00:00:00Brianna waited impatiently in the cinema parking lot.
00:00:02Her date was 40 minutes late.
00:00:04Just as she was about to leave, the car door pulled open without warning.
00:00:08Whoa, gotcha!
00:00:09Are you a clumsy dummy, or did you plan this to fall into my arms?
00:00:12How would I plan-
00:00:13Ugh, never mind.
00:00:14We've probably missed half the movie, Elijah.
00:00:16I booked a haul just for us.
00:00:18The movie starts when I say it starts, babe.
00:00:21Once the lights went off, Brianna turned pale.
00:00:23The ring?
00:00:24I told you, I hate horror movies.
00:00:26But you don't know what you're missing.
00:00:28You're gonna love it, sweet cheeks.
00:00:30Trust me.
00:00:31Brianna cringed as she watched with eyes half closed.
00:00:33And at one point, she screamed and jumped off her seat.
00:00:36That's it.
00:00:37I'm leaving.
00:00:37You call yourself an actress, but you can't appreciate this masterpiece?
00:00:42You're such a baby.
00:00:43And you're such a jerk.
00:00:45I don't know why I agreed to this.
00:00:46Want me to call you an ambulance, baby Brianna?
00:00:49Brianna dumped her popcorn on his head before storming out.
00:00:52And then, she walked straight into somebody carrying sodas and fell on her butt.
00:00:56Brianna, are you okay?
00:00:58Jeez, can this night get any worse?
00:01:00Yeah, there are infinite possibilities.
00:01:02You could get struck by lightning or get robbed or be kidnapped or get hit by a bus.
00:01:07Then there are serial killers.
00:01:08It wasn't really a question, dude.
00:01:11I'm sorry.
00:01:12I wasn't looking.
00:01:13I'll pay for the drinks.
00:01:14I can take care of this.
00:01:15Thanks.
00:01:16Um, what's your name?
00:01:17Wow, you don't even know my name?
00:01:19Why would I?
00:01:20I know your name.
00:01:21Yeah, because I'm, well, famous.
00:01:23What's your excuse?
00:01:24I'm in your biology class.
00:01:26I joined your school three weeks ago.
00:01:28Brianna was embarrassed.
00:01:29The teacher did introduce some new scholarship kit, but I've hardly noticed him since.
00:01:33It's okay.
00:01:34I'm not offended.
00:01:35It's what I'd expect from someone like you.
00:01:37I'm Charlie.
00:01:38I'll see you around.
00:01:38He smiled and walked away.
00:01:40And Brianna felt kind of bothered.
00:01:42What did he mean, someone like me?
00:01:44Charlie knew Brianna wasn't kidding about being famous.
00:01:47He had seen some of her TV show on Stargirl.
00:01:49At school, she was surrounded by girls just like her and guys who changed sports cars faster
00:01:54than clothes.
00:01:55Of course she hasn't noticed someone like me.
00:01:57The three most popular girls in school chilling at a pool party was a sight to behold.
00:02:02Their leader, Madison, was a rich socialite and model, and her childhood bestie Amber was
00:02:06an Instagram influencer who started the weirdest fashion trends.
00:02:10But the most popular right now was Brianna, who'd joined them in eighth grade and shot to
00:02:14fame with their teen TV series.
00:02:16People called them the Barbie Angels because they screamed perfection, but they weren't
00:02:21feeling great lately.
00:02:23Things are starting to get boring.
00:02:25It's not a challenge to get any of these guys around us, and it's even harder to lose them.
00:02:30I made out with a red-haired model last week, and later my boyfriend found a red hair on
00:02:35my sweater.
00:02:36I said I'd hugged a sad clown on my way home, and he actually believed me.
00:02:41I dumped his stupid butt.
00:02:43Seriously.
00:02:45I went on a horrible date with Elijah, and he texted me to say he was going to Korea,
00:02:50and we'd go out again once he returned.
00:02:52What made him think that would happen?
00:02:54Crazy, right?
00:02:55Ugh, even blind guys are drooling over me.
00:02:58I feel you, girl.
00:02:59Remember my blind stalker who tried to climb my bedroom window, but he fell down and was
00:03:03taken to the hospital?
00:03:04Ugh, so clumsy.
00:03:06Yeah, what a dummy.
00:03:08Girls, we need to spice things up.
00:03:10I want to find someone really different.
00:03:12Make him fall in love with me, mess around with him, and then dump him.
00:03:17Wouldn't that be fun for us?
00:03:18OMG, yes.
00:03:20I haven't felt this excited since the 11th Harry Potter book came out.
00:03:23Just then, something caught Brianna's eye, and she left.
00:03:26I wasn't even done talking.
00:03:28Amber, do you feel sometimes that she isn't as nice as before, and her fame's gone to her
00:03:33head?
00:03:33Her head does look a bit smaller than usual.
00:03:36Anyway, who cares, Maddie?
00:03:37You've got me.
00:03:38I'm your favorite girl, right?
00:03:39You know you are, babe.
00:03:41Brianna had spotted the DJ at the party, and it was Charlie, looking much cuter.
00:03:46Wow, you're full of surprises, DJ Charlie.
00:03:49What?
00:03:49I said, you're full of surprises, DJ Charlie.
00:03:53Uh, Brianna, I heard you the first time.
00:03:55Then why did you say what?
00:03:56I just meant, what's the surprise?
00:03:58Oh, well, you're a scholarship student, so I thought you'd be a nerd.
00:04:02Didn't imagine you as a DJ.
00:04:03Guess you had a limited imagination, then.
00:04:05My imagination's just fine, thanks.
00:04:07In case you didn't know, I co-wrote the series I acted in, the one that's really famous.
00:04:12That reality show with a bunch of rich girls doing rich things?
00:04:15Yeah, my co-worker made me watch a few episodes.
00:04:17I'll have to get your autograph for her sometime.
00:04:19She's a huge fan.
00:04:20And with that, Charlie switched up the music louder.
00:04:23Every time I speak to him, why do I end up feeling insulted?
00:04:26So annoying.
00:04:27I have just the guy for Project Plaything, Maddie.
00:04:30See the DJ?
00:04:31Hmm, his tacky t-shirt.
00:04:34But he's kinda cute.
00:04:35Why him?
00:04:36He's nothing like the guys we date.
00:04:38He's a scholarship student in my bio class, and he seems unimpressed by everyone at our
00:04:42school, including us.
00:04:44Well, that's new.
00:04:44I love a good challenge.
00:04:46The question is, will he buy it?
00:04:47The most popular girl in school suddenly notices him?
00:04:50He might think it's a prank.
00:04:51We'll just have to make it believable then.
00:04:53Plus, no guy is immune to my charms, Brie Brie.
00:04:57He'll be eating out of my hands in no time.
00:04:59Like a baby shark.
00:05:00I don't think it'll be so easy, but I'm looking forward to it.
00:05:03The girl's first move was to get Madison on Charlie's radar and paint her as an angel.
00:05:08So two days later, Charlie found Madison walking into the cinema, who he instantly recognized
00:05:12as Brianna's friend, and she had a line of kids behind her.
00:05:16Hi, could I please have 30 tickets for the new Minion movie?
00:05:19And whatever snacks the kids want.
00:05:21Are these kids from an orphanage?
00:05:22Yeah, I volunteer there, and I thought I'd treat them.
00:05:25It's not often that they get to go out, so I want them to have a really good time.
00:05:28Wow, she doesn't even have a PR team taking pictures.
00:05:31Charlie led the excited kids into the theater, and as he was leaving, Madison touched his
00:05:36arm.
00:05:36Wait, you were the DJ at a pool party recently, right?
00:05:39Right.
00:05:40I, uh, also go to your school.
00:05:42How did I not know that?
00:05:44Oh, don't beat yourself up.
00:05:45I'm super easy to miss.
00:05:47I'm like a pigeon in a school of peacocks, but I prefer my own company anyway.
00:05:51It's the best.
00:05:52I'm sure it is.
00:05:53Well, thanks for your help today.
00:05:55Madison kissed him on the cheek, and Charlie smiled awkwardly before running off.
00:05:59Was the most popular girl in school just flirting with me?
00:06:02Nah.
00:06:02She probably flirts with everybody.
00:06:04Later, Maddie called the others to update them.
00:06:06Do you think he bought your act?
00:06:07Of course.
00:06:09I'm beginning to think I'm a better actress than you are, and this is gonna be a lot
00:06:13easier than I thought.
00:06:14The next day, when Madison walked into the cafeteria, she spotted Charlie in a corner,
00:06:19and his eyes were already on her.
00:06:21She helped a kid with crushes get his lunch, and tipped a janitor generously before making
00:06:25her way to Charlie's table.
00:06:26Hi.
00:06:27Do you mind if I sit here?
00:06:28Uh, of course not.
00:06:29Yes, uh, please, please sit.
00:06:31I am sitting.
00:06:32Oh, right-o.
00:06:33Uh, you want half my sandwich?
00:06:34My grandma made it.
00:06:35The filling is probably this week's leftovers mixed together, and the bread is a bit stale,
00:06:40but it's not bad.
00:06:40I think the gravy she put inside is making it, um, what's the word I'm looking for?
00:06:44Moist.
00:06:45Yeah, it's-it's moist.
00:06:46Tempting, but I haven't had bread in years.
00:06:49Just then, Charlie noticed that half the cafeteria was staring at them.
00:06:53They're thinking what I'm thinking.
00:06:54What is a beautiful, rich model doing with me?
00:06:57This is clearly a prank.
00:06:59You know, I just remembered.
00:07:00The librarian asked me to feed her fish, and they'll die if I don't do it right now.
00:07:04Really?
00:07:04Well, I can come with you.
00:07:06No!
00:07:06I-I'd rather you didn't, okay?
00:07:07They like their privacy.
00:07:09The fish.
00:07:09They're private people.
00:07:10She stared at him, and he felt more flustered as he reached for his bag, and ended up stepping
00:07:15hard on her toe.
00:07:16He turned to apologize, and knocked his sandwich on her clothes.
00:07:19I am so sorry.
00:07:20So sorry.
00:07:21Gotta run.
00:07:22And later in the bathroom, as Maddie cleaned up, Brianna and Amber howled.
00:07:26Will you two stop laughing?
00:07:28He had to feed the librarian's fish?
00:07:30Girl, that is the lamest thing I have ever heard.
00:07:34He couldn't get away fast enough.
00:07:36Oh, that was so funny, too.
00:07:39My grandma made me this gravy sandwich.
00:07:42Yeah, right.
00:07:42His grandma came back from the dead to make him sandwich.
00:07:45Maybe his grandma is just alive?
00:07:48But both my grandmas are dead.
00:07:50Aren't everyone's grandmas dead?
00:07:52Oh my god, focus!
00:07:54He seemed smitten with me when I took those gross kids to the movies.
00:07:58Why is he running away from me now?
00:08:00Maybe I just make him really nervous.
00:08:02Or maybe he isn't stupid, and he's not buying your sudden interest in him.
00:08:07Well, you're in the same class with him.
00:08:09Do something.
00:08:10I'll get the teacher to make me his lab partner tomorrow.
00:08:12Let's see what I can pull off.
00:08:14Charlie just wanted some peace, but the universe literally said no when he got paired up in
00:08:19the lab with Brianna.
00:08:20Are we really gonna open up that frog?
00:08:23There's no way I'm touching that thing.
00:08:25Charlie ignored her and started doing it himself.
00:08:27Oh my god, look at those intestines.
00:08:29Ew, I'm gonna throw up.
00:08:30Why don't you just stop looking at the frog?
00:08:32It's not like you're helping me.
00:08:33Yeah, that sounds good.
00:08:35Anyway, I have to talk to you about something.
00:08:37I think Madison's really into you.
00:08:38Don't ask me why.
00:08:39The heart wants what it wants.
00:08:41So, I was wondering, what do you think about her?
00:08:44Brianna, I don't know what you girls are up to, but I don't have time for this.
00:08:47I'm just here to study hard so I can get into a good college, and Madison can literally
00:08:50have any guy.
00:08:51What do girls like you want with a poor nobody like me?
00:08:54Wow, you just made us sound so arrogant and judgmental.
00:08:57But you've basically written us off without even knowing us.
00:09:00Look, I didn't mean-
00:09:01Yeah, you did.
00:09:02You think girls like us wouldn't like a poor guy since we're shallow, right?
00:09:06And yeah, Maddie could have any guy.
00:09:08But maybe she saw something different in you.
00:09:10Trust me, if it was fancy things we wanted, we don't need a guy for that.
00:09:14Charlie felt unsure.
00:09:15Maddie is beautiful, and she seemed sweet.
00:09:18Maybe I misjudged her.
00:09:19So, how'd it go?
00:09:20Brilliantly.
00:09:21I think I've convinced him a bit that you're genuinely into him.
00:09:24We've gotta keep the ball rolling.
00:09:25Let's find out more about Charlie's personal life.
00:09:27Madison hired a private investigator and found out that Charlie lived with his grandma.
00:09:32She also found out that he worked in a small club as a DJ on weekends.
00:09:36We know where we're going tonight.
00:09:37Oh, please, hey, Tokyo.
00:09:39I've been craving sushi for weeks.
00:09:41No, to this nightclub, silly.
00:09:43But I'll take you for sushi anywhere after the success of Project Plaything.
00:09:47Later, when the Barbie Angels walked into the small club, all eyes turned to them, and Charlie was just as surprised.
00:09:54This really wasn't their kind of place.
00:09:55Once he sees my heart-stopping dance moves, he'll be following me around like a lovesick puppy.
00:10:01The girls moved to the dance floor and had everyone's attention.
00:10:04As the song ended, Madison walked over to Charlie.
00:10:07The music here is amazing.
00:10:09You're really talented.
00:10:10Gee, thanks.
00:10:11Listen, Madison, I've been avoiding you, but I want to say I'm sorry.
00:10:14For that day in the cafeteria, I was such an idiot.
00:10:17I'll forgive you if you dance with me.
00:10:19Oh, no.
00:10:20There's a reason why I'm in charge of the music.
00:10:22Those who can't do, teach.
00:10:23Those who can't dance, DJ.
00:10:25Come on.
00:10:26It can't be that bad.
00:10:27Just put a song on and join me.
00:10:29No, really.
00:10:30Just then, Maddie lost her balance a little, and her drink fell all over the music dashboard.
00:10:35Two seconds later, it stopped working.
00:10:38Oh, my God.
00:10:38What did you do?
00:10:39It was an accident.
00:10:40The system's fried.
00:10:41The club owner's gonna fire me.
00:10:43You came in here just for your fun and games, but this is serious business for me, Madison.
00:10:47Thanks for nothing.
00:10:48Charlie instantly felt awful as he realized everybody was staring at them, and Madison
00:10:52stood frozen in her spot.
00:10:54Then she burst into tears and ran out.
00:10:56Amber and Brianna ran after Madison to her car, where she lost it.
00:11:00Who the heck does he think he is?
00:11:03You're not crying?
00:11:05Of course not.
00:11:06And it took all my willpower to not claw his eyes out.
00:11:09How dare he humiliate me like that?
00:11:11Oh, once he falls in love with me, I'm gonna squish him like a bug.
00:11:16That was brilliant.
00:11:17Now he's gonna feel terrible because you didn't even lash out at him.
00:11:21And he'll think you're the sweetest angel on Earth.
00:11:23Oh, I underestimated you, Maddie.
00:11:25You're the worst.
00:11:27I am the worst.
00:11:28And when I'm done with him, he's gonna wish he was dead.
00:11:31Charlie just couldn't face Madison in school the next day.
00:11:34And after a lot of begging, he finally managed to get her number from Brianna.
00:11:38Little did he know, the girls had decided that Brianna would be the one to talk to him,
00:11:43pretending to be Maddie, because she was the smoothest talker.
00:11:46Charlie felt super nervous as he called her that night.
00:11:48Hello?
00:11:49Hello?
00:11:50Hi.
00:11:51Hello.
00:11:51I mean, hello.
00:11:52Hi.
00:11:52Madison?
00:11:53It's me.
00:11:53Ahem.
00:11:54Charlie.
00:11:55What do you want?
00:11:56Listen, before you hang up, please don't hang up.
00:11:58I'm really, really sorry.
00:12:00I just lost it and you didn't deserve that.
00:12:02And you didn't even scream at me or hit me, which you should have.
00:12:05You still can.
00:12:06Charlie, I get it.
00:12:07You freaked out.
00:12:08I hope you didn't get fired.
00:12:10I did.
00:12:10But it's okay.
00:12:11I'll find another gig.
00:12:12I'm sorry.
00:12:13Are you for real?
00:12:13Don't say sorry to me.
00:12:14Do you think we could just start over?
00:12:16Yeah, I'd like that.
00:12:18Hi, I'm Charlie.
00:12:19Nerd by day, DJ by night, and I get free popcorn once a month at the cinema.
00:12:22You go.
00:12:23I'm Madison, and I'm a famous model.
00:12:25Also, I've been on a diet since forever, so I don't remember what popcorn tastes like anymore.
00:12:30That's the saddest thing I've ever heard.
00:12:33The two ended up talking and laughing for hours, and she kept surprising him.
00:12:37She was funny, well-read, and had great taste in music.
00:12:40It was 4 a.m. when they finally said goodnight.
00:12:43I can't remember the last time I had such a good conversation with someone.
00:12:46The next day, Brianna updated Maddie on everything they'd talked about.
00:12:50But she didn't see Charlie in her biology class.
00:12:52The girls hadn't seen him at recess either.
00:12:54So Brianna sent him a text as Maddie, and he replied.
00:12:57Grandma broke her hip this morning.
00:12:58I'm at the hospital.
00:12:59If you really want to seal the deal with Charlie, you should go see his grandma.
00:13:03Ew, I hate old people with their wrinkly skins and their weird smell.
00:13:08Come on, they're cute.
00:13:09Just be nice to her.
00:13:10Charlie will love it.
00:13:12Should I really interact with her?
00:13:14I don't think I could be nice to an old woman.
00:13:16Brianna then thought of a better idea.
00:13:19After three days, Charlie's grandma was discharged, but he had one problem.
00:13:23The hospital bill.
00:13:24He decided to talk to the hospital staff about paying in installments,
00:13:27but then they told him that someone had already settled it.
00:13:30What?
00:13:30Who?
00:13:31The person had chosen to be anonymous, but Charlie insisted so much that the staff revealed the
00:13:36sender's identity.
00:13:37Madison.
00:13:37Why did you do it, Madison?
00:13:39What do you mean?
00:13:39You paid my grandmom's hospital bill and tried to hide it.
00:13:42Why?
00:13:43Because I knew you wouldn't accept money if I offered it to you, and I made you lose your
00:13:48gig.
00:13:48It's the least I could do.
00:13:50I care about you, Charlie.
00:13:51You can have any guy you want, Maddie.
00:13:53Why me?
00:13:53Well, I've dated enough guys from my circle to know they're not very nice people.
00:13:58They're mostly after my money or fame or my parents' influence, and you don't care about
00:14:03any of that.
00:14:04You're like a breath of fresh air.
00:14:05But if you don't feel the same way, I won't hold it against you.
00:14:09Charlie was about to reply when his grandma called him, but he couldn't stop thinking
00:14:13about Maddie.
00:14:13What she did for me is amazing, but I feel scared about falling for someone like her.
00:14:18Charlie hadn't come back to school for a week, but he and Brianna had been exchanging
00:14:21texts, as Maddie, of course.
00:14:23She was laughing at a meme he'd just sent when she found Elijah by her locker.
00:14:27Ugh, why is he back?
00:14:28Just read something funny?
00:14:29Tell me, babe.
00:14:30I love a good joke.
00:14:31Excuse me?
00:14:32You were just laughing at your phone?
00:14:34I hope it's a joke and not a boy whose butt I have to kick.
00:14:37What are you, my dad?
00:14:39Because you're definitely not my boyfriend.
00:14:41Stay out of my business, and don't call me babe again.
00:14:43I've forgiven you for the last tantrum, Bri.
00:14:46Now tell me where you'd like to have our next date.
00:14:48How do I spell this out for you?
00:14:50There won't be a next-
00:14:52Brianna, is this guy bothering you?
00:14:53Charlie, you're back.
00:14:54No, we're done here.
00:14:56Who's this loser?
00:14:57Did you wander here by mistake from some homeless shelter?
00:15:00Just leave him alone, Elijah.
00:15:02Charlie turned around to see Maddie, and his heart skipped a beat.
00:15:05What happened while I was gone?
00:15:07Since when did you girls start mingling with nobodies like him?
00:15:11Suddenly, Charlie walked over to Maddie, and he pulled her close.
00:15:14There you are.
00:15:14I've been looking for you everywhere.
00:15:16I've missed you.
00:15:17And then he kissed her on the lips, and Brianna was even more surprised than Maddie at Charlie's move.
00:15:23Elijah gritted his teeth and walked away.
00:15:26Wow.
00:15:27What was that about?
00:15:28I've been wanting to say it the whole week, but not on the phone.
00:15:31I do feel the same way.
00:15:33I care about you too, Maddie.
00:15:34A lot.
00:15:35Madison hugged him and smirked at Brianna.
00:15:37Once everyone knew that Maddie and Charlie were dated, his life in school took a 360-degree turn.
00:15:43People stopped to smile at him, say hello, crack jokes.
00:15:47Why does it feel like even the teachers are nicer to me?
00:15:49The other two Barbie angels welcomed him into their gang, and being with Madison was a dream.
00:15:54They went on long walks, watched sunset, ate ice cream, and kissed on top of a Ferris wheel.
00:15:59But later that night, Brianna and Amber cringed hearing Maddie throw up.
00:16:03Is Charlie trying to kill me?
00:16:05That gross ice cream at the amusement park made me sick.
00:16:09And my feet hurt from the long walks.
00:16:12And what is so fascinating about freaking sunsets?
00:16:16I think it's sweet.
00:16:17Yeah, because you're not the one suffering.
00:16:19But there is one thing about Charlie.
00:16:22He sure can kiss.
00:16:24Makes you feel like you're the only girl in the world.
00:16:27Ugh, please.
00:16:28Spare us the make-out details.
00:16:29Okay, okay.
00:16:31Listen, Brianna.
00:16:32Try giving him a hint about planning fancier dates for me.
00:16:36I know he's poor, but come on.
00:16:38He's dating me.
00:16:40The next day, while Charlie was watching football practice,
00:16:43the ball suddenly came in his direction, and he gave it a strong kickback.
00:16:46Hey, kid.
00:16:47You play football?
00:16:48I used to, but I don't have time now.
00:16:50Come on.
00:16:51Grab some shoes and join for a game.
00:16:53Just then, Charlie caught Elijah looking at him like he was a bug,
00:16:57and that motivated him.
00:16:58Elijah was coming at him aggressively,
00:17:00but Charlie dodged him and kicked the ball straight into the goalpost.
00:17:04Charlie, you're a natural.
00:17:05You have to join the team.
00:17:07Sir, I really don't think I can commit to practice.
00:17:10Kid, just try it out for a month and see if it works, okay?
00:17:13Elijah, you better watch out.
00:17:15He's gonna give you a run for your money.
00:17:17Charlie ran off to the locker room to put back the cleat,
00:17:20but when he walked out, someone had pushed him to the ground.
00:17:23What the heck, dude?
00:17:24I just don't understand why a low-class idiot like you is in this school.
00:17:27I'm here on scholarship, which means I earned my spot here.
00:17:30But that doesn't mean you belong here.
00:17:33Well, Maddie doesn't think so.
00:17:34And the coach.
00:17:35Don't let the coach's stupid words get to your head.
00:17:37And as for Maddie, gosh, you're a moron.
00:17:40Do you really think-
00:17:41Just then, someone pushed Elijah away hard.
00:17:44Dude, seriously.
00:17:45What is wrong with you?
00:17:47Why are you jumping to his defense?
00:17:48Because he's my friend.
00:17:50And what, are you threatened by a little competition on the field?
00:17:53Oh, please.
00:17:54This loser just had beginner's luck today.
00:17:56I'll crush him next time.
00:17:58And he won't have mommy out there to defend him.
00:18:00Elijah and his friends went out laughing
00:18:02as Charlie picked up his bag and fished out a broken snow globe.
00:18:06Great.
00:18:06This was for Maddie.
00:18:07She's so excited about her Vogue photo shoot coming out.
00:18:09And I wanted to give her something thoughtful.
00:18:11What was this supposed to be?
00:18:12It was a guy.
00:18:13But instead of arms, he had wings.
00:18:15Like a fan.
00:18:16And it said, I'm your number one fan.
00:18:18Oh, God.
00:18:19I'm glad it's broken.
00:18:20It's so lame.
00:18:21No, it's cute.
00:18:23Yeah, maybe you could do something a little extra.
00:18:26Rent a car, get some flowers, go out for a nice dinner.
00:18:29Girls like being pampered.
00:18:30Wow, yeah.
00:18:31That sounds nice.
00:18:32Thanks, Brianna.
00:18:32Also for saving my butt.
00:18:33Also for calling me your friend.
00:18:35You're welcome.
00:18:36This is the place you were raving about?
00:18:39And why don't you have a reservation?
00:18:41It's walk-ins only, but it's so worth the wait.
00:18:44After 30 minutes, when they finally got a table, the place was dirty and loud.
00:18:48Isn't the energy of this place something else?
00:18:51Yeah, it's something.
00:18:53Oh, my God.
00:18:54I just fell something on my foot.
00:18:56Maybe it was my foot.
00:18:57But just then, a mouse jumped onto Maddie's lap.
00:19:00She screamed and started jumping around like a maniac.
00:19:02Then she tripped on her dress and went crashing straight into another table.
00:19:06Ah!
00:19:07Oh, my God.
00:19:10Madison, I am so sorry.
00:19:12Why would you bring me to this horrible place?
00:19:16And did you see all those people who were making videos of me?
00:19:19This is gonna be all over the internet.
00:19:22I get why you're upset.
00:19:23But you know, today's video is tomorrow's old news.
00:19:25No one remembers these things.
00:19:27Excuse me?
00:19:29Are you gonna explain to me how fame works?
00:19:32People don't forget anything.
00:19:34Once something's on the internet, it stays there forever.
00:19:38People can pull it out anytime they want.
00:19:41Ugh!
00:19:41This is officially the worst day of my life.
00:19:45With that, Madison stormed out of the car.
00:19:48Brianna couldn't stop laughing as she watched Madison's video posted online.
00:19:52But now, she had to do some damage control.
00:19:54So she called him as Maddie.
00:19:56I've had some time to cool down, and I'm sorry for going off on you like that.
00:20:00And I'm sorry about the mouse and the video.
00:20:02You're right.
00:20:02I don't know what it's like to be famous.
00:20:04It's the best and the worst.
00:20:06It's great to have people look up to you,
00:20:08but sometimes they talk about you like you're not even a real person.
00:20:11And imagine having your failures or embarrassing moments
00:20:14splashed across the news as entertainment.
00:20:17It sounds brutal.
00:20:18I'm almost glad I'm a poor nobody.
00:20:20As they were talking, Charlie ended up telling Brianna all about his amazing grandma
00:20:24and how she'd made him apply to the school.
00:20:26I just want to get myself into a good university so I can make something of myself
00:20:30and spoil my grandma rotten.
00:20:32She deserves the whole world.
00:20:34Well, you're definitely the guy who'd get it for her, Charlie.
00:20:37Over the next few weeks, Charlie found himself bewitched and confused by Madison.
00:20:41He felt closer than ever over their late night talk,
00:20:44but in person, she was totally unpredictable.
00:20:46One moment, she'd be all over him, and the next, she was snapping his head off.
00:20:51Charlie, do you think I'm fat?
00:20:52Um, no.
00:20:54Why did you pause before answering?
00:20:56What? No, I didn't.
00:20:57Yes, you did.
00:20:58You said, um, no.
00:21:01You even looked at me before replying.
00:21:03I shouldn't have looked.
00:21:05Why would you look?
00:21:06Don't you just know?
00:21:07Maddie, you're being irrational.
00:21:09Now I'm crazy, am I?
00:21:12Well, I'm not fat.
00:21:14I'm PMSing, so I'm bloated.
00:21:15I hadn't noticed, really.
00:21:17Ugh, you're so insensitive.
00:21:19You have no idea what it's like to go through this every month.
00:21:23Right now, I feel like killing someone, and I also really want that Thai red curry ice cream.
00:21:29I'll get it for you, babe.
00:21:29Whatever helped you feel better.
00:21:31You getting out of my face would make me feel better.
00:21:34And yes, the ice cream.
00:21:35Now.
00:21:36You got it.
00:21:36Amber and Maddie started laughing hard as soon as Charlie was gone.
00:21:40I really hope he gets a few tubs of that ice cream.
00:21:47Sounds delicious.
00:21:49I'm pretty sure there's no Thai red curry ice cream, but let's see what he does.
00:21:54Anyway, for Christmas, my parents and I are going to our ski resort as usual, and I'm inviting you girls with your parents.
00:22:01Should I invite Charlie?
00:22:02You have to, right?
00:22:03He's your boyfriend.
00:22:04Yeah, yeah, and at least three of my exes will be there, and I'd rather not show up single, but I'm going to have to give Charlie a makeover before I take him.
00:22:13On his first day at the resort, Charlie slipped out of his room at five in the morning and found Brianna waiting in the kitchen.
00:22:19Oh, you're here.
00:22:20I almost thought you wouldn't come.
00:22:21I almost thought that, too.
00:22:22I don't know why I agreed to the early morning skiing lesson.
00:22:25Because you're a good person and you like me?
00:22:27I'm just saving Maddie some embarrassment, because you'll definitely make a fool of yourself without my help.
00:22:33Couldn't agree more.
00:22:33They headed out to one of the smaller slopes, and she explained skiing techniques to him.
00:22:38I think you're ready.
00:22:39Well, as ready as you'll ever be.
00:22:41If I die, please break the noose gently to Grandma.
00:22:43You play football against Elijah.
00:22:45You'll survive this, too.
00:22:47Now, don't be a wuss.
00:22:48Time to go!
00:22:49Brianna whizzed down the slope, and the cold wind in her face made her feel alive.
00:22:53She turned around to look at Charlie, who looked like a baby goat learning to walk.
00:22:58Charlie, just loosen up!
00:22:59Come on, I'm racing you down to the end!
00:23:01Charlie took deep breath and relaxed.
00:23:04He was gaining momentum and actually starting to enjoy it.
00:23:07Brianna was flying ahead effortlessly, but he was catching up.
00:23:10But then suddenly, he was going too fast.
00:23:12He tried to slow down, but he just couldn't.
00:23:14And moments later, he felt himself crashing straight into Brianna, and they went tumbling into the snow.
00:23:19Oh my god, Brianna!
00:23:20Are you alive?
00:23:21Is your neck broken?
00:23:22Please don't die!
00:23:22Say something!
00:23:23Oh, can you shut up for just one second?
00:23:26Yes, of course!
00:23:27Oh, I thought I'd killed you!
00:23:29Charlie pulled her into a bear hug.
00:23:30You're really okay?
00:23:31Yeah, I just got the wind knocked out of me.
00:23:34Imagine the headlines if something had happened to you.
00:23:36Stupid, worthless nobody injures beautiful teen goddess.
00:23:39You, you think I'm beautiful?
00:23:41Well, duh!
00:23:42That's not even opinion!
00:23:43It's just a scientific fact.
00:23:44The sun rises in the east, water boils at 100 degrees, Brianna's beautiful.
00:23:49You got some snow on your face.
00:23:50As they started making their way back, Brianna felt her heart racing.
00:23:54Oh, shake it off, Brianna!
00:23:55You cannot be attracted to your best friend's fake boyfriend!
00:23:58After an exhausting day of skiing, Charlie wanted to crash, but he had to dress up for a fancy dinner instead.
00:24:04The seats next to Maddie were taken, so he quickly took one next to Brianna.
00:24:07Please tell me, why are there six forks in front of me?
00:24:10And which one can I use to stab myself in the eye?
00:24:13Oh, definitely the meat fork for a quick death.
00:24:16Madison watched the two laughing, and she didn't like it.
00:24:19I don't want her getting more attention than me, even if it's from stupid Charlie.
00:24:24Hey, Charlie!
00:24:25Could you sit next to Amber, please?
00:24:26Her parents couldn't come, and she, um, broke up with her boyfriend.
00:24:30She could use some cheering up.
00:24:32Charlie nodded reluctantly and took the seat next to Amber.
00:24:35So, Amber, you want to talk about your breakup?
00:24:37Um, okay, sure, why not?
00:24:39It happened three years ago, and his name is Leo.
00:24:43And that's what you're sad about today?
00:24:45That's a bit offensive.
00:24:46I'm not sad.
00:24:47Do I look sad to you?
00:24:49Charlie was relieved as they were served their first fish court, but Amber was staring down
00:24:54at her plate in tears.
00:24:55I'm so sorry.
00:24:57Please forgive me.
00:24:59What are you talking about?
00:25:00You will be missed, Nemo.
00:25:02Right, Charlie?
00:25:03Tell him he'll be missed.
00:25:04Uh, yeah, you will be missed, Nemo.
00:25:06Just then, Brianna's mom, who was sitting opposite him, spoke.
00:25:10So, Charlie, where were you studying before?
00:25:12Uh, well, I was in public school in another town.
00:25:14I got a scholarship here, so I moved with my grandma, who raised me.
00:25:18And what does your grandma do?
00:25:19She's an amazing healer.
00:25:21She cures people with herbal medicines and different techniques.
00:25:24So, she's not a real doctor?
00:25:26No, not in the typical sense.
00:25:29And this healer thing, it makes her enough money?
00:25:32Mom, stop!
00:25:34It's okay.
00:25:35Yeah, she earns enough.
00:25:36And I work at the cinema, and I also DJ on the weekends.
00:25:38We manage to take care of each other.
00:25:40There was an uncomfortable silence, and Charlie felt his face turning hot.
00:25:44Then, Maddie's mom spoke with her country accent.
00:25:47That's sweet, honey.
00:25:48You seem like a brat kid, and I'm sure you'll go places one day.
00:25:52It's funny how life turns around.
00:25:54I mean, look at me.
00:25:55I was raising little Maddie as a single teenage mom in a trailer park with nothing.
00:26:00And then, boom, one day, I won the frickin' lottery, and we were rich.
00:26:05Soon after, I met my husband, and life's amazing.
00:26:08Now, let's raise a toast.
00:26:09Our blessing.
00:26:11Brianna looked over at Madison, who looked like she was gonna crush her glass.
00:26:15She always felt ashamed of her past, and that she wasn't born rich like everyone else.
00:26:19Just then, Amber said she wasn't feeling well, and as she was leaving, she tripped over the carpet and fell down.
00:26:25Amber, are you okay?
00:26:27Did you hit your head?
00:26:28No, I didn't.
00:26:29But it hurts so bad lately.
00:26:31And even my eyes.
00:26:33Like, sometimes I wake up, and it takes me like two seconds to see the light.
00:26:36And I swear the lights are on.
00:26:38You know, I'm a scared cute mouse, right?
00:26:40I don't sleep in the dark.
00:26:41Okay, I'm gonna take her to her room to rest.
00:26:44When Madison returns later to the main hall, she suddenly overheard Brianna's mom and another woman talking.
00:26:50That woman sure loves to tell her trailer park story.
00:26:54She's been rich for years now, but she still sounds so trashy.
00:26:59Money can't buy class.
00:27:01And now look at Madison's choice of boyfriend.
00:27:03I mean, he's sweet, but no amount of designer clothes can hide where you really come from.
00:27:10Madison's ear burned as she stormed off and ran straight into Charlie in the hallway.
00:27:15Hey, I was looking for you.
00:27:16How's Amber?
00:27:17Why did you say all that nonsense at dinner?
00:27:19What?
00:27:19Oh, I'm on scholarship, and I work at the cinema, and my granny does voodoo.
00:27:24It's not voodoo.
00:27:26And why would I hide all that?
00:27:27It doesn't embarrass me.
00:27:28And even your mom was poor, and she's not ashamed of it.
00:27:31Well, she should be.
00:27:33I don't know why she keeps telling that story so proudly.
00:27:37No one respects her for it.
00:27:39And I don't want to be reminded of the cheap start of my life.
00:27:43She said all that stuff because of you.
00:27:45I've been trying to please you all day, Maddie, but I'm really tired now.
00:27:49I hate skiing, these clothes are pretentious, and I don't like talking about my grandma like that.
00:27:54Charlie stormed off to his room, packed his thing, and called a cab.
00:27:57Charlie didn't speak to Maddie for a few days, but he gave in after all her apologies.
00:28:02I'm really sorry, okay?
00:28:04I just wanted my stepdad to like you, and he's a bit difficult.
00:28:09But I shouldn't have asked you to act differently.
00:28:12I like you, just as you are.
00:28:13Well, if you really want to make it up, you'll have to spend more time with my family now.
00:28:18Uh, of course.
00:28:19I volunteer at the community center for old people and take Grandma there every Saturday.
00:28:22You should come.
00:28:23Can't wait.
00:28:25Madison had begged Brianna and Amber to accompany her.
00:28:28Eek, oh, this place smells like disease and something rotten.
00:28:33Shut up, Maddie, and just act normal.
00:28:35After they'd all met, Charlie asked Maddie to help him set up a game of musical chairs,
00:28:39while Brianna joined his grandma.
00:28:41I'm so glad to meet you, girl.
00:28:43Charlie was certain he wouldn't make any friends at his new school.
00:28:46You phrased a pretty nice guy.
00:28:48Oh, trust me.
00:28:49I didn't do much.
00:28:50That kid was born with a heart of gold.
00:28:53Once, when he was eight, he came home saying he'd lost his bicycle somewhere.
00:28:57And I was so mad.
00:28:59Well, a week later, I found him three streets down, teaching a little girl how to ride the bicycle.
00:29:05He told me that she'd lost her brother recently, and the cycle made her happy.
00:29:09She needed it more than he did.
00:29:11That's what he said.
00:29:12Hey, he's always been special.
00:29:15Later that night, Brianna's heart felt heavy when she got Charlie's text.
00:29:18Thanks for today, Maddie.
00:29:19It meant the world to me.
00:29:20And I love you.
00:29:21I love you too, Charlie.
00:29:23The next day, when Brianna showed Maddie the text, she was ecstatic.
00:29:27Finally, the three golden words.
00:29:30It's time for phase three of Project Plaything.
00:29:34Dump his sorry butt.
00:29:35Yay, then sushi in Tokyo.
00:29:38But Maddie, he really cares about you, and dumping him out of the blue feels cruel.
00:29:43Can't we think of an easier way to let him down?
00:29:45But this was always the plan.
00:29:47Are we supposed to care about his feelings now?
00:29:50Well, yeah.
00:29:51We've gotten to know him, and I just think he would take this really hard.
00:29:55You know what?
00:29:55You're right.
00:29:56He is a bit oversensitive.
00:29:59Maybe I can be really difficult the next few weeks, and then he'll just get sick of me and be happy to break up.
00:30:05That sounds better.
00:30:07Thanks.
00:30:07After Brianna walked away, Madison turned to Amber.
00:30:10Who does she suddenly think she is, Mother Teresa?
00:30:14I'm tired of Charlie, and I want to pay him back for the times he was rude to me.
00:30:19I have the perfect plan to dump that loser.
00:30:22But don't say anything to Brianna, okay?
00:30:23Oh, I love it when we have secrets.
00:30:25Just the two of us.
00:30:26Three days later, it was Madison's birthday, and she was having a big party in a dance club with Charlie as DJ.
00:30:32Then suddenly, she climbed onto a table with a mic.
00:30:34May I have everyone's attention, please?
00:30:37I have something to say to our resident DJ.
00:30:39Everyone fell silent, and Brianna suddenly had a horrible feeling.
00:30:44As you all know, I've turned 17 today, and I just want to start this year fresh.
00:30:50So, Charlie, I'll start with you, because I just can't fake things anymore.
00:30:55You are just a game to me, okay?
00:30:57To us.
00:30:58I got bored, so my girls and I decided to make you fall in love with me as a challenge.
00:31:04Actually, Brianna was the one who brought you to my attention.
00:31:08It's been fun messing around with you, but it's just made me realize that dating below my league isn't for me.
00:31:15I don't relate to you and your third world problems, dude, but thanks for a few fun weeks, and I'm sure you'll find a nice average girl soon.
00:31:25Ciao.
00:31:26Charlie just stared at her, frozen in his place.
00:31:29Joke, right?
00:31:29This doesn't make any sense.
00:31:31He suddenly looked over at Brianna, who looked pale.
00:31:34His head started spinning.
00:31:35Need to get out of here.
00:31:36He threw his headphones aside and started running, but then he tripped and crashed to the floor.
00:31:41Suddenly, Brianna was by his side, helping him up, but he pushed her away.
00:31:45Madison and Amber were laughing like hyenas, and then someone put on a song, and they all started dancing again.
00:31:51Brianna marched over Madison and pulled her aside.
00:31:53How could you do this, Maddie?
00:31:55You said you'd let him down easy.
00:31:56No, Bri.
00:31:57I said I'd crush him like a bug once he fell for me, and you thought I was brilliant then.
00:32:03What changed?
00:32:04What changed is that we found out he's a really nice guy.
00:32:07He didn't deserve that.
00:32:08Not my problem.
00:32:10I wasn't gonna keep dating him just because you suddenly decided to become a humanitarian.
00:32:16Now, please, don't create a scene at my party.
00:32:19Tears stung Brianna's eyes.
00:32:21She remembered Charlie's heartbroken faith, and she left immediately.
00:32:25Brianna didn't know how she was gonna face Charlie and Saul the next day, but he didn't show up.
00:32:29He wouldn't reply to any text or call, and he didn't come the entire week.
00:32:34Yes!
00:32:34I checked, and my pivot plane is free this weekend.
00:32:37They're going to Tokyo, ladies.
00:32:39What?
00:32:40Why?
00:32:40Well, Project Plaything is successfully over, and I promised Anne I'd take her for sushi.
00:32:45Remember?
00:32:46Right.
00:32:47Well, consider me out of this plan.
00:32:49Brianna walked off, and a smirk spread across Madison's face.
00:32:52You thinking what I'm thinking, Amber?
00:32:55If you're thinking about what being by a butterfly feels like, then yeah.
00:32:58No.
00:32:59I mean, about Brianna.
00:33:00Why do you think she isn't in any mood to celebrate with us?
00:33:03Maybe she's racist and doesn't like sushi.
00:33:06Or maybe she's in love with that trashy Charlie.
00:33:09Ew.
00:33:10Who likes trash?
00:33:11Looks like our BriBri does.
00:33:13Imagine crushing on someone with that social status.
00:33:16You know?
00:33:17Maybe you're right.
00:33:18When we were at the resort, I saw those two sneaking out at five morning.
00:33:21I had a headache, and I went down to love some gummy bears.
00:33:24They always make me feel better.
00:33:25Maybe.
00:33:26Charlie loves her, too.
00:33:27Of course he doesn't.
00:33:28He fell for me, not her.
00:33:30She's pathetic for wanting him.
00:33:33That evening, Brianna went to the cinema, and she was relieved to find Charlie's counter.
00:33:37She walked in, her heart pounding.
00:33:39Hey, Charlie.
00:33:41He looked up at her coldly.
00:33:42Can we talk?
00:33:44Do you comment?
00:33:45He walked out from behind the counter, went outside, and Brianna followed.
00:33:48How dare you show up at my workplace and force me to talk to you?
00:33:51I just need a chance to explain and apologize.
00:33:54Please.
00:33:55I know how you must feel.
00:33:56How could you possibly know that when you're heartless?
00:33:58How evil are you, and how empty are your lives that you decided to hurt someone just for fun?
00:34:03Charlie, you're right.
00:34:05It was cruel.
00:34:06Not only did the girl that I thought I loved completely humiliated me,
00:34:09I also find out that the person who acted like my friend is a snake.
00:34:13Don't say that, please.
00:34:15I thought you'd listen.
00:34:16Hi, because I'm a nice guy, so you thought I could feel better after treating me like dirt?
00:34:20And why are you here apologizing now?
00:34:21I know I was a part of the whole thing, but then I got to know you, and I didn't want to do it anymore.
00:34:27Especially after all those late night calls.
00:34:29That was you?
00:34:31So I never talked to Madison on the phone?
00:34:33No.
00:34:33That was all me.
00:34:35And you and I, we have some connection.
00:34:37What are you talking about?
00:34:38I don't even know you.
00:34:40Just leave me alone.
00:34:40I can't take this anymore.
00:34:42Charlie went down against the wall with his head buried in his arms.
00:34:45Just then, his colleague came running out.
00:34:47He's been having a very hard time.
00:34:49Please, don't make it worse.
00:34:50Just go.
00:34:51Rihanna turned and ran away, heart about to burst.
00:34:55On Monday, Rihanna was sitting on the bleachers in football practice when she saw Charlie walk onto the field.
00:35:00Oh, thank God he's back.
00:35:02Hey, kid, where have you been all week?
00:35:04I had a family emergency, and I'm quitting the team, sir.
00:35:07No, Charlie, you're so talented.
00:35:10I'm sorry, but I have a scholarship to maintain, and it's all I can find right now.
00:35:13Thank you for giving me an opportunity, though.
00:35:15I was expecting to run off like a scaredy little cat soon enough.
00:35:19No trash talk, Elijah.
00:35:21All right, let's take a break, everyone.
00:35:23Just then, Madison and Amber came and sat on the bleachers, and Charlie made eye contact with Maddie for a few seconds, then walked off.
00:35:29Wow, he really looks heartbroken over me.
00:35:33And me, or does Charlie look kind of hot with that broody cold face?
00:35:38He was just too nice before, like a puppy.
00:35:41Looked like a loser before, looks like a loser now.
00:35:44I just knew you couldn't be dating him for real.
00:35:47He's twice the guy you'll ever be.
00:35:49You said something, Brianna?
00:35:50Yeah, I said, he's twice the guy you'll ever be.
00:35:53Oh, really?
00:35:54How'd you reach the conclusion?
00:35:55Well, firstly, he's clearly better than you at football.
00:35:58Secondly, he's definitely smarter than you.
00:36:01Thirdly, he's a pretty cool day.
00:36:03Fourth, and most importantly, he's not some arrogant, self-abrupt jerk like you who makes me grin every time I look at him.
00:36:10There was a stunned silence as everyone stared at Brianna, Elijah first to grin.
00:36:15Feisty! I like that.
00:36:18So how about we go on a third date, and you can continue talking about their...
00:36:22Not even in your dream!
00:36:23And as Brianna started walking off, Elijah blocked her way to tease her, but she suddenly pushed him with unexpected force.
00:36:30He fell down a couple of steps, and his knee hit the ground hard.
00:36:33What is wrong with you?
00:36:35Brianna looked just as shocked by what she done.
00:36:38At the dinner table, Brianna's dad was cheerfully trying to make conversation, but Brianna seemed lost.
00:36:43Just then, her mom walked in, looking mad.
00:36:46Brianna, do you just enjoy making my life difficult?
00:36:50Look, it is about Elijah.
00:36:51You pushed him down the bleacher?
00:36:54He was pestering me, so I just pushed him away.
00:36:56I didn't mean for him to fall.
00:36:58He's hurt his knee seriously, and he's on bed rest for two months.
00:37:02His mother, my new business partner, is furious.
00:37:06If she pulls out her investment...
00:37:07She said it was an accident.
00:37:10Surely his mom would understand.
00:37:12Well, it's not like Brianna hasn't rejected Elijah, or been rude to him before.
00:37:17I don't expect his mom to understand anything.
00:37:20I don't care what his mom thinks.
00:37:22Because you don't care about me.
00:37:24I've built everything for you.
00:37:26But no, you'd rather be an actress.
00:37:29And now, you're upon ruining...
00:37:31Oh, God.
00:37:32I can't have this conversation again.
00:37:34Just because I don't want your company, doesn't mean I don't care about you.
00:37:38And stop trying to make me feel bad.
00:37:40If any consolation, I feel terrible already.
00:37:43Brianna stormed off with her mom, staring after her.
00:37:46She's always been difficult.
00:37:48But something extra has been going on with her lately.
00:37:51I never thought she'd be violent.
00:37:53That's an exaggeration.
00:37:54And you never try to actually talk to her.
00:37:58She doesn't talk to me.
00:38:00I'm going to ask her friends what's up with her.
00:38:02Charlie had returned to school, but he just kept his head down,
00:38:05talked to no one, and pretended Brianna didn't exist.
00:38:09She kept her distance from him,
00:38:10but she also found excuses to stay away from Amber and Maddie.
00:38:13One day, she was reading in the empty gym during recess,
00:38:16when Madison snatched her book.
00:38:19Come on, Bri.
00:38:20This is getting ridiculous.
00:38:21It's time for an intervention.
00:38:23What?
00:38:23We know you're going through something.
00:38:25Even your mom is so worried.
00:38:27I told her you've been avoiding us, too.
00:38:30And, well, I think I know what the problem is.
00:38:32You lied to me about your breakup with Charlie, and I'm mad.
00:38:35But it's not just that, right?
00:38:37I think you have feelings for him.
00:38:39Yes, I have feelings, because I'm not a robot.
00:38:42And I'm also mad at myself for being a part of this horrible plan.
00:38:46It's making me think about the kind of people we are.
00:38:48Kind who like to have fun.
00:38:50We have everything, Maddie.
00:38:52And we decided to pick on the poor orphan who's working hard to support his grandma for fun?
00:38:57Who the heck cares?
00:38:58I care.
00:39:00I don't want to be this person, and I don't want to have friends like that either.
00:39:03So, are you saying you don't want to be a Barbie angel anymore?
00:39:07Yeah, I don't.
00:39:08And for the record, that's a really stupid name.
00:39:11Wow.
00:39:12You're so ungrateful.
00:39:15When you came to school as a nobody, I made you one of the most popular girls.
00:39:20And in case you've forgotten, I got you your first audition.
00:39:25How could I forget?
00:39:26You never let me.
00:39:27Yes, you got me the audition.
00:39:29But I got the role because of my talent.
00:39:31And it's not a good enough reason for me to follow you and do whatever you say anymore.
00:39:36We're done.
00:39:36Oh, if you think.
00:39:38Just then, Amber fell to the floor with a thud.
00:39:41Amber, get up.
00:39:42That's not funny.
00:39:43But Amber was unresponsive.
00:39:45She'd actually fainted.
00:39:47They immediately rushed her to the hospital, where she regained consciousness, and the doctors ordered some tests.
00:39:52Oh, my head.
00:39:54It feels like there are a thousand cactuses inside.
00:39:58You're gonna be okay.
00:39:59Just go, Brianna.
00:40:01It's not like you care.
00:40:02You made her faint by stressing her out.
00:40:04You were the one shouting at me.
00:40:06Please, both of you, shut up.
00:40:09All of Amber's tests turned out clear.
00:40:11Her parents even sent her reports to the best doctors around the world.
00:40:15But no one could figure out her problem.
00:40:17Meanwhile, her headaches and fainting spells continued.
00:40:20But one day, Brianna's mom brought up something unexpected while visiting Amber.
00:40:24Someone at work had a back problem.
00:40:26And she swears this healer fixed her after the doctors gave up.
00:40:30I know it sounds a bit ridiculous, but maybe you could try it?
00:40:34At this point, we'll try anything.
00:40:37Who's this healer?
00:40:38Well, these girls know her grandson.
00:40:40It's Charlie's grandma.
00:40:42Amber's parents went over to Charlie's house, and they were told she can't see them.
00:40:46What did you expect?
00:40:47She hates us, of course.
00:40:49Why is she making this personal?
00:40:51Why won't she help someone if she can?
00:40:53Look, maybe if we go in there and convince her how sorry we are, she might listen.
00:40:58Fine.
00:40:58The three girls went over to Charlie's place one evening, and to their dismay, Charlie opened the door.
00:41:04What are you doing here?
00:41:04Don't flatter yourself.
00:41:06We're not here for you.
00:41:07We want to talk to your grandma.
00:41:08She doesn't have time for people like you.
00:41:10I made that clear before.
00:41:11Charlie, please.
00:41:12I need your grandma to take a look at me.
00:41:14Something's really wrong with my head.
00:41:16You got that right.
00:41:17We're not messing around.
00:41:18Really.
00:41:19Amber is suffering, and the doctors can't figure out what's wrong.
00:41:22Not my problem.
00:41:23You people are rich enough to find someone else.
00:41:25Just leave me and my grandma alone.
00:41:26Wait, I'll see her.
00:41:28No, you don't have to do that, Grandma.
00:41:30Step aside, Charlie.
00:41:31Charlie stormed off angrily, while Grandma led the girls to her healing room.
00:41:36After Amber described all her symptoms, Grandma made her lie down and prepared her healing herbs,
00:41:41then started a strange ritual on her as the others watched.
00:41:45Once she was done, Grandma made Amber drink some tea.
00:41:48How do you feel, dear?
00:41:49I feel good.
00:41:51My head feels lighter, like there was a whale sitting on it before, and now it's jumped off.
00:41:55I haven't felt like this in weeks.
00:42:00Grandma told her to come for two more sessions, and the girls got ready to leave.
00:42:04I need to apologize to you for what we did.
00:42:07Maybe you think I'm lying, but I really am sorry.
00:42:10I wish I could take it back.
00:42:12I don't think you're lying, Brianna.
00:42:14I'll see you girls soon.
00:42:17After they left, Grandma found Charlie sulking in his room.
00:42:20You turned away Amber before, too.
00:42:24I wasn't expecting this from you, Charlie.
00:42:27Why does everyone keep expecting me to be an angel?
00:42:29You know what they did.
00:42:29They're awful.
00:42:30But it's my duty to heal people, whether they're awful or not.
00:42:36And what they did was wrong.
00:42:38But you have to let go of the anger and move on.
00:42:41I'm trying, Grandma.
00:42:42I really am.
00:42:43I just feel so stupid.
00:42:45How could I let someone treat me so badly and humiliate me?
00:42:47It's because you see the good in people.
00:42:50Yeah, it's called being an idiot.
00:42:51Don't lose that heart of gold, kid.
00:42:54You'll find the right person one day who will really love you for it.
00:42:59Charlie decided not to let the spoiled brats get to him anymore.
00:43:03He worked really hard for the midterms, and when the results came, he was at the top of his class.
00:43:08What are you grinning about, Charlie?
00:43:10Found a golden ticket in a chocolate bar?
00:43:13Wow, I'm surprised you actually read a book.
00:43:15And I'm just happy about my grades, which have improved since we stopped hanging out together.
00:43:19Maybe your dumbass was rubbing off on me before.
00:43:21You can't talk to me like that.
00:43:23Just because your grandma helped Amber doesn't mean you're anything special.
00:43:28You're still a nobody.
00:43:30I'd rather not talk to you at all, Madison.
00:43:32And thanks for making it so easy to move on from you.
00:43:34I can't even remember what I liked in the first place.
00:43:36You go, Charlie.
00:43:37As Charlie walked away, Brianna impulsively called out.
00:43:41Hey, Charlie, wait.
00:43:42What is it?
00:43:42Um, I just wanted to say thank you to your grandma for helping Amber.
00:43:47I'm sure you already thanked her.
00:43:48Yeah, but I just, I was hoping.
00:43:50Charlie, is there no way we could be friends again?
00:43:53We used to get along so well.
00:43:55But that wasn't real, right?
00:43:57And now I'd never be able to trust a word you say.
00:43:59So yeah, not gonna happen.
00:44:01But really, that was an Oscar-worthy performance.
00:44:04I'm sure you'll have an amazing career as an actress.
00:44:06After Amber's last session, Brianna wanted to thank Charlie's grandma.
00:44:10So she dropped by his place with some gifts when she knew he'd be working.
00:44:14She was surprised to find the front door already open.
00:44:17And she gasped when she saw grandma on the kitchen floor.
00:44:20Oh my god, are you okay?
00:44:21Brianna?
00:44:22What are you doing here?
00:44:24What happened?
00:44:25Shh.
00:44:26Not so loud.
00:44:28You have to leave.
00:44:29What?
00:44:29Someone broke into the house and he's upstairs right now.
00:44:34Please, I don't want to put you in danger.
00:44:36I'm not leaving you.
00:44:38Brianna heard the thief coming down the stairs and quickly locked the kitchen door and called 911.
00:44:43He kept kicking the door.
00:44:45But minutes later, when he heard the police siren, he ran out and escaped.
00:44:48From your description, he seems like a crazy homeless guy who's been bothering other people too.
00:44:54We'll get him.
00:44:55Did he hurt you, ma'am?
00:44:56No.
00:44:57I just fell when he pushed me aside.
00:44:59But I'm fine.
00:45:00We should still get a checkup.
00:45:02I should call Charlie.
00:45:03Sweetie, he's out of town for a day.
00:45:06Please don't tell him right now.
00:45:07Well, you can't be here alone for the night.
00:45:09I'll be just fine.
00:45:12But Brianna was so persistent that grandma had to give in.
00:45:15Brianna took her home and made her comfortable in one of the guest rooms.
00:45:18You should have asked me before inviting your guest.
00:45:21Maybe I would have liked to say no.
00:45:23Mom, she cured Amber.
00:45:25Letting her stay for one night is a pretty small thing to do.
00:45:27Charlie hurried over to Brianna's house as soon as he was back.
00:45:31Hey, is grandma okay?
00:45:33She wasn't hurt, right?
00:45:34She's completely fine, but she's asleep right now.
00:45:36You can come in and wait.
00:45:38I'm fine right here.
00:45:39Charlie sat down on the porch seat and Brianna turned to go back in.
00:45:43Wait, I'm sorry.
00:45:44I just want to thank you.
00:45:45Grandma told me on the phone how brave you were and you didn't leave her.
00:45:48And then you brought her here and you didn't have to, but I'm so grateful.
00:45:52What?
00:45:53Why are you smiling at me like that?
00:45:55You sound like the old Charlie today.
00:45:57The one who talks too much.
00:45:58I missed him.
00:45:59Brianna, this doesn't fix everything.
00:46:01I appreciate what you did, but I'm wondering even now why you helped grandma.
00:46:05Why do you want to be friends with me?
00:46:06Why are you trying all the time to make up for what you did?
00:46:08Brianna gulped and walked closer to him.
00:46:11There's something I need to get off my chest.
00:46:13So just hear me out, okay?
00:46:15Somehow getting to know you has changed me, Charlie.
00:46:18You're the sweetest, kindest guy I've ever met and nothing has ever hurt me more than
00:46:24hurting you.
00:46:25But you know what?
00:46:26It started feeling really bad even when you were still dating Maddie because I realized
00:46:30that I was falling for you.
00:46:32I know I don't have the right to say that, but I just had to or I'd explode.
00:46:37And I know you don't feel the same way and it's okay, but I'm in love with you.
00:46:42That's all.
00:46:43Brianna turned to leave, but suddenly Charlie took her hand.
00:46:47Charlie took her hand and then to her shock, he kissed her.
00:46:50Brianna's mom spotted the two kissing on the porch and stormed off angrily.
00:46:54I knew these beggars were going to be a nuisance.
00:46:58Everyone in school was shocked to see Brianna and Charlie walking into the hallway holding
00:47:03hands and all anyone could talk about at recess was the brand new couple and Madison and Elijah
00:47:08were pissed.
00:47:09I always knew Brianna wasn't really one of us and she's proved how low class she is.
00:47:15To think that she had a chance with someone like me and she chose that gutter rat.
00:47:19But later in the hallway, Amber caught up with Charlie and Brianna and gave them a hug.
00:47:25You guys are so cute together and I'm so happy for you.
00:47:28Really?
00:47:28I'm pretty sure I heard you call us trash and garbage.
00:47:32That's just an act from Maddie.
00:47:34You know how she gets?
00:47:35But I always knew you'd end up together.
00:47:36I have an eighth sense about these things.
00:47:38Like an octopus.
00:47:39Just then, Elijah and Maddie walked into the hallway and Amber jumped back.
00:47:43Ew, it hurts my face to look at you two.
00:47:46When I become president one day, I will ban scholarships for poor people and rich schools.
00:47:50She winked at them as she walked off and Charlie and Brianna couldn't help laughing.
00:47:55A few days later, Brianna and Charlie were hanging out in their favorite park and Charlie
00:47:59could see Brianna seemed distracted.
00:48:01Brianna, don't freak out, but there's a giant tarantula next to your head.
00:48:04Yeah, sounds cool.
00:48:06Wait, what did you say?
00:48:07I was kidding.
00:48:08Where are you lost today?
00:48:10It's nothing.
00:48:11Well, it's not nothing.
00:48:13Here, read this critics review on the latest Stargirl episodes.
00:48:16It's awful.
00:48:17You can't be taking this seriously.
00:48:19You don't sound like you have a half a brain and your acting isn't underwhelming.
00:48:22Come on, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
00:48:24Yes, he does.
00:48:25And I know the show isn't the best, but I had to start somewhere, right?
00:48:29Of course.
00:48:30And people love it.
00:48:31Except that the show's ratings are tanking and the next season might be canceled.
00:48:35Maybe Mom was right all along, and I'm just kidding myself with this acting business.
00:48:39No, you're brave to pursue your dream, and you're lucky you get to do that without worrying about money.
00:48:43Don't give up on it.
00:48:44Well, there is something I've been thinking about to boost ratings.
00:48:48Don't judge me, okay?
00:48:49I have this doctor who I could pay to make fake medical records and say I have a serious disease.
00:48:55People would feel a lot of sympathy for a young, suffering actress, and it would jump up the view.
00:48:59It's a reality show, so you'd act like you're sick?
00:49:02Yeah, just to spice things up. All reality shows do stuff like that.
00:49:06How much would this cost?
00:49:07Um, like $200,000?
00:49:10Wow, okay, so you'd really just spend so much money on that?
00:49:12You're judging me, aren't you?
00:49:14I didn't say anything.
00:49:14He lay back down and fell quiet, and Brianna looked over at him.
00:49:18If you had $200,000 right now, what would you do with it?
00:49:21You know when I was away some weeks ago?
00:49:23I went back to my hometown to meet an old friend.
00:49:25Well, we've been working on an app together.
00:49:27I think we have a really good idea, so yeah, I'd invest in that.
00:49:30Then that's what I'll be doing with my $200,000.
00:49:33What? No, I wasn't asking for money, Brianna. I don't want charity.
00:49:36It's a loan. You said the app is promising. I'm sure you'll be able to pay me back.
00:49:39Do you really mean that?
00:49:41Please, you're saving me from spending it on something stupid.
00:49:45I really mean it.
00:49:46Charlie stared at her, then let out an excited whoop and hugged her as she laughed.
00:49:50A few days later, Charlie walked into the boys' locker room to find the coach and Elijah sitting on a bench looking pale.
00:49:56Coach, you called me?
00:49:57Charlie, I know this is a lot to ask, but we have the season's biggest game next week, and Elijah still can't play.
00:50:05He's earned himself in practice, and we need a captain. It'd be a huge favor to the team. Otherwise, we're out.
00:50:12Elijah was seething with rage, but Charlie just couldn't turn down the coach.
00:50:16Of course, sir. I'll see you at practice.
00:50:18On the day of the match, Charlie played his heart out as team captain,
00:50:21and when he scored the winning goal against the school's biggest rivals, the whole crowd erupted into cheers.
00:50:27He ran over to Brianna in the stands and kissed her in front of everybody.
00:50:30Then his teammates carried him away on their shoulders while he waved the trophy happily.
00:50:35After celebrating with the team, Charlie headed out of school.
00:50:38He was just a couple of blocks away when someone pushed him into an alley.
00:50:42He looked up to see a couple of thugs, and behind them was Elijah.
00:50:45What are you doing?
00:50:46No, Charlie, what are you doing?
00:50:48You've really picked the wrong guy to mess with, haven't you?
00:50:51I'm not messing with you, man.
00:50:52I helped your team because you couldn't play.
00:50:54Now you want to beat me up for that?
00:50:56I couldn't play because your girlfriend caused my injury, and you're to blame.
00:51:00She rejected me and insulted me because of you.
00:51:03She rejected you before she even met me, because you're a jerk.
00:51:07You little weasel.
00:51:08You might be flying high right now, but I've been trying to warn you, you don't belong here.
00:51:12And what makes you think Brianna is so different suddenly?
00:51:15How can you be sure she isn't making a fool of you again?
00:51:18I'm sure.
00:51:19Now back off.
00:51:20I'm the school's hero right now.
00:51:22I don't think you want to mess with me.
00:51:24Elijah looked ready to punch him, but some kids passed by the alley just then, and he
00:51:28stepped away.
00:51:28This isn't over.
00:51:30Two days later, the school was holding its annual spring dance, and Brianna walked into
00:51:34the gym looking for Charlie, who had said he'd meet her there.
00:51:36She saw Maddie, Amber, and Elijah glaring at her from a corner, then turned away to spot
00:51:41Charlie talking to someone.
00:51:42Hey, there you are.
00:51:44You look good.
00:51:46She leaned in to kiss him, but he gently pushed her away.
00:51:50We need to talk.
00:51:51I can't delay it any longer.
00:51:53Okay.
00:51:54You sound serious.
00:51:55What is it?
00:51:56Brianna, I'm breaking up with you.
00:51:58What?
00:51:59Ha ha.
00:51:59Very funny.
00:52:00Do I look like I'm joking?
00:52:02Charlie, come on.
00:52:03What are you doing?
00:52:04I said I'm breaking up with you.
00:52:06I don't understand.
00:52:08Can we please?
00:52:09Are you really as dumb as everyone says?
00:52:11I thought you were the smartest of the Barbie angels.
00:52:13Did you really think I was in love with you?
00:52:16No, Brianna.
00:52:17I was just playing your game.
00:52:18When you told me how you were desperately in love with me, I saw it as the perfect chance
00:52:22to take revenge.
00:52:23I decided to make you believe I loved you, too, and then dump you publicly, just like
00:52:27you girls did.
00:52:29Brianna stared at him speechlessly as everyone stared at them.
00:52:33Then Charlie walked closer and leaned in.
00:52:35How does that feel, being fooled and humiliated?
00:52:40I thought you should experience it.
00:52:42Oh, also one more thing.
00:52:44I won't be returning the $200,000 I borrowed from you.
00:52:47I've spent it already, treating myself to some nice things.
00:52:50I figured it's fair compensation for everything you've put me through.
00:52:53With that, Charlie left while Brianna stood frozen in her spot.
00:52:57Suddenly, she found Amber by her side.
00:53:00Come on, let's get out of here.
00:53:01As they walked out into the hallway, they heard Madison cackling loudly behind them.
00:53:08Wow, that was epic.
00:53:11I've never respected Charlie more in my life.
00:53:14He really played a number on you, BriBri.
00:53:17And Amber, get away from her.
00:53:18She's not your friend anymore.
00:53:21Brianna didn't respond and continued walking away.
00:53:24We really broke him, didn't we, Brianna?
00:53:27Turned a perfectly nice guy into a heartless jerk.
00:53:30Now that's a high school project I'll always remember.
00:53:35Suddenly, Brianna turned around and lunged at her.
00:53:39Madison screamed as she tried to fight Brianna off.
00:53:42A few kids, including Amber, finally managed to pull them apart.
00:53:46God knows I've been wanting to hit you since the day I met you.
00:53:49And that's a memory I will cherish for years.
00:53:52Brianna turned away and ran out, breaking out into sobs.
00:53:55Brianna refused to go to school and just stayed in bed for days, feeling completely miserable.
00:54:01One morning, a maid brought her a letter.
00:54:03It was from Charlie.
00:54:04She anxiously ripped it open and the check she'd given him for $200,000 fell out.
00:54:09He didn't even use it.
00:54:11He was just teasing me.
00:54:12I really don't get this jerk.
00:54:14He's completely messed me up.
00:54:15She buried her head in her arms and started to cry.
00:54:18But then she stopped and picked up the check.
00:54:20I don't care what Charlie thinks of me.
00:54:22I'm gonna use this to save my show.
00:54:24She jumped out of bed, stuffed the check in her bag, and put on her coat.
00:54:28A few days later, Charlie and Grandma were watching the local news on TV,
00:54:31when suddenly, Brianna's face appeared on the screen with the headline saying,
00:54:35Young TV star diagnosed with Crohn's disease.
00:54:38Charlie stared in shock, then his face darkened.
00:54:41Poor girl.
00:54:42That's terrible news.
00:54:44Charlie, I don't know what happened between you two, but I think we should go see her.
00:54:48She's lying.
00:54:49What do you mean?
00:54:51She's not sick, Grandma.
00:54:52This is all an act to get ratings and views for her show.
00:54:54What?
00:54:55No, she wouldn't do that.
00:54:57Why do you have to assume the worst about people lately?
00:55:00Because they are the worst.
00:55:02She told me of her plan to do this herself.
00:55:04Well, she must have some reason.
00:55:07Brianna isn't like that.
00:55:09Yes, she is.
00:55:10Why do you need to see the good in everyone, Grandma?
00:55:12Least of all these people.
00:55:13They're awful and shallow, and they think people like us are more worthless than the gum stuck to their shoes.
00:55:18I made a huge mistake convincing you to attend this school.
00:55:23I thought nothing could ever change you, but I was wrong.
00:55:26I hardly recognize you these days, Charlie.
00:55:29Grandma walked out before Charlie could say another word.
00:55:32A few days later, Brianna was told someone had come to see her downstairs.
00:55:36She made sure she looked pale and walked weakly into the lounge to find Elijah sitting next to her mom.
00:55:42What are you doing here?
00:55:43Mom, I told you, I feel too sick to have visitors.
00:55:46Brianna, please sit down.
00:55:47This is important.
00:55:48Brianna, we both know you haven't been very nice to me, but I've always cared about you.
00:55:53It just crushed me the way that poor scumbag humiliated you.
00:55:57What do you want, Elijah?
00:55:58Oh, I don't want anything, but I brought you something that will really teach Charlie the lesson he deserves.
00:56:04That day at the spring dance, one of the kids standing close to you made a video.
00:56:08Elijah handed her his phone, and Brianna stared at it in shock to see Charlie caught on camera saying,
00:56:14How does that feel?
00:56:15Being fooled and humiliated.
00:56:17I thought you should experience it.
00:56:18Oh, also one more thing.
00:56:19I won't be returning the $200,000 I borrowed from you.
00:56:22I've spent it already, treating myself to some nice things.
00:56:24I figured it's fair compensation for everything you've put me through.
00:56:27Brianna, when were you going to tell me about this?
00:56:30If Elijah hadn't shown me this video, I would never have checked your account and known that $200,000 have been withdrawn.
00:56:37How dare he threaten to not return your money?
00:56:40Oh God, how could I tell Mom that Charlie returned the money?
00:56:42If she asked me where I spent it, I can't tell her I used it to bribe the doctor.
00:56:46Brianna, answer me.
00:56:47Has he been making any other threats?
00:56:49No, Mom, he hasn't.
00:56:51Please, I'm just too sick to deal with all this.
00:56:53He'll give it back.
00:56:54Oh, you bet he will.
00:56:55When I sue him, I'll have my lawyer send him a notice today.
00:56:58No, I don't want to do that.
00:57:00Honey, I'm not asking you to be a part of this.
00:57:03You just need to rest.
00:57:04I'll take care of everything.
00:57:06There is no way I'm going to let some good-for-nothing beggar rob us blind.
00:57:10He's treated you very poorly, Brianna.
00:57:12Don't worry, we'll make him pay.
00:57:14Brianna got up and left the room, feeling panicked.
00:57:17When Mom accuses Charlie, he'll rat me out.
00:57:19What if the news gets out and everyone discovers that I faked my illness?
00:57:22My reputation will be ruined for good.
00:57:25Oh, God, what have I done?
00:57:26The next night, Charlie found a courier at his door, handing him over a legal notice to appear in court the next morning.
00:57:32It was served by Brianna's mother, accusing him of stealing $200,000.
00:57:37He crumpled the paper and threw it aside, holding his head in his hands.
00:57:40Moments later, he got up and looked at himself in the mirror.
00:57:43I gave her back the money, and she used that to bribe the doctor.
00:57:47But of course, she didn't tell her mom, and now she's too scared to tell the truth.
00:57:50So her mom thinks I still have the money, and I'm some thief.
00:57:53If I said the truth, Brianna's reputation would be ruined.
00:57:55Ugh, I won't stand a chance against people like them in court.
00:57:59Why should I suffer anymore because of Brianna?
00:58:01I shouldn't even go.
00:58:03But I will, because I'm in love with her.
00:58:06The next morning in court, Brianna nervously stole glances at Charlie as she sat next to her mom and Elijah.
00:58:12Charlie just sat there, blankly, not turning to her once.
00:58:16Would the plaintiff's lawyer please read out the charges made against the defendant?
00:58:19The defendant, Mr. Charlie, is accused of the theft of $200,000 from Miss Brianna.
00:58:26We have submitted video evidence where he admits himself that he has no intention to return money given to him as a loan.
00:58:33The defendant is also accused of bullying and harassing Miss Brianna, causing severe emotional and psychological damage.
00:58:40We have submitted documents of Miss Brianna's recent illness triggered by extreme distress.
00:58:47Objection, Your Honor. Is there any medical evidence to prove that?
00:58:51Your Honor, I know it's not my place to speak, but as a mother, I simply cannot stay silent.
00:58:57My only child has fallen extremely sick after being harassed by him.
00:59:02Her school, her work, her health, everything has been affected by his actions.
00:59:07Her doctors will vouch for it.
00:59:09And people like Charlie are predators, who prey on the feelings of rich young women to get money out of them.
00:59:15He must be made to pay for it.
00:59:17Brianna's mom burst into tears as she took her place, while Brianna stared at her in shock.
00:59:22She's a better actress than I am.
00:59:23Would the defendant like to say something in response to that?
00:59:26Charlie rose from his seat, slowly.
00:59:29No, Your Honor.
00:59:30Did you intend to return the $200,000?
00:59:33No, Your Honor.
00:59:34And do you believe your actions have caused Miss Brianna psychological and emotional damage?
00:59:39Yes, Your Honor.
00:59:40Young man, do you understand that the charges against you are very serious?
00:59:45If you are unable to return the loaned money as well as damages, you could land for two years in prison.
00:59:51Charlie looked up and hung his head.
00:59:53I understand, Your Honor.
00:59:54Very well.
00:59:54Since you have pleaded guilty on all counts, the court gives you a day to arrange $500,000 or face prison.
01:00:02No, no.
01:00:04This is enough.
01:00:05Brianna, what are you doing?
01:00:07What I should have done before.
01:00:08Your Honor, I want to immediately withdraw this case.
01:00:11There is no case against Charlie.
01:00:13He returned the money, and I spent it on bribing a doctor to say that I'm sick.
01:00:17I did it to increase ratings and views for my stupid show.
01:00:20Everyone stared at Brianna in shock.
01:00:22Why would you?
01:00:23How could you lie to me like this?
01:00:25Because you've made me feel like I'm a failure as an actress, and I just wanted to fix things on my own.
01:00:30I was feeling down, and I wasn't thinking clearly.
01:00:33It was desperate and stupid, and I would have never told you, but this has gone too far.
01:00:37Young lady, you will be fined for wasting the court's time.
01:00:41I understand, Your Honor, and I will pay it, and I am so sorry.
01:00:45Case dismissed.
01:00:46The judge walked out of the courtroom, and Brianna held up a hand to her mom.
01:00:50We'll talk, but not now.
01:00:51Please, just leave me alone, Mom.
01:00:53Just go.
01:00:54Brianna's mom and Elijah stormed off, and soon, it was just Charlie and Brianna in the room.
01:00:59And suddenly, Brianna pushed him really hard.
01:01:01Oh my God, what is your problem?
01:01:04You!
01:01:04I swear, Charlie, I don't understand you one bit.
01:01:07Yeah, I wouldn't expect someone like you to...
01:01:09If you hate me so much, why were you about to go to freaking jail for me instead of telling the truth?
01:01:14You answered your question yourself, but I'll give you a few minutes to figure it out.
01:01:17I know you're slow.
01:01:18What are you saying?
01:01:19You don't hate me?
01:01:21Charlie just looked at her, and she started to cry.
01:01:23If you don't hate me, Charlie, then why did you break my heart?
01:01:27Because I became a monster, Brianna.
01:01:29I just couldn't get over how you girls used me for entertainment.
01:01:31I was just so consumed by anger and revenge.
01:01:34But after I broke up with you, I realized that hurting someone you love is the worst feeling in the world.
01:01:40I just couldn't expose your secrets and make you look bad, and I'm really sorry for how I've treated you.
01:01:44So am I.
01:01:45I hate the things we've done to each other.
01:01:47Listen, do you think there's any chance that we could start over?
01:01:50No drama, no games, no lies.
01:01:52Because I really love you, Brianna.
01:01:54I know you're way out of my league.
01:01:55I always knew that, and you could find someone else ten times richer and handsomer like you deserve to be with some movie star.
01:02:01But I swear I'll try to be cooler, and I won't ever hurt you again, and if you let me out-
01:02:05How do I get you to stop talking?
01:02:06I'll even work on that.
01:02:07It's a nervous tick.
01:02:08I'll go to a therapist and-
01:02:09I have a better idea.
01:02:11And with that, Brianna leaned in and kissed him.
01:02:25I have a better idea.
