Hey, Luis!
-Where are you going? -To the classroom.
Why don't you say hi? I thought we were friends.
-Say hi. -But you're not.
Or are you two friends, Luis?
I don't think so.
See?
Listen, we're a bit busy here.
Yeah, I can see that, but that's my locker over there.
Oh, right. Sorry about that.
Just give us a few minutes and we'll be out of here.
Did you cut your hair, Gerry?
It looks great on you. Did you cut it yourself?
Or was it your mom?
Ernesto could get his cut as well, when he gets rid of his dandruff.
You should get a shampoo for that.
You've had it since we started high school.
But you're not as bad as Dario.
That thing on your lips is herpes, right?
Did you get it from Valeria, from 1-B?
I think she's the only one that has it.
-She's your cousin, right? -Shut up.
-Will you move, please? -Your jokes are good.
Really, they are,
but why don't you give us a moment?
We'll leave once we...
You're the ones standing in my way.
Look.
Freak.
You'll get yourself in trouble one of these days.
And I wouldn't like that.
You should try to behave, all right?
Gerry, based on your grades
and how little you come to school,
statistically, you'll end up worse than me.
Let's go. She's nuts, bro.
Come on.
-I'll see you in class. -Leave her, dude.
You win. Congratulations.
Let her keep fighting your fights. She's good.
Take care of your stuff. Crazy people tend to lose their stuff.
Sure.
Luis, I'll see you later.
Thank you, Sofi.
Can I put my stuff away now?
Yeah.
You have problems with your teachers, your classmates,
your grades...
At least I ain't failing them.
Yeah, you're not, but you never finish your exams.
I get bored.
Sofia, you only answer enough of them to get a B.
I do well in sports.
Yeah, you're right.
You have an A+ there.
Well, we both know this is important to your mom.
She needs you to adjust and to stay well.
I try to understand you, I swear. I know this has been hard for you,
I know your dad's death has been difficult.
Even more so after what happened last year.
I don't want to talk about it.
It won't happen again.
Hey, would you like a condom?
Nice!
It's Friday. Come on.
Come on, Pablo. Stop, dude.
Good morning.
Dario, Ernesto, sit down. Isabela, stop kissing Pablo.
-Reprimand them, teacher! -Let's begin our class.
Take a seat, everyone. Come on.
First of all, we have a new student at our National School.
Let's welcome our new classmate, Javier Williams.
Javier, will you introduce yourself?
Hi, everyone.
No, come on. Stand up and let everyone see you.
Go ahead.
Hi, I'm Javier.
I'm the new guy.
You don't say. You're Damian Williams' son.
-The soccer player? -Yeah.
Get out of here! Your dad is a legend!
-Dario, please. -Your dad is God, man.
He used to be.
-Can I sit now? -Yes, of course.
Back here.
We need to find someone to do this assignment with you.
I have no problem.
-We can do it together... -No.
-Sofia... -What?
Javier will work with you.
-Just what he needed. -Silence!
Silence, please. Sit next to Sofia so you can get to know each other.
Don't forget that our next class will be held in our laboratory.
So, bring all your labcoats.
Careful, friend.
I must tell you, she's nuts.
She was in a psychiatric institution.
We'll learn about the cells, all right?
Silence.
Cells and their parts. You should know this already.
Can anyone remember? Who can tell me their different parts?
-Hey, Willy! -How are you?
How was it with the nutjob?
Do you want to sit with us?
So, what's the deal with your dad?
Is he that buff or is it TV magic?
Dude, stop asking shit.
Really, is he banging Miss Mexico?
-Is she your stepmother? -I need to go to the bathroom.
-Where is it? -I'll show you.
-I can find it myself, thanks. -Sure?
-It's that way. -See you guys later.
Over there.
-Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.
My name is Natalia Alexander. My sister, Maria, will give you a leaflet.
National Night is much more than a party.
It's an event where our students can learn all kinds of important skills.
It's an excuse for teenagers to drink alcohol and get high.
Last year, a sophomore girl from was abused.
Ma'am, please!
Those were just rumors.
Go ahead, Natalia.
And again this year,
I'll preside over the committee in charge of organizing National Night.
So rest assured my priority is your children's safety.
This year will be incredible.
National Night, NONA.
"None-a" the students will want to miss it.
I was...
I was thinking that I should tell my friends.
Really?
Hey. You knew I was going to tell them.
If I've held out, it's more for you than for me,
but I'm no liar. Do you understand?
Of course I understand, babe, but...
you need to understand. We both know your friends.
You tell one of them and the whole school will find out.
Besides, there are mostly idiots in this school.
The biggest idiots are your friends.
That's my point! I know what I'm talking about.
What are you doing there?
Wait, stay there. Don't move. I'll help you.
Come on. What were you thinking?
What you're doing is very stupid.
Stop laughing! This isn't right.
Stay there. Don't move.
What do you think I'll do?
Listen to me. Once I get to you, give me your hand.
Let's see.
If you need someone to talk to, I'm here.
Don't worry.
-This isn't necessary. -Hey, it's okay. Really.
Sit here.
Dude, do you really think I'd be here if this was dangerous?
-I better lay down, okay? -Okay.
What are you doing up here?
-I'm observing. -What exactly do you see?
Seeing and observing are two different things.
You see the people down there?
-Yeah. -Good.
Right now, Raúl will come into view.
He'll sit on that bench in the middle of the schoolyard.
As soon as he gets there,
he'll give Ernesto and Dario some money.
Those roaches.
-Then, he'll sit next to Gerry. -What's up?
Although they don't get along.
Hey, man. Get me some chips, okay?
-I've got no money. -I do, idiots.
-Here. -Which ones?
It doesn't matter. You choose.
-See? -With her cousin, yeah.
Natalia will come into the picture right about...
now.
Natalia hates everyone.
She just hangs with them for status.
-Want something to eat? -I'll stay here with them.
Maria is her sister. She...
Maria and Natalia are nothing like each other.
The only two left are Pablo and Isabela, the high school sweethearts.
They always spend 15 minutes inside the cleaning closet.
And here comes...
Alex, ignoring them.
She doesn't relate to anybody.
Well, maybe Luis.
But he just lives in his drawings,
where he escapes reality.
-How did you do that? -I observe them. I told already you.
Look.
You're tan. That means you spend a lot of time under the sun.
I guess you play soccer, like your dad.
But you were nervous when that was mentioned in class.
No way! Your dad is a legend!
You don't get along with him.
That's why he bought you a new watch
and a gold bracelet.
Your expensive cellphone.
I guess he must be trying to compensate.
And you must have younger siblings.
You have a kitten sticker on your backpack.
What number am I thinking?
It doesn't work like that.
Seven.
And the rest of my money?
Hey, what's up with Rosita?
She's coming. Is she sitting with us?
Yes.
-Hi! -Oh, Jesus!
Gerardo. Gerardo, stop it!
If you're going to do that, find someplace else to do it.
-Don't be envious. -It's not that, Rosita.
If someone sees you here, they'll think anyone can sit with us.
That's stupid.
-Come on, Natalia. -Really, Rosita.
You idiot! Don't you know how much this cost?
Are you jealous?
Just leave Rosita alone. Come on.
Oh, poor Rosita. She should learn her place.
Come on, let's begin.
Put your backpacks over there, please.
And come back to the court.
Come on!
With spirit, people! Hurry up. There's no time.
Well done!
War and Peace?
-Tolstoy. -What is it about?
Well...
A bunch of Russians fall in love.
Then, they go to war and they get depressed.
That's basically it.
Your shirt is on backwards.
Thanks.
-Is that okay? -Yeah.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
-Javier Williams. -What's up?
-Hi. -It's a pleasure.
-How are you doing? -I'm fine.
Listen.
I saved a special spot for you
on our soccer team.
Turn around, yeah.
Move.
With Damian Williams' son, I'm sure we'll win the championship.
Thank you, but I don't play soccer.
Can I go to the nurse's office? I'm not feeling very well.
Yes, go.
Listen, children.
Start running, five laps. Keep a good pace.
Let's warm up.
-Come on, go. -Teach...
I can't find my cellphone.
So?
Do you need it to run?
Come on, ladies.
Come on! Move it!
Come on!
-What's up? -Dude!
-How's it going? -Where are you going?
Defend yourself, bro.
She doesn't care about you.
Don't be afraid, man. We're just playing.
She can't defend you.
-Stand up for yourself, man. -Do you like tickles?
Yeah, that's it! That's it!
Come on, defend yourself.
Defend yourself. Do it.
Come on, do something!
Hit him, dude.
Cat got your tongue?
Punch me, come on. Give me all you've got.
-We're friends. -Come on!
You can't stand up for yourself?
-He doesn't understand you. -Really? You won't?
Fucking hell!
Let's see if you put up a fight after this.
Are these your drawings?
-Not that! -Stand back, asshole.
Take it easy. Relax.
His parents do love him.
-Don't do it! -Let's see.
-Maybe this will snap you out of it. -Relax, man!
What dumb drawings, bro.
A big dick!
-They are very pretty. -Motherfucker.
And you do this at school?
Let's see.
Maybe you'll react now. Pay attention.
-Give me my drawings! -Hey, asshole!
Give my drawings back!
Stop it, Gerry! That's enough!
That's right, bro.
That's what I want from you. I want you to stand up for yourself.
Don't let someone else defend you.
But it's too late, man. I gave you a chance.
It's over, man.
Hey.
-I need to take a leak. -Shut up!
Turn him around.
-They're talking to you. Turn around. -Hey...
Look. Watch closely.
Look.
Look at that!
He's watching.
-Come on, stop it. -You never defend yourself.
-Stop it, man. -All right, that's enough.
You're done here.
Assholes.
He had options.
He can cry or he can fight back.
If he chooses to cry, he's an idiot.
Luis, take it.
Grab this and get yourself a new backpack.
-Get out of here. -Let's go, man.
When will you stop this?
The day he starts fighting back.
Why don't you mess with this guy instead?
I mess with whoever I want.
Let's go.
-Is he your boyfriend or what? -You went too far.
What's up?
There are other empty seats.
Yeah, but I wanted to sit next to you.
Look, the freak isn't stupid.
Do you think someone like him would be interested in her?
Of course not.
It'd be nice to see her with someone. She's always alone.
-Maria, please. -Are you for real?
What's the gym teacher's name?
-Güero? -Excuse me?
-Güero. -Güero?
Why does he let you read in class? Instead of running.
Because I found his dog once.
Well, I found his ex, which had stolen his dog.
Damn, there are no seats left.
Gerardo. Gerry, ready?
-I was looking for a seat. -Sit down, please.
Okay. Very well.
Juniors, thank you for coming today.
Some time ago, maybe not too long...
Come in, please. Look.
There is an empty seat over here.
In the front.
Silence.
Take a seat, please, Luis.
Very well. As I was saying,
you may not believe it,
but not too long ago,
human beings were able to live without this.
Maybe it could've been better, maybe worse. I don't know.
But the truth is we weren't slaves to these things.
It's fake.
The point is, it's necessary,
but not essential.
We need to regulate its use.
Our friends from the multimedia department helped us with a video named
"Using Cellphones Responsibly."
I ask that you all pay attention,
because helping is part of the spirit of the National School.
So, watch this closely. Bruno?
Could you play it, please? Thank you.
Who is Isabela de la Fuente?
Bruno, I don't think that's the one.
Wow, such a fine ass!
Hey, dogs. Easy there!
Bruno! Take that off the screen!
What is it?
Turn it off! Do something!
It's a dude!
Boys have penises!
Girls have vaginas.
Let's see those balls!
Boys have penises.
Girls have vaginas.
Make a wish.
Turn on the lights! Isabela!
Put your cellphones away!
Why didn't you tell us?
I was going to.
I'm not ashamed, really. I'm not.
But I didn't want it to be like this.
Now, everybody will see me as a monster.
If you look up that account, only that video is there.
What's up, Will?
It's Williams.
Can I have a second?
Okay.
Isa, you didn't have to go through this alone.
That's what friends are for.
"What happens if your parents found out what you did?"
What is this?
That's not important. Keep reading, please.
"Choose one of your friends and your secret stays safe"
You chose Isabela?
Are you dumb?
-It's so funny you're gay. -Hey, wait up!
-Isa? Where is Isa? -She's in the bathroom.
I know I fucked up.
But, Sofia, you need to understand. I thought this was only a joke.
-Isa! -But I know now it's not.
This asshole's not answering my texts.
You'll obviously blow her off now.
-That's not the right bathroom. -So gross!
Penis battle!
-Did you cut your penis off? -Shut up!
Shut up.
Why did you do this to me?
I don't understand.
The thing is we didn't know you had a penis.
Shut up, asshole!
You lied to me.
Of course I didn't.
I trusted you.
-Fucking gross. -Shut up!
-You're an idiot. -Isa, let's go.
Wait, I really want to ask you something.
Did you have the surgery?
What do I have to do with all this?
You notice things everybody else misses.
I know you can find him.
Is there anything left?
Stop it already!
Did you have the surgery?
Hey, stop it.
Wait. You need to stop this right now.
Come with me.
What the hell are you filming?
Okay.
Just like that?
I also want to know who'd do such a thing.
-What's going on? -Nothing.
-You don't have to follow me around. -I know, but I want to.
I can see your purse.
What do you want?
I want to talk about what happened to Isabela.
You're being extorted too, right?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You stole Isabela's phone in gym class.
You said you weren't feeling well, but you never made it to the nurse's.
What do I say?
She won't stop crying.
Hey, Natalia.
Why don't you come out?
Sofia's just trying to help you.
I'm Javier, the new guy.
And if you ask me, today was pretty weird.
But I had a good time either way.
Come on. Come out.
We're not here to judge.
If Isabela finds out, she'll kill me.
It wasn't your fault.
The guy extorting you wanted to know if you'd betray your best friend.
But I didn't want to do it!
So, who uploaded the video?
The only one that wasn't paying attention when the thing started.
Leaving already, Gerry?
Why are you so obsessed with me, Sofi?
I don't know. I keep seeing you everywhere.
I know what you're hiding.
It was you! You sent the message.
Listen to me.
If anyone finds out, it won't end well for you.
-It wasn't me! -You won't get away with this.
-Oh, it wasn't you? -No, Gerry. Now I know it was you.
You played Isabela's video so no one would know your secret.
-I have no secrets. -You don't?
Good luck.
And you need to choose your friends better.
She's not good for you.
You're the one who should be worried, Gerry.
Someone is paying close attention to you and your friends.
And leave Luis alone!
Luis, stop, please! What happened to you?
-It was an accident. -An accident?
How? Where? What happened?
I fell, Mom.
-It was an accident. -And your backpack?
Where is it? No way. Quintanilla will listen this time.
-Mom! -No!
Please. Let's go.
Son, please. If you don't tell me, I'll have to talk to him.
I'll tell you all about it at home. Let's go now.
What if you tell Quintanilla?
He'll just tell me to stay out of it.
I want to know who did it.
We could try to find out.
I think it could be fun.
-Give me your phone. -What for?
For the science project.
Don't worry about that. I'll do the project myself.
I'm sure you'll get a B+.
I thought you didn't know how to laugh.
You've got people skills.
Maybe that will be useful.
So, I guess I made my first friend at school.
No.
I already have a lot of friends.
I'm almost done.
How do you like it?
I think I like it, but...
it's 200 pages too long.
-This is a beautiful edition. -Do you know why I gave it to you?
-Why? -It was your dad's favorite book.
Really?
He liked it because despite everything, at the end, they find hope.
Leave it for your book club.
Let's play!
Sofi, I'm home!
Sofi?
I'm home. How was school today?
It was good.
It wasn't as boring as usual.
Jesus, he's here and I haven't changed yet.
Is he having dinner here again?
Yes, honey. He wants to spend more time with you. Give him a chance.
And he's bringing you that Chinese food you love so much.
Could you get the door while I go change? Thanks!
Sure, Nora.
Hi.
Hi, Sofia.
Thank you.
Thanks.
