| 1 | 1 | "First Day"[3] | Gordon Anderson | Damon Beesley & Iain Morris | 1 May 2008 | 0.32 |
| Will McKenzie arrives at the first day of his new state school, which he is forced to move to from his former private school due to his mother Polly's financial problems following his parents' divorce. Will's first day experience largely consists of mockery from fellow pupils due to him being well-spoken and carrying a briefcase, as well as oppression from the arrogant and uncaring head of sixth form Mr Gilbert, who forces Will and other new pupils to wear large, colourful badges introducing themselves. Mr Gilbert forces another pupil, Simon Cooper, to accompany Will around the school, much to Simon's annoyance. When tagging along with Simon, Will meets his friends Jay Cartwright and Neil Sutherland, and decides to join them at the student gathering organised for later at the local pub, The Black Horse. Trying to impress the trio that evening, the underage Will attempts to illegally buy alcohol, though the boys soon realise they are at The Black Bull minutes after he finally succeeds in getting them all cider with the help of another punter. When they make their way to the correct pub, Will attempts to get served but is once again asked for identification. He loses his temper and angrily reveals to the barman that all the patrons are underage students, and they are thrown out and barred as a result. Although Simon is amused by Will's behaviour and stands by him as a new friend, the other students all take a great disliking towards him, particularly psychopathic school bully Mark Donovan. | ||||||
| 2 | 2 | "Bunk Off"[4] | Gordon Anderson | Damon Beesley & Iain Morris | 1 May 2008 | 0.36 |
| After a month in state education, Will has made three friends - Simon, Jay, and Neil - and they all arrange to bunk off a day of school. On the day, Simon phones up the school office and pretends to be his mother, saying that Simon and Will both have food poisoning, but is passed to Mr Gilbert who instantly realises it is Simon putting on a female voice. The boys then buy alcohol by having Will enter a shop dressed in Simon's father Alan's suit to disguise himself as an adult, though the shopkeeper is not fooled and so offers to serve Will only if he leaves immediately thereafter. The boys head to Neil's house and begin drinking; soon after, Neil's father Kevin arrives back earlier than expected with a carpenter. A drunken Will mocks Kevin's shocked reactions at their behaviour, referencing Kevin's alleged closeted homosexuality - resulting in him, Simon, and Jay being thrown out whilst Neil is kept behind to be punished. Still drunk, Simon then realises he loves Carli D'Amato, his childhood crush, and spray paints this on her driveway as a romantic gesture. Initially shocked, Carli arranges for Simon to come over that evening when her parents are out after she notices Will and Jay quietly mocking him, suggesting he avoid her parents until the driveway is cleaned. Jay claims that she is impressed because he is drunk, and so recommends he get drunk even more. He does so, only to vomit in the kitchen in Carli's house later that evening after suggesting that she finger herself. Will, who had invited himself over, tells her 7-year-old brother Chris about dirty bombs whilst they watch terrorist footage on television, causing Chris to scream and cry before Simon vomits over him also. When the boys return home, Polly, Kevin, Alan and Simon's mother Pamela are waiting for them, scolding them both for their obnoxious behaviour. Simon attempts to blame Kevin, accusing him of fondling them, whilst Will claims that they are alcoholics who need love and support - only to be greeted with mocking laughter from the adults. The next day at school, Mr Gilbert confronts the four boys, insisting that whilst Jay and Neil are not in trouble due to no legal requirement to attend sixth form, Simon and Will are due to them impersonating their parents, so they are sent to the headmaster over the matter. | ||||||
| 3 | 3 | "Thorpe Park"[5] | Gordon Anderson | Damon Beesley & Iain Morris | 8 May 2008 | 0.31 |
| Simon is about to take his driving test, but does not feel confident that he will pass first time. Will, Jay and Neil are over-optimistically discussing the possibilities of one of the group owning a car, which leads to arrangements to go to Thorpe Park – where Neil works - providing Simon passes. During Simon's test, he is assessed by a female examiner who tries to put him at ease with the use of sexual connotations; Simon is submissive to her advances and passes his driving test as a result. As a reward, his dad buys him an old yellow Fiat Cinquecento Hawaii, which Simon reacts negatively to, but eventually uses to pick up Will and Jay drive them to Thorpe Park. After the journey – which includes following a car full of girls and entering a funeral procession – the boys finally arrive, only for the front door of the car to be ripped off when Jay carelessly opens it as Simon is reversing beside a sign to park. They are forced to carry the car door around the park itself, where they eventually meet Neil working as a park mascot, witnessing him yelling in pain as a wasp flies into his costume. Once out of his mascot outfit, Neil joins them and they later head to Nemesis Inferno, waiting an extra half an hour to ensure front seats only for Will to find there is only space for him and not his friends. He insults whoever has pushed in, denouncing them as "arseholes", before sitting down next to them to see they are from the "Happy Foundation", a charity for people with Down syndrome. After the ride, they return to the car, which they find has been vandalised by the same people Will had insulted, who drive away slowly whilst making insulting gestures as Simon is forced to phone his annoyed father for help. | ||||||

|
The boys go to a Friday night house party and, amazingly, Charlotte Hinchcliffe, the most attractive and popular girl in the school, who is in the upper sixth, is attracted to Will. They engage in heavy petting, but the experience is short-lived as Charlotte's psychopathic ex-boyfriend Mark Donovan shows up, forced to leave when Charlotte insists their relationship is over for good. The next day, when Charlotte brings up sex in conversation, Will lies about how many girls he has had sex with and so she suggests they meet up again soon to have sex themselves. Will brags to the rest of the boys about this, but Simon explains to him that Charlotte is obviously just using him to get back at Donovan following their relationship issues, leading Will to angrily insult him and storm off. That Friday, Will joins Charlotte at her house to have sex, but his lack of experience is made evident the more it goes on, and Charlotte eventually abandons the idea and requests he leave. The next day at school, after Neil wins an unwanted date with much younger geeky girl Susie at the school's charity Blind Date event, Will is then dumped in front of the school when Charlotte abruptly takes part in the event in an effort to find a sexually experienced new lover. Will rushes back home in tears, his mother comforting him, worried that he now has nothing after falling out with his friends over a girl who has now broken up with him. However, Simon and Jay come to visit Will after witnessing what happened at the Blind Date event, and so invite him to come join them as they watch Neil on his blind date with Susie, who is revealed to be around thirteen years old, meaning he has had to go to a fast food restaurant with her whilst the two are supervised by her parents. Throughout the episode, Jay is repeatedly teased by the others for having a friend outside of the group whom he says goodbye to with a two thumbs up gesture at the opening party, leading up to him jumping up and down on the bonnet of the friend's car, screaming that he is not his friend, whilst Neil and Simon watch in shock. | ||||||

| After Jay's stories of guaranteed casual sex at the Camber Sands caravan club which his family are members of are constantly dubbed lies by the other boys, he reluctantly invites them to come to the club themselves to experience it for real. They agree, but the trip does not get off to a good start, with their first dinner in the van interrupted by Jay's father Terry defecating loudly nearby. They later head to the main building at the complex for an evening party, which is revealed to be no more than a disco in a small hall. However, whilst chatting to adult guests, Will is approached by a flirtatious punk girl who kisses him and suggests they have sex together. He loses his chance when he tries to bond with her on a personal level first by skidding across the floor, which she responds to by walk away in disbelief and some nearby children steal Will's shoes. Meanwhile, after some flirty text exchanges, Simon tries his luck with Becky, a girl whom Jay claims to have repeatedly had sex with. However, when he leads her outside and takes his trousers and pants off, she is shocked and says that she does not want to have sex, before running inside to tell her parents. Simon angrily confronts Jay for his lies and they leave when they notice Becky speaking to her parents; as they do, Will eventually gets one of the children teasing him into a headlock to retrieve his stolen shoes and also leaves. The following morning, the trio bump into Neil, whom they could not find the previous night. Neil explains that he slept in Simon's car and, on the dual carriageway during the journey home, reveals that he spent the night in the car with the punk girl performing extensive mutual masturbation, which explains why the seats are wet. Simon angrily pulls over and demands Neil clean it up, but Neil refuses as it is Simon's car, whilst Will and Jay argue over whether or not Jay truly lied about the sex potential of caravan club considering Neil ended up with a girl all night. | ||||||
| 6 | 6 | "Xmas Party"[8] | Gordon Anderson | Damon Beesley & Iain Morris | 29 May 2008 | 0.42 |
| It is the end of Will’s first term and he has been elected as chairman for the Christmas party committee, later revealed to have been the only applicant. He persuades Simon, Jay, and Neil into assisting him, though Jay only agrees to do so providing he can work as a DJ musician. An argument later ensues throughout the pair during the day where Jay continues to insist Charlotte only agreed to have sex with Will earlier in the term as part of a bet with one of her friends, leaving Will anxious to find out the truth. When Will later tries to discuss the prom itinerary with the rest of the students, he is approached by school bully Mark Donovan, who threatens violence against him if he goes near Charlotte during the prom. At the party, Simon attempts to impress Carli, arranging a plan with Jay to stop the music so he can confess his love, but when the moment comes – with all eyes at the party on him and her – he chickens out. Luckily, everyone is distracted from Simon's embarrassment as a drunk Neil attempts to kiss his Biology teacher Miss Timms, wrongly renowned for being attractive amongst many students, and is consequently reprimanded by Mr Gilbert. Will is later approached by Charlotte who, when Will anxiously asks, confirms their brief relationship was never a bet and even kisses him after praising his work on the party; however, witnessing the whole thing, Donovan soon appears and angrily threatens Will, but all the guests stand up for Will due to all his hard work and demand Donovan leave him alone. Donovan then spots a disgusted Charlotte walking away and goes after her, leaving a thankful Will preparing a thank you speech – only to be ignored by everyone as they return to the party. Later, with the party over, the boys reflect on their past term whilst relaxing on a trampoline in the school gym, with Simon and Neil both praising Will's work on the prom itself, and Will overjoyed to know that Charlotte never dated him as part of a bet. Jay then appears and tells the boys he has just received a blowjob in the DJ booth, but then admits it was only a "handjob outside of the trousers". After gentle teasing, he then dives on the rest of the boys, who all happily begin playfighting on the trampoline. | ||||||

| 7 | 1 | "The Field Trip"[9] | Ben Palmer | Damon Beesley & Iain Morris | 2 April 2009 | 1.21 |
| As the new term begins in January, the boys are going on the annual Geography and Sociology field trip to Swanage, where Jay claims a renowned MILF is based who has sex with one student from the trip on each occasion. Although Neil himself does not study either of the subjects, he is allowed to come along by agreeing to help Mr Kennedy, an alleged paedophile who is attracted to Neil. They all arrive early to secure seats at the back of the coach, but are quickly forced to move when Mark Donovan arrives. Will finds himself with a stroke of luck when he ends up sat next to Lauren Harris, a pretty new student whom he is instantly attracted to. However, Lauren is not attracted to him and is instead attracted to Simon, partly due to Will's social ineptitude and jealousy. Jay and Neil try to find the alleged MILF by asking questions to random women, passing them off as school surveys, though their attempts fail miserably. Simon and Lauren arrange to meet up together the following day during some free time, but Carli also tries to arrange to meet Simon during the same period. Simon selfishly accepts her offer regardless, ignoring his arrangement with Lauren. Will uses this opportunity to take Lauren out on a boat that he hired for the afternoon, but before she arrives briefly goes out with Jay, Neil, and Simon when they pass by and encourage him to do so despite his initial refusal. After unfortunate incidents on the boat, including Simon falling into the water and developing hypothermia and Neil accidentally catching a large fish (which he kills in the boat by punching it several times), Jay panics and carelessly sets off an emergency flare and they are soon saved, albeit at the expense of being humiliated in front of many people, including the other students on the field trip. Lauren leaves the school when she moves away from the area. | ||||||

| It is Valentine's Day and Jay is showing off a number of cards he supposedly received, each with sexual, explicit messages inside, which Will and Simon instantly suspect are fakes all written by Jay himself. Simon, however, receives a genuine card from a girl in the year below, though he is only keen to ensure Carli does not find out. Will later catches up with Charlotte, to whom he sent a card and a bouquet of flowers, and she invites him along to keep her company at an under-18s disco which she will be supervising. Mr Gilbert soon arrives and hands out the confirmation of each students' work experience placements - Jay has set him and Simon up at his father's plant hire, whilst Will's request to be placed at a local newspaper is mixed up with Neil's request to work in a car garage. Mr Gilbert refuses to swap the placements due to his hostile attitude and active dislike of Will. Will is thus forced to attend the garage for work experience and immediately develops a negative relationship with his workmates after branding the place "dirty" and "not academic", subsequently being thrown into a lake by them. When they later mock Will's potential with women, Will pretends that Charlotte is his girlfriend, telling lies about how he had sex with her multiple times among other things, and reveals he will be meeting her that night at the under-18s disco. At the disco, Simon meets the girl who sent him a Valentine's card, Hannah Fields, who secretly offers him alcohol, begins passionately kissing him and soon starts giving him a handjob. It is cut short when Simon is attacked by much younger pupil Danny Moore, whom Simon had accidentally bumped into the previous day; Danny pushes Simon to the floor and kicks him in the groin before being escorted away by bouncers. Hannah, embarrassed at Simon being beaten up by a much younger kid, decides to leave. The boys then witness Danny speaking to a group of tough looking young men and start panicking; Will rushes to find Charlotte for help, but she refuses to do so and throws a drink over Will when Wolfie, one of his workplace colleagues revealed to be seventeen despite appearing to be much older, turns up and relays all of the things Will had said that he and Charlotte had done together. Will then decides to ring his mother so she can pick them up, and they all hide in the toilets until she arrives; when she does, it is announced across the entire building, causing the disco crowd to burst into laughter. | ||||||

Jay tells that that he stole it from a female pupil's bag and merely suggests that they try to sneak in. However, the party clashes with Will's sophisticated birthday dinner and he eventually persuades his friends that his event is more important. The boys all attempt to find dates for Will's dinner, only to discover that most of the popular and attractive girls are going to Louise's party, including Will's love interest, Charlotte, who merely signs off mid conversation when Will invites her over instant messaging. Simon is also stuck having to look after French exchange student Patrice, though Will insists he bring him along to the dinner party. Will's birthday arrives and his mother Polly, who incorrectly assumes the legal age to drive is eighteen and so is still saving for driving lessons, gives Will an unflattering black vest that she thinks makes him look cool. Though Will strongly dislikes it, he accepts it gratefully to avoid upsetting her and promises to wear it that night. The night does not get much better as at his dinner party, the only attendees are the five boys. They consequently try to invite some local girls hanging around on the street to the party, only to find that they are between 11-13 years old and drinking alcohol. The girls aggressively brand them paedophiles as the boys walk away and, upon reaching home, Will notices a stripper that Jay and Neil had booked arguing with Polly because she has not been paid. His party ruined, Will finally caves and agrees to go to Louise's party. Upon arrival, Louise refuses to let them in because they have not been invited, though she is quickly attracted to Patrice and so invites him in whilst shutting the others out. They climb over her fence, bar Will who crawls through a gap in it, passing through dog faeces in the process. A bemused Louise says they can stay providing Will removes his jacket, exposing the vest beneath and inviting ridicule from the other partygoers. Will soon finds Charlotte upstairs, left in shock when he discovers Patrice is having sex with her, and so leaves angrily. The boys soon receive a brief respite from their bad day when Donovan turns up looking for Charlotte, with the prospect of Patrice getting beaten up by the psychopathic school bully being a happy one for both Will and Simon, who also disliked him. When they leave the party, they are again spotted by the same group of drunken young girls who send the older brother of one of them chasing after them with a cricket bat. | ||||||

He is later persuaded to go after Neil says that he has a car and will happily drive the group down to the capital, as well as Carli telling him that she and her friend Rachel will also be going down to London on the same night. As the boys prepare for the night out, Neil presents his new car, only to inform them that it doesn't have an engine and that he thought the plan was for him to drive Simon's car despite not being insured to do so, leaving Simon enraged. However, still excited by the prospect of meeting Carli, he eventually agrees to drive. As they head down, Jay decides to jokingly shout "bus wankers!" at a group of people waiting at a bus stop. Neil urinates into a drink can and cuts his glans penis on it. Jay again shouts "bus wankers!" at several people at a bus stop when they arrive in central London in the evening despite traffic forcing them to stop seconds later.

After searching for a parking space for over an hour, they soon park in front of a shutter door where a clamp warning is posted, but Jay insists to Simon that on weekends the rules are different. Upon arrival at the club, Simon is refused entry due to wearing trainers. As a desperate solution, he decides to swap his new trainers for urine-stained, tattered shoes from a homeless man in order to be allowed in. Both he and Will's 'dates' go badly, with Rachel smitten by another man, Dean, and Carli disgusted by Simon after finding out his shoes are soaked with urine and taken from a homeless person. Neil spends a lengthy amount of time trying to painfully urinate in the toilets with his cut penis, and is thrown out of the club after being suspected of masturbating; consequently, the boys decide to go home. As they return to Simon's car, they find it has been clamped by the man whose garage door they blocked, with him angrily demanding £200 compensation for the car having prevented him from using his van to make his business deliveries. | ||||||

Jay and Neil take the opportunity to put hair removal cream down Will's trousers, causing his pubic hair to fall out in the shower later that day. Will worries what Daisy may think of him if she does want sex and, following awful advice from Simon, quickly stuffs the wig of a female resident of the home down his underpants. After a pleasant dinner date, a tipsy Daisy tries to have sex with Will, but upon finding the wig, thinks that Will has no pubic hair because he is prepubescent and thus far too young for sex. The next day, Will tries to explain the truth, but she is too embarrassed and somewhat ashamed to talk to him. Eventually bored watching the elderly residents, Jay sneaks off to a room to masturbate, doing so over a picture of a resident taken when she was a young woman in a bikini. He ejaculates when the elderly woman in the room he did not initially see wakes up and greets him. Her son soon arrives and shakes Jay's hand, covering his own in Jay's semen. As a result, all four boys are kicked off the programme and then told off by Mr Gilbert. | ||||||

Jay finds himself smitten by his first girlfriend, grammar school girl Chloe. Neil is left preparing for his practical exam in PE by playing Pro Evolution Soccer. During the first revision session, Carli tells Simon that she and Tom have split up, and she soon kisses him in gratitude during their next revision session, whilst also promising to join Simon and the rest of the gang at a nearby pub for an end-of-term celebratory drink. Will's revision efforts continue to go horribly wrong, with him failing to understand anything he reads no matter how many times he reads it, and starting to get confused over what certain words mean. Simon suggests he get more sleep and stop drinking energy drinks, but Will refuses, insisting that they help. Jay, paranoid that Chloe may be secretly dating someone else, is advised by his father to make sure that he always knows where Chloe is, and so texts her and sends her messages on Facebook, Bebo and Myspace excessively often.

It is raising money for a new dialysis machine for the local hospital, as recent kidney failure patient Alistair Scott returns to the school. Simon ends up modelling at the request of Carli, and although Jay makes persistent efforts to get himself noticed, he is not selected to be a model, much to his frustration. Will is forced into collecting the funds for the event by Mr Gilbert, despite seeing it as merely a popularity contest, a belief he expresses openly to guests of the event, which angers Alistair and triggers a rivalry between the two. Charlotte, who is now a university student, turns up at the event, put down as a special guest model, and at the last minute asks Will to assist her after her original show companion passed out whilst drunk. Will ignores his initial beliefs and decides to help, further frustrating an envious Jay, who is eventually forced to visit the school nurse when his own efforts to pierce his ears leave them infected and pus-ridden. Though Charlotte is appreciative towards Will for his help and says that she would be happy if she had a boyfriend like him, she mockingly laughs off the thought of them being a couple, and so Will refuses to join her any further. Meanwhile, as Simon helps Carli with her finale to the show, he is unaware that his left testicle is not properly tucked into the Speedo pants he is wearing and so performs the act with it visible to the entire audience.

When Simon discusses this with the others, they invite themselves along - Jay so he can offer "experienced" advice to Simon so that he does not make a mess of the situation, Will so that he can look around the university (though he also claims he does not want to be left out), and Neil because he has nothing else to do. This annoys Tara because it means that the car is crowded and she is forced to sit in the back. Upon arrival, Neil and Jay get drunk by playing drinking games with Sophie's housemate Joe and his two friends. Will becomes frustrated by their annoying behaviour and their subsequent claim that he is boring. Worried that he will orgasm too soon, Simon dismisses Will's advice to be honest with Tara and instead accepts Jay's and briefly masturbates beforehand, causing subsequent impotence when he and Tara try to have sex. He loses his temper as a result and begins slapping his penis manically, scaring Tara who rushes to Sophie for help. Neil, who had downed a bottle of orangeade riddled with cigarette butts, begins losing control of his bladder and urinates a green, foul smelling urine. A drunken Jay approaches Sophie and her attractive Dutch housemate Heike and suggests sex with her. Simon rushes out when he has a semi-erection, only to find himself standing naked in front of everyone. All the incidents together cause them to be abruptly kicked out of the house by an enraged Sophie, and they are forced to sleep in Simon's car and endure the long drive home whilst half naked the next morning. During the journey home, Simon receives a text from Tara, telling him to never contact her again. | ||||||

Polly goes away for the weekend with an old college friend, Fergus, whom she recently caught up with on Facebook. Afraid to be alone at home for the night, Will asks Simon if he wants to stay over, but Simon is unable to due to a father and son golf tournament he is attending. Will instead asks Neil, refusing to asks Jay due to his sexual obsession with Polly, angering Jay who is keen for some privacy to masturbate as his dog Benji pesters him whenever he tries to. Jay easily makes it into Will's house regardless due to Neil leaving the front door open, and they both begin to make a mess of the place, causing Will to force them all to go outside. They take Will on a "pussy patrol", though simply end up driving around the estate very slowly, during which Jay runs angrily over a squirrel after it continues to slyly avoid him at the last minute. When they return to the house, they find Simon waiting for them, having made his way in as the back door was left open by Neil also. Jay uses the credit card details left by Polly for emergencies only to order a supply of Foster's Lager, and blackmails Will by posting inappropriate content on his Facebook profile and changing the password, refusing to reveal the new one unless Will lets him stay at the house. Will finally does so, but after Neil blocks the toilet and, alongside the others, vandalises the back garden with Simon's golf club, he demands they all go out again and begins walking around the estate with them whilst they all drink. They vandalise a front garden which Jay and Neil had previously vandalised earlier that day, which even Will soon enjoys, but run away when the house owner spots them and threatens to call the police. Upon returning home, Jay and Neil masturbate in private whilst Simon and Neil take shots whilst playing Pro Evo. The next morning, they are all hungover, Simon over an hour late to his golf tournament, as the man whose front garden they previously vandalised tries to get into their house to apprehend them. Polly returns home and the man angrily explains to her what the boys have done. Jay enters the room in tears, explaining that his father had Benji put down after Jay lied about Benji defecating in the house so that he would be locked outside more often and no longer disturb him from masturbating, with his father believing dogs are near death at that point anyway. It is also revealed Will's mum was eventually dumped by Fergus as he did not want to be dealing with a "problem child". Jay and Neil vandalise a layout of flowers beside a roundabout that reads "WELCOME TO OUR VILLAGE", altering it to display "WE CUM TIT VILLAGE". Mr Gilbert approaches Will over the matter, believing he would know who the culprits are, but when convinced that Will would report if he did, gives him a few days to find out and threatens to mess up his UCAS application if he fails to do so. Will later finds out it was Jay and Neil, but decides not to report them in the end, though it is left unknown what happens to his UCAS as a result. | ||||||

| Simon's parents tell him that the family are moving to Swansea in a couple of weeks due to Alan's company making many employees redundant, leaving Simon distraught as he will have no friends and will no longer see Carli again, whilst Neil is upset following concerns that he may have impregnated an older colleague. Though Will plans to arrange a camping trip before they go their separate ways, Simon plans to use the time to try and confess his love for Carli instead. He phones Will the following night whilst drunk outside Carli's house, preparing to climb in through her window and have sex with her. Will rushes over and tries to stop Simon as he mistakenly climbs into Carli's younger brother's room and briefly fondles him, assuming it is Carli, causing him to cry for his father as Simon and Will run off. Simon decides to go on Will's camping trip when Carli's father bans him from going near their house again, and although Will organises the trip constructively, the others makes a mess of things and begin burning various possessions of Will's to fuel a fire. After a quick game where they swap phones and send vulgar texts to each other's contacts, they play Monopoly. Jay uses Simon's car lights so they can see properly in the dark, but forgets to apply the handbrake after turning it, so the car rolls into the lake. Simon goes into a hateful outburst towards them all, but soon calms down when they offer him a drink and admits it was a rubbish car anyway. They later receive replies from the texts they sent earlier, where Neil discovers he did not impregnate Karen but likely has chlamydia as a result of unsafe sex, whilst Simon receives a reply from a sexual text Jay sent to Carli on his phone and, although refuses to reveal its contents, is pleased with what it says. Soon after they go to bed in the tent, Neil vomits after having eaten many raw sausages, and the repulsive smell makes Simon and Jay vomit over the tent also, leaving the boys no choice but to walk home. | ||||||
