I don't have to hide my amazing boyfriend anymore.

No. Okay, let me fix it. Let me... Tao!

No! That's unfair, though! That's unfair.

- Twist it. - Yeah. Yeah. Okay, ready?
Okay, yeah.
- Which way are we going? - To the left a little bit.
- Left a bit. - Perfect.
You should, uh... invite him tonight.
- No. I don't know. - Just tell him we need more chaperones.
No.
- Just a peek. - N...
Right.
Got it.
Oh my God. D'you think they're actually dating?
- Apparently. - This way?
- Go and ask. - I need to do these two.
You go ask. Go on.
Is it true you guys are going out?
Yeah.
- I didn't know you were gay, Nick. - Well, I...
I'm bi, actually, but yeah.
I think you guys look so cute together. I told you!
- I didn't believe you. - I said, didn't I?
Do you wanna stop and get something to eat?
- We can walk to the shop. - I'll eat later.
I had a really late breakfast, so...
You can though.
Where are the feather boas? They're needed for the photo.
- Looks good. - Well, Elle did most of it.
That makes sense.
Crisp?
I saw your Instagram post.
- Yeah. - And the comments.
They're all idiots for assuming you're straight.
And I'm including myself in that statement.
Thanks.
Charlie must be really happy.
In some ways. Yeah.
I mean, he... he says he's really happy, but...
I don't know. I think he's been finding all the attention, like, a lot.
Well, yeah. He hates attention, so...
I'm just worried.
How come?
I think...
the more I learn about him,
the more I think
that the bullying and all the things that happened to him in the past,
they all really affected him.
And... And he still carries it all with him.
Even though it's over.
It still causes him a lot of pain.
- I don't know. Do you think that's true? - Yeah. Yeah, I... I do.
I think when something really bad happens, it can affect you for a really long time.
Like,
my dad died when I was 12, and,
you know,
I think a lot of the reason I get so freaked out about losing my friends
and... losing Elle
is because losing him was just, like...
Yeah.
- I... I didn't know about your dad. - Oh.
Don't... Don't be weird about it.
- I'll try. - Good.
You know the bullying? You know how bad it was, don't you?
I mean, I heard some stuff, but, um,
yeah, Charlie never really talked to me about it.
Me neither.
- Can you close your eyes? - Why?
Because I'm nervous you'll think I look weird.
Okay. I'm not looking,
but for the record, I think you always look cute.
Nick,
I can't believe you're my boyfriend.
Can I please open my eyes now?
Okay.
D... D... Does it look bad?
No, you look
so good.
You look so good!
Shut up!
How about we don't go to prom? We just stay here instead.
No, we have to go. Everyone's expecting us to go together now.
Ah. Yeah.
And a big public appearance as a couple, that's...
That's definitely what we want?
Yeah.

And she hasn't been replying to my messages.
So I was just, uh...
Is she okay?
And how would I know that?
Do you know where she is?
She had another one of her tantrums last night.
Over an outfit, can you believe?
If your own mother can't tell you the truth about an outfit,
who can?
She looked like a lesbian.
She'll realize she was in the wrong, and she'll come straight back.
Okay.
Well,
if I find her, I'll ask her to let you know she's okay.
Thanks then. Bye.
Hello?
We've found her. She's okay. Can you meet us at my house?
Thank God. I'm on my way. Are you sure she's okay?
Oh, guys.
- Love you guys. - Love you lots.
Oh my God, look. Tiny Nick was so cute!
Where did you sleep?
I just... I went to the park.
It was fine. Nobody was there.
Why didn't you text me?
My phone was out of battery, and I didn't have a charger.
Why didn't you walk to my house?
Because I didn't want you to know.
Do you remember when we got locked in the music room the second time?
Yeah.
You told me
that you didn't feel as confident about being a lesbian as I did,
and I wanted to be that person for you, to help you through your journey.
But you are that person.
At school. Maybe.
I'm not even out to my own parents.
I don't think I ever will be.
I... hide who I am when I'm at home.
I'm not confident.
Sometimes my mum makes me hate myself.
But then you said, "I love you."
But... what if that person doesn't even exist?
So... you were scared to say it back
because you didn't really believe that I could love you?
You've only ever seen half of my life.
Now I'm seeing the other half.
And I still love you.
Are you sure? 'Cause...
I'm a literal disaster.
Oh, I know.
I actually like how much of a disaster you are.
I am

I see what you're doing.
Agh!
My plan's been foiled.
You've got so many rugby trophies.
That one's from summer camp.
You went to rugby summer camp?
When I was 12. I think I had a crush on the instructor.
Oh my God.
You know, I didn't realize it at the time, but looking back now,
I was obsessed with him, so I tried really, really hard
and, uh, got that trophy for being the best team player.
That is so adorable!
Now your turn.
What?
Tell me something.
Like what?
You never told me about...
the bullying.
What that was like.
We don't need to talk about that.
Everything's fine now.
Is everything fine?
I know you like everything to be fine and happy and perfect all the time,
but you don't have to be perfect with me.
Charlie, we said we'd tell each other things.
After you told me about your... eating thing.
Someone just heard Tao talking about me coming out.
I think it surprised me how homophobic people were.
I thought things were better nowadays.
People would just call me disgusting to my face.
And it went on for so long
that I think I started to believe what they were saying.
It made me really hate myself.
So much that I...
I used to...
I used to cut myself sometimes.
I don't wanna feel like that anymore.
Do you still do that now?
No.
Sorry.
I thought we'd banned the S word.
Can you promise to tell me
if it ever gets that bad again?
I just don't wanna annoy you or burden you.
I don't want you to think I'm some fragile, broken mess.
Like you need to fix me. I would hate that.
You're not, and I wouldn't.
But I've done so many things that were scary in the past few months
because you were there, holding my hand.
And I wanna be that for you too.
Like,
you're my boyfriend.

please promise me?
