ORIENTATION

Class of 2009

It's a new year and time for a new group of students to attend Roundview in Bristol. The new class is headed up by the beautiful and mysterious Effy, returning as the school's new queen bee. She is as enigmatic and elusive as ever and joined by best friend, sweet and kooky, Pandora. Twins Katie and Emily are becoming polar opposites. One wanting to break free of her twin and gain status, the other hanging on, crippled by shyness. And then there's Naomi--she's passionate, political and a principled idealist who is forced to stand up for her beliefs.

The irrepressible and irresponsible Cook leads the guys. He's a dangerous mix of charisma and daring that keeps his best friends on their toes. They sometimes struggle to keep up but in the end are always there. Freddie skateboards, smokes weed, loves his buddies and is as cool as it gets. JJ aka Jonah Jeremiah Jones is the brains of the bunch and a master illusionist. Together they get in and, just about, out of trouble as they scheme and connive to succeed.

By virtue of the hilarious and downright audacious adventures they share--the gang ultimately bonds and unites as one as they fight, compete and fall in and out of love/lust with each other.

History Lesson

They're just an average group of 17-year-olds from Bristol led by ringmaster Tony. He's handsome, popular and always up for a laugh but at someone else's expense. His hapless best mate Sid is forever lusting after the beautiful witty Michelle with one minor glitch--she happens to be Tony's girlfriend. Sid will get the girl of his dreams, eventually, just not the girl he thinks.

The adventures never seem to end with Chris (the class clown). He'll do anything if it's good for a laugh. But nothing gets him going quite like his psychology teacher, Angie. Then there's Jal, she's bright as hell and nothing gets past her. She is hands-down the most talented classical clarinet player in the whole UK. And she's keen to how Tony treats her best mate, Michelle.

Maxxie is magic on his feet and a whiz with his hands. He can have any boy he wants - and he wants them all. His partner-in-crime is Anwar, a "practicing" Muslim who doesn't let the teachings of the Koran get in the way of his less spiritually inclined pursuits.

Everyone loves the ethereal Cassie, who is completely charming and um... bonkers. She's a self-medicating anorexic with zero self-esteem and a heart of gold. Rounding out the crew is Tony's mysterious little sister, Effy. She may be quiet but she's wise beyond her age and gets up to more than you'd care to imagine.

Together, these troublesome teens grab life by the cojones and give 'em a good twirl.
