good night to Rjeanne?

Right.

Night-night.

No, no, no, Cathy.

Lie down.

Lie back down. Go on.

I'll leave the door open

and the light on on the landing.

Sleep tight, sweetie.

Night-night.

What is it, sweetheart?

Look what I've got for you.

Look what I've got for you.

It's for you. It's a present.

Here. It's so you can see.

You press this button

and it goes off.

It goes on... and off...

and on again.

You try.

If you need anything,

just come and see me, OK?

Is it just me, Cathy,

or is your water tepid?

Do that, Amlie,

and I'll shoot you.

That will do, girls.

No more shrieking.

- Keyla, come inside and calm down.

- It's OK. I am calm.

I said, come inside

and calm down.

- Why? It wasn't me.

- Stop arguing.

- Come inside now.

- Why is it always me?

You've been getting on my nerves

these past few days.

Don't you dare

speak to me like that.

No.

Come here, Keyla.

Let's see what we've got.

This one's too big for you.

Look, a pink one.

A lovely pink bicycle.

Do you like it?

A bicycle with three wheels.

Come over here.

What's going on in there?

This place is a tip.

It needs fixing.

It's missing a pedal.

Do you like red?

Or do you prefer pink?

Pink.

You'd like a nice pink bicycle,

wouldn't you?

Blue perhaps?

No, I know. Purple.

Yes, that's what you'd like.

A purple bicycle.

Tomorrow after work

I'll paint it purple for you.

OK?

Isn't that a lovely p*ssy cat?

You can stroke it

if you're gentle.

Do you want to hold it?

Be gentle.

Gently.

Yes.

Very good. OK?

I think it likes you.

Cathy?

Cathy?

Come here, sweetheart.

Kevin? Girls?

Hello, young lady.

Raynald, I'm hungry.

You'll wake the others.

- I'm hungry.

- Do you want some biscuits?

Yes?

Let's go downstairs

and eat biscuits.

Mind your head.

The first to the barn!

Wait for me.

Kevin, girls, now!

It's dinner time, Cathy.

Are you fixing your bike?

Raynald will help you tonight.

Have you seen the girls?

Where? Behind the tree?

Over there.

They're there.

Wait here for me.

What's going on here?

Keyla, get dressed now.

Come here. You others,

get over to the house at once.

I want a word with you, young lady.

- Keyla!

- That's enough.

Go to your room, Amlie.

No arguing.

No, no, no.

You're staying here.

Explain what happened.

What were you doing?

I won't have

that sort of behaviour in my home.

- It wasn't just me.

- It was you that I saw.

It was Amlie and Kevin too.

You were the one I saw.

I won't have that in my home.

I've had enough of it.

You refuse to do as I say.

- Keyla...

- Mind my back.

Stop it... Keyla, stay here!

Keyla! Keyla!

I'm talking to you.

Stay here.

It's nice and dry in here.

Heavy, isn't it?

Bye. Phone any time.

Phone me when you get there

to give me your address.

Bye.

Right.

- Come on, Keyla.

- No!

Come on, girls.

Don't be childish.

Don't forget to phone me.

Careful. That's dangerous.

Let go of her hand.

OK, you can go now.

- Amlie...

- Call me.

Don't forget to call me.

Listen.

Listen.

You said...

Shut up!

You piss me off!

I'm warning you, Mgane.

Stop this now or I'll report you.

Keyla.

Leave the door open.

- Can I make a phone call?

- Not yet.

I want to talk

about the rules of the group:

respect and safety.

But first I'll introduce you.

Girls, Keyla has just arrived.

Keyla, this is Camille.

Sophie, one of five

youth workers here.

- Hi, Keyla.

- Jessica.

Virginie.

Keyla.

There's a bathroom upstairs.

I'll show you later, OK?

There's one bathroom here

and one upstairs.

And this is Kim.

- Kim, this is Keyla.

- Hi.

- Everything OK?

- Fine.

It's not the first time

you've clashed this week.

We'll have to talk about it

at our meeting.

That's the courtyard, Keyla,

as you can see.

The gate is locked

so unless you're with a youth worker

you can't go out that way.

You're obviously not allowed

to climb over the fence.

The shed is locked too.

Can I make a phone call today?

We'll finish the tour

and then look at the rules together.

That will answer your question.

I wouldn't mind having him

by my side.

Shut up.

Do you like Rambo?

No, he's ugly.

- Kim!

- He's gorgeous.

It's true.

- I wouldn't mind a piece of him.

- Virginie!

You've got to admit it, Diane.

I admit it.

Turn the sound down

during the ads.

Diane, I'm off to the corner shop.

I wondered

if she could come with me.

If you want to, that is.

Do you want to?

Just to the shop and back.

While we're at it,

- I thought...

- Here we go!

Go for it, Jess.

Seriously, it would be

a chance to show her

- where to take the bus to school...

- Go for it, Jess!

We'll be about 30 minutes.

So you'll be back at...?

- At ten past.

- Ten past eight?

Not a minute more.

- Can I rely on you, Jessica?

- Yes.

Has she put you with Mgane?

No one else will share with her.

You can't speak

without her jumping on you.

- How old is she?

- 16.

- How old are you?

- I'm nearly 13.

- When?

- In June.

Next summer?

You're just a kid.

What are you doing here?

That's crazy.

Wait for me!

Rosie!

Come and have your shower now.

Five more minutes.

No, stop making excuses.

Hurry up.

- Get changed.

- Come on!

What's your name?

I know you're awake.

I'm sorry about this afternoon.

You're not stupid.

What's your name?

Mine's Mgane.

Mine's Keyla.

Do you want a sweet?

Thanks.

They're my favourites too.

Did you see me

throw my bags outside?

It's because I'm leaving tomorrow.

But no one must know, OK?

Anything left behind

is yours.

Do you like reading?

Yes?

Read this.

It's really good.

You've got school tomorrow.

Get some sleep.

Good night.

Good night.

Leave the make-up

and get going.

You'll miss the bus.

- Bye, Diane.

- Bye.

Have a good day.

I'm calling you, Virginie.

Come on, let's go.

- Bye, Diane.

- Have a good day, Kim.

- Bye, Diane.

- Come on, off you go.

Keyla.

Have a good day.

And come straight back after school.

- Right, Mgane?

- Yes.

For next Wednesday I want you

to read "The summer I Turned 12"

on pages 18 to 20

of your text books.

- The blue book?

- Yes, the blue book.

Then you're going to answer

the questions on page 21

except for questions 12 and 13.

Page 21

except questions 12 and 13.

We'll answer

those questions together.

Have a good day, everyone.

Good riddance, I say!

- That's not nice, Jessica.

- What? It's true.

Do you miss hearing her

mouthing off all the time?

Yes, I miss Mgane.

And no good will come to her

in the streets.

- On the contrary.

- Admit it.

It's a relief.

You're just not allowed to say so.

She's paid to pretend to care.

Name one job

where you're not paid to pretend.

Girl power!

No games at the table.

Concentrate on eating

what's on your plates.

- Kyla.

- Her name's Keyla.

Hey! That's disgusting!

Virginie, go to your room, please.

- That will do. No arguments.

- That was her!

- Sit down.

- I'm going to the loo.

- Sit down.

- I need to pee.

Sit down and don't argue.
