00:00:01Paper Hearts, my app where lazy students get A's and I get paid. Essays, homework,
00:00:08research, you name it. As long as I stay in the shadows, nothing's impossible.
00:00:24Well, almost nothing.
00:00:41Dan, you sure you didn't get help on that essay? I don't know what you're
00:00:46talking about. Really? Well, school does. Whoever's behind Paper Hearts, we're on to
00:00:55them. Once caught, it won't just be expulsion. Users will face consequences, too.
00:01:13Chapters four and five are tomorrow.
00:01:25Yeah. I know your secret. You're Paper Hearts, aren't you? Your words, they're art.
00:01:45Hey, don't worry. Your secret's safe with me. But I can't hold back anymore. This is all
00:02:02I've ever wanted.
00:02:10Oh. Oh. Sorry.
00:02:19You okay?
00:02:26What were you thinking about? Nothing. Okay. I'm Brad.
00:02:36Mia. Great to meet you. I actually wanted to ask you for a favor.
00:02:44No. Why? You don't even know what it is. Yeah, but if you're asking, then it's trouble.
00:02:49Well, it's actually something kind of personal. I need a love letter.
00:02:56Good one. Look, I know your Paper Hearts, right? Hey, what's that? Hey, I got a chain.
00:03:04Hey, just take it easy, man. Just take it easy. Hold on. I got it. I got a chain.
00:03:08Shoot me out. Are you insane? Saying that in front of everyone?
00:03:20Relax. I haven't told anybody anything yet.
00:03:24Well, did you hit your head too hard at practice and start imagining things?
00:03:27No, you left your laptop open and I saw everything.
00:03:32Oh, idiot.
00:03:34Listen, I'm not here to expose you or anything. I want to hire you.
00:03:40Then why don't you use the app like everyone else?
00:03:43Well, because it's not for a school assignment or anything like that. It's something personal.
00:03:49You know, Chloe Hartwell?
00:03:53You're the only girl in school who actually writes her own essays?
00:03:56I need your help in writing her a letter. Actually, it's a love letter.
00:04:06So you did hit your head. I don't know.
00:04:09Look, I'm not trying to blackmail you or anything. I need your help, okay?
00:04:12You keep your secret. I get what I want. Everybody wins.
00:04:16That's literally the definition of blackmail, you moron.
00:04:19Mom, the school is on to me. If he talks, it's over. No college, no future.
00:04:26I'll double your rate.
00:04:30What?
00:04:31I'll pay you. Listen, this is really important to me, so name your price.
00:04:40No.
00:04:41Hey, come on. You can't leave me here. I'm in the girls' bathroom.
00:04:46Hey!
00:04:46You did?
00:04:57I'm in the girls' bathroom.
00:05:00I'm in the girls' bathroom.
00:05:14You did?
00:05:15You did?
00:05:15You did?
00:05:15phase without payments. I'm getting money. Okay, but we don't have much time.
00:05:50All that work, all those words, and it's still not enough.
00:06:10I didn't take you for a midnight caller.
00:06:15I'll do it, but under one condition.
00:06:25Who even writes love letters anymore? You're not 12.
00:06:28Yeah, well, Chloe's a different kind of girl. She likes to read books, and she's a writer,
00:06:33and she's in a very romantic thing, so I don't want to just go over to her like she's any
00:06:38other
00:06:38girl. I want to impress her.
00:06:41Aren't you dating Samantha?
00:06:50No. That was just a room. Trust me, we were never really a thing, so will you do this for
00:06:59me?
00:07:03All right. All right, show me what you wrote.
00:07:14All right.
00:07:18Hey, Chloe.
00:07:20I think you're really cool. Not just regular cool, but cool.
00:07:28You make me feel weird. Not bad weird. Good weird. Like when I score a basket and people cheer,
00:07:38but also like when I eat too many tacos and my stomach gets all twisty. Rad.
00:07:45Bad. That's not bad. That's not bad. That's pretty good.
00:07:49Yeah, you obviously need my own.
00:07:52Okay.
00:07:53But I need something in return.
00:07:56Listen, Mia, you're a really cool girl. I just don't see you like that, okay?
00:08:00I need you to help me get with Dan.
00:08:07Dan.
00:08:08Big bad Dan.
00:08:11Yes. Dan, shut up.
00:08:13You're joking. You're not joking. Okay? If that's what you want to do, you got yourself a deal.
00:08:31Flattery, metaphors, a little poetic flair. Easy.
00:08:36Making it sound like Brad actually wrote it? Nearly impossible.
00:08:44Oh, this is gold. Chloe, you're the kind of story I told you she was a total lesbo.
00:08:51Samantha, give it back. Samantha.
00:08:54Oh, give it back. Give it back.
00:08:57Give it back, Chloe.
00:09:01You stupid, clumsy bitch.
00:09:04Oh, my God.
00:09:09Really?
00:09:10Oh.
00:09:21Come on out, Mia.
00:09:23Don't be shy.
00:09:25Here for some action, nerd?
00:09:27Oh, this is about me, legendary.
00:09:29No. No, I know. It's the wrong room. I...
00:09:32Hey. Hey. What are you doing?
00:09:35Hey, back up.
00:09:36Come on out, Mia.
00:09:38Don't be shy.
00:09:39Don't open the door.
00:09:40No, if they want something to stare at, I'll give them something to stare at.
00:09:43Back up. Watch.
00:09:47Hey, ladies.
00:09:50Oh, my God.
00:09:54All right. What's going on?
00:09:56Whoa, Brad. Close now.
00:09:59Sorry, uh, Samantha was knocking on the door and, you know...
00:10:02I... I...
00:10:02This was it.
00:10:03I... I'm not...
00:10:04To the principal's office, all of you.
00:10:07Get some clothes on.
00:10:09Will do.
00:10:10Thank you, sir.
00:10:12Hey, they're gone. You can open your eyes.
00:10:14Yeah, that's not why I'm keeping them shut.
00:10:17Oh, it's me.
00:10:18Yeah.
00:10:24I think I might be blind now.
00:10:27How do you have zero shame?
00:10:30It's a blessing and a curse.
00:10:33Hmm.
00:10:34I think Chloe would appreciate you bearing it all.
00:10:38Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:39Don't...
00:10:40Relax, sheesh.
00:10:42I'm just pulling your leg.
00:10:43For someone who gets naked on command, you're pretty sensitive.
00:10:50You could have any girl in the school.
00:10:52Why Chloe?
00:10:54I don't know.
00:10:56Why does it matter?
00:10:58Did it help me write the letters?
00:11:03Well, it's like...
00:11:03It's like little things.
00:11:05You know, like the way that she, like, touches her nose when she's, like, concentrating?
00:11:10You know, she'll, like, take her index finger and she'll...
00:11:12tap her nose and...
00:11:15I don't know.
00:11:16It's like, I don't even think she knows who's doing it, but...
00:11:21I can work with that.
00:11:27Awesome.
00:12:05What's your look?
00:12:07My suggestion.
00:12:14Mia!
00:12:16Oh!
00:12:17Oh, you did it!
00:12:19You did it!
00:12:21Oh!
00:12:21Oh!
00:12:23Sorry.
00:12:24Yeah, it's fine.
00:12:26You're a genius.
00:12:27Yeah.
00:12:28I knew my plan was going to work.
00:12:29Okay.
00:12:30Wait, whoa.
00:12:31Pump the brakes, Romeo.
00:12:33Don't forget about our deal.
00:12:34It's my turn now.
00:12:35What about Dan?
00:12:37Oh, Dan.
00:12:38Yeah, Dan.
00:12:40Oh, yeah, right.
00:12:41No, no, no.
00:12:41Yeah, Dan.
00:12:42Oh, gosh.
00:12:43Don't tell me you forgot.
00:12:45No.
00:12:45No, actually, I got this.
00:12:49Brad.
00:12:51You're going to see Dan tonight.
00:12:54Tonight?
00:12:55Yeah, there's a party at Ryan's, and Dan is going to be there.
00:12:58I don't do parties.
00:13:00Well, Dan parties, so you do now.
00:13:05But I don't have anything to wear.
00:13:12Oh, God.
00:13:14You scare me.
00:13:16You look like you're about to get naked again.
00:13:19No, I got a plan.
00:13:28See?
00:13:30I told you.
00:13:32Dashing.
00:13:33Leave me alone.
00:13:35Well, it's a good thing I brought back up.
00:13:38Ladies?
00:13:43Makeover time.
00:13:44Oh, my God.
00:13:46No.
00:13:47We need help.
00:13:48Please, no.
00:13:51Well, take great care of her for me.
00:13:53Of course.
00:13:53Anything for the captain.
00:13:55Don't worry.
00:13:56We'll make her shine.
00:13:57Oh, OK.
00:13:58Well, I'll see you at the party.
00:13:59Brad, don't leave me.
00:14:01Have a great time.
00:14:01Oh, no.
00:14:02Good luck.
00:14:03Don't leave me here.
00:14:04Enjoy.
00:14:05Brad.
00:14:05We can do something.
00:14:07We can maybe put it.
00:14:08Oh, damn.
00:14:29Yes, that's it.
00:14:31That's the one.
00:14:32Come on.
00:14:35Thanks, guys.
00:14:38Oh, OK.
00:14:51Deskrat, you almost fooled me for a second, but I see you right through your pathetic little
00:14:57disguise.
00:14:58I see you drooling over my boyfriend.
00:15:01Brad said you guys never even dated, so.
00:15:04Because of you, I got detention.
00:15:06Oh, get out of my dorm.
00:15:08Right after we settle the score.
00:15:10What?
00:15:11Oh, my God.
00:15:11Oh, my God.
00:15:13Samantha.
00:15:16What are you doing?
00:15:20Samantha.
00:15:22No, stop.
00:15:22Stop.
00:15:23Samantha.
00:15:24Open the door.
00:15:25No call for you, Cinderella.
00:15:28Donna.
00:15:45Hey, Mom.
00:15:46Is everything OK?
00:15:47The doctor said you stopped by.
00:15:50I didn't want to wake you.
00:15:52Next time.
00:15:53Wake me.
00:15:56Sweetie, what's wrong?
00:15:58Nothing.
00:15:59Um, you know, just high school can be a lot sometimes.
00:16:02You know, most people would have cracked under half of what you've been through.
00:16:08Not you.
00:16:09I was never that tough.
00:16:11Rest of soul, neither was your father.
00:16:13But you.
00:16:14You don't break.
00:16:16That's your gift, baby.
00:16:18And no one can take that from you.
00:16:21So whatever's got you down, you'll figure it out.
00:16:24You always do.
00:16:26Yeah, you're right.

00:25:50I don't have a choice
00:25:52you
00:25:53you
00:25:54you
00:25:56you
00:26:18Yeah, hey, come on, let's go.
00:26:21For what?
00:26:22A date.
00:26:24Now?
00:26:25Yeah, right now.
00:26:26The night's young.
00:26:28It's night, we run these streets.
00:26:31Let's go.
00:26:40Did you ever hear about how dolphins are like wet dogs?
00:26:46What?
00:26:48I read about it online.
00:26:51It kind of like makes you think.
00:26:55Yeah, yeah.
00:27:00Oh, hey.
00:27:01Watch this.
00:27:16It's all right.
00:27:17Not the next one.
00:27:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:18Right, right.
00:27:20Oh, okay.
00:27:22Woo!
00:27:25Yeah, all right, look at that.
00:27:28For my lady.
00:27:33Hey, can we get ice cream?
00:27:36Two, please?
00:27:37Um, what the hell are you doing here?
00:27:39Why are you wearing Brad's jacket?
00:27:42And Dan, really?
00:27:44Are you actually trying to hook up with this desk rat?
00:27:46We're on a date.
00:27:47Samantha, what do you want?
00:27:48If you're going to steal my boyfriend, don't get mad when I steal yours.
00:27:53Dan, I could really use your help with my chem homework, like, in my dorm.
00:27:59Oh.
00:28:02Yeah, Samantha's got this project.
00:28:04I'll be right back.
00:28:05Just, yeah.
00:28:06Let's go.
00:28:13That's five bucks for the ice creams.
00:28:27Hey.
00:28:34Mia.
00:28:34Let's go.
00:29:04Let's go.
00:29:36I'm sorry.
00:29:39It's the last time.
00:29:43Did you start the second letter?
00:29:45Yeah, I had to write it by myself.
00:29:47Or, well, at least I tried to write it.
00:29:50Hmm.
00:29:51Let's see it.
00:30:09It's not terrible.
00:30:13You know, that's the nicest thing you've ever said about me.
00:30:18Wait, you actually read her favorite book?
00:30:21Yeah, I did.
00:30:23Very romantic.
00:30:25Very gushy.
00:30:27A lot of stargazing.
00:30:29And just a lot of feelings in general.
00:30:32Yeah, that's called literature, Brad.
00:30:36Well, I see why she likes it.
00:30:40You really like this girl, huh?
00:30:42You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:30:48You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:30:53You know, she's focused on something other than herself, and I don't know.
00:30:57I think that's really cool.
00:31:02That one's perfect for you.
00:31:08Isn't this a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?
00:31:10Yeah, yeah.
00:31:11That's the one.
00:31:12Well, why do you think this is perfect for me?
00:31:18Because you're always chasing your green light.
00:31:24Hey.
00:31:26There you are.
00:31:28I'm looking for you.
00:31:30Well, that's my cue.
00:31:32For real.
00:31:47Hey.
00:31:52I've been thinking about you.
00:31:54Really?
00:31:55It must be hard with Samantha's tongue so far down your throat.
00:31:59What?
00:32:01Maybe nothing happened.
00:32:03Hey, I promise.
00:32:05Look, you were the only person that matters to me.
00:32:09Okay.
00:32:10Why?
00:32:12Why what?
00:32:14Why do I matter?
00:32:16What are you into?
00:32:18I'm into you, of course.
00:32:22Okay, but why do you like me?
00:32:27You're really pretty.
00:32:29And, like, you weren't always this pretty.
00:32:33Like, I'll be honest with you.
00:32:35I didn't even realize we were in the same class for a while.
00:32:40Hey, but now, you were, like, really hot.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:46Anything else?
00:32:48Uh, what?
00:32:50You, like, trying to confuse me?
00:32:51Mm-hmm.
00:32:53Okay, wait.
00:32:56You're beautiful.
00:32:57Oh, you already said that.
00:33:01Babe, what?
00:33:09You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:33:15You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:33:19I think that's really cool.
00:33:23I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.
00:33:43I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.
00:33:56Look, it's already been a couple days, and she still hasn't responded.
00:33:59I'm pretty sure she hates me.
00:34:01No, it hasn't been that long.
00:34:04Maybe I should just talk to her.
00:34:06No.
00:34:07No, that's not how this works.
00:34:09You need to let her wonder.
00:34:11Let her wonder, huh?
00:34:13Yeah.
00:34:13Or maybe, or maybe, now hear me out, I could just talk to her and tell her that I like
00:34:19her.
00:34:20And ruin the mystery?
00:34:23Are you sure you put the letter in her locker?
00:34:25Yes.
00:34:26Brad, I'm sure.
00:34:34Look who's back.
00:34:36Desk rat herself.
00:34:38What's in the bag, rat?
00:34:39Another tragic hoodie, or did Goodwill finally cut you off?
00:34:44Stop.
00:34:45Look some yet, but give it, give it back.
00:34:49Let's see.
00:34:57My dearest Chloe, oh my god, no wonder you're a virgin.
00:35:02Too busy playing for the other team.
00:35:03Samantha, give it back.
00:35:05Yes?
00:35:07It's not funny, please.
00:35:08Hey.
00:35:12What the hell's going on?
00:35:17Samantha, what the hell is your problem?
00:35:18Give Mia her bag back right now.
00:35:20Since when do you take Charity Case's side over mine?
00:35:23I know you still love me, Brad.
00:35:26Samantha, you and I had a fling for like a minute.
00:35:29And then you started acting like a complete psychopath.
00:35:31You and me are not a thing.
00:35:33So give me her bag back right now.
00:35:38This is all her fault.
00:35:47Thanks.
00:35:52Brad.
00:35:54You didn't give Chloe the letter.
00:35:56I...
00:35:56Mia.
00:35:58You lied to me.
00:35:59No.
00:36:00Yeah, you did.
00:36:01No, I didn't.
00:36:06No.
00:36:27Brad.
00:36:30Please.
00:36:31Please.
00:36:44Who is it?
00:36:46It's Brad.
00:36:50Come in.
00:37:01Why didn't you give her the letter?
00:37:04I don't know.
00:37:08Bullshit.
00:37:08I don't.
00:37:09I don't.
00:37:10What, did you want some money?
00:37:11Was that it?
00:37:12You were just trying to squeeze some more money out of me?
00:37:13Fuck you, Brad.
00:37:16There must have been a reason.
00:37:18Mia, you're the smartest person I've ever met.
00:37:20I refuse to believe that you just didn't know what you were doing.
00:37:22Or that it was an accident.
00:37:23Okay, I'm sorry.
00:37:25I'm really sorry, okay?
00:37:26But I can't keep writing for you anymore.
00:37:28You don't understand how hard it is to make someone fall for you when it's not even you.
00:37:43I need you, Mia.
00:37:48I put the letter in Chloe's locker and she wrote back.
00:37:52But I just, I can't read it without you.
00:37:58I'm not doing this anymore.
00:38:06Please.
00:38:29Dear Chloe, I don't know how to tell you what you make me feel without sounding like a total cliché.
00:38:34But when I see you, everything else fades.
00:38:41I like the way that you always bite your pen when you're stuck on a sentence.
00:38:44Like you're trying to scare the words into place.
00:38:50I like that you don't try to fit in.
00:38:52You just exist.
00:38:54Exactly the way you are.
00:39:02You make the world's chaos quieter just by being in it.
00:39:07Brad.
00:39:31She wrote back.
00:39:33I'm going to throw up.
00:39:35Okay, let's see.
00:39:41Dear stranger, every time I open my locker, my heart sinks if it's empty.
00:39:47Each letter you leave makes the story of my life feel a little more complete.
00:39:52Oh, that's good.
00:39:55But every story has to step off the page eventually.
00:39:59What if we met?
00:40:04She wants to meet?
00:40:07Oh my god.
00:40:17What's this?
00:40:19It's Chloe's favorite band.
00:40:21You are to think you guys have things in common, right?
00:40:24Yeah, yeah.
00:40:26What about when girls like when guys have their own interests?
00:40:29Okay, but not when their thing is basketball and burping the alphabet.
00:40:33You remember that?
00:40:35Yeah.
00:40:36That's bad.
00:40:37That's really bad.
00:40:39Oh my god.
00:40:40Okay, so let's see.
00:40:42Okay.
00:40:44Chloe's favorite book?
00:40:46Um, The Night Circus.
00:40:48Okay.
00:40:50Chloe's favorite movie?
00:40:52Pride and Problems.
00:40:54Prejudice.
00:40:56The movie's called Prejudice?
00:40:58Prejudice.
00:40:58Pride and Prejudice.
00:40:59Oh, Pride and Prejudice.
00:41:00Good job.
00:41:01Okay.
00:41:02All right.
00:41:03What food does she hate?
00:41:05Um, anything with olives.
00:41:08Good job!
00:41:10Hey, look at you.
00:41:11You're not completely a lost cause.
00:41:13Hey, they don't call me B-Rad for nothing.
00:41:16Okay.
00:41:17Um, you're taking her on the first date.
00:41:20Where are you going?
00:41:22The drive-in movie theater.
00:41:28Let me ask you something.
00:41:31If someone were to take you on a date, where would you want to go?
00:41:38It's not important.
00:41:39Anyways, I don't drive, so, yeah.
00:41:42You don't drive?
00:41:43I never got my license.
00:41:46You're lying.
00:41:48Oh my god, Little Miss Overachiever never got the license.
00:41:52This is amazing.
00:41:53It's not funny.
00:41:54It's very funny.
00:41:55It's pretty funny.
00:41:57Wow.
00:41:59Well, lucky for you, Coach Sterling over here is open for driving lessons.
00:42:05No, Brad, it's not happening.
00:42:07Yes.
00:42:08I'm serious.
00:42:09No.
00:42:10No, I'm serious.
00:42:11It's not a joke.
00:42:12It's not going to happen.
00:42:14It's happening.
00:42:23All right, driver's head time.
00:42:25You ready?
00:42:25I'm not doing it.
00:42:27Come on, you're a genius.
00:42:29How hard can driving be?
00:42:30No, I'm serious.
00:42:31Brad, please just drop it.
00:42:33Look, what are you so afraid of?
00:42:35It's a car, not a shark.
00:42:36You're going to be fine.
00:42:37Yeah, well, my dad died in one, and my mom's been in the hospital ever since, so I'm not
00:42:43driving.
00:42:48I got an idea.
00:42:51All right, so why don't you just stay right here?
00:42:54Okay.
00:43:05What are you doing?
00:43:08We're going to take it slow, just like a turtle.
00:43:12And lookit, nothing's going to happen.
00:43:16Do you trust me?
00:43:19I do.
00:43:21Great.
00:43:23Hop on in.
00:43:24Okay.
00:43:27I think I got you a gift.
00:43:29Okay.
00:43:30Let me see.
00:43:34Cute.
00:43:35Oh, God.
00:43:38You got this.
00:43:42Perfect.
00:43:43All right.
00:43:44That's the brake.
00:43:45That's the gas.
00:43:47We're in drive.
00:43:50That's reverse.
00:43:51Okay.
00:43:51All right.
00:43:52So it's in neutral right now.
00:43:54Whenever you're ready, put it in drive.
00:43:57Slowly put it on the gas.
00:43:59Okay.
00:44:00On the gas.
00:44:02Right on the gas.
00:44:03Hold on.
00:44:04Hold on.
00:44:04Hold on.
00:44:04Hold on.
00:44:07Oh, my God.
00:44:08Okay.
00:44:09All right.
00:44:10Wow.
00:44:10That was great.
00:44:11No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:44:12Hey, no, hey.
00:44:12Hey, I got you.
00:44:13I got you.
00:44:14And honestly, not too bad for your first time.
00:44:17I almost killed us.
00:44:18Well, that builds character.
00:44:21Yeah, you did great.
00:44:22I think lesson one is complete.
00:44:25All right.
00:44:26My turn.
00:44:27Ah!
00:44:29Lucas?
00:44:31CT33.
00:44:32Oh, my God.
00:44:33What dare you?
00:44:34Do people really look at each other like that?
00:44:36I mean, come on.
00:44:38Yeah.
00:44:38They're blind.
00:44:39They're blind or subtracting her.
00:44:41You can kiss your company.
00:44:42Watch it, but you're the kiss right here.
00:44:44Right here.
00:44:45Oh.
00:44:46Oh!
00:44:47Call it.
00:44:48Yeah.
00:44:49Look at you.
00:44:50I just don't understand why people think this stuff is, like, so romantic.
00:44:56It's the buildup.
00:44:57The anticipation, you know?
00:44:59Just like her.
00:45:00You can kiss your company goodbye.
00:45:04So, are you sure?
00:45:08I've never been more sure of anything in my whole life.
00:45:16What about your mom in the company?
00:45:19Sorry, I need to take this.
00:45:21Hello?
00:45:22Hello?
00:45:24I'll be right there.
00:45:28Mom?
00:45:29You said it was an emergency?
00:45:31It's nothing.
00:45:32Sweetie, just a little scare.
00:45:33I'm fine.
00:45:36And who is this handsome young man?
00:45:38Your boyfriend?
00:45:40Yes, yes.
00:45:41Hi, I'm Brad Sterling.
00:45:43It's great to meet you, ma'am.
00:45:44Oh, you were quite the catch.
00:45:48What are your intentions with my daughter?
00:45:50Mom?
00:45:50He's not my boyfriend.
00:45:57Her heart is failing faster than we expected.
00:45:59She needs a transplant within the week.
00:46:02How much?
00:46:03Even with insurance, you're looking at $200,000.
00:46:08Man, no other options.
00:46:09It's okay.
00:46:10I'll figure it out.
00:46:11Man.
00:46:12Trust me.
00:46:13I'll figure it out.
00:46:25Hey.
00:46:29I'm such a freaking idiot.
00:46:32This whole time, paper hearts, it's...
00:46:35That's why you're doing it.
00:46:36Yeah, but Brad, I'm stuck.
00:46:38Even with everything I've saved, it's not enough money.
00:46:40Hey, hey, hey, it's okay.

00:55:13I'm not here to fight.
00:55:15And what do you want?
00:55:16Imagine my surprise when your dumbass accidentally sends me your personal info straight from the Paper Hearts account.
00:55:25Exhausted much?
00:55:26I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:55:28That's not mine.
00:55:33Two phones.
00:55:34Weird for a broke little charity case.
00:55:35Get out, Jimmy.

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

01:26:25Hold on, darling
01:26:26i don't
01:26:26And don't let me down
01:26:29Hope i feel it, too
01:26:30Just give me a sign
01:26:32Cause I know, I know it ain't over
01:26:39I want to next time
01:26:42Hold on, darling, don't let me go
01:26:46I wanna stay fearless, so just hold me close
01:26:50Cause I know, I know it ain't over
