Hello, Dizzy. What did I do to you now? When did you do this to my uniform?
>> You're still standing there. Fight.
>> What did I ever do to you all? This is a crime to be here.
>> It's a very big crime for you to be in this school. Don't you get You're a very poor rated child. You're not supposed to be in this school at all.
>> Bets of a feather fl is it but you're just reading everything. You're doing >> right to be in the school as much as you do.
>> Ah, that's the janitor's daughter.
>> Guess what they say is really true.
Birth of s.
>> Well, I'll say the same about you, too.
>> You do know you're still in my book.
Yes.
You know, if I were you, I would just get out of here and mind my business.
>> Can't believe you all are seniors.
You're supposed to live by example. How can you be bullying your fellow students? Why? Because she's here on scholarship. That's not fair.
>> I understand [music] why you're defending her.
She's poor. You're poor. She's here on scholarship and likewise you too.
Now this should be the first and last time that you meddle in my business. I am going to excuse you because you're just a small child that got into secondary school and you it's getting into your head. Do you understand that? But since you've decided to defend the less privileged, [laughter] >> well, it's only right to put you in the same position we gave her.
Don't Don't me.
>> You should get yourself dried up.
>> Oh, thank you.
>> I saw the whole scene. I was a bit disappointed though because [music] I thought you were going to pick them up or something with the way you imagine.
I'm joking though. I I really love the fact that you [music] stood up to them.
Um you reminded me of someone. [music] >> Who's that?
>> Um just a friend. She also used to stand up to bullies too. I'm Sebastian.
>> I'm Chzo. Okay, thank you. Um you >> No, no, you can keep it. I have others.
>> Okay, thank you.
Um, I [snorts] so sorry about what happened.
>> It's fine. It's not your fault.
You know, I don't know why you let them bully you like this. You should report to somebody [snorts] and you think I have not tried.
I used to do that when I first got here, but I realized they do absolutely nothing about it.
>> Why?
[snorts] Jess's father owns the school. But that doesn't give her the right to treat you anyhow.
>> It's not her fault.
If [music] only I was from a rich home and not here on scholarship. He he would have been different.
It's okay. Why would he do that?
They shouldn't mute you because her father owns the school.
Look, you're here on merit. That means you deserve to be here by all means.
This is a school for crying out loud.
A school for the rich. It's a school for the rich.
What I don't get is why they give scholarship when they know they're not ready to treat everybody equally.
I'm just tired.
>> If only we had money, [laughter] >> I would have left. Sorry. But not [laughter] what you get when you roll when you know how to pay the price. The road is not.
>> So how was school today?
>> And the school was fine. And you remember that that girl that walked in on us the other day while we were cleaning the insolent one.
>> Oh, you wouldn't imagine that she bullies her fellow SS3 students. Why? Because she came into the school on scholarship.
>> Wait.
>> And her friends stand by and do nothing.
>> She bullies a student because she's in school on scholarship.
>> Yes.
>> I hope they don't bully my dim noi too.
Dimn nobi. Do they bully you because you're in school on scholarship?
>> Do not be on scholarship.
lost my appetite.
>> Do they bully her too?
>> No, they don't bully her.
But don't think she's on [music] scholarship.
You're on scholarship, too.
>> If anybody finds out, I'll deal with you. Seriously, >> I didn't say I was going to tell anybody.
>> Better.
I I didn't think you'd pour water on me even after she told you to. I was surprised.
>> Well, it wouldn't have happened if you had just minded your business.
But you know those girls are not your friends, right? I mean friends are people who would accept you for who you are, not what you have.
These are people you need to pretend around just so they can accept you.
Look, what if they realize that you've been lying to them?
>> Auntie, mind your business.
They were pulling Amar today and you said nothing about it. You're protected today because >> I said you should mind your business.
Look, what if they find out that you're on scholarship?
>> Oh, yeah. Get out of my room now.
>> I got to do what I got. I got it.
>> That's the game.
>> So, I got to do what I got to do. I got to do whatever [music] it takes. I just want to stay in the game.
I don't want to be the >> guy. Guy, forget that thing. See, >> wait. Wait. Do Do you know what you do?
Just go home, cry this weekend, and come and see me on Monday. Guy, >> I'm coming. I'm coming.

>> Yeah. Bye.
Um, Kora Kora, hold on.
Um, hi >> Leon.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Um, I was wondering if we could talk.
>> Oh, >> about what exactly?
>> I wasn't talking to you, D.
>> If you're talking to my friend, you're talking to me.
>> Look, Leon, I have nothing to say to you. So, please stop bothering me.
So he fell from the step.
[laughter] >> What was he thinking?
Some of these boys can be so stubborn.
>> And he broke his arms.
>> Oh, can you imagine?
>> Where are you coming from? The noi.
>> Um I I had to use the internet to do an assignment.
And since I don't have a phone, I had to use my friend's phone.
>> Oh, I'm saving up for a phone for you. I'll get you one as soon as I can.
>> Okay, I'm going inside.
>> Your food is in the kitchen.
[music] I was saying his arms after that.
>> What do you want?
See, I can't dim.
>> Have you been drinking?
>> Oh, yeah. Get out of my room.
>> Get out of my room now.
You know, I I came to ask you why you didn't use my phone since I have one now. But came here and I started perceiving this weird smell from you.
How many times have I told you to mind your business?
And if my mom finds out about this, I will kill you.
>> I hope you realize that these friends are not people you should be hanging out [music] with.
Please, before it's too late, I'll be going. Bye-bye. Please take care of yourself.

Thanks for always brightening up my days. I hope this makes you grow, makes your day as you always make mine. And your the bad English. Who is this?
>> I I have no idea.
>> Perfect.
Babe, I'm I'm really sorry.
Are you really not going to talk to me?
>> I'm tired of this already. Why does our relationship have to be a secret?
>> Because >> Because of what?
>> Because of Daisy.
>> Babe, Daisy and I have been friends since primary school.
>> And I'm not saying you shouldn't be friend with Daisy. All I'm saying is I want my my girlfriend to recognize me in public places. I [snorts] want to be able to hold your hands in the school. I want to g with you, sit with you. Is that too difficult to ask?
>> Babe, we've talked about this already.
This year and I made a pact long before we got into high school that we would never date a guy in the same school as we are. I'm I'm really sorry. I I don't want to break that part.
>> But you already did the moment to tell it.
>> She doesn't know.
>> Why do you care so much about Daisil and what she has to say? Why?
>> She is my friend, Leon.
>> And what am I? Who am I? I'm your boyfriend.
>> You know that love letter you sent to me was really a bad idea. But if your name was written on it, everyone would have known about us.
>> Wait, wait, wait, wait. Is this what you are really worried about right now?
Come on. Why do you care so much about what people has to say than how your boyfriend feels?
>> Come on. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just trying to sorry.
>> You know what? I'm done with this. I can't I I can't continue with this relationship.

What sort of relationship is this, Kora?
>> I just said I'm sorry. I'm >> I said I'm done. Just just just get out.
>> Babe, please.
>> Life is not >> Okay, fine. You don't want to leave.
Just stand.
>> But life is not.
What you get when you roll the dice is when you know how to pay the price. The road is not clear, but the road is not dark.
What you see when you flash your lights is when you know how you drive the night.
The high steps on the law.
>> I'm going to the market to sell some pure water. See how much money I can make today since I'm not going to the school to play.
>> Okay. Bye-bye.
>> Okay.
>> And wait for me. I'm coming.
>> What are you doing? I'm coming to help you since I'm not doing anything in this house.
>> B, please just go inside and rest. Oh, >> well, I'm not doing anything in this house. Let me just follow you and help you.
>> Oh, it doesn't make sense for you to come and h water with me. Bikon, you're not used to it. Oh, please.
>> Meet me outside then.
Hey, this girl.
>> Mommy, um, please can you help me get cucumber? I need it for my skincare routine.
I should buy you cucumber for your skin care.
Why don't you follow me to the market to get it? Since your cousin has already insisted on coming with me, mommy. So, because I asked you to help me buy cucumber, we're not asking me to follow you to the market.
>> Okay, don't worry. Don't buy the noi.
You know that since you got into this school, you have changed a lot.
The dim I knew would be happy to walk water with me.
You have changed.
I don't want to fade with the night. I just want to shine like [snorts] >> I should follow you to the market. Me a whole me Britney. Follow you to the market to go and hawk water so so that somebody will not see me on the road. So I got to do what I got to do. I got to do whatever it takes.

>> Yeah. How are you?
>> I'm very fine, sir.
>> Um do you live around here?
>> Yes, just down the street.
>> Okay. Um um where are you coming from?
>> I'm coming from the market. Um I help my auntie sell water.
>> Oh, okay. Um and where is your auntie?
Well, she told me to go home since she's going to stay out here nightfall.
>> Okay. Um, is your house far from here?
>> A little bit. Just is a little bit far.
Yes.
>> Okay. Um, so I can walk you.
>> Are you not busy?
>> No, I'm just, you know, walking around.
>> Okay, if you say so. Let's go.
[laughter] >> So, she you always go to the market?
>> No, actually, I just wanted to help my auntie.
>> Okay.
>> Yes. Today.
>> All right. But but your house is not far from here. It's a little bit far, you know, if you go across that street.
>> Oh, >> so this is my house.
>> Oh, okay. Here.
>> Yes.
>> So, um, this is where you come school from every day.
>> Of course.
>> Is it not too far?
>> It is, but I guess I don't have a choice.
>> Okay.
>> Okay. Thank you.
So here.
>> Oh, so you live here with just your aunt?
>> No, I live here with my cousin. Oh, here she is.
D, look who we have here.

Are you okay?
>> Sorry. Sorry.
>> Oh, >> yeah.
Come here.
>> What do you think you just did?
>> I didn't do anything. You just wanted to walk me home and that's all.
>> Couldn't you have said no? Eh, and what did I tell you about telling people we know each other?
>> I'm sorry.
>> I'm sorry. You are very lucky you didn't see me here. If not, they would have broken this your head. Oh, bish. [music] And stop bringing people into this house.
>> Um, Mr. S for me. I'm going to our office. Cora.
>> Cora.
>> Yeah.
>> Are you okay? Is there something on your mind? Mm-m. It's nothing. What's up?
>> I said I'm going to meet today's office.
She stands for me.
>> Oh, okay. No problem. I'll see you later.
Um, please can we talk?
Mom, you sent for me.
>> I did. Sit.
I was going through the score sheets for your classmate test and I discovered your performance has dropped.
I do not know the reason for this drop in your performance.
But I want to remind you of something that this school saw something in you and that was why we awarded you a scholarship to come study here.
What I'm saying is that if your grades keeps going down like this, the school will assume that we made a big mistake with you and you are at risk of losing your admission.
If I were you, I would sit down [music] and work harder.
>> Thank you, ma.
>> Hey. Um, >> hi.
>> Um, wait, please, why does it look like you've been avoiding me recently?
>> Cuz I am.
>> I don't want to fade with the night. I just want to shine like the morning sun and in my zone having peace of mind but these streets are loyal.
>> You don't hear what I'm saying to you.
>> I will not kneel down.
>> Why would I kneel down when I didn't do anything?
>> I can kneel now.
>> You won't tell me what to do and I will not kneel down because I didn't do ANYTHING TO YOU.
>> I'M TALKING TO ME. I SAY SHE KNEEL DOWN.
>> What's going on here?
>> Can you imagine this bloody genius student? I am asking you to kneel down and you're saying no to me. You can't just obey a kneel down. Your question should be what did I do? You can't just TELL ME TO BE MAD.
>> LOOK, don't you ever touch me again. I'm not Amara. I am Chiazo. Respect that.
In front OF YOU, [laughter] GET INSIDE THE CLUSTER. GET INSIDE. [screaming] OUT.
I SAID GET INSIDE NOW.
[music] >> [music] [music] [music] >> Hey Daisy, [music] >> what were you doing with that dirty cleaner outside?
>> Me?
>> Yes, you.
>> No, nothing. No. Um, she she was just asking for direction to somewhere.
>> It doesn't look like that. It looks like you two know each other.
>> Me and her?
>> No, there's nothing. Just good >> because I would need your help in punishing her and her useless daughter.
>> Punishment?
>> Yes.
>> What kind [music] of punishment?
>> When the time is right, you would know.
>> You should only be seen in time.
>> Well, that's good. [music] That's good.
Hey. Um, I was actually waiting for you.
>> Um, what's for?
I don't I didn't understand what you said earlier.
>> You don't want to know.
>> But I'm here, aren't I?
>> I feel like you're not being true to yourself.
>> What do you mean by I'm not being true to myself.
>> I mean, the first time we met, you lied about this being your house.
>> But I said I was joking.
>> Were you? You know, there are a whole lot of other things you lied about and the people you hang out with, the way you bully other people.
Look, I I just feel like you're putting a whole lot of effort just to be friends with them, and you're losing yourself in the process.
>> Who do you think you are, >> Britney?
>> You know nothing about me or my life, so you don't get to judge me.
>> Britney, >> you know what? I don't blame you. I blame myself for waiting to talk to you.
>> And keep your thoughts to yourself.
Mommy, you called me.
[snorts] >> What did you say is your reason for wearing that short tight uniform in school today?
>> But I already told you my uniform got stained. My period started in class. Was it not just two weeks ago you asked me for money to get sanitary pad?
>> I'm seeing my period for the second time this month.
>> Since when did you start seeing your period twice a month?
>> Why are you acting like I'm lying to you? Why would I lie about seeing my period?
>> I did not say you were lying. I am just trying to understand how you see your period two times a month.
>> No. Mommy, do you want me to take off my clothes and show you?
>> They not be.
>> No, you always act like I'm lying to you. I'm supposed to be your daughter.
You don't even trust me. Dimnobi chimn.
What did I say wrong now?
>> Auntie did not.
>> I don't want to fade with the night. I just want to shine [music] like the morning sun and in my zone having peace of mind.
But these streets [music] they try to break my bones.
Oh no. No. So I [music] got to do what I got to do. I got to do whatever it takes. I just want to stay in the game.
Stay in the game. So I got to do what I got to do. I got to do whatever it takes.
>> Here you are. I finally come up with a plan. A plan for the janitor.
I'm going to say she stole my money. And you right here, you're going to help me convince Miss Y that you saw her stealing my money.
>> What?
I'm sorry. I I can't do that. Why?
Because she's old enough to be my mother and I can't just lie about something like that. Doesn't make any sense.
>> She's not your mother.
>> I know. That's not what I said. I'm just It just feels It just feels somehow.
>> Huh?
>> Okay. So I need you to understand that if you don't do this favor for me, you are out of my click.
>> What?
>> You have to the end of class today to give me an answer.
They try to break my bones.
Oh no. No.
Leon. Leon. Leon, please.
>> What is it, >> Leon? Why have you been ignoring me?
>> Hey, I'm good, bro.
>> Why have you been ignoring me?
>> Cora, what do you want?
>> For us to talk.
>> Talk about what? I have nothing to say to you.
>> Come on. Come on. Come on, Leon. I really need us to talk.
>> I have a class work to do.
>> Please, you can't just leave me. Come on.
Town will be over now. You can leave.
So, have you given a thought to what I told you?
>> I'm sorry, Daisy, but I can't.
>> You can't? So, you decided to choose that smelly woman over your friends?
>> Daisy, I'm not choosing anyone over anybody. It's just that it doesn't make any sense to me.
>> It doesn't make any sense.
>> What's going on here?
>> It's very simple. From now on, She's not part of us.
>> Why? Let's go.
>> I said let's go.
Troy in paradise.
I'm I'm sorry. I didn't I didn't mean to sound like that.
>> Doesn't matter. You already said it.
>> Let's [music] Let's go together.
>> I didn't ask. [laughter] >> It's okay. [gasps] >> I had [clears throat] no idea you were this smart.
>> Of course I am. I got into this school on school.
>> What?
>> What?
>> You were going to say something?
>> No, nothing.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah. So, how was school in London, right?
>> It was horrible.
>> Horrible?
>> Yeah. I used to get bullied because of my accent and because I was black.
>> Wow. I'm so sorry to hear that.
>> No, it's fine. Thank you. But but I had someone that was standing up for me and because of her I learned how to stand up for myself.
>> Oh, it's good you had a friend like that.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, the truth is that people will always try to oppress whatever is different from them. See, all my life I've been bullied and I've had to endure bullying. So, when I got into this school, I knew I had to do what I had to do >> by joining the bullies. Why not make a difference and maybe stop the bullying?
>> I know Zabas doesn't work that way. You see, the thing is, as long as there is a school, there will always be bullies.
So, experience has taught me that if you can't beat them, then you have to join them.
>> But that's selfish.
>> But at least you're safe now, right?
That's what I'm trying to do. Be safe.
The world isn't fair to people like me.
people like you. What does that mean?
>> Oh, um I guess I should walk you home.
>> Oh, no. It's fine. Um >> I insist.
>> I insist.
>> I insist.
>> I insist, too.
>> Are you sure?
>> Yes.
>> So, good afternoon, Mommy. Mhm.

>> Thank you. By the way, good night.
Um, cheers, Zaka. I'm leaving. Oh, I'm coming.
Okay, let's go.
My god, I can't believe I'm actually walking to school with my favorite cousin. It's an achievement to be walking with me.

Now that's that was what you told me to do.
>> Amara, then you joined us in booting because she has no name attached because she's poor. She's coming from a very poor background. But meanwhile, you are as wretched as anyone can ever be.
>> Please, trust me. When I get to school, I [laughter] will please please help. You can't tell anyone. Please, please.
>> I will make sure I'll tell everyone in school [music] where you come from. Your mom is a commoner. She's a cleaner in school and she has no name attached to her.
