00:06:38want to just go over to her like she's in the other group.
00:06:41I want to impress her.
00:06:43Aren't you dating Samantha?

00:29:51Yeah, I had to write it by myself.
00:29:53Well, at least I tried to write it.
00:29:56Well, see ya.
00:30:10It's not terrible.
00:30:18You know, that's the nicest thing you've ever said about me.
00:30:24Wait, you actually read her favorite book?
00:30:27Yeah, I did.
00:30:27Very romantic, very gushy, a lot of stargazing, and just a lot of feelings in general.
00:30:38Yeah, that's called literature, Brad.
00:30:40Well, I see why she likes it.
00:30:46You really like this girl, huh?
00:30:48You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:30:54You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:30:59You know, she's focused on something other than herself, and I don't know.
00:31:02Well, I think that's really cool.
00:31:08That one's perfect for you.
00:31:13Isn't this a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?
00:31:16Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
00:31:18Well, why do you think this is perfect for me?
00:31:22Because you're always chasing your green light.
00:31:30Hey.
00:31:32There you are.
00:31:34I'm looking for you.

00:32:29Okay, but why do you like me?
00:32:33You're really pretty.

00:53:47Oh, my God.
00:53:49You're actually dumber than I thought.
00:53:52What?
00:53:53You were never special, Dan.
00:53:57I just thought you were.
00:54:00But reality check?
00:54:02You're just another generic jock with a two brain cell capacity and an expiration date.
00:54:08Yeah.
00:54:09And years from now, you'll just be that guy at the bar washed up talking about the high school games that nobody remembers.
00:54:17Right here, Dan.
00:54:20Right?
00:54:21This is your peak.
00:54:23It's all downhill from here.

00:54:29Woo!
00:54:29Woo!

00:56:59Ready for practice tonight?
00:57:01Yeah.
00:57:01Hey.
00:57:02Mia.
00:57:03Mia.
00:57:05Hey.
00:57:06I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:57:07I am Chloe.
00:57:09This is Mia, my good friend.
00:57:12And Mia, this is Chloe, my girlfriend.
00:57:17Hi.
00:57:18Brad talks about you all the time.
00:57:20Yeah, same.
00:57:23I actually had something to tell you.
00:57:26Yeah, what's up?
00:57:27Uh, I, I broke up with Dan.
00:57:33Oh, really?
00:57:35Well, that's great.
00:57:36He's a total moron.
00:57:38Yeah, I'm sure you deserve much better.
00:57:40Yeah.
00:57:41Well, I'll see you guys around.
00:57:43Hey, Mia, why don't you come to the gateway?
00:57:46Yeah, I'll sit with you if you want.
00:57:48Yeah, it'll be great.
00:57:49Yeah, maybe.
00:57:51See you guys around.
00:57:52Okay, I'll see you there.
00:57:57Hell of a love story, isn't it?
00:58:16Mm-hmm.
00:58:17Shame, it's all a lie.
00:58:19I figured out why you were writing those letters.
00:58:22Shut up.
00:58:23Here's the deal.
00:58:24You tell Chloe the truth,
00:58:26that you're the one writing all those sweet little letters,
00:58:29or I do.
00:58:30And if I do, the principal gets your whole file.
00:58:37Now.
00:58:38Now.
00:58:38Go on.
00:58:56Okay.
00:59:01Sorry.
00:59:01Excuse me.
00:59:02Just coming through.
00:59:03Sorry.
00:59:06Uh.
00:59:08Hey, Chloe.
00:59:09Oh my God, hi.
00:59:10I'm so glad you're here.
00:59:11Yeah.
00:59:12Um, it's a good game.
00:59:14I need to tell you something.
00:59:15I need to tell you something.
00:59:16Oh my gosh.
00:59:18Ron, are you okay?
00:59:20Yeah.
00:59:21Yep.
00:59:23I'm okay.
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:25I'm okay.
00:59:26I'm okay.
00:59:28I'll be back.
00:59:29Oh, good luck.
00:59:29Good luck.
00:59:29Yeah.
00:59:30I got this.
00:59:31Look at this.
00:59:35Um, what were you going to say, Mia?
00:59:38Um, I need to tell you, um, I've been, go on, tell her.
00:59:50I, oh, I knew you'd chicken out, but I didn't write those letters.
00:59:57What?
00:59:58Our little ghostwriter here did.
01:00:00Every word.
01:00:02They were just messing with you.
01:00:03Both of us.
01:00:04Chloe, it's not like that.
01:00:06At all.
01:00:07So, everything was a lie?
01:00:10It wasn't a lie.
01:00:11At all.
01:00:12I, oh, Chloe.
01:00:15Wait, I, no.
01:00:21Where are you going, man?
01:00:28Unbelievable.
01:00:32All this work.
01:00:34Captain Love Story.
01:00:35Did you sit in?
01:00:37Got some stupid girl.
01:00:41God.
01:00:42That he's been fucking desperate as a new chick found out.
01:00:50No, actually.
01:00:51I heard she's been screwing Professor Luke for her grades.
01:00:56Probably half the faculty.
01:00:58Shame that, uh, one pathetic war cost us the game.
01:01:02What the hell did you just say?
01:01:07Relax, man.
01:01:11If you're into leftovers, that's your call.
01:01:27What the hell's your problem?
01:01:29Don't you ever talk about her like that again.
01:01:32What the hell's your problem?
01:01:43Right?
01:01:46What the hell's your problem?
01:01:47What the hell is he?
01:01:47You just told him everything, huh?
01:01:49No.
01:01:49Everything?
01:01:50Well, what's wrong with your head?
01:01:52Captain.
01:01:52My captain.
01:01:55You little bitch.
01:01:56Come on, then.
01:01:59You think it's some kind of hero?
01:02:01Fuck us.
01:02:02I'm sorry about your boy toy, princess.
01:02:09Hey, hey.
01:02:12Hey, boy.
01:02:13Hey!
01:02:15Sorry, Brad.
01:02:19Let's go.
01:02:20Come on.
01:02:21Oh, my gosh.
01:02:22Brad.
01:02:23Brad.
01:02:25Hey.
01:02:26It's okay.
01:02:26It's okay.
01:02:27It's okay.
01:02:28No.
01:02:29No.
01:02:32Okay.
01:02:39It's going to be quick.
01:02:40Don't trip.
01:02:40It's okay.
01:02:41Hurry.
01:02:45Okay.
01:02:46Okay.
01:02:52It's just driving.
01:02:57Okay.
01:02:58You're going to make it, Brad.
01:02:59Okay?
01:02:59Stay with me.
01:03:01Okay.
01:03:02I'm so sorry this happened.
01:03:15It's all my fault.
01:03:19I wish you would have never asked me for help.
01:03:24I wish I would have just stayed invisible to you.
01:03:29None of this would have ever happened.
01:03:31I would have never fallen for you.
01:03:39I would have never fallen for you.
01:03:40Oh, it's you.
01:03:41Oh, it's you.
01:03:53Oh, it's you.
01:03:57Chloe.
01:03:58Hear me out, please.
01:04:00Please.
01:04:00What do you want, Mia?
01:04:06What do you want, Mia?
01:04:08For you to know the truth?
01:04:10Yeah.
01:04:11Brad lied, okay?
01:04:12But he didn't mean to hurt you.
01:04:14It's not up to the liar to decide whether the lie hurts or not.
01:04:17I know.
01:04:19I know.
01:04:19He just fell for you so hard.
01:04:22He didn't even know how to act like himself.
01:04:24I mean, look at everything he's done to make you happy.
01:04:27Has anyone in the school ever done anything like that for anyone?
01:04:31I know.
01:04:35I know he doesn't erase what he's done, but it should at least mean something.
01:04:40You think he really cares about me?
01:04:48I know he does.
01:04:50And I know you do, too.
01:04:53I only came because I got scared when I found out.
01:04:57That's not why you're here.
01:05:01And you?
01:05:05I'm letting go.
01:05:06Okay.
01:05:22Hey.
01:05:23Are you okay?
01:05:36I'm almost there.
01:05:43With Brad's help, just a little more, and I'll have enough for mom's surgery.
01:05:56Excellent work, as always, Mia.
01:06:27Where are you going?
01:06:42I heard she's calling with the Professor Luke.
01:06:52That's why she gets straight A's.
01:06:54Some people are just desperate.
01:07:13Oh, gosh.
01:07:14What do you want?
01:07:15I did what you asked.
01:07:17Except you did it.
01:07:18And now it's time to pay the price.
01:07:23No, I told her the truth.
01:07:25You chickened out.
01:07:26And now Brad's still with her, not me.
01:07:29It's not my fault that he hates you.
01:07:31Please.
01:07:32If it weren't for your little love letters, he wouldn't even know she exists.
01:07:35You're seriously blaming this on me because he doesn't want to be with you?
01:07:41You need help.
01:07:45Give it back.
01:07:46Excuse me.
01:07:47What are you doing?
01:07:48No.
01:07:49All this from homework?
01:07:51What are you doing?
01:07:52Give me my phone.
01:07:53Oh, just call it interest for fucking up, my love.
01:07:57Look.
01:08:07You're going to regret that.
01:08:10Help!
01:08:11Help!
01:08:12Please, she's attacking me.
01:08:14Any other student would be expelled for this.
01:08:26But, give me your academic record.
01:08:29Two-week suspension.
01:08:30Effective.
01:08:31Immediately.
01:08:32What?
01:08:33Principal Matthews, you can't do this.
01:08:35I need to be at school.
01:08:36I have nothing else.
01:08:37She stole my money.
01:08:39What money?
01:08:39Where would someone like her even get money?
01:08:42That's all, Mia.
01:08:43You can go.
01:08:43No.
01:08:47I said you can go.
01:08:49Sorry.
01:08:51She's...
01:08:51I said you can go.
01:08:57Samantha.
01:08:59Samantha.
01:09:01Please.
01:09:02I need that money for my mom's surgery.
01:09:04Not my problem.
01:09:05Can you just take what's not yours?
01:09:08Isn't that exactly what you did with Brad?
01:09:13At this rate, it'll take me a decade to earn the money back.
01:09:19Oh, my goodness.
01:09:22That's wrestling and wieners and beef.
01:09:26That's a pretty bad point.
01:09:27Leave me alone.
01:09:27Why?
01:09:28You got any footlongs here, or is that pro bono just for the faculty?
01:09:35Get out of here.
01:09:36What are you doing?
01:09:38Hmm.
01:09:40Oops.
01:09:41Oh, God.
01:09:42You know, this is your penis.
01:09:44Hey.
01:09:45It's all downhill from here.
01:09:47It's going in here.
01:09:48Oh, my God.
01:09:49What the hell is going on?
01:09:51It wasn't me.
01:09:52I swear.
01:09:52This comes out of your paycheck.
01:09:54What?
01:09:55I...
01:09:56I...
01:09:56I'm so sorry.
01:09:58You're lucky she got you to the hospital in time.
01:10:16Who?
01:10:17Mia.
01:10:19She drove you.
01:10:20No.
01:10:21No, Mia can't drive.
01:10:24She did that right.
01:10:25I...
01:10:26You were my everything.
01:10:32Jackson, you looks like you were about to...
01:10:34Jesus, back there.
01:10:35This part's my favorite.
01:10:36The way they realized they loved each other all along.
01:10:40Right.
01:10:41After three conversations and a kiss in the rain.
01:10:44Very realistic.
01:10:47It's romantic.
01:10:50It's cheesy.
01:10:54You don't have to watch with me.
01:10:56No, I want you.
01:10:58I want you.
01:10:59I'm sorry.
01:11:01I'm...
01:11:02Okay.
01:11:03Okay.
01:11:03Hi, Dad.
01:11:25I wish you were here.
01:11:37You didn't know how to fix this.
01:11:41Mom's...
01:11:42Really sick.
01:11:44She's really sick.
01:11:47And I can't save her.
01:11:48And I've tried so hard.
01:12:03Why did you leave?
01:12:07Oh, my God.
01:12:08Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:12:10I got you.
01:12:12You okay?
01:12:14Hey, hey.
01:12:15It's okay.
01:12:16Hey.
01:12:20It's okay.
01:12:31It's all over.
01:12:32All the money is gone.
01:12:38Even if I worked every second, it wouldn't be enough.
01:12:43You know, when I came out here and I...
01:12:45I saw you...
01:12:47I got so scared.
01:12:53Samantha took everything.
01:12:55I know.
01:12:55Every cent.
01:12:57And she knows who I am.
01:12:59She knows about me.
01:13:01And I'm paper hearts.
01:13:02Well, then, we will do everything that we can to make sure that she gives it back.
01:13:07How?
01:13:09How?
01:13:09She has all the cards in her hands.
01:13:11If she exposes me, I'm done.
01:13:13No school.
01:13:14No future.
01:13:15Nothing.
01:13:18You know what?
01:13:25Let's turn the tables.
01:13:29Keith, let's go.
01:13:32You called for me, Principal Matthews?
01:13:46Yes, come in.
01:13:47Have a seat, please.
01:13:54Hi, Samantha.
01:13:57So, Principal Matthews.
01:13:59Mia did not lie about everything.
01:14:00Samantha was the one that stole everything.
01:14:03Everything from the car wash.
01:14:04Everything that Mia worked so hard to get.
01:14:07Even if that were true, which it's not, how would a charity case like her have thousands just lying around?
01:14:14Here's your proof.
01:14:17Every single cent went right into Samantha's bank account.
01:14:20Mr. Matthews, they're just trying to blackmail me because I know the truth about Mia.
01:14:24You know what, Samantha?
01:14:24Samantha, this is exactly why I broke up with you.
01:14:27Because you lie.
01:14:28You lie and you manipulate and you don't care who gets hurt along the way as long as you get what you want, right?
01:14:34You want to play that game?
01:14:36Fine.
01:14:36You want to talk about liars?
01:14:38Here's your perfect straight-A student running a whole cheating empire under your nose.
01:14:44Paper hearts.
01:14:45That's her.
01:14:45And when I found out, they threatened me.
01:14:49And she attacked me.
01:14:51She told me that if I told anyone, she would kill me.
01:14:54So I just couldn't hide it anymore.
01:14:57Is this true?
01:15:00This is ridiculous.
01:15:02No, it's not.
01:15:04Because I run paper hearts.
01:15:07I always have.
01:15:08And Mia has never had anything to do with it.
01:15:11Do you fully understand the consequences of your confession, Brad?
01:15:16Yes, I do.
01:15:18So you expect me to believe a student like you who's barely turned in a completed essay his entire high school career?
01:15:27Well, that was exactly the point.
01:15:30No one would ever suspect it was me.
01:15:32You didn't.
01:15:33But yes, I ran paper hearts.
01:15:35I hired people to write the essays.
01:15:37I ran the app.
01:15:39I handled all the finances.
01:15:40And I made sure that it would never get traced back to me.
01:15:44Mia is a great, very hardworking student.
01:15:47And she would never do anything like this.
01:15:50She had nothing to do with it.
01:15:51I promise.
01:15:52Well, where did Mia get the money?
01:15:54Frankly, sir, I have no idea.
01:15:56But honestly, however much money is in Mia's bank account is really, well, none of our business.
01:16:02Brad, you're expelled effective immediately.
01:16:07Samantha, so are you.
01:16:09What?
01:16:09Now, I'm willing to keep this quiet and not involve the police.
01:16:14But if you want to press your luck, theft of this amount will put you behind bars for five years.
01:16:21Now, maybe your daddy's attorneys and lawyers can shave it down one or two years.
01:16:27It's your choice.
01:16:35Thank you, sir.
01:16:36Well, well, well.
01:16:55Looks like Deserat is out of job.
01:16:57You know, maybe you should look at the corner.
01:17:04And by the way, word of advice, I heard it pays better if you don't use protection.
01:17:08That's for every piece of shit thing you've ever said to me.
01:17:14Oh, my God.
01:17:18Mind me not to piss you off?
01:17:20You already do.
01:17:22Thanks.
01:17:22Yeah.
01:17:23Well, let's go to the hospital.
01:17:25Yeah.
01:17:26Oh.
01:17:27Oh.
01:17:31We have the money.
01:17:32Please, where's my mom?
01:17:33You're two hours late.
01:17:36We couldn't wait any longer.
01:17:38We had to move on to the next patient.
01:17:43Well, Doc, can you move her back into the room?
01:17:46That's not how this works.
01:17:48Well, it is tonight.
01:17:49Hey, Brad.
01:17:49Hey, it's okay.
01:17:51Listen, doctor.
01:17:52Grab every single doctor, every single nurse, every person that you need to make this operation happen
01:17:56so we can save this beautiful woman's life tonight.
01:18:03Wait here.
01:18:10Hey.
01:18:10Hey.
01:18:11Hey.
01:18:12We're too late.
01:18:13We're not too late.
01:18:15It's going to be okay.
01:18:16I promise.
01:18:30They're thinking so loud.
01:18:32I can hear it.
01:18:36I'm just glad you're okay, Mom.
01:18:40That's not all.
01:18:52Mom, how did you know you were in love with Dad?
01:18:55We were at this terrible karaoke bar.
01:18:59Oh, thanks.
01:19:00Neither one of us could sing to save our lives, but he got up anyway, sang horribly, just to make me laugh.
01:19:12Everyone was staring.
01:19:16But all I could see was him.
01:19:23That's it?
01:19:24Love isn't some big moments, sweetie.
01:19:29It's the little ones that make you feel seen, safe.
01:19:37You don't have to be anybody but yourself.
01:19:41Yeah.
01:19:45Mom, I think I'm going to mess everything up.
01:19:50Good thing you're the best fixer I know.
01:19:53Why did you do all of this for Mia?
01:20:07I don't know, because she's my friend.
01:20:10I think you do know.
01:20:11No.
01:20:11We're too different.
01:20:31But you and her,
01:20:34you always made sense.
01:20:36Write your own words this time.
01:20:43Please welcome to the stage, the one and only
01:21:13valedictorian Mia Brooks. Congratulations. Thank you. I'm so proud of you. Thanks. Absolutely.
01:21:23Oh, wow. Um, good afternoon, everyone. Um, I had a whole speech planned about hard work and
01:21:34dedication and all the usual stuff you're supposed to say. I've spent so much of my life
01:21:40writing words for other people. It feels wrong not to write this moment for myself. I want
01:21:48to talk about love. Love isn't some perfect story with a guaranteed happy ending. It's
01:21:58confusing, terrifying. And it makes you mess up over and over and over again. Because
01:22:09suddenly someone else's happiness matters more than your own. And sometimes the scariest part
01:22:17isn't even falling for someone. It's letting them see you. All of you. And trusting that
01:22:25they won't walk away. I spent so much time writing stories for everyone else. I think
01:22:32it's time I write my own. Congratulations, class of 2025. It's time I take my own advice.
01:22:41Bye. What the heck? Well, the show must go on, everyone. We have our next runner-up valedictorian,
01:22:48Chloe Hartwell.
01:22:55Brad. Yeah? What are you doing? You're supposed to be at graduation. Yeah, why aren't you at
01:23:02graduation? I already got my diploma. No ceremony for me. Um. My parents are moving tomorrow.
01:23:11New investment. New town. Tomorrow? You were just going to leave without saying anything?
01:23:25I figured you'd be better off.
01:23:27I got your letter. Yeah. Any notes? I got too scared to read it. Thought we could do it
01:23:46together. But first there's something I want to say. You're the most annoying, stubborn, frustrating
01:23:59person I've ever met. And I love you. I love you. And I'm done pretending. So if you don't
01:24:10feel the same way, just tell me right now. Yeah, you really should have read that letter.
01:24:23Why? Because then you'd already know how I feel.
01:24:40Because then you'd already know how I feel. There's something I'm going to hear.
01:24:44I'll tell you, like, just tell me. So if I don't know how I feel.
01:24:50If I don't know how I feel, you'll never know how I feel.
01:24:53I hope so.
01:24:55If I don't know how you feel.
01:24:56If I don't know how I feel.
01:25:02My self-want to me is, you'll never know how you feel.
01:25:05I'm just, you'll never know how you feel.
01:25:08I'm in my sweaters right now
01:25:12It's just you and me, boy
01:25:14If I can't wait for you, I'll take your eyes off my baby
01:25:23I don't know what I need
01:25:26I'll take you back
01:25:28I've been waiting for you
01:25:32I'll take you back
01:26:02If we're going to make this long-distance thing work, you're going to have to learn how to drive.
01:26:20I'm already regretting this.
01:26:21Good, that's the spirit.
01:26:23We're going to die.
01:26:25No, we're going to be great.
01:26:28This is going to be awesome.
01:26:30Ready?
01:26:30Yep.
01:26:32Not too bad, huh?
01:26:38Not too bad.
01:26:39Not too bad.
01:27:09What now?
01:27:11Anything?
01:27:13Everything?
01:27:14Sounds terrifying.
01:27:15Not with you.
01:27:30Ready to go?
01:27:32Yeah.
01:27:33You're driving.
01:27:34Sounds good.
