- [Brooke] There are plenty of great ways
to let a guy know you like him.
Flirt like mad, go on a special date,
or go with the gutsy option.
Tell him straight-up.
I swear, I was just about to go with gutsy.
But then, isn't it always better to be a bit different?
(energetic rock music)
- What, what are you doing?
Oh, you're gone.
- [Brooke] Looking back, I could've gone with something
a little more sophisticated.
But that certainly deserves some credit.
Because from that moment, I knew it.
I had one of those things only other girls have.
One of those things I swore I'd never fall for.
I had a boyfriend.
And the most surprising thing of all
is I think I know what all the fuss is about.
- [Amy] So how long have you been together?
- Two weeks, three days, and about minutes.
- But who's counting?
- You are so smitten.
- No way, we're just hanging out, having a good time.
- Totally smitten.
- Oh my god, it's you.
- Is she talking to us?
- Amy Reed, I was so hoping I'd run into you.
- So do I know you?
- You're my idle.
I swear, I love you.
- Right, this is Rach and Brooke.
- Can I have your autograph?
This is so fantastic.
You can sign here.
- You have a picture of Amy on your diary.
- She's a legend.
Can you make it out to Nell?
That's me, Nell Zumes.
I hope one day I can surf like you
and go to Solevu and everything.
- You like surfing?
- Love it, but I'm not very good.
- Oh, well, maybe if you go down to the beach sometime,
I can give you a few tips.
- That would be so cool.
- We should get going.
- Sorry, I didn't mean to hold you up.
See you soon, 'kay, Amy?
- Right, bye now.
- Did that really happen?
- What can I say?
Clearly, I'm a legend.
- Please.

(Rocket Science's "Dressed to k*ll")
- Eric, that last wave would've been called interference
because you blocked Corey.
I want you guys to hassle for the next wave,
but be careful of the interference rule.
- The boys are in full.
- The girls are going okay, too.
Amy's got your style.
- Not that good, is she?
- Not yet, but she might be.
If Rachel doesn't beat her to it.
- Where's Brooke?
- She's coming in now.
(Rocket Science's "Dressed to k*ll")
- Lost concentration.
- Hmm.
(Rocket Science's "Dressed to k*ll")
- How many days until the regionals?
- What was that?
- I don't know, I couldn't get balanced.
- Brooke, this is serious.
You've been letting things slip
for the last couple of weeks now.
- I don't understand, I've been training hard,
working hard on my technique.
- Technique is not the problem.
Look at Amy.
She does heaps of stuff outside of surfing.
When she's in the water, she is completely focused.
It's here, that's what you need to work on.
- That was great, Amy.
You nailed it.
- Thanks.
Now, would someone carry me home?
I'm blacked.
- [Nell] Hi, Amy.
- [Amy] Hey.
- Nell.
- Right, hey.
- Ready when you are.
- Sorry?
- You said if I was ever down at the beach,
you'd give me some tips.
- Right, I didn't necessarily mean this afternoon.
- I brought my board and everything.
I've been waiting for the last hour for you to finish.
- Oh.
- You did mean it when you said you'd help me?
- Nell, grab the board.
- [Nell] Ah.
- [Amy] You all right?
- [Nell] Ah.
Sorry.
- [Amy] It's okay, you can try it again.
- [Nell] Whoa.
- [Amy] Nell.
(laughing)
- Poor Amy.
- I know.
- And why are you smiling?
- Am I smiling?
- I think you are smiling.
- I'm going for a run.
- It'll be dinner soon.
- I'm not really hungry.
I'll see you later.
- Hang on, I'll come with you.
- [Brooke] It's all right.
- I want to.
- No.
I need to go on my own.
Timed trial.
- Sure.
- [Brooke] Focused?
I'm focused, I'm one of the most focused people I know.
(Brooke groans)
Watch where you're going.
Focus, remember?
Poor Mike, why did I have to snap at him?
I wonder what he's up to.
No, that is not allowed.
Focus.
Left foot, right foot, left, right, left, Mike.
(Brooke groans)
(energetic rock music)
- [Mike] I've saved you some dinner.
- Thanks.
- Might wanna heat it up in the microwave.
- Look, I'm sorry about before, being a weirdo.
- Luckily I like weirdos.
- My form is rubbish, Mike.
- You've had a bad day.
It happens.
- It's a focus thing.
I've got you in my head all the time.
- And that's bad?
I'm sorry.
Yes, that's very bad.
- The problem is we do everything together.
We surf together, we go to school together,
we do breakfast, lunch, dinner, the washing up.
We're always in each others' spaces.
- What are you saying?
You need some space.
- Yes, no, because that sounds bad,
like I don't wanna hangout with you.
- It's fine.
- Really?
- [Mike] Of course.
- But how?
- We need to limit the amount of time we spend together.
So every Saturday night, I'm taking you on a date.
- And the rest of the time?
- We treat each other as friends.
- Friends?
- Yeah, not enough good friends.
Acquaintances.
I'm just some guy you know, not very well,
who you don't even like very much.
You've got more important things to concentrate on.

- [Brooke] Okay, new day, focus.
(door knocks)
- Hi.
- Focus.
Sorry, Amy's still in our bathroom,
and I'll come back.
- No, don't.
I'm all done.
- [Brooke] Okay, so how am I supposed to stop thinking
about you when I can potentially bump into you
at any point in the day?
- Wow, your hair is really cute in the mornings.
That wasn't a complement, by the way,
like a boyfriend-type compliment.
I was just stating a fact.
The fact is, your hair is really cute.
I'm sounding like a boyfriend, aren't I?
- Mike.
- Okay, you know what?
We won't talk.
- What, at all?
- Until Saturday, ignore me.
I'm not even here.
- Okay.
- Neither are you.
- Well, you just opened the door to someone
who's not even here.
- Technical glitch, it won't happen again.
- Who cooked the bacon?
- You wanna complain, fry your own pig.
- No, I was just asking.
(upbeat rock music)
- Hey, Amy, could you pass the salt, please?
- Brooke, it's in front of you.
- It's better if you do it.
- What?
- She's invisible.
- She's what?
- So is he.
- Whatever turns you on.
(door knocks)
- We expecting anyone?
- [Nell] Hi, Amy.
- It's her.
I'm not here.
Corey, tell her I'm not here.
- Hi, Nell is it?
- Yep.
- You want Amy right?
- [Nell] Mm-hmm.
- Amy, what are you doing behind the bench?
- Hi, Nell.
- Hi, Amy.
- I was just cleaning something.
- Great bikini, just like yours.
- I hope you don't mind.
I saw it in the shop and--
- You two could be twins.
- I came early so we'd be finished before school.
- Could you excuse me for a tick?
Rach.
You have to come with me.
She's stalking me.
She's wearing my bikini.
- It looks better on you, I promise.
- Why do you find this funny?
She's seriously harassing me, and you think it's funny?
- I think it's funny
because you don't wanna be a megastar anymore.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- I thought you liked being a legend.
This high-profile thing, remember?
- I never liked it, but there was nothing I could do.
She's obsessed.
Okay, okay.
At first, maybe I was a teeny, weeny bit flattered,
but I really regret that.
Please come with me.
- Ready?
- Yes, and so is Rach.
She's a caring, loyal friend.
- Let's start the lesson by letting Amy
show us some moves.
- Okay, great.
These are really nice.
Can I borrow them?
- Just get out there, and whatever you do, do it badly.
- Where is everyone?
- The girls are taking a master class on the beach,
and Eric and Corey have gone to the library.
You two are the only ones left.
- Oh. - Oh

Can't do anything.
- It's okay, I know what to do.
My dad, he's sort of like a personal trainer.
He does a lot of work with the footy team.
He'd love to help.

He's liked you since day one.
- How do you know?
- It was obvious.
Anyway, he told me.
- He told you that he liked me?
- At the start, when we were all getting to know each other.
Mike and I used to hang out quite a lot.
He told me heaps of stuff, about France
and how he misses it sometimes,
the culture and everything.
You guys would've talked all about that.
- Yeah, heaps.
No, never.

- I think I might be.
Insane is actually the word.
Does everyone with a boyfriend act like a lunatic?
- Pretty much, yeah.
- Someone should warn you about that before you get one.
- I remember when I was in high school,
I fell for this guy, Greg Post.
- Good name.
- I was supposed to be studying for my half-yearly exams.
But we spent the whole time
smooching behind the science lab.
- Did you say smooching?
- Well, you know, whatever you kids call it.
- Was he a good smoocher?
- He was a great smoocher.
- So what happened?
- Oh, well, I failed my half-year exams,
and then I had to study my butt off to pass the finals.
- And what about Greg Post?
- Oh, he got top marks
and a scholarship to a private school.
Never saw him again.
- Unfair.
- Oh, well, I'd gone off him anyway.
- Why?
- I don't know, nose was too big.
- So what are you saying?
That I should split up with him?
Put surfing first?
- Uh, well, you're gonna hate my answer.
Only you can decide that.
- You're right, I hate that answer.

I know how much surfing means to you.
Wow, this really sucks.
- I've got this crazy idea.
- Yeah?
- Our date, can we put it off for awhile?
Until this whole Solevu thing's finished.
Surf-off and everything?
- That's six months.
That's a long time to wait for a date.
