00:00:05I've always tried to blend in at Queensville Academy.
00:00:07Stay invisible.
00:00:11But.
00:00:21Aw, Ari!
00:00:23You're twinkling like a dollar store ornament!
00:00:27I think she's gonna cry.
00:00:29Good! Glitter sticks better to tears.
00:00:32Have a pathetic summer, loser.
00:00:37I don't belong here.
00:00:39The only thing that keeps me going is fencing.
00:00:47My pride and joy.
00:00:53En garde?
00:00:54Pret?
00:00:56Olé!
00:01:00Halt!
00:01:01Point!
00:01:03Great effort, Ari.
00:01:05Do you think community colleges even have fencing teams?
00:01:09I don't know.
00:01:10They're poor.
00:01:11I wouldn't be able to afford a fancy school anyway.
00:01:13I have to save every penny for my mom's cancer treatment.
00:01:17We'll find a way.
00:01:24Stanford's offering a full scholarship and a hundred grand.
00:01:27This is a chance to save my mom, but only if you make the boys' team and win nationals.
00:01:32All I need is a fake name.
00:01:34Fake transcript.
00:01:36And to convince everyone I'm a boy.
00:01:40All right, Ari.
00:01:41Turn a minute.
00:01:43Literally.
00:01:50Hey, I'm Ari.
00:01:51Hey, I'm Ari.
00:01:53I'm Ari.
00:01:57Come on, guys.
00:01:59Hurry up.
00:01:59Let's go.
00:01:59Let's go.
00:02:00First day pretending to be a boy.
00:02:03Please, God.
00:02:04Let this work.
00:02:11You look like you don't belong here.
00:02:14Everyone line up on the strip.
00:02:20Watch it, new kid.
00:02:23Wait.
00:02:24Is that Julian Blake?
00:02:28My biggest crush?
00:02:32Is that Julian Blake?
00:02:59Oh, I am so sick.
00:03:02Oh, I am so sick.
00:03:07See you later.
00:03:10Stargirl.
00:03:11But he never did.
00:03:12Until now.
00:03:14Please, don't let him recognize me.
00:03:21Yo, Julian.
00:03:25Line up.
00:03:27Now.
00:03:28Now.
00:03:35And you are.
00:03:37The new twink boy.
00:03:40Ari.
00:03:43Us.
00:03:44Ari at Sherwood.
00:03:45Sir.
00:03:46Ari asked.
00:03:47Coach, what's a shrimp like that doing at Kingsfield?
00:03:50I can't believe he's this cocky.
00:03:52Guess we'll find out.
00:03:53Everyone partner up.
00:03:54Arius.
00:03:56You're with Julian.
00:03:58Got it.
00:03:59Sir.
00:04:02Sure you're not here for the mask out, tryouts?
00:04:04We can use a new gopher.
00:04:05Uh, yeah.
00:04:06I'm sure.
00:04:07I don't care how tiny you are.
00:04:09I'm not going easy on you.
00:04:13On guard.
00:04:14Pret.
00:04:16L.A.
00:04:20Point.
00:04:21Arius.
00:04:22You're fast, shrimp.
00:04:23L.A.
00:04:26Point.
00:04:27Julian.
00:04:27Not fast enough.
00:04:28So cocky.
00:04:29L.A.
00:04:30L.A.
00:04:34L.A.
00:04:35L.A.
00:04:35L.A.
00:04:36L.A.
00:04:37L.A.
00:04:39L.A.
00:04:46Dude, the fuck are you doing?
00:04:48Get off of me.
00:04:51I slipped.
00:04:53Oh, no.
00:04:54The floor.
00:04:54Just watch your feet, shrimp.
00:04:56Not bad, Arius.
00:04:57Just remember to keep your balance.
00:04:58Thanks.
00:05:01Wait.
00:05:02Was that too girly?
00:05:03I mean, thank you.
00:05:04Room assignments are posted.
00:05:06Practice starts at 6 a.m. sharp.
00:05:08Don't be late.
00:05:09Oh, no.
00:05:10I'm blushing.
00:05:19I'm doing this for you, Mom.
00:05:22Hey, Rooney.
00:05:32Julian!
00:05:35Oh, my God.
00:05:37Told you to watch it, new kid.
00:05:39I'm rooming with my biggest crush.
00:05:51Dude, for real, you gotta forget about that chick who ghosted you.
00:05:53She's not worth it.
00:05:54Dude, shut up, dude.
00:05:56Dude, I don't even know her name.
00:05:58Yeah, I can't stop thinking about her.
00:06:00Now, shut up.
00:06:00Wait, is he talking about me?
00:06:07Dude, I can't believe you're rooming with the string bean.
00:06:09Looks like he's in a Korean boy band.
00:06:11Oh, what you hiding in there?
00:06:13Give it back.
00:06:14Oh, Arius is a mama's boy.
00:06:17Is this your sister, Arius?
00:06:18Hook me up, bro.
00:06:18Yeah, you sure you want kids with pipsqueak genetics?
00:06:23You don't mind.
00:06:24I'm pretty tired, so I'm gonna head to bed early.
00:06:28Yeah, boys.
00:06:29We gotta make sure our star athlete gets a beauty sleep.
00:06:33Don't chuck the mile.
00:06:35Arius.
00:06:45For someone so mean, his body sure is nice.
00:06:53What are you looking at, Shroom?
00:06:55Shit.
00:06:56He caught me checking him out.
00:06:59Nothing?
00:07:09Nothing, bro.
00:07:10Just your six-pack.
00:07:12Huh.
00:07:13Yeah, do me a favor.
00:07:14Don't look at me at all.
00:07:16It's fucking weird.
00:07:17Hey, Julie, you hanging out with us tonight?
00:07:19Nicholas has a case of beers in his room.
00:07:21Let's go, dude.
00:07:25Dude, why the hell is Coach bringing on some kid who needs a booster seat on the team?
00:07:28I thought pretending to be a boy was hard enough.
00:07:30Now I have to be roommates with my crush.
00:07:48I need a cold shower.
00:07:52Hopefully I'm the only one hitting the boys' bathroom in the middle of the night.
00:08:16This is just me using the water pressure garbage in here.
00:08:19No.
00:08:20No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:08:24No, no, no, no!
00:08:25Not him.
00:08:25Anyone but him.
00:08:27Ari, is that you?
00:08:28Uh, yeah.
00:08:29You know, just taking a late night rinse, bro.
00:08:33Hey, weren't you asleep like five minutes ago?
00:08:36Insomnia.
00:08:37I didn't even notice you were gone.
00:08:42I came here to cool off, not meltdown.
00:08:47Shit, you can I borrow your shampoo?
00:08:50Do you have some or not?
00:08:52Uh, yeah, just one second.
00:08:54Um.
00:09:02I think my grandma uses the shampoo.
00:09:05Oh, God.
00:09:05Lavender or vanilla?
00:09:07Stupid.
00:09:08Yeah, uh, I must have packed my sister's pipe with steak.
00:09:12Oh, yes!
00:09:14Wait till it was late enough so you could cry in the shower?
00:09:17What are you two doing here?
00:09:18Oh, I already saw Ari is ducking into the bathroom.
00:09:21I thought we'd find out if the new kid's got a sword or a butter knife.
00:09:24Maybe I'll just skip showering for the rest of the year.
00:09:30Don't!
00:09:37Oh!
00:09:38Ugh!
00:09:40Am I tripping or is there a girl in the boys' bathroom?
00:09:43Nope.
00:09:43You must be high or something.
00:09:44Dude, have you even gone through puberty yet?
00:09:46Your body's smoother than a Ken doll.
00:09:48I shave, okay?
00:09:50Aerodynamics.
00:09:51Makes me quicker on the fencing strip.
00:09:52Ah, bro's rocking a toddler-sized lightsaber under there.
00:09:55Can't even reach the urinal.
00:09:58Raising a boy who cries in the shower?
00:10:00Your mom must be proud, huh?
00:10:03All right, boys.
00:10:04That's enough hazing for one night.
00:10:05Give the kid a break, all right?
00:10:06Oh!
00:10:08Watch yourself, Arias.
00:10:09You might be his type.
00:10:10Shut the fuck up, dude.
00:10:12All right, all right.
00:10:16Uh, next time, just lock the door.
00:10:22All right, thanks.
00:10:23Thanks, bro!
00:10:27If he looks at me like that again, I'm done for.
00:10:35Talk to insurance again.
00:10:36Still no luck.
00:10:37Thinking of selling the car,
00:10:39you should cover at least part of the surgery deposit.
00:10:41She's already sacrificed everything for me.
00:10:44Now it's my turn to save her for once.
00:10:51Stand up.
00:10:53Stand up.
00:10:55Stand up.
00:10:56Now!
00:11:01Arias, don't tell me you came unprepared on your first official day.
00:11:04Where's your glove?
00:11:04Sir, I...
00:11:06Answer me.
00:11:06Where's your glove?
00:11:07It was in my bag last night,
00:11:09but I think that maybe someone...
00:11:11Be professional, Arias.
00:11:13Keep your eyes on your stuff.
00:11:14Of course Mason stole my glove.
00:11:16Really?
00:11:17The shower wasn't enough?
00:11:18Look, I can't deal with any excuses on this team.
00:11:20Run laps.
00:11:21Now!
00:11:26Hey!
00:11:27Enough fooling around.
00:11:28On the strip.
00:11:29It's time for practice.
00:11:32Attention!
00:11:33Line up, boys.
00:11:41I want you boys to remember
00:11:42that only top two fencers
00:11:44can qualify for a shot
00:11:45at the Stanford Full Ride
00:11:46and the $100,000 prize.
00:11:48Right now,
00:11:49Julian is ranked number one.
00:11:51Mason, you're number two.
00:11:52Let's go!
00:11:53And Arias is number three.
00:11:55Aw!
00:11:55I'm stuck in bronze medal land.
00:11:57Hey, you should be proud.
00:11:59Third place is great
00:12:00for someone with T-Rex arms.
00:12:03I'm gonna wipe
00:12:04that smug smile
00:12:05off his face.
00:12:08Coach.
00:12:10I want to bench Julian.
00:12:15I want to bench Julian.
00:12:17Fine.
00:12:19You're up.
00:12:20Desert.
00:12:21Oh, yay.
00:12:23I mean,
00:12:24uh,
00:12:25sick or whatever.
00:12:31En garde.
00:12:33Pret.
00:12:34Ale.
00:12:36Point.
00:12:37Julian.
00:12:40Ale.
00:12:43Point.
00:12:44Julian again.
00:12:47You good?
00:12:51Ale.
00:12:53Point.
00:12:54Julian.
00:12:55Match.
00:12:58Coach, this isn't my glove.
00:13:00I don't care.
00:13:01Good fencers don't make excuses
00:13:02for their equipment.
00:13:03National tryouts is in one week.
00:13:05Right now,
00:13:06you are number three.
00:13:07That's not good enough to make it.
00:13:08But I will be.
00:13:14I can beat Mason and Julian.
00:13:16I can win.
00:13:20Arias.
00:13:22What the fuck are you doing here, bro?
00:13:26What the fuck are you doing here, bro?
00:13:29I'm practicing to beat you.
00:13:31Shit, man.
00:13:31You're intense.
00:13:36Hey, um,
00:13:37I know it was Mason took your glove.
00:13:38I don't know why he's so petty.
00:13:41Got it back for you.
00:13:42Here.
00:13:43Don't lose it again.
00:13:46Thanks.
00:13:47You didn't have to.
00:13:48All right.
00:13:49Stop acting like a girl.
00:13:52Besides,
00:13:52I'd rather beat you fair and square.
00:14:00Did you grow up around here?
00:14:02No.
00:14:04You?
00:14:05Yeah, I did,
00:14:06but I swear to God,
00:14:07I've seen you somewhere before.
00:14:08It's crazy.
00:14:12I swear to God,
00:14:13I've seen you somewhere before.
00:14:14It's crazy.
00:14:16Let me know if I cross the line.
00:14:18Okay?
00:14:18That's fencing.
00:14:19You're supposed to.
00:14:24Does he recognize me
00:14:25from the night we hooked up last year?
00:14:27Did you compete at regionals?
00:14:29No.
00:14:29Or, uh,
00:14:30not around here anyways.
00:14:33Where?
00:14:34What do I say?
00:14:35What do I say?
00:14:36New York.
00:14:37Huh.
00:14:38Mm, yeah.
00:14:40It's just,
00:14:41I met someone at regionals.
00:14:43Fast,
00:14:43like you.
00:14:44You meet a lot of people
00:14:45at those tournaments.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:54This person looked
00:14:56just like you.
00:14:58Like,
00:14:59same facial structure,
00:15:01similar build,
00:15:01honestly.
00:15:02The only thing is,
00:15:03um,
00:15:04that person was a girl.
00:15:09That person was a girl.
00:15:12Ha, ha, ha,
00:15:14ha,
00:15:14wrong person,
00:15:16bro.
00:15:16Definitely not a girl.
00:15:23A hundred percent.
00:15:25A dude.
00:15:31All right, Arias.
00:15:36Catch you later, Ari.
00:15:41Maybe I should have just told him.
00:15:43No.
00:15:44I'm here for my mom.
00:15:45Nothing is more important
00:15:47than winning that money.
00:15:53What are you doing up so early?
00:15:55Figured I'd get a head start.
00:15:56Hmm.
00:16:05Okay.
00:16:06Breathe.
00:16:07He's just
00:16:08walking
00:16:09toward you.
00:16:11Totally normal.
00:16:16Oh God.
00:16:17Is he about to make a move?
00:16:22Dude,
00:16:23what are you doing, dude?
00:16:25You're standing
00:16:26in front of my deodorant.
00:16:28Right.
00:16:29Yeah.
00:16:30No problem.
00:16:38See you at practice, Arias.
00:16:48Ah,
00:16:49you think a couple extra hours
00:16:50is going to make you
00:16:51anything but a Happy Meal toy?
00:16:54Hey.
00:16:55I'm talking to you,
00:16:56shrimp.
00:16:57What's that?
00:17:16What the fuck, bro?
00:17:17You're defending the shrimp?
00:17:18Yeah.
00:17:19Toothpick here thinks
00:17:20he can practice
00:17:20without the rest of us.
00:17:21Why don't you teach him a lesson?
00:17:23I don't like disturbances
00:17:24when I work out.
00:17:30Okay.
00:17:35Thanks.
00:17:36Again.
00:17:38Don't worry about him.
00:17:39He's obviously intimidated.
00:17:42By me?
00:17:43Yeah.
00:17:43You're a threat to him.
00:17:45Huh.
00:17:46You a threat?
00:17:48I guess I am.
00:17:49Don't sell yourself short, shrimp.
00:17:51You got skills.
00:17:52Hey, uh,
00:17:53there's a party tonight.
00:17:55Everyone on the team's going.
00:17:55You should come.
00:17:56Oh, yeah?
00:17:58Sounds cool.
00:17:59Cool.
00:17:59I'll send you the details.
00:18:01And, um,
00:18:02it's a pool party.
00:18:03Bring trucks.
00:18:05Did you just say pool party?
00:18:09A pool party?
00:18:11That's Arius.
00:18:13This is a terrible idea.
00:18:15On the other hand,
00:18:16Julian will be there, too.
00:18:40Oh, Jesus.
00:18:41Sorry.
00:18:42Sorry.
00:18:42I didn't see anything.
00:18:43You saw everything!
00:18:45No, I didn't.
00:18:46I mean, maybe.
00:18:46I don't know.
00:18:48Dude!
00:18:48Have you ever heard of knocking?
00:18:51I'm sorry, man.
00:18:51I thought you were at the library.
00:18:57So.
00:19:00So.
00:19:02What happened to that girl that was in here?
00:19:04Oh, she was embarrassed.
00:19:07Took a walk of shame.
00:19:08Out the window.
00:19:09She jumped out the window?
00:19:11Yeah, dude.
00:19:11Real gymnast type beat.
00:19:13She was going to surf to Salt Lake on my shit.
00:19:15Shit, a gymnast?
00:19:16God damn, dude.
00:19:17We got to put a sock on that doorknob or something.
00:19:19Yeah, dude.
00:19:19Totally.
00:19:20No arguments here.
00:19:21Yeah.
00:19:22How was she?
00:19:24Uh.
00:19:26Soft.
00:19:26She was soft?
00:19:27I mean,
00:19:29beautiful.
00:19:30Like,
00:19:31emotionally beautiful.
00:19:32Shit, Arius write poetry now.
00:19:34No, I mean,
00:19:35she was smoking hot like boobies and breast titties.
00:19:40You name it, she got it, brother.
00:19:41Well, damn.
00:19:42We had a...
00:19:45Fuck.
00:19:46Yeah,
00:19:47didn't realize you pulled like that.
00:19:56Two marital sex and underage drinking.
00:20:00Oh!
00:20:04Wait, bring it in.
00:20:10You're twinkling like a dollar store ornament.
00:20:13What are you staring at, Herb?
00:20:16Arius?
00:20:17Your turn.
00:20:20He's probably still a virgin.
00:20:29Kiss her!
00:20:30Come on,
00:20:31rolls are rolls.
00:20:32Let's get this over with, Tiny Tim.
00:20:34What's the matter, Arius?
00:20:35Afraid of a little lip action?
00:20:36Maybe you'd rather kiss Julian.
00:20:40Julian?
00:20:41It's nothing like that.
00:20:42It better not be.
00:20:43He's mine.
00:20:44Even if he's a little confused about it right now.
00:20:48I'll just take the dare.
00:20:49Virgin!
00:20:52Fine.
00:20:55I dare you.
00:20:56Take off your shirt and jump in.
00:20:59Take it off.
00:21:00Take it off.
00:21:02Take it off.
00:21:03Take it off.
00:21:04Take it off.
00:21:07Take it off.
00:21:09Take it off.
00:21:10Take it off.
00:21:11Take it off.
00:21:12Take it off.
00:21:13Take it off.
00:21:13What, you're wearing a bikini under there?
00:21:15Whoa...
00:21:18Whoa!
00:21:51Yo, is she dead?
00:21:53Dude, come on, buddy, stay with me.
00:21:56Come on.
00:21:59Come on.
00:22:03He's never looked at me like that.
00:22:09Did you just kiss me?
00:22:13Did you just kiss me?
00:22:14You were breathing, bro.
00:22:16You could have just called 911.
00:22:17Oh, yeah, I wouldn't have gotten to save your sorry ass.
00:22:19Someone get these guys a room.
00:22:21Okay, Prince Charming, when do I get my mouth-to-mouth?
00:22:24What's wrong?
00:22:25Little make-out sash got you all hot and bothered?
00:22:30This guy, am I right?
00:22:31You're an asshole, bro.
00:22:34What did I do?
00:22:36Okay, seriously?
00:22:37What is with him and the new kid?
00:22:43You can't let Mason get to you.
00:22:45He's been under crazy pressure since he was three years old.
00:22:48His dad's in Olympia and his brother's at Harvard.
00:22:50He's just not meant for third place.
00:22:52Even if that's all he's ever gonna be.
00:22:54Still, that's no excuse to treat someone like shit.
00:22:56Why didn't you just take your shirt off?
00:23:01Because I skipped bicep day for three years straight.
00:23:08You're a weird dude, Arias.
00:23:10You train before sunrise, shower in the middle of the night.
00:23:13You flinch whenever anyone touches you.
00:23:16It's almost like you're hiding something.
00:23:19Are you?
00:23:34He can't find out that was me.
00:23:36I have to think of something.
00:23:38Quick.
00:23:39I'm hiding the fact that your hair looks terrible wet.
00:23:47You know, one of these days, you're gonna tell me what's really going on.
00:23:52I...
00:23:55Weirdest dude I've ever met.
00:23:59Deposit due.
00:24:01$20,000.
00:24:02Immediate payment required to continue treatment.
00:24:07Everything okay?
00:24:09Yeah, it's nothing.
00:24:11Family stuff.
00:24:20Hey, don't touch that!
00:24:22Why not?
00:24:23Shit, he's gonna find out who I am.
00:24:26Hey, don't touch that!
00:24:27Why not?
00:24:28Shit, he's gonna find out who I am.
00:24:31It's private.
00:24:32Shit, Arias, you and your girl don't know about phones?
00:24:34He thinks I'm carrying around a naked Polaroid of someone?
00:24:37No, it's nothing like that.
00:24:41Who is this?
00:24:44It's my sister.
00:24:45Dude.
00:24:48Dude, I know her.
00:24:51We met at a tournament last year.
00:24:53I took her to a party.
00:24:53I thought we had a connection, but I never saw her again.
00:24:57Yo.
00:24:58Could you give me her number?
00:25:00Really, Julian?
00:25:01You're gonna ask for my fake sister's number before you ask for mine?
00:25:04Yeah, 310-5555-604.
00:25:07310-5555-604?
00:25:09Mm.
00:25:10You know your sister's number by heart?
00:25:12Yeah.
00:25:12She's my emergency contact.
00:25:14All right.
00:25:16Texting her now.
00:25:19Please tell me he didn't just hear that.
00:25:28Must have been my email.
00:25:35She's already texting me back.
00:25:38This is crazy.
00:25:39She remembers me.
00:25:45This is officially the dumbest thing I've ever done.
00:26:02Dude, your sister's super cool.
00:26:04And funny.
00:26:06Yeah.
00:26:07What else?
00:26:09Smoking hot.
00:26:11Really?
00:26:13I mean, dude, seriously, that's my sister you're talking about.
00:26:17My bad.
00:26:23You think she'd go out with me?
00:26:25Oh my gosh.
00:26:26Did I just score a date with Julian Blake?
00:26:29Totally.
00:26:37You know, I want to make sure.
00:26:38You're cool with me dating your sister, right?
00:26:39Yes.
00:26:41I mean, yeah.
00:26:43Yeah, it's cool, bro.
00:26:44Hide for you, man.
00:26:46Don't get her pregnant.
00:26:52You're a weird dude, Arius.
00:26:55See ya.
00:27:04I'll be like, baby.
00:27:10I'm not going home.
00:27:11This is insane.
00:27:12Probably the most insane thing I've ever done.
00:27:19Should I really go on a date with Julian?
00:27:21Hell yes!
00:27:54Wow, you look, now you look, so do you, hi, Julian, hi.
00:28:21Whoa.
00:28:24He knows, he knows, he knows.
00:28:26What?
00:28:28What's wrong?
00:28:29Nothing, you just, you smell like really familiar.
00:28:34Oh.
00:28:34Uh.
00:28:36Oh.
00:28:37Yeah, it's just, you smell like exactly like your brother.
00:28:44Well, uh, maybe it's the same deodorant we buy in bulk from Costco.
00:28:54Can't beat that deal.
00:28:56You and Ari is close?
00:28:59I guess.
00:29:01He's pretty cool.
00:29:03We use the same Spotify premium sibling stuff.
00:29:09I mean, it's uncanny.
00:29:10It's like, it's the way you stand, it's the shape of your face.
00:29:13He's my big brother, so.
00:29:18Great!
00:29:19He thinks I smell like my fake twin brother.
00:29:21He's already connecting the dots.
00:29:23Come on, I want to show you something.
00:29:32You're telling me Arius was afraid of the dark till he was 12 years old?
00:29:35He would ask me to check for monsters under his bed every night.
00:29:39Same cue to face down half the fencing team without flinching.
00:29:43It's like I'm getting all the behind-the-scenes secrets.
00:29:48What about you?
00:29:51You have any secrets?
00:29:54You have any secrets?
00:29:58I...
00:30:00I'm pretty boring, actually.
00:30:02I don't think that's true.
00:30:04Our texts, you're funny, you're smart, you're sharp.
00:30:08You don't take any of my shit.
00:30:10It's refreshing.
00:30:16That night in my dorm, I thought we really had a connection.
00:30:22I was a little disappointed when you just left.
00:30:26I thought so, too.
00:30:28Then why not?
00:30:34I freaked out.
00:30:40I always end up here when I'm overwhelmed.
00:30:42My mom used to take me here.
00:30:45Clear my head after a match.
00:30:47You know, especially after a loss.
00:30:51Do you come here a lot?
00:30:55You know...
00:30:57It's my first time back.
00:30:59Since she died.
00:31:04I'm so sorry.
00:31:05I didn't mean to...
00:31:06Oh, Ari.
00:31:06It's okay.
00:31:07It's been a long time.
00:31:10I should be thinking about how risky this is.
00:31:13But all I can think about is how warm he feels.
00:31:29Oh my, here we go.
00:31:31Feels like we're on a roll.
00:31:34It's the summer of love in the city.
00:31:37We're chasing something great.
00:31:39Why don't we celebrate?
00:31:41It's the time of my life when you're with me.
00:31:45I like these nights with you.
00:31:49It's feeling like the start of something new.
00:31:57I don't want the night to end.
00:31:59Neither do I.
00:32:15I've seen that birthmark before.
00:32:18On your brother.
00:32:20Yeah.
00:32:38Wow.
00:32:41Your place?
00:32:59I've spent weeks in this room pretending to be someone I'm not.
00:33:02Now I'm here as me.
00:33:03And somehow it's even weirder.
00:33:06Hi.
00:33:07Let me know if I cross the line.
00:33:08That's fencing.
00:33:10You're supposed to.
00:33:15You can spend the night if you want.
00:33:17Your brother was super cool to give us this room.
00:33:20I should probably get back.
00:33:22Okay.
00:33:23I'll drive you home.
00:33:26My place is kind of far away though.
00:33:30Um.
00:33:30How about you?
00:33:32Drop me off at the train.
00:33:34What?
00:33:35Oh.
00:33:36I'm not taking you to a train station at night.
00:33:38Are you crazy?
00:33:41Julian.
00:33:42Now is like the worst time to be chivalrous.
00:33:44Maybe you can just drop me off at Queensfield.
00:33:46Oh.
00:33:48Dora in Queensfield for this hour.
00:33:50Yeah, sure.
00:33:51That's not far at all.
00:34:06I had a really nice time tonight.
00:34:08I'd love to see you again.
00:34:10I'd like that too.
00:34:18Oh my God.
00:34:20Who is that slut getting out of Julian's car?
00:34:27That loser, Ari Sherwood?
00:34:32I'm gonna kill her.
00:34:35She'll soon learn that no one touches Julian.
00:34:38He's mine.
00:34:40Did you guys break up like months ago?
00:34:44We were on a break!
00:34:50Hi.
00:34:51Just here to drop something off for Julian.
00:35:00I caught you, Ari Sherwood.
00:35:02What is Blair doing here?
00:35:04This can't be happening.
00:35:08What the hell are you doing, Ari?
00:35:15What are you staring at, Curb?
00:35:17Oh my gosh.
00:35:18You were actually trying to pass yourself off as a boy so you can go here.
00:35:21This is not what it looks like.
00:35:23Relax.
00:35:24I'm not gonna tell Julian.
00:35:26Yet.
00:35:27Whatever she's planning, it can't be good.
00:35:31Oh my gosh.
00:35:33You're so funny.
00:35:34Blair?
00:35:35What the hell are you doing here?
00:35:38Oh my gosh.
00:35:40You're so funny.
00:35:42Blair?
00:35:42What the hell are you doing here?
00:35:45Arius.
00:35:45Hey.
00:35:47Yes, Arius.
00:35:48I was just chatting with Arius.
00:35:50He's so funny.
00:35:52Huh.
00:35:54Okay.
00:35:55I'm gonna go back in our room now.
00:35:58Can I sleep over, Julian?
00:35:59You better say no, Julian.
00:36:01Blair, we broke up two months ago.
00:36:02I moved on.
00:36:03Moved on?
00:36:04To who, Pookie?
00:36:06It doesn't matter.
00:36:07Just not you.
00:36:08And don't call me that.
00:36:09I hated it when we were together.
00:36:12I know it's you.
00:36:13I saw you get out of his car.
00:36:15But, I'm not gonna tell Julian about your little ruse.
00:36:19Why?
00:36:20If he finds out, he may feel sorry for you.
00:36:24He might even...
00:36:26like you more.
00:36:30And I'm not letting that happen.
00:36:34You're gonna stay away from him.
00:36:37You're gonna stay away from him.
00:36:39No flirting.
00:36:40No coffee dates.
00:36:41No texting.
00:36:42I don't even want you sending him a TikTok.
00:36:44Because if I find Ari anywhere near him,
00:36:48every single person in the school will know exactly who you are.
00:36:52And you'll lose everything.
00:36:55Hmm.
00:36:56I heard your mom is sick.
00:36:59Right?
00:37:01We have done all the tests and the results have come back that we are dealing with cancer.
00:37:07Well, I'd hate for you to lose your only chance at the scholarship and the prize money.
00:37:14Do we have an understanding, Arius?
00:37:21Do we?
00:37:24Yes.
00:37:25Good!
00:37:27Toodles!
00:37:40Toodles!
00:37:41Julian!
00:37:42What's with the wandering eyes?
00:37:44Sorry, Kesh.
00:37:49I'm just gonna get some water.
00:37:53Yo.
00:37:55Have you heard from your sister?
00:37:58Yo.
00:37:59Have you heard from your sister?
00:38:01No, why?
00:38:03I just thought things were going well between us.
00:38:07Guess I was wrong.
00:38:17I really wish I didn't have to do this.
00:38:19But my mom's treatment is more important than a boy.
00:38:35Come on.
00:38:37Blair, I'm not in the mood.
00:38:38You look like you could use a distraction.
00:38:40We're taking a walk.
00:38:41I don't know.
00:38:42Are you gonna make me drag you the whole way?
00:38:46Fresh air could help you get out of this, um, funk.
00:38:52Fresh air could help you get out of this, um, funk.
00:38:58Hold on.
00:38:59You've got that dry lip thing.
00:39:00Blair, I'm good.
00:39:02I like taking care of you.
00:39:10Oh my gosh, Arius!
00:39:12I didn't realize you were standing right there.
00:39:15Don't his lips look so much better?
00:39:18Softer.
00:39:19Kissable, even.
00:39:20I guess I was wrong about Julian Blake.
00:39:23All of the rumors are true.
00:39:25He really is a player.
00:39:33All right, Arius.
00:39:34You're up against Julian next.
00:39:37If I can't have him,
00:39:38I guess I'll just have to beat him.
00:39:43If I can't have him,
00:39:44I guess I'll just have to beat him.
00:39:49LA!
00:39:56Coming at me like it's Nationalist.
00:39:58Arius, I love the fire.
00:39:59Keep that up.
00:40:00That's what I want to see.
00:40:09Point.
00:40:10Julian.
00:40:11What's going on, dude?
00:40:12You trying to kill me or something?
00:40:13Don't tell me you're afraid of a little competition.
00:40:16Afraid?
00:40:16Please.
00:40:17I just didn't realize we were playing for blood.
00:40:29Point.
00:40:31Julian.
00:40:38Are you okay?
00:40:45I'm fine!
00:40:53What are you sneaking off to, Shrimp?
00:40:55Not now, Mason.
00:40:56Oh, you think you're hot shit now?
00:40:58I was top two before you arrived.
00:41:00Let's see how well you do without your blade, huh?
00:41:08Put the stick down.
00:41:09Back off!
00:41:10Mason!
00:41:14Chill, Julian.
00:41:14What the fuck, bro?
00:41:16It's enough, dude.
00:41:16Lay off him.
00:41:18What is he?
00:41:19Your boyfriend now?
00:41:21You're going to braid each other's hair next?
00:41:25You do deserve each other.
00:41:30You do deserve each other.
00:41:39You think I wanted you to swoop in and save me?
00:41:41No, I think you have a death wish, picking fights with dudes twice your size.
00:41:44They started it!
00:41:46I don't need you protecting me.
00:41:47I can take care of myself.
00:41:48Arius, if this is about our scrimmage...
00:41:51I am trying my best, okay?
00:41:53I train.
00:41:54I don't sleep.
00:41:55I do everything right, and yet you still kicked my ass out there.
00:41:59I sure wouldn't.
00:42:01Everyone loses.
00:42:03Even me.
00:42:04Yeah, well, when you lose, you're still you.
00:42:08When I lose, I feel like everything I've been fighting for doesn't matter.
00:42:15You got more heart than anyone on this team.
00:42:20But you fence angry.
00:42:23You don't have to fight the world every time you pick up a sword.
00:42:31What am I doing here, Julian?
00:42:33You're proving that you belong.
00:42:37Which you do.
00:42:39Even if you don't believe it.
00:42:54Whatever, dude.
00:42:56Arius, if this is about your sister, I try, bro.
00:43:00I took her on an amazing date, and she told me she never wanted to see me again.
00:43:04Shit, if she texted me right now, I'd go out with her again.
00:43:08Even if it meant missing practice to do it.
00:43:12I don't know.
00:43:14I just want to see her again.
00:43:16Julian Blake, I would do almost anything to tell you the truth right now.
00:43:21But I can't.
00:43:25Is my nose bleeding?
00:43:27I think my nose is bleeding, so I'm going to go in the bathroom and check.
00:43:36Just go and tell him how you really feel, Ari.
00:43:39If he likes you, he'll understand.
00:43:44You can ask him to the formal dance tonight.
00:43:50Go up here.
00:43:51Dude.
00:43:55Surprise!
00:43:57Blair?
00:43:58What are you doing here?
00:44:00You're going to the formal, right?
00:44:01Because if you weren't, you're going now.
00:44:04Blair, I...
00:44:05Save it.
00:44:06I picked it myself.
00:44:07For a man who needs to dress like one.
00:44:10You really shouldn't have.
00:44:11Of course I did.
00:44:12Who else would save you from wearing another tragic flannel?
00:44:15Alright, we're going as friends.
00:44:16That's it.
00:44:17Just so we're clear.
00:44:19Jillian, there's something.
00:44:20Arius!
00:44:21Hey!
00:44:22Jillian just asked me to go to the formal with him.
00:44:24Well, not exactly.
00:44:25Are you going?
00:44:27I, uh...
00:44:28Well, if I'm going, he's coming with me.
00:44:30My wingman.
00:44:32I'd really rather love.
00:44:34A chaperone date.
00:44:43He couldn't wait to move on, could he?
00:44:46Right back to Blair.
00:44:48Hey, Jillian.
00:44:50Come on.
00:44:51Let's dance.
00:44:52Where?
00:44:52Don't make me ask twice.
00:45:00You're kind of cute.
00:45:02Want to dance?
00:45:04Uh, I'm doing things.
00:45:06That wasn't a question.
00:45:14Miss Mia?
00:45:17Miss Mia?
00:45:20Jillian, you're so handsome.
00:45:23Really, Blair.
00:45:24You had to rub it in my face.
00:45:25Blair, what is this?
00:45:27Just remembering what it feels like to be close to you.
00:45:29Blair, how many times do I have to tell you?
00:45:31There's nothing between us.
00:45:32What the hell are you talking about, Jillian?
00:45:34We belong together.
00:45:36My heart belongs to someone else.
00:45:41Ari.
00:45:42Wait, really?
00:45:44That dollar men you reject?
00:45:46What could you possibly see in her?
00:45:48I've never met anyone like her.
00:45:50I don't even know her that well.
00:45:53But I know there's something between us.
00:45:54And I'd be an idiot not to try and get her back.
00:45:58Jillian, you're making it really hard to hate you right now.
00:46:01Guess I know where I stand.
00:46:03I guess I do too.
00:46:11I can't let Jillian walk away thinking it's over.
00:46:14Not tonight.
00:46:29Wait for me, Jillian.
00:46:35Great.
00:46:36I blew it.
00:46:43Ari?
00:46:45What are you doing here?
00:46:46I, um, was picking up Arius.
00:46:50Yeah, you did seem pretty miserable out there.
00:46:53Hey, I'm sorry I've been ghosting you the past couple of days.
00:46:57I can't, I can't explain it right now, but...
00:47:00Soon, Jillian, I promise.
00:47:02We can really be together.
00:47:06Why not now?
00:47:09Because...
00:47:23I can wait.
00:47:29Nicky, was it?
00:47:31Mason.
00:47:32Right.
00:47:32Your new teammate Arius, he's not what you think.
00:47:36Arius, what about him?
00:47:38He's...
00:47:38Ico.
00:47:39And she's taking Jillian from me.
00:47:41I want her out of the fencing competition.
00:47:43She's a girl?
00:47:46You're kidding.
00:47:50So wait.
00:47:51All this time...
00:47:53I've been losing to a girl?
00:47:55This isn't about your prime, Annie.
00:47:56Mason.
00:47:59Mason.
00:47:59We get her kicked off with a team.
00:48:01She's disqualified from tryouts.
00:48:03You get your ranking back.
00:48:05And Jillian's little distraction problem goes away.
00:48:10How do we do it?
00:48:12Oh.
00:48:13Leave that to me.
00:48:18This is his.
00:48:19Purse.
00:48:20Whatever.
00:48:31Got it.
00:48:33So now we go to the Dean?
00:48:36We're not just going to the Dean.
00:48:38First, we need to make it official.
00:48:40Formal complaint.
00:48:42Signatures.
00:48:43The whole ordeal.
00:48:45Then, we expose her in front of everyone.
00:48:48You mean like...
00:48:49A show!
00:48:50A takedown!
00:48:52Tomorrow, 8 a.m.
00:48:54Don't be late.
00:48:56I can do that.
00:48:57Good boy.
00:49:00Good boy.
00:49:00I can't do that.
00:49:16I can do it.
00:49:17Good boy.
00:49:18Good boy.
00:49:20I can do that.
00:49:23Good boy.
00:49:37Oh fuck
00:49:42Hey boys
00:49:46Blair, please do not interrupt my practice
00:49:49Whatever you got going on with Julian, keep it off the strip
00:49:52Oh, I'm not here for Julian
00:49:55What is she doing?
00:49:56I thought we had a deal
00:49:58Hey Arias
00:50:03No, no, no, no, no, no
00:50:13Or should I say Ari?
00:50:16She's been lying to all of you
00:50:18She's not even the guy
00:50:19Her name is Ari Sherwood from Queensfield
00:50:22You can't push the entire team
00:50:24You like a bitch
00:50:26From bro to hoe in three seconds flat
00:50:29Arias Sherwood
00:50:31This is a very serious breach of school policy
00:50:38Misrepresentation of identity
00:50:40Falsified enrollment documents
00:50:41Section 3A subsection 7
00:50:45Ring any bells?
00:50:46You might want to brush up on the Kingsfield student athlete compliance handbook sometime
00:50:52Rules exist for a reason
00:50:55Once we start bending them, we might as well not have them at all
00:50:59You are not a boy, correct?
00:51:01Does that look like a boy to you?
00:51:04He's got titties, Dean Brown
00:51:06Effective immediately, you are placed on at-home suspension
00:51:09Pending review by the disciplinary board
00:51:17What's going on?
00:51:18Talk to me
00:51:20I'm not who I said I was
00:51:21I'm sorry
00:51:29All right
00:51:31Show's over
00:51:32Get the showers
00:51:41Dean Brown
00:51:43What's going to happen to Ari?
00:51:44Tell me, please
00:51:45Mr. Blake
00:51:46This is an internal matter
00:51:48I can't discuss active disciplinary cases
00:51:52She's my teammate
00:51:55A formal complaint was filed against Arias
00:51:59A formal complaint?
00:52:00Filed by who?
00:52:03Blair Ryland
00:52:04Of Queensfield Academy
00:52:06One of your teammates
00:52:07Co-signed
00:52:08Afraid I can't do anything about it
00:52:10So you just what?
00:52:11Suspended her?
00:52:12Procedurally, yes
00:52:13Pending review by the board
00:52:15Trust me
00:52:16I don't enjoy this sort of thing
00:52:19Actually, I do enjoy it
00:52:22Rules are my love language
00:52:34I don't know what to do, Mom
00:52:38If we don't get you that money
00:52:39How else will we pay?
00:52:42Ari
00:52:45Whatever happens
00:52:47It's going to be okay
00:52:48No, it's not going to be okay, Mom
00:52:50We need to get you that treatment
00:52:55You need to focus on yourself
00:52:57I'll be okay
00:53:03Look at me
00:53:13I'm proud of you
00:53:18No matter what happens
00:53:25Ms. Sherwood, you have a visitor
00:53:31Julian?
00:53:35Julian?
00:53:39How did you find me?
00:53:40I remember what you said about your mom
00:53:42This was the first hospital I called
00:53:44My mom was here, too
00:53:47I didn't know Ari had a boyfriend
00:53:52And a very handsome one, too
00:53:55He's not my boyfriend
00:53:57It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Sherwood
00:54:01Aren't you mad?
00:54:04About me lying
00:54:05About everything
00:54:09Ms. Sherwood, would you mind excusing us for a minute?
00:54:13Of course
00:54:30I didn't know what to think at first
00:54:35But
00:54:36After the initial shock wore off
00:54:37And after the secondary shock wore off
00:54:41It dawned on me
00:54:46If my mom were still alive
00:54:50I would do
00:54:52Anything
00:54:54To save her
00:54:59So no, I'm not mad about the light
00:55:04Because we can still save yours
00:55:12I love you, Julian
00:55:15Did I just say that out loud?
00:55:18Sorry, what?
00:55:20Nothing
00:55:25We're gonna have to make some changes
00:55:27Coach
00:55:29I'll call you back
00:55:31What is it, Julian?
00:55:32You have to let Ari back on the team
00:55:36It's not up to me, son
00:55:40She's the best fencer we have
00:55:43I know
00:55:47We can't just ignore this
00:55:49Ari Sherwood competing under false pretenses
00:55:52This is grounds for expulsion
00:55:56Coach
00:55:57Julian
00:55:57This is a closed meeting
00:55:59And you need to reopen it
00:56:01Because you're talking about one of my fencers
00:56:08Julian
00:56:08Go ahead
00:56:11With all due respect
00:56:13The Blade doesn't care who's wielding it
00:56:16If Ari can fence with the boys and win
00:56:18She needs to be on that strip
00:56:21We'll take that into consideration
00:56:22Furthermore
00:56:24There's nothing in the student-athlete compliance handbook
00:56:27That says that Ari needs to be a male to compete
00:56:32You actually read the handbook?
00:56:35Cover to cover
00:56:35Sir
00:56:37Well
00:56:39Technically
00:56:40That's true
00:56:41But I just
00:56:43But
00:56:43Nothing
00:56:46You better win, son
00:56:48I want a new trophy for the cupboard
00:56:51We will
00:56:52And thank you
00:56:54Sir
00:56:55I can't believe someone actually read the handbook
