00:00No big deal, Kelsey. You just might be carrying Ben Lawson's baby.
00:18Yeah, I'm out of here. Kelsey, come on! We haven't been to a real party before.
00:23I think these guys are gross.
00:25So? Yeah, here to meet the love of your life.
00:28Just the love of your night.
00:30Yeah, night.
00:40Oh my god. Ben Lawson.
00:43Claremore College's resident party boy. Fuck boy. Whatever you want to call him.
00:47Good for a good time, not a long time.
00:50Makes up for it by being extremely hot.
00:53Way to go, loser.
00:59Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
01:02I think I wasn't wearing a shirt, right?
01:05Aww. Ben! You're soaked.
01:09And that's Skye. Ben's on again, mostly off again X.
01:13Let me help.
01:15Goodbye.
01:17I'm gonna go dry off. It's fine.
01:23I didn't know we were having a wet t-shirt contest.
01:26Not that you'd win anyway.
01:28Actually, it's not a contest.
01:33Come with me and let's get your dry clothes.
01:37Who was that girl?
01:38She's in my classes. Major weirdo.
01:42Well, Ben seems pretty into her.
01:46Weird.
01:47She's definitely gonna be a bit big on you.
01:49Kelsey.
01:58Have we met before, Kelsey?
02:00Probably not.
02:01I mean, I've never actually been to a frat party before.
02:10Okay.
02:11You can turn around.
02:16Well, um, I'm so glad we met.
02:19Because I happen to be an expert at frat party.
02:23I'm so glad I'm so glad.
02:24You've got to make it happen.
02:25I'm so glad you're here.
02:26I'm so glad I was going to be here.
02:28I'm so glad you got this girl.
02:29I'm so glad.
02:30But I'm so glad you did not come to a bar
02:32when I'm a b-een.
02:33Oh.
02:34Oh!
02:35Oh!
02:36Oh!
02:37Oh!
02:38That one!
02:39Oh!
02:40Oh!
02:42Oh!
02:43Oh!
02:44Oh!
02:45Oh!
02:47Oh!
02:48Oh!
02:49Oh!
02:50Oh!
02:51Sorry, it's kind of like, it's kind of like a mess.
03:12Um, it's cool.
03:16You're in a fashion.
03:17I like it.
03:21But, what is that?
03:25Those are my grandma's rules.
03:29Okay.
03:29And she's actually like the one who got me into Claremore.
03:33And she's kind of, um, strict.
03:38Mm-hmm.
03:39Mm-hmm.
03:40But, um, I've decided to stop caring what she thinks of me, so.
03:45How's that going for you so far?
03:47I don't know.
03:47I kind of like breaking the rules.
03:50Me too.
03:51No, wait.
04:05I've never done a one-night stand before.
04:07Is this a one-night stand?
04:09I mean, you are, like, the king of hookups.
04:13I have been told I happen to be very, very good at hookups.
04:18That really happened.
04:23That really happened.
04:32Oh, man, it's over.
04:51He's gone.
04:52And I'll probably never see him.
04:53Well, so much for that.
05:16Now the hard part.
05:21How do I tell Ben Lawson that he is having a baby?
05:25Can't you just text him?
05:28Yeah, I don't really think he wants me to text him.
05:31Or talk to him, for that matter.
05:34Ever again.
05:34Oh, sir Ben.
05:54Back from another noble conquest, I presume.
05:57Bro, don't call it that.
05:58And why not, good sir?
06:00Did thou not ravish thine lady?
06:03No.
06:04I mean, yeah, but I don't know, man.
06:06I kind of felt like more than that this time.
06:08Dude, you can't be serious.
06:10All right, rule one, never leave a fellow sigma behind.
06:20Rule two, say yes to trouble.
06:23And rule three, don't catch feelings.
06:28Yeah.
06:33Dude.
06:35Dude, it's for your own good.
06:37Dude, what are you doing?
06:38Hunter, bro.
06:46Match after match.
06:48What are you doing?
06:49Knock it off.
06:50Give it back.
06:51I told you, bro.
06:52Plenty of fish in the sea.
06:56I'm sure there's an explanation for it.
06:58Ben was totally smitten with you.
07:06Okay, don't freak out.
07:08But I just matched with Ben.
07:13But I just matched with Ben.
07:17Wow.
07:19You know what?
07:19I knew he was a player, but this is like next level.
07:22It hasn't even been an hour since he left.
07:27Mary.
07:30Right.
07:30Sorry.
07:32I'm matching with him right now.
07:34Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:35Okay.
07:35Okay.
07:35Okay.
07:35Okay.
07:35Okay.
07:36Okay.
07:36Okay.
07:36Okay.
07:36Okay.
07:37Okay.
07:38Okay.
07:38Okay.
07:42Oh, my God.
07:43Wait, that asshole just texted me.
07:45Sorry about earlier.
07:46I had fun last night.
07:47Would love to hang out again sometime with a smiley face emoji.
07:53What a player.
07:55Maybe he means it.
07:57Yeah, right.
07:57Do you really think he means it if he's messing around on the apps?
08:00Maybe he matched me by mistake.
08:03Or maybe you're not exclusive.
08:09So you don't think it's gross to sleep with someone, leave, match with their best friend on some app, and then pretend that he wants to hang out with her again?
08:22Yes.
08:25No?
08:27Wait, can you repeat the question?
08:30This is super confusing.
08:36No, you're right. You should stick to what you're good at. Hooking up. That's all it ever was and that's all it ever will be. Have a nice life.
09:00What does that mean? Why won't it send?
09:14I think it means your baby daddy blocked you.
09:19I think it means your baby daddy blocked you.
09:22What the hell?
09:24What do I do now?
09:26Gotta do it the old-fashioned way.
09:28Stalk him until you can confront him IRL.
09:32IRL.
09:33IRL.
09:34IRL.
09:36IRL.
09:38IRL.
09:39IRL.
09:40IRL.
09:41IRL.
09:42IRL.
09:43IRL.
09:44IRL.
09:45IRL.
09:46IRL.
09:47IRL.
09:48IRL.
09:49IRL.
09:50IRL.
09:51IRL.
09:52IRL.
09:53IRL.
09:54IRL.
09:55IRL.
09:56IRL.
09:57It's coming to me, that's it.
10:10Ben, I, uh...
10:12I'm gonna catch you all easy.
10:18Why can't I stop puking?
10:23Because you're super pregnant, girl.
10:28I can't take those anymore.
10:38Ben Lawson!
10:40Why do you keep avoiding me?
10:50No, it's not avoiding someone if they text you to have a nice light.
10:53Okay, well, I'm sorry about that, but...
10:54I thought it was just a one-night stand.
10:56You were?
10:57Yeah, that's what people do after a one-night stand.
10:59They don't talk to each other anymore.
11:02Ben!
11:03Shh!
11:03No.
11:04Political and economic shifts.
11:23From ancient civilization to modern...
11:27M.C. Ben Benny Boy Lawson.
11:33Hunter definitely made this.
11:35Who?
11:36The guy that I met the night you and Ben...
11:39You know.
11:41We've actually been hanging out more, and I think...
11:44Look, you're missing the point, okay?
11:46I mean, this is finally my chance to confront Ben.
11:48So you're gonna go?
11:50I mean...
11:51If I can find something to wear.
11:53I mean, my clothes haven't really been fitting recently, like, you don't.
11:59Sorry to interrupt, ladies, but...
12:01I just wanted to let you know that tonight's party is actually a toga party.
12:06That doesn't say it on there?
12:09Hunter didn't know how to spell toga, so he just left it off.
12:13Maybe I should stop hooking up with him.
12:16He really is dumb.
12:17So you're not going?
12:17Thanks, Scott.
12:24That was actually really nice of you for once.
12:27Don't mention it.
12:41This isn't a toga party, is it?
12:43What's a toga?
12:43I think I'm gonna be sick.
12:53Benny, where have you been?
13:00Everyone at the party wants you.
13:03Especially me.
13:04Scott, I already told you.
13:06I don't think we should be together.
13:08What about just for tonight?
13:10I'm tired of your mind games.
13:13You're always planning something.
13:14Right now, I'm just planning on kissing you.
13:33Now I'm probably gonna be sick.
13:36Kelsey!
13:37Kelsey!
13:49Kelsey!
13:50Wait!
13:52Wow!
13:53Ditching me for that loser?
13:55It's like you have feelings for him.
13:57You know what, Skye?
13:58Maybe I do.
14:04So?
14:05Did you tell him?
14:05You know, in hindsight, telling someone you're pregnant at a fraternity party?
14:10Not such a great idea.
14:13You can't keep putting this off, Kelsey.
14:16You know, maybe I shouldn't even tell him at all.
14:19I mean, it's not like Ben Lawson is gonna want to settle down and play house.
14:25No.
14:26You know, if it's up to me, Ben is never gonna know about this.
14:31Baby?
14:31Oh, this is too good.
14:38I can't believe you talked me into this.
14:41I mean, if I need a drink.
14:42Okay, it's only a matter of time until you start, you know, showing.
14:46This could be our last hurrah!
14:49Yeah, more like your last hurrah.
14:51But, whatever.
14:52Ooh, I'm gonna go check out this night.
15:00Kelsey!
15:01Where's your drink?
15:02You can't be caught empty-handed on senior night.
15:06Hmm.
15:06No.
15:07I'm okay, Skye.
15:08No!
15:09Here!
15:10I insist.
15:12No, I'm really not in the mood.
15:13Come on.
15:15It's just one beer.
15:16Can't hurt, right?
15:18No, Skye.
15:19Okay.
15:19Okay.
15:19Okay.
15:19Okay.
15:19Okay.
15:19Okay.
15:19Okay.
15:19Okay.
15:19Okay.
15:19Okay.
15:19Okay.
15:20Okay.
15:20Okay.
15:21Okay.
15:21Okay.
15:22What's going on?
15:28Yeah, Kelsey, why don't you tell Ben what's going on?
15:32Knock it off, Skye.
15:33She doesn't have to drink if she doesn't want to.
15:35Yeah, you're right.
15:37That would probably be bad for the baby.
15:42Baby?
15:44What baby?
15:49Kelsey, what baby?
15:51Come on.
15:51Okay.
15:52I don't know.
15:54Awkward.
15:55Yeah, for you.
15:57Why would you do that to her?
15:58You really are a heartless bitch.
16:01But-
16:01I don't want to see you around Kelsey.
16:04Or me.
16:05Ever.
16:06Yeah.
16:06Looks like your day is parting at Sigma House are over.
16:10I just want to be alone right now, okay?
16:22Please!
16:31It's the baby mine.
16:33Kelsey, it's the baby mine.
16:34Kelsey!
16:35Would it matter if it was?
16:37Of course it would matter if it was mine.
16:43Because you're...
16:45What?
16:47You!
16:48You're Ben Lawson!
16:50You're like the king of hookups, the prince of partying, the sultan of sex!
16:53The sultan of sex?
16:55Yeah, I'm just...
16:57I'm me.
16:58I don't do one-night stands.
17:01I do.
17:01With you, and only you, so...
17:05Yeah, the baby's yours, Ben.
17:07Look, I don't sleep around, okay?
17:10And when I do, the one time that I do, I don't pretend that it doesn't mean anything.
17:16Hold on.
17:17I never said that.
17:19You said that.
17:20You literally matched with my best friend on some dating app as soon as you left here,
17:24and you were still messing around with Skye.
17:26Not on any apps.
17:27And about Skye...
17:28Look, Ben, it doesn't even matter.
17:29You can do whatever it is that you want to do, okay?
17:32But I'm keeping this baby whether you like it or not.
17:36I mean, my mom was a single mom, and I turned out fine.
17:40I mean, I'm 21 and pregnant, like super broke, but I'm fine!
17:44I want to be a part of this baby's life.
17:46Look, I know you do what you do.
17:50Yes.
17:51More than anything.
17:53My mom was alone.
17:54My dad was never around.
17:56I promised myself that if I ever had kids, I'd do anything for them.
18:01Well...
18:01What about Sigma and all of your friends and Skye?
18:06I don't care about that anymore.
18:09You know, someone wise recently inspired me to stop thinking about what everyone thinks
18:14and just live my life for myself.
18:18I know what it's like to go through life alone.
18:23All in goes.
18:25You let me.
18:26Grandma?
18:39I know your little secret.
18:44I know your little secret.
18:48You broke one of my rules, Elsie Barrington.
18:52I don't know what you're talking about.
18:54I think you do.
18:56I want you in my office first thing tomorrow morning.
19:02Wow, she just hung up on me.
19:04What was that?
19:06That was my grandma.
19:09The one who made the rules.
19:11The whole reason the rules exist is because...
19:15My mom got pregnant with me in college.
19:19And she had to drop out and raise me all by herself.
19:23Alone.
19:24And my grandma didn't want that to happen to me, so...
19:27Now it has.
19:32But...
19:32You're not alone.
19:34And we're here.
19:36We're not here for me.
19:37We're not together.
19:41Remember how you said how hard it is to go through life alone?
19:43You're not alone.
19:45Yeah.
19:46Ben Lawson.
19:50I want you to be my boyfriend.
19:54Well, like, my fake boyfriend.
19:58What?
19:58Okay, look, my grandma might know about the baby, but she doesn't know about you or us.
20:05And if she thinks that we are in a responsible and committed relationship, she just might let me stay in school.
20:11Graduate or, you know.
20:14Like, live.
20:14Okay, but a fake relationship?
20:18Okay, well, I wouldn't expect you to actually date me.
20:21You can still go off and sleep around.
20:25Do whatever you want to do, okay?
20:27But, I mean, if Skye thought we were dating, then she might leave you alone.
20:33I mean, if that's what you want.
20:35Okay.
20:37Hear me out.
20:40Or we could, I don't know, actually date.
20:45You know, like, make this work for the baby.
20:50I don't want to be your pity girlfriend, Ben.
20:53Look, I don't want to be Skye or another one of your fangirls.
21:00I just want to survive some new year.
21:05So, what do you say?
21:13Okay, let's do this.
21:18But, shouldn't we get to know each other a little bit better?
21:20Just so people don't get suspicious.
21:23I like your thinking, Wilson.
21:29Welcome to Ben and Kelsey 101.
21:38Alright.
21:40Time to hit the books.
21:41Okay, what is my dog's name?
21:53Sir Fluffington.
21:55No, wait.
21:56Wrong.
21:57Sir Douglas McFluffington.
21:59Okay.
22:00Okay.
22:01What's the name of my cat?
22:03Easy.
22:04Hannah.
22:04And what kind of crazy person has a human name without a pet name?
22:10Okay, because Sir Douglas Fluffington the third is so much better.
22:16Okay.
22:18What do I want to be when I grow up?
22:20Another easy one.
22:21You want to be a fashion designer.
22:22I hate to break it to you, but you are grown up.
22:26I'm going to be a kid soon.
22:28Shh.
22:29What do you want to be when you grow up?
22:33I'm also having a kid soon.
22:35It's kind of funny how that works.
22:36No, like, what do you want to be when you grow up?
22:40I don't know, actually.
22:44Wait, so you're a senior in college and you haven't thought about the future?
22:52Honestly, I didn't think I was going to make it this far.
22:56I was never really good at school and...
23:00Wait.
23:03A dad.
23:04I've always wanted to be a dad.
23:07Looks like my dreams are coming true.
