00:00:01Paper Hearts, my app where lazy students get A's and I get paid.
00:00:07Essays, homework, research, you name it.
00:00:13As 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?
00:00:45I don't know what you're talking about.
00:00:48Really?
00:00:50Well, school does.
00:00:52Whoever's behind Paper Hearts, we're on to them.
00:00:56Once caught, it won't just be expulsion.
00:01:00Users will face consequences, too.
00:01:13Chapters four and five are tomorrow.
00:01:21Yeah.
00:01:25I know your secret.
00:01:33You're Paper Hearts, aren't you?
00:01:39Your words, they're art.
00:01:44Hey, don't worry.
00:01:47Your secret's safe with me.
00:01:55But I can't hold back anymore.
00:02:02This is all I've ever wanted.
00:02:09Oh, sorry.
00:02:19You okay?
00:02:25What were you thinking about?
00:02:28Nothing.
00:02:29Okay.
00:02:30Okay.
00:02:31I'm Brad.
00:02:36Mia.
00:02:37Great to meet you.
00:02:40Um, I actually wanted to ask you for a favor.
00:02:43No.
00:02:45Why?
00:02:45You don't even know what it is.
00:02:46Is it?
00:02:46Yeah, but if you're asking, then it's trouble.
00:02:49Well, it's actually something kind of personal.
00:02:51I need a...
00:02:53a love letter.
00:02:56Good one.
00:02:58Look, I know your Paper Hearts.
00:03:00Right?
00:03:02Hey, what's that?
00:03:03Hey, I got a chain.
00:03:04Hey, just take it easy, man.
00:03:06Just hold on.
00:03:07I gotta...
00:03:08I gotta change.
00:03:13Are you insane?
00:03:16Say not in front of everyone?
00:03:19Relax.
00:03:21I haven't told anybody anything yet.
00:03:24Well, did you hit your head too hard at practice
00:03:26and start imagining things?
00:03:28No, you left your laptop open and I saw everything.
00:03:33Idiot.
00:03:33Listen, I'm not here to expose you or anything.
00:03:37I want to hire you.
00:03:40Then why don't you use the app like everyone else?
00:03:42Well, because it's not for a school assignment or anything like that.
00:03:46It's...
00:03:47something personal.
00:03:49You know...
00:03:50Chloe Hartwell?
00:03:53I'm the only girl in school who actually writes her own essays?
00:03:56I need your help in writing her a letter.
00:04:01Actually, it's a...
00:04:03a love letter.
00:04:06So you did hit your head.
00:04:08Oh.
00:04:09Look, I'm not trying to blackmail you or anything.
00:04:10I need your help, okay?
00:04:12You keep your secret.
00:04:13I get what I want.
00:04:14Everybody wins.
00:04:16That's literally the definition of blackmail, you moron.
00:04:20The school is on to me.
00:04:22If he talks, it's over.
00:04:24No college, no future.
00:04:26I'll double your rate.
00:04:30What?
00:04:31I'll pay you.
00:04:33Listen, this is really...
00:04:36important to me, so...
00:04:38name your price.
00:04:40No.
00:04:41Hey, come on, you can't leave me here.
00:04:43Name the...
00:04:44girls' bathroom.
00:04:45Hey!
00:05:06Miss Brooks.
00:05:09We need to talk.
00:05:12Your mother's treatment.
00:05:14Insurance won't cover the next phase.
00:05:17Without payments...
00:05:18I'm getting money.
00:05:20Okay, but we don't have much time.
00:05:34It's easy.
00:05:37It's easy.
00:05:42It's easy.
00:05:43It's easy.
00:05:45It's easy.
00:05:46It's easy.
00:05:48It's easy.
00:05:49To make this out.
00:05:50Well, you have to look at your face.
00:05:51All 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.
00:06:17But under one condition.
00:06:25Who even writes love letters anymore?
00:06:27You're not 12.
00:06:28Yeah, well, Chloe's a different kind of girl.
00:06:30She likes to read books, and she's a writer, and she's in a very romantic thing, so...
00:06:35I don't want to just go over to her like she's any other girl.
00:06:39I want to impress her.
00:06:41Aren't you dating Samantha?
00:06:50No.
00:06:52That was just a room.
00:06:53Trust me, we were never really a thing.
00:06:56So...
00:06:58Will you do this for me?
00:07:03All right.
00:07:04All right, show me what you wrote.
00:07:14All right.
00:07:18Hey, Chloe.
00:07:20I think you're really cool.
00:07:22Not just regular cool, but...
00:07:25But cool.
00:07:28You make me feel weird.
00:07:31Not bad weird.
00:07:33Good weird.
00:07:35Like when I score a basket, and people cheer, but...
00:07:38Also, like when I eat too many tacos, and my stomach gets all twisty.
00:07:44Rad.
00:07:46That's not bad.
00:07:47That's pretty good.
00:07:49Yeah, you obviously need my...
00:07:52Okay.
00:07:53But I need something in return.
00:07:56Listen, Mia.
00:07:57You're a really cool girl.
00:07:58I just don't see you like that, okay?
00:08:00I need you to help me get with...
00:08:02Dan.
00:08:07Dan.
00:08:09Big bad Dan.
00:08:11Yes.
00:08:12Dan, shut up.
00:08:13You're joking.
00:08:14You're not joking.
00:08:16Okay?
00:08:17If that's what you want to do, you got yourself a deal.
00:08:25Okay, now.
00:08:31Flattery.
00:08:32Metaphors.
00:08:33A little poetic flair.
00:08:35Easy.
00:08:36Making it sound like Brad actually wrote it?
00:08:39Nearly impossible.
00:08:44Oh, this is gold.
00:08:47Chloe, you're the kind of story I told you she was a total lesbo.
00:08:51Samantha, give it back.
00:08:53Samantha.
00:08:54Give it back.
00:08:56Give it back.
00:08:57Give it back, Chloe.
00:09:01You stupid, clumsy bitch.
00:09:05Samantha!
00:09:06Oh, yeah.
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.
00:09:28You know, you know, 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.
00:09:37Don'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.
00:09:44Come on, you're welcome.
00:09:47Hey, ladies.
00:09:50Oh, my God.
00:09:54All right, let's go on.
00:09:56Whoa, Brad.
00:09:58Close now.
00:09:59Sorry, uh, Samantha was knocking on the door and, uh...
00:10:02I...
00:10:02I...
00:10:02This wasn't...
00:10:03Enough.
00:10:04To the principal's office, all of you.
00:10:07Get some clothes on.
00:10:09Will do.
00:10:09Thank you, sir.
00:10:12Hey, they're gone.
00:10:13You 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.
00:10:28How do you have zero shame?
00:10:30It's a blessing and a curse.
00:10:32Hmm.
00:10:34I think Chloe would appreciate you bearing it all.
00:10:38Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:39Don't.
00:10:40Relax, jeez.
00:10:41I'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?
00:11:02Well, 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 tap her nose and...
00:11:15I don't know.
00:11:16It's like, I don't even think she knows she's doing it, but...
00:11:20I can work with that.
00:11:27Awesome.
00:11:27It's like...
00:11:28Like the...
00:11:29Oh...
00:11:35We...
00:11:40We...
00:11:42We...
00:11:42We...
00:11:43We...
00:11:45We...
00:11:47We...
00:11:50We...
00:11:52I'm going to go.
00:12:07I'm going to go.
00:12:08Here's the question.
00:12:14Mia!
00:12:17You did it!
00:12:19You did it!
00:12:20Oh!
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.
00:12:30Wait, whoa, pump 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.
00:12:39Oh, 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.
00:12:50You'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.
00:12:59I 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.
00:13:47No, please 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.
00:13:55We'll make her shine.
00:13:56Oh, nice.
00:13:57Okay.
00:13:57Well, I'll see you at the party.
00:13:59Brad, don't leave me.
00:14:00Have 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.
00:14:09Yes.
00:14:30That's it.
00:14:31That's the one.
00:14:32Come on.
00:14:35Thanks, guys.
00:14:38Thanks.
00:14:50Deskrat.
00:14:52You almost fooled me for a second.
00:14:54But I see you right through your pathetic little disguise.
00:14:57I 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.
00:15:21No, stop.
00:15:22Stop.
00:15:23Samantha.
00:15:23Open the door.
00:15:25No fall for you, Cinderella.
00:15:28Stop.
00:15:44Hey, Mom.
00:15:46Is everything okay?
00:15:47The doctor said you stopped by.
00:15:50I didn't want to wake you.
00:15:52I didn't want to wake you.
00:15:52Next time.
00:15:53Wake me.
00:15:56Sweetie, what's wrong?
00:15:58Nothing.
00:15:58Um, you know, just high school can be a lot sometimes.
00:16:03You 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 the soul, neither was your father, but you.
00:16:14You don't break.
00:16:16That's your gift, baby.
00:16:18And no one can take that from you.
00:16:20So whatever's got you down, you'll figure it out.
00:16:24You always do.
00:16:26Yeah, you're right.
00:16:27I will.
00:16:30I love you, Mom.
00:16:39My plan.
00:16:41I love you.
00:16:50My plan.
00:16:56He doesn't want to practice on the floor.
00:17:00He doesn't want to make any sense to each other..
00:17:00I don't call them anything.
00:17:15Come on, Mia, where are you?
00:17:17Miss me?
00:17:18No.

00:17:38You brat?
00:17:40Yeah.

00:17:42I had to get creative.
00:17:44Wow, look at you.

00:19:43Okay.
00:19:50Okay.
00:19:53Bye.
00:19:55Cops.
00:19:55What?
00:19:56Shit.
00:19:57Cops?

00:20:06We gotta go.
00:20:07We're here.
00:20:08Here, we're going out the window.
00:20:09Out the window?
00:20:10I don't know about that.
00:20:12Yeah.
00:20:14All right, come on.
00:20:14I'm going to need you to run a little faster.
00:20:16You run faster.
00:20:17I lost my shoe.
00:20:18Okay, hop on.
00:20:19Hop on.
00:20:19Let's go.
00:20:21Are you okay?
00:20:22Come on.
00:20:22I kissed her, sir.
00:20:25I wasn't the best out of my life.
00:20:26Hold on, you maniac.
00:20:28You're a hero.
00:20:29Yeah, thank you.
00:20:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:31Sure.
00:20:31Bye.
00:20:32Bye.
00:20:33Bye.
00:20:34Bye.
00:20:34Bye.
00:20:34Bye.
00:20:35Bye.
00:20:36Bye.
00:20:36Bye.
00:20:51Why can't I feel my teeth?
00:20:55Congratulations, your very first hangover.
00:20:57What are you doing in my room?
00:20:59And why are you shirtless?
00:21:01Oh, my God.
00:21:02Relax.
00:21:04You know, I carried your drunken ass back from the dorms last night, and I figured somebody
00:21:09should look after you.
00:21:11The floor was pretty comfortable.
00:21:16That's from...
00:21:17That's from Chloe, right?
00:21:19Yeah.
00:21:20What does it say?
00:21:25Brad?
00:21:26I don't know.
00:21:27I'm...
00:21:29I'm nervous.
00:21:31I can't get myself to open it.
00:21:33I...
00:21:33What if she thinks I'm lame?
00:21:36You're Brad Sterling.
00:21:38You don't run away from a letter.
00:21:41Yeah.
00:21:42Right?
00:21:42Come on.
00:21:51Hello, stranger.
00:21:53No one's ever written to me like that before.
00:21:57It's very romantic.
00:22:00My favorite book is The Night Circus, and I'd love to know yours.
00:22:06See?
00:22:08Wow.
00:22:09She doesn't hate me.
00:22:11Yeah.
00:22:12This is great.
00:22:13So, so what do I do?
00:22:14Do I...
00:22:15Do I ask her out?
00:22:17What?
00:22:18No.
00:22:19No, no, no, no.
00:22:20Uh...
00:22:21We...
00:22:22We need to write back first.
00:22:23Obviously.
00:22:25Uh...
00:22:25What's your favorite book?
00:22:27Favorite book.
00:22:28I don't know.
00:22:30Shrek?
00:22:31Brad, that's a movie.
00:22:33There's a book.
00:22:34There's a book.
00:22:36You're a walking tragedy.
00:22:38We're going to the library.
00:22:40Mia.
00:22:41A word.
00:22:48A word.
00:22:50The principal wants to see you in his office.
00:22:55Okay.
00:23:08You wanted to see me?
00:23:10We're investigating an academic fraud ring, Paper Hearts.
00:23:14Know anything about it?
00:23:16Nope.
00:23:17Well, we traced the phone number late to the app.
00:23:19We're about to call it.
00:23:21I'm giving you one chance to tell me the truth before we do.
00:23:26Uh...
00:23:26I...
00:23:27I don't know anything about it.
00:23:29Hmm.
00:23:53She's not involved.
00:23:55I've known me a long time.
00:23:57She's a diligent and honest student.
00:24:00Well, if you hear anything, we expect your cooperation.
00:24:05Of course.
00:24:16Hey.
00:24:17Back from the principal's office.
00:24:19Yep.
00:24:20Uh, what was that about?
00:24:22I have to shut it down.
00:24:24Shut...
00:24:24Shut what down?
00:24:26Paper hearts.
00:24:28They're onto me.
00:24:29If I get caught, I'm done.
00:24:30Well, hey, don't worry about it.
00:24:32Look, it's going to be okay.
00:24:34I'm sure you're going to survive without scamming the school out of half of its lunch money.
00:24:39What did you just say?
00:24:41Nothing.
00:24:42Nothing.
00:24:43Listen, it's just like pocket change.
00:24:44It's going to be okay.
00:24:47You know, you know nothing about real life.
00:24:50Since the day you were born, you've just been shielded by daddy's money.
00:24:54So, write your own stupid letters from now on.
00:24:56Mia, what the...
00:24:58Mia!
00:25:12The last payment didn't go through.
00:25:15I...
00:25:16I can't work right now.
00:25:18I just need a little time.
00:25:19We've got a week, maybe less, before they cut off her treatment.
00:25:24I'll figure it out.
00:25:37I'm not dumb enough to link my real phone to the app.
00:25:41Even if they're onto me.
00:25:44I don't have a choice.
00:25:47I don't have a choice.
00:25:51I don't have a choice.
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.
00:26:27The night's young.
00:26:28It's night, we run these streets.
00:26:31Let's go.
00:26:39Did you ever hear about how dolphins are like wet dogs?
00:26:46What?
00:26:48I read about it online.
00:26:50And it kind of like makes you think.
00:26:55Yeah, yeah.
00:27:00Oh, hey, watch this.
00:27:16It's all right, not the next one.
00:27:17Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:18Right, right, right.
00:27:21Oh, okay.
00:27:23Woo!
00:27:24Yeah, all right, look at that.
00:27:28For my lady.
00:27:33Hey, can we get ice cream, too, 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, are 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.
00:28:01Oh, yeah, Samantha's got this project.
00:28:04I'll be right back.
00:28:05Just, yeah, let's go.
00:28:13That's five bucks for the ice creams.
00:28:27Hey.
00:28:33Mia.
00:28:34Mia.
00:28:39Mia.
00:28:48Mia.
00:29:00Mia.
00:29:04Mia.
00:29:04Mia.
00:29:05Mia.
00:29:11She's the same.
00:29:13Mia.
00:29:15Mia.
00:29:15Mia.
00:29:16Mia.
00:29:17Mia.
00:29:18Mia.
00:29:18Mia.
00:29:23Mia.
00:29:24Mia.
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.
00:29:47Well, at least I tried to write it.
00:29:50Let's see it.
00:30:09It's not terrible.
00:30:12You 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.
00:31:02Well, that one's perfect for you.
00:31:07Isn'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?
00:31:17Because you're always chasing your green light.
00:31:24Hey.
00:31:26There you are.
00:31:27I'm looking for you.
00:31:30Well, that's my cue.
00:31:32For real.
00:31:47Hey.
00:31:51Hmm.
00:31:53I've been thinking about you.
00:31:54Really?
00:31:56Must be hard with Samantha's tongue so far down your throat.
00:31:59What?
00:32:01Hey, babe, 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.
00:32:44Yeah.
00:32:46Anything else?
00:32:48Uh, what?
00:32:50You, like, trying to confuse me?
00:32:52Okay, wait.
00:32:55You're beautiful.
00:32:56Oh, you already said that.
00:33:00Babe, what?
00:33:09You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:33:14You 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.
00:33:26I was just gonna see her head on.
00:33:31Come on down.
00:33:33Come on!
00:33:38Come on!
00:33:48Come on.
00:33:50Come on.
00:33:51Come on.
00:33:53Come on.
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! No, that's not how this works. You 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?
00:34:22Are you sure you put the litter in her locker?
00:34:25Yes.
00:34:26Right, I'm sure.
00:34:34Look who's back. Desk Rot herself.
00:34:38What's in the bag, Rot?
00:34:39Another tragic hoodie or did Goodwill finally cut you off?
00:34:44Stop.
00:34:45Give it, give it back.
00:34:49Let's see.
00:34:57My dearest Chloe. Oh my God, no wonder you're a virgin. Too busy playing for the other team.
00:35:03I'm sorry, Samantha, give it back.
00:35:05Yes?
00:35:06It's not funny, please.
00:35:08Hey!
00:35:12What the hell's going on?
00:35:16Samantha, what the hell is your problem? Give me her bag back right now.
00:35:20Since when do you take Charity Case's side over mine? I know you still love me, Brad.
00:35:25Samantha, you and I had a fling for like a minute.
00:35:29And then you started acting like a complete psychopath. You and me are not a thing.
00:35:33So give me her bag back right now.
00:35:35Mm-hmm.
00:35:38This is all her fault.
00:35:47Thanks.
00:35:52Brad.
00:35:53Brad.
00:35:53You didn't give Chloe the letter.
00:35:56I...
00:35:56Yeah.
00:35:58You lied to me.
00:35:59No.
00:36:00Yeah, you didn't.
00:36:01No, I didn't.
00:36:05No.
00:36:27Brad.
00:36:30Please.
00:36:44Who is it?
00:36:46It's Brad.
00:36:51Come in.
00:37:01Why didn't you give her the letter?
00:37:05I 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.
00:39:05Brad?
00:39:30She wrote back.
00:39:33I'm going to throw up.
00:39:35Okay, let's see.
00:39:39Okay.
00:39:41Dear stranger,
00:39:43every time I open my locker,
00:39:45my heart sinks if it's empty.
00:39:47Each letter you leave
00:39:48makes the story of my life
00:39:50feel a little more complete.
00:39:52Oh, that's good.
00:39:54But 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 want her to think you guys have things in common, right?
00:40:24Yeah, yeah.
00:40:26What about when girls like
00:40:27when guys have their own interests?
00:40:29Okay, but not when their thing is
00:40:31basketball 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.
00:40:41Let's see.
00:40:42Okay.
00:40:44Chloe's favorite book?
00:40:46The 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?
00:41:06Anything 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.
00:41:19You're taking her on the first date.
00:41:20Where are you going?
00:41:22The drive-in movie theater.
00:41:25Hmm.
00:41:26Okay.
00:41:28Let me ask you something.
00:41:31If someone were to take you on a date,
00:41:33where would you want to go?
00:41:38It's not important.
00:41:39Anyways, I don't drive, so.
00:41:40Yeah.
00:41:41You don't drive?
00:41:43I never got my license.
00:41:46You're lying.
00:41:48Oh, my God.
00:41:49Little 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,
00:42:01Coach Sterling over here is open for driving lessons.
00:42:05No, Brad.
00:42:06It's not happening.
00:42:07Yes.
00:42:08I'm serious.
00:42:09No.
00:42:09No, 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.
00:42:24Driver's head time.
00:42:24You ready?
00:42:25I'm not doing it.
00:42:27Come on.
00:42:28You'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.
00:42:36Yeah, well, my dad died in one.
00:42:39And my mom's been in the hospital ever since.
00:42:41So, uh, I'm not driving.
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.
00:43:10Just like a turtle.
00:43:12And look at...
00:43:14Nothing's going to happen.
00:43:16Do you trust me?
00:43:19I do.
00:43:21Great.
00:43:22Hop on in.
00:43:24Okay.
00:43:27Look, I got you a gift.
00:43:29Okay.
00:43:30Let me see.
00:43:34Cute.
00:43:35Oh, God.
00:43:37You 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.
00:44:02Yep, right on the gas.
00:44:03Hold on.
00:44:04Hold on.
00:44:04Hold on.
00:44:05Hold on.
00:44:06Hold on.
00:44:08Okay.
00:44:09All right.
00:44:10Wow, that was great.
00:44:11No, no, no, no, no.
00:44:11Hey, 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.
00:44:20Yeah, 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?
00:44:30CT 83.
00:44:32Oh, my God.
00:44:33How dare you?
00:44:34Do people really look at each other like that?
00:44:36I mean, come on.
00:44:38Yeah.
00:44:38If they're blind.
00:44:42Watch, I better get a kiss right here.
00:44:44Right here.
00:44:45Oh.
00:44:46Oh!
00:44:47Call it.
00:44:48Well, look at you.
00:44:50I just don't understand why people think this stuff is, like, so romantic.
00:44:55It's the buildup.
00:44:57The anticipation, you know?
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 and the company?
00:45:19Sorry, I need to take this.
00:45:21Okay.
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, sweetie.
00:45:32Just 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.
00:45:47What 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.
00:46:07Man, there are other options.
00:46:09It's okay.
00:46:10I'll figure it out.
00:46:11Man.

00:54:53Just a dream.
00:55:08I have zero time or interest in dealing with you.
00:55:11Relax, desk rat. I'm not here to fight.
00:55:15Then what do you want?
00:55:16Imagine my surprise when your dumb ass 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. That's not mine.
00:55:31Hmm. Two phones. Weird for a broke little charity case.
00:55:36Get out.
00:55:36Smile.
00:55:38Give me my phone back.
00:55:39Holy shit.
00:55:40It's you. You're Paper Hearts.
00:55:42Please? Please, 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.
00:55:48Then 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.
00:56:04You look beautiful.
00:56:07How was your class?
00:56:08It was good.
00:56:09It was good?
00:56:09Ready for practice later?
00:56:10Yeah.
00:56:11Hey.
00:56:12Mia.
00:56:13Mia.
00:56:15Hey, I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:56:17I, um, Chloe.
00:56:19This is Mia, my good friend.
00:56:22And Mia, this is Chloe, my girlfriend.
00:56:26Hi.
00:56:28Brad talks about you all the time.
00:56:30Yeah, same.
00:56:33Um, I actually had something to tell you.
00:56:36Yeah, what's up?
00:56:39Uh, I, I broke up with Dan.
00:56:43Oh, really?
00:56:45Well, that's great.
00:56:45He's, uh, a total moron.
00:56:48Yeah, I'm sure you deserve much better.
00:56:50Yeah.
00:56:51Well, see you guys around.
00:56:53Hey, Mia, why don't you, uh, come to the game later?
00:56:56Yeah.
00:56:57I'll sit with you if you want.
00:56:58Yeah, that'd be great.
00:56:59Yeah, maybe.
00:57:00Um, see you guys around.
00:57:02Okay, I'll see you there.
00:57:24Hell of a love story, isn't it?
00:57:27Shame, it's all a lie.
00:57:29My figure.
00:57:34Woo!
00:57:41Go on.
00:57:43Okay.
00:57:48Sorry, excuse me.
00:57:50Just coming through, sorry.
00:57:53Uh, hey, 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.
00:58:01I need to tell you something, actually.
00:58:04Oh, my God.
00:58:06Ron, are you okay?
00:58:08Yeah.
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.
00:58:15All right, I gotta get back.
00:58:16Oh, good luck, good luck.
00:58:18Got this.
00:58:22Um, what were you gonna say, Mia?
00:58:25Um, I need to tell you, um, I've been, go on.
00:58:32Tell her.
00:58:39I, ugh, I knew you'd chicken out.
00:58:42Ron didn't write those letters.
00:58:45What?
00:58:45Our little ghostwriter here did every 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, oh, Chloe.
00:59:03Wait, I, ugh.
00:59:08No.
00:59:09Where are you going, man?
00:59:15Un-fucking-believable.
00:59:19All this work, Captain Love's story, ditches the team, and some stupid girl.
00:59:29God.
00:59:30I bet he's been fucking desk rat, his new chick found out.
00:59:37No, actually, I heard she's been screwing Professor Luke for her grades.
00:59:43Probably half the faculty.
00:59:45It's a shame that, uh, one pathetic whore costs us the game.
00:59:51What the hell did you just say?
00:59:54Relax, man.
00:59:58If you're into leftovers, that's your call.
01:00:07Hey, fuck you!
01:00:09Get off!
01:00:10Get off!
01:00:11Get off!
01:00:14What the hell's your problem?
01:00:16Don't you ever talk about her like that again.
01:00:30Brad?
01:00:33Talk to me.
01:00:35You really told me everything, huh?
01:00:36No.
01:00:36Everything?
01:00:37Oh, what's wrong with your hand?
01:00:39Captain!
01:00:40My captain is...
01:00:42You little bitch.
01:00:43Hold it.
01:00:46You think you're some kind of hero?
01:00:48Oh, my God!
01:00:49Stop!
01:00:53Get off!
01:00:54Get off!
01:00:54Sorry about your boy toy princess.
01:00:56Hey, thanks.
01:00:59There's more...
01:01:00Hey!
01:01:03Sorry, Brad.
01:01:06Let's go.
01:01:07Come on!
01:01:07Come on!
01:01:08Oh, my gosh!
01:01:09Brad!
01:01:10Brad!
01:01:11Oh.
01:01:12Hey!
01:01:13It's okay, it's okay!
01:01:14Someone!
01:01:25It's gonna be a quick little trip.
01:01:27It's okay.
01:01:28Hurry.
01:01:31Okay.
01:01:33Okay.
01:01:34Okay.
01:01:38It's just driving.
01:01:45You're gonna make it, Brad, okay?
01:01:46Stay with me.
01:01:48Okay.
01:01:59I'm so sorry this happened.
01:02:02It's all my fault.
01:02:06I wish you would have never asked me for help.
01:02:11I wish I would have just stayed invisible to you.
01:02:16None of this would have ever happened.
01:02:24I would have never fallen for you.
01:02:41Oh, it's you.
01:02:44Chloe!
01:02:45Hear me out, please.
01:02:52What do you want, Mia?
01:02:54For you to know the truth?
01:02:56Yeah.
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.
01:03:13Hey, has anyone in the school ever done anything like that for anyone?
01:03:21I know.
01:03:22I know it 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.
01:03:47And you?
01:03:52I'm letting go.
01:03:56Okay.
01:04:08Hey.
01:04:10Hey.
01:04:10Are you 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.
01:05:08You're welcome.
01:05:26Mia? Where are you going?
01:05:34I heard she's currently with Professor Luke.
01:05:37That's why she gets straight A's.
01:05:40Some people are just desperate.
01:05:59Oh, gosh.
01:06:00What do you want?
01:06:01I did what you asked.
01:06:03Except you didn't.
01:06:04And now it's time to pay the price.
01:06:09No, I told her the truth.
01:06:11You chickened out.
01:06:12And 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,
01:06:19he wouldn't even know she exists.
01:06:22You're seriously blaming this on me
01:06:24because 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?
01:06:34No.
01:06:35All this from homework?
01:06:37What are you doing?
01:06:38Give 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!
01:06:57Help!
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.
01:07:11But, give me your academic record, two weeks suspension.
01:07:16Effective immediately.
01:07:18What?
01:07:18Principal Matthews, you can't do this.
01:07:20I need to be at school.
01:07:21I have nothing else.
01:07:23She stole my money.
01:07:24What money?
01:07:25Where 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, turn.
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.
01:07:51I can't just...
01:07:52Take what's not yours.
01:07:53Isn't that exactly what you did with Brad?
01:07:56I can't just...
01:07:59At this rate, it'll take me a decade to earn the money back.
01:08:04Oh my goodness.
01:08:08That's wrestling and 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.
01:08:37I swear.
01:08:37This comes out of your paycheck.
01:08:39What?
01:08:40I...
01:08:41I...
01:08:42I...
01:08:42I...
01:08:43I...
01:08:43I...
01:08:43I'm so sorry.
01:08:48I'm...
01:08:57You're lucky she got you to the hospital in time.
01:09:01Who?
01:09:02Mia.
01:09:04She drove you.
01:09:05No.
01:09:06No, Mia can't drive.
01:09:09She did that night.
01:09:10Flicker.
01:09:12You are my everything.
01:09:16Jackson, you looked like you were about to meet Jesus back then.
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.
01:09:25I'm so good.
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.
01:09:34It's cheesy.
01:09:35You got me.
01:09:39You don't have to watch with me.
01:09:41No, I want to.
01:09:43I want to.
01:09:43I'm sorry.
01:09:47Okay.
01:10:09Hi, Dad.
01:10:17I 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.
01:10:38So hard.
01:10:48Why did you leave?
01:10:52Oh, my God.
01:10:53Hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:10:55I got you.
01:10:57You okay?
01:10:59Hey, hey.
01:11:00It's okay.
01:11:05I'm sorry.
01:11:15It's all over.
01:11:18All the money is gone.
01:11:22Even 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.
01:11:56If 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 Matheus?
01:12:30Yes, come in.
01:12:31Have a seat, please.
01:12:38Hi, Samantha.
01:12:41So, Principal Mathews.
01:12:43Mia 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. Mathews, they're just trying to blackmail me because I know the truth about Mia.
01:13:07You 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.
01:13:20You want to talk about liars?
01:13:22Yes.
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.
01:13:30And when I found out, they threatened me and 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.
01:14:15You 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 and I made sure that it would never get traced back to me.
01:14:28Mia is a great, very hard-working student and she would never do anything like this.
01:14:33She had nothing to do with it. I promise.
01:14:36Well, 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. Effective immediately.
01:14:51Samantha, so are you.
01:14:53What?
01:14:53What?
01:14:53Now, 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.
01:15:05Now, 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. Looks like Deserat is out of job.
01:15:42Ooh, you know, maybe you should work the corner.
01:15:47And by the way, word of advice, I heard it pays better if you don't use protection.
01:15:53Whoa!
01:15:55That's for every piece of shit thing you've ever said to me.
01:15:58Oh, God.
01:16:02Remind me not to piss you off.
01:16:04You already do.
01:16:06Thanks.
01:16:06Well, 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.
01:16:19We 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 happen
01:16:39so 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 gonna be okay.
01:16:59I promise.
01:17:13You're thinking so loud, I can hear it.
01:17:19I'm just glad you're okay, Mom.
01:17:22This is the end.
01:17:23This is the end.
01:17:24I've been around.
01:17:26I've been around.
01:17:27A bit of heaven.
01:17:29I've been around.
01:17:30So much we said.
01:17:31So much worse.
01:17:33I'm not better.
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.
01:17:53Just to make me laugh.
01:17:58Everyone was staring.
01:18:01But all I could see was him.
01:18:06That's it?
01:18:08That'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.
01:18:47Why did you do all of this for Mia?
01:18:49I don't know because she's my friend.
01:18:52I think you do know.
01:19:10We're too different.
01:19:13But you and her.
01:19:17You always mean sense.
01:19:24Write your own words this time.
01:19:32You are not true.
01:19:41and I mean like you're the same feeling as I do.
01:19:46Oh yeah...
01:19:52Please welcome to the stage the one and only
01:19:55Valedictorian Mia Brooks!
01:20:00Congratulations!
01:20:03I'm so proud of you.
01:20:04Thanks.
01:20:04Absolutely.
01:20:05Oh wow, good afternoon everyone, I had a whole speech planned about hard work
01:20:16and dedication and all the usual stuff you're supposed to say. I've spent so
01:20:22much of my life writing words for other people, it feels wrong not to write this
01:20:28moment for myself. I want to talk about love. Love isn't some perfect story with
01:20:38a guaranteed happy ending. It's confusing, terrifying, and it makes you mess up over
01:20:47and over and over again because suddenly
01:20:55someone else's happiness matters more than your own. And sometimes the scariest
01:20:59part isn't even falling for someone, it's letting them see you, all of you, and trusting
01:21:07that they won't walk away. I spent so much time writing stories for everyone else. I
01:21:14think it's time I write my own. Congratulations class of 2025.
01:21:20Oh, it's time I take my own advice. Bye!
01:21:24What the heck? Well, the show must go on everyone! We have our next runner-up valedictorian,
01:21:31Chloe Hartwell!
01:21:37Brad!
01:21:40Yeah?
01:21:40What are you doing? You're supposed to be at graduation.
01:21:43Yeah, why aren't you at graduation?
01:21:45I already got my diploma.
01:21:47No ceremony for me.
01:21:51Um...
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.
01:22:27Thought 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.
01:23:00Mia, you really should have read that letter.
01:23:05Why?
01:23:09Because then you'd already know how I feel.
01:23:10Maybe you'll find out more of a text.
01:23:24Bye.
01:23:25What are you doing?
01:23:26Bye.
01:23:28Bye.
01:23:31Bye.
01:23:32Bye.
01:23:32Bye.
01:23:34Bye.
01:23:34Bye.
01:23:35Bye.
01:23:35Bye.
01:23:37Bye.
01:23:38Bye.
01:23:39Bye.
01:23:42I don't know if you know this too
01:23:45I'd rather be right with you
01:23:50Nothing else matters right now
01:23:53It's just you and me, boy
01:23:57But if you're not alone, I'd rather be right with you
01:24:01Don't take your eyes off me, baby
01:24:05You're the one that I need
01:24:07I'll look at you
01:24:11You're the one that I want
01:24:12I'll take your eyes off me
01:24:14I get in touch with you
01:24:22You're the one that I want
01:24:28peace and I'll let you know
01:24:30Maybe even more, you don't wanna die
01:24:35So bright, bright, bright, bright
01:24:39I can't help you
01:24:41So bright, bright, bright
01:24:57If we're going to make this long distance thing work, you're going to have to learn how to drive.
01:25:01I'm already regretting this.
01:25:03Good, that's the spirit.
01:25:05We're going to die.
01:25:06No, we're going to be great.
01:25:09This is going to be awesome.
01:25:11Ready?
01:25:12Yep.
01:25:17Not too bad, huh?
01:25:19Not too bad.
01:25:43I'm a little girl, I'm a little girl.
01:25:49I love it.
01:25:52I love it.
01:25:53Everything.
01:25:54Everything.
01:25:55Sounds terrifying.
01:25:58Not with you.
01:26:11Ready to go?
01:26:13Yeah.
01:26:14You're driving.
01:26:16Sounds good.
01:26:17Let's go.
01:26:18Yeah.
01:26:21Pretty.
01:26:24Hold on, darling.
01:26:26Don't let me down.
01:26:28Hope that you feel it too.
01:26:30Just give me a sign.
01:26:32Cause I'm down.
01:26:33I know it ain't over.
01:26:40Until next time.
01:26:42Hold on, darling.
01:26:44Don't let me go.
01:26:46I wanna stay through this.
01:26:49So just hold me close.
01:26:50Cause I know.
01:26:51I know it ain't over.
01:26:55You feel it too right.
01:26:58So until next time.
01:27:00I'll leave alone.
01:27:02Just like that.
01:27:02I'm back to being sober.
01:27:04We'll leave it all on set.
01:27:06Cause this way.
