00:00:13Hey, Ava Darling.
00:00:15Declan, what are you doing?
00:00:17That's a beautiful name.
00:00:19Ava Darling.
00:00:21Makes sense, I guess.
00:00:24Beautiful name for a beautiful girl.
00:00:28Right. Did you, like, hit your head or something, Declan?
00:00:31You do know how beautiful you are, don't you?
00:00:41You are so not good at that.
00:00:44What?
00:00:45Is that like your first kiss or something?
00:00:48Got him.
00:00:49Oh, my God.
00:00:51I can't believe she thought a guy would actually be interested in her.
00:00:55There's a reason you're a virgin, loser.
00:01:14You guys really need to find new shit to laugh about.
00:01:17Hunter, what the fuck?
00:01:21You good?
00:01:25Enough, everyone.
00:01:27Let's get to class.
00:01:29Go learn something.
00:01:33Hunter.
00:01:35Just a man I wanted to see.
00:01:44Oh, I practiced right late.
00:01:46I didn't have time to study.
00:01:48Life lasts longer than the duration of a soccer season.
00:01:52You need to start thinking about your future.
00:01:55And you deserve a future, Hunter.
00:01:58I know you're better than this.
00:02:00One more F and you're off the team.
00:02:05And finally, please remember there are Narcon injectors available at the front office.
00:02:10Stay safe and study hard.
00:02:12Don't you know it's not enough to be smart anymore?
00:02:15You're going to have to be willing to play dirty, too.
00:02:18Is that why you keep cheating your way to valedictorian?
00:02:22Just because you're the frontrunner now doesn't mean you won't have a little accident before the school year's out.
00:02:29You know, it was so easy to get you alone with my cousin this morning.
00:02:35You know, he's not afraid to beat up a girl.
00:02:38You should keep that in mind.
00:03:03You should keep that in mind.
00:03:10Hey, what can I talk to you?
00:03:15It's Hunter.
00:03:16I promise you're safe.
00:03:34Why do you carry around travel-sized lotion-infused tissues?
00:03:40So I can help damsels in distress like you.
00:03:46No, I'm kidding.
00:03:46My little sister gets nosebleeds, so I just keep them with me.
00:03:53Look, I wanted to ask you if you'd ever consider starting a study group with me.
00:03:57Like, I think we'd be a good team and you could call it, I don't know, payback for helping you
00:04:03out earlier.
00:04:03Thanks, but no thanks.
00:04:06I can take care of myself.
00:04:08Really?
00:04:12You know, I heard what Jessica was saying to you out there.
00:04:15I could, um, I could offer you protection for a couple of those days you're always getting.
00:04:23And how would you protect me?
00:04:27I think Jessica and Declan would, you know, stop bothering you if they thought you were my girlfriend.
00:04:35But aren't you and, um, Jessica...
00:04:38Fuck you.
00:04:39No.
00:04:40Not anymore.
00:04:42Right, but why not just friends?
00:04:46Because Jessica and Declan think guys and girls can't, you know, just be friends.
00:04:53So, you want to be my fake boyfriend for protection in exchange for me giving you all the answers to
00:05:00everything?
00:05:02Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
00:05:05I mean, I think it sounds like a good idea.
00:05:07Would you ever be, I don't know, interested in something like that?
00:05:14You're such a man, Warr.
00:05:16You know what, Hunter?
00:05:17Why don't you take your offer and shove it up your ass?
00:05:48You ran?
00:05:54There he is.
00:05:56My best salesman.
00:06:07I didn't come here to watch you grope your jailbait girlfriend.
00:06:11Fuck off, Hunter.
00:06:12Hey, Drew, you want me to show this kid his place?
00:06:20That fucking mouth of yours.
00:06:23I pay all your bills, and you give me shit?
00:06:27You could stand to be a bit more grateful, you know?
00:06:30You're the one who came to me with that pathetic sob story about your little sister.
00:06:35Please, Mr. Carter, you don't understand.
00:06:38She's sick.
00:06:39I need the money.
00:06:41Little bitch.
00:06:42I'd kick your disrespectful ass if my business partners weren't so pleased with your numbers.
00:06:48Remember that.
00:06:49Speaking of, we're throwing a party here this weekend.
00:06:54So invite all your little high school friends.
00:06:57I want a big crowd.
00:06:59I got a new shipment of pills coming in, and I need my best salesman to be there to push
00:07:03them.
00:07:05Am I clear?
00:07:23You told Hunter Black to do what?
00:07:25Ava, you need to go back to him, apologize, and accept the deal.
00:07:29Why would I do that?
00:07:30Because if Jessica can't mess with you outside of the classroom,
00:07:33that means she'll have to beat you for valedictorian the old-fashioned way.
00:07:36And we all know that'll never happen.
00:07:43You gotta stop with those.
00:07:45Lauren Cabot overdosed on those last year.
00:07:47Because she was partying, cutting it with other drugs.
00:07:50You don't see me doing that, do you?
00:07:53I still think there's a better way to focus.
00:07:55And I still think you should take Hunter up on his offer.
00:07:59If you hurry, you could catch him after soccer practice.
00:08:02You know what?
00:08:03It's a great idea.
00:08:06Hunter's coach should know that he's been trying to cheat.
00:08:09You don't see me.
00:08:09I'm sorry.
00:08:31I'm sorry.
00:08:53Hey, you changed your mind yet?
00:08:56No, I have not.
00:09:00Oh, what is that?
00:09:02Is that grease?
00:09:03It is grease.
00:09:04From the robotics lab.
00:09:05It's where I just was.
00:09:08Oh, okay.
00:09:09Ava, I get it.
00:09:10All right, academics, that's your thing.
00:09:11Just like soccer is mine.
00:09:13And, you know, normally I wouldn't ask you to help me cheat on anything.
00:09:16But this is temporary.
00:09:17I just got to get through soccer season into spring semester with my scholarship intact so I can graduate.
00:09:24Spring semester?
00:09:25Too late for Jessica to catch up with me.
00:09:31For Validecorian?
00:09:32Yeah, I know, Ava.
00:09:38If we're going to be in a fake relationship, we have to discuss parameters, set up some ground rules.
00:09:43Deal.
00:09:44Shall we seal it with a kiss?
00:09:46Rule number one, nothing physical.
00:09:49Well, come on.
00:09:50No, I mean it, Hunter.
00:09:52Our clothes are staying on.
00:09:54I can think of plenty of things we can do with our clothes still on.
00:09:59I mean, we have to at least kiss if we're going to look like a real couple.
00:10:03Maybe even a few trips to the nurse's office.
00:10:06Fine.
00:10:07Which leads me to rule number two.
00:10:09No other hookups.
00:10:11If we're a couple, we're into each other and only each other.
00:10:15All right.
00:10:16Then rule number three, no catching feelings.
00:10:19I don't want you getting all lovey-dovey on me.
00:10:21No problem.
00:10:24And I think, you know, if you're going to be my girlfriend, you got to, you got to look the
00:10:27part.
00:10:29What?
00:10:30You going to give me a makeover or something?
00:10:35Something like that.
00:10:39Hey, Jessica.
00:10:40I heard your ex is now dating that pick-me-prude Ava.
00:10:44Like anyone would ever date Ava.
00:10:48Have you seen her?
00:10:50She dresses like a troll with a personality to match.
00:10:53Yeah.
00:10:54Total boner killer.
00:10:56Exactly.
00:10:57Damn, who's that?
00:11:09Is that Ava?
00:11:13Is that Ava?
00:11:52What?
00:11:54Are you doing charity work now?
00:11:56Nice jacket.
00:11:58It's his mom's.
00:12:00Shame to see such a great outfit go absolutely wasted.
00:12:05Even with the new clothes, you're still so painfully mid.
00:12:13Don't listen to him.
00:12:14You look gorgeous.
00:12:31At least when I win valedictorian, you'll be used to my sloppy second.
00:12:44Adorable.
00:12:45Now, if you will please excuse us, Hunter and I have some very important business to attend to.
00:12:53Drew needs us.
00:12:55Right, yeah.
00:12:57Business?
00:12:57Who's Drew?
00:12:59Um, just a soccer thing.
00:13:02I'll see you later for tutoring though, yeah?
00:13:15You're fucking lying to me?
00:13:16You're fucking lying to me?
00:13:19Okay, that's enough, man.
00:13:21Yo, we don't like doing this shit to you, man.
00:13:22We don't like it, okay?
00:13:23Just pay us the money.
00:13:25Yeah?
00:13:25You know who you work for?
00:13:27No, Drew Carter.
00:13:28You want to piss him off.
00:13:29I promise you.
00:13:30I heard he used a knife on the last kid.
00:13:31You hear that, Hunter?
00:13:32I did hear that.
00:13:33You want to try your luck with Drew?
00:13:34No, you don't.
00:13:35You got one week.
00:13:36You got one week, okay?
00:13:39That means get the fuck out!
00:13:55What's up, sweetly?
00:13:57You guys on the road yet?
00:14:00You think you left it on my bed?
00:14:03Okay, just, um, just hang tight.
00:14:06I'll be there soon.
00:14:07Okay, yeah.
00:14:26At least when I win valedictorian, you'll be used to my sloppy seconds.
00:14:39Adorable.
00:14:40Now, if you will please excuse us, Hunter and I have some very important business to attend
00:14:47to.
00:14:48Drew needs us.
00:14:50Right, yeah.
00:14:51Business?
00:14:52Who's Drew?
00:14:54Um, just a soccer thing.
00:14:57I'll see you later for tutoring though, yeah?
00:15:09You're fucking lying to me?
00:15:11Fucking lying to me?
00:15:13Okay, that's enough, man.
00:15:16Yo, we don't like doing this shit to you, man.
00:15:17We don't like it, okay?
00:15:18Just pay us the money.
00:15:20Yeah?
00:15:20You know who you work for?
00:15:22No.
00:15:22Drew Carter.
00:15:23You want to piss him off?
00:15:24I promise you.
00:15:25I heard he used a knife on the last kid.
00:15:26You hear that, Hunter?
00:15:27I did hear that.
00:15:27You want to try your luck with Drew?
00:15:29No, you don't.
00:15:30You got one week.
00:15:31You got one week, okay?
00:15:34That means get the fuck out!
00:15:50What's up, sweetly?
00:15:51You guys on the road yet?
00:15:55You think you left it on my bed?
00:15:58Okay, just, um, just hang tight.
00:16:00I'll be there soon.
00:16:02Okay, yeah.
00:16:08Come on.
00:16:12Come on.
00:16:26Come on.
00:16:27Come on.
00:16:32When do you think this place will be done with renovations?
00:16:35Hopefully never.
00:16:41So, how long do we have to stay in here in order to sell it?
00:16:48About an hour, I'd say.
00:16:50Is that how long you stay with girls you actually like?
00:16:54I don't bring girls in here.
00:16:56But this is like the prime time hookup spot on campus.
00:17:01Yeah, but like you, I actually have standards.
00:17:07Can I ask you a question?
00:17:10Are you a virgin?
00:17:12You don't have to answer that.
00:17:14I'm just, you know, I'm curious because you're a pretty girl and I figure you could get a boyfriend, like
00:17:21a real boyfriend, if you wanted one.
00:17:24I'll get lucky at college next year.
00:17:26Or I'll find another engineering student and he'll help me change the world for the better.
00:17:32I'll also dabble in some Regency romance novels and look like a young Timothee Chalamet.
00:17:38So the exact opposite of me.
00:17:44What about you then?
00:17:46Plenty of hookups.
00:17:47No real girlfriends.
00:17:49You really a man whore?
00:17:53You want to find out?
00:18:06Do you really think that line would work?
00:18:24It did on Jessica.
00:18:27Let me guess.
00:18:28Your situation shift ended so bad that you swore off real dating forever.
00:18:34No.
00:18:35No.
00:18:36I mean, it was bad.
00:18:37Like, definitely bad.
00:18:37But I think it's, uh, I think it's more to do with, with, uh, with money.
00:18:43I'm at this school on scholarship and if I lose a scholarship, I lose the opportunity to play in front
00:18:49of college scouts.
00:18:50And if I lose that opportunity, I can't go to college because obviously, you know, I don't have a college
00:18:55fund, even though I work a bunch of jobs.
00:18:58But it's like at the end of the month, when the bills come in, all my money's just gone.
00:19:04So I guess my point is that I can afford a girlfriend.
00:19:13For the record, the right girl won't care about money.
00:19:18So I just want someone who cares.
00:19:22And, you know, not to give you a bigger ego than you already have.
00:19:27But I think you'd actually make a pretty okay boyfriend.
00:19:32Okay.
00:19:43Come on, Dish already.
00:19:45Tell me what happened in the nurse's office.
00:19:48I mean, nothing, really.
00:19:53And I'd believe that if you didn't have these cute little stars floating around in your eyes.
00:19:57We just talked, really.
00:20:00But it was nice, I guess.
00:20:04You know, he's shockingly an okay guy.
00:20:06Well, I always knew that.
00:20:10What are you talking about?
00:20:11Sophomore year, my car got a flat tire in the student parking lot.
00:20:15Everyone who was there started laughing at me because I couldn't change it.
00:20:18Except for Hunter.
00:20:20He actually got down on the ground and showed me how to do it.
00:20:25Speak of the devil.
00:20:31Making myself scarce, I just realized how much I need to pee.
00:20:44I asked my teachers for some extensions.
00:20:47They were all actually pretty cool about it.
00:20:50You know, high school gets a lot easier once you realize the teachers actually want you to succeed.
00:20:54Yeah, well, they gave me all these assignments to redo for a better grade.
00:20:59How long do you think it'll take you?
00:21:00Why?
00:21:01So you can academically hit it and quit it?
00:21:16Seriously?
00:21:17You can't even pretend to be in an exclusive relationship?
00:21:20This is our first fight?
00:21:23What's up, Leah?
00:21:25Who's Leah?
00:21:26You're a smart girl, Eva.
00:21:27I'm sure you can figure it out.
00:21:29Of course I got time.
00:21:30What's going on?
00:21:43Hey, still mad at me?
00:21:47Why didn't you finish this?
00:21:51That was due day of the rivalry game.
00:21:54It's really good.
00:21:57Holden Caulfield is traumatized.
00:21:59I always thought that just explained why he's such an asshole.
00:22:03But you went a step further.
00:22:06Yeah, I thought that's why he was protecting his sister.
00:22:09I never would have considered it that way.
00:22:13I was impressed.
00:22:15Wow.
00:22:15That's high praise coming from you?
00:22:18But you're lazy.
00:22:21It's honestly such a waste.
00:22:22You know, if you just finished what you started...
00:22:24You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:22:28I'm not lazy.
00:22:30I mean, I just told you how busy I always am.
00:22:33And it's not like it matters anyway.
00:22:35Like, academics isn't going to pay for my college.
00:22:37But you know what will?
00:22:39Soccer.
00:22:39So I spend my time playing soccer.
00:22:42When I'm not trying to survive.
00:22:44Okay, okay.
00:22:45I get it.
00:22:46No, you don't get it, actually.
00:22:48If I'm not playing soccer, I'm, you know, worried sick to death.
00:22:51About my sister helping my mom out.
00:22:53Your sister?
00:22:57Your sister.
00:22:58Leah.
00:23:00I'm an idiot.
00:23:02No, you're not an idiot.
00:23:03It's just...
00:23:06You only have to worry about school.
00:23:08Of course you're going to be good at it.
00:23:12I'm sorry.
00:23:13For what I said.
00:23:16Okay, I, um, I gotta go to work.
00:23:20Do you want to come with me?
00:23:22You know, we could study there.
00:23:33How do you make money around here?
00:23:35I mean, there's not really anyone here to tip.
00:23:38Yeah, well, you know, soon I won't be able to make money anywhere because of those robots you're making.
00:23:43Hey, I build robots to help people.
00:23:46Okay.
00:23:46These can help visually impaired users do everyday tasks.
00:23:50See this part right here?
00:23:52It provides a color recognition.
00:23:53And if the user presses this button here, it uses a voice app to say out loud the color of
00:23:59the objects in their hand.
00:24:00Best of all, the use can help recognize the value of money if the user wants to use cash to
00:24:05buy something.
00:24:06And it can even help with self-defense.
00:24:09It can really do all that?
00:24:11Well, it should.
00:24:12These are just prototypes and I'm still working on the voice app, but it should be finished by the time
00:24:17the All-State Science Fair comes around.
00:24:18Prize money's like 15k.
00:24:21Damn, I gotta get into robotics.
00:24:22The money can help expand my work.
00:24:24I'll start college next year off with an edge.
00:24:28Gotta admit, this nerd shit is actually pretty cool.
00:24:32I am impressed, Ava, darling.
00:24:47Okay, um, you know what?
00:24:48I think we should make a public appearance tonight.
00:24:51Gotta make this convincing and that means hanging with a couple of my friends.
00:24:55But, it's a school night.
00:24:58Ava, I think you'd get less shit from people if you just broke the rules once in a while.
00:25:02They have been leaving Lily alone since she's been popping pills like every other person here.
00:25:07I'm not saying you gotta do that.
00:25:08I'm just, you know, maybe you should pretend to fit in.
00:25:14Come on.
00:25:31This is a party.
00:25:32You ever been to one of those?
00:25:34I was sixth grade at the arcade camp.
00:25:38You just gotta show them you're one of them.
00:25:40How am I supposed to do that?
00:25:42Every time I open my mouth, I manage to insult someone.
00:25:47You know what?
00:25:49I'm talking on the dance floor.
00:25:51I'm talking on the dance floor.
00:26:16I'm talking on the dance floor.
00:26:20You think I'm hot?
00:26:22You know what you look like.
00:26:27I think I know a way to make them believe we're actually dating.
00:26:31What's that?
00:26:34Do you trust me?
00:26:41I trust you.
00:27:00I trust you.
00:27:21I trust you.
00:28:07I trust you.
00:28:18I trust you.
00:28:20Doesn't it get annoying?
00:28:21Pretending all the time.
00:28:23Pretending to drink.
00:28:25Pretending you're not as smart as you really are.
00:28:28Pretending you're not a total softbie.
00:28:30Don't blow my cover.
00:28:32I used to hate being unpopular.
00:28:35It gets lonely sometimes.
00:28:39But at least I can never pretend to be anything but me.
00:28:44Hunter, there you are.
00:28:47Drew wants a word with you.
00:28:49Fuck.
00:28:50Right now?
00:28:51Please, don't leave me.
00:28:54Just hang here.
00:28:55I'll be back in a minute.
00:28:57Okay?
00:29:06I don't like to be kept waiting.
00:29:09I didn't know I was on the clock tonight.
00:29:11Watch the attitude, kid.
00:29:13You work when I tell you to work.
00:29:16Understood?
00:29:17Yeah.
00:29:20Now, stay here.
00:29:21My boy is coming with some dope.
00:29:23Then we're heading right back out there to push.
00:29:25I still got pills.
00:29:26I can get them all out tonight.
00:29:27No.
00:29:28Fresh shipment just came in.
00:29:30New suppliers, new shit.
00:29:33Saw it that you brought a girl, by the way.
00:29:35Pretty little thing.
00:29:37She's not gonna be a problem now, is she?
00:29:41No, she doesn't matter, no.
00:29:48Good.
00:30:10What, did the cops recruit you or something?
00:30:12Are you here to narc on us, get us all arrested?
00:30:15I'm here with Hunter.
00:30:25So that's how you've been keeping up with me.
00:30:30I'd say eat a dick.
00:30:32But we both know no guy would ever touch you.
00:30:37Hunter can dress you up all you want.
00:30:41But everyone at this party knows you'll always be below us.
00:30:45Hunter accepts me just fine.
00:30:48And he wants to touch me.
00:30:52Please.
00:30:54You barely even know him.
00:30:57Where is he?
00:30:58Right now?
00:31:02That's what I thought.
00:31:04He's already gotten bored of you.
00:31:06Gone back to his own kind.
00:31:09Where do you think you are going?
00:31:16What the hell are you doing?
00:31:19Reminding you of your place.
00:31:27Go ahead.
00:31:29Do you mind?
00:31:31I can't believe you're bleeding all over me.
00:31:34I don't want to catch whatever diseases you have.
00:31:36What the hell is wrong with you?
00:31:39What the hell is wrong with you?
00:31:42Just proving a point.
00:31:45You're too delicate.
00:31:47Too weak to be with someone like Hunter.
00:31:53Hunter.
00:32:14Ava Darling, huh?
00:32:18Those high school girls, man.
00:32:20They'll get your ass in a lot of trouble.
00:32:24Which reminds me.
00:32:25Do you remember that girl that Declan started to bring around the warehouse last year?
00:32:30Lauren Cabot?
00:32:32Yeah.
00:32:33Lauren.
00:32:34Sweet girl.
00:32:36Too bad she didn't know how to keep her mouth shut.
00:32:39Heard her asking way too many questions.
00:32:43And then that overdose.
00:32:48What did you do?
00:32:50All I did was offer her a couple pills.
00:32:53How was I supposed to know that she was going to be mixing them?
00:32:57Word of advice.
00:32:58Keep your shit separate.
00:33:01I would just hate to see your new girlfriend getting way over her head.
00:33:22Holy shit.
00:33:23That's going to take forever to move.
00:33:24You got two weeks.
00:33:26That's impossible.
00:33:28It better not be.
00:33:36Good.
00:33:37Now you get this done before the next shipment comes in.
00:33:40And there's a bonus with it.
00:33:42The powers that be are interested in expansion.
00:33:45Big time.
00:33:47And that means taking care of my guys.
00:33:50Hey!
00:33:51So you left me to hang out with your asshole friends?
00:33:53We're supposed to be dating, remember?
00:33:57I know, I know.
00:33:58I just...
00:33:58Because I'm keeping up my end of the deal.
00:34:00Doing all your work.
00:34:01I had to, okay?
00:34:02You just don't understand.
00:34:03Meanwhile, I just got eaten alive in there.
00:34:05I mean, look at what your psycho ex just did.
00:34:07Fuck.
00:34:09I'm sorry, Ava.
00:34:10I wish I could have been in there.
00:34:10I really do.
00:34:11Can you just go, please?
00:34:13Somewhere else?
00:34:14Anywhere else?
00:34:16Is there a problem over here?
00:34:18Who the hell are you?
00:34:21None of your fucking business, sweetheart.
00:34:24I thought you said she didn't matter.
00:34:28Oh, I know.
00:34:30I hurt you.
00:34:34Go inside and wait for me.
00:34:36You do what I said.
00:34:40Attaboy.
00:34:49We're done.
00:34:50It's over.
00:34:50What? No, Ava, that was...
00:34:51What the hell am I getting out of the deal?
00:34:53You won't even protect me from your own friends.
00:34:56I'm trying.
00:34:56Okay, you just don't know everything.
00:34:58I know what I see.
00:34:59And it's bullshit.
00:35:02Just like one of your assignments.
00:35:04Something you start but can't finish.
00:35:06It's over.
00:35:07Ava, don't...
00:35:08They have.
00:35:09They have.
00:35:11I don't know.
00:35:47Red. Apples. Only.
00:36:21What? Where have you been?
00:36:24Does it matter? I'm here now.
00:36:27It's too late. I finished the test and I have to get to first period.
00:36:30Then what do you want from me, Ava?
00:36:33What is wrong with you?
00:36:34I'm just so tired of you judging, judging, judging all the time.
00:36:38Thinking you're so much better than everyone else, better than me.
00:36:41I've never thought that about you.
00:36:48Lily, you're really worrying me.
00:36:52Save it. Worry about yourself.
00:37:07Hey.
00:37:09I know you don't want to talk to me.
00:37:11Just so I can, you know, keep up my end of the deal.
00:37:19After the whole Jessica thing, I just want you to be able to protect yourself.
00:37:29Ava.
00:37:35I'm really sorry.
00:37:39I, uh, I, I did the reading.
00:37:43You read Their Eyes Were Watching God.
00:37:46Okay, maybe I listened to the audio book, but remember that part after chapter eight, like just after Joe dies?
00:37:53It got me thinking about how sometimes you don't realize you're treating someone like shit until after it's too late.
00:37:59And, you know, you wish you could have realized sooner, and I guess I just realized, you know, or I,
00:38:06I wish I realized sooner.
00:38:12Well, better late than never, I guess.
00:38:21Do you want to go eat lunch?
00:38:23You know, I'm going to be alone, and I thought maybe you are going to be alone, or actually, maybe
00:38:28you're not.
00:38:28I'm sorry, I'm just going to go.
00:38:29I like that.
00:38:47What is it with all the people I care about just suddenly foregoing basic self-care?
00:38:51So you care about me?
00:38:53Don't get a big head about it.
00:38:56You're like a stray dog that looks tough, but really just wants a belly rub.
00:39:01Does this mean we can be friends?
00:39:04Sure.
00:39:05Friends.
00:39:12I don't have many friends that look at me like that.
00:39:14No, I wasn't, but, uh, anyways, um, I didn't finish your assignment.
00:39:22But I did tell you how to finish it yourself, quickly, too, so it doesn't take up too much time
00:39:28away from your soccer practice.
00:39:44Well, that's really nice of you, Ava.
00:39:51You know, I think we, uh, we better get to class before we're late.
00:39:55You know, because I'm really into that kind of stuff now.
00:40:18You know, I'm really into that kind of stuff now.
00:40:48Lily?
00:40:56Lily?
00:40:56Lily!
00:40:58Lily!
00:40:59Lily!
00:41:00Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Lily, Lily!
00:41:02Okay, come on, Lily, stay with me, please.

00:41:23Hey, hey!
00:41:25Lily!
00:41:26Lily!
00:41:29Please, send an ambulance.
00:41:30My best friend, she took something and she's not waking up.
00:41:34Help!
00:41:35Help, please!
00:41:37Please!
00:42:39What do you mean? I got you.
00:42:51Whoa, what the hell?
00:42:53Did you know all your friends are dealing drugs?
00:42:55What?
00:42:57I called one of their little numbers and Declan picked up.
00:43:00Really, overdose.
00:43:02The paramedic said that she had traces of fentanyl in her system.
00:43:05Fentanyl?
00:43:08Oh, that's, um, that's, that's terrible.
00:43:10If I'd, is she okay?
00:43:12She will be.
00:43:14I just talked to her parents, but God, if I would have given her the Narcan any later.
00:43:21Or, you know, she has to go to, like, some sober high school or something, and I'll have no one.
00:43:29I'm so sorry.
00:43:31I, I, I had no idea.
00:43:32What do you do?
00:43:35Oh, there's a sober lining, at least.
00:43:39I made an anonymous call to the principal.

00:55:13Hey, you like that about me.
00:55:15No, I do.
00:55:16What do you want to say?
00:55:20I'm really starving.
00:55:27Okay, why don't we go on a real date then?
00:55:32See a show and go to a dinner.
00:55:35A show?
00:55:37Okay, like a movie at the discount theater.
00:55:40Are you getting all lovey-dovey on me, Hunter Black?
00:55:44Are you saying yes?
00:55:47I'm saying of course.
00:56:06Okay, I admit, when you said dinner, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
00:56:12Not that I mind an affordable option.
00:56:15It's just, this is where you work and I don't want your mind to be on work all night.
00:56:20Trust me, my mind's going to be on something else.
00:56:26I just have to drop something off.
00:56:28Something I should have dropped off a long time ago.
00:56:31All right.
00:56:33Are you okay?
00:56:34You seem nervous.
00:56:35No, I've just, I've never been on a real date before.
00:56:39Can I just come with you?
00:56:51Do you still trust me?
00:56:53I still trust you.
00:56:55Go.
00:56:57Go.
00:56:57Go.
00:57:26I don't know.
00:57:44Hey, who's there?
00:57:58Jesus, dude.
00:58:02You scared the shit out of me.
00:58:03What are you doing here?
00:58:23Hunter?
00:58:24Where are you?
00:58:36Drew was worried you'd do something stupid.
00:58:39Told me to watch the place.
00:58:43I guess he was right.
00:58:48Over.
00:58:57Please, let me explain in the car.
00:59:00I tried giving you the benefit of the doubt, but of course you were involved with this the whole time.
00:59:04No, Ava, Ava, we can't be here right now.
00:59:05Did you sell them to her?
00:59:07The drugs slowly overdosed on?
00:59:08No, I didn't.
00:59:09I promised you I didn't.
00:59:11As soon as I found out the pills had fentanyl in my stop.
00:59:13That's why I'm here.
00:59:14I'm giving everything back.
00:59:15Ava, I can't do this shit anymore.
00:59:17I don't want to do this shit anymore.
00:59:19You showed me that I can be better, Ava.
00:59:25I want to trust you.
00:59:27You still lied to me.
00:59:30Okay, I'm not asking you to trust me right now.
00:59:32I'm asking you to give me a chance to prove that you can.
00:59:35Because I love you, Ava.
00:59:41Don't.
00:59:42Don't say that if you don't mean it.
00:59:46I mean it.
00:59:59I love you too.
01:00:06As long as I have you, I don't care what happens to me next.
01:00:12You know what we have to do, right?
01:00:14We have to go to the cops now.
01:00:20Look who we have here.
01:00:22Two for the price of one.
01:00:31I told you I wanted out.
01:00:33You really thought it was going to be that easy?
01:00:38I, I, I.
01:00:39Where do you think you're going?
01:00:44Hey, let her go.
01:00:45Ah!
01:00:46Ah!
01:01:04Trust me, that next shot won't be in the air.
01:01:10To the warehouse.
01:01:12Now.
01:01:26Whoa.
01:01:28Hold, Hunter.
01:01:30What the hell is wrong with you guys?
01:01:32This is crazy.
01:01:33No.
01:01:33This is survival.
01:01:37Look who it is.
01:01:46Hit her, baby.
01:01:50Ava!
01:01:51That's my girl.
01:01:53Tie her up.
01:01:58Hunter!
01:01:59Fucking let her go.
01:02:01Inside!
01:02:01Now!
01:02:12Come on, man.
01:02:13Don't do this.
01:02:18Declan, you killed Lauren.
01:02:20Her OD wasn't an accident, man.
01:02:22He's a monster.
01:02:24I know.
01:02:26You know what he...
01:02:28Aren't you fucking angry?
01:02:30Of course I'm fucking angry.
01:02:31What am I supposed to do about it, huh?
01:02:33If they go down, they're going to take me down with them.
01:02:43That's it.
01:02:48We have to do something.
01:02:50They can't pull this shit again.
01:02:52Don't worry, baby.
01:02:54I know just what to do.
01:03:09You're afraid, aren't you?
01:03:11Fuck off.
01:03:12You are.
01:03:14You're always afraid.
01:03:15Not just now.
01:03:18That's why you have to crawl and scrape and bite for power every chance you get.
01:03:23Deep down inside, you're more afraid than anyone else.
01:03:28And now you've shacked up with this psycho.
01:03:31Just because you don't have to do this, you can still...
01:03:33I said shut up!
01:03:36Gaggar.
01:03:59Ava's a good person, Declan.
01:04:00She doesn't deserve it.
01:04:03She saved me, man.
01:04:04She showed me that I'm not alone.
01:04:07That's what I thought, too.
01:04:09About Lauren.
01:04:11Thought I finally found someone who had my back.
01:04:16I really loved her.
01:04:26You know, these are the pills your friend, Lily, took.
01:04:31The same pills that caused the OD you saved her from.
01:04:37Too bad she isn't here to return the favor.
01:04:41Wait, what?
01:04:44What are you doing?
01:04:45I'm doing what needs to be done.
01:04:49Drew, you can't do this again.
01:04:51Then why not?
01:04:53I got away with the last song.
01:04:57Please, Declan.
01:04:58Don't let them hurt Ava.
01:05:00Don't let them hurt Ava like they hurt Lauren.
01:05:13Do you have a better idea?
01:05:25I'm going to have a lot of fun making sure you choke this down.
01:05:31Baby!
01:05:32Orexia, shoot her!
01:05:38Did you kill them?
01:05:39They're just electrocuted.
01:05:41Unconscious.
01:05:42Well, I have to kill you.
01:05:43Jessica, please.
01:05:45Please, please, don't do this.
01:05:46You don't have to do this, Jessica, please.
01:06:02Hunter?
01:06:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:06:12Ava, no, don't do this to me.
01:06:13Come on, Ava, don't do this.
01:06:15Don't do this to me, bro.
01:06:22Hunter, what are you doing?
01:06:28Yeah, 911, I need help.
01:06:31Cops?
01:06:31Hunter, you can't do that.
01:06:32I don't fucking care.
01:06:34I'm at 5246 Pine Lane.
01:06:36You got to hurry.
01:06:42Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:06:45Go, get out of here.
01:06:46Come with me, man.
01:06:48If they find you, they'll arrest you.
01:06:49You'll go to jail.
01:06:51Yeah, would you have left Lauren?
01:07:01Run.
01:07:02Run!
01:07:03Run!
01:07:04Run!
01:07:05Run!
01:07:11Don't do this to me.
01:07:12Come on, don't do this.
01:07:30There she is.
01:07:31You flew in for my graduation?
01:07:38Great speech.
01:07:40Wasn't a dry eye in the house.
01:07:41They're all just impressed because I got shot.
01:07:44Can I see the scar?
01:07:49Went straight through.
01:07:51Didn't even hit a nerve.
01:07:53Doctor said it was a miracle.
01:07:55You're such a badass.
01:07:58And a total genius.
01:08:05So, how about we talk about the elephant in the room?
01:08:08Why haven't you seen Hunter?
01:08:09I heard he just got out of prison.
01:08:13He knows you gave the science fair prize money to his family, right?
01:08:17I'm assuming someone told him.
01:08:20Are you mad at him?
01:08:22No.
01:08:24He gave up everything for me.
01:08:26Of course I'm not mad at him.
01:08:28He saved my life.
01:08:31More than that, he probably saved a bunch of lives.
01:08:33You know, his testimony sent Drew and Rex away for life.
01:08:37And Jessica got ten years.
01:08:38And his cooperation got him a shorter sentence.
01:08:42So, you pay him back by completely ghosting him?
01:08:47I didn't know what to say.
01:08:49It's been six months and you always know what to say.
01:08:52How have you not figured out what to say?
01:08:53I don't know, because thank you for saving my life.
01:08:57I'm sorry everyone's yours.
01:08:59Doesn't exactly have a romantic ring to it.
01:09:02So, you do still like him.
01:09:08Hunter's got a lot going on.
01:09:10He hasn't seen his family in six months.
01:09:13I'm sure I'm the last person he's thinking of right now.
01:09:15I'm pretty sure that's not true.
01:09:22I should go.
01:09:23I can't even be alone for five minutes without my parents sending out a search party.
01:09:27So, last day of school tomorrow.
01:09:30We still on for our annual tradition of rom-coms and cookie dough.
01:09:34Chocolate chips, Heath Ledger, and no bras.
01:09:36Who needs drugs when you've got action like that?
01:09:41Kidding.
01:09:44I love you, you know.
01:09:46I love you too, Lils.
01:09:55I've got good news and even better news.
01:10:04I've got good news and even better news.
01:10:28What are you doing here, Hatch?
01:10:34I'm gonna kill Lili.
01:10:36Please don't.
01:10:37She was actually a really good wingwoman.
01:10:39Apart from her wanting me to sing you a Frankie Valli song.
01:10:43I thought it was a bit too much.
01:10:45And, you know, I can't sing for shit.
01:10:52You look good.
01:10:55So do you.
01:10:59I'm so sorry.
01:11:01I know I don't deserve your forgiveness.
01:11:03Look at me.
01:11:05You saved me, Hunter.
01:11:07You saved me.
01:11:09No, we saved each other.
01:11:11If it wasn't for our fake relationship, I never would have gotten out of that life.
01:11:17You're welcome.
01:11:21So, what now?
01:11:23Are you gonna re-enroll next fall somewhere?
01:11:25I actually managed to get my GED while in prison.
01:11:29What?
01:11:29Yeah.
01:11:30That's incredible, Hunter.
01:11:32Well, the smartest girl I know taught me how to study, so it wasn't too hard.
01:11:38I think I'm just gonna do some independent study next year, reapply to colleges at the end of that.
01:11:42I can do that from anywhere, so.
01:11:46You know, things are actually looking good for my life.
01:11:49But there's still this one thing I feel like I'm missing.
01:11:55That's where you come in.
01:11:57You know, I could really use a good tutor.
01:12:01That could work.
01:12:05Really?
01:12:08Because...
01:12:10I could really use a boyfriend.
01:12:16He's come here already.
01:12:23Yeah, I just wanna be fine as a girl.
01:12:28I'm off the ground.
