- Seriously. I can’t be bothered. Just pass it. - Seriously. I can’t be bothered.
Just come and get it.
- Yousef is meeting Noora. - Seriously? Noora, Sana's friend?
Yes, Noora.
- That sucks. - He’s getting jealous!
- There’s just something I have to tell you ... - I know already.
- What? - The thing with Yousef.
Do you like him?
Just because you think a guy is cute, doesn’t mean everyone else thinks so too.
What the fuck is this?!
Why are you so cold towards people, Sana?
Who’s your best bud, then?
- I’m not sure if I have any anymore. - Of course you do.
There is nothing enthusing anymore,
Or that feels like a real feeling.
[Hi. There’s something I have to tell you.]
[Hi. What are you doing today? Can we meet up?]
[I'm hungover af]
[Magnus and I are talking]
[How are you doing Vilde?]
[He thinks I’ve cheated on him with Elias.]
[Vilde <3 We’re gonna kill those who made the hate account. Sana: I’m also hungover af and dad is visiting from Bergen to celebrate my 18th birthday. Yippee!]
[No Yippee]
[Plus fml]
[Eva!! Mom said it’s okay for us to celebrate your 18th birthday at my place on Friday!!]
[SHE DID?? Fucking hell!!]
[She asked why you couldn’t have it at your place, and I was like… ehhh.. they’re renovating]
[After the last party]
[Hahahaha!! Awesome!! Who are we going to invite??]
Hi.
Talking to me?
Sorry for being mad.
So you’re no longer mad?
That’s good. I thought you were going to be mad for the rest of your life.
(Okay, are you ready?)
Why aren’t you friends with Even anymore?
No, the guy doesn’t want to be with us anymore -
So we can’t make him.
So it’s not because he ...
... tried to kiss Mikael?
Because I heard Mikael freaked out.
That’s not why. It’s ...
A lot happened.
The guy just started doing a lot of random stuff.
Then he tried to kiss Mikael, among other things.
And we tried to get him to chill out, but it didn’t work.
Then he started to skip school, -
And I talked to Sonja and she told me he was depressed.
And when she told us, we tried to call him and text him a lot,
But ...
It’s his deal if he -
Doesn’t want to hang out with us.
You know he’s dating Isak?
I think he misses you guys.
Because he asked about you the other day.
He did?
Tell him hi, then.
Hey?
You know Yousef?
Just forget about it.
I’m over him.
... Yeah, but I’m wondering if someone like planned it or...
Yes, it seems like it.
Of course! With World Web Wide.
What if that happened to one of you? Oh my God, it’d destroy you.
Especially you! It’d ruin your whole reputation.
Imagine just taking a picture ...
It doesn't mean that! It just means you forgot to take off the tag ...
- You guys? - Everyone! Ingrid answered.
"We were sure Vilde made saranors2. Again, sorry. We seriously feel so bad."
*Eva is using an Oslo accent.
"If we have ruined anything between her and Magnus, we’re soooo sorry,"
"- but it was Isak who started everything. You should me mad at him, it’s so important that we stand together as one bus."
I just think it’s so weird that Isak -
Would make a hate account on Sara. Like ... why?
He’s probably pissed at her for some reason.
I don’t know what’s going on in Isak’s head, -
But I actually thought he’d changed. Apparently not.
I’m really disappointed.
What are you writing?
"You can stand together, we’re out. We won’t be on a bus with people who hate."
We’re without a bus again, then.
She's saying ...
I know about a cheap van we can buy.
"Hello! We have to talk before you drop out of the bus."
What is there to talk about?
If you make a hate account, I don’t want to be friends with you.
There’s nothing to talk about! Don’t you agree?
People are totally crazy.
I think it has something to do with that Trump being the president.
You! You!
We thought we’d all chip in for this for Eva’s birthday. Isn’t it cool?!
It’s six litres!
You’re in, right?
You know that saranors2 account?
It was me.
Do you think Eva will forgive me?
Do you have to tell?
Of course I have to tell.
She can’t go around hating on Isak.
But that’s ... hate disappears ...
It’s gone tomorrow.
[Dear Eva. Please don’t be mad at Is ...]
[Eva. I’ve tried writing ...]
[Sara Nørstelien has published something in Flawless 99]
EXTRAORDINARY BUS MEETING We’re calling you in for an extraordinary bus meeting. Because there are oral exams tomorrow, and most people won’t be at school, we’ll take it on WEDNESDAY after school (SARA: IMPORTANT that EVERYONE comes, also the ones who have dropped out of the bus) As you all know, there has been a lot of drama surrounding hate accounts lately. There are lots of rumors, and today I got a question from the teachers about it. I said nothing, of course, because we’d like to keep this outside of school. We remind you that this actually can lead to expulsion. It’s not worth it. It’s very important that everyone agrees we won’t involve the school in this, which is why it’s important to have a meeting. The meeting will take place on the benches outside the B-building kl 16 ON WEDNESDAY.
[I honestly think it should be reported to the school.]
[Me too.]
[Come to the meeting and talk to us!! We haven’t had the opportunity to properly explain what’s happening]
Hey! You’ve reached Chris ...
[Did you see the post on Flawless now? They’re talking about reporting it to the school, I have to tell them it was me, Isak can be expelled]
[It’s totally nerdy to report it to the school.]
[I’ve made up with Isak, and he has apologized. I understand you’re angry with Ingrid and Lea for the ellevillevillde2 account, but talk to them. If they report it to the school, everything will be exposed and Isak can be expelled too. It’ll also be very bad for the bus.]
[??????]
[I don’t think that message was for me??]
[Is this for real??]
Welcome to voice mail from Telenor.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Hi, Eva.
I just wanted ... I just called to say I’m sorry again.
[Dear Sana, happy birthday to you and Jesus Christ*, you’re AWESOME!! We dig you and we love you a lot Sanasol! Love from Eva, Chris, Noora, Vilde]
*Sana was born on December 24th. (Norwegian Christmas)
I’ve said sorry to everyone on the bus that it was me, not Isak.
And I’ve apologized to Sara.
Yeah ...
Yeah, that’s all I wanted to say.
- Hello? - Hi.
Have you talked to them?
No, I haven’t talked to them yet.
Nothing at all?
No ... We chatted a bit.
Yes? What did they say?
No, they’re a bit mad, but I think it’ll pass soon.
Just be honest. What did they write?
Uh ...
They wrote that ever since the bus ...
That ...
You’ve changed and that ...
They don’t like you as much anymore. I don’t know.
Do you know if they'll come to the bus meeting tomorrow??
I don’t know.
But I’ll be there.
Don't be upset, okay?
I'll get them to come to the bus meeting. I promise.
They’ll be there.
I’ve tried to write something.
- To them? - Yes.
What did you write?
I wrote ...
Hi.
In the 9th grade, there was a social worker
- who told me I had an anger issue.
I thought: Fuck her, she doesn’t understand shit. Because ...
She didn’t understand shit.
But now I’m wondering if maybe she was right.
Because I am angry.
I’m angry because ...
Because I’m not Muslim enough.
And no matter what I do, I’m never Norwegian enough.
And I’m not Moroccan enough.
And I’m not chill enough.
And I’m not pretty enough.
I’m angry because I made it so important to fit in on a russ bus.
I’m angry because I don’t fit in anywhere.
Because I always get angry and fuck up.
But most of all, I’m sad because it affected you.
Because that bus is not important to me.
It’s not important to me to be Muslim enough, -
Or if I fit in with Moroccans or Norwegians.
[Because that bus is not important to me. It’s not important to me to be Muslim enough, or if I fit in with Moroccans or Norwegians. As long as I belong with you guys. The biggest losers in school. I’m sorry for what I’ve done, I don’t give a shit if I’m expelled, just please, forgive me. Sana]
There is nothing enthusing anymore.
[Are you coming?]
Or that feels like a real feeling.
And it just started pouring down.
Do you know if they’re coming?
I think they’re coming.
Because it’s a bit meaningless without them.
Everyone here agree we won’t report it to the school?
You agree too, right?
Did anyone have their last class with them or something?
- No. - Not me.
I saw Eva during the break, at least.
They haven’t written to you or anything?
- No. - Maybe you could try calling them?
Hey, you’ve reached Chris. I can’t pick up the phone right now, sorry ...
Hey, you’ve reached Chris. I can’t ...
But do you think Eva and Vilde wanted to report it to the school?
I don’t know.
But they haven’t said anything about it?
But they understand that if they do that, we have to tell them -
Why we made the Vilde account and that’ll affect you too.
I think they understand that.
But seriously, how long are we supposed to be bothered with sitting here?
- It doesn’t seem like they’re coming. - There’s not point in sitting here.
What time is it anyway?
4.20 ...
- Should we just leave, you guys? - Yeah, let’s go.
- Can you check when the 19 bus is coming? - We can take this one.
Let's go.
Sana! Sana!
Sana!
I hope you have room, I hope you have room.
I’m coming all by myself and without any baggage.
You can tell me to get it together and put me in my place,
- if you find a window for me.
Catch me when I fall or lose myself,
- and the last flame or spark.
I’ll let you finish crying for a life at my expense
- if you find a window for me.
Where did you get this?
Was it you?
If you fuck with Sana, you fuck with us!
Bye Bitches!
Bitches!
We’re fasting. We’re not having hotdogs.
Is that Fedon Lindberg, or who is it?
I’ve probably had chlamydia like thirteen times.
- It’s like ... just take some antibiotics and it’s gone. - Yeah.
But in the eye? I haven’t heard that one before.
You can just do it from your side.
Should I do it now?
Bad hit!
Awesome! Look what he did now!
Hey guys.
- Hello! - Hey.
- Hey. Magnus. - Elias.
You know my girlfriend.
- Oh ... the blonde one? - Yeah.
Right! Yeah, yeah, yeah. She has talked lots about you.
- No, she has? - Yeah, she talked about you a lot.
Ah!
What does she say about me?
- Hey! Can I also have some? - No!
- Please? - You have your own drinks, you’re eighteen!
- Exactly! I’m eighteen! - Drink your own drinks!
Should we play a drinking game? You, me and Chris since we’re looking to hook up tonight?
- The drinking game of pointing. - Pointing?
Okay, so we’re supposed to point at each other ...?
It’s like ... “Most likely to ... fail their exams”
... Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday!
You have three significant others!
- That’s me! - Do we have a knife so we can cut the cake?
Move it, move it, move it! We have a gift!
Open it! Put down the cake!
Open! Open! Open here!
Open, open, open!
What the fuck?!
- Are you crazy?! - It’s 1,5 ...
- No, it’s 7,5! - It’s six litres!
- Oh my God! Did you guys get this? I don’t know what to say. - You’re going to open it now, right?
- Open! Open! Open! - Eva, come on, do it!
- Shake it! - No,no, no!
- Hi. - Hi.
Here you’re sitting?
Yeah. You get a bit tired when fasting.
Yeah, is it ...
Is it going well? The fasting?
Now there are only 3 hours, 14 minutes and 32 seconds left.
Yeah ...
- But I just ... - But I just ...
I just wanted to ...
I like Yousef.
You’re kidding? I knew it!
And when I understood there was something between you two ...
No! There’s nothing between us.
But there’s something between you. I saw you guys hooking up.
I can’t even be bothered. Just look at this ...
From there.
[Hi sorry I just freaked out and suddenly took off yesterday. It didn’t have anything to do with you.] [Don’t worry about it, sorry for being all over you, it didn’t have anything to do with you.] [Haha ok] [But I was just wondering one thing, have you talked to Sana?] [Sana? No, what’s up?]
[if it’s okay if you maybe don’t say anything to her]
[Is there something between you!?!!]
[No or I don’t know I like her a bit]
[But does she like you?!?! I’m FREAKING OUT here! I DIDN’T KNOW!!]
[No! Relax! I don’t think she likes me. Nothing has happened! We walked home together after you last Friday, and I thought maybe she liked me, but the next day she blocked me on Facebook, so I don’t think she’s that interested.]
[but anyway I don’t want her to think that I’m hooking up with her friends. Or hooking up with anyone.]
[Ok. I won’t say anything, after all, it was nothing.]
[you haven’t said anything? she’s super cold]
[I haven’t said anything, but she’s a bit strange nowadays towards everyone. I think she’s really stressed about her mock exams …]
[Do you think maybe she heard about it from someone else?]
[I don’t know, I doubt it, I haven’t heard any rumors about it]
[Do you want me to try talking to her about you?]
[Yeah, maybe?]
[What are you going to say?]
[I can say that you like her.]
[Is that a good idea?]
[At least then you’ll know if she likes you back.]
[Ok do that]
[Did you talk to her?]
[Noora?]
[Hi, sorry. I sent her a text but I haven’t gotten a response..]
[What did you write?]
[Just that I wanted to tell her something nice.]
[What are you doing? I seriously need some advice. I met Sana. I think she hates me.]
[I don’t want her to hate me. I swear that we’re soulmates.]
[Aw <3 soulmates <3 She doesn’t hate you]
[I wanted to tell her that I like her, but instead I was just an asshole and took her ball. Fuck am I 12 or what]
[I’m at st. hanshaugen in the sun and having coffee if you want a therapist.] [What’s your number?]
[Have you told Sana you like her?]
[No?] [Ok. We talked about you at school today.]
[What did she say?] [I think she likes you.]
[Did she say that?] [She said she didn’t, but she said it in a way that seemed like she did, if you know what I mean?]
[No, I don’t understand shit.] [Just forget it. don’t talk about me anymore.]
[Ok :(]
Noora?
I have something to tell you.
And please don’t be mad.
What is it?
- I ... - Noora?
Thanks for the e-mail.
