Girls in Love

- Season 2

(2005)

Everything's going wonderfully in Ellie's world until she decides to leave her birthday celebrations in the hands of her nearest and dearest friends. They may all love her, but it doesn't mean they all love each other.

Ellie is thrilled, relieved and a tiny bit nervous when she sorts out work experience with a local artist. She comes upon an art entry by Russell - which is remarkably similar to her own. Should she be flattered or furious?

Ellie's romance cup is running over but Magda and Nadine's need refilling. So what better solution than a match-make with Russell's two best mates and what better opportunity than Russell's party?

Things are bad. Ellie hates Russell and Magda. The timing for this major bust-up couldn't be worse: the three girls are due to be smiling on the front cover of their fave teen mag.

Ellie, Magda and Nadine decide to work on their careers - NO flirting, NO dates and absolutely NO batting eyelashes for a whole month. Then, the Italian foreign exchange trip boys arrive. Mamma Mia.

Everyone's busy busy busy - except Ellie. What she needs is a new love interest and comes up with the perfect plan: if you want to get to know boys, you have to hang out where they do - the football ground.

Ellie has discovered the man of her dreams, her perfect match and, as if fate had decreed it, he works at the diner. Ellie gets the text message of her dreams, but dreams can so easily turn to nightmares.

Ellie has to fund her own mobile phone habit. So a paper round it has to be - even though she looks and feels like a complete reptile in the get-up. A bad situation gets worse when her ex's house is on her round.

The girls are conducting an experiment based on their conclusion that romance is doomed. Their guinea pig is new boy Darius. He's cute, PLUS he has a girlfriend in the States, so he's completely out-of-bounds.

School trip. Three days in nature, doing adventurous outdoor things, with your three best mates. Could be fun, normally would be fun - except that Ellie is still angry with Magda. But is it anger? Or could it be jealousy?

The walls are closing in on Ellie. She learns that her friend Darius doesn't like his girlfriend Magda as much as Ellie's best friend Magda likes Darius, who just happens to be the boy that Ellie fancies. Sort that one out.

It's Eggs' naming ceremony, but the festivities can't commence until Magda's dear hamster has been given a respectful Goth farewell. Poor Magda has had to admit that her heart has been broken, but not just by Hammy.

It's the end of term and that means a school dance. And the school dance in its turn can only mean you HAVE to have a date. Ellie knows who she'd love her date to be - Darius - but he's not even part of the gang any more.
