00:00:06Is that Alex? Dang. No wonder he's the top most bangable enlisted three years running. He's so fine.
00:00:15Yeah, rich daddy on the school board, isn't it?
00:00:18Today's the student president election? No chance anyone's beating him.
00:00:23So, who's this new guy I'm up against? Any dirt?
00:00:26Xavier. Scholarship kid. Geeky. Still fit, though. Number two on the bangable list, so right behind you. Bit of a
00:00:36loner?
00:00:36Never heard of him.
00:00:38I told you, don't come home without the cash.
00:00:44Hey, this is St. Mountain High. Not a freaking pub.
00:00:51Fine. She won't outrun this.
00:00:55You okay?
00:01:02Yeah, I'm fine.
00:01:06Not even a thank you?
00:01:08At least tell me your name.
00:01:11It's not important.
00:01:17And that is Xavier Miller.
00:01:21All right, Xavier. I'll see you at the debate.
00:01:31All right, let's begin.
00:01:33The football kit budget was inflated 230%.
00:01:37Money that could have paid for students' transport who were working late.
00:01:44Are you accusing my father of corruption? Just stating the facts?
00:01:48Uh, we're going to take a quick five-minute recess.
00:01:54Here's another fact, genius.
00:01:55That extra money was used to help donate to underprivileged kids for new equipment.
00:02:00So, do you see now that you made me look like a fool for absolutely no reason?
00:02:11What would you like to do?
00:02:21Oh, yeah.
00:02:24What is it?
00:02:27Oh, yeah.
00:02:28Oh, yeah.
00:02:29Oh, yeah.
00:02:31Oh, yeah.
00:02:33I'll come back next to you.
00:02:49What the actual fuck?
00:02:55That was unexpected.
00:02:58Did Alex just kiss that dude?
00:03:01I thought he had a gaze.
00:03:03Hey, you good?
00:03:06I want everything on him.
00:03:08And I mean everything.
00:03:11Yeah.
00:03:23I just sold the damn house.
00:03:29What?
00:03:30You had no right.
00:03:32That's all mom left us.
00:03:34Where will we live now?
00:03:35You want to see your old man get beaten to death by lung sharks?
00:03:41I need the money.
00:03:44How about quitting the booze and gambling instead of wrecking our lives?
00:03:57Eight o'clock tonight's school cafe.
00:03:59Got a proposal that could fix your money issues.
00:04:07I hear you laughing, and I see you smile.
00:04:18You know that you're my everything.
00:04:24Whatever this is, make it quick.
00:04:29I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:04:32I can do it.
00:04:40I can do it.
00:04:42What?
00:04:44Were you expecting flowers and chocolates?
00:04:48A contract?
00:04:50Are you seriously trying to hire me as your fake boyfriend?
00:04:52Real romantic, Watson.
00:04:56I call it a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:05:01You see, you clearly need money.
00:05:04And I need to fix my reputation.
00:05:07Well, dating the School of Scholarship Golden Boy is exactly the image boost I need right now.
00:05:13You investigated me?
00:05:15It's more like damage control.
00:05:18You see, you made me look like a fool in front of the entire school, so now you gotta fix
00:05:23it.
00:05:23If it weren't for the homophobia rumors, tanking your poll numbers, would you still want to date a guy?
00:05:31Hell no.
00:05:32No, no, no.
00:05:33You see, this is just business.
00:05:39Duration?
00:05:40Tell the election's over.
00:05:46Keep it professional, Watson.
00:05:54Don't get any ideas.
00:06:00Don't you worry.
00:06:02Feelings aren't on the menu.
00:06:21Let the games begin, boyfriend.
00:06:28Let the games begin, boyfriend.
00:06:33No one's watching us.
00:06:35You can drop the act now.
00:06:37You should probably tell your heart rate that.
00:06:39Jumping like crazy in there.
00:06:41Whatever.
00:06:41I'm leaving.
00:06:42Hey.
00:06:43Did I say you could leave?
00:06:46We have a frat party to hit.
00:06:48It's time to show off St. Mountain's new favorite couple.
00:06:58Is this part of the PR stem, too?
00:07:01Obviously, one accidental kiss is not going to sell this relationship, now is it?
00:07:05Let's make it believable.
00:07:06Hey, look out!
00:07:07It's our star quarterback and his cute, nerdy boyfriend.
00:07:13Watson, you're late.
00:07:14You know what that means, right?
00:07:15Penalty, right?
00:07:18Let's go!
00:07:19Alright, boys.
00:07:20Rules are simple.
00:07:22Ice cube goes mouth to mouth.
00:07:24No hands allowed.
00:07:25No dropping.
00:07:29Woo!
00:07:32Do we really have to do this?
00:07:34Are you scared?
00:07:42Technically, this is not sanitary.
00:07:44for you.
00:08:18Yo, what? That wasn't passing. That was straight up speeding. Look at Xavier. He's turning
00:08:28into a tomato. What the hell is wrong with you? We need people to buy this, right? What's
00:08:42that? Extra credit homework? Our campaign team thinks we're lacking couples' chemistry.
00:08:48Voters aren't convinced. Well, pro tip, genius. Kissing with your eyes open is a dead giveaway.
00:09:09You just ruined our chemistry reference. Voters want sparks, not stats. And Mark set up that
00:09:17whole livestream thing, so I think it's time to show the world just how in love we are.
00:09:21You didn't think to ask me first? Contract clearly states you do what I say. Oh, why don't
00:09:30you guys get a load of this? A robot boyfriend here is glitching again. What? Hey, it's got
00:09:38you so worked up, huh? You need a shower. Fine. But you're joining me, and Mark's going to
00:09:48livestream the whole thing. It's time to showcase those acting chops.
00:10:08Come on, grab me a towel. You didn't think to get one before the strip show? I could walk
00:10:14go out negative, right? What? Why so shy all of a sudden? You can have a quick look if you
00:10:31want. Maybe, uh, a little touch? I'm not gonna stop you.
00:10:58By popular demand, you ask, and we answer. Question number one. What was your first impression
00:11:04of each other? He's loud. Seriously? Well, my first impression of him was, who is this
00:11:11mysterious nerd calling me out in front of everybody? It was harsh, I gotta admit, but boy,
00:11:18was it cute. Still loud. Question number two. What's your favorite thing about each other?
00:11:26Um, I don't know. A sense of responsibility, maybe? Thanks. Well, my favorite thing about
00:11:33him will have to be his fingers. Excuse me? Long, elegant, very skillful. All right, next question.
00:11:44Next question is, who is your most unforgettable kiss?
00:12:06Guys, major problem. Someone leaked the contract? Everyone knows you're faking right now.
00:12:16Oh, my God. Did y'all see this? This had a freaking contract? Yes. I thought they were
00:12:22gold. What a scam. The final debate is in three days. If we don't turn this around fast,
00:12:31you're finished. And I know, Mark. I already got people tracing the hack. Whoever fucking leaked
00:12:36this file is a dead man. Oh, God. Okay, so, what are our options, huh? Everyone's seen
00:12:45the contract by now. There's no denying it. Unless... Unless... What? Unless we make
00:12:59it real. Unless we make it real. I don't care if the contract was fake. All I know is at
00:13:13some point it stopped being pretend to me. I couldn't stand you at first. Typical quarterback.
00:13:20Arrogant. Fully yourself. But then I saw you after practice. Pushing yourself harder than
00:13:26everyone else. And I noticed how you always take the fall for your teammates. And the way
00:13:31you'd look at me in class. Savior, I... Do you honestly think I've been faking this whole time?
00:13:52The hacker broke into your laptop. The whole school is watching this feed right now.
00:14:10Holy shit! I can fake confidence during debates, smile through press conferences, even pretend I care about
00:14:23school traditions that I don't even like. There's no way I could fake this. And yeah, maybe it
00:14:29started as a deal. But... Now... Everything I said was true.
00:14:42Cut! That... Was perfect. At least the votes won't go down now. I've done my bit.
00:14:54Hey. Hey. Thank you. Just doing what we agreed to. But... Seeing you hurt is never part of the deal.
00:15:10I owe you, Xavier. And listen, um... Whatever happens with the election, I just...
00:15:16It's nothing. Just sticking to the script. Right?
00:15:21You sure that's all it is? You sure there's no hidden feelings creeping up?
00:15:27God, you never stop, do you?
00:15:30Dead end on the hacker. Whoever it was was bouncing off of multiple VPNs.
00:15:36Great. So you're dealing with a pro. Listen, everybody is going to be watching your every move.
00:15:42Okay? Every look, every moment... Has to be authentic.
00:15:48We got this. Right?
00:15:55Ah, shit. Left my football gear at home. That school paper shoots them low.
00:16:02Wanna come with?
00:16:04Sure. Cause I've got nothing else to do.
00:16:06Come on.
00:16:12Okay. Something is definitely going on between those two.
00:16:25Whoa. This is your average family home?
00:16:28It's my father's place. Not mine.
00:16:31Meaning?
00:16:33Meaning I have an older half-brother and a dad who's super big on competition, so...
00:16:38If I want any part of this family fortune, then...
00:16:42I have to beat him.
00:16:45Winning that election...
00:16:48It's the first step.
00:16:50Keep your family drama to yourself.
00:16:52I'm not your therapist.
00:16:55Are you serious?
00:16:57I thought you were the one who wanted to make this look believable.
00:17:00Fine.
00:17:01I'll keep your sad rich boy drama in mind.
00:17:04Shut up.
00:17:05Come on.
00:17:08Alright, well, I need to go grab my jersey, but...
00:17:11Why don't you read a book or something?
00:17:23Well, well, I didn't expect to see you here.
00:17:28Sorry, uh, do I know you?
00:17:33You must be Xavier, the famous boyfriend.
00:17:37And you are?
00:17:39I'm Noah.
00:17:41Alex's older brother.
00:17:45Ouch. Cold reception.
00:17:48So, has Alex's fiancé met you yet?
00:17:52Fiancé?
00:17:54Oh.
00:17:55Did he leave out that little detail?
00:17:58This whole fake boyfriend thing.
00:18:00He's done it before.
00:18:02Left quite the trail of broken hearts.
00:18:05What are you implying?
00:18:08Alex doesn't date guys.
00:18:10He'll only get yourself hurt.
00:18:12You deserve to be with someone better.
00:18:16Someone like me.
00:18:17Are you insane?
00:18:19I'm just gay.
00:18:21An observant.
00:18:24Let's not pretend that you're straight too now, sweetheart.
00:18:31Get off, I'm not.
00:18:33Then why are you shaking?
00:18:35You're seriously messed up.
00:18:37Takes one to know one.
00:18:39You can't lie to yourself forever.
00:18:42Alex can offer you fame, money, all the shiny things in life.
00:18:46But I can offer you something he never could.
00:18:49Something real.
00:18:51Get off.
00:18:53What the fuck are you doing?
00:18:56Excellent timing, little brother.
00:18:59You stay the hell away from me.
00:19:02You hear me?
00:19:08Relax, babe.
00:19:09It's just some friendly competition.
00:19:13I'll be seeing you real soon.
00:19:16I can feel it.
00:19:19Asshole.
00:19:20It's okay.
00:19:25Look.
00:19:25Don't believe a word he says.
00:19:27Noah thrives on chaos.
00:19:30Including the part about your fiancé?
00:19:34Look, that's just an arranged thing.
00:19:36My dad's idea.
00:19:38I honestly don't even know her.
00:19:40You don't owe me an explanation, Alex.
00:19:42I'm just a part of your PR stunt, right?
00:19:46Is that really all this is to him?
00:19:50Right.
00:19:51Yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:19:55I'm heading back.
00:19:57No.
00:19:58Why don't you just stay here?
00:20:00The guest room's open.
00:20:02I don't usually stay the night.
00:20:05Alright, then let me drive you.
00:20:12Hello.
00:20:13Congrats, kid.
00:20:15You're officially homeless.
00:20:17Don't bother coming back.
00:20:19You're on your own now.
00:20:24I guess I might take you up on that offer.
00:20:27Best decision you're going to make tonight.
00:20:28Now, let me show you to your room.
00:20:31Or mine if you prefer.
00:20:41You know I always dreamt of going pro in the NFL.
00:20:46I'm not surprised.
00:20:48You're football crazy.
00:20:50Yeah.
00:20:51I was a quarterback.
00:20:53Even one state.
00:20:55My dad, he had other plans for me.
00:21:00Said he wouldn't have a Watson waste his future throwing a ball around.
00:21:09So, I became the perfect son.
00:21:12Got straight A's.
00:21:14Student body president.
00:21:17Anything in hopes that he let me play football again.
00:21:24Now your turn.
00:21:27Secret for secret.
00:21:28You've already seen enough.
00:21:30My father's a gambler.
00:21:32My family's a mess.
00:21:34There's nothing left to tell.
00:21:37See, I don't buy it.
00:21:39I think you have a bigger secret to tell, but...
00:21:41You're just too scared to say it out loud.
00:21:50Tell me.
00:21:51It'll be our little secret.
00:22:05I want to be the only one you tell.
00:22:07Let's not pretend that you're straight two now, sweetheart.
00:22:10You're wasted.
00:22:12Sleep it off.
00:22:14I'm taking a shower.
00:22:25I don't pay you for a cuddler.
00:22:27I don't pay you for a cuddler.
00:22:34Alex doesn't date guys.
00:22:37You'll only get yourself hurt.
00:22:42The real secret is...
00:22:44I fell for someone I wasn't supposed to.
00:22:53Alex.
00:22:54Don't leave.
00:22:56We really shouldn't.
00:22:58Stay.
00:23:00Please.
00:23:15I know your little secret.
00:23:20What secret?
00:23:22It's about me.
00:23:26Isn't it?
00:23:37Alex.
00:23:39Tell me.
00:23:41Everything.
00:23:54It was just a dream.
00:24:02Don't go.
00:24:04Alex, let go.
00:24:06Stay.
00:24:21Alex?
00:24:35Thanks.
00:24:37Since when did you become Mr. Homemaker?
00:24:40I'd impress you somehow, right?
00:24:42And what better way to do that than a nice breakfast?
00:25:09So check it out. Chef Alex's world famous grilled cheese. Michelin star pending.
00:25:15Did it survive a crime scene?
00:25:18Hey hey hey, I'll have you know that I ate sandwich making at summer camp, okay?
00:25:26Oh.
00:25:29Okay. Fine. Tastes a lot better than it looks.
00:25:33There we go! Am I boyfriend material or what?
00:25:47Alex doesn't date guys.
00:25:49You okay?
00:25:50Drop the act, Alex. There's no one even around to impress.
00:25:55What's that supposed to mean?
00:26:00Forget it. I'm heading to the library.
00:26:04Xavier! Wait, you barely touched your grilled cheese!
00:26:13Come on.
00:26:16Damn it!
00:26:25Oh, you're John's kid, right? Your dad owes me a lot of money.
00:26:32He sold the house. The debt should be cleared.
00:26:35But he didn't pay me a single cent.
00:26:38Shit! How deep is this old bastard anyway?
00:26:41You're his kid.
00:26:43So either you settled his debt, or I start taking pieces.
00:26:47It's between you and him. Please, just leave me out of it.
00:26:57Nah. You're definitely involved in it now.
00:27:18Back off, asshole.
00:27:20Who the fuck?
00:27:23Who the fuck?
00:27:39You touch him again, you're dead.
00:27:45Two grand, two days.
00:27:49Or your old man's missing a kidney.
00:27:59Alex!
00:28:02You okay?
00:28:03No. Are you?
00:28:06Look at your face.
00:28:10You idiot! Why would you do that?
00:28:13Alright, maybe I went a little bit overboard.
00:28:18We need to go to the hospital.
00:28:24You've got an old injury, and now you've seriously torn the ligaments.
00:28:28You're out for the rest of the season.
00:28:30If you push it, you might never step on the field again.
00:28:38I've ruined your entire future.
00:28:40Your entire dream.
00:28:44Hope all is my dream.
00:28:46You're what I really want.
00:28:48You are insane.
00:28:52Well, since this is technically your fault,
00:28:55you definitely owe me.
00:28:57Then what exactly do you want?
00:29:00Move in with me.
00:29:01Be my personal nurse.
00:29:08Fine.
00:29:10I guess it's the least I can do.
00:29:15Now feed me.
00:29:17Absolutely not.
00:29:23All right.
00:29:25Just one bite.
00:29:28And here begins your life as my caretaker.
00:29:48You bite now?
00:29:50You started it.
00:29:52Maybe I'll have to finish it.
00:29:54Won't I?
00:29:59Remember?
00:30:00No strenuous activity?
00:30:02Especially involving your arm?
00:30:04Well, what if Xavier's on top?
00:30:09Kids these days.
00:30:11You are impossible.
00:30:14It's a love story, babe.
00:30:16I'm just staying in character.
00:30:21Fine.
00:30:21If that's what it takes.
00:30:25Welcome home, babe.
00:30:27I'm just getting wet.
00:30:29I'm just getting wet.
00:30:31Ow!
00:30:32Look, I have one arm.
00:30:34The floors are all wet.
00:30:36This is a potential drowning hazard.
00:30:38Can I get a little help?
00:30:40Nice try.
00:30:41You'll manage.
00:30:49Xavier, help!
00:30:51I slipped!
00:30:54You are unbelievable.
00:30:57Unbelievably sexy, maybe.
00:31:08Stop it.
00:31:11Get your clothes on.
00:31:12Are you blushing?
00:31:14I am not.
00:31:15Sure.
00:31:22Hold this.
00:31:24Now hold that.
00:31:25And if it drops, then...
00:31:27That must mean you want me.
00:31:29You're insane.
00:31:31Maybe.
00:31:42You can start here.
00:31:47Whoa.
00:31:50Careful.
00:31:51My skin's more sensitive than my reputation.
00:31:57Shut up.
00:32:11You're my friend.
00:32:12I'm just coming down.
00:32:14Can I be, too?
00:32:15No.
00:32:32You've been eating.
00:32:33It's a sun and then I can't wait until I'm done.
00:32:39I've had to wait until you want to see it.
00:32:42Bath time is couple time, right?
00:32:44Do you think this is funny?
00:32:46Just lighten up. I'm just joking.
00:32:49Am I just a punchline to you?
00:32:51A prop for your campaign?
00:32:53I stuck around because I cared about you.
00:32:56And this is how you treat me?
00:33:06Did I overreact?
00:33:14I'm sorry.
00:33:18Okay, but...
00:33:20What if I actually fell in love with you?
00:33:39I thought that I hated you, but it turns out I just hated how much I wanted you.
00:33:50Let the games begin, boyfriend.
00:33:55No one's watching us. You can drop the act now.
00:34:01At first I just wanted the rumors to stop.
00:34:05And signing that contract felt like my only choice.
00:34:14Unless we make it real.
00:34:19And then when everything fell apart, when I was losing the election...
00:34:27You stepped in.
00:34:31You saved me.
00:34:34And you didn't have to.
00:34:37Get off!
00:34:39What the fuck are you doing?
00:34:42What the fuck are you doing?
00:34:44When I saw him that close to you...
00:34:48It hurt more than losing the election ever could.
00:34:58So...
00:34:59Would you consider making this real with me?
00:35:12I forget what I said earlier.
00:35:13I just...
00:35:23Are you sure?
00:35:24Are you sure?
00:35:39You're driving me crazy.
00:35:42Stop pretending like it isn't happening.
00:36:11I'm a real kid.
00:36:12I'll be just kidding, I'm like.
00:36:15I'm like.
00:36:37I'm gonna be kidding.
00:36:38I'm like...
00:36:41I'm loving it, I'm like...
00:36:41Did I catch you stealing kisses again?
00:36:44You know that's a serious crime, right?
00:36:47Guess you'll have to arrest me, officer.
00:36:54You are way too addictive.
00:36:58I might need rehab.
00:37:00Sorry, no can do.
00:37:03You've got a campaign to salvage.
00:37:06Interviews lined up.
00:37:07And you're currently wearing exactly zero clothes.
00:37:15Sounds like you prefer me fully dressed.
00:37:19Disappointing.
00:37:21I prefer you elected, actually.
00:37:38Dude, your poll numbers shot up after that speech. Look at this.
00:37:42You're like a senior year Tom Holland.
00:37:45Charismatic, relatable, and still sexy enough for thirst edits.
00:37:49So, you're saying my chances are good again?
00:37:51Dude, you're literally back to number one. Look at this.
00:37:54I mean, all positive comments, too.
00:37:57But seriously, how did you pull this off?
00:38:00Xavier was against this whole thing from the start.
00:38:02Now he's editing your speeches, organizing your life.
00:38:06Maybe it's because we're actually together now.
00:38:09Right. I was going to say he's acting more like your mom, but yeah.
00:38:13Whatever works.
00:38:15Man, what kind of witchcraft did you have to pull to get Sheldon Cooper to date you?
00:38:24I didn't use anything. I literally just fell for him.
00:38:35I caught feelings for him. That's all it is.
00:38:38Wow, so you and him started fake and then it got real.
00:38:45Dude, he's Xavier Miller. He's like an AI bot with a built-in firewall. Totally unreadable.
00:38:52Nah, it's just surface code. He's got to dig a little deeper.
00:38:58Listen man, all I'm saying is it makes a lot more sense for him to be using you for something
00:39:03here.
00:39:05Using me for what exactly?
00:39:08Don't forget, he was your biggest competition.
00:39:11Okay, what if this is a long con and he's going to flip on you at the end?
00:39:15Look, nobody's that good at faking it.
00:39:18I trust him.
00:39:27Hey babe, we were just talking about you.
00:39:36Oh god, it's actually real.
00:39:49Are you job hunting?
00:39:51See, I said you didn't have to pay me back.
00:39:53I thought I made that clear.
00:39:55I know you don't have to think about this kind of stuff, but I do.
00:39:59I'm just planning ahead, figuring things out for myself.
00:40:06Well, the only thing we have to figure out right now is how to get some sleep.
00:40:24Seriously, can you ever just sleep like a normal person?
00:40:27Normal's boring.
00:40:29And I'm one of a kind.
00:40:30You're crushing me, move.
00:40:34Make me.
00:40:36Hey, stop.
00:40:41Stop.
00:40:44Fine.
00:40:45Fine.
00:40:56Hey, I just wrapped up a practice.
00:40:58Thought I could swing by and pick you up.
00:41:00Could ride home together.
00:41:01Swing by?
00:41:03You're half the city away.
00:41:05Okay, fine.
00:41:06You got me.
00:41:07Maybe I miss you.
00:41:09And also, I'm starving and only your pasta's gonna hit the spot.
00:41:13I'm actually tempted to clock out right now.
00:41:18Oh, customer.
00:41:20See you tonight?
00:41:23Welcome, what can I get you?
00:41:24Black coffee, no sugar, and a little bit of you.
00:41:30What are you doing here?
00:41:31I just had some business, but I couldn't help but drop in.
00:41:36Black coffee, no sugar coming up.
00:41:42Oh, and by the way, did you hear the news?
00:41:45Alex is planning on dumping your ass.
00:41:47Excuse me?
00:41:49Daddy's had it all arranged.
00:41:51Alex's fiance flies in next week.
00:41:53Apparently, he needs you out of the picture.
00:42:02Enjoy.
00:42:09Call me anytime, sexy.
00:42:24Just who we needed right now.
00:42:29Hey, I just saw Noah leaving.
00:42:32Is he bothering you again?
00:42:34Same old. Just stirring the pot.
00:42:36Though he did mention your fiance's flying in next week.
00:42:40Oh.
00:42:42So it's true.
00:42:45I was gonna tell you once things were sorted, but I just didn't want to stress you out, you know?
00:42:50Oh, cool. So I'm just some fragile thing you need to protect?
00:42:53No, I barely even know her.
00:42:55She's just some random girl my dad set me up with.
00:42:57Then why hide it? What's the point?
00:43:04I was scared.
00:43:06I was scared.
00:43:07I'm losing you.
00:43:12Let's get out of here.
00:43:14So we're okay?
00:43:15No.
00:43:17But, we still have roles to play.
00:43:19Kissing your lips and I'm coming alive.
00:43:22And right now...
00:43:24I need to get my boyfriend costume.
00:43:29You park the car.
00:43:30I'll go in first.
00:43:31Oh, wait, wait, wait.
00:43:33Where's my goodbye kiss?
00:43:45I have an appointment. A friend booked it for me.
00:43:49Appointments have to be confirmed by the client directly.
00:43:52And no offense, but you don't exactly fit our typical clientele.
00:44:01So judgy.
00:44:03Yeesh.
00:44:04Miss Brown.
00:44:05Delightful to see you today.
00:44:07How can I help you?
00:44:08You're Alex's friend, right?
00:44:10Yeah.
00:44:15Serve him.
00:44:16But he doesn't have a...
00:44:17Do you want to lose your job?
00:44:19I thought we saw.
00:44:22Thanks.
00:44:23You wouldn't happen to be a friend of Alex's too?
00:44:33He wouldn't be thanking me if he knew.
00:44:35I was Alex's fiancee.
00:44:38Something like that.
00:44:40I'm Laura.
00:44:41I'll see you.
00:44:54Mr. Watson.
00:44:55Pleasure to see you.
00:44:56Can I interest you in our latest collection?
00:44:58Oh, well, actually I'm shopping for my boyfriend here.
00:45:02Do you really have to announce it to everyone?
00:45:04I can tweet it out if you'd like.
00:45:08Absolutely delighted to assist you both today.
00:45:12This way, please.
00:45:15Now, the first step to looking like you have your shit together?
00:45:20A suit that actually fits.
00:45:23And this one, it fits you perfectly.
00:45:27Go on. Try it on.
00:45:29Why do I need a suit?
00:45:31I mean, you're the one running for student body president.
00:45:34You see, we both are.
00:45:46Savile row cut.
00:45:48Floss.
00:45:50And now, the perfect pair of kicks to tie it all together.
00:46:08You don't have to do this.
00:46:10But I want to.
00:46:13Because you're worth it.
00:46:19Alright.
00:46:20Looking good.
00:46:22Does need a touch more tailoring though.
00:46:31Alright, let's get this jacket off.
00:46:32Hey, wait.
00:46:33What are you doing?
00:46:35Relax.
00:46:35Okay, I'm not gonna bite.
00:46:37Unless you want me to.
00:46:41I'm just measuring.
00:46:44Okay.
00:46:56Wow.
00:46:5828 inch waist, huh?
00:47:00Looks like someone needs some carbs in their life.
00:47:05Hey.
00:47:06I'm still mad at you.
00:47:10Maybe I'll just have to kiss you until you forgive me.
00:47:18Mr. Watson.
00:47:20Your suit.
00:47:21It's ready.
00:47:23Yeah, just leave it outside.
00:47:31Hey.
00:47:32Don't we clean up nice, huh?
00:47:38Smile.
00:48:04Hey, Mark.
00:48:04What's up?
00:48:06Emergency.
00:48:06Get to the school right now.
00:48:08Things just blew up.
00:48:16Finally, come here.
00:48:20Did someone leak the contract again or something?
00:48:22No.
00:48:22Worse.
00:48:24We have a new opponent and she's rising fast.
00:48:27We have to do something.
00:48:29Wait, wait, wait.
00:48:30She?
00:48:30Yeah.
00:48:31Laura Brown.
00:48:33You know, the daughter of crime family billionaire Walter Brown.
00:48:38Laura.
00:48:41You know Laura too?
00:48:42At the tailor shop.
00:48:44She acted like she knew you.
00:48:45She does.
00:48:47She's my fiance.
00:48:50Fiance?
00:48:51When the hell were you gonna tell us about that?
00:48:53Look, it was just an arranged thing from my dad.
00:48:56I honestly barely know her.
00:49:00Okay, well she knows plenty about you two.
00:49:02She's charming the hell out of everyone.
00:49:05Your numbers are dropping.
00:49:06Fast.
00:49:08I mean, this can't just be a coincidence.
00:49:10Exactly.
00:49:12She's here for a reason and that's not to win some election.
00:49:17This just became personal.
00:49:22If people find out about this engagement, it's game over.
00:49:26She'll win by a mile.
00:49:27Unless we find a crack in her game.
00:49:29There's no time.
00:49:31I can handle her.
00:49:35Sounds exciting.
00:49:39Why are you doing this?
00:49:41Maybe it's because you have a secret boyfriend?
00:49:44As far as I'm concerned, our parents set us up on one date.
00:49:48Nothing more.
00:49:49You sure you don't want to give me another shot?
00:49:51I'm way more interesting than him.
00:49:53If you want a fair fight, then fine.
00:49:57But play dirty again.
00:49:59I won't be so polite.
00:50:04Big words.
00:50:05We'll see how long that confidence lasts.
00:50:13Get out.
00:50:14You're not welcome here.
00:50:15Relax.
00:50:17I'm just here to chat.
00:50:18You said you want to get into Princeton, right?
00:50:20Lifelong dream?
00:50:21Well, this is signed by the Vice President.
00:50:24Guaranteed entry.
00:50:27Are you bribing me?
00:50:29I figured you'd say that.
00:50:31But my father doesn't take no, well.
00:50:33And your dad, poor John.
00:50:35He owes a lot of people money.
00:50:38People who don't take kindly to being ignored.
00:50:41Keep my father out of this.
00:50:42Then don't force me to call in favors.
00:50:46Relax.
00:50:46I'm not stealing your boyfriend.
00:50:48I'm just...
00:50:49Showing you a better future.
00:50:51Love is overrated anyway.
00:50:54Maybe to you.
00:50:55And for Alex, too.
00:50:58Oh, has he wished you a happy birthday yet?
00:51:08Need a ride?
00:51:09Just cost you a water bottle out the trunk.
00:51:12He doesn't even know it's my birthday.
00:51:14Fine.
00:51:17Done.
00:51:27Happy birthday, Bill.
00:51:30Happy birthday.
00:51:34You can finally type the letter M without your laptop imploding.
00:51:39Thank you, Alex.
00:51:43Hop in.
00:51:45There's something else I want to show you.
00:51:57This is nice.
00:52:01Yes, it is.
00:52:04And I know you're not too big on surprises,
00:52:06but I just couldn't resist.
00:52:10I don't mind them, if they're from you.
00:52:14And listen, I'm not really a romantic.
00:52:18You know, I'm not going to be outside your window
00:52:19with a violin and flowers or writing you poetry.
00:52:24You bought me a laptop.
00:52:25Pretty romantic and practical.
00:52:29Okay, look, the point is,
00:52:30whatever this is.
00:52:33I mean, us.
00:52:35All in.
00:52:37For real.
00:52:39I don't need violin serenades or poetry.
00:52:44I just need you.
00:52:45Oops.
00:52:57Well, you got me.
00:53:16Let's go back to yours.
00:53:18Let's go.
00:53:27What would you do if I got up and left right now?
00:53:29I'd probably cry like an idiot.
00:53:32Don't even think about it.
00:53:50You know, that thing was supposed to help you ace exams, not interrupt morning cuddles.
00:53:55I tracked the truth under account that leaked our contract.
00:53:58Someone local.
00:54:00Then it must be someone at school, right?
00:54:04Did you find anything else?
00:54:06They accidentally switched their webcam on.
00:54:10Laura.
00:54:10Laura.
00:54:16She's breaking all sorts of privacy laws.
00:54:19We should expose her.
00:54:20But if we do that, then she'll twist it.
00:54:21Make us look like bullies.
00:54:23What else can we do?
00:54:24If people find out about our engagement, then they're going to take her side.
00:54:27I mean, it is true.
00:54:28I'm engaged.
00:54:30Then what?
00:54:31I might have something.
00:54:33Why don't we try making some viral couples TikToks?
00:54:37You know, wholesome stuff.
00:54:38Charity angle.
00:54:40Tends to work.
00:54:43Fine.
00:54:44Let's do it.
00:54:56You did that on purpose.
00:54:58You bet I did.
00:55:16Cut.
00:55:17That's perfect.
00:55:21Next up, book donations for underprivileged kids.
00:55:24I'm here with viral campus couple Xavier Miller and Alex Watson.
00:55:29Welcome.
00:55:29Hey, everyone.
00:55:30Happy to be here.
00:55:32Let's see.
00:55:33First question blowing up the chat.
00:55:34What made you guys pick this project?
00:55:36Growing up, books were my only escape.
00:55:39Reading helped me get through some tough times.
00:55:41It's important for me to pass that on.
00:55:43Yeah.
00:55:43It's like the one thing we never fight about either.
00:55:46Hey.
00:55:47I'm Alex's friend.
00:55:50Quick question from the comments.
00:55:52Since you both are queer, thoughts on gay guys marrying girls?
00:55:56Is it just doing what you gotta do or is there more to it?
00:56:12It's a good question.
00:56:15It's a good question.
00:56:15You know, maybe there's more to that than people think.
00:56:21What's worse?
00:56:23Someone keeping secrets or someone leaking it anonymously?
00:56:27Touché.
00:56:28Okay.
00:56:29All right, guys.
00:56:30Back on track.
00:56:31Um, Xavier, did you have a favorite book as a kid?
00:56:35Tata.
00:56:35Uh, The Hobbit.
00:56:37I always wanted my own little cozy Hobbit hole.
00:56:41What the hell is wrong with you?
00:56:46Are you trying to ruin my...
00:56:57Are you out of your mind?
00:57:00I'm your fiancé.
00:57:01It's just one little kiss.
00:57:02What's the big deal?
00:57:03Oh, come on, Laura.
00:57:05You and I both know that engagement would never happen.
00:57:08Using a fake relationship just to win votes?
00:57:10That's pathetic, even for you.
00:57:12Xavier and I don't need your approval.
00:57:14And if you threaten him one more time behind my back,
00:57:17it won't end well.
00:57:19Oh, you found out?
00:57:20Good.
00:57:21Maybe you'll keep a better eye on him then next time.
00:57:23Things might get uglier.
00:57:24What do you want from me?
00:57:29Everything I'm entitled to.
00:57:35Xavier, get to the shop right now.
00:57:41Why? What's wrong?
00:57:45Fuck my life, man.
00:57:52Hey!
00:57:53What are you looking at?
00:57:54Get out of here.
00:57:56Hey!
00:57:56You gotta go, man.
00:57:58No, I don't.
00:57:59No.
00:57:59You have to leave.
00:58:00Oh, my son.
00:58:01Oh, my son.
00:58:02Oh, man.
00:58:03He's threatening to shatter all the windows if you didn't show.
00:58:06He's threatening all the customers away.
00:58:07I'm so sorry.
00:58:08I can handle it if you just...
00:58:09Man, I can't keep dealing with this.
00:58:12Next time this happens, you're fired.
00:58:17What do you want?
00:58:18Call your rich boyfriend.
00:58:21What's his name?
00:58:22Alex?
00:58:23Tell him to pay up.
00:58:26Daddy needs a bailout.
00:58:28You sold the house Mom left us.
00:58:30You abandoned me, and now you want a bailout?
00:58:33You filthy little bastard, sleeping around with men, humiliating our family name.
00:58:43I should have sold you off when I had the chance.
00:58:47Next time I see you, I'll make sure the syndicate knows exactly where you are.
00:58:56Ungrateful brat.
00:58:58Think you're above me now just because you got yourself a rich boyfriend?
00:59:03Oh, man.
00:59:05Finally found you, old man.
00:59:11Finally found you, old man.
00:59:13Please, don't hurt me.
00:59:15Just don't hurt me.
00:59:16I'll get the money.
00:59:17Don't hurt me.
00:59:18Oh, it's a little too late for that.
00:59:23Where'd you go after the live stream?
00:59:25I tried calling you like a million times.
00:59:27Just to the library.
00:59:28The library?
00:59:29After what happened?
00:59:30I was just collecting some feedback around school.
00:59:33Got some ideas to boost your polls?
00:59:35Can we not talk about the election right now?
00:59:38I'm just tired, okay?
00:59:44So that's it?
00:59:45You're just giving up?
00:59:47Letting your fiancé take over?
00:59:49What, are you jealous or something?
00:59:51Is there something going on with Laura I should know about?
00:59:53Can we please just not talk about this right now?
00:59:55Well, maybe we should take a break.
01:00:00Xavier, wait!
01:00:11I'm such an idiot thinking I actually meant something to him.
01:00:22Oh, Jesus.
01:00:24Mark, where's Alex?
01:00:26I've been calling.
01:00:27He's at the frat house, last minute Vogue grabbing.
01:00:29And he's not answering his messages.
01:00:30Not even mine?
01:00:32Look, it's the day before the election.
01:00:33He's totally locked in, okay?
01:00:36Hey, you alright?
01:00:38Need any help?
01:00:39It's alright.
01:00:41I'll handle it.
01:00:43Of course.
01:00:45He's got people, goals, a life.
01:00:47I've only ever had him.
01:00:53What am I gonna do now?
01:00:57Wanna make a deal?
01:01:06Your dad owes money to three different gangs, including mine.
01:01:10Please don't hurt him.
01:01:10I promise I'll figure something out.
01:01:13You can't afford it.
01:01:14Besides, if the Hanglino family took him.
01:01:1724 hours, do they start sending body parts?
01:01:19What am I supposed to do?
01:01:27Sign this.
01:01:29And I'll pay off your dad's debt.
01:01:30But on one condition.
01:01:32You have to stop seeing Alex.
01:01:35For good.
01:01:38Where was he when you needed him most?
01:01:41You better keep your word.
01:01:43Bounds don't lie.
01:01:49What the hell did you do?
01:01:51Xavier's not answering my calls.
01:01:53Me?
01:01:54I only saved his father's skin and paid off his debt.
01:01:57What?
01:01:58He should be thanking me.
01:01:59Wait.
01:02:00Debt?
01:02:01What?
01:02:01What debt?
01:02:03Xavier never told me about that.
01:02:05Maybe because he dumped you?
01:02:07He was pretty clear that you're finished.
01:02:09No.
01:02:11No way.
01:02:11No.
01:02:12He wouldn't do that.
01:02:14I need to go talk to him.
01:02:28Why didn't you tell Laura we broke up?
01:02:30Because.
01:02:31It's true.
01:02:33Look, the whole reason I even dated you was for Princeton.
01:02:36Laura sorted that for me.
01:02:38And she bailed my dad out.
01:02:40So our deal?
01:02:41It's done.
01:02:42So you're just gonna dumb me for a college recommendation?
01:02:45Without her, my dad would be dead.
01:02:47And you're just holding a contract over my head.
01:02:51Like I'm some stunt to boost your votes.
01:02:53Xavier, stop!
01:02:54The contract never mattered.
01:02:57Love you.
01:02:59Okay, don't push me away.
01:03:02Love?
01:03:03Just to sob sort of me.
01:03:05Up there on your throne.
01:03:07Treating me like a charity case.
01:03:09I'm done.
01:03:10You know that's not true.
01:03:13You know me.
01:03:14Do I?
01:03:16You wake up in your silk sheets.
01:03:19Drinking your fancy coffee.
01:03:22I don't even know where I'm gonna sleep tonight.
01:03:25We're worlds apart.
01:03:27Xavier, please don't do this.
01:03:29Stay away from me.
01:03:31You make me sick.
01:03:37Just get out of my life.
01:03:38We're done.
01:03:40I just...
01:03:41I said!
01:03:42We're done!
01:03:58I'm so sorry, Alex.
01:04:02That's the hardest thing I've ever done.
01:04:05Sign this.
01:04:07And I'll pay your dad's debt.
01:04:09But in return,
01:04:11you have to cut off Alex.
01:04:12For good.
01:04:15You can't do that.
01:04:17Imagine I post a viral TikTok
01:04:19as the heartbroken fiancé
01:04:21betrayed by her closeted boyfriend.
01:04:24Alex won't just lose the election.
01:04:26He'll lose everything.
01:04:28You're twisting the truth.
01:04:30Just whatever people will believe.
01:04:32He's already losing support,
01:04:34and his family backing is next.
01:04:36Do you really want to watch him lose everything?
01:04:41You're dead weight, Xavier.
01:04:42And we both know it.
01:04:45My family can lift him up.
01:04:47There's only driving down.
01:04:50Alex, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
01:04:53I won't be the reason your life falls apart.
01:04:55So?
01:04:56You get a sign?
01:05:00You better keep your promise.
01:05:03Browns don't lie.
01:05:14Did you forget our agreement?
01:05:24If you want me out of the election, fine.
01:05:27But in return,
01:05:28you cut off Xavier,
01:05:30and introduced me as your fiancé.
01:05:34If not,
01:05:37I will email every voter
01:05:39proof that your relationship was fake
01:05:41the entire time.
01:05:43You'll lose everything.
01:05:46Get out.
01:05:50Love her legacy, Alex.
01:06:22Alex!
01:06:24Alex!
01:06:25Alex!
01:06:27Alex!
01:06:28Alex!
01:06:29Alex!
01:06:30Alex!
01:06:32I'm Alex Watson.
01:06:34And today, I stand here as...
01:06:44Oh my God.
01:06:46Oh my God.
01:06:47Oh my God.
01:06:49Xavier Miller and I were in a fake relationship.
01:06:52Are you serious?
01:06:54We signed a contract.
01:06:56What a fake!
01:06:57You're mine to all of us!
01:07:03It started as fake,
01:07:05but then it...
01:07:07got real.
01:07:10I've never met anyone like Xavier before.
01:07:13You okay?
01:07:19Yeah.
01:07:20I'm fine.
01:07:23Not even a thank you?
01:07:26At least tell me your name.
01:07:29It's not important.
01:07:33And I thought...
01:07:34he was just some arrogant genius who...
01:07:38didn't have time for me.
01:07:42Didn't have time for me.
01:07:44With his stupid on-stage accident.
01:07:46And that kiss.
01:08:06Xavier, I know you're watching.
01:08:08So listen.
01:08:11Fuck the election.
01:08:12Fuck family expectations.
01:08:14And fuck football.
01:08:15None of them matters, Xavier.
01:08:17Because all I ever wanted...
01:08:19was to be with you.
01:08:24The votes are in!
01:08:26The new student body president is...
01:08:29Alex Watson!
01:08:32Come on up and give you a speech.
01:08:39Uh...
01:08:40Where is he?
01:08:42You idiot.
01:08:56What are you doing here?
01:08:58You just won!
01:08:59Ah, screw the election.
01:09:01It's you that I won.
01:09:03But you said winning is everything.
01:09:05Not if it means losing you.
01:09:08Over and over again.
01:09:13Grocery out hand in hand.
01:09:15Over and over again.
01:09:18You're such a reckless idiot.
01:09:20But that was kinda sweet.
01:09:28I just need you.
01:09:29Just need you.
01:09:35Winning you...
01:09:37beats any election.
01:09:40Alright.
01:09:42Now that line is a solid tent.
01:09:50What's with all the construction?
01:09:51They're building something?
01:09:53Close.
01:09:55Private make out spot.
01:09:57Presidential access only.
01:10:01You're president now.
01:10:02Try acting like him.
01:10:03Hey, I'm just keeping my campaign promises.
01:10:10You remembered.
01:10:12Of course.
01:10:16Alright, let's begin.
01:10:18The football kit budget was inflated 230%.
01:10:22Money that could have paid for students transport who were working late.
01:10:25That's the first time someone called me out for real.
01:10:28And it stuck.
01:10:29Already testing out the new spot?
01:10:31Bold.
01:10:35Bold.
01:10:36Already testing out the new spot?
01:10:37Bold.
01:10:38What now?
01:10:40Relax.
01:10:41Just here to say goodbye.
01:10:42Goodbye?
01:10:43Turns out our dads finally saw reason.
01:10:46Engagement's officially cancelled.
01:10:47You're free, Alex.
01:10:49Just like that?
01:10:50Not even worth fighting for?
01:10:52Can you let her finish?
01:10:54Truth is, I didn't want to marry you either.
01:10:56Then why come between us?
01:10:58I just needed to prove myself.
01:11:00To my parents.
01:11:02To everyone.
01:11:05The way you stood by each other.
01:11:08Honestly, I envy that.
01:11:11And the Princeton thing is still on, Xavier.
01:11:14You earned it.
01:11:16Thanks, Laura.
01:11:18I'm off to Paris.
01:11:20New family business venture.
01:11:22Maybe I'll see y'all again sometime.
01:11:24Maybe so.
01:11:34You think she'll be okay?
01:11:36She's tougher than the both of us combined.
01:11:39She'll be fine.
01:11:43Still haven't mastered walking, eh?
01:11:46Only around you.
01:11:47Still haven't mastered walking, eh?
