00:32:30You're really pretty.
00:32:34I mean, like, you weren't always this pretty.
00:32:39Like, I'll be honest with you.
00:32:41I didn't even realize we were in the same class for a while.
00:32:44Hey, but now, you were, like, really hot.
00:32:51Yeah.
00:32:53Anything else?
00:32:54Uh, what?
00:32:56You, like, trying to confuse me?
00:32:57Mm-hmm.
00:32:57Okay, wait.
00:33:02You're beautiful.
00:33:03Oh, you already said that.
00:33:07Babe, what?
00:33:15You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:33:21You know, Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:33:26I think that's really cool.
00:33:27I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.
00:33:32I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.
00:33:57Look, it's already been a couple days, and she still hasn't responded.
00:34:05I'm pretty sure she hates me.
00:34:07No, it hasn't been that long.
00:34:10Maybe I should just talk to her.
00:34:13No.
00:34:14No, that's not how this works.
00:34:15You need to let her wander.
00:34:18Let her wander, huh?
00:34:19Yeah.
00:34:20Or maybe, or maybe, now hear me out, I could just talk to her and tell her that I like her.
00:34:26And ruin the mystery?
00:34:27Are you sure you put the letter in her locker?
00:34:31Yes.
00:34:32Brad, I'm sure.
00:34:33Look who's back.
00:34:42Desk lot herself.
00:34:44What's in the back, Rat?
00:34:46Another tragic hoodie, or did Goodwill finally cut you off?
00:34:51Don't.
00:34:52Let's see if I did it.
00:34:53Did it back.
00:34:53Let's see.
00:35:03My dearest Chloe.
00:35:05Oh my God, no wonder you're a virgin.
00:35:08Too busy playing for the other team, and so just so much would you get back?
00:35:12Yes?
00:35:13It's not funny, please.
00:35:15Hey.
00:35:18What the hell's going on?
00:35:23Samantha, what the hell is your problem?
00:35:27Give me her bag back right now.
00:35:28Since when do you take charity cases by it over mine?
00:35:32I know you still love me, Brad.
00:35:34Samantha, you and I had a fling for like a minute.
00:35:37And then you started acting like a complete psychopath.
00:35:39You and me are not a thing.
00:35:42So give me her bag back right now.
00:35:47This is all her fault.
00:35:53Brad, you didn't give Chloe the letter.
00:36:04I...
00:36:04Yeah.
00:36:06You lied to me.
00:36:08No.
00:36:08Yeah, you didn't.
00:36:09No, I didn't.
00:36:14No.
00:36:14No.
00:36:23Brad, please.
00:36:52Who is it?
00:36:54It's Brad.
00:36:57Come in.
00:37:10Why didn't you give her the letter?
00:37:13I don't know.
00:37:16Bullshit.
00:37:17I don't.
00:37:18I don't.
00:37:18What, did you want some money?
00:37:20Was that what you were just trying to squeeze some more money out of me?
00:37:22Fuck you, Brad.
00:37:24There must have been a reason.
00:37:26Mia, you're the smartest person I've ever met.
00:37:28I refuse to believe that you just didn't know what you were doing or that it was an accident.
00:37:32Okay, I'm sorry.
00:37:33I'm really sorry, okay?
00:37:34But I can't keep writing for you anymore.
00:37:37You don't understand how hard it is to make someone fall for you when it's not even you.
00:37:40I need you, Mia.
00:37:52I put the letter in Chloe's locker and she wrote back.
00:38:00But I just...
00:38:01I can't read it without me.
00:38:07I'm not doing this anymore.
00:38:08Please.
00:38:14Please.
00:38:15Please.
00:38:15Please.
00:38:17Dear Chloe, I don't know how to tell you what you make me feel without sounding like a total cliché.
00:38:43But when I see you, everything else fades.
00:38:47I like the way that you always bite your pen when you're stuck on a sentence, like you're
00:38:54trying to scare the words into place.
00:38:59I like that you don't try to fit in, you just exist, exactly the way you are.
00:39:11You make the world's chaos quieter just by being in it.
00:39:16You make the world's chaos quieter just by being in it.
00:39:23She wrote back.
00:39:41I'm going to throw up.
00:39:44Okay, let's do it.
00:39:48Dear Stranger, every time I open my locker, my heart sinks if it's empty.
00:39:56Each letter you leave makes the story of my life feel a little more complete.
00:40:01Oh, that's good.
00:40:02But every story has to step off the cage eventually.
00:40:08What if we met?

00:53:49You're actually dumber than I thought.
00:53:52What?

00:53:56You were never special, Dan.
00:53:57I just thought you were.
00:54:00But reality check?
00:54:03You're just another generic jock with a two brain cell capacity and an expiration date.
00:54:08Yeah.
00:54:09Yeah.
00:54:09And years from now, you'll just be that guy at the bar washed up talking about the high school games that nobody remembers.
00:54:18Right here, Dan.
00:54:20Right.
00:54:20Dan, I thought I told you.
00:54:46I don't want another dumb, overbought guys coming.
00:54:49I don't want another dumb, overbought guys coming.
00:54:49I don't want another dumb, overbought guys come.
00:54:52I don't want another long.
00:54:54I don't want another dumb, overbought guys come, and can I talk to you than I do.
00:55:05Good night.
00:55:11Good night.
00:55:41I have zero time or interest in dealing with you.
00:56:02Relax, Descartes. I'm not here to fight.
00:56:05Then what do you want?
00:56:06Imagine my surprise when your dumbass accidentally sends me your personal info straight from the Paper Hearts account.
00:56:15Exhausted much?
00:56:17I have no idea what you're talking about. That's not mine.
00:56:19Come on.
00:56:23Two phones. Weird for a broke little charity case.
00:56:26Get out.
00:56:27No.
00:56:27Smile.
00:56:28Give me my phone back.
00:56:30Holy shit.
00:56:31It's you.
00:56:32You're Paper Hearts.
00:56:33Please.
00:56:33Please, it's me that you can't tell anyone.
00:56:35I'll do your homework, your essays, whatever you want.
00:56:37I don't care about any of that.
00:56:39Then what do you want?
00:56:40I want the truth.
00:56:41Why is Brad always with you?
00:56:47I need to tell him about Samantha.
00:56:52Hey.
00:56:53Hey.
00:56:53Hi.
00:56:54You look beautiful.
00:56:57How was your class?
00:56:58It was good.
00:56:59It was good?
00:56:59Ready for breakfast tonight?
00:57:01Yeah.
00:57:01Hey, Mia.
00:57:03Mia.
00:57:04Hey, I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:57:07Hi, um, Chloe.
00:57:09This is Mia, my good friend.
00:57:12And Mia, this is Chloe, my girlfriend.
00:57:17Hi.
00:57:18Brad talks about you all the time.
00:57:21Yeah, same.
00:57:23Um, I actually had something to tell you.
00:57:27Yeah, what's up?
00:57:28Uh, I...
00:57:31I broke up with Dan.
00:57:33Oh, really?
00:57:34Well, that's great.
00:57:36He's, uh, a total model.
00:57:38Yeah, I'm sure you deserve much better.
00:57:40Yeah.
00:57:42Well, I'll see you guys around.
00:57:43Hey, Mia, why don't you, uh, come to the gate with him?
00:57:46Yeah.
00:57:47I'll see you with you if you want.
00:57:48Yeah, it'll be great.
00:57:49Yeah, maybe.
00:57:51Um, see you guys around.
00:57:52Yeah.
00:57:52I'll be here.
00:57:53Yeah.
00:57:54Hell of a love story, isn't it?
00:58:17Shame is all a lie.
00:58:20I figured out why you're writing those letters.
00:58:22Shut up.
00:58:23Here's the deal.
00:58:24You tell Chloe the truth, that you're the one writing all those sweet little letters, or I do.
00:58:31And if I do, the prince will get your whole file.
00:58:37Now.
00:58:38Go on.
00:58:55Okay.
00:58:56Okay.
00:59:01Sorry.
00:59:02Excuse me.
00:59:03Just coming through.
00:59:04Sorry.
00:59:08Hey, Chloe.
00:59:09Oh, my God.
00:59:10Hi.
00:59:10It was a pleasure here.
00:59:11Yeah.
00:59:12It's a good game.
00:59:14I need to tell you something.
00:59:16I need to tell you something.
00:59:16Oh, my gosh.
00:59:18Ron, are you okay?
00:59:23I'm okay.
00:59:25Are you okay?
00:59:25I'm okay.
00:59:26I'm okay.
00:59:27I'm okay.
00:59:28I'm getting back.
00:59:29Oh, good luck.
00:59:29Good luck.
00:59:30Yes.
00:59:30That's it.
00:59:31Look at that.
00:59:31Um, what were you going to say, Mia?
00:59:38Um, I need to tell you.
00:59:42Um, I've been.
00:59:44Go on.
00:59:45Tell her.
00:59:45Oh, I need to take it now.
00:59:55But I didn't write those letters.
00:59:57What?
00:59:58Our little ghostwriter here did.
01:00:00Every word.
01:00:02They were just messing with you.
01:00:04Both of us.
01:00:04Chloe, it's not like that.
01:00:06At all.
01:00:07So, everything was a lie?
01:00:10It wasn't a lie.
01:00:11At all.
01:00:12Oh, Chloe.
01:00:15Wait, I.
01:00:20No.
01:00:22Where are you going, man?
01:00:29Unbelievable.
01:00:32All this work.

01:00:35Ditches the team.
01:00:37By some stupid girl.
01:00:39I bet he's been fucking desperate as you chick found out.
01:00:50Now, actually, I heard she's been screwing Professor Luke for her grades.
01:00:56Probably have the faculty.
01:00:57It's a shame that, uh, that pathetic horror cost us the game.
01:01:04What the hell did you just say?
01:01:07Relax, man.

01:08:29Two weeks suspension.
01:08:31Effective immediately.
01:08:32What?
01:08:33Principal Matthews, you can't do this.
01:08:35I need to be at school. I have nothing else.
01:08:38She stole my money.
01:08:39What money? Where would someone like her even get money?
01:08:42That's all, Mia. You can go.
01:08:44No.
01:08:47I said you can go.
01:08:49Sorry.

01:08:58Samantha.
01:09:00Samantha.
01:09:02Please.
01:09:03I need that money for my mom's surgery.
01:09:04It's not my problem.
01:09:06Just take what's not yours.
01:09:08Isn't that exactly what you did with Brad?
01:09:14At this rate, it'll take me a decade to earn the money back.
01:09:18Oh, my goodness.
01:09:20Oh, my goodness.
01:09:23Death rat swinging wieners and beef.
01:09:26It's a pretty bad point.
01:09:27Leave me alone.
01:09:28Why?
01:09:30You got any footlongs here, or is that pro bono just for the faculty?
01:09:35Get out of here.
01:09:36What are you doing?
01:09:37Hang on.
01:09:38Hmm.

01:10:19She drove you.
01:10:21No.
01:10:21No, Mia can't drive.
01:10:24She did that right.
01:10:29The way they realized they loved each other all along.
01:10:40Right.
01:10:41After three conversations and a kiss in the rain.
01:10:44Very realistic.
01:10:47It's romantic.
01:10:50It's cheesy.
01:10:54You don't have to watch with me.

01:10:58I don't want you.
01:10:59I'm sorry.

01:18:40mom how did you know you were in love with dad
01:18:54we were at this terrible karaoke bar
01:19:01neither one of us could sing to save our lives
01:19:05but he got up anyway
01:19:07sang horribly
01:19:09just to make me laugh
01:19:12everyone was staring
01:19:16but all i could see was him
01:19:23that's it
01:19:27love isn't some big moments sweetie
01:19:31it's the little ones
01:19:33that make you feel seen
01:19:36safe
01:19:37you don't have to be anybody but yourself
01:19:41yeah
01:19:43mom i think i might have messed everything up
01:19:50good thing you're the best fixer i know
01:19:53is it
01:20:04why did you do all of this for me
01:20:06i don't know because she's my friend
01:20:08i think you do know
01:20:11we're too different
01:20:28but you and her
01:20:32it always made sense
01:20:36write your own words this time
01:20:48what is your feeling
01:20:49yeah
01:20:53you call me
01:20:59carry me
01:21:02please welcome to the stage the one and only valedictorian mia brooks
01:21:15congratulations thank you i'm so proud of you
01:21:21absolutely oh wow um good afternoon everyone um i had a whole speech planned about hard work and
01:21:34dedication and all the usual stuff you're supposed to say i've spent so much of my life
01:21:40writing words for other people it feels wrong not to write this moment for myself i want to talk
01:21:48about love love isn't some perfect story with a guaranteed happy ending it's confusing terrifying
01:22:01it makes you mess up over and over and over again because suddenly
01:22:10someone else's happiness matters more than your own and sometimes the scariest part isn't even
01:22:18falling for someone it's letting them see you all of you and trusting that they won't walk away
01:22:26i spent so much time writing stories for everyone else
01:22:30i think it's time i write my own congratulations class of 2025
