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.

00:09:05Oh god, lavender, vanilla?
00:09:07Stupid.
00:09:07Yeah, uh, I must have packed my sister's pipe with steak.
00:09:13Arias!
00:09:14Wait till it's late enough so you can cry in the shower?
00:09:17What are you two doing here?
00:09:18Oh, I already saw Arias ducking into the bathroom.
00:09:21I thought we'd find out if the new kid's got a sword and a butter knife.
00:09:24Maybe I'll just skip showering for the rest of the year.
00:09:30Don't!
00:09:39Am I tripping or is there a girl in the boy's bathroom?
00:09:43Nope, it 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 makes me quicker on the fencing strip.
00:09:52Ah, bro's rocking a toddler-sized lightsaber over 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, right?
00:10:06Oh!
00:10:08Watch yourself, Arias.
00:10:09You might be his type.
00:10:10Shut the fuck up, dude.
00:10:13All right, all right.
00:10:17Next time, I 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.
00:10:36He's still no luck.
00:10:37Thinking of selling the car,
00:10:39it 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!
00:11:00Arias, don't tell me you came unprepared on your first official day.
00:11:04Where's your glove?
00:11:05Sir, 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.
00:11:35Okay.
00:11:36Okay.
00:11:37Okay.
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, Julian 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 that 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.
00:12:20Yes, sir.
00:12:21Oh, yay.
00:12:23I mean, uh,
00:12:25sick or whatever.

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, you 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?
00:13:29Practicing to beat you.
00:13:31Shit, man.
00:13:31You're intense.
00:13:36Hey, uh,
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 I met someone at regionals.
00:14:43Fast, like 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, honestly.
00:15:02The only thing is, um,
00:15:04that person was a girl.
00:15:09That person was a girl.
00:15:12Ha, ha, ha,
00:15:14ha,
00:15:15wrong person, bro.
00:15:17Definitely not a girl.
00:15:19All right.
00:15:20Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:15:23Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:15:24A hundred percent.
00:15:25A dude.
00:15:31All right, Arias.
00:15:35Catch you later, number.
00:15:37Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:15:41Maybe I should have just told him.
00:15:43No, I'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.
00:16:05Okay, breathe.
00:16:07He's just walking
00:16:09toward you.
00:16:11Totally normal.
00:16:16Oh, God.
00:16:17Is he about to make a move?
00:16:22What are you doing, dude?
00:16:25You're standing in front of my deodorant.
00:16:28Right.
00:16:29Yeah.
00:16:30No problem.
00:16:37See you at practice, Arias.
00:16:48Ah, you think a couple extra hours
00:16:50is going to make you anything
00:16:51but a Happy Meal toy?
00:16:54Hey.
00:16:55I'm talking to you, shrimp.
00:16:58What's that?
00:17:16What the fuck, bro?
00:17:17You're defending the shrimp?
00:17:18Yeah.
00:17:19Toothpick here thinks he 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.
00:17:24I don't like to talk to him.
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're a threat?
00:17:47I guess I am.
00:17:49Don't sell yourself short, shrimp.
00:17:51You've got skills.
00:17:52Hey, uh, there'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, it's a pool party.
00:18:03Bring trucks.
00:18:05Did you just say pool party?
00:18:09A pool party?
00:18:11As Arias, this is a terrible idea.
00:18:15On the other hand, Julian 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.
00:18:47I don't know.
00:18:48Dude, have you ever heard a knocking?
00:18:50I'm sorry, man.
00:18:51I thought you were at the library.
00:18:58Sup.
00:19:00Sup.
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 Cirque du Soleil on my shit.
00:19:14Shit, a gymnast?
00:19:16Hot 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, soft?
00:19:27She was soft?
00:19:27I mean, beautiful.
00:19:30Like, emotionally beautiful.
00:19:32Shit, Arias write poetry now.
00:19:34No.
00:19:35I mean, she was smoking hot like boobies and breasts, 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, didn't realize you pulled like that.
00:20:13What are you staring at, Herb?
00:20:16Arias, your turn.
00:20:20He's probably still a virgin.
00:20:29Kiss her.
00:20:30Come on, rolls are rolls.
00:20:32Let's get this over with, Tiny Tim.
00:20:34What's the matter, Arias?
00:20:35Afraid of a little lip action?
00:20:37Maybe you'd rather kiss Julian.
00:20:40Julian?
00:20:40It'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.
00:21:05Take it off.
00:21:10Take it off.
00:21:11Take it off.
00:21:12Take it off.
00:21:13What?
00:21:14You're wearing a bikini under there?
00:21:16Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:21:18Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:21:21Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:21:23Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:21:34Oh, ho, ho.
00:21:35Oh, ho, ho.
00:21:36Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:21:37Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:21:53Come on buddy, stay with me.
00:21:55Come on.
00:21:59Come on.
00:22:03He's never looked at me like that.
00:22:10Did you just kiss me?
00:22:13Did you just kiss me?
00:22:15You 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, little make out sash got you all hot and bothered?
00:22:29This guy, am I right?
00:22:31You're an asshole bro.
00:22:34What did I do?
00:22:35Okay, 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 an Olympian, his brother's at Harvard.
00:22:50He's just not meant for third place, even if that's all he's ever going to be.
00:22:54Still, that's no excuse to treat someone like shit.
00:22:56Why didn't you just take your shirt off?
00:23:02Because I skipped bicep day for three years straight in.
00:23:08You're a weird dude, Arius.
00:23:10You train before sunrise, shower in the middle of the night, you flinch whenever anyone touches you.
00:23:15It's almost like you're hiding something.
00:23:18Are you?
00:23:22It's almost like you're hiding something.
00:23:26Are you?
00:23:34He can't find out that was me.
00:23:36I have to think of something quick.
00:23:39I'm hiding the fact that your hair looks terrible wet.
00:23:48You know, one of these days, you're going to tell me what's really going on.
00:23:53I...
00:23:55Weirdest dude I've ever met.
00:23:59I don't know.
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 going to find out who I am.
00:24:26Hey, don't touch that!
00:24:27Why not?
00:24:28Shit, he's going to find out who I am.
00:24:31It's private.
00:24:31Shit, Arius.
00:24:32You 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.
00:24:42Who is this?
00:24:44It's my sister.
00:24:46Dude.
00:24:48I know her.
00:24:51We met at a tournament last year.
00:24:53I took her to a party.
00:24:54I thought we had a connection, but I never saw her again.
00:24:58Yo, could you give me her number?
00:25:00Really, Julian?
00:25:01You're going to ask for my fake sister's number before you ask for mine?
00:25:04Yeah, 310-5555-604.
00:25:07310-5555-604?
00:25:09You know your sister's number by heart?
00:25:12Yeah, she's my emergency contact.
00:25:14All right, texting 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, she remembers me.
00:25:45This is officially the dumbest thing I've ever done.
00:26:02Dude, your sister's super cool and funny.
00:26:07Yeah, what else?
00:26:09Smoking hot.
00:26:11Really?
00:26:13I mean, dude, seriously, that's my sister you're talking about.

00:59:48I plan on taking the championship.
00:59:50Good, that means I'll actually have to try.
00:59:55I appreciate everything you've done for me.
01:00:07After tomorrow.
01:00:10Yeah, after tomorrow.
01:00:14It's gonna be hard sleeping next to you tonight, Lil.
01:00:16Better stay in your own bed.
01:00:18Don't sabotage me like this, Sherwood.
01:00:20How could I possibly resist thee, Julian Blake?
01:00:27Good luck tomorrow.
01:00:29You too, Julian.
01:00:51Ugh, why does it have to be so hot?
01:00:56What?
01:00:58Never seen your roommate naked?
01:01:00Uh-huh.
01:01:03Alright.
01:01:07I have never been more proud of someone.
01:01:20Tomorrow.
01:01:24Tomorrow.
01:01:29Ladies and gentlemen, for the national championship, representing Kingsfield Academy, Ari Sherwood, and Julian Blake!
01:01:43In the 103-year history of this tournament, a girl who has never competed in the boys' championship, let alone
01:01:53stood one victory away from winning it all.
01:01:57Bring it on, Shrimp.
01:01:59Don't let me beat you.
01:02:00I've been waiting for this moment to kick your ass.
01:02:14The championship will be decided in three bouts.
01:02:17The first to score two points wins the title.
01:02:21En garde.
01:02:23Prate.
01:02:24Alec.
01:02:33First bout, Sherwood.
01:02:47Second bout, Lec.
01:02:48Second bout, Lec.
01:03:01Damn, he's passed.
01:03:05Our final bout to decide the championship, $100,000, and the full scholarship to Stanford University.
01:03:15En garde, prete, allez!
01:03:45It's a tie! In 103 years of this tournament, we have never seen anything like this.
01:03:52But a tie is a tie, which means our co-champions of Kingsdale's Academy is Ari Sherwood and Julian Blake.
01:04:15This is why we don't have girls in this tournament, gentlemen.
01:04:18Will you please shut up?
01:04:22Out with tradition, fellas.
01:04:25Sherwood, wait! Sherwood, wait! Sherwood, wait! Sherwood, wait!
01:04:32So, what happens now?
01:04:39In the case of co-champions, the prizes are shared, which means Ari Sherwood and Julian Blake will receive full
01:04:49scholarships to Stanford University, and they will split the $100,000 prize.
01:04:55What? No! No! No!
01:04:59This is bullshit! That's supposed to be me, Julian!
01:05:07Stanford. Me.
01:05:09Not split.
01:05:11What do you mean?
01:05:12Every cent of that money is going to your mother's tree.
01:05:16Julian, you can.
01:05:16I can. And I will.
01:05:26I always thought being invisible would keep me safe.
01:05:30But if you step out, be yourself, and do what you love, you might just get what you want.
01:05:38I can.
01:05:49So, I'll see you at Stanford, then?
01:05:52Guess so.
01:06:01I love you, Ari Sherwood.
01:06:04I love you, Julian Blake.
01:06:13You know, we don't have to be out of the dorms till tomorrow.
01:06:18Hmm.
01:06:19Hmm.
01:06:19You call me, no, no, no, no, No.
