Plot summary

Mary is a new student at the all girls' boarding school, and dorms with Paulie and Victoria (nicknamed Tori). In an effort to get the shy Mary to break out of her shell, Paulie and Tori involve her in their activities, such as running in the mornings. When they hear that Mary's mother has died, Paulie nicknames her "Mary Brave. "

Mary observes the intimacy between her two roommates. Peering out a window at night, she sees them kissing on a roof. Paulie and Tori's relationship is close and Paulie is full of life. At one point she turns a quiet afternoon on the campus into a music-blasting dance party and spikes the punch. In another moment, she defends Victoria from a frustrated math teacher who humiliates her when she does not understand basic maths.

When the three are running one day, Paulie comes across a hurt falcon, which she befriends. A falcon (fɔlkən or fælkən is any Species of raptor in the Genus Falco. After reading up on falcons, she trains the animal. While she is tending to the falcon, Mary and Tori meet some boys from the nearby boys school. One flirts with Tori, asking if she will be attending her brother's 18th birthday party and making it clear that he likes her. When Mary and Tori are alone, Tori expresses disgust at the boy's interest in her, saying, "He liked my tits. " When Mary asks if she'll go to the party, Tori says, "And have all those gross guys groping me? I'd rather stay home. "

Over time, Paulie and Tori become more comfortable showing affection in front of Mary. It progresses from a quick kiss on the lips in front of her to the two sharing a bed while Mary is sleeping.

One morning, Victoria's sister, Allison, and her friends rush into the room to wake up the older girls. Paulie is lying in Tori's bed, both clearly topless. Horrified silence falls over everyone.

Mary pushes Tori's sister out of the room and closes the door. Tori angrily tells Paulie to get out of her bed. Paulie tries to downplay the situation, and Tori tells her she doesn't understand, explaining that her sister will tell her parents about it. When confronted by Allison, Tori tries to extinguish her sister's suspicions by telling her Paulie has an unrequited crush on her and crawled into her bed. Her sister promises to "fix" the rumors about Tori and not tell their parents anything. As she walks away from this conversation, Victoria collapses into tears.

In the library, Victoria explains to Mary that her family, her parents and her sister, are strongly opposed to homosexuality, and she must stop the relationship to prevent their rejection. Mary sympathizes with both of her friends, as she too feels rejected by her father, who does not bother to show up to a father/daughter dance. Paulie degenerates into psychotic abusive behavior. She smashes a mirror and hurls a dish cart to the ground. A rejection letter from the agency that handled Paulie's adoption, which informs her that her birth mother denied a request from Paulie to get in touch, further sends her over the edge. Meanwhile, Victoria creates an image of heterosexuality to her friends and her sister, dating Jake Hollander (Luke Kirby) from a nearby all boys' school and avoiding Paulie. Heterosexuality refers to sexual behavior with or attraction to people of the opposite sex or to a heterosexual orientation Luke Kirby (born 1978 is a Canadian actor Kirby was in Hamilton Ontario to two American expatriates

In the forest at night, Tori and Jake have sex against a tree. Both Mary and Paulie accidentally witness this scene and run back to their room before Tori returns. Paulie declares a duel with Jake. Jake ends up on the ground, with Paulie brandishing a sword above him. She demands him to give up Tori. When he refuses, she stabs the sword into his leg. Mary rushes to stop her, and Paulie runs off. Mary runs to Victoria's soccer match, where the headmistress, math teacher, and fellow students are congregated. Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a Team sport played between two teams of eleven players and is widely considered Upon reaching the group, Mary sees Paulie, sobbing from the top of a building.
