High (School) on Sex (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

1
That's enough!
But you were active in the student body.
Active?
Body?
Of course! Wanna go
for three rounds?
If there's something you wish
to change, change it now.
What's that?
What if I need to pee?
Hey, what's wrong?
What happened to you?
Get dressed or you'll miss the ride!
Oh, right.
Respect is all I ask.
Pretty basic.
You chose that. I didn't ask it of you.
Okay? So don't ask for anything extra.
Wait, wait, love. Not there.
- Sorry.
- Move it higher.
Huh?
Yeah. Higher.
Higher? Isn't that the fire exit?
Fuck me more, Hunter.
Shit.
You feel so good, Gia!
It's like you're squeezing me down there!
Like this?
I'm gonna go use the bathroom.
@PinayPort your video
has been reposted 983 times.
Go faster.
Deeper.
Like that.
Just like that.
Fuck you!
I thought you were a girl?
Yes! I am!
Shithead!
They bothered with a teaser, huh?
Hey! You're early today.
Issa, is something wrong?
Nothing.
Doesn't look like nothing.
Like I don't know you.
What's wrong?
Why are you crying?
I said it's nothing.
Issa, if somebody's hurting or threatening
you, you have to tell me, alright?
Didn't we agree to tell all?
Gibo.
I have no intention of lying to you.
I just don't want to
talk about it right now.
All right, then.
Tell you what.
You don't need to say or do anything,
but just let me do my thing.
Look here.
You better watch yourself
or I'll take care of you!
Your tears.
Your eyes are puffy.
Let me have a good look.
Oops.
Does it still hurt really bad?
It's just on the first day.
Are you okay?
Yes. Gibo, this is
nothing. It's normal for me.
You don't need to do all this.
I don't, but I want to.
I don't want to see you in pain.
Don't worry, I'm right beside you.
Nurse, please check on Karla.
What are you feeling?
Sir! Sir!
When's our next lecture?
And the next remedial?
Remedial?
We don't have one scheduled.
Why do you want a remedial?
Is that what you're hoping for?
Of course, sir!
You're a great teacher. Isn't he?
- You totally are, sir!
- You totally are, sir!
You think so?
- Yes.
- Sir.
Sir?
Excuse me. Speaking
of lectures, I have to go.
Okay po. Thank you, sir.
Thank you, thank you.
Sir…
- Okay. Go, go, go.
- Hold my bag. Hold my bag.
Okay.
That's it! Work it, girl!
Oh, yes! More! Give me more!
Project, girl! Oh, fabulous!
Show me! Show me!
Strut! Strut!
That's what I'm talking about!
Strut! Did you get that?
Morning, love!
It really is a good morning
now that you're here!
Kiss, please!
I gotta go. I'll leave
you two lovebirds, okay?
But why?
No reason. So you can
have each other to yourselves.
I'm not a prude, I do not intrude. Okay?
Come on.
Max, love? Do we have an
issue with us being BFFs?
To prove that you have
nothing to be jealous about,
he's been on top of me
in bed so many times,
but nothing happened.
Swear to God!
Okay. Yeah? We're good?
No, it's okay. Stay here.
- No issue, no issue.
- Okay, okay.
Told you!
Yeah! Let's go.
What about your notes?
Are you done writing them?
Not yet.
And here's the star of
the scandal of the sem!
Miss! How much is your
going rate per video now?
It skyrocketed for sure after this.
Watch out, Harmon's got a new champion.
Harmon's 'bout to get wreck'dt.
Boom! Nice one
- Listen here, you pigs.
- Don't bother, Gibo.
What? Gonna throw another punch, are you?
Huh?
Itching for a smack?
Go on, so you finally get suspended.
You wanna go?
Huh? Bring it on!
Just one slap. Bring it.
- Think you're tough?
- What? Come on! Hey!
Show us what you got!
Guess he's a little bitch after all.
Wipe that smile off your face.
Roundhead!
Nolasco, Jr.
Gilberto Nolasco, Jr.?
Here you go.
Why aren't you asking me?
About what?
The videos?
I don't wanna add to its views count.
Cut the shit.
I mean it.
Are you crazy?
Of course I’m not gonna watch that.
We're friends, remember?
I'm an honest guy.
Alright, fine. If you're serious
about our friendship, tell me this.
Did it ever cross your mind to try me out?
You're a guy.
All guys are horny.
And like you said the other day,
let's use each other.
So what is this?
Some transaction?
Your little charade
until I give in to you?
Issa, I'm telling you,
ever since we were kids
Ever since we were kids, the whole street
knows my mom's a whore!
What if that's all there is?
Like mother, like daughter.
You never thought you
could get me easy? Not once?
No! Because you're not meant
to be used, or tried out, Issa.
You're not just a phase or a quick shag.
No one's supposed to just leave you
because they're going abroad.
Moving on, or moving up!
Sure, I'm horny.
But I use my head up here more often
and I know that being kind and
being there for you is what's right.
It's what I should do.
Push me away all you
want if you don't believe it.
I'm sorry.
I lashed out because I got scared.
It's okay.
I'm right here.
Whoever did this,
I'm gonna make them cry!
Shit, man, I got something new.
- A new video, damn.
- Check this out.
Bro, send it to me.
Bang. Fetish.
Hey, look here.
- Hey, you gotta see this. Seriously.
- The hell is up with you.
You fucking killjoy.
Get that out of my face.
What's your problem?
It's got great editing, too.
Let's forward it.
I know you wanna see it.
Ken, delete that.
Look at you!
Dude, are you defending that bitch?
Huh?
What's going on?
You drunk on her pussy or something?
Huh? This motherfucker.
Dude, you fuck!
Hey!
Fuck you, man.
Hunter, what the heck
is your problem?
You're supposed to be on our team.
The fuck's happened to you?
You in love with her?
Huh?
Get second helpings or something.
Losing your shit over some bitch.
Okay, go.
What the fuck, Hunter?
Why did you do that to Ken?
What about you,
why did you pull that shit?
If somebody did the same
thing to you, how would you feel?
What?
You're crossing a line, Gia.
This sort of thing ruins lives.
The video's reached other schools.
It's not my fault everything
online is uncontrollable.
So you're admitting it?
That it was you?
Don't even bother answering.
I saw it on your phone.
Pinay Port.
And so what if it's me?
Huh?
What are you gonna do about it?
Think you can take us down?
Without the Kens, without me,
without your reputation,
you're nothing, Hunter.
And you're actually nice.
If only you followed through.
Lem!
Sir Lem!
Miss Sanchez.
If you have any concerns,
please just address it to the school forum.
Lem, can we talk?
Karla.
Can't you see I'm busy?
Lem, please.
I'm just going through something right now.
If you don't wanna talk, that's fine.
But can I please just
stay with you for a while?
I don't want to be on my own.
Karla, I need my space.
I only not enjoy, but I
work better alone. Okay?
What about me?
What the heck, Lem?
Do I have to beg?
Karla, you know what you need?
You need to be more independent.
So you can be comfortable
in your own skin.
Now, if you really want this to work,
we need to give each other enough space.
Okay?
Space?
What if 'space' doesn't work on me?
That's part of it.
It's called independence, right?
We can't predict what's going to happen.
You know what, Karla?
I think…
We need to cool off for a bit.
It's for your own good.
I'm actually doing this for you.
Okay?
Don't want to go yet?
Let me just walk you home.
Or let's hit the mall.
Since we missed class already.
I don't want to.
We can leave when everyone's gone.
You can go if you like.
No, I'm fine right here.
Bummer, I wanted to cut class.
I never should've come to school.
Why did I think people
would be good or considerate.
I should stop expecting.
It's so hard to believe in kindness.
Hey.
Don't bother covering up.
Everyone's already seen it.
Mavic!
Oh! Sorry! But I'm right, aren't I?
I gotta say, though. You're
sexy in that video, friend.
Did the video really show everything?
Oops. I'm not saying
what happened was okay.
- No, stop it, Gibo!
- But you were very pretty.
Look at my fingers! They're all pudgy
from reporting that video!
Thank you!
Is that all?
Actually, no.
Mads wants you in her office.
Somebody told her you guys were in here.
Why didn't you just sneak out?
That's what I told you.
Well, off to the
principal's office with you.
But first, take this off.
Stop sulking!
You're so beautiful.
Be proud.
Okay?
I will be with you in spirit.
You should go.
Go, girl!
Go, girl!
Good a.m., Ms. Sanchez. Please come in
for more confirmatory test ASAP.
Issa.
I've heard the news.
And for me to take further action…
Is that you in the video?
Forgive me.
You don't have to answer that right now.
But if it's you,
I want you to know that my door is open
if you ever need someone to listen.
We can't brush these things aside.
Someone must be held responsible.
That's me on the video.
Who did this?
It's Gia…
It was Giana, Mads.
Loop, too,
and Jude.
You mean Lupe Caringal
and Jude Manapat?
For me to make this official,
I need to know facts.
Was there someone else
who saw what happened?
Or witness.
Yes, Mads.
Gibo!
- Karla.
- Hey.
Wait, before anything else,
I want to say sorry
for last time, when Mama
drove me to school?
You were right. I was
acting like a bitch.
I wanna make it up to you.
Sure. Next time.
Ah, no. Do it right now.
Sorry, I'm being weird. But…
I kinda need a favor.
It's for Issa.
Karla, please.
Your statement will really help her.
Issa might get in trouble for this.
It's not just her scholarship on the line.
She might get kicked out.
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,
Retain that dear perfection
which he owes without that title
Romeo, doff thy name; And for that name,
which is no part of thee, take all myself.
Thank you, Nicholas, for that very
elementary choice of your poetry.
Sorry, sir. I just feel like I resonate
with it more now than before.
So, any feedbacks on his deliberation?
Class?
Yes? What is it this time?
I just want to signify that my
preferred pronouns are 'she' and 'her'.
You're teaching me pronouns?
No disrespect, sir.
But they're not pronouns in general.
They're my pronouns.
Oh. So what about my nouns?
Pronouns? Adjectives?
And my whole vocabulary?
I am in front for a reason.
That being I am better than you.
I may call you whatever
I want, however I want,
and you are compelled
to respond and follow.
This is my final word,
Mr. Nicholas Bernardo.
Oh! The exuberance of the youth!
You love thinking of new gimmicks.
So easily bored.
You love to think of making
your own rules
and expect everyone to follow
just because you say so?
For instance,
you put on a makeup,
and I am compelled
to call you 'miss'?
Erase that, please!
Yes, sir.
Right now?
Yes, sir.
May I step out?
To the boys' bathroom, you mean?
At loss for words now, are we?
How about those pronouns of yours?
Oh, come on. Stop
making a big fuss out of it.
It's just a name.
Right?
Thank you for joining us, Karla.
I'm sure you already know why you're here.
Now, I know how bullying goes.
The bullies will usually
turn on the informant next.
So I just want you to know,
for your courage to report
what you saw that night,
I promise you will not get in trouble.
And I will make sure of that.
Am I right?
Giana, Jude, Loop.
Yes, Mads.
Karla,
what did you see
that night at the retreat?
You mean them?
About what happened to Issa.
Nothing.
I’m sorry?
I ddin't see anything.
Karla, you know how
grave the situation is.
Are you sure you saw nothing?
Okay.
You may go.
Rest of you stay.
Sumaguing, you're up.
Yes, master?
Just sir, please.
Why?
You said we should follow you blindly.
So I should call you 'master', Master.
Don't get smart on me now.
Great Leader?
Mr. Sumaguing!
Strongman? Dictator?
Stop that!
Why so riled up?
It's just a name, right?
Nothing to make a fuss about?
Get out of my class.
Fine, but wait. I have a speech.
A name is not just a name.
A name is something to make a fuss about.
It is how we view ourselves,
how we identify with,
and a name spoken by another person
is an acknowledgement of our being.
So if you want to be a real gentleman,
and be called 'sir',
I suggest you address your students
properly whomever he or she may be.
I will show myself to
the principal's office, sir.
Anything else you want to add?
No, Mads.
Nothing more, Mads.
Mother Superior, I just want to reiterate.
We are innocent.
I don't know what you heard,
but that's my take.
If I wasn't so forgiving,
I'll personally sue
the liar who accused us.
That's enough.
This is very disheartening.
I'm sorry this happened to you, Issa.
On top of it, this is what I hate most,
women taking their fellow women down.
Girls, the world is not kind to us!
So let's not put each other down!
You remember that.
And Issa,
don't worry.
This won't reflect on your records.
I'll make sure of that.
You don't have to stay
today for your extra duties.
You can go home.
Thank you, Mads.
Dismissed.
And Gia, please stay.
What?
Why?
I'm impressed by what
you said, you being forgiving.
So please join me
in praying the rosary.
Hi, Mads!
Is there a long line outside?
Might as well have a class here!
Lord, help me!
Karla!
Why didn't you tell the truth?
Didn't you say you wanted
to keep this under wraps?
That you'll figure something out?
I keep my word.
But you saw me and what Gia!
So?
How was I supposed to
know your plans changed?
I don't assume, Issa.
I can't believe that you denied it!
Karla! If you knew I was
doing you a great favor
I know about you and sir Lem.
So tell everyone!
Issa, don't give me B.S.
Are you keeping quiet for my sake
or for the sake of someone else?
Who are you really trying to
protect by keeping it secret?
You are you shielding from hurt?
Wait, wait Wes!
Hi.
I'm Nick from class.
Miss Nick. Okay?
Yes.
I just wanted to thank you
for what you did earlier.
I hope you don't get
sanctioned heavily for it.
Oh, that.
Just a novena with Mads.
It's no big deal.
Oh, it certainly is.
At least for me, it's a big deal.
So, please…
let me pay you back.
- Huh?
- Anything you want. Please.
Hey, you know what
Let me give you this.
I'll treat you the way
you should be treated.
Okay?
Why?
No reason.
Just my little way to make up
for all the fucked up things
fucked up people did to you.
So? Let's go?
My place.
Miss Nick!
Sorry for today.
Sorry if people are unkind.
Hey, Issa!
Quit moping.
Get in before those perverts get to you.
I'm fine!
I don't wanna hear it!
Get in so we can run
over those shitheads.
Max?
Sure!
I'll get that.
All right.
Whose the flower from?
When you said 'make-up',
I didn't think you meant it literally.
Well, I like make-up
and it makes everything
about you… pop!
Wish I heard that more!
Usually it's wipe that off,
you're calling attention to yourself,
or you look like a christmas tree.
That's what they think.
That's the point!
And I'm telling you,
you should never make yourself
smaller for the sake of other people.
Do not dim your colors.
Okay?
You seem very confident.
I'm sure everyone's been supportive of you.
Yeah. Here, these are my parents.
Oh my god, you guys are so cute!
Thank you!
You see, if you were raised
by a queer couple like me,
you're certain to grow up feisty.
Imagine having to
defend that we're a family!
So when it comes to trash-talking,
I'm game.
Does it have to get to that?
I guess for now you really
need to fight for your ideals.
So that the day comes when
they're not contested anymore.
The day when respect becomes a standard,
not a matter of luck.
See?
Sorry.
It's okay.
Miss Nick,
if you're going to kiss me,
don’t apologize for it. Okay?
Do it proud. Do me proud.
I said this should only take five minutes
then we can review.
But it's been ten minutes
and you're still focused on that.
Stressed?
Did you hear about the video scandal?
Yes, I've heard.
I don't get how your generation goes about
sending nude photos and videos
like it's the most normal thing.
As if we're the first generation to do it.
You have a point there.
From my experience,
it's not exclusive to your generation.
Didn't your husband ever send n00dz?
What do you mean?
What is that?
Alien language?
You've never heard of n00dz?
Give me your phone.
I'll type it for you.
It's like magic. Check it out.
There.
Read it.
You see it?
I see it!
Right?
Now I get it.
Yes, he's into that.
He even took a video
of me once, but
Not my thing!
I get so conscious.
I think it's crass.
What about you?
Me?
I don't mind it.
Mainly because I've
tried taking a vid of myself.
But I don't see it as crass or indecent.
I think it requires a
certain level of acceptance.
For you to capture yourself on camera.
Like for example,
when you're looking at
yourself in the mirror, naked.
You're studying your own body.
And you think to yourself,
Shit! Who's this fine specimen?
He's so sexy.
Kind of like self-love?
I think 'vulnerability'
is the word you're searching for.
That's the word.
Vulnerability.
Haven't you ever looked at
yourself closely in the mirror?
Naked?
God, no!
Why don't you give it a try?
Appreciate yourself.
Your body.
Because if you saw
what I'm seeing right now,
I'm sure it'll put a
smile on your face, too.
So, tomorrow?
I meant what to do with us.
Moving forward.
I get it. It's okay.
Nick, it's not you. It's me.
Seriously?
Yeah. I'm just not in the 'mode' to be
in a long-term relationship right now.
And I feel like that's what you're
looking for. Not just a fuck buddy,
but a real relationship.
Honestly!
I wasn't even thinking beyond tomorrow.
But you are correct.
Sorry!
Honestly, I had fun, Wes.
You gave me something I've never received
from anyone before.
To be fully appreciated.
To not be scared to get
beaten up for being myself.
No strings attached.
So if one day is all I get?
Good enough?
Hey, I hope you're not settling because
that shouldn't be your bare minimum.
I know that!
You made me realize that.
Now. More than ever.
Thank you for this treat.
Welcome.
Shet, Melona!
Slow down, Gibo. Don't get too excited.
She can still change her mind.
- Can you see all of me?
- Be cool.
I think there's more to show.
Show me everything, ma'am!
I'm so ready for this class presentation!
Oh my god.
Was that a G-string?
Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
It's standing in attention now, ma'am!
Shit, dreams do come true.
We're actually doing it.
I'm going to put it in now.
Wait, somebody might see us.
But damn, it's so tight! So good!
Here goes nothing.
I'm coming!
You've grown so big!
I'm going to burst!
How's it going down there, love?
Can you feel anything yet?
I don't know what's wrong.
I can't do it.
Geez.
Are you alright?
What's going through your head?
Nothing! Too much! Probably just pressured
with all the school work.
My poor baby!
That's okay, we can just tell stories.
We can do it next time.
Okay? Bonding time.
Okay, love. I'm really sorry
for being low on battery.
That's okay, I just remembered
I have something fully charged.
Is this yours?
No, it's the neighbor's.
Oh?
Of course it's mine!
You know, when I'm feeling alone.
Do you feel alone right now
because of my…?
No, I'm not.
But we can be alone together.
Come on, put it in.
Okay.
- How's that?
- Yeah.
Shit!
Ah, love!
That's it!
Faster, please!
Love, pull it out!
Pull it out right now!
- I'm good!
- You're squeezing around it.
Shit!
Fuck, love!
Two points! Oh my gosh!
There's more?
It's stuck!
Love!
Love!
Fuck!
Karina?
Is that you?
Are you the little girl
who once told me
Marry me?
Yes, that's me, you meanie.
It's Karla now.
Lem.
Teach me?
You didn't tell me I was your first.
Is that a problem?
Not really.
I love you.
Sorry…
Is this your space for growth? Asshole!
Babe, please. Maybe we
can still patch things up.
Hey.
Hey.
Who's babe?
Ah, my ex.
You guys back together?
No.
I mean Not yet.
I really don't know.
It's only a question.
About the name.
I haven't changed her name
in my contacts.
I tried to, but I couldn't get used to it.
Feels odd, since
Relax. You don't need to explain.
You're too obvious.
You're the one with baggage on this.
Sounds like you're the one
who needs unburdening.
Can't I just forget about it?
If you still have something for this girl,
ask yourself
Do you feel safe with her?
Like how you made me feel?
Not really.
Or maybe I'm just scared
she'll hurt me again.
Well then, who do you
feel that way towards?
Someone you feel safe with,
makes you happy with yourself…
Shit. No, I can't.
No one.
I'm still thinking about it.
Sure. Take your time.
Even I went through so many mental hoops
to manage what you wanted me to do.
I think the reason why I never thought
of taking a video of myself
is because no one's ever
looked at me the way you did.
At least not in a long time.
You looked at me with genuine concern,
no pain, no judgment…
And my wish is you find someone
who will look at you the same way.
I hope so, too. May our pleasures
extend beyond the sheets.
I hope you never lose faith.
Harmon! Who here thinks
they can take on me?
I challenge you!
DJ!
Drop that bass!
I'm going to confess my true feelings.
Claiming the truth!
Who left this open?
Emergency! Emergency!
It's Max!
