AlRawabi School for Girl

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

School was always my favorite place.

I loved going there… every day.

I had lots of friends.

Life was good.

What have you done?

Let's get out of here before someone sees us!

But not anymore.

Now…

school is my nightmare.

I found her passed out and called for help.

There was no one else around.

At least, I didn't see anyone.

Maybe someone else saw what happened?

What happened to Mariam is unfair ,

and it makes me sad.

But I don't pay attention to her kind.

We were never friends.

She thinks she's better than everyone else.

The vibe is serious in here.

Like those detective shows. CSI: Rawabi.

Why am I here again?

My only friend.

Why would anyone do this to her? I don't understand.

If everyone told the truth

TWO WEEKS EARLIER

A fire would break out in the world

Told the truth and polluted the air.

Put the fire out Shut all the doors down

Some people are still living in the past

Living in the past And none of them has some free time

Even if someone is free

They could work as a judge

For even a judge Wants the truth to be out

Go live alone in those deserts

That no one knows about

Where there is no home for you or me

And where you cannot even find A pack of gum

Good morning, Ms. Lamia.

-Good morning! -Hey, tomboy.

Hey, I'm talking to you.

What's your problem?

You are.

Tell me, do you wake up every morning trying to look like a boy

or are you a boy?

I don't know. Do you wake up every morning

trying to be a jerk

or are you a jerk?

Please, girls.

Sit down.

That was awesome.

Sorry I missed the movie last night.

I was doing homework and lost track of time.

As usual.

How was it? Did I miss anything?

Yeah! Zac Efron's abs.

They're to die for.

Don't worry about it,

I blocked the school's number on my mom's phone.

Should they call her to report me, they won't reach her.

My God, Layan. You could be a CIA agent.

What? Is something wrong?

So, what are you going to wear?

-Very nice. -Shut up.

Are you ready?

I was born ready, baby. Don't worry.

What the hell are you eating? What are you, a frigging grinder?

Enough already.

You want one?

Mr. Abu Hamdi, can we change the music?

Go back to your seat.

You two, stand up and start moving around.

Quickly.

I'm not moving.

She said move.

Just back off, okay?

Girls, please sit down.

Ignore them.

Layan, what's wrong with you?

Next time, listen.

I'm all wet now, my uniform is ruined!

You see, Mr. Abu Hamdi, even Ms. Lamia wants another song.

Oh, my God, Ms. Lamia!

Come. Dina spilled hot tea all over.

No, it wasn't me!

Girls, please! Take your seats!

"How I wish I could wake up one day

to find that my language had allowed me to speak freely of my longing for love…"

So it didn't work?

Seriously? Can you still see it?

Well, a little bit.

I wish those girls weren't on our bus route.

Who do they think they are, bossing us around the Mafia style.

Girls, quiet!

Teachers, please inspect your students.

Excellent.

-What's in your pocket? -Nothing.

You know the rules,

just like everyone else.

No phones during school hours.

-Take it out. -I just forgot.

Hand it over.

Is there a problem?

Mariam, let's see… Bravo.

Perfect as always.

Dina.

What happened?

I swear it was an accident. We were on the bus and my tea…

Go to student affairs and get another shirt.

-Hurry. -All that work for nothing.

Tuck your shirt in.

Where's Layan?

She's sick.

Poor Layan, she's got the flu. And her voice…

Okay. I get it.

She's sick.

Remind her to bring a note from her parents.

Of course, Miss.

Let me see. Good.

Why did you choose this place?

This is the only place that opens this early.

Also, you were worried someone would see us. Right?

Plus, we can be more comfortable here.

Don't worry.

I know the place feels scary, but I’m right here with you.

But where we are isn't important.

What matters is that we finally met after a month of texting.

You were worth the wait.

Hey, you didn't want to come to my house.

I hope you don't live in a place like this.

I guess you'll have to see for yourself.

FORERUNNERS AND INNOVATORS

Good morning, girls.

Good morning, Ms. Abeer.

Everyone, this is Noaf.

She just started school here

and she'll be joining our class.

Who changes school in mid-year?

Are you in trouble?

Tell us.

What's your story?

Ruqayya, spare us your attitude.

So, girls, please welcome Noaf,

and help her adjust to the best of your abilities.

Mariam, maybe you could help Noaf

catch up on her schoolwork.

Noaf, find yourself an empty seat.

Starting tomorrow, you'll be in the school uniform.

And I don't want to see any of this on you again.

Understood?

Sit down.

That's Layan's seat.

Noaf, you can sit here.

I'm Dina.

We'll be heading to the lab shortly

for some group work.

-Guess what my mom cooked today? -What?

A Korean meal called Shabu-shabu .

-Sounds delicious. -Yes, come over and try it.

-Hello, Mr. Abu Hamdi. -Hello, Mr. Abu Hamdi.

Did anyone mention my absence today?

Not at all. Now tell me everything.

Okay. He picked me up in his sports car.

And he got me a red rose and a card.

-Show me. -I had to throw them.

What if my brother found them, you know?

Right, bummer.

We kept holding hands.

I'm seeing him again on Wednesday.

And if that goes well, I might go to his house.

He has his private suite and a pool.

What was that for?

So his family is loaded.

A fancy car and a pool.

Do we have to wait for Mom? I'm starving.

Here she is.

Right on time. I was just about to serve the food.

Go ahead. I'll change, and I'll join you.

You can't ask for a better husband.

He prepared the whole meal.

Yes, all by himself.
