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.
00:05:21All that work.
00:05:22It's never been.
00:05:22No.
00:05:26Most of them.
00:05:27More than you would.
00:05:37All that work.
00:05:38You've got to look down.
00:05:39You've got to look down there.
00:05:42That's not going to go down there.
00:05:48You've got to look down there.
00:05:49All that work, all those words, and it's still not enough.
00:06:10I didn't take you for a midnight caller.
00:06:15I'll do it.
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 into very romantic things, so I don't want to
00:06:36just 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, will you do this for me?
00:07:02All 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.
00:07:22Well, not just regular cool, but the cool.
00:07:28You make me feel weird.
00:07:31Not bad weird.
00:07:32Good weird.
00:07:35Like when I score a basket and people cheer, but also, like when I eat too many tacos and my
00:07:42stomach gets all twisty.
00:07:44Rad.
00:07:46That's not bad.
00:07:47That's not bad.
00:07:47That's pretty good.
00:07:49Yeah, you obviously need my own.
00:07:52Okay.
00:07:53But I need something in return.
00:07:56Listen, Mia, you're a really cool girl.
00:07:58I just don't see you like that, okay?
00:08:00I need you to help me get with Dan.
00:08:07Dan.
00:08:08Big bad Dan.
00:08:11Yes.
00:08:12Dan, shut up.
00:08:13Good joke.
00:08:15You'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, metaphors, a little poetic flair, easy.
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.
00:08:54Oh, give it back.
00:08:56Give it back.
00:08:57Give it back.
00:09:01You stupid, clumsy bitch.
00:09:04Oh, come on out, Mia.
00:09:22Come on out, Mia.
00:09:23Don't be shy.
00:09:25Here for some action, nerd?
00:09:26Oh, this is about me, legendary.
00:09:29No.
00:09:29No, I know.
00:09:31It's the wrong room.
00:09:32I...
00:09:32Hey.
00:09:32Hey.
00:09:33What 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.
00:09:47Hey, ladies.
00:09:51Oh, my God.
00:09:54All right, let's go.
00:09:56Whoa, Brad.
00:09:58Close now.
00:09:59Sorry, Samantha was knocking on the door and...
00:10:01I...
00:10:02This wasn't...
00:10:03Enough to 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.
00:10:27How 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.
00:10:41Jeez, I'm just pulling your leg.
00:10:43For someone who gets naked on command, you're pretty sensitive.
00:10:46Kind of.
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.
00:11:29Want to know she's taking a step.
00:11:31Bye.
00:11:40Bye.
00:11:42Bye.
00:11:45Bye.
00:11:51Bye.
00:11:52Bye.
00:12:06It was a look, but here is the version.
00:12:14Mia!
00:12:17You did it!
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?
00:12:36Oh, 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.
00:13:03What?
00:13:05I 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, uh, 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 backup.
00:13:38Ladies.
00:13:43Makeover time.
00:13:44Oh, my God.
00:13:46No.
00:13:47Please, no.
00:13:51Well, take great care of her for me.
00:13:52Of course.
00:13:53Anything for the captain.
00:13:54Don'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.
00:14:07Oh, damn.
00:14:08We can do something.
00:14:29Yes.
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.
00:14:58I see you drooling over my boyfriend.
00:15:01Brad said you guys never even dated, so.
00:15:03No.
00:15:04Because of you, I got detention.
00:15:06Oh, get out of my dorm.
00:15:08Right after we settled the score.
00:15:10What?
00:15:11Oh, my God.
00:15:11Oh, my God.
00:15:12Samantha.
00:15:16What are you doing?
00:15:20Samantha.
00:15:21No.
00:15:22Stop.
00:15:22Stop.
00:15:23Samantha.
00:15:24Open the door.
00:15:25No ball for you, Cinderella.
00:15:28Donna.
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.
00:15:52Next time.
00:15:53Wake me.
00:15:56Sweetie, what's wrong?
00:15:58Nothing.
00:15:59Um, you know, just high school can be a lot sometimes.
00:16:03You 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 soul, neither was your father.
00:16:13But you.
00:16:14You don't break.
00:16:16That's your gift, baby.
00:16:18And no one can take that from you.
00:16:21So whatever's got you down, you'll figure it out.
00:16:24You always do.
00:16:26Yeah, you're right.
00:16:27I will.
00:16:29I love you, Mom.
00:16:30I love you, Mom.
00:16:54Brat.
00:17:15Come on, Mia, where are you?
00:17:17Miss me?
00:17:18No.
00:17:30Hey.
00:17:32Hey.
00:17:33Wow, you look beautiful.
00:17:38You brat?
00:17:40Yeah.
00:17:41That's cool.
00:17:42I had to get creative.
00:17:44Wow, look at you.
00:17:47So what now?
00:17:48Check this out.
00:17:50Everybody, it's beer phone time!
00:17:53Hey, damn, why don't you pair up with Mia?
00:18:00Hi.
00:18:01Hi.
00:18:02I'm Dan.
00:18:03Uh, we met.
00:18:07Um, hey, guys, losers have to strip.
00:18:14Actually, losers have to do seven minutes in heaven.
00:18:18Yeah!
00:18:19Let's go!
00:18:21Um, no.
00:18:24Let's go, Captain.
00:18:26Sure.
00:18:30Thanks.
00:18:31All right.
00:18:31Let's play.
00:18:33Hey, don't worry.
00:18:34Shea has to.
00:18:35No.
00:18:36Come on, Dan.
00:18:37Come on, Dan.
00:18:45Ooh, that match.
00:18:48You look a little broken.
00:18:50I know.
00:18:51You can't see.
00:18:51You can't see.
00:18:52You can't see.
00:18:53Oh, sure.
00:18:54Oh, man.
00:18:55You can't see.
00:18:58Oh, man.
00:19:00Looks like we won.
00:19:02Actually, it looks like we won.
00:19:04You mean we lost?
00:19:06That's the way I see it.
00:19:07Oh.
00:19:08Come on.
00:19:09It's going.
00:19:10Yeah.
00:19:14Ooh, whoa.

00:19:17Oh, wow.
00:19:18Oh, wow.
00:19:19Oh, wow.
00:19:19Oh, wow.
00:19:21Watch your step.
00:19:22Yeah, you go ahead.
00:19:23Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
00:19:32Hi.
00:19:34Hi.
00:19:36So, I've never done this before.
00:19:39Well, that's okay.
00:19:41Just follow my lead.
00:19:43Okay.
00:19:50Okay.
00:19:53Bye.
00:19:55Cops.
00:19:55What?
00:19:56Shit.
00:19:57Cops?
00:19:58Where are you lying?
00:20:00Okay.
00:20:00This way.
00:20:02Hey, hey.
00:20:02You okay?
00:20:03Hey.
00:20:03Hey, how are you?
00:20:04Party's over.
00:20:05We gotta go.
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.
00:20:13All 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.
00:20:20Oh, yeah.
00:20:22You okay?
00:20:22Come on.
00:20:22I kissed and lost her.
00:20:25I was 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.
00:20:35Bye.
00:20:36Bye.
00:20:36Bye.
00:20:37Bye.
00:20:49Please.
00:20:51Why can't I feel my teeth?
00:20:55Congratulations.
00:20:56Your 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.
00:21:39You don't run away from a letter.
00:21:41Yeah.
00:21:42Right?
00:21:42Come on.
00:21:52Hello, 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 what do I do?
00:22:14Do I...
00:22:14Do I ask her out?
00:22:17What?
00:22:18No.
00:22:19No, 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.
00:22:29I 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.
00:22:44We both know these jocks didn't write their essays.
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.
00:23:20I'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.
00:24:18Back from the principal's office.
00:24:19Yeah.
00:24:20Uh, what was that about?
00:24:22I have to shut it down.
00:24:24Shut...
00:24:24Shut what down?
00:24:27Paper hearts.
00:24:28They're on to 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.
00:24:45It's going to be okay.
00:24:47You know, you know nothing about real life.
00:24:51Since 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.
00:25:14I...
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 on to me.
00:25:44I don't have a choice.
00:26:12I don't have a choice.
00:26:18Mia, hey!
00:26:19Come 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.
00:26:28We run these streets.
00:26:31Let's go.
00:26:39Did you ever hear about how long 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.
00:26:55Yeah.
00:27:00Oh, hey.
00:27:01Watch this.
00:27:05Oh.
00:27:16It's all right.
00:27:16Not the next one.
00:27:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:20All right.
00:27:21Oh.
00:27:22Okay.
00:27:23Woo!
00:27:24Yeah.
00:27:25All right.
00:27:26Look at that.
00:27:28For my lady.
00:27:33Hey, can we get, uh, ice cream?
00:27:36Two, please?
00:27:37Um, what the hell are you doing here?
00:27:39Why are you wearing Brad's jacket?
00:27:42And Dan, really?
00:27:43Are you actually trying to hook up with this desk rat?
00:27:46We're on a date.
00:27:47Samantha, what do you want?
00:27:48If you're going to steal my boyfriend, don't get mad when I steal yours.
00:27:53Dan, I could really use your help with my chem homework, like, in my dorm.
00:27:59Oh.
00:28:02Yeah, Samantha's got this project.
00:28:04I'll be right back.
00:28:05Just, yeah.
00:28:06Let's go.
00:28:13That's five bucks for the ice creams.
00:28:27Hey.
00:28:34Mia.
00:29:03I'm going to be right back.
00:29:36I'm sorry.
00:29:39It's the last time.
00:29:43Did you start the second letter?
00:29:45Yeah, I had to write it by myself.
00:29:47Or, well, at least I tried to write it.
00:29:50Hmm.
00:29:50Let's see it.
00:30:09It's not terrible.
00:30:13You know, that's the nicest thing you've ever said about me.
00:30:18Wait, you actually read her favorite book?
00:30:21Yeah, I did.
00:30:23Very romantic.
00:30:25Very gushy.
00:30:26A lot of stargazing.
00:30:28And 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.
00:30:56So, I think that's really cool.
00:31:02That one's perfect for you.
00:31:08Isn't this a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?
00:31:10Yeah, yeah.
00:31:11That's the one.
00:31:12Well, why do you think this is perfect for me?
00:31:18Because you're always chasing your green light.
00:31:24Hey.
00:31:26There you are.
00:31:27I'm looking for you.
00:31:30Well, that's my cue.
00:31:32For real.
00:31:47Hey.
00:31:52I've been thinking about you.
00:31:54Really?
00:31:56It must be hard with Samantha's tongue so far down your throat.
00:31:59What?
00:32:01Babe, 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.
00:32:45Yeah.
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.
00:32:57Oh, you already said that.
00:33:08You 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.
00:33:26It's not that bad thing.
00:33:36It's about the bad life.
00:33:37oh, lord, she's gonna be haciendo it.
00:33:43I don't care if you could see her.

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.
00:55:28That's not mine.
00:55:32Two phones.
00:55:34Weird 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.
00:55:41Your Paper Hearts.
00:55:42Please?
00:55:43Please, Samantha, you can't tell anyone.
00:55:45I'll do your homework, your essays, whatever you want.
00:55:47I don't care about any of that.
00:55:49Then what do you want?
00:55:50I want the truth.
00:55:51Why is Brad always with you?
00:55:57I need to tell him about Samantha.
00:56:01Hey.
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.
00:56:09It was good?
00:56:09Ready for practice later?
00:56:11Yeah.
00:56:11Hey!
00:56:12Mia!
00:56:13Mia!
00:56:15Hey, I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:56:17I, um...
00:56:19Chloe.
00:56:19This is Mia, my good friend.
00:56:22And Mia, this is Chloe.
00:56:24My girlfriend.
00:56:26Hi.
00:56:28Brad talks about you all the time.
00:56:30Yeah, same.
00:56:33Um...
00:56:34I actually had something to tell you.
00:56:36Yeah, what's up?
00:56:38Uh...
00:56:39I...
00:56:41I 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, it'll be great.
00:56:59Yeah.
00:57:00Maybe.
00:57:01Um...
00:57:01See you guys around.
00:57:02Yeah.
00:57:02Okay, I'll be there.
00:57:24Hell of a love story, isn't it?
00:57:26Mm.
00:57:27Shame.
00:57:28It's all a lie.
00:57:29My figure.
00:57:35Woo!
00:57:41Go on.
00:57:43Okay.
00:57:48Hey.
00:57:49Sorry.
00:57:49Excuse me.
00:57:50Just coming through.
00:57:51Sorry.
00:57:54Uh...
00:57:56Hey, Chloe.
00:57:57Oh, my God.
00:57:58Hi.
00:57:58I'm so glad you're here.
00:57:59Hey.
00:57:59Yeah.
00:58:00Um, it's a good game.
00:58:01Um, I need to tell you something.
00:58:03I need to tell you something.
00:58:04Actually...
00:58:04Oh!
00:58:04Oh!
00:58:05Ron!
00:58:06Ron, are you okay?
00:58:08Yeah.
00:58:09Yeah.
00:58:10Yeah.
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.

01:05:03good
01:05:05good
01:05:26Mia? Where are you going?
01:05:34I heard she's currently with Professor Luke. That's why she gets straight A's. Some people are just desperate.
01:05:59Oh, gosh. What do you want? I did what you asked. Except you didn't. And now it's time to pay
01:06:06the price.
01:06:09No, I told her the truth. You chickened out. And now Brad's still with her. Not me.
01:06:15It's not my fault that he hates you. Please. If it weren't for your little love letters, he wouldn't even
01:06:20know she exists.
01:06:22You're seriously blaming this on me because he doesn't want to be with you? You need help.
01:06:30Give it back. Excuse me. What are you doing? Nope. All this from homework? What are you doing? Give me
01:06:38my phone.
01:06:39Oh, just call it interest for fucking up my love.
01:06:53You're going to regret that. Help! Help!
01:06:58Please, she's attacking me.
01:07:00Mia Brooks, please report to the principal's office immediately.
01:07:08Any other student would be expelled for this. But, give me your academic record. Two weeks suspension. Effective immediately.
01:07:18What? Principal Matthews, you can't do this. I need to be at school. I have nothing else. She stole my
01:07:24money.
01:07:24What money? Where would someone like her even get money?
01:07:27That's all, Mia. You can go.
01:07:29No!
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 do it.
01:07:52Take what's not yours. Isn't that exactly what you did with Brad?
01:07:59At this rate, it'll take me a decade to earn the money back.
01:08:04Oh, my goodness.
01:08:08Death's rat slinging wieners and beef. It'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. What are you doing?
01:08:23Hmm.
01:08:25Oops.
01:08:26Oh, God.
01:08:27You 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.
01:08:38This comes out of your paycheck.
01:08:39What?
01:08:40I...
01:08:42I'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.
01:09:12You are my everything.
01:09:16Jackson, you looked like you were about to meet Jesus back then.
01:09:19This part's my favorite.
01:09:21The way they realized they loved each other all along.
01:09:25Right.
01:09:26After three conversations and a kiss in the rain.
01:09:29Very realistic.
01:09:32It's romantic.
01:09:34It's cheesy.
01:09:39You don't have to watch with me.
01:09:41No, I want to.
01:09:42I want to.
01:09:43I'm sorry.
01:09:45I'm...
01:09:46I'm sorry.
01:09:47I'm sorry.
01:09:48Okay.
01:09:49But I'm still holding on.
01:09:54I wish they were.
01:09:55You know I could have done it better.
01:09:59Show me the love for the little things.
01:10:02It's the way you love.
01:10:03I wish you were here.
01:10:21You know how to fix this.
01:10:26Mom's really sick.
01:10:29She's really sick.
01:10:31And I can't save her.
01:10:36And I've tried so hard.
01:10:48Why did you leave?
01:10:52Oh, my God.
01:10:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:10:55I got you.
01:10:57You okay?
01:10:59Hey, hey.
01:11:01It's okay.
01:11:15It's all over.
01:11:18All the money is gone.
01:11:23Even if I worked every second, it wouldn't be enough.
01:11:27You know, when I came out here and I saw you, I got so scared.
01:11:37Samantha took everything.
01:11:39I know.
01:11:40Every cent.
01:11:42And she knows who I am.
01:11:44She knows about me.
01:11:45And I'm paper hearts.
01:11:48Well, then we will do everything that we can to make sure that she gives it back.
01:11:52How?
01:11:53How?
01:11:53She 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.
01:12:08Let'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, Mia did not lie about everything.
01:12:45Samantha was the one that stole everything.
01:12:47Everything from the car wash, everything that Mia worked so hard to get.
01:12:51Even if that were true, which it's not,
01:12:53how 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?
01:13:22Here'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.
01:13:33And she attacked me.
01:13:35She told me that if I told anyone, she would kill me.
01:13:38So, I just couldn't hide it anymore.
01:13:41Is this true?
01:13:43What?
01:13:44This is ridiculous.
01:13:47No, it's not.
01:13:48Because I run paper hearts.
01:13:51I always have, and Mia has never had anything to do with it.
01:13:55You fully understand the consequences of your confession, Brad?
01:14:00Yes, I do.
01:14:02So, you expect me to believe a student like you, who's barely turned in a completed essay his entire high
01:14:09school career?
01:14:11Well, that was exactly the point.
01:14:13No one would ever suspect it was me.
01:14:15You 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.
01:14:24And I made sure that it would never get traced back to me.
01:14:28Mia is a great, very hard-working student.
01:14:31And she would never do anything like this.
01:14:33She had nothing to do with it.
01:14:35I promise.
01:14:35Well, where did Mia get the money?
01:14:38Frankly, sir, I have no idea.
01:14:40But honestly, however much money is in Mia's bank account is really, well, none of our business.
01:14:46Brad, you're expelled.
01:14:49Effective immediately.
01:14:51Samantha, so are you.
01:14:53What?
01:14:53Now, 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.
01:15:19Thank you, sir.
01:15:36Well, well, well.
01:15:39Looks 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.
01:15:55That's for every piece of shit thing you've ever said to me.
01:15:58Ooh, 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.
01:16:15We have the money.
01:16:16Please, where's my mom?
01:16:18You're two hours late.
01:16:20We couldn't wait any longer.
01:16:21We had to move on to the next patient.
01:16:26Well, Doc, 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 so we can
01:16:40save this beautiful woman's life tonight.
01:16:47Wait here.
01:16:53Hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:16:55We're too late.
01:16:56We're not too late.
01:16:58It's going to be okay.
01:16:59I promise.
01:17:13I promise.
01:17:14I'm thinking so loud.
01:17:15I can hear it.
01:17:19You're just glad you're okay, Mom.
01:17:23That's not all.
01:17:35Mom, how did you know you were in love with Dad?
01:17:38We were at this terrible karaoke bar.
01:17:42Oh, thanks.
01:17:44Neither one of us could sing to save our lives, but he got up anyway, sang horribly, just to make
01:17:54me laugh.
01:17:58Everyone was staring, but all I could see was him.
01:18:06That's it?
01:18:10Love isn't some big moment, sweetie.
01:18:13It's the little ones that make you feel seen, safe.
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.
01:18:55I don't 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.
01:19:26Write your own words this time.
01:19:32You got a drop of shit.
01:19:52Please welcome to the stage, the one and only, valedictorian Mia Brooks.
01:20:00Congratulations.
01:20:03I'm so proud of you.
01:20:04Thanks.
01:20:04Absolutely.
01:20:05Oh, wow.
01:20:07Um, good afternoon, everyone.
01:20:12I had a whole speech planned about hard work and dedication and all the usual stuff you're
01:20:20supposed to say.
01:20:21I've spent so much of my life writing words for other people, it feels wrong not to write
01:20:28this moment for myself.
01:20:29I want to talk about love.
01:20:35Love isn't some perfect story with a guaranteed happy ending.
01:20:40It's confusing.
01:20:42It's confusing.
01:20:43It's terrifying.
01:20:44It makes you mess up over and over and over again.
01:20:51Because suddenly, someone else's happiness matters more than your own.
01:20:58And sometimes the scariest part isn't even falling for someone, it's letting them see you, all
01:21:05of you, and trusting that they won't walk away.
01:21:09I've spent so much time writing stories for everyone else.
01:21:14I think it's time I write my own.
01:21:17I think it's time I write my own.
01:21:18Congratulations, class of 2025.
01:21:21It's time I take my own advice.
01:21:23Bye.
01:21:24What the heck?
01:21:26Well, the show must go on, everyone.
01:21:28We have our next runner-up valedictorian, Chloe Hartwell.
01:21:38Brad.
01:21:40Yeah?
01:21:41What are you doing?
01:21:41You're supposed to be at graduation.
01:21:42Yeah, why aren't you at graduation?
01:21:44Why aren't you at graduation?
01:21:45I already got my diploma.
01:21:48No ceremony for me.
01:21:51Um...
01:21:52My parents are moving tomorrow.
01:21:54New investment, new town.
01:21:59T-tomorrow?
01:22:02You were just gonna leave without saying anything?
01:22:07I figured you'd be better off.
01:22:15I got your letter.
01:22:18Yeah?
01:22:22Any notes?
01:22:24I got too scared to read it.
01:22:27I thought we could do it together.
01:22:32But first, there's something I want to say.
01:22:36You're the most annoying,
01:22:40stubborn, frustrating person I've ever met.
01:22:46And I love you.
01:22:49I love you, and I'm done pretending,
01:22:52so 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.
01:23:20To be a seat!
01:23:28The end, before we leave the wall.speaking
01:23:29right, you are right. To be
01:23:34a place! To be
01:23:36a place!
