00:00:07Oh my god, is that Alex? Damn, no wonder he's taught the most
00:00:13available list three years from me. Yeah, rich daddy on the school board, innit?
00:00:18Today's the student president election, no chance anyone beats him.
00:00:23Who am I up against again? Any dirt? Xavier Miller, scholarship kid, geeky, fit
00:00:28though. Number two on the bangable list? A bit of a loner. Never heard of him.
00:00:34I told you, don't come home without the cash. We need the money.
00:00:41Hey, this is Saint Mountain College, not a fucking pub.
00:00:48Fine, but you won't outrun us.
00:00:57You okay, bro?
00:01:12Hi. Not even a thanks? At least give me your name.
00:01:15No, I'm Horton. Yeah, I'm Xavier.
00:01:21All right, Xavier. See you at the debate.
00:01:30Let's begin.
00:01:32The football kit budget was inflated 230 percent, money that could have paid for transport for
00:01:38students working late.
00:01:52Are you accusing my dad of corruption?
00:01:54I'm just stating facts.
00:01:56Let's take a five minute recess.
00:02:02Here's another fact. That extra money went towards donating equipment to underprivileged kids.
00:02:07It just made me look like a total of a jerk for no reason.
00:02:12Just to make money, just to make money is not a big belt.
00:02:17Oh God.
00:02:18Oh, no!
00:02:18Ahhhh!
00:02:26Oh!
00:02:29No, no, no!
00:02:33Oh yeah.
00:02:34Oh, no, no!
00:02:34Oh, no, no!
00:02:34Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:02:34Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:02:38You don't have to have to go somewhere.
00:02:39He's screaming right now! This is unreal!
00:02:48What the actual fuck?
00:02:55Well, that was unexpected.
00:02:58Did Alex just guess that dude? I saw he hates gays.
00:03:02First corruption, now this. Yikes, Alex Watson cancelled for real.
00:03:20Get me everything on him, and I mean everything.
00:03:36I just sold the damn house.
00:03:39What? You had no right, it was all mom left us.
00:03:43Where would we live then?
00:03:44You know what you old man beatin' the death by lunch socks?
00:03:48I need the money!
00:03:55How about quitting the booze and gambling instead of wrecking our lives?
00:04:108 o'clock tonight. School cafe. Got a proposal that could fix your money issues.
00:04:25Whatever this is, make it quick.
00:04:28I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:04:41What? Were you expecting flowers and chocolates?
00:04:49A contract? You're seriously trying to hire me as your fake boyfriend?
00:04:53Real romantic, Watson.
00:04:56Let's call it a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:04:59You clearly need the money.
00:05:03I need to fix my reputation.
00:05:05Dating the school scholarship golden boy is exactly the type of image boost I need right now.
00:05:12You investigated me.
00:05:15Call it damage control.
00:05:17You made me look shady in front of the entire school.
00:05:19Now you need to fix it.
00:05:21If it weren't for the homophobia rumors taking your poll numbers, would you still wanna date a guy?
00:05:29Hell no!
00:05:30This is just business.
00:05:37Duration.
00:05:38Until the election's over.
00:05:44Just keep it professional, Watson. Don't get any ideas.
00:05:51Trust me. Feelings aren't on the menu.
00:05:59Let the games begin.
00:06:02Boyfriend.
00:06:09Boyfriend.
00:06:16You can drop the act now.
00:06:18No one's watching.
00:06:19Tell that to your heart rate.
00:06:20It jumped like crazy back there, huh?
00:06:23Whatever, Emily.
00:06:24Who said we were finished?
00:06:26We have a frat party to hit.
00:06:28Time to show off St. Mountain's new favorite couple.
00:06:38Is this part of your PR stunt too?
00:06:41Obviously.
00:06:42One accidental kiss isn't going to sell this romance.
00:06:46It's make it believable.
00:06:48Hey, everybody, look!
00:06:49It's our star quarterback with his cute and nerdy boyfriend.
00:06:51Ooh!
00:06:53You are lame, Watson.
00:06:55You know what that means, benefit, right?
00:06:57How it makes it.
00:06:59All right, boys.
00:07:04Rules are simple.
00:07:06Ice cubes go mouth to mouth.
00:07:09No hands.
00:07:11No drop.
00:07:12Come on, guys.
00:07:14Come on, come on, come on.
00:07:16Come on, come on.
00:07:17Do it, do it, do it, do it.
00:07:22Do it, do it, do it.
00:07:24Come on, come on.
00:07:25Yeah!
00:07:27Do we really have to do this?
00:07:30Scoot?
00:07:34Oh my gosh!
00:07:36Oh my gosh!
00:07:44Technically, this isn't sanitary.
00:07:46Oh my gosh!
00:08:03Oh my gosh!
00:08:05Oh my gosh!
00:08:06Oh my gosh!
00:08:06Oh my gosh!
00:08:06Technically, this isn't sanitary.
00:08:07That wasn't happening!
00:08:08That was street outfitting him!
00:08:10Little cat's cleaver is turning into a tomato, bro.
00:08:15What the hell is wrong, kid?
00:08:17We need people to buy this, right?
00:08:28What's this?
00:08:29Extra credit homework?
00:08:30Our campaign team thinks we're lack couple chemistry.
00:08:33Voters aren't convinced.
00:08:40Pro tip genius.
00:08:41Kissing with your eyes open.
00:08:43It's a major giveaway.
00:08:48Statistically, voters want sparks, not stats.
00:08:52Marks already set by livestream.
00:08:54Time to show the world how in love we are.
00:08:57Do you even think to ask me first?
00:09:00The contract clearly says you have to do as I say.
00:09:07Make sure you get this.
00:09:08My robot boyfriend is looking again.
00:09:11Achoo!
00:09:14What are you so worked up about?
00:09:21You need a shower.
00:09:24Fine.
00:09:25But you are coming with me.
00:09:27And Marks livestreamed the whole thing.
00:09:29Try to show off his acting chops.
00:09:36It's so nice.
00:09:51Mines grabbing me a towel?
00:09:54Ever thought of grabbing one before the strip show?
00:09:56I mean, I could just walk out naked.
00:10:14What?
00:10:16Why is she shy all of a sudden?
00:10:20Want a better lift?
00:10:36I won't stop you.
00:10:49Guys, someone forgot to end the stream lol!
00:10:51You're not even pretending to hide it anymore!
00:10:53Mark my words, I'll expose the truth about these two.
00:11:01By popular demand, you asked, we answered, first question.
00:11:07What was your first impression of each other?
00:11:10He's loud?
00:11:12Seriously?
00:11:13My first impression of you was, who's this mysterious nerd calling me out in front of everyone?
00:11:19Harsh, but I gotta admit, kinda cute.
00:11:24So loud.
00:11:26Next question.
00:11:27What is your favorite thing about each other?
00:11:31I don't know.
00:11:33Your sense of responsibility, maybe.
00:11:38My turn.
00:11:40His fingers.
00:11:42Long, elegant, very skilled.
00:11:48Uh, next question.
00:11:49And, oh, who is your most unforgettable kiss?
00:12:06Guys!
00:12:09We've got a huge problem.
00:12:10Someone leaked the contract.
00:12:11Everybody knows you're faking it!
00:12:34The final debate is in three days.
00:12:36If we don't turn things around fast, you're finished.
00:12:39I know, dammit.
00:12:41I already have people tracing the hack.
00:12:43Whoever leaked that file is dead.
00:12:45What are our options?
00:12:47I mean, everybody's already seen the contract.
00:12:50There's no denying it.
00:12:53Unless...
00:12:53Unless what?
00:13:00Unless we make it real.
00:13:05Save.
00:13:11I don't care if the contract was fake.
00:13:14All I know is that at some point it stopped being pretend for me.
00:13:17I couldn't stand you at first.
00:13:18Typical quarterback, arrogant, full of yourself.
00:13:22But then I saw you after practice.
00:13:24How you push yourself harder than anybody else.
00:13:27How you'd take the fall for your teammates.
00:13:29How you'd look at me in class.
00:13:32Do you honestly think I could have faked it this whole time?
00:13:36Make safety in.
00:13:44Hackers hook into your laptop.
00:13:46Hold people's watching this scene right now.
00:13:48Oh my god!
00:13:49Exgeben, use your hashtag cancel balance.
00:13:52I'm shipping these two hard.
00:14:11I can fake confidence during debates, smile through press conferences, even pretend to
00:14:18care about school traditions I've never liked. But this? I could never fake this. Maybe it started
00:14:27off as just a deal, but now, every word I said has been true.
00:14:32Wait, Alex is going to be serious. You can't do that.
00:14:36We'll love to fix it. Alex approval plus 12 percent. Cut. That was perfect.
00:14:45Well, at least the votes won't take now. I've done my bit.
00:14:52Just doing what we agreed. But seeing you hurt was never part of the deal.
00:15:02I owe you, Xavier. Whatever happens with this election.
00:15:07It's nothing. Just sticking to the script, right?
00:15:11You sure that's all this is? No hidden feelings?
00:15:16Oh my god, you never stopped, do you?
00:15:20It's a dead end on the hacker. Whoever it was bounced through multiple VPNs.
00:15:25Great. I'm dealing with the prep.
00:15:28Yeah. And everyone's eyes is on YouTube now. So every look, every moment, it has to feel authentic.
00:15:36Who's got this?
00:15:40Dammit. I left my football gear home. School paper shoots tomorrow. Come with?
00:15:47Sure. Like, I've got nothing better to do.
00:15:52Okay. Something's definitely going on between those two.
00:16:02Wow.
00:16:07This is your average family home?
00:16:10It's my dad's place. Not mine.
00:16:13Meaning?
00:16:15I have an older half-brother. My dad's big on competition.
00:16:20If I want any part of the family fortune, I have to beat him.
00:16:26Winning the election is just step one.
00:16:28Keep your family drama to yourself. I'm not your therapist.
00:16:34Seriously?
00:16:36Weren't you the one who insisted we make this believable?
00:16:41Fine.
00:16:42I'll keep your sad, rich boy drama in mind.
00:16:48Wait here. I'm gonna go grab my Jesse.
00:16:50Read a book or something.
00:17:04Wow. Didn't expect to see you here.
00:17:08Sorry, do I know you?
00:17:14You must be Xavier, the famous boyfriend.
00:17:23And you are?
00:17:26Noah.
00:17:27Alex's older brother.
00:17:30Oh? Cold shoulder.
00:17:33Ouch.
00:17:34Shhh.
00:17:35So?
00:17:36Has Alex's fiancé met you yet?
00:17:41Fiancé?
00:17:42Oh?
00:17:43You conveniently left that detail out.
00:17:48This whole fake boyfriend thing, he's done it before, you know.
00:17:51Left quite a trail of broken hearts.
00:17:54What are you implying?
00:17:56Alex, he...
00:17:57doesn't date guys.
00:18:00He'll only end up getting hurt.
00:18:02You deserve...
00:18:05someone better.
00:18:06Someone like...
00:18:09me.
00:18:10Seriously insane.
00:18:12Just gay.
00:18:13And observant.
00:18:16Let's not pretend you're straight either, sweetheart.
00:18:20Back off.
00:18:25Back off.
00:18:27I'm not.
00:18:29Then why are you shaking?
00:18:33You're seriously messed up.
00:18:36Takes one to know one, honey.
00:18:39You can't lie to yourself forever.
00:18:42Yeah.
00:18:43Alex can offer you fame.
00:18:45Fortune.
00:18:47All the...
00:18:48shiny things.
00:18:50But I...
00:18:51can offer you something he never could.
00:18:55Something...
00:18:56real.
00:18:59Get off me!
00:19:02What the fuck are you doing?
00:19:05Nice diving, little brother.
00:19:08Stay the hell away from him, you hear me?
00:19:12Relax.
00:19:18Relax.
00:19:19Just a little bit of healthy competition, that's all.
00:19:23We'll be seeing each other again real soon.
00:19:26I can feel it.
00:19:27Asshole.
00:19:28No.
00:19:32Get out!
00:19:41I don't believe a word he says.
00:19:44Noah thrives on chaos.
00:19:48Including the part about your fiancé?
00:19:56It's an arranged thing.
00:19:58My dad's idea.
00:20:00Honestly, I barely even know her.
00:20:02You don't owe me any explanations, Alex.
00:20:06I'm just part of your PR stunt, right?
00:20:10Is that really all this is to him?
00:20:13Right.
00:20:14You're...
00:20:15absolutely right.
00:20:17I'm heading back.
00:20:20Wait.
00:20:21It's late.
00:20:22Just...
00:20:23stay here.
00:20:24The guest room is empty.
00:20:26I don't typically stay over.
00:20:28Fine.
00:20:29I'll drive.
00:20:39I'll drive.
00:20:39Hello?
00:20:40Congrats, kid!
00:20:41You're officially homeless.
00:20:43Don't bother coming back.
00:20:45You're on your own now.
00:20:50Actually...
00:20:51Maybe I'll take you up on that offer.
00:20:54Best decision you'll ever make.
00:20:57Straight to your room.
00:20:58Or mine, if you prefer.
00:21:07You know...
00:21:08I always dreamed of going pro.
00:21:12NFL.
00:21:14Not surprised.
00:21:17You're football crazy.
00:21:18I was a quarterback.
00:21:21One state.
00:21:23But my dad...
00:21:26He had other ideas.
00:21:28He said a Watson doesn't waste his future throwing a ball around.
00:21:34So...
00:21:37I became the perfect son.
00:21:40Straight A's.
00:21:42Student body president.
00:21:46Just...
00:21:48Hoping...
00:21:49He'd let me play football again.
00:21:58Your turn.
00:22:00Secret for secret.
00:22:03I've seen enough.
00:22:07My dad...
00:22:08Is a gambler.
00:22:10My family's a mess.
00:22:13There's nothing more to tell.
00:22:17I don't buy it.
00:22:19You've got a bigger secret than that one.
00:22:23One you're afraid to say out loud.
00:22:28Tell me.
00:22:31It can be our little secret.
00:22:45I want to be the only one you do.
00:22:48Let's not pretend you're straight out of this, sweetheart.
00:22:52You're wasted.
00:22:55So sleep it off.
00:22:58I'm taking a shower.
00:23:23I'm taking a shower.
00:23:27I don't know what to say.
00:23:35Alex, he doesn't date guys.
00:23:40He'll only end up getting hurt.
00:23:58The real secret is...
00:24:01I fell for someone I wasn't supposed to.
00:24:12Alex...
00:24:13Don't die.
00:24:18You really shouldn't.
00:24:21Stay, please.
00:24:40I know your secret.
00:24:44What secret?
00:24:49It's about me, isn't it?
00:24:59Alex, tell me everything.
00:25:27It's just a dream.
00:25:30Don't you...
00:25:34Alex, look up.
00:25:36You stay.
00:25:37You stay.
00:25:58Alex!
00:26:03Since when did you become Mr. Homemaker?
00:26:06I had to impress you somehow.
00:26:08Breakfast is a solid strategy.
00:26:20Check it out.
00:26:23Chef Alex's world-famous grilled cheese.
00:26:27Michelin star pending.
00:26:30I...
00:26:31To survive a crime scene?
00:26:33Hey, I aced sandwich baking class at summer camp.
00:26:47Well...
00:26:50It tastes better than it looks.
00:26:52So?
00:26:53Am I boyfriend material or what?
00:27:08Hey, baby.
00:27:10Can't wait to see you at St. Manon today.
00:27:13Mr. Locke.
00:27:14Your fiance.
00:27:16Alex, he...
00:27:17doesn't date guys.
00:27:20You'll only end up getting hurt.
00:27:22Hey. You okay?
00:27:25You can drop the act now.
00:27:28No one's around here to impress.
00:27:31What's that supposed to mean?
00:27:37Forget it. I'm heading to the library.
00:27:41Xavier, wait. You didn't even eat anything.
00:27:48Come on.
00:27:52Damn it. You're John's kids, right?
00:27:54Your dad owes me a lot of money.
00:27:57He sold the house. The debt should be cleared.
00:27:59But he didn't pay me a single cent?
00:28:02Oh shit. ODP's that old bastard.
00:28:05You're a kid. Either you settle his debt,
00:28:08or I'll start taking pieces.
00:28:10That's between you and him.
00:28:12Leave me out of it.
00:28:15Ow! Ow!
00:28:17You're definitely involved now.
00:28:28Back off, asshole.
00:28:30What the fuck?
00:28:31Touch him again and you're dead.
00:28:37Two grams. Two days on the old man. He shot a kidney.
00:28:44You okay?
00:28:46Are you okay?
00:28:51Am I okay?
00:28:52Look at your face.
00:28:54You idiot. Why did you do that?
00:28:57I've gone a bit overboard.
00:29:03You need to go to the hospital now.
00:29:05Come on.
00:29:08It looks like an old fracture has reopened.
00:29:12You need to rest.
00:29:14And no more football for the rest of the season.
00:29:19Or maybe forever.
00:29:25I just wrecked your whole future.
00:29:28Your entire dream.
00:29:32You matter way more than fun.
00:29:34You're seriously insane.
00:29:39Well, since this is technically your fault,
00:29:43you definitely owe me, right?
00:29:47And what exactly do you want?
00:29:50Move in with me.
00:29:51You can be my personal nurse.
00:29:58Fine.
00:29:59I guess it's the least I could do.
00:30:07Feed me.
00:30:08No, absolutely not.
00:30:17Okay, fine.
00:30:19One bite. That's it.
00:30:22Here begins your life as my caretaker.
00:30:36You bite now?
00:30:38You started it.
00:30:40Then I have to finish it one time.
00:30:42One bite.
00:30:47And remember, no strenuous activity.
00:30:51Especially involving your shoulder.
00:30:54What if Xavier's on top?
00:30:59Kids these days.
00:31:03You are impossible.
00:31:06Hey, this is a love story, babe.
00:31:09Understanding character.
00:31:10Fine.
00:31:11If that's what it takes.
00:31:22Welcome home, babe.
00:31:26One arm.
00:31:27Wet floor.
00:31:29Potential drowning hazard.
00:31:31Will help.
00:31:33Nice try.
00:31:34You'll manage.
00:31:54You're unbelievable.
00:31:56Unbelievably charming, maybe.
00:32:06Stop it.
00:32:07Put your clothes back on.
00:32:10You're blushing.
00:32:13No, I'm not.
00:32:16Hold this.
00:32:18If it drops.
00:32:20I'll take it as a sign you want me.
00:32:27You really are insane.
00:32:33You can start here.
00:32:40Careful.
00:32:42My scalp's more fragile than my reputation.
00:32:44Shut up.
00:32:46We're getting it all done.
00:33:00It's on the stage.
00:33:09We're just sitting there.
00:33:10We're getting it.
00:33:11We're getting the children out there.
00:33:12We're getting to the dogs.
00:33:15We're getting to the dogs out there.
00:33:17No, I stuck around because I felt bad for you, and this is how you treat me.
00:33:27Did I overreact?
00:33:31I'm sorry, okay?
00:33:34But...
00:33:36What if I actually fell in love with you?
00:33:44What if I actually fell in love with you?
00:33:50I thought I hated you.
00:33:53Turns out, I just hated how much I wanted you.
00:33:58Unless we make it real.
00:34:04At first, I just wanted the rumors to stop.
00:34:12Signing that stupid contract felt like my only choice.
00:34:18Then...
00:34:19When everything fell apart...
00:34:23When I started losing the election, you stepped in.
00:34:27Hackerbrook into your laptop.
00:34:29You didn't have to, but you saved me.
00:34:32What the fuck are you doing?!
00:34:34And when I saw him back close to you...
00:34:37It hurt more than losing my damn election ever could.
00:34:45So...
00:34:47Would you consider making this real with me?
00:35:04For Capricorn?
00:35:07I could have resolved...
00:35:12You can have an Isaac.
00:35:18I wish you...
00:35:47Oh, you're driving me crazy.
00:35:50Oh, you're driving me crazy.
00:36:32Good morning, sleeping beauty.
00:36:35I caught you stealing kisses.
00:36:37You know, it's a serious crime.
00:36:41You're just going to have to arrest me then, officer.
00:36:45You are way too addictive.
00:36:49I need rehab.
00:36:53Sorry. No can do.
00:36:57We've got a campaign to salvage. Interviews lined up.
00:37:02You're currently wearing exactly zero clothes.
00:37:10Sounds like you prefer me dressed. Disappointing.
00:37:15I prefer you elected, aren't you?
00:37:27Dude, your poll numbers went way up after that speech.
00:37:31I mean, check this out.
00:37:32Your practically senior year Tom Holland.
00:37:34Charming, relatable, but still hot enough for thirst edits.
00:37:38So you're saying my chances are looking good again.
00:37:41Dude, you are literally back up to number one.
00:37:43It's all positive comments.
00:37:45But how did you pull this off?
00:37:47I mean, Xavier used to be against this whole thing.
00:37:50Now you've got him editing your speeches, organizing your life.
00:37:54Maybe because we're actually together.
00:37:56I was going to say he was like your mom, but yeah, lovers works too.
00:38:02What kind of black magic witchcraft did you pull to get Mr. Sheldon Cooper to fake date you?
00:38:12I didn't pull anything. I literally just fell for him.
00:38:21I caught feelings for him. That's really all it is.
00:38:24Wait, so you and him?
00:38:29Started fake, got real.
00:38:30But he's Xavier Miller.
00:38:33I mean, he's practically an AI bot with a built-in firewall.
00:38:36Totally unreadable.
00:38:37That's just a surface code.
00:38:39You gotta go deeper.
00:38:41But look, I'm just saying it would make way more sense if he were using you for something.
00:38:47For what exactly?
00:38:49Don't forget, Ro used to be your biggest competitor.
00:38:53If this is some sort of long con and he flips on you at the last second...
00:38:58Nobody's that gonna fake you.
00:39:00I trust him.
00:39:08Hey, babe. We were just talking about you.
00:39:20Oh, God. It's actually real.
00:39:32Job hunting?
00:39:34You don't need to pay me back. I thought I made that clear.
00:39:39I know you don't have to worry about this stuff, but I do.
00:39:42It's just planning ahead.
00:39:44Figuring things out for myself.
00:39:46Well, the only thing we need to figure out right now is how to get some sleep.
00:39:57Seriously?
00:39:59Can you ever sleep like a normal person?
00:40:02Normal's boring. I'm one of the kind.
00:40:07I know you're pressing the mood.
00:40:09Make me.
00:40:13Make me.
00:40:45Hey, it's wrapped up practice. Thought I'd swing by and pick you up. We can go home together.
00:40:50Swing by? You're half the city away.
00:40:53Fine. You got me. I missed you. Plus, I'm starving and only your pasta would do.
00:40:58I'm actually tempted to clock out right now.
00:41:03Customer. Gotta go. See you at home.
00:41:06Hey, welcome. What can I get you?
00:41:08Coffee. Black.
00:41:09And a little bit of you.
00:41:11What are you doing here?
00:41:13Had some business nearby. Better drop in.
00:41:18One block coffee coming up.
00:41:21By the way, uh, did you hear?
00:41:24Apparently, uh, Alex is planning on dumping your ass.
00:41:28Excuse me?
00:41:29His fiance is flying in next week.
00:41:32Yeah. Our dad arranged everything.
00:41:34Apparently, he sees you out of the picture.
00:41:38So...
00:41:44Enjoy.
00:41:46Thanks.
00:41:48You can call me anytime sexy.
00:42:05Great. Just what we need right now.
00:42:10So I know I'm leaving. Is he bothering you again?
00:42:13Same old stirring the pot.
00:42:16Though he did mention your fiance is flying in next week.
00:42:22Hmm.
00:42:24So it's true.
00:42:25I was going to tell you once things were sorted.
00:42:27I just didn't want to stress you out.
00:42:30What? So now I'm just some fragile little thing that you need to protect?
00:42:34Listen, I don't even know her.
00:42:36She's just some random girl my dad set me up with.
00:42:39So why keep it a secret then? What's the point?
00:42:42I was just...
00:42:46Scared of losing you.
00:42:51Let's get out of here.
00:42:53So...
00:42:54We're good?
00:42:55No.
00:42:58But...
00:42:58We still got roles to play and right now I need my boyfriend costume.
00:43:07I'll go in first. You park the car.
00:43:09Not even a goodbye kiss?
00:43:26Hey, I have an appointment. A friend booked it for me.
00:43:29Appointment must be confirmed by the client directly.
00:43:33And no offense, but you don't exactly fit our typical clientele.
00:43:42So judgy.
00:43:44Sheesh.
00:43:46Delighted to see you, Miss Brown. How can I help you today?
00:43:50You're Alex's friend, right?
00:43:53Yeah.
00:43:56Serve him.
00:43:57But he doesn't have...
00:43:58Do you want to keep your job?
00:44:01Right this way, sir.
00:44:04Thanks.
00:44:06You don't happen to be a friend of Alex's too?
00:44:13Something like that.
00:44:15He wouldn't be thanking me if he knew I was Alex's fiancee.
00:44:27Mr. Watson, a pleasure as always. Can I assist you with our new collection?
00:44:34Actually, I'm here shopping for my boyfriend.
00:44:38Really?
00:44:39Do you want to announce a gentleman?
00:44:41I can tweet it out if you prefer.
00:44:44Absolutely delighted to assist you both today.
00:44:47Step one to looking like you have your shit together.
00:44:50A suit that actually fits.
00:44:52This one was made for you.
00:44:54Try it on.
00:44:58Why do I need a suit?
00:44:59It's you who's running for student body president.
00:45:02No, we both are.
00:45:05To the fitting room.
00:45:12What?
00:45:14It's a Valro cut.
00:45:16Flawless.
00:45:17And now, the right pair of kicks to pull it all together.
00:45:25You don't have to do that.
00:45:27I want to.
00:45:28Because you're worth it.
00:45:36Looking good.
00:45:38Just need a touch more tailoring.
00:45:52Lose the jacket.
00:45:53Wait, what are you doing?
00:45:55Relax.
00:45:56I'm not going to eat here.
00:45:58Just measuring.
00:46:08You don't have to.
00:46:09Hold it.
00:46:13Try and wait.
00:46:15I'm not going to eat here.
00:46:1630-inch waist?
00:46:18Someone needs some carbs in your life.
00:46:21Stop that.
00:46:22I want you.
00:46:23Then I guess I just have to kiss you.
00:46:25Until you forget it.
00:46:30Mr. Watson, your suit is ready.
00:46:34Thanks, just leave it out there.
00:46:44Smile.
00:46:53The truth always comes out.
00:47:00Mark?
00:47:01What's up?
00:47:02Emergency. Get to school right now. Things just blew up.
00:47:11Finally, come here!
00:47:12Did someone leak the contract again or something?
00:47:14Worse. We have a new opponent and she is rising fast at him.
00:47:17We have to do something.
00:47:19She?
00:47:19Yeah. Laura Brown, the daughter of a crime family billionaire.
00:47:24Laura.
00:47:24Wait, you know her?
00:47:25At the tailor shop, she acted like she knew you.
00:47:28She does.
00:47:31She's my fiancee.
00:47:33Fiancee?
00:47:34When were you planning on telling us?
00:47:36It was arranged by my dad. I honestly really know her.
00:47:38Well, she seems to know plenty about you two.
00:47:41She's transferred in. She's charming the hell out of everyone.
00:47:44And your numbers are dropping fast.
00:47:46This can't just be a coincidence.
00:47:48Exactly. It isn't.
00:47:49She's transferred in and it's not just about winning the election.
00:47:52This is personal.
00:47:54If they find out about the arranged marriage, it's game over.
00:47:58She'll win by a month.
00:47:59Unless we find a crack in her game.
00:48:01We don't have time for that. Let me handle her.
00:48:04Sounds exciting.
00:48:08Why are you doing this?
00:48:10Maybe because you've got a secret boyfriend?
00:48:14As far as I'm concerned, we only met once.
00:48:17It was to get our parents off our backs.
00:48:19Nothing more.
00:48:19You sure you don't want to give me another shot?
00:48:21I'm way more interesting than...
00:48:25You want a fair fight? Fine.
00:48:27But play dirty again?
00:48:28I'll stop being so lonely.
00:48:35Big words.
00:48:38We'll see how long that confidence lasts.
00:48:54No. Hey. Get out.
00:48:56You're not welcome here.
00:48:58Relax.
00:48:59I'm just here to chat.
00:49:01You want to get into grad school at Princeton, right?
00:49:06Lifelong dream?
00:49:08Well, this is signed by the Vice President.
00:49:13Guaranteed entry.
00:49:17No.
00:49:20You're bribing me.
00:49:21I'm not going to fall for it.
00:49:24I figured you'd say that.
00:49:26But my dad, he doesn't take no well.
00:49:30And your dad, poor John, he owes people money.
00:49:35People who don't take kindly to being ignored.
00:49:39Leave my father out of this.
00:49:42And don't force me to call in favors.
00:49:47Relax.
00:49:49Relax.
00:49:49I'm not going to steal your boyfriend.
00:49:51Just...
00:49:52Showing you a better future.
00:49:55Love is overrated anyway.
00:49:59It may be to you.
00:50:01To Alex, too.
00:50:06By the way, has he wished you happy birthday?
00:50:09Yeah.
00:50:20You need a lift?
00:50:21It cost you a bottle of water from the trunk.
00:50:24Fine.
00:50:25He doesn't even know it's my birthday.
00:50:33Happy birthday, babe.
00:50:42Now, you can finally type the letter M with any left, happy birthday.
00:50:45Thanks, Alex.
00:50:47Hop in.
00:50:48There's more I wish you were.
00:50:59I know you're not big on surprises, but I couldn't help myself.
00:51:03I don't mind them if they're from you.
00:51:09Listen.
00:51:11I'm not a romantic.
00:51:13I'm not going to play a violin outside your window or write you poetry.
00:51:19Hey, you bought me a laptop.
00:51:21I'd say that's pretty romantic.
00:51:23And practical.
00:51:25Point is...
00:51:28I mean this.
00:51:30Us.
00:51:31I'm all in.
00:51:32For real.
00:51:35I don't need violin serenades or poetry.
00:51:39I just need you.
00:51:40I don't know.
00:51:42You've got me.
00:51:54Let's go back to yours.
00:52:01What'd you do if I got a lift right now?
00:52:03I'd cry like an idiot.
00:52:05So don't even think about it.
00:52:24Babe.
00:52:25That's supposed to help you ace exams.
00:52:28Not interrupt morning cuddles.
00:52:30I tracked the Truth Hunter account that leaked our contract.
00:52:34It's someone local.
00:52:37It's gotta be someone at school.
00:52:40Anything more?
00:52:42They accidentally switched their webcam on.
00:52:48Laura?
00:53:00She's breaking all sorts of privacy laws here.
00:53:03We should expose her.
00:53:05If we do that, she'll twist it.
00:53:07Make us look like the bullies.
00:53:08What else can we do?
00:53:09If people find out about our engagement, they'll believe her side.
00:53:13It's technically true.
00:53:13I am engaged.
00:53:14Then why?
00:53:18Hey, I have an idea.
00:53:21How about some viral couples TikToks?
00:53:24Wholesome stuff?
00:53:25Charity angle?
00:53:26I mean, that works well.
00:53:30Fine.
00:53:32Let's do it.
00:53:43You did that on purpose.
00:53:45Yep.
00:54:04Perfect, and cut!
00:54:07Next up, book donations for underprivileged kids.
00:54:12Today we are joined by the viral campus couple Alex Watson and Xavier Miller.
00:54:17Welcome.
00:54:18Hey everyone, happy to be here.
00:54:20First question blowing up the chat, why did you guys join this project?
00:54:24Growing up books were my only escape.
00:54:27Reading helped me get through some tough times.
00:54:29It's important for me to pass that on.
00:54:31Plus, it's like the only thing we'd never fight about.
00:54:35Hey guys, sorry to interrupt.
00:54:39I'm Alex's friend.
00:54:42Quick question from the comments.
00:54:44Since you're both queer, thoughts on gay guys marrying girls?
00:54:49Like is it just doing what you gotta do or is there more to it?
00:55:14What the fuck is going on?
00:55:18Who's lying?
00:55:19Good question.
00:55:21Maybe there's more going on than people think.
00:55:23What's worse?
00:55:25People keeping secrets or people leaking them anonymously?
00:55:31Touché.
00:55:35Hey!
00:55:36Alright!
00:55:37Back on track!
00:55:39Xavier, what's your favorite childhood book?
00:55:42The Hobbit.
00:55:44The Hobbit.
00:55:45Uh, growing up I always wanted my own cozy little Hobbit hole.
00:55:51What the hell are you doing?
00:55:53Are you trying to ruin-
00:56:04Are you out of your mind?
00:56:06I'm your fiancé.
00:56:07There's just one little kiss, what's the big deal?
00:56:09You and I both know that this engagement would never happen.
00:56:14Using a fake relationship just to win votes?
00:56:18That's pathetic.
00:56:19Even for you.
00:56:21Xavier and I don't need your approval.
00:56:24Threatening him behind my back?
00:56:26That's crossing the line.
00:56:28Good.
00:56:29Maybe you should keep a better eye on him.
00:56:31Next time, things might get uglier.
00:56:34What exactly is it that you've won for me more?
00:56:37Everything that I'm entitled to.
00:56:47Xavier, get to the shop right now.
00:56:50Why? What's wrong?
00:56:57Fuck my life.
00:57:06He threatened to smash the windows if you didn't show.
00:57:09Scared off every customer we had.
00:57:10I'm sorry, I'll handle it. Just give me a minute.
00:57:13No, we're done. You're fired. I can't keep dealing with this.
00:57:19What do you want?
00:57:21Why don't you call your rich boyfriend?
00:57:26Uh, what's his name?
00:57:28Alex.
00:57:30Tell him we need some money.
00:57:32Daddy needs a bailout.
00:57:36You sold the home mom left us.
00:57:38You abandoned me.
00:57:40And now you want a bailout?
00:57:42You ungrateful brat.
00:57:45Sleeping with men.
00:57:47Humiliating our family.
00:57:50I should have sold you off when I had the chance.
00:57:54Next time I see you, make sure the syndicate knows exactly where you are.
00:58:02You ungrateful brat.
00:58:03You think you have blood meaner.
00:58:05Just because you got yourself a rich boyfriend.
00:58:08Hey, what the heck? Care of me?
00:58:10I only find you, old man.
00:58:13Who are you?
00:58:14I'm sorry.
00:58:16Please don't hurt me.
00:58:17I'll give you the money.
00:58:18Oh, that's too late for that.
00:58:20Ah, please, please, I'm taking you.
00:58:29Where were you today after the live stream?
00:58:31Just to the library.
00:58:34The library? After what happened?
00:58:37I was going around school, collecting feedback, and I got some ideas that could boost your poll numbers.
00:58:42Can we please not talk about the election right now?
00:58:47I am so tired.
00:58:54So that's it? You're just giving up? Letting your fiancé take over?
00:58:59What's that supposed to mean?
00:59:02Is there something going on with Laura that I should know about?
00:59:07Can we please just not do this right now?
00:59:15Maybe we should take a break.
00:59:19Xavier, wait.
00:59:26I am such an idiot, thinking I actually meant something to him.
00:59:39Oh, Jesus.
00:59:41Mark, where's Alex? I've been calling.
00:59:43He's at the frat house. Last minute vote grabbing. He's not checking his messages.
00:59:48Not even mine.
00:59:50Election day is tomorrow. He's got to be locked in.
00:59:58Are you alright? Do you need help?
01:00:01No. I'm fine. I'll handle it.
01:00:06Of course.
01:00:08He has people, goals, a life. I've only ever had him.
01:00:22What am I supposed to do now?
01:00:29Want to make a deal?
01:00:33Your dad owes money to three different gangs. Including mine.
01:00:38Please don't hurt him. I'll figure something out.
01:00:42You can't afford it.
01:00:44Besides, it's the Genueno family who took him.
01:00:4824 hours to pay up, or they start sending body parts.
01:00:54What am I supposed to do?
01:01:00Sign this, and I'll clear your dad's debt.
01:01:06But, there's one condition.
01:01:09You have to break up with Alex, for good.
01:01:12What?
01:01:17Where was he, when you needed him the most?
01:01:21Can we please not talk about the election right now?
01:01:26I am so tired.
01:01:28I am so tired.
01:01:40Better keep your work.
01:01:43Browns don't lie.
01:01:52Xavier isn't answering my calls.
01:01:54What did you do?
01:01:55Me?
01:01:57I only saved his father's skin, and paid off his debt.
01:02:00He should be thanking me.
01:02:02Debt?
01:02:03What debt?
01:02:05Why didn't Xavier tell me?
01:02:07Maybe because he...
01:02:09dumped you?
01:02:12Made it pretty clear that you're finished.
01:02:17No way.
01:02:19He wouldn't.
01:02:22I need to talk to him.
01:02:34Why did you tell Laura we broke up?
01:02:36Because it's true.
01:02:37Look, the whole reason why I even dated you was to get into Princeton.
01:02:39Laura sorted that out for me.
01:02:41And she bailed my dad out.
01:02:43Our deal's done.
01:02:45So you're dumping me.
01:02:47For a college recommendation.
01:02:49Without her my dad would be dead.
01:02:52And you just throw around the word love while holding a contract over my head.
01:02:58Like I'm just another stunt to boost your votes.
01:03:04Xavier.
01:03:05Stop.
01:03:06This was never about the contract.
01:03:09I love you, okay?
01:03:11Don't push me away.
01:03:13Love.
01:03:14No.
01:03:15I'm just another sob story to you.
01:03:17Up there on your throne treating me like a charity case.
01:03:20I'm done.
01:03:21Yeah.
01:03:23You know that's not true.
01:03:25You know me.
01:03:27Do I?
01:03:30You wake up in silk sheets.
01:03:33While drinking your fancy coffee.
01:03:36I don't even know where I'm gonna sleep tonight.
01:03:40We're worlds apart.
01:03:46Save.
01:03:47Please.
01:03:48Don't do this.
01:03:51Stay away from me, Alex.
01:03:57You make me sick.
01:04:08Get out of my life. We're done.
01:04:14I said get out!
01:04:15I said get out!
01:04:29I'm so sorry, Alex. That was the hardest thing I've ever done.
01:04:35Sign this.
01:04:36Now clear your dad's debt.
01:04:39But...
01:04:40There's one condition.
01:04:43You have to break up with Alex.
01:04:47For good.
01:04:50I can't do that.
01:04:53Imagine I post...
01:04:55A viral TikTok.
01:04:57As the heartbroken fiancé...
01:04:59Betrayed by her closeted boyfriend.
01:05:03Alex won't just lose the election.
01:05:07He'll lose everything.
01:05:11You're twisting the truth.
01:05:14The truth?
01:05:16Is whatever people believe.
01:05:18He's already losing support.
01:05:20And his family's backing is next.
01:05:25Do you really want to just watch him lose everything else?
01:05:29You're dead weight, Xavier.
01:05:32And we both know it.
01:05:34But...
01:05:38My family...
01:05:39Can lift him up.
01:05:42You'll only drag him down.
01:05:46Alex...
01:05:46You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
01:05:50I won't be the reason your life falls apart.
01:05:54So...
01:05:56You got a sign?
01:05:59You better keep your word.
01:06:02Browns don't lie.
01:06:26Did you forget our agreement?
01:06:34You want me to drop out of the election?
01:06:38Fine.
01:06:39In return, you cut off Xavier and introduce me as your fiancé.
01:06:47If not...
01:06:49I'll email every voter the proof that your relationship was fake from the start.
01:06:55You'll lose...
01:06:57Everything.
01:07:08Get...
01:07:09Out.
01:07:20Out.
01:07:20Love or legacy, Alex?
01:07:23Choose wisely.
01:07:34Our deal's done.
01:07:36Stay away from me, Alex.
01:07:42You make me sick.
01:08:03I'm sick.
01:08:06I'm sick.
01:08:08I don't know.
01:08:44Hi, I'm Alex Watson, and today I am standing here as a liar.
01:08:56Xavier Miller and I were in a fake relationship.
01:09:00We signed a contract.
01:09:03Seriously?
01:09:04What a fake.
01:09:05You lied to all of us.
01:09:12It started as fake, but then I fell for him.
01:09:18I've never met anyone like Xavier.
01:09:22Hey!
01:09:23This is Saint Mountain College, not a fucking pub.
01:09:28You okay, bro?
01:09:33He gave me the brush off.
01:09:36Cold as ice.
01:09:40I thought that he was just some arrogant genius who didn't have time for a guy like me.
01:09:49It all started with a stupid on-stage accident.
01:09:56Kiss, I want you to be my boyfriend.
01:10:00You investigated me.
01:10:04Oh my god!
01:10:07We need people to buy this, right?
01:10:11Unless we make it real.
01:10:14You don't have to do that.
01:10:16I want to.
01:10:17Happy birthday, babe.
01:10:19Because you're worth it.
01:10:20Because you're worth it.
01:10:20I mean this.
01:10:22Us.
01:10:23I'm all in.
01:10:23For real.
01:10:25I just need you.
01:10:30Xavier, listen to me.
01:10:33I know you're watching.
01:10:35Fuck the election.
01:10:37Fuck family expectations.
01:10:39Fuck football.
01:10:42None of it matters without you.
01:10:44You are the only thing I have ever truly wanted.
01:10:52You are the only thing I have ever truly wanted.
01:10:59The votes are in and the new student body president is Alex Watson.
01:11:06Alex, come on up and give your speech.
01:11:10Where is he?
01:11:17You're an idiot.
01:11:27What are you doing here?
01:11:28You just won the election.
01:11:29Screw the election.
01:11:31It's you I won.
01:11:34But...
01:11:36You start winning then everything to you.
01:11:39Not if it means losing you.
01:11:48You are such a reckless asshole.
01:11:51But that was pretty sweet.
01:11:54Winning you beats any election.
01:12:00Alright, that line is a solid time.
01:12:10With all this construction, are they building something?
01:12:13Close.
01:12:13It's a dedicated makeout spot.
