Hey!
Why are you spacing out?
Your ice cream is melting.
Who are you fantasizing about?
She’s so beautiful.
Let’s go.
Aren’t you afraid of getting caught?
Oh shit!
You’re weird.
Of all the places to masturbate,
why do you have to do that here?
Hey, that’s not true.
I’m not masturbating.
Look!
That’s the evidence.
Uh...
This is nothing.
You smoke?
Is it true?
That you are the kind of student
that’s super horny?
Uh...
Huh?
Who said that?
That’s not true.
That’s what they say.
That’s what I’ve heard.
Is it because of me?
Uh...
Do you like me?
Mayumi...
What are you doing?
Ma’am.
Nothing. I saw Lance masturbating.
Hey!
That’s not true!
- Hi ma’am! - Clean this up.
Yes ma’am.
Shit!
I can’t believe what you did, Mayumi.
You actually reported Lance to Ma’am Barda.
What can I do?
It's tough.
Lance might get the bushes pregnant.
[scoffs]
Shut it, you idiots.
Stop?
You’re the man!
You’re something else.
You jacked off at the back of the school.
Okay then.
I’ll go ahead at the computer shop.
Better be there.
We’ll do five on five with Chester.
Hey!
Okay, bro.
I’ll try.
Here.
Huh?
You clean this up.
You like me, right? There you go.
[sighs]
She's something else, huh?
Mayumi seems always have her own world.
It’s like she would vanish, if you touch her.
Like smoke.
Cut it out.
You’re talking nonsense.
Am I wrong?
Look at her.
She doesn’t have any social media.
Nothing at all, bro.
Maybe because...
She just wants some privacy.
Or maybe she’s running from something?
Because...
I heard something.
She’s from Manila.
Kicked out.
Huh? Why?
Beats me.
Rumors.
Some say she punched a guidance counselor.
Others say,
she cuts classes to hang out in bars.
But,
look at her.
She looks...
kind.
What? Bro, that’s just her face.
There’s something there, believe me.
Looking at her,
whenever you go down on each other,
you’ll be the one left crying.
[laughing]
Hey!
My girl messaged me.
What’s that?
BimBam, it’s a dating app.
This girl that I’m chatting with, I wanna see her.
But she wants a double date.
Come with me.
I’ll pass.
It’s not my thing.
Come on, it will be quick.
We’re just grabbing a bite.
And those are college students.
They’re mature.
Yummy.
Huh?
Come on, it’s just one date.
Help me out.
Come on.
Shit, let’s get out of here.
Let’s go, bro.
Come on, you can’t refuse me anymore.
Let’s go.
Hurry!
You can’t pass on this. You’ll come with me.
Let’s go there.
- Hey, come on, let’s go home. - Later!
I need to be early tomorrow.
My mom will kill me.
Just come here!
We’re already here.
Come on!
- Hi. - Hi!
Mi, this is Bry.
The one that I told you about.
Ah...
And this one?
Is he the Mr. Jack Off Guy?
Huh?
Ah, yes.
This is Lance.
But he’s kind, he’s in the science club.
He’s so handsome.
Super cute!
Are you game?
Nerdy and handsome.
Nerdy.
Let’s do shots.
Uhm... I don’t drink-
- Let’s go! - Let's drink!
Why are you doing this?
Come on.
Do you drink this?
Yeah, that’s my thing.
Are you okay?
My head hurts.
Just barf it out later.
I need to go home.
My dad might get mad.
Let’s go, bro.
Let’s go home.
Just tell them you’re doing a school project.
Yeah.
They won’t mind.
Just lie.
Mm-hm.
You wanna go inside?
Wow!
You guys are too much for me.
[laughing]
Enjoy, enjoy.
Enjoy, girl!
- Bye. - Bye.
Go get ‘em.
You’re the quiet one in your batch, huh?
Not really.
Just a little bit. Slight.
Quiet, but cute.
Are you a virgin?
Umm...
Mm-hm.
But you’re already 18, right?
You can explore.
You can experiment.
Mimi.
Why?
Just relax.
Relax.
Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force.
And inversely proportional to mass.
But when it comes to vacuum,
no matter how heavy it is,
it will fall on the same rate.
There’s no resistance.
Just like Mr. Candaba.
Lance!
Sir.
Do you want to share some experiences, or an example?
Umm...
Sir, just like love.
[people laughing]
Love?
How is that related to physics?
Umm...
Just like vacuum,
if there’s no resistance,
anyone...
is prone to falling.
[laughing]
You kids,
you always relate love to anything.
Anyway,
we’re doing a project.
A Newtonian experiment.
By partner.
It’s up to you who you want to be paired with.
Okay?
Go!
Hey!
- What? - Let’s be partners.
Hey!
Where are you going?
Mayumi?
Do you have a partner?
If you want,
we can be partners.
Hey!
Mayumi.
Umm...
Sorry.
Are you ready?
It depends.
Where will we work?
Oh! I know a place.
Coffee shop.
Just nearby.
I don’t have any money.
It’s my treat.
Leave it to me.
I don't like owing anybody.
Oh! Mayumi.
If you want, we can go to my house.
If...
that’s okay with you.
It’s fine.
Let's go?
Come on.
Here we are, Mayumi.
- Lance! - Come in.
Is that you?
Yes, dad!
Who’s this with you?
Hello.
Hi, Dad.
Dad, this is Mayumi.
She’s in my class.
Hello.
We’re just doing a school project.
Mayumi.
This is my dad, Ian.
Hi.
You’re so beautiful.
Thank you.
You’re a good match for my son.
- Dad! - Are you his girlfriend?
Oh! No, we’re just classmates.
Come on now, Lancelot.
You could have told me that we’ll be having a beautiful guest.
I could’ve cooked something special.
[nervous laughter]
You smell awful!
Ouch!
I’m so sorry about that, he’s a growing boy.
He still doesn’t know his basic hygiene.
He’s a big kid.
Come on!
I prepared dinner.
Let’s go, Mayumi. Come in.
Ouch!
Come on in, Mayumi.
Have a seat.
Mayumi, sit down.
You take a bath first!
I brought snacks!
Oh, hey, Dad.
Just put it there.
Mayumi, your parents don’t mind you being out late?
- No. - Okay.
I’ll leave this to you.
It’s already my bedtime.
Okay, Dad. Good night!
I love you.
Got it!
Umm... Mayumi, I’m sorry.
This is the only place I could think of.
Because there are a lot of mosquitoes in the living room.
Your dad is very nice.
Ah, yes.
He’s always been like that.
But,
sometimes he’s a bit overdramatic.
Where’s your mom?
Umm...
Is she gone?
A long time ago.
She got sick.
Umm, by the way,
Mayumi,
I really want to be a doctor.
But,
we don’t have enough money.
Maybe I’ll just study engineering instead.
That’s what my dad also wants for me to take.
Then be a doctor.
We really can’t afford it.
And maybe,
I probably can’t make it.
How about you?
What are your plans for college?
Let’s finish this, it’s getting late.
Alright.
That’s what’s needed for the force and gravity to connect.
You know what,
you’re lucky with your dad.
Yeah, I’m used to it.
He’s always been like that.
But,
sometimes he’s overreacting.
I’m not used to that.
For someone to take care of me.
Or for someone to ask if I had dinner yet.
I’m used to being scolded by my dad.
But at least, I know that he cares.
You’re lucky.
Someone cares for you like your dad.
Mayumi.
I don’t know what’s special about you.
But whenever I am with you,
I feel...
Like there’s something falling in me that I can’t stop.
You’re so cheesy.
Don’t stop it.
You don’t need to hold yourself back.
It’s like what you’ve said,
physics is like love.
Resistance slows down.
The things that are meant to fall.
How about...
we start the experiment now?
Hey!
You wanna talk about it?
No.
Shit, man, I thought we had our physics class earlier,
But somehow it turned into spoken poetry.
You're something else!
Bro, I was just explaining.
Explained?
The way you and Mayumi look at each other tells me otherwise.
Something happened, I know it.
What are you talking about?
- Nothing. - Bullshit.
Nothing? Or you just don’t want to say it?
Lance, I’m your best friend.
Just tell me.
Wow, man!
Whatever, I don’t care what you think.
Hey!
Just tell me.
- It’s nothing. - Something happened, right?
- No. - Bullshit.
Oh?
- What are you planning? - Come on.
Hey!
Excuse me.
Sorry.
Hey, what are you doing?
Hey!
Mayumi!
Hey! Mayumi!
What?
Why did you steal that?
Why? Nobody saw us.
It’s only one piece.
That’s not right.
They might have CCTV.
Why? Are you going to report me?
No.
It’s just...
This is wrong.
Wanna try?
So you can share my crime?
Mayumi!
Are you mad?
No, Mayumi.
I just don’t like this kind of behavior.
We might get caught by the owner.
Fine.
Return it.
Mayumi!
Mayumi! Wait.
What?
Mayumi!
Hold on.
Come on.
Because,
earlier,
we were okay.
But now,
you’ve gone cold.
I’m fine.
You can’t fool me, Mayumi.
I know you.
What’s with the cold shoulder?
And earlier you were like...
You’re different.
Maybe I’m really different.
What do you mean?
You don’t know me, Lance.
You don’t even know what mess I’m in.
Then tell me!
I will listen, Mayumi.
You wouldn’t understand.
No! I’ll try to understand.
And,
Mayumi, even if you don’t tell me everything,
I’ll listen.
I’ll understand.
Mayumi.
Mayumi!
Mayumi.
My father...
He left with another woman.
He went away with another girl.
Since then,
my mother just seems to be lost.
She’s home all the time.
But it seems like she’s not there.
She’s drunk everyday.
When she’s not asleep,
she’s just yelling.
Sometimes,
she just hits me.
Sometimes,
she beats me up.
Sometimes,
I need to calm her down.
I thought I’m used to it.
But when the house is silent,
there’s still voices inside my head.
My whole life,
I feel that no one cares about me.
Sorry.
I don’t know why I’m saying this to you.
Don’t worry.
You just need someone by your side.
I’m here for you.
I’ll be there for you through all your problems.
And...
I’ll be with you.
Who says I want to be with someone?
No one.
But I’d still do it, anyways.
There’s nothing new about that.
- What happened to him? - He’s staring blankly again.
Hey, bro!
- Hey! - Hey, bro.
- You always seem out of it. - What’s with you?
I think you need some “totnak”.
That’s what I’m saying!
Why don’t you try Mayumi?
- Just maybe. - Just once.
Huh? I don’t understand.
What are you talking about?
Don’t be so ignorant.
And...
What’s “totnak”?
You did the group project last night, right?
Maybe you already hit the jackpot?
Have you checked it out?
Are you talking about me?
- Mayumi. - Mayumi!
Give our bro a chance.
Hey!
Don’t you feel sorry for him?
Don’t be shy, bro!
Mayumi.
Holy shit!
There. Chance.
- Alright! - You’re awesome!
Teach me your moves, boss!
It’s beautiful here.
This place is something else.
No place like here.
There really is no place else,
when I’m with you.
So cheesy!
It’s true.
It’s beautiful here.
Why do you smoke, anyway?
It started last year.
I tried it with my classmates.
Wanna try?
No, I don’t smoke,
You know,
this is my way of coping.
Forget what?
Everything.
Stuff at home,
All my troubles,
And all the questions.
Even myself.
Hey!
What the hell?
Stop that!
Ma’am, we caught your daughter.
We’ll leave her to you.
Hey! You’re late again! You didn’t shower again?
It’s time to change!
Lance! How was the woods?
You’re my idol, bro!
You’re the best! Teach me your ways!
But seriously, are you and Mayumi together?
You don’t know anything.
We know everything! You hit the jackpot!
We’ve seen this before!
You’re something else!
Alright!
That was wild!
I didn’t know you smoke.
Isn’t it obvious?
Let me have some.
You know,
ever since you transferred here,
I thought you were some goody two shoes.
We all have our dirty secrets in life.
Shit!
Deep.
Does Lance know this?
Why are you always talking about Lance?
He likes you.
You’re an innocent angel in his eyes.
Aren’t you afraid that he might think otherwise?
Angel?
Innocent?
[scoffs]
What do I care?
I don’t even have plans to have a boyfriend.
To have a husband, to have kids,
Or even a family.
They’re not part of my plans.
So what’s your plan?
To have plenty of money.
Lots and lots of money.
You know what?
I just realized...
You and Lance are not it.
I think we match better.
Dumbass.
[laughs]
Hey! Hey!
What’s with you?
You’re drunk already?
You know what, you are cute.
You really are a wild girl, huh?
Maybe that’s why Lance goes crazy over you.
Shit.
- You asshole! Damn you! - Lance!
Damn you!
What's your problem?
Why? Are you two together?
This guy?
What’s the matter with you? Stop it!
I don’t need to explain myself to anyone.
Shit!
Damn it!
But, you told me.
I thought we were together.
But you chose this asshole?
Damn you!
Screw you!
I thought we were together.
I thought you liked me?
I don’t even know what I want.
Dear Lance,
Hi!
Maybe when you get the chance to read this,
I might have already left town.
I have escaped the mess in our house.
I’ve distanced myself with the pain.
I just wanted to disappear.
I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done.
Actually,
I still don’t really know what I want.
I’m afraid of a lot of things, Lance.
I just want peace.
With all the turmoil and voices inside my head.
And even with our short time together,
You have proved that
I can believe in one thing that I thought wasn’t true.
That I can be loved.
Even if just for a while,
I can say that I loved you.
But for now,
There’s something more important to think of.
More than love.
I hope one day, when we meet again,
We’ll reach our dreams without being in pain.
Thank you, Lance.
Take care of yourself.
Mayumi.
There are people, who, even for the short time you’ve been with them,
are unforgettable.
Like Mayumi.
I couldn’t understand what she was thinking,
But I loved her.
I felt the burden that she was carrying.
Even if she wouldn’t say anything.
And even if we didn’t end up together,
I wouldn’t blame her.
I’ve learned that,
Not all love needs to be reciprocated.
Sometimes,
It’s enough to love with all your heart.
Even for just a while.
