00:00:00Is that my seat?
00:00:08What is this?
00:00:23Morgan, we share a class, it's fate.
00:00:25I can't wait to take you on a date.
00:00:27Your secret admirer?
00:00:31P.S. I'm not some random weirdo I told Liam who I am.
00:00:37I'm not gonna tell you that'd ruin all the fun.
00:00:40But, speaking of fun,
00:00:43happy birthday.
00:00:45Oh, pencil case.
00:00:48How pragmatic.
00:00:50Thanks.
00:01:00I forgot yours.
00:01:01Mmm.
00:01:02What is new?
00:01:03Can you share mine?
00:01:10So you're seriously not gonna tell me who my secret admirer is?
00:01:13I'll give you a hint.
00:01:15It is one of the three boys that you are always talking about.
00:01:23We share a class.
00:01:26We share a class with all three, that doesn't narrow it down.
00:01:28Well, then I guess you're actually gonna have to talk to them.
00:01:34I can't do that.
00:01:36Why not?
00:01:37Because I'm too shy.
00:01:39You are never shy around me.
00:01:41It's different.
00:01:42I'm only shy around guys with romantic potential.
00:01:44Okay?
00:01:54Jesus!
00:01:55Whoa!
00:01:56We've known each other since we were six years old.
00:01:58How are you this startled by my appearance?
00:01:59I wasn't.
00:02:00I'm not.
00:02:01Morgan, I am worried about you and the shy talk.
00:02:06How are you gonna find a boyfriend if you can't even talk to a guy you like?
00:02:10Maybe I don't want one.
00:02:11Maybe I just enjoy daydreaming about it.
00:02:14Daydreaming about him?
00:02:26What does he always say about him?
00:02:32Oh my god, he's so cute.
00:02:34And he's artistic.
00:02:36And he's just so deep.
00:02:38I, I'd stop.
00:02:40Stop.
00:02:41Well, if you go talk to him.
00:02:44Life is about taking chances, right?
00:02:47Live a little.
00:02:49That's very inspiring.
00:02:52Have you ever considered becoming a life coach?
00:02:54As a matter of fact, I have.
00:02:55Yes.
00:02:57Now.
00:02:59Go.
00:03:00Get up.
00:03:03Antoine?
00:03:05Do you want to get lunch together sometime maybe?
00:03:08Sorry, what?
00:03:10I asked if you wanted to grab lunch.
00:03:13Like, later.
00:03:14Today.
00:03:15I have to practice in my band over lunch period.
00:03:20The dreadnoughts.
00:03:22Oh.
00:03:23Right.
00:03:24No problem.
00:03:27You can come if you want.
00:03:29Really?
00:03:31I'd love to.
00:03:33Cool.
00:03:35See you there at noon.
00:03:36So, Morgan, right?
00:03:37What kind of music do you like?
00:03:51All kinds.
00:03:52But my friend Liam and I have been really into the splinters lately.
00:03:54You listen to that pop trash?
00:03:56Well, it's not like it's my absolute favorite or anything.
00:03:57Um, what about you?
00:03:58What do you listen to?
00:03:59I'm very particular when it comes to my sound, but lately I've been into lowercase.
00:04:01Oh, cool.
00:04:02Never heard of lowercase, but I'll check them out.
00:04:04It's not a band.
00:04:05It's not a band.
00:04:06It's a musical genre.
00:04:07It's all about ambient minimalism taken to the extreme.
00:04:08It's a musical genre.
00:04:09It's all about ambient minimalism taken to the extreme.
00:04:10It's not a band.
00:04:11It's not a band.
00:04:12It's a musical genre.
00:04:13It's all about ambient minimalism taken to the extreme.
00:04:14Oh.
00:04:15Okay, so let's start with Monster Zone.
00:04:19I have a lot of favorite music.
00:04:20It's not a band.
00:04:21It's a musical genre.
00:04:22It's a musical genre.
00:04:23It's all about ambient minimalism taken to the extreme.
00:04:38Oh.
00:04:39Okay, let's start with Monster Zone.
00:04:42I'm gonna start with Monster Zone.
00:04:43One, two, three, four.
00:04:53Stop, stop, stop.
00:04:55Jeff, you're out of tune.
00:04:57And Danny, you're at least three beats behind.
00:04:59All right, okay.
00:05:00Come on, can you please get your crap together?
00:05:02Seriously. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
00:05:04How many times have we practiced this?
00:05:06All right, let's do it again.
00:05:07Again, from the top.
00:05:12OK.
00:05:19Danny, what are you doing?
00:05:22Man, it's...
00:05:24It's like this.
00:05:26One, two, three.
00:05:27One, two, three.
00:05:29All right, all right.
00:05:40Hey.
00:05:42Where are you going?
00:05:43We haven't even gotten to my best riffs yet.
00:05:45I've heard enough.
00:05:47Besides, I've got to get to class.
00:05:51Don't you want to listen to some good music for once?
00:05:55Good music?
00:05:57My taste may be basic, but I'd take the splinters
00:05:59over this noise any day.
00:06:06Again?
00:06:07Again.
00:06:12Oh, where's the rush?
00:06:21Oh, where's the rush?
00:06:25Oh, where's the rush?
00:06:28Sam, I'm sorry.
00:06:44I didn't see you.
00:06:46Can I have my phone back?
00:06:48Oh, sure.
00:06:51I mean, only if...
00:06:55Only if you want to get ice cream.
00:06:57Or something.
00:06:58After school.
00:06:59I mean, of course you can have your phone back.
00:07:02Here.
00:07:03I'd love to get ice cream with you,
00:07:05but why not right now?
00:07:07Oh, um...
00:07:11Because we have class?
00:07:14So?
00:07:16Skip.
00:07:18I've never skipped class before.
00:07:22There's a first time for everything.
00:07:28You know what?
00:07:29Why not?
00:07:30Nothing wrong with a little misbehavior
00:07:32now and then, right?
00:07:33That's my motto too.
00:07:40After you.
00:07:47See?
00:07:48Skipping school can be fun.
00:07:50Almost as fun as those two red lights you ran through.
00:07:53Morgan.
00:07:55With a car like this, you trade comfort for speed.
00:07:58I have a comfort.
00:08:03Comfort?
00:08:05I thought you wanted to...
00:08:07misbehave.
00:08:09I don't know why I said that.
00:08:11Sounds like you want to try something different.
00:08:14Something...
00:08:17dangerous.
00:08:26Come on.
00:08:27I'm bored.
00:08:28Let's go find some tracks to jump.
00:08:30You can't just drop that there.
00:08:32What are you, some humanitarian?
00:08:35Well, I don't litter, if that's what you mean.
00:08:38Hold this.
00:08:50So the hot good girl decides she wants to be bad for a day.
00:08:53I like that.
00:08:55God, my girlfriend would be so pissed if she caught us like this.
00:09:11You have a girlfriend?
00:09:13Someone who wants to misbehave definitely knows that.
00:09:18Misbehave as in skip class.
00:09:20Live a little.
00:09:21Kiss a guy with a girlfriend?
00:09:23Morgan.
00:09:24Morgan.
00:09:25Morgan.
00:09:26So that's a no on the ride back?
00:09:33It's open.
00:09:34How'd it go with Antoine?
00:09:47How that bad, huh?
00:09:49Horrible.
00:09:50Though not as bad as my date with Sam.
00:09:56Wait, did...
00:09:57Did you skip class to go on a date with Sam Hitchens?
00:10:01Who are you and what have you done with my best friend?
00:10:08I wish I had just stuck to daydreaming about these guys.
00:10:13Real dating sucks.
00:10:20What can I do to make you feel better?
00:10:23I need to wipe today from my memory.
00:10:25Let's go to your tree house and listen to the Splinters all night.
00:10:29By the way, the Splinters are pop trash.
00:10:33I've been informed.
00:10:35First of all, screw whoever said that.
00:10:39Second, before you give up on dating just yet,
00:10:44I think there's something you should see.
00:11:03Who are those from?
00:11:04Ah, don't you want your big rom-com moments?
00:11:07Liam, I...
00:11:18So, there were three guys you had crushes on.
00:11:23And you told me you went on a date with two of them today.
00:11:25So, by process of elimination...
00:11:30Wait, you're telling me my secret admirer is Derek?
00:11:34Ding, ding, ding.
00:11:37Derek, captain of the football team?
00:11:39Mm-hmm.
00:11:40Derek, our class president?
00:11:41Mm-hmm.
00:11:42Derek, the guy every girl in school has been head over heels in love with
00:11:45since, like, sixth grade?
00:11:47Every girl might be an exaggeration.
00:11:49Sorry, every girl with eyeballs who's interested in guys.
00:11:54And he did all this for me?
00:11:56So, apparently, he has great taste in women.
00:12:02Derek wants you to meet him at that fancy new French restaurant.
00:12:04He's not in town.
00:12:06That's what this note says.
00:12:12Look, you can either join me in our treehouse tonight,
00:12:17and we can listen to our favorite band like we always do,
00:12:20or you can go on a date with the most popular guy in high school.
00:12:25It's up to you.
00:12:30It's up to you.
00:12:31Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:12:38Maybe third time's the charm.
00:12:44So, any tips on what I should wear tonight, life coach?
00:12:47Sorry, ladies' fashion is the limit of my expertise.
00:12:55Have fun.
00:12:57I'll let you know how it goes.
00:12:58I'm sorry I'm late.
00:13:10Happy birthday, Morgan.
00:13:11I've been looking forward to this for weeks.
00:13:13I've been looking forward to this for weeks.
00:13:17Uh, thank you.
00:13:17For the balloon and the flowers.
00:13:19No one's ever done anything this romantic for me.
00:13:20I thought you'd like it.
00:13:21I'm sorry I'm late.
00:13:22I'm sorry I'm late.
00:13:23I'm sorry I'm late.
00:13:24Happy birthday, Morgan.
00:13:25I'm sorry I'm late.
00:13:26Happy birthday, Morgan.
00:13:27I've been looking forward to this for weeks.
00:13:29I've been looking forward to this for weeks.
00:13:31Thank you for the balloon and the flowers.
00:13:37No one's ever done anything this romantic for me.
00:13:40I thought you'd like it.
00:13:55You look beautiful tonight.
00:14:01Thanks.
00:14:03Well, could you take a picture of us?
00:14:06Yeah, no problem.
00:14:11One, two, three.
00:14:16What was that for?
00:14:17So I can Instagram the first date that I had with the girl that I plan to take to prom.
00:14:22But prom is still months away.
00:14:24How do you know you still want to date me, Den?
00:14:26When you know, you know.
00:14:27But we don't know each other.
00:14:31Not yet, but there's still plenty of time before prom.
00:14:35Oh, right.
00:14:37Oh, wrong table.
00:14:39Sorry, we haven't ordered yet.
00:14:41I actually ordered for us.
00:14:42It's the best things on the menu.
00:14:44I actually ordered for us.
00:14:46It's the best things on the menu.
00:14:58Is something wrong?
00:15:00It's just, I don't eat fish.
00:15:03Oh.
00:15:05I'm sorry.
00:15:06No, it's okay.
00:15:07I can send it back.
00:15:08Can we swap this for a steak?
00:15:10Actually, could we get some menus, please?
00:15:14I'd like to decide for myself.
00:15:16Oh, okay.
00:15:17No problem.
00:15:18No problem.
00:15:18I'll remember that for next time.
00:15:24It just might sound weird, but what do you like about me?
00:15:30Well, besides the fact that you'd look gorgeous on my arm in photos.
00:15:36Um, I mean, you seem really easygoing.
00:15:40You're always so calm and quiet.
00:15:43I'm not quiet.
00:15:46Maybe I'm a little shy at school, but around people who really know me, I can be really
00:15:51loud and opinionated.
00:15:53Look, don't you want to be here?
00:15:54I thought girls love all this attention.
00:15:56You know, the romantic gestures.
00:15:58I thought so too.
00:16:01Now I'm not so sure.
00:16:03I need to leave.
00:16:05Don't!
00:16:07Look, I'm going to look like such a loser if you don't stay.
00:16:11That's no reason to stay.
00:16:14We're wrong for each other, Derek.
00:16:16If you knew me at all, you'd get that.
00:16:25Well, damn.
00:16:41How'd it go?
00:17:07How'd it go?
00:17:09I left early.
00:17:15Why?
00:17:17I thought Derek was everything you ever wanted, Mr. Popular and Romantic.
00:17:24I thought so too.
00:17:28But then I realized, romance isn't about all that stuff you see in the movies.
00:17:37It's about knowing someone.
00:17:40Really knowing them.
00:17:44It's about liking all the same music and laughing at all the same cheesy jokes.
00:17:55It's...
00:17:59It's how I feel about you.
00:18:01Look, I know you don't feel the same or you never would have helped Derek, but...
00:18:07I had to tell you.
00:18:09I had to tell you.
00:18:19Morgan.
00:18:20The reason I helped Derek plan the secret Meyer thing is because I wanted you to be
00:18:25happy.
00:18:26You're always talking about these guys you have crushes on.
00:18:32Creative, badass, talented guys.
00:18:37Guys, guys who aren't nothing like me.
00:18:41Liam, you are the most creative, badass, talented guy that I know.
00:18:47You were right in front of me the whole time.
00:19:07Holes in my shoes and I got dirt on my hands.
00:19:13They all take care of you better than any other man.
00:19:18I'll hold you until we all grow.
00:19:25You're gonna have to get a little less pragmatic with presents though.
00:19:28What do you mean?
00:19:30A pencil case?
00:19:31Really?
00:19:32Did you look inside?
00:19:35Did you...
00:19:36Get us tickets to see the splinters live next month?
00:19:42What?
00:19:43Yeah, I did.
00:19:45Yeah, I did.
00:20:15Hi.
00:20:20Why aren't you in class?
00:20:22Oh, I said I had to go to the bathroom.
00:20:24I'm just checking in on the patient.
00:20:27I'm fine.
00:20:30Just not feeling any better and wishing I was in school.
00:20:34You are the only person I know who'd rather be at school than home binge watching Netflix.
00:20:39I like school.
00:20:41And you know I'm not going to binge watch anything without you because then we can't talk about it.
00:20:45Good point.
00:20:47I like that we watch shows together.
00:20:49Me too.
00:20:50I don't think your dad loves it though.
00:20:53He's just convinced we're making out the whole time.
00:20:56He's not entirely wrong.
00:21:00So, what did I miss in English?
00:21:03Did she give us any new chapters to read before next week's test?
00:21:07No, the reading hasn't changed and I took notes free on everything so...
00:21:12Knowing you, you probably won't need them.
00:21:14Anything good happen at lunch today?
00:21:17Besides Anika and Derek getting back together for the 10th time?
00:21:20They did?
00:21:21When?
00:21:22How?
00:21:23He made a big show of it in the quad.
00:21:25He even got the entire acapella group to come serenade her.
00:21:28I'm missing everything.
00:21:30You've been gone for two days.
00:21:32Yeah, and that's enough time for me to fall behind on my school work and my social life.
00:21:37Well, it'll be here when you get back.
00:21:39I promise.
00:21:40But in the meantime, I'm going to come over after school.
00:21:43I'm going to bring your homework and bring your favorite soup.
00:21:47And then we are going to binge watch every episode of Outer Banks.
00:21:51And I promise I'll actually try to pay attention this time.
00:21:54Or we could just make out and prove your dad right.
00:21:58Hang on a minute.
00:22:19You have no idea how much I would love that, but I can't.
00:22:34I really don't want to get you sick.
00:22:36What if I sit on the opposite side of the room?
00:22:38Let's just keep it on FaceTime for a couple more days, okay?
00:22:42That way I'll feel better sooner and I'll be back in school.
00:22:45I understand.
00:22:49I just wish you were here.
00:22:50Me too.
00:22:54Well, I better get back to Trig.
00:22:56Don't forget to-
00:22:57I'll take very detailed notes.
00:23:00Thanks, Liam.
00:23:03Feel better.
00:23:15Thanks, Liam.
00:23:43Not the call I was expecting today, but I'm not mad about it.
00:23:46What's up, Morgan?
00:23:47You miss me?
00:23:48Don't flatter yourself.
00:23:49I'm just calling to find out what I missed in history today.
00:23:52Uh, I was hoping you could tell me.
00:23:54What are you talking about?
00:23:56I've been out sick.
00:23:57I texted you and asked you to take notes for me.
00:24:00Morgan, if you're not in class, what makes you think I would be?
00:24:05Sam, we have a group project due next week.
00:24:08Yeah, and I'm sure you're doing a great job with that.
00:24:11I am not doing the project by myself.
00:24:14You need to help.
00:24:15You and I both know that me helping would only slow things down.
00:24:19The project would be a lot better if you do the work.
00:24:22That is completely unfair.
00:24:24It's your grade, too.
00:24:25Yeah, and with you, I know my grade is in good hands.
00:24:29What?
00:24:38Sam Hitchens, you better help me with a stupid project or so help me, Beyoncé, it will key
00:24:43that stupid car you love so much.
00:24:45Whoa, don't threaten, Rhonda.
00:24:47I'm completely serious.
00:24:49All right, fine.
00:24:51Meet me at DQ and we can talk about the project or whatever.
00:24:55I can't meet you anywhere.
00:24:57I'm sick.
00:24:58You have to come to my house.
00:25:00And why would I come to your house if you're sick?
00:25:03Because your grade depends on it and I really don't care if I give you a fever.
00:25:08You already do.
00:25:13You better be on your way over here.
00:25:19What?
00:25:22I...
00:25:23Liam, I thought you were...
00:25:24Coming over?
00:25:25I totally can.
00:25:27I just need...
00:25:28Let me just get like a few things for you, okay?
00:25:30No, I don't think that's a good idea.
00:25:33But I thought you just said...
00:25:34I know.
00:25:35I think the flu medicine is making me delirious.
00:25:38Okay.
00:25:39Uh, well, I just got home.
00:25:42So, if you change your mind, just send some smoke signals out the window.
00:25:50Hang on a minute, okay?
00:25:52Okay.
00:25:57Sam, I changed my mind.
00:25:58Don't come over here.
00:25:59You're joking.
00:26:00I just made myself available for this and you're canceling?
00:26:04I just made myself available for this and you're canceling?
00:26:07I know, but today isn't a good day.
00:26:09I'm sick.
00:26:10Yeah.
00:26:10You keep saying that.
00:26:11Right.
00:26:12So, you wouldn't want to come over anyway?
00:26:14Nope.
00:26:15Sorry.
00:26:16Already on the way.
00:26:17Wait, Sam!
00:26:18Sam!
00:26:19Sam?
00:26:20Uh, what about Sam?
00:26:22He, uh...
00:26:25I need to talk to him about homework.
00:26:27Are we talking about the same Sam?
00:26:30Wait, what?
00:26:37Morgan, listen, we have...
00:26:39Oh, what up, Liam?
00:26:41Were you intrigued today?
00:26:43I could really use some notes.
00:26:44Uh, yeah, I was.
00:26:48Um, you need notes from today?
00:26:52Or, like, the whole semester.
00:26:55I'll take whatever, honestly.
00:26:57Sam, this really isn't a good time.
00:27:00Yeah, I thought about it and you're right.
00:27:03I can't be hanging out with a sick person, so it's probably better if I don't come over
00:27:07and you handle the project.
00:27:09You're coming over?
00:27:11Well, I was.
00:27:13Morgan doesn't care that it's completely irresponsible to invite somebody over when you're sick.
00:27:17That is not what happened!
00:27:19Uh, kind of is.
00:27:21Anyways, there's this new hottie working the counter at DQ and she's off in 10, so I gotta
00:27:26go.
00:27:27What?
00:27:28What about our group project?
00:27:29Just let me know where you need me to initial or whatever.
00:27:32That is not how group projects work!
00:27:35Gotta go!
00:27:36Bye!
00:27:37Oh!
00:27:38And Liam.
00:27:39What's up, Sam?
00:27:41Maybe keep taking notes from me and Trey.
00:27:45So you were gonna have him come over?
00:27:51Just to work on our project.
00:27:53You know how important that grade is to me.
00:27:56And you know that taking care of my girlfriend when she's sick is important to me.
00:28:04Why would you let him come over and not me?
00:28:07I thought you hated that guy.
00:28:08I don't hate him.
00:28:10I just don't like him.
00:28:14Three weeks ago you thought you might want to date him and now you're inviting him over
00:28:19to your house.
00:28:21Look, it just feels like you don't want to see me.
00:28:24I do.
00:28:25It's just...
00:28:27Honestly, I don't want you to see me.
00:28:33Not like this.
00:28:35Morgan, we've been through every awkward phase imaginable together.
00:28:42I don't care how you look.
00:28:44I know, but things are different now.
00:28:47I don't care if Sam sees me sick and gross because it's Sam.
00:28:52But with you, I guess I'm just a little more self-conscious.
00:28:58Morgan, I still feel like I'm playing out of my league here.
00:29:03There's literally nothing you could do to ever change the way I feel about you.
00:29:08Okay.
00:29:09I'm sorry I even considered letting Sam come over and not you.
00:29:15I'm just overthinking it.
00:29:20And I really would feel terrible if I got you sick.
00:29:23I know.
00:29:24But it's for me to decide whether it's worth the risk or not.
00:29:29And it definitely is.
00:29:32You know I'm still gonna make you watch Outer Banks, right?
00:29:35Yes.
00:29:36Totally.
00:29:37I'm coming over in the first place.
00:29:38Or we can do homework.
00:29:42I have all your notes from class.
00:29:44That's better than flowers.
00:29:47It is so cute that you think so.
00:29:52Morgan, from where I'm sitting, you look beautiful.
00:30:05Okay, I'm gonna come over now.
00:30:33You are a sight for sore eyes.
00:30:36They can't be that sore.
00:30:37You're staring at the Italian coast every day.
00:30:39That's true.
00:30:41It's beautiful here, but not nearly as beautiful as you.
00:30:46I wanted to look nice for a date.
00:30:49Well, you always look nice.
00:30:53Happy three months.
00:30:55Happy three months.
00:31:00So, how was your morning?
00:31:02Boring.
00:31:03Nobody's in town.
00:31:05While you're off gallivanting in Italy, I think I've read every book the library has to offer.
00:31:11A summer spent reading, that sounds like your dream.
00:31:14Yeah, well, even that is losing its luster.
00:31:17What about you?
00:31:19Are you fluent in Italian yet?
00:31:21Si.
00:31:22Ciao, Bella.
00:31:23Como estas?
00:31:24Emilia, Paolo.
00:31:25Not bad.
00:31:26Oh, I'm working on it.
00:31:28Still got another month to nail it.
00:31:31Another month I don't get to see you.
00:31:34I know.
00:31:35I miss you so much.
00:31:37I didn't think an entire summer apart would be this bad.
00:31:41I know, me neither.
00:31:43I actually wanted to talk to you about that.
00:31:46I kind of wanted to talk to you about that, too.
00:31:49You go first.
00:31:50What did you want to say?
00:31:51Morgan, can you just give me one second?
00:31:57Sure.
00:31:59Um, hi?
00:32:09Oh.
00:32:10Hi.
00:32:11Uh, sorry.
00:32:12I didn't know this was on.
00:32:14Liam just went to the other room for a minute.
00:32:16Liam just went to the other room for a minute.
00:32:20Oh.
00:32:21You're Morgan.
00:32:24That's me.
00:32:25Why didn't you tell me she was on right now?
00:32:30It's okay.
00:32:31She doesn't know anything yet.
00:32:33Well, you better tell her.
00:32:36Hey.
00:32:37Sorry about that.
00:32:41Everything okay?
00:32:44Um, yeah.
00:32:47I think so.
00:32:48You?
00:32:49Yeah.
00:32:50No.
00:32:51There's nothing.
00:32:52Um, I wanted to talk to you about...
00:32:57Liam, I, uh, I'm actually feeling kind of funny.
00:33:01Do you think we could pick this up later?
00:33:05Of course.
00:33:06Um, yeah.
00:33:07Are you alright?
00:33:08I'm fine.
00:33:09I just need to lie down or something.
00:33:13I'll call you back later, okay?
00:33:16I'll call you back later, okay?
00:33:19Okay.
00:33:22It's Amy.
00:33:23I'm not here right now.
00:33:24It's Amy.
00:33:25I'm not here right now.
00:33:26God, is everybody gone for the summer?
00:33:27I'm not here right now.
00:33:28It's Amy.
00:33:29I'm not here right now.
00:33:30God, is everybody gone for the summer?
00:33:31What do you want, Sam?
00:33:32It's Amy.
00:33:33I'm not here right now.
00:33:34God, is everybody gone for the summer?
00:33:36What do you want, Sam?
00:33:37Morgan!
00:33:38What up, girl?
00:33:39How's summer?
00:33:40Painfully boring.
00:33:41That's cool.
00:33:42Listen, I need some help.
00:33:43I need some help.
00:33:44I need some help.
00:33:45The thing is, I'm stuck doing summer school.
00:33:46I'm not here right now.
00:33:47I'm not here right now.
00:33:48It's Amy.
00:33:49It's Amy.
00:33:50I'm not here right now.
00:33:51God, is everybody gone for the summer?
00:33:52What do you want, Sam?
00:33:53Morgan!
00:33:54What up, girl?
00:33:55How's summer?
00:33:56Painfully boring.
00:33:57That's cool.
00:33:58Listen, I need some help.
00:33:59I need some help.
00:34:00The thing is, I'm stuck doing summer school.
00:34:01Turns out, skipping all of my classes wasn't the best idea, and my parents took away my
00:34:18car until I get my grades back up, which is honestly so uncool.
00:34:23Anyways, I was thinking about how you're pretty smart, and we did okay on that group project
00:34:30last year, so what if you help me out and tutor me or something?
00:34:35You're joking, right?
00:34:36You want me to tutor you?
00:34:38Yeah!
00:34:39Why not?
00:34:40You love learning.
00:34:41Wait, those aren't the same thing.
00:34:43Oh, come on.
00:34:44You know what I mean.
00:34:49Fine.
00:34:50I'll help you.
00:34:51That's what I'm talking about.
00:34:52You're the best, Morgan.
00:34:53But, I want something in return.
00:34:55Oh.
00:34:56Well, fine.
00:34:57Name your price.
00:34:58I need a girlfriend.
00:34:59I need a girlfriend.
00:35:00Well, well, well, Morgan.
00:35:01I had no idea.
00:35:02Most of the ladies that I'm acquainted with don't necessarily lean that way, but I think
00:35:09I know a few who might.
00:35:11No, that's not what I meant.
00:35:12I mean, I need a friend.
00:35:13A sounding board.
00:35:14I need you to give me advice.
00:35:15Advice?
00:35:16Yeah.
00:35:17Okay.
00:35:18Hit me.
00:35:19What's the problem?
00:35:20Okay.
00:35:21So, Liam is away for the summer with his family in Italy.
00:35:22Italian babes?
00:35:23Oh, dope.
00:35:24And we were FaceTiming earlier and there was some girl with him.
00:35:25Oh, no.
00:35:26No.
00:35:27No.
00:35:28No.
00:35:29No.
00:35:30No.
00:35:31No.
00:35:32No.
00:35:33No.
00:35:34No.
00:35:35No.
00:35:36No.
00:35:37No.
00:35:38No.
00:35:39No.
00:35:40No.
00:35:43No, no.
00:35:44No.
00:35:45No.
00:35:46No.
00:35:47No.
00:35:48No.
00:35:49No.
00:35:50No.
00:35:51No.
00:35:52So, Liam was away for the summer with his family in Italy.
00:35:55Italian babes?
00:35:56Oh!
00:35:57Dope.
00:35:58And we were FaceTiming earlier and there was some girl with him.
00:35:59I don't know who she was and he didn't say anything about it.
00:36:01But, I mean, they seemed like they knew each other well, like, they were pretty close.
00:36:02And I don't know, I guess I just had this, like, weird feeling about it.
00:36:05Damn.
00:36:06Liam, my man.
00:36:07I honestly didn't even think he had it in him,
00:36:09but you go to a foreign country and all bets are off.
00:36:14So, you think I should be worried?
00:36:18Oh, absolutely.
00:36:21Morgan, a man doesn't go to Europe for the summer
00:36:23and not want to taste the local delicacies,
00:36:26if you know what I mean.
00:36:28Can you blame him?
00:36:31Well, what did you guys discuss before he left?
00:36:34Nothing.
00:36:35Nothing?
00:36:37You never said,
00:36:38Liam, you're going to a foreign country
00:36:40where you're going to be surrounded by beautiful and exotic women.
00:36:44Please don't cheat on me.
00:36:45I didn't think I had to.
00:36:48We're not mind readers, Morgan.
00:36:50Ugh!
00:36:54Morgan, where do you go?
00:36:58So, should I come over to study?
00:37:02Or, even better, can you come to me?
00:37:04It's kind of hard getting around without a car.
00:37:07I'll talk to you later, Sam.
00:37:09I have to handle this.
00:37:10Wait, Morgan, you said you would help me.
00:37:11Hey, you feeling better?
00:37:26Are you cheating on me?
00:37:28Are you cheating on me?
00:37:29What?
00:37:31Listen, I get it.
00:37:33We've been apart all summer, and you're in Italy,
00:37:35which is probably really beautiful and really romantic,
00:37:39and here I am, just bored and lonely.
00:37:41How can I compete with that?
00:37:43But if you met someone else, just tell me,
00:37:46because I've spent my summer missing you,
00:37:48and if you're just off having a blast with some other girl,
00:37:51I have a right to know.
00:37:53Morgan, uh, where is this coming from?
00:37:58I...
00:37:58I don't know.
00:38:00I saw that girl on her computer,
00:38:02and then I was talking to Sam, and...
00:38:04Well, you talked to Sam?
00:38:06I don't really have anyone else to talk to.
00:38:08Everyone's gone for the summer, and it's lonely here.
00:38:14Well, just a thought, but you can always talk to me.
00:38:19Okay.
00:38:21Who was that girl?
00:38:24That was my cousin.
00:38:26She's in Italy with my family for the summer.
00:38:29Oh.
00:38:31Oh.
00:38:33But why was she...
00:38:35What did you want to talk to me about?
00:38:37Uh...
00:38:38I wanted it to be a surprise.
00:38:41But I talked to your parents,
00:38:43and they gave me permission to fly you out here for a week.
00:38:48They gave me permission to fly you out here for a week.
00:38:52Italy's just...
00:38:53It's so beautiful, and...
00:38:55And I...
00:38:56I want to share it with you.
00:38:59It's just not special without you here.
00:39:01Oh, my God.
00:39:02Liam.
00:39:04I'm sorry.
00:39:06I don't know what I was thinking.
00:39:07Well, I know what I'm thinking, which is that you need to stop taking advice from Sam Hitchens.
00:39:14Loneliness must be really getting to me.
00:39:17I just...
00:39:18I really miss you.
00:39:21And Sam got in my head, and...
00:39:23That's okay.
00:39:29But do you want to come to Italy?
00:39:31Well, it's funny you should ask.
00:39:36I begged my parents, and they actually got me a ticket to come see you!
00:39:40That is why it was so easy to get them to say yes.
00:39:43Um, when do you get here?
00:39:46I arrived next week.
00:39:48The world's apart, and we're still on the same page.
00:39:50Let's keep it that way.
00:39:52Deal.
00:39:56Um, Morgan.
00:39:59I, um...
00:40:01I miss you.
00:40:07I miss you, too.
00:40:08I miss you.
00:40:38I miss you.
00:40:51Morgan.
00:40:51Hey, Antoine.
00:40:53Um, how's it going?
00:40:54How's your summer?
00:40:55Well, I went to Burning Man, which was pretty transformative.
00:41:00Is that, like, a seance or something?
00:41:02Burning Man is a movement.
00:41:04for some people it's a lifestyle but i wouldn't expect someone like you to understand that
00:41:09oh i'm sorry that was harsh let's start over hey morgan how are you uh my summer was good

00:49:04And it hasn't even started yet.
00:49:10Stop distracting me.
00:49:12What? I'm not doing anything.
00:49:14Yes, you are. You know you are.
00:49:19See? You're doing it again.
00:49:22What? Looking at you?
00:49:24This is why you can't come over when I'm trying to study.
00:49:26I would never get anything done.
00:49:28Well, I can't help it. You're just too fun to distract.
00:49:32It's fine. I'm done.
00:49:34Let's do something fun this weekend. Something not school related.
00:49:37Well, we could go to the mall.
00:49:40The mall?
00:49:42Yeah. I have to find a homecoming dress.
00:49:44Not that you have to help me find it. I can call Devin or something.
00:49:48Yeah. When's homecoming again?
00:49:52Weekend after next?
00:49:54It's coming up fast, so I gotta find a dress sooner than later.
00:49:58Actually, I was sort of hoping we could just skip it.
00:50:02Skip homecoming?
00:50:04We get to dress up and take pictures and dance.
00:50:08Why wouldn't we go?
00:50:10I know. I just, um, I don't really care about that stuff.
00:50:14You know, we can dress up and dance anytime we want,
00:50:17but school dances are kind of lame.
00:50:19Okay. If you don't want to go to homecoming, what would you want to do instead?
00:50:31Okay. Hear me out.
00:50:34They're doing an Evil Dead marathon at the drive-in that night,
00:50:38screening all four movies, and Sam Raimi is hosting him.
00:50:43The creator of Evil Dead.
00:50:45You want me to skip homecoming to watch a movie?
00:50:48Come on. It's not just any movie. It's The Evil Dead. We love those movies.
00:50:51And how often does a guy like Sam Raimi come into town?
00:50:54I mean, this is big stuff.
00:50:56I hear you, but this is going to be our first big dance together,
00:51:01and I want to share that with you.
00:51:03I never had a boyfriend to go to a dance with before.
00:51:06I know, but there'll be other dances, right?
00:51:10And we always do what you want to do on the weekends.
00:51:13Why can't we just do this one thing for me?
00:51:15What is that supposed to mean? What is that supposed to mean?
00:51:18Nothing. Look, we study when you want to.
00:51:21We hang out with your friends when you want to.
00:51:23This is just something that I want to do.
00:51:25I didn't realize you were so unhappy with all the time we were spending together.
00:51:29I'm not. You're taking this wrong.
00:51:31Then explain it better.
00:51:36Sam was calling me.
00:51:38Can you ignore it?
00:51:39I'd rather talk to him than keep fighting with you.
00:51:42Please don't.
00:51:45Morgan!
00:51:46Thank God you answered!
00:51:48I knew you would.
00:51:49Oh good. You brought backup.
00:51:52Hey Sam.
00:51:53You guys are such good friends.
00:51:57What's going on?
00:51:59It's bad.
00:52:00Can you tell us about it?
00:52:01It's really bad.
00:52:03Can't help if we don't know what happened.
00:52:06It's just really hard to talk about.
00:52:09This kind of thing has never happened before in my whole life.
00:52:13And I don't know what to do with all of these feelings.
00:52:16Just try.
00:52:18This is a safe space.
00:52:20Katie dumped me.
00:52:23She just dropped it on me out of nowhere.
00:52:26Like, goodbye.
00:52:28We're done.
00:52:29Have a nice life.
00:52:31How could you do that to me?
00:52:34We've been together since middle school.
00:52:36Have you?
00:52:38I wasn't even positive you guys were dating.
00:52:40Well, we've taken a lot of breaks or whatever, but the love has been there the whole time.
00:52:47We were going to grow old together.
00:52:50That really sucks.
00:52:52Nobody likes getting dumped, but you know, you're only 17.
00:52:56There are plenty of other fish in the sea.
00:52:58I don't want fish, Morgan.
00:53:00I want Katie.
00:53:02I think what she's trying to say is that it hurts now, but you'll find someone new and it won't feel so bad.
00:53:09You really think so?
00:53:11Yeah, man, I know so.
00:53:13Right now, it feels like my heart has been just torn into two.
00:53:18She was the love of my life.
00:53:22You're literally hitting on a different girl every other day.
00:53:25What did you expect?
00:53:26I have a flirty personality, Morgan.
00:53:29Katie actually understands that.
00:53:32Yeah, but no girl wants to feel like she's competing for your attention.
00:53:35No girl wants to feel like she's competing for your attention.
00:53:38But you also shouldn't have to change who you are in order to make a girl happy.
00:53:42It's not about changing who you are, it's about making her feel special.
00:53:45Girl wants to feel like a priority.
00:53:47Well, not every guy can live up to all that pressure and expectation.
00:53:50So, I should be myself, but also be who she wants me to be?
00:53:55Since when is being romantic a lot of pressure?
00:53:57It's part of being in a relationship.
00:53:59So is doing what the other person wants to do sometimes.
00:54:02Look, I think I'm lost. Are we still talking about me?
00:54:07Sam, when you have a girlfriend, you shouldn't be trying to pick up other girls, plain and simple.
00:54:12If you want Katie back, you're going to have to stop flirting with everyone else.
00:54:17Oh, so now this is my fault.
00:54:20Sam, I think I know what you need to do.
00:54:23You do?
00:54:24You do?
00:54:25Yeah, but Morgan, I'm going to have to pause you for a second.
00:54:28Sam and I need to talk about this guy to guy.
00:54:30Seriously?
00:54:32Trust me.
00:54:33What?
00:55:00What did you guys talk about?
00:55:13Just guy stuff.
00:55:15I gotta go find Katie. Liam, I cannot thank you enough.
00:55:19You ever need anything, I'm your guy.
00:55:23You got yourself a good one here, Morgan. Hang on to him.
00:55:26Thanks.
00:55:27I will.
00:55:36So, guy stuff.
00:55:39What did you guys talk about?
00:55:41I just told him that when you meet the right person, whether you're 12 or 17 or 30, you have
00:55:50to man up and make sure she knows how much you value her.
00:55:56Because the right person doesn't just come along every day.
00:56:01And when you love someone, you have to make sure that they know that.
00:56:08Oh.
00:56:09I love you, Morgan.
00:56:10Oh.
00:56:11And I don't want to go any longer without saying it because it's true.
00:56:16You are the most important thing to me.
00:56:20Not the drive-in, not Sam Raimi, not Sam Hitchens for that matter.
00:56:24Just you.
00:56:25So, if you want to go to our first dance as a couple together, I'd be honored to take you.
00:56:32That means a lot to me.
00:56:36Although, while you guys were on the phone, I did a little digging.
00:56:41We'd have to miss the first movie, but if we go to the dance first and cut out early,
00:56:46we're going to make it for the last three.
00:56:49So, you mean the Evil Dead, Sam Raimi, and I get to see you all dressed up?
00:56:57That's a date.
00:56:59Perfect.
00:57:00Too bad we had to get in a fight to figure that out.
00:57:04You know, we don't fight enough.
00:57:06Maybe we should do it more.
00:57:08No, thank you.
00:57:13Alright, I should let you go.
00:57:15I know you're normally in bed by now.
00:57:18Goodnight, Morgan.
00:57:20Hey, Liam?
00:57:21Yeah.
00:57:26I love you, too.
00:57:29I love you, too.
00:57:32That's what I'm trying to do.
00:57:33Come in.
00:57:34Let's go.
00:57:35Come in.
00:57:36I love you.
00:57:37Come in.
00:57:38Come in.
00:57:39I love you.
00:57:40I love you.
00:57:41That's my mission.
00:57:42Oh, cool.
00:57:43I love you.
00:57:44I love you.
00:57:45Come in.
00:57:46I love you.
00:57:47Love you.
00:57:48You care.
00:57:49You don't usually bake.
00:57:50It's for the bake sale.
00:57:51Oh, cool.
00:57:52I'm sure it'll be a big hit, then.
00:57:53Shouldn't you be in soccer practice?
00:57:55Yeah, so, weird thing.
00:57:58Practice was canceled today and the rest of the week because apparently the football team needs the field
00:58:03What that's not fair. Yeah, I know it sucks coach won't tell us much more and I
00:58:09Don't know. Maybe we'll just have to practice in the park or something. You guys deserve your practice space
00:58:14Let me call Devon and see what I can find out. That would be awesome. Thank you. Call you back. Okay. Bye
00:58:28Hey girl, how's the baking going?
00:58:34Really great
00:58:37Listen, do you know what's going on with the field? Liam said soccer practice was canceled because of football. Oh
00:58:43You haven't heard?
00:58:45Heard what?
00:58:46Heard what?
00:58:47Derek is getting the football team to double up on practices to get them ready for their big game coming up against the Trojans
00:58:54So what he's just canceling soccer practice doesn't own the field. I know it's a total abuse of power
00:59:02But when you are a captain of the football team class president and teachers pet
00:59:08Apparently you get whatever you want
00:59:10But what is the soccer team supposed to do? Look
00:59:14This isn't the first time that Derek has done something like this and it won't be the last
00:59:19It's male privilege and he thinks he can get away with it
00:59:22But
00:59:24We don't have to let him
00:59:26What do you mean? I mean
00:59:28I want to run for president this year and unseat him your VP a VP has never run against a sitting president
00:59:36Yeah, not yet, but I like making history
00:59:40And I think it would be cool if you consider running with me
00:59:45As secretary no as my VP
00:59:48two women in charge think about it
00:59:52I
00:59:53Just wouldn't want to do anything to lose my spot in student council altogether
00:59:57You're thinking about this all wrong Morgan
00:59:59We won't lose
01:00:02You know how persuasive you can be
01:00:04You convinced me to go out with Antoine and now for the cutest item in school
01:00:09I mean besides you and Liam of course
01:00:13Just tell me you'll think about it
01:00:15I will
01:00:18Right now I need to talk to Derek
01:00:20Hmm. Good luck with that
01:00:27Morgan, how's it going?
01:00:29Um, great. Just making cookies for the bake sale
01:00:33Oh, I'm sure they're gonna be amazing. You're such a good baker
01:00:35Am I?
01:00:36I don't think you've ever seen me bake
01:00:38Well, you're good at everything. So I guess I assumed
01:00:43So listen, I was calling about the whole practice field situation
01:00:46Oh, yeah, have you heard how good the football team is this year?
01:00:49Haven't you guys lost every game?
01:00:52Well, yeah, but that's why we're doubling down on our practices so we can kill it next weekend when we play the Trojans and make the school proud
01:00:58But Derek with all your extra practices you're taking time to leave in the soccer team
01:01:03I'm not doing anything
01:01:05Principal Lee approved it and the soccer team can practice anywhere
01:01:08We need to be on that field
01:01:10But so do they
01:01:12Soccer and football have their practices worked out for a reason so that it's fair to everyone
01:01:17It's just I was talking to Liam
01:01:19Oh
01:01:20Liam you guys are still together then?
01:01:22Yes, we are
01:01:23How are things with you and Anika?
01:01:25I ended things
01:01:27For good this time
01:01:29She just doesn't get me, you know
01:01:32Yeah, sorry to hear that
01:01:34I thought you called because you wanted to be friends Morgan
01:01:37After everything that happened last year. It's always been kind of awkward to be around you
01:01:41It's disappointing to know that you're only calling so you can help out Liam
01:01:45Derek we are friends. I'm just trying to make sure everything's fair. That's what student council does. We represent the student body
01:01:52Represent the student body not pull special favors for our boyfriends
01:01:57You're pulling special favors for yourself
01:01:59That's different if the football team wins the whole school wins these extra practices aren't everyone's best interest
01:02:07Unbelievable
01:02:08Devon is right about you
01:02:09Devon?
01:02:11What does Devon have anything to do with this? There's a hierarchy to student council and she answers to me
01:02:16For now
01:02:18But if people are unhappy with your leadership
01:02:21Don't get too comfortable off the top
01:02:23That's absurd
01:02:25Nobody unseats a sitting president
01:02:27Besides she wouldn't dare. I need this for my college applications
01:02:31Everyone needs it for their college applications
01:02:34You're not the only one who cares about this stuff
01:02:37Morgan, do you know how hard it is for a South Asian male to get into Harvard?
01:02:40It's practically impossible
01:02:44Did you know that Derek isn't even my real name?
01:02:47It's Del Pinder
01:02:48No one named Del Pinder gets elected student body president
01:02:52But I have to do whatever it takes to stand out from every other guy from a small town with immigrant parents
01:02:59How many of those guys do you think are captain of their football team?
01:03:01Huh?
01:03:03Zero
01:03:04It doesn't matter if our team sucks or that I don't even like football
01:03:08It gives my application an edge
01:03:11There's only so many spots at Harvard for someone like me and I plan to secure one and I won't let anyone take that from me
01:03:18That really sucks
01:03:20Feeling like you have to change who you are in order for anyone to take you seriously
01:03:24I just have no idea the pressure that I'm under for my parents school everyone expects something from me
01:03:30Everyone wants something from me
01:03:33You're the first person to ever reject me
01:03:35I never even knew what that felt like because I was so used to pleasing everyone all the time
01:03:40Oh, well, you're welcome, I guess
01:03:44Even though you were the one person that I didn't want to disappoint
01:03:48Look, I understand being under a lot of pressure
01:03:51But if you don't want to disappoint everyone, let the soccer team have their practice time back
01:03:56Being a captain isn't just about winning, it's about leadership
01:03:59And the soccer team needs your support
01:04:03You're right
01:04:04I wasn't being fair to those guys
01:04:07I'll call the principal and tell them that I want to switch the schedules back
01:04:10It's the right thing to do
01:04:12And I know everyone will appreciate it
01:04:15Or shall I say Delpeter
01:04:17Wow
01:04:19No one ever calls me by my real name
01:04:21I like hearing you say it
01:04:25You should try it out sometime
01:04:26It's cool to be unique
01:04:28People might surprise you
01:04:31Yeah, maybe
01:04:35I'll see you at school
01:04:51How was Mr. President?
01:04:54I know he can be a bit much, but we should cut him some slack
01:04:57He's got a lot on his plate
01:05:00And he let the soccer team have their practice time back
01:05:04He so got you
01:05:06What do you mean?
01:05:08That Derek charm
01:05:09It's how he gets what he wants
01:05:11But I got what I want
01:05:13The soccer team has their practice time back
01:05:15Yeah, and he got what he wants, Morgan
01:05:18You think he's a decent guy again
01:05:20He's good
01:05:21I'll give him that
01:05:23Always a politician
01:05:25But it's not like he did all of that on purpose
01:05:28Maybe
01:05:29Maybe not
01:05:31But politics means getting people to see what you want them to believe
01:05:35Whether it's the truth or not
01:05:39I already made up my mind that I'm running this year
01:05:42And I could use a smart, creative woman
01:05:46With interpersonal skills like you on my ticket
01:05:49You don't have to say yes, but I really think you should
01:05:54Okay
01:05:55I'll think about it
01:05:56Do that
01:05:58Oh, and Morgan?
01:06:00Uh-huh
01:06:01Maybe scrap those for the bake sale
01:06:04They don't look too appetizing
01:06:07Later, girl
01:06:16I just heard soccer practice was back on
01:06:33How'd you pull that off?
01:06:35I'm a smart, creative woman with interpersonal skills
01:06:38I use my political prowess
01:06:40Oh, I never thought of you as a politician before
01:06:43Of course I am
01:06:45I'm on student council
01:06:47Yeah, but you know
01:06:48Secretary, I mean
01:06:49Thought organization was more your speed
01:06:53Whoa, did you make those?
01:06:54Those look amazing
01:06:57Uh, yeah
01:06:58Cool, I'm gonna have to come over after practice and try one of them
01:07:01Sounds good
01:07:03Have fun
01:07:04All right, bye
01:07:05Politics means showing people who want them to believe whether it's the truth or not
01:07:19We got classic wood stain, bold blue
01:07:34Neon yellow
01:07:35Yeah, I don't think that little thing's gonna stretch around the tree house, but it would definitely get people's attention
01:07:41I vote wood stain
01:07:43It's a classic
01:07:44But whatever we do, it's gonna have to wait
01:07:48I'm jumping on a call with a new student in a few minutes
01:07:50But it's a Saturday, shouldn't you be doing that during school hours?
01:07:54Well, Principal Lee specifically asked me to take Ashley under my wing and make her feel welcome
01:07:59I've been texting Ashley all week and she seems really cool
01:08:03We have so much in common, I'm excited to meet her
01:08:06That's cool, yeah, I'm glad you're getting along
01:08:08What do you think?
01:08:10It's bright
01:08:11Well, you have fun and we will paint the tree house when you're done
01:08:16I've got my overalls ready
01:08:17Perfect
01:08:25Um, I was looking for Ashley
01:08:28Is she, um, is she there?
01:08:30Oh man, you know this always happens?
01:08:33What always happens?
01:08:35Well, people always get confused when your parents give you a girl's name
01:08:38Oh, you're Ashley?
01:08:41Yep, the one and only
01:08:43But you can call me Ash
01:08:45Oh, um, hi Ash
01:08:49So, how did the nail color work out?
01:08:52Neon yellow is a bold choice
01:08:54Um, it's bright
01:08:56I love it
01:08:58It's way better than that pink pearl
01:09:00This makes a statement
01:09:01Why do you know so much about nail polish?
01:09:03I have three older sisters who comes with the territory
01:09:09Hey, you didn't tell me you played the guitar
01:09:11Oh, yeah, well, kind of
01:09:14I'm still learning
01:09:16This guy Antoine has been giving me guitar lessons
01:09:19He's the guy who's dating your friend Devin, right?
01:09:21Right
01:09:23Good memory
01:09:24Well, when you're always moving around and starting new schools
01:09:27You get really good at keeping track of names
01:09:29Yeah, that must be hard
01:09:31Never staying in the same place for too long
01:09:33You can be
01:09:35But luckily my family's really tight
01:09:37Plus, now I have friends all over the place and that's pretty cool
01:09:41Yeah, that is cool
01:09:43Everyone I know grew up in the same town
01:09:47So, uh, do you have any siblings?
01:09:49I don't
01:09:50I always wished I did though
01:09:52Although I did grow up as friends with my next door neighbor, so
01:09:55There's that, I guess
01:09:57That's cool
01:09:58You guys still tight?
01:10:01Mm-hmm
01:10:04Well, now that I know you play the guitar, maybe we can jam sometime
01:10:07I've been trying to teach myself to play the drums
01:10:11How do you teach yourself to play the drums?
01:10:14Oh, it's easy
01:10:15I've just been watching a bunch of YouTube videos
01:10:17Drums are all about rhythm
01:10:18And I've got plenty of them
01:10:23Well, the dance team is gonna love you
01:10:27Oh, I don't know about that one
01:10:29Dancers scare me, you know
01:10:32Why?
01:10:33Anybody with that much discipline is just waiting to boil over
01:10:36Or they're incredibly free because movement is their outlet
01:10:42You're a glass-out-full kind of girl, aren't you?
01:10:44I try to be
01:10:48That's cool, me too
01:10:50So it's in the middle of the night
01:11:14The car breaks down on the side of the road
01:11:16My mom is in a panic, my dad's trying to solve everything
01:11:19And my little brother has his headphones on
01:11:21He can't even be bothered
01:11:23But nobody has signal
01:11:25So it feels like the end of the world, right?
01:11:27Of course
01:11:28So I'm freaking out, you know
01:11:30I'm starting to think like we really might be in trouble here
01:11:33And then this car pulls up behind us with no headlights on
01:11:36Everyone starts to panic
01:11:37So my dad tells my mom to get back into the car
01:11:40Meanwhile, I'm ready to fight this guy
01:11:42Then he walks out into the light and uh
01:11:44And?
01:11:47And it's my dad's new boss
01:11:48It turns out we were a quarter mile from town
01:11:51If we had just looked through the trees
01:11:54No!
01:11:55Yes, they sent out a big group to search for us
01:11:58Because they threw this welcome party and we never showed up
01:12:01Oh my god
01:12:03Well, was it a good party?
01:12:05Well, after thinking we were going to die on the side of the highway
01:12:08Yeah, it was great
01:12:10No way
01:12:10I bet you and your dad could have held off any highway killers
01:12:14Oh, you know we would have
01:12:22I didn't realize what time it was
01:12:25We've been talking for over three hours
01:12:27Have we?
01:12:29You didn't even notice
01:12:30Do you have somewhere to be?
01:12:31No, I just I was supposed to help Liam with this project and
01:12:35Oh, who's Liam?
01:12:37My uh, my neighbor
01:12:40Oh, that's right, the best friend
01:12:42Yeah, and also my boyfriend
01:12:46Oh

01:12:50Uh, well, we wouldn't want to keep Liam waiting any longer
