00:00Jupiter, you there?
00:02The game already started. Where are you?
00:08Jupiter, if we lose this, it's on you.
00:12What the hell is Jupiter?
00:14We need you! Come on, bro!
00:16We're getting fucked over here.
00:20Don't you fucking dare!
00:27Fuck you, TJ!
00:28Hey guys, you still on?
00:30We're here. Let me guess, you were hooking up?
00:33Again? You said you'd be on.
00:34Nah, don't slut shame me, Mars.
00:36You're a guy, he'd be doing the same thing.
00:38Leave him alone. At least he shows up to play.
00:41Mars gets it. He'd drop us for a girl, too.
00:44For sure.
00:45You know me.
00:47Just a guy's guy fighting girls off, left and right.
00:55Come on. You guys ready?
00:57Yeah, start it.
01:07Whoa, easy there.
01:09Oh, hi, TJ.
01:12Sorry, do I know you?
01:15No, well, kind of. I mean, we've been in classes every year since middle school, but...
01:20TJ, are you serious right now?
01:22It's the first day of school and you're already trying to get your body count up?
01:25No, that's not at all.
01:27Leave the poor girl alone.
01:29She's clearly not into it.
01:32Just because you were born first doesn't mean you can act like mom.
01:35Oh.
01:38Oh, my God.
01:40I am so sorry about him.
01:43He does not know how to turn the fuckboy thing off.
01:46You're Charlotte, right?
01:48Tracy, oh my God, my best friend!
01:51You look so good.
01:54Why are you letting this desperate nerd rub up on my man?
01:58Leave her alone, Sadie.
02:00You're my brother's groupie, not his girlfriend.
02:03Don't worry.
02:05After football season is over, then he's going to put a label on it.
02:09I'll see you at practice.
02:11We'll try so hard not to drop you.
02:16Aren't you two friends?
02:17We were friends until I found out that she was just using me to get to my brother.
02:23How about I tell you all about it after school?
02:25You want to come over to my place?
02:28Please, please.
02:29I clearly need to broaden my social horizons.
02:35Okay.
02:36Really?
02:37Yes!
02:43Hello?
02:48Tracy?
02:49Upstairs!
03:10Cory, is that you?
03:14Oh, shit!
03:18You okay?
03:25Two tackles in one day.
03:28Should join the football team.
03:30I'm so sorry.
03:31I'm not.
03:33Well,
03:34apart from getting you all sweaty.
03:38You know, if you didn't spend so much time looking at your feet,
03:42I wouldn't run into people as often.
03:45Right.
03:46Sorry.
03:47It's okay.
03:49I need to apologize.
03:51I just want to see your face.
03:55Not so bad, right?
04:00What the fuck is going on?
04:04Calm down.
04:06I was going to say hi.
04:08Okay, great.
04:10Now say bye.
04:13Bye.
04:16TJ!
04:22Hey, yo, Trace.
04:24Looking fine.
04:26Hey.
04:27So, uh,
04:29you ladies doing anything later tonight, or?
04:34Yeah, okay, bet.
04:35Yeah.
04:35Catch you later.
04:37Better look next time.
04:37Man, fuck you.
04:40Dog,
04:40I got news.
04:42Huge news.
04:43We got in the Strike From Above tournament.
04:46Holy shit, dude!
04:48Dude, that's huge!
04:49Right?
04:49Our first pro league.
04:51I mean,
04:52the sponsor's gonna be knocking down our doors,
04:54and it's in person, so...
04:55Finally get to meet Mars, man.
04:57I mean, you really think he's gonna come out of hiding for this?
05:00Yeah, of course he will.
05:01We've been best friends with the guy for years.
05:03You more than me.
05:04And how many times has he come up with some bullshit excuse?
05:08Dude, this time's different, alright?
05:09We'll just...
05:09We'll tell him about the tournament.
05:10He'll be psyched.
05:11Just give him a chance.
05:12I don't wanna fuck up the friendship.
05:14Didn't fuck things up when you and I met each other.
05:16And Mars knows that.
05:21Alright, whatever the fuck.
05:22We'll do it your way.
05:24But the guy's your best friend.
05:26You text him about it.
05:28Alright.
05:29I'll text him.
05:34Uh, just so you know, what you saw with TJ wasn't anything.
05:38No, I know.
05:39My brother is a dipshit.
05:42A smart girl like you is, like, so out of his league.
05:46That's not true.
05:49But thanks.
05:51And then thanks for inviting me over.
05:54I don't do this a lot.
05:56What?
05:56Girl time?
05:58Friend time.
06:14You okay?
06:16Yeah.
06:17Yeah.

06:18No, but...
06:20I...
06:21I...
06:23Okay.
06:26So, there's this guy that I've been talking to forever.
06:32And...
06:33Well, we've never met in person.
06:35But he wants to.
06:37Tomorrow.
06:38Oh my god, what?
06:41Is he home?
06:42I don't know what he looks like.
06:44We met online, so I don't know who he is.
06:47I don't even know his real name.
06:49Okay.
06:50Well, you obviously have a crush on this mystery man.
06:54So you should say yes.
06:57Oh my god, girl, why not?
07:00Seriously.
07:02Because he thinks I'm a boy.
07:08I...
07:11I have simply too many questions.

12:13I have eyes.
12:14Okay, even if you're way more TJ's type than mine, but wait.
12:18Wait, is this whole thing just some evil elaborate plan to get closer to TJ?
12:23Like, are you making a dong out of his hair or something?
12:26What?
12:26You know, I didn't know who you guys were until today.
12:31And then when I saw TJ standing there, I just couldn't go through with it.
12:36I mean, you could have just told the truth.
12:38It's not that simple.
12:39You two have been my best friends for years.
12:45My only friends.
12:49Do you hate me?
12:52No.
12:54No, I'm glad to finally know who you are.

29:01TJ, what the hell was that?
29:08Nothing, just a game.
29:10Okay, Monopoly is a game.
29:12That was like, softcore porn.
29:16Charlotte?
29:25Um, I'm going to be right back.
29:46It's me.
29:48Can I come in?
29:51Yeah.
29:57I don't know what to say.
30:00Just be honest with me.
30:03Do you have feelings for my brother?
30:08I'm so sorry, Tracy.
30:09I didn't mean for this to happen.
30:16Charlotte, you're literally still texting mystery man.
30:19It's not what you think.
30:21He'd take it from me?
30:23There's nothing my brother hates more than a liar.
30:29Did something happen?
30:33Our dad cheated on our mom.
30:37She could come out, but she still hasn't recovered.
30:45Neither has TJ.
30:48So when it comes to lying and sneaking around, he doesn't forgive.
30:55So if you really are into my brother, you need to draw a mystery man.
31:11Got you now, two-timing virgin skank.
31:17Hey.
31:18I know what you're going to say, and I'm working on telling him.
31:22I was actually going to ask if Tracy had said anything about me, but I mean, yeah, dude, what the
31:27fuck?
31:28Like, especially after that kiss?
31:30It's not all right, bro.
31:32Okay, well, how would you tell him?
31:33I would just do it.
31:36Like, do you want to wait until the tournament and just fuck up his game?
31:38No, of course not.
31:39Because that would fuck up the friendship, too.
31:41You know that.
31:44Yeah, well, I'm also worried about Tracy.
31:46It's not just you and TJ anymore.
31:48He's my best friend's brother.
31:52Look, I know there is a lot on your plate, but if you don't tell TJ,
31:58I'm going to tell him that we should enter the tournament as a duo.
32:01What?
32:02Look, I'm sorry, dude, but if you can't even be honest with your teammates,
32:08you can't be on the team.
32:14Bye, guys.
32:15Have a good night.
32:59TJ, what are you doing here?
33:00Sorry, I thought I heard a phone.
33:02Is yours in here?
33:04My phone?
33:04It's in Tracy's room.
33:16Okay, you can turn around.
33:19Why did you just barge in here?
33:22Earlier.
33:25Was that really your first kiss?
33:30Hey, come on.
33:31You can tell me.
33:33Can I?
33:34I thought it was just a game to you.
33:35Yeah, well, I lied.
33:38My sister was right there.
33:43It wasn't just a game, Charlotte.
33:47Not to me.
33:51It made me realize that all of your firsts, I want them to be with me.
34:09We shouldn't do this right now.
34:10It's late, okay?
34:11We should go to bed.
34:18Hello?
34:28Let me guess.
34:30Tracy's drunk ass was passed out.
34:34And she locked her bedroom door?
34:36Yeah, she always does that during parties.
34:39Guess you're stuck with me.
34:49TJ, we should really discuss.
34:56Sleeping arrangements.
34:59That one's easy.
35:01I have a bed.
35:02We both fit in it.
35:04Come soft.
35:08Don't you want to share a bed in here?
35:23Wait, what are you doing?
35:24I'm going to go sleep on the couch.
35:26You don't have to do that.
35:26I can sleep on the couch.
35:28Charlotte.
35:30I'm trying to be sure who is here.
35:33But I want you.
35:38I want you to stay.
35:45Okay.
35:47I'll stay with you.
36:03Is that a girl like you?
36:04You get so into video games.
36:07Would you ask a boy that question?
36:09Come on.
36:12Okay.
36:16Video games give me the chance to be someone else.
36:21Someone braver.
36:25Making friends was harder for me than most people.
36:29I don't know what's wrong with me.
36:31There's nothing wrong with you, Charlotte.
36:38The moment I laid eyes on you.
36:42I felt like I knew you.
36:47I can't explain it.
36:48It's like we weren't starting from the beginning.
36:54We were already close.
36:56You're someone I know.
36:58I can trust completely.
37:00DJ, I...
37:01I really want to kiss you right now.
37:10Okay.
37:12Okay.
37:28Sorry.
37:29I know I'm probably not a good kisser.
37:31No.
37:32No, it's not that.
37:34It's...
37:38It's just it's never felt like that before.
37:42Like what?
37:46Like I'm going to keep kissing you for the rest of my life.
37:55Can I just hold you?
37:59Yeah.
38:04No.
38:05No.
38:18No.
38:20No.
38:22No.
38:25No.
38:25No.
40:37That's why I was at your locker.
40:39Cora can back me up.
40:43Are you fucking kidding me?
40:45You knew.
40:47Doug, I found out myself, okay?
40:49And I wanted to tell you, but...
40:52It was Charlotte's decision.
40:53So you were both in on it?
40:58You two deserve each other.
41:00TJ.
41:02TJ.
41:03TJ.
41:29TJ's not here.
41:31I know.
41:32I know.
41:32He's at practice.
41:33I came to see you.
41:38It's bad enough that I like your brother
41:42and then lied to him.
41:45But I lied to you, too.
41:49When you were nothing but nice to me.
41:53And so I just wanted to apologize.
41:59Even if you still hate me.
42:09Wait.
42:10Wait.
42:16I don't hate you.
42:19But I do appreciate the apology.
42:24All this time,
42:27my brother was your mystery man.
42:34and you
42:37are the person he's told me about all these years.
42:41His best friend.
42:45I know
42:46it seems like the world is over.
42:50But you can fix this.
43:11voice changer disabled.
43:16TJ, are you there?
43:20jupiter
43:24i don't want to talk mart
43:27charlotte you don't have to say anything back just please let me explain
43:36when we first met years ago
43:40i didn't have any friends
43:45the only thing that i was good at was video games but when i logged on i was told to
43:50go away because
43:51i was a girl and so i started using a voice changer
43:59and it gave me a way to make friends but as a boy
44:05and it seemed harmless
44:08and it was until it wasn't
44:17i spent years
44:21liking mars more than i liked charlotte
44:25and you were the first person to make me feel like both parts of me matter
44:30and that's when i knew that i wasn't
44:38but that doesn't matter anymore
44:43all that i can hope for now
44:49is to get my best friend back
