bullshit.
What about Grace? She's in the Drama Club with Moo.
I'm sorry, Grace. I…
I just want to point it out to Lin, that's all.
Okay. I understand.
Here's the thing, Tong.
It's not like I'm playing favorites.
But…
Pat is the one who introduced you guys to me.
As for Grace, I let her copy for free.
I don't know why these two would do it.
If you did it,
you'd better come clean now.
Come on, Lin.
I told you I didn't do it.
Why don't you believe me?
Why don't you guys believe me?
Grace, please believe me.
I swear I didn't do it.
Thanaphon Viriyakul, please come to Ms. Sirada's office at once.
What's wrong, ma'am?
I'm going to ask you frankly, Thanaphon.
Did you give Noppachai the answers?
No, ma'am.
I've marked the test papers.
Only you and Rinrada
got all the answers correct
and could have made that cheat sheet.
But Rinrada
isn't from your classroom.
She sat quite far from Noppachai.
How could she send it to him?
But you…
You two are from the same classroom.
Noppachai is your classmate.
You also sat next to him.
Perhaps your test was leaked.
If your test paper was leaked,
it would be possible that Moo got the answers before the exam.
You aren't going to admit it,
and now accuse me of leaking the test?
That's not it, ma'am.
Let's say the test was leaked and that cheat sheet was Noppachai's.
Why would he wait until the time was almost up
and manage to copy 20 questions?
Don't be sneaky. You can't fool me, Thanaphon.
Why did you let them off so easily?
It's useless to keep on pressing them.
No one is going to admit it.
I'm not sure about Third.
But Ping is my close friend.
I can assure you he didn't do it.
As for Tong,
he's the most suspicious one.
It must be him.
What are you going to do, Lin?
-Grace. -Yes?
Would Moo suspect you
if you convinced him to talk?
Hey. Do you think it's a good idea?
It's okay, babe.
Actually, I talked to him before when we did the play.
I'll give it a try.
But you have to be careful, Grace.
Sure.
Moo, you bastard.
Moo.
We need to talk.
I'll get going now.
Ms. Sirada just called me in.
She thinks I gave you the cheat sheet.
You must tell her the truth.
Tell her who you got it from.
Sorry, man.
I can't rat on a friend.
But I got in trouble because of you.
I already failed the test.
What else do you want from me?
I already tried my best with Moo,
but he didn't say a word, babe.
He said he'd never rat out a friend.
All right.
I'm at my wit's end.
I don't know how to get him to talk.
Well,
did you tell Lin about this?
Yes.
I already told her.
Lin will catch that punk somehow.
Right?
Why is your voice funny, babe?
What are you doing?
I'm lifting weights.
I'm a bit breathless.
Lifting weights at night
might make you too restless to sleep.
I know, babe. I'm almost done.
I've got to go back to my workout.
Okey dokey.
Why are you teasing me?
My girlfriend will find out.
Your girlfriend is incredibly patient.
What do you mean?
She has such a tasty treat with her,
but she won't taste it.
It's good for me though.
I'll eat it up myself.
Be careful. If you have too much, you'll get heartburn.
What is it, Bank?
Help me take a look at this.
What is this?
The seating chart.
I was thinking about Moo's cheat sheet.
When the teacher caught him,
he hadn't gone halfway through the test.
It means he's waiting for the answers from someone.
There's only you and me
who know all the correct answers just like the cheat sheet.
But neither of us gave it to him.
So Ms. Sirada's test may have been leaked to someone else.
GRACE, BANK, MOO
GRACE
Why is Grace in there?
I know she is your best friend.
But please listen to me first.
I saw Moo and Grace talking alone yesterday.
Grace.
Would Moo suspect you, if you convinced him to talk?
Actually, I talked to him before when we did the play.
I'll give it a try.
Both of them are in the Drama Club.
Exactly.
Grace and Moo are in the same club.
It means they're friends.
They could have helped each other, right?
Bank.
I don't think it's Grace.
Look at this.
Grace and Moo.
Their seats are far apart.
How could they pass the answers?
There are Claire
and Baz.
They are also in the Drama Club.
Grace sent it to Claire.
Claire passed it on to Baz.
And Baz could have given it to Moo.
But I think I know Grace well enough.
I'm sure she'd never do this.
I've come the wrong way.
I've never cheated on a test in my life, you know.
Why does the teacher suspect me?
TEACHER'S DESK
THIRD
Check out my Facebook page. I'm not even friends with him.
PING
I took this picture when we had an interview together.
TONG
We were close in junior high, but…
I don't have anything to do with him now.
There are Claire
and Baz.
They are also in the Drama Club.
CLAIRE-BAZ
BAZ-MOO
TONG
TONG-CLAIRE
I told you I didn't do it.
Why don't you believe me?
What about Grace?
She's in the Drama Club with Moo.
CLAIRE
GRACE
Lin, why did you ask me to see you?
What is it?
The seating chart of the Drama Club members
and those who got the answers from me.
I gave it some thought last night.
The theory that makes the most sense
to explain how Moo got the cheat sheet
is that the Drama Club members passed it along.
Starting with you.
Wait. Are you suspecting me?
When you got the answers from me,
you copied them on paper.
And then you passed it to Claire.
Claire gave it to Baz.
Baz then passed it to Moo.
Am I right?
Lin.
Answer me.
-I didn't do it. -I just want to know why.
Right now, there's an innocent party
getting in trouble because of what happened.
But I didn't do it.
I would never do that to you.
You're my best friend.
Don't you believe me?
I guess I'm mistaken.
I'm sorry.
Please don't cry.
I'm sorry.
Can you set up a meeting with Moo for me?
I think I should talk to him myself.
Sure.
Thanks, Lin.
You sent the cheat sheet to Moo?
Yes.
You know how much I want a leading role.
Claire told me
that she wouldn't audition for the leading role
if I gave her the answers.
But I didn't know
that she was going to pass it to others.
What if Lin finds out?
She's going to hate me for going behind her back.
Tong, only you can help me out.
After all this time, you've never cared to talk to me.
You have never even looked me in the face.
When I took pictures of you in the play,
you never even thanked me once.
Now that you're tight in a corner,
you're trying to sweet-talk me, while holding my hand.
Isn't it too obvious?
If you want a scapegoat,
why don't you go to Pat instead?
Tong.
I ignored you because Pat told me to stay away from you.
What?
Pat didn't want me to get close to you
because he's jealous.
Really?
Really.
Tong, please help me out.
Lin.
Aren't you going to have lunch?
It's okay. I'm not hungry.
Have you told Moo I want to talk to him?
Yes.
He should come up here after he's done eating.
Lin.
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Is something wrong?
I gave Moo the cheat sheet.
What did you say?
It's me who gave Moo the cheat sheet.
Actually, I told him about Lin
and how I hired her to give me the answers.
Once he knew about this, he asked me to help him.
And then he brought Claire and Baz in.
I knew it.
I noticed the look in your eyes that day.
You can tell a liar by looking into their eyes.
Shit.
I don't understand though.
Why are you admitting it all of a sudden?
I know you'll figure it out one way or another.
It's best to come clean now.
Are you sure?
Well, say something.
I won't do it again.
Then you'll have to confess to Ms. Sirada
that the cheat sheet is yours.
Is that necessary?
You have to tell her
that you stole her test paper days before the exam
and made the cheat sheet.
Explain to her
how you passed the cheat sheet to Moo.
But I'll get penalized really bad.
Right, Lin.
If we do that, this matter will surely get to the headmistress.
Moo, Baz, and Claire will get in trouble too.
What if they get mad and rat us out?
Don't worry about them. I'll take care of it.
But Tong telling Moo about our business
has already put us in a tight spot.
There's also Bank,
who didn't do anything wrong and got caught up in this.
You must be responsible for this mess.
Lin.
Lin, hear me out first.
These days,
the hunt for the source of the cheat sheet has died down a bit already.
Ms. Sirada hasn't punished Bank either.
I don't think…
we have to get Tong to confess to her now.
I agree with Grace.
If Tong comes clean now,
there'll be a lot of fuss.
You said Pukester wasn't your weakness.
If Bank gets punished for cheating,
you'll have to step up and take responsibility.
Tong, please help me out.
What will I get in return?
What is it that you want?
What can you offer me?
Are you still trying to find the owner of the cheat sheet?
It doesn't matter now.
At least I believe I didn't do anything wrong.
It's okay.
Is there going to be another school play?
So fast.
Right.
Actually,
I'd like to see Grace play the lead.
Yes.
I think she is just as cute as Claire.
She might get it this time.
Is it weird if your words
make me jealous?
I'm possessive of Grace,
not you.
All right. Are you going home?
Could you give me a ride?
I don't want to take the bus.
Sure.
Thanks, everyone, for coming to the audition.
The production of this play might be a bit hasty
since it's short notice.
But I'd like to thank everyone
who volunteered to help out and make it happen.
However, about…
-Babe. -Yes?
Is something wrong? You're so quiet.
Nothing. I'm fine.
The AC is a bit too cold.
You guys must be wondering
who is going to get the role of Cinderella.
Here's the audition result.
As for the first role,
our leading lady,
Cinderella,
will be…
Claire!
-Congratulations. -You're great.
It's okay, babe.
You'll get the role next time.
And the next role,
Anastasia, the daughter of the step-mother.
The role goes to…
Grace.
Don't go home yet. I want to talk to you.
Where are you? I'm on stage.
Claire!
You promised me, didn't you?
You said you wouldn't audition for this role
if I gave you the answers in the exam.
How come you got the leading role? Explain it to me.
You know what?
Baz was so happy
when I passed him the cheat sheet.
He promised me
he'd let me play every leading role
until I graduate.
Why are you like this, Claire?
We're the same, Grace.
We want the leading role,
dying to be in the spotlight so much
that we can stab our friends in the back.
What now?
Are you going to tell on me?
Or are you going to tell Lin?
Do you want to be in a play that badly?
Being in a play is one of my high school dreams, you know.
Just to be in it,
any part I get is fine.
Please don't cry.
I'm sorry.
What can you offer me?
Anything.
Anything?
Really?
Yes.
