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.
00:05:22And I'll do it again.
00:05:30No.
00:05:31Go ahead, man.
00:05:35No, no.
00:05:36No, no.
00:05:38No, no.
00:05:41No, no.
00:05:42No.
00:05:44No.
00:05:47No.
00:05:49No.
00:05:50All that work, all those words, and it's still not enough.
00:06:10I didn't take you for a midnight caller.
00:06:15I'll do it, but under one condition.
00:06:25Who even writes love letters anymore? You're not 12.
00:06:28Yeah, well, Chloe's a different kind of girl.
00:06:30She likes to read books, and she's a writer, and she's in a very romantic thing, so I don't want
00:06:36to 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?
00:06:50All right.
00:06:52That was just a rumor.
00:06:53Trust me, we were never really a thing.
00:06:56So, will you do this for me?
00:07:03All right.
00:07:04All right, show me what you wrote.
00:07:14Hey, Chloe.
00:07:20I think you're really cool.
00:07:23Not just regular cool, but 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 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 pretty good.
00:07:49Yeah, you obviously need my help.
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.
00:08:09Big 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.
00:08:31Flattery, metaphors, a 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.
00:09:01You stupid, clumsy bitch.
00:09:06Really?
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.
00:09:29Hello.
00:09:30No, I know it's the wrong room.
00:09:32I...
00:09:32Hey.
00:09:32Hey.
00:09:33What are you doing?
00:09:34Hey, back up.
00:09:36Come on out, Mia.
00:09:38Don't be shy, please.
00:09:38Don't open the door.
00:09:40No, if they want something to stare at, I'll give them something to stare at.
00:09:43Becca, lunch.
00:09:47Hey, ladies.
00:09:51Oh, my God.
00:09:54All right, let's go on.
00:09:56Whoa, Brad, clothes now.
00:09:59Sorry, uh, Samantha was knocking on the door and, uh...
00:10:01I...
00:10:02I...
00:10:02This was it.
00:10:03I'm not...
00:10:04To the principal's office, all of you.
00:10:07Get some clothes on.
00:10:09Will do.
00:10:10Thank you, sir.
00:10:12Hey, they're gone.
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.
00:10:19Yeah.
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.
00:10:41Sheesh.
00:10:42I'm just pulling your leg.
00:10:43For someone who gets naked on command, you're pretty sensitive.
00:10:50You could have any girl in the school.
00:10:52Why Chloe?
00:10:54I don't know.
00:10:56Why does it matter?
00:10:58It'd 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.
00:11:38I don't know.
00:12:16Oh, you did it!
00:12:19You did it!
00:12:20Oh! Oh!
00:12:23Sorry.
00:12:24Yeah, it's fine.
00:12:26You're a genius. Yeah.
00:12:28I knew my plan was gonna 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? Oh, Dan.
00:12:38Yeah, Dan. Oh, yeah, right.
00:12:41No, no, no. Yeah, Dan.
00:12:42Oh, gosh. Don't tell me you forgot.
00:12:45No. No, actually,
00:12:46I got this.
00:12:49Brad.
00:12:50You're gonna see Dan.
00:12:52Tonight.
00:12:54Tonight? Yeah, there's a party at
00:12:56Ryan's and Dan is gonna be there.
00:12:58I don't do parties.
00:13:00Well, Dan parties.
00:13:02So you do now.
00:13:04But I don't have
00:13:06anything to wear.
00:13:12Oh, God.
00:13:14You scare me.
00:13:16You look like you're about
00:13:17to get naked again.
00:13:19No, I, uh,
00:13:21I got a plan.
00:13:28See?
00:13:30That 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, no.
00:13:47No, please no.
00:13:51Well, take great care of her for me.
00:13:52Of course.
00:13:53Anything for the captain.
00:13:55Don't worry.
00:13:55We'll make her shine.
00:13:57Oh, 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.
00:14:01No, please.
00:14:02Good luck.
00:14:03Don't leave me here.
00:14:04Enjoy.
00:14:04Brad.
00:14:05We can do something.
00:14:07We can maybe put it.
00:14:08Ah, dang.
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.
00:14:57I 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?
00:15:17That would be worth making.
00:15:18What's up, you all feel tranquil.
00:15:20Samantha?
00:15:22Samantha?
00:15:22No.
00:15:22Stop, Samantha!
00:15:23Open the door!
00:15:25No fall for you, Cinderella.
00:15:28Stop!
00:15:44Hey, Mom. Is everything okay?
00:15:47The doctor said you stopped by.
00:15:50I didn't want to wake you.
00:15:52Next time, wake me.
00:15:56Sweetie, what's wrong?
00:15:58Nothing. Um, 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. I was never that tough. Rest of the soul, neither was your father, but you.
00:16:14You don't break. That's your gift, baby. And no one can take that from you.
00:16:20So whatever's got you down, you'll figure it out. You always do.
00:16:26Yeah, you're right. I will.
00:16:30I love you, Mom.
00:16:40Brat.

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, 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.
00:27:59Oh.
00:28:00So, yeah, Samantha's got this project.
00:28:04I'll be right back.
00:28:05Just, yeah.
00:28:06Let's go.
00:28:13That's five bucks for the ice creams.
00:28:27Hey.
00:28:34Mia.
00:28:35Let's go.
00:29:05Let's go.
00:29:36I'm sorry.
00:29:39It's the last time.
00:29:43Did you start the second letter?
00:29:45Yeah, I had to write it by myself.
00:29:47Or, well, at least I tried to write it.
00:29:50Hmm.
00:29:50Let's see it.
00:30:08It'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.
00:30:28And 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.
00:30:57I think that's really cool.
00:31:02That one's perfect for you.
00:31:07Isn't this a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?
00:31:10Yeah, yeah, that'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've been looking for you.
00:31:29Well, that's my cue.
00:31:32For real.
00:31:47Hey.
00:31:52I've been thinking about you.
00:31:54Really?
00:31:55It must be hard with Samantha's tongue so far down your throat.
00:31:59What?
00:32:01Maybe nothing happened.
00:32:03Hey, I promise.
00:32:05Look, you were the only person that matters to me.
00:32:09Okay.
00:32:10Why?
00:32:12Why what?
00:32:14Why do I matter?
00:32:16What are you into?
00:32:18I'm into you, of course.
00:32:22Okay, but why do you like me?
00:32:27You're really pretty.
00:32:29And, like, you weren't always this pretty.
00:32:33Like, I'll be honest with you.
00:32:35I didn't even realize we were in the same class for a while.
00:32:39Hey, 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.
00:33:09You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:33:15You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:33:19I think that's really cool.
00:33:23I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.
00:33:45Oh, my God.
00:33:56Look, it's already been a couple days, and she still hasn't responded.
00:33:59I'm pretty sure she hates me.
00:34:01No, it hasn't been that long.
00:34:04Maybe I should just talk to her.
00:34:06No.
00:34:07No, that's not how this works.
00:34:09You need to let her wonder.
00:34:11Let her wonder, huh?
00:34:13Yeah.
00:34:13Or maybe, or maybe, now hear me out, I could just talk to her and tell her that I like
00:34:19her.
00:34:20And ruin the mystery?
00:34:22Are you sure you put the litter in her locker?
00:34:25Yes.
00:34:26Brad, I'm sure.
00:34:34Look who's back.
00:34:36Desk 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.
00:34:59Oh, my God.
00:35:00No wonder you're a virgin.
00:35:01Too 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?
00:35:18Give me her bag back right now.
00:35:20Since when do you take Charity Case's side over mine?
00:35:23I know you still love me, Brad.
00:35:25Samantha, you and I had a fling for like a minute.
00:35:29And then you started acting like a complete psychopath.
00:35:31You and me are not a thing.
00:35:33So give me her bag back right now.
00:35:35Mm-hmm.
00:35:38This is all her fault.
00:35:47Thanks.
00:35:52Brad.
00:35:53You didn't give Chloe the letter.
00:35:56I...
00:35:56Mia.
00:35:58You lied to me.
00:35:59No.
00:36:00Yeah, you didn't.
00:36:01No, I didn't.
00:36:06No.
00:36:28Brad.
00:36:29Please.
00:36:31You lied to me.
00:36:33I didn't give away.
00:36:34You lied to me.
00:36:35I didn't give away.
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. I don't.
00:37:10What, did you want some money?
00:37:11Was that it? You 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, or 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...
00:37:54I can't read it without you.
00:37:58I'm not doing this anymore.
00:38:05Please.
00:38:29Dear Chloe, I don't know how to tell you what you make me feel without sounding like a total cliché.
00:38:34But when I see you, everything else fades.
00:38:41I like the way that you always bite your pen when you're stuck on a sentence.
00:38:44Like you're trying to scare the words into place.
00:38:50I like that you don't try to fit in.
00:38:52You just exist.
00:38:54Exactly the way you are.
00:39:02You make the world's chaos quieter just by being in it.
00:39:07Brad.
00:39:13Brad.
00:39:31She wrote back.
00:39:33I'm going to throw up.
00:39:35Okay, let's see.
00:39:39Okay.
00:39:41Dear stranger, every time I open my locker, my heart sinks if it's empty.
00:39:47Each letter you leave makes the story of my life feel a little more complete.
00:39:52Ooh, 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 Cooley's favorite band.
00:40:21You are to think you guys have things in common, right?
00:40:24Yeah.
00:40:25Yeah.
00:40:26What about when girls like when guys have their own interests?
00:40:29Okay, but not when their thing is basketball and burping the alphabet.
00:40:33You remember that?
00:40:35Yeah.
00:40:36That's bad.
00:40:37That's really bad.
00:40:39Oh my god.
00:40:39Okay, so let'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.
00:41:27Let me ask you something.
00:41:31If someone were to take you on a date, where would you want to go?
00:41:38It's not important.
00:41:39Anyways, I don't drive, so, yeah.
00:41:41You don't drive?
00:41:43I never got my license.
00:41:46You're lying.
00:41:48Oh my god, Little Miss Overachiever never got her license.
00:41:52This is amazing.
00:41:53It's not funny.
00:41:54It's very funny.
00:41:55It's pretty funny.
00:41:57Wow.
00:41:59Well, lucky for you, Coach Sterling over here is open for driving lessons.
00:42:05No, Brad, it's not happening.
00:42:07Yes.
00:42:08I'm serious.
00:42:09No.
00:42:09No, I'm serious.
00:42:10I'm sorry.
00:42:11It's not a joke.
00:42:12It's not going to happen.
00:42:14It's happening.
00:42:23All right, driver's head time.
00:42:24You ready?
00:42:25I'm not doing it.
00:42:27Come on, you're a genius.
00:42:29How hard can driving be?
00:42:30No, I'm serious.
00:42:31Brad, please just drop it.
00:42:33Look, what are you so afraid of?
00:42:35It's a car, not a shark.
00:42:36You're going to be fine.
00:42:36Yeah, well, my dad died in one, and my mom's been in the hospital ever since, so I'm not
00:42:43driving.
00:42:48I got an idea.
00:42:50All right, so why don't you just stay right here?
00:42:54Okay.
00:43:05What are you doing?
00:43:08We're going to take it slow, just like a turtle.
00:43:12And 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.
00:43:27I think 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.
00:44:01On the gas.
00:44:02Right on the gas.
00:44:03Oh!
00:44:04Wait, wait, wait.
00:44:04Come on!
00:44:05Come on!
00:44:08Okay, all 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.
00:44:19Well, 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!
00:44:28Lucas?
00:44:30See you to me, you're free.
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.
00:44:38They're blind.
00:44:42Watch, I better get a kiss right here.
00:44:44Right here.
00:44:45Oh.
00:44:46Oh!
00:44:46Oh, God, look at you.
00:44:50I just don't understand why people think this stuff is, like, so romantic.
00:44:55It's the build-up.
00:44:57The anticipation, you know?
00:44:59Just like her.
00:45:00You can kiss your company goodbye.
00:45:04So, are you sure?
00:45:08I've never been more sure of anything in my whole life.
00:45:16What about your mom and the company?
00:45:19Sorry, I need to take this.
00:45:21Oh, no.
00:45:22Hello?
00:45:24I'll be right there.
00:45:28Mom?
00:45:29You said it was an emergency?
00:45:30It's nothing, sweetie.
00:45:32It'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.
00:45:56Her 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.

00:55:15Then 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?

00:55:47I don't care about any of that.
00:55:49Then what do you want?
00:55:50I want the truth. Why 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.

00:56:41I broke up with Dan.
00:56:43Oh, really?
00:56:44Well, that's great. He's 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, maybe.
00:57:01Um...
00:57:01See you guys around.
00:57:02Okay, I'll see you there.
00:57:07I'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.
00:57:32I'll see you there.
00:57:35Ah!

00:57:43Okay.

00:58:08Yeah.

00:58:12Are you okay?
00:58:13I'm okay.
00:58:14Are you scared?
00:58:14I'm okay.
00:58:16All right, I gotta get back.
00:58:16Oh, good luck, good luck.
00:58:18Got this.
00:58:21Um...
00:58:24What were you gonna say, Mia?
00:58:26Um...
00:58:28I need to tell you, um...
00:58:31I've been...
00:58:31Go on.
00:58:32Tell her.
00:58:38I...
00:58:40Ugh, I knew you'd chicken out.
00:58:42I didn't write those letters.
00:58:45What?
00:58:45Our little ghost writer here did.
00:58:48Every word.
00:58:49They were just messing with you.
00:58:51Both of them.
00:58:52Chloe, it's not like that.
00:58:54At all.
00:58:55So...
00:58:56Everything was a lie?
00:58:57It wasn't a lie.
00:58:59At all.
00:59:00I...
00:59:00Oh!
00:59:02Chloe!
00:59:03Wait.
00:59:04I...
00:59:08No!
00:59:09Where you going, man?
00:59:16Un-fucking-believable!
00:59:19All this work...
00:59:21Captain Love's story...
00:59:23Ditches the team...
00:59:25Out of some stupid girl.
00:59:27Hmph.
00:59:29God.
00:59:30I bet he's been fucking desk rat his new chick found out.
00:59:37No, actually...
00:59:39I don't know.
00:59:39I heard she's been screwing Professor Luke for her grades.
00:59:43Probably half the faculty.
00:59:46It's a shame that, uh...
00:59:48One pathetic whore costs us the game.
00:59:51What the hell did you just say?
00:59:54Relax, man.
00:59:58If you're into leftovers, that's your call.
01:00:14What the hell is your problem?
01:00:16Don't you ever talk about her like that again.
01:00:18I'm done.
01:00:18I'm done.
01:00:19I'm done.
01:00:20I'm done.
01:00:30Brad?
01:00:33Talk to me.
01:00:35You really told her everything, huh?
01:00:36No.
01:00:36Everything?
01:00:37What's wrong with your hair?
01:00:39Captain.
01:00:40My captain is...
01:00:42Hold it.
01:00:42Hold it.
01:00:46You think you're some kind of hero?
01:00:47You're some kind of hero?
01:00:54Sorry about your boy toy princess
01:01:03Sorry Brad
01:01:06Let's go
01:01:06Come on
01:01:09Brad
01:01:13It's okay
01:01:14It's okay
01:01:25It's gonna be a quick little trip
01:01:27It's okay
01:01:27Hurry
01:01:32Okay
01:01:33Okay
01:01:39It's just driving
01:01:44Okay
01:01:44You'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
01:02:08You 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
01:02:43It's you
01:02:43Chloe
01:02:45Hear me out
01:02:46Please
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
01:03:13Has anyone
01:03:14In the school ever done
01:03:16Anything like that for anyone
01:03:21I know
01:03:21I know he doesn't erase
01:03:22What he's done
01:03:24But
01:03:25It should at least mean something
01:03:30You 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
01:03:40I got scared when I found out
01:03:44That's not why you're here
01:03:47And you
01:03:51I'm letting go
01:03:56Okay
01:04:07Hey
01:04:09You okay
01:04:27I'm almost there
01:04:29With Brad's help
01:04:30Just a little more
01:04:32And I'll have enough for mom's surgery
01:04:41Excellent work
01:04:42As always Mia
01:04:46And I'll have enough for you
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.
01:06:13Not me.
01:06:15It's not my fault that he hates you.
01:06:17Please.
01:06:18If it weren't for your little love letters, he wouldn't even know she exists.
01:06:22You're seriously blaming this on me because he doesn't want to be with you?
01:06:26You need help.
01:06:31Give it back.
01:06:32Excuse me.
01:06:33What are you doing?
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.
01:06:42No.
01:06:53You're going to regret that.
01:06:55Help!
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.
01:07:14Two 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.
01:07:32I 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?
01:07:59At this rate, it'll take me a decade to earn the money back.
01:08:04Oh my goodness.
01:08:08Desk rat slinging wieners and beef.
01:08:11It's pretty on point.
01:08:12Leave me alone.
01:08:13Why?
01:08:15You got any footlongs here or is that pro bono just for the faculty?
01:08:20Get out of here.
01:08:21What are you doing?
01:08:23Hmm.
01:08:25Oops.
01:08:28You 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.
01:08:38This comes out of your paycheck.
01:08:39What?
01:08:40I...
01:08:42I'm so sorry.
01:08:48I'm...
01:08:50I don't...
01:08:51I don't...
01:08:52I don't...
01:08:53I don't...
01:08:57You're lucky she got you to the hospital in time.
01:09:01Who?
01:09:03Mia.
01:09:04She drove you.
01:09:05No.
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.
01:09:21Oh, I know.
01:09:22The way they realized they'd loved each other all along.
01:09:25Right.
01:09:26After three conversations and a kiss in the rain.
01:09:28I don't know what I'm doing.
01:09:29Very realistic.
01:09:32It's romantic.
01:09:34It'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.

01:19:52Please 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.
01:20:06Oh, wow.
01:20:06Um, good afternoon, everyone.
01:20:10Um, I had a whole speech planned about hard work and dedication and all the usual stuff
01:20:19you're supposed to say.
01:20:21I've spent so much of my life writing words for other people.
01:20:25It feels wrong not to write this 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 and terrifying.
01:20:44And it makes you mess up over and over and over again.
01:20:51Because suddenly, someone else's happiness matters more than your own.
01:20:58And sometimes the scariest part isn't even falling for someone.
01:21:02It's letting them see you.
01:21:05All of you.
01:21:06And trusting that they won't walk away.
01:21:09I spent so much time writing stories for everyone else.
01:21:14I think it's time I write my own.
01:21:17Congratulations, class of 2025.
01:21:20Oh, God.
01:21:21It's time I take my own advice.
01:21:23Bye.
01:21:25What the heck?
01:21:26Well, the show must go on, everyone.
01:21:28We have our next runner-up valedictorian, Chloe Hartwell.
01:21:37Brad.
01:21:40Yeah?
01:21:40What are you doing?
01:21:41You'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 going to 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.
01:22:50And 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.
01:23:10You're the same.
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.
01:25:03That'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?
01:25:17Not too bad, huh?
01:25:19Not too bad.
01:25:39Not too bad.
01:25:48So, what now?
01:25:52Anything.
01:25:54Everything.
01:25:55Sounds terrifying.
01:25:57Not 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.
01:26:20Yeah.
01:26:24Hold on.
01:26:26Don't let me down.
01:26:28Hopefully you feel it too.
01:26:30Just give me a sigh.
01:26:32Cause I know, I know it ain't over
01:26:39I want to next time
01:26:42Hold on, darling, don't let me go
01:26:45I wanna stay through this, so just hold me close
01:26:50Cause I know, I know it ain't over
01:26:55You feel it too right
01:26:57So I want to next time
01:27:00I'll leave alone, I'm just like that
01:27:02I'm back to being sober
01:27:04We'll leave it all on set
01:27:06Cause this way
