00:00You
00:03No, whether Lucas bled or not had nothing to do with me
00:06I did not know why he had to come to me for this Lucas did not look surprised the color
00:12slowly drains from Lucas's face
00:13When he spoke again his voice was even softer. I get it Lucas. I like you
00:23What Lily Taylor, did you just say you like Lucas carried across the field for one second?
00:30Everyone went silent
00:34Damn Lucas really is something even the fatty has a crush on him
00:39Lucas is that why you keep rejecting girls you were saving yourself for her
00:45I'm serious
00:48My face
00:50Burned I could not say another word
00:53The football shot past my ear and slammed into the ground behind me the boys who had been laughing shut
01:02up
01:02Lucas looked down at me. I just want to know one thing
01:06What made you think you could confess to me?
01:09Did you think my standards were that low my whole body?
01:15Don't you think you're kind of gross
01:16I
01:19I
01:19Could not take it anymore. I ran into the restaurant
01:22And left my sight inside a star
01:27Suddenly
01:31Next time look in a mirror before you embarrass Lucas
01:35I stood there without moving
01:39Cold water dripped from my hair onto the ground
01:43I had been mocked from my body for years
01:46But Lucas was the first boy who ever defended me
01:49For a while
01:50I thought my life could be different
01:54But today
01:55Lucas crushed that dream himself
01:57I finally understood
01:58Girls like me did not get exceptions
02:01The next morning one of Lucas's friends came over to move his desk
02:05Lucas said he felt sick after yesterday
02:07He's taking a few days off
02:09He asked me to move his seat
02:14After saying that
02:15He seemed to realize how cruel it sounded
02:18He met my numb eyes and quickly added
02:20Not because of you. Don't overthink it
02:22I blinked hard
02:24I could not understand why being bigger than other girls
02:26Why do people hate me this much?
02:29I only ate a little more than they did
02:31Was that really so disgusting?
02:35Three days later Lucas came back
02:37He walked into the classroom with his arm around Bella Hart's waist
02:43Bella was captain of the cheer squad and every guy's dream girl
02:47And I was Lily Taylor
02:49A nobody people only remembered when they needed a joke
02:53Chase could not help whistling
02:55Damn Lucas
02:56Finally got yourself a girlfriend?
02:58So is it real or just for show?
03:02Bella pouted like she was offended
03:04What do you mean?
03:05Do I look like the kind of girl who lets random guys put their hands on my waist?
03:10Lucas lifted his brow lazily
03:11Lucas did not deny it
03:13People started cheering and teasing me
03:16I lowered my head and looked at my workbook
03:19At least no one cared about what happened that day anymore
03:22No one had time to laugh at me
03:24That was already good enough
03:27After that I buried myself in school work
03:29On the next AP calculus test
03:32I beat Ethan Miller, the top student for the first time
03:35The moment class ended, Ethan moved his desk beside mine
03:40Ms. Carter said I keep messing up the written explanations
03:43She told me to learn from you
03:45Then he smiled at me
03:47New seatmate, help me out
03:49It took me a few seconds to realize I had a seatmate again
03:52I was a little happy
03:53So I quickly pulled out my notebook
03:57Here, this is what I use
03:59Thanks
03:59When I looked up by accident, I met Lucas's eyes across the room
04:04He had been watching us for a while
04:06A second later, he looked away first
04:09I did not know my confession had disgusted him that much
04:12So much so that he could not even stand to see me doing okay
04:16The next morning, Ethan brought me two sausage rolls
04:19I had just taken them when Lucas walked over with a low laugh
04:25Didn't know you had such a specific taste, man
04:28Ethan's face changed
04:30What do you mean?
04:36Lucas dropped a stack of printed pictures on my desk
04:40For you
04:41You like this type, right?
04:45Want me to bring you more tomorrow?
04:47What?
04:49Who the hell said I liked fat girls?
04:54Oh, I saw you move seats, I thought you were into her
04:59Was I wrong?
05:00Lucas's friends laughed at him
05:05Ethan cursed under his breath
05:08Then he moved back to his old seat without another word
05:11From beginning to end
05:13Neither of them looked at me
05:14But every word was about me
05:17My eyes fell on the pictures scattered across the desk
05:21The sausage rolls in my hands went cold
05:24Before Lucas walked away
05:26Why would you do this?
05:30What?
05:34Are you that desperate for attention?
05:37Every guy who sits beside you gets the full treatment
05:39After what Lucas did, everything got worse
05:43One morning, I found my desk covered in graffiti
05:47I kept my head down and walked to my locker
05:49The moment I opened it
05:51A stack of printed pictures slipped out and scattered across the floor
05:55Students slowed down as they passed and started laughing
05:59I crouched down and picked up the pictures one by one
06:03After that, no one wanted to hang out with me anymore
06:07They were afraid they would become the next target
06:09During lunch, I sat alone under a tree and took big bites of my food
06:15Even though, I never thought about dieting again
06:18The only time I had tried to lose weight
06:20Was because I liked Lucas more than food
06:23Now, I did not like him anymore
06:25That Friday, we had volleyball class
06:29Halfway through class, it started pouring
06:32Everyone ran toward the gym entrance
06:34They laughed and screamed while covering their heads
06:36I followed behind them
06:38Before I could reach the door
06:40Several girls started knocking me back and forth between them
06:43I lost my balance and fell hard onto the wet court
06:47My kneecap slid out of place
06:49The pain was so sharp that I could not sit up
06:52Then a person stopped beside me
06:55I grabbed one pant leg without thinking
06:58I can't stand, can you help me?
07:01It was Lucas
07:05No
07:05Bella laughed beside him
07:08Maybe if you lost weight, you wouldn't fall so hard
07:12I was soaked through
07:14Lucas did not look at me
07:16He walked past me
07:17I can't help you
07:19Rain kept running into my mouth
07:21But my throat still felt dry
07:24I could only try to push myself up
07:26Near the gym entrance, I heard people talking
07:29She doesn't look like she's faking it
07:30This is too much
07:31Should we help her?
07:33You like her?
07:34You go
07:35Who the hell said I liked fat girls?
07:38It took me almost 10 minutes to sit up
07:41I still could not stand
07:43So I sat quietly in the rain
07:46I forced myself to think about what grandma might make for dinner
07:50Otherwise the pain in my knee and the eyes behind me would break me
07:53In the end, I got up by myself
07:57The voices at the gym entrance never stopped
08:00I did not dare look back
08:03I limped to the security office and called grandma
08:07After hearing what happened, grandma decided I needed to get stronger
08:11From that day on, she planned my meals and made me exercise with her
08:15If they try to knock you down again, hit back
08:19I stayed home for two days before going back to school
08:22That morning, grandma only let me eat one whole wheat egg sandwich
08:25I felt miserable
08:26But soon, Ms. Carter walked into the classroom
08:29Behind her stood a strange transfer student
08:32Ms. Carter looked around the room
08:34Her eyes finally stopped at me
08:36Sebastian Cole, sit beside Lily
08:38After that, she hurried back to the office
08:40Sebastian sat in the empty spot beside me
08:43Neither of us seemed interested in talking
08:46But Blake could never keep his voice down
08:48Lucas, look, this guy is weird
08:52His whole face is covered
08:54What, is he disfigured?
08:56Probably
08:57If he looked good, why would he hide his face?
09:02Ghost boy and chubby Lily
09:04New couple alert
09:05Lucas did not react
09:06He only spun his pen lazily and said nothing
09:10For almost a month, Sebastian and I barely spoke
09:15I did not want to talk
09:16I was afraid the same thing that happened with Ethan would happen again
09:20Then one afternoon after class, I noticed Sebastian lying across his desk
09:24After hesitating for a moment, I walked over
09:28Do you have a stomach ache?
09:32Yeah
09:37I'll take you to the nurse's office
09:38Luckily, he did not pull away when I touched him
09:41He was almost 6 feet 2
09:43Most of his weight leaned against me
09:45Good thing I was sturdy
09:47Otherwise, I would not have been able to hold him up
09:50The nurse gave him medicine
09:53Then she asked me to get him some water
09:55I ran to buy it, then hurried back
09:57By then, Sebastian was the only one left in the nurse's office
10:01You dislike me that much and still help me?
10:04That's pretty kind of you, Lily
10:05I don't dislike you, I thought you hated me, so I didn't talk to you
10:08Why would I hate you?
10:10Because I'm fat
10:13I suddenly felt he was probably not disfigured at all
10:15After that day, Sebastian and I slowly got closer, but he was still strange
10:20He never took off his mask
10:22He barely talked to anyone else, but he always ran with me after school
10:26My body changed, too
10:28Without noticing it, I had gotten stronger
10:31Grandma was pleased
10:32She said I looked healthier now
10:34I never expected Lucas to be the first person at school to notice
10:39That afternoon, I sat on the lawn, finishing the low-fat turkey bowl Grandma had packed for me
10:46I had just picked up my lunchbox when Lucas suddenly grabbed my wrist
10:49You're dieting again?
10:52That's none of your business, Lucas let go
10:54Lucas pulled me toward the cafeteria
10:57You get dizzy when you starve yourself, did you forget? Planning to pass out again?
11:02If you don't let go, I'll bite you
11:05You really don't know who is good to you?
11:08No
11:09Drop the act
11:09After that, I turned and walked back to the classroom
11:13Sebastian was lying across his desk, alone
11:17Is your stomach hurting again?
11:20Sebastian slowly lifted his head
11:23Yeah
11:25I wanted to buy medicine
11:27But I forgot where the nurse's office was
11:30I saw you downstairs just now, but
11:33You were talking to some guy
11:37So I didn't want to interrupt
11:41Lily, it hurts
11:42I'll go buy it for you right now
11:43Wait here
11:46I'll go with you
11:47That way I can remember the route
11:54I heard his arm and help him to open his door
11:57When we went downstairs, we ran into Lucas
11:59Sebastian suddenly raised his balance
12:01I hurt too much to walk
12:03Let me rest for a second, okay?
12:05I opened my mouth
12:06But when he made another soft sound of pain
12:08I could not refuse
12:11Lucas's eyes turned cold at once
12:13He had just taken one step toward us
12:16When Blake and Bella caught up from behind us
12:19Whoa!
12:20Fatty and Ghost Boy
12:21What are you two doing?
12:24What did you call her?
12:25Fatty
12:25Am I wrong?
12:28Sebastian punched him
12:29So he could react
12:31I rushed between them and shrugged Tyler hard
12:34Run!
12:37Only when we reached the nurse's office
12:39Did I let out a breath
12:41Thank you Sebastian
12:43But next time, just ignore him
12:45He won a taekwondo tournament before
12:48We can't beat him
12:53But he was bullying you
12:57Lily, I can't let anyone bully you
13:00The next day, Blake came to school with bruises all over his face
13:05If I find out who beat me, I'll kill him
13:07Forget your face for a second
13:10I heard some billionaire's kid just transferred to our school from overseas
13:13Who do you think it is?
13:15He looked up and met Sebastian's clean, calm eyes
13:18He pointed at a problem on his worksheet
13:21Then he smiled sincerely
13:23Lily, can you explain this one to me?
13:27By late spring, graduation was only a month away
13:30For the graduation showcase, Bella was in charge of costume sizes
13:34She stood at the front of the classroom with a clipboard and asked everyone
13:39When she got to me, she looked down at the form
13:42Lily, should I put you down for XL or XXL?
13:47I looked up for my corrections
13:49For some reason, I felt embarrassed saying it
13:52I wear a small
13:56The classroom went quiet
13:59The classroom went quiet
14:23I get it
14:24Lucas, I like you
14:30What?
14:31Lily Taylor, did you just say you like Lucas?
14:34Your voice carried across the field
14:36For one second, everyone went silent
14:38I'm not going to be in the first time
14:40Damn, Lucas really is something
14:44Even the fatty has a crush on him
14:47Lucas!
14:48Is that why you keep rejecting girls?
14:50You were saving yourself for her?
14:52You serious?
14:56My face burned
14:58My face burned
14:59I could not say another word
15:00Then a loud thud cut through the field
15:03A football shot past my ear and slammed into the ground behind me
15:07The boys who had been laughing shut up
15:10Lucas looked down at me
15:11I just want to know one thing
15:14What made you think you could confess to me?
15:16Did you think my standards were that low?
15:18My whole body went stiff
15:20The heat drained from my face
15:22Don't you think you're kind of gross?
15:24The lights were lying in a day later
15:26I could not take it anymore
15:28I ran into the restroom
15:29And left my sight inside a star
15:34Suddenly
15:35I took the water off the floor
15:37Next time, look in a mirror before you embarrass Lucas
15:42I was like, I left away
15:44I stood there without moving
15:46Cold water dripped from my hair onto the floor
15:51I had been knocked from my body for years
15:53But Lucas was the first boy who ever defended me
15:57For a while
15:58I thought my life would be different
16:01But today, Lucas crushed that dream himself
16:04I finally understood
16:06Girls like me did not get exceptions
16:08The next morning, one of Lucas' friends came over to move his desk
16:12Lucas said he felt sick after yesterday
16:15He's taking a few days off
16:17He asked me to move his seat
16:21After saying that, he seemed to realize how cruel it sounded
16:25He met my numb eyes and quickly added
16:28Not because of you, don't overthink it
16:30I blinked hard
16:32What's the matter, Lily?
16:33Cat got your tongue?
16:34You hate me this much
16:36I only ate a little more than they did
16:38Was that really so disgusting?
16:42Three days later, Lucas came back
16:45He walked into the classroom with his arm around Bella Hart's waist
16:50Bella was captain of the cheer squad and every guy's dream boy
16:54And I was Lily Taylor
16:57A nobody people only remembered when they needed a joke
17:01Chase could not help whistling
17:03Damn, Lucas
17:04Finally got yourself a girlfriend?
17:06So is it real or just for show?
17:09Bella pouted like she was offended
17:12What do you mean?
17:13Do I look like the kind of girl who lets random guys put their hands on my waist?
17:17Lucas lifted his brow lazily
17:19Lucas did not deny it
17:21People started cheering and teasing me
17:24I lowered my head and lifted my workbook
17:27At least no one cared about what happened that day anymore
17:29No one had time to laugh at me
17:31That was already good enough
17:34After that, I buried myself in school work
17:37On the next AP calculus test
17:39I beat Ethan Miller, the top student, for the first time
17:42The moment class ended, Ethan moved his desk beside mine
17:47Ms. Carter said I keep messing up the written explanations
17:50She told me to learn from you
17:52Then he smiled at me
17:54New seatmate, help me out
17:56It took me a few seconds to realize I had a seatmate again
17:59I was a little happy
18:01So I quickly pulled out my notebook
18:04Here, this is what I use
18:06Thanks
18:07When I looked up by accident, I met Lucas's eyes across the room
18:12He had been watching us for a while
18:13A second later, he looked away first
18:17I did not know my confession had disgusted him that much
18:20So much so that he could not even stand to see me doing okay
18:24The next morning, Ethan brought me two sausage rolls
18:27I had just taken them when Lucas walked over with a low laugh
18:32Didn't know you had such specific taste, man
18:36Ethan's face changed
18:38What do you mean?
18:43Lucas dropped a stack of printed pictures on my desk
18:47For you
18:49You like this type, right?
18:52Want me to bring you more tomorrow?
18:57Who the hell said I liked fat girls?
19:01Oh, I saw you move seats, I thought you were into her
19:06Was I wrong?
19:07Lucas's friends laughed with him
19:12Ethan cursed under his breath
19:14Then he moved back to his old seat without another word
19:19From beginning to end
19:20Neither of them looked at me
19:22But every word was about me
19:25My eyes fell on the picture scattered across the desk
19:29The sausage rolls in my hands were cold
19:32Before Lucas walked away
19:33Why would you do this?
19:38What?
19:42Are you that desperate for attention?
19:44Every guy who sits beside you gets the cold treatment
19:47After what Lucas did, everything got worse
19:50One morning, I found my desk covered in graffiti
19:55I kept my head down and walked to my locker
19:57The moment I opened it, a stack of printed pictures slipped out and scattered across the floor
20:02Students slowed down as they passed and started laughing
20:07I crouched down and picked up the pictures one by one
20:10After that, no one wanted to hang out with me anymore
20:14They were afraid they would become the next target
20:17During lunch, I sat alone under a tree and took big bites of my food
20:22Even though I never thought about dieting again
20:25The only time I had tried to lose weight was because I liked Lucas more than food
20:30Now I did not like him anymore
20:32That Friday, we had volleyball class
20:36Halfway through class, it started pouring
20:39Everyone ran toward the gym entrance
20:41They laughed and screamed while covering their heads
20:44I followed behind them
20:46Before I could reach the door, several girls started knocking me back and forth between them
20:50I lost my balance and fell hard onto the wet court
20:54My kneecap slid out of place
20:56The pain was so sharp that I could not sit up
20:59Then a person stopped beside me
21:02I grabbed one pant leg without thinking
21:06I can't stand, can you help me?
21:09It was Lucas
21:12No
21:13Bella laughed beside him
21:15Maybe if you lost weight, you wouldn't fall so hard
21:19I was soaked through
21:21Lucas did not look at me
21:23He walked past me
21:24I can't help you
21:26Rain kept running into my mouth
21:28But my throat still felt dry
21:31I could only try to push myself up
21:34Near the gym entrance, I heard people talking
21:36She doesn't look like she's faking it
21:38This is too much
21:39Should we help her?
21:40You like her?
21:41You go
21:42Who the hell said I liked fat girls?
21:46It took me almost 10 minutes to sit up
21:49I still could not stand
21:51So I sat quietly in the rain
21:53I forced myself to think about what grandma might make for dinner
21:56Otherwise the pain in my knee and the eyes behind me would break me
22:01In the end, I got up by myself
22:04The voices at the gym entrance never stopped
22:08I did not dare look back
22:10I limped to the security office and called grandma
22:14After hearing what happened, grandma decided I needed to get stronger
22:18From that day on, she planned my meals and made me exercise with her
22:22If they try to knock you down again, hit back
22:26I stayed home for two days before going back to school
22:29That morning, grandma only let me eat one whole wheat egg sandwich
22:33I felt miserable
22:34But soon, Ms. Carter walked into the classroom
22:37Behind her stood a strange transfer student
22:39Ms. Carter looked around the room
22:41Her eyes finally stopped at me
22:43Sebastian Cole, sit beside Lily
22:46After that, she hurried back to the office
22:48Sebastian sat in the empty spot beside me
22:51Neither of us seemed interested in talking
22:53But Blake could never keep his voice down
22:56Lucas, look, this guy is weird
22:58His whole face is covered
23:01What, is he disfigured?
23:03Probably
23:04If he looked good, why would he hide his face?
23:09Ghost boy and chubby Lily
23:11New couple alert
23:13Lucas did not react
23:14He only spun his pen lazily and said nothing
23:18For almost a month, Sebastian and I barely spoke
23:21I did not want to talk
23:24I was afraid the same thing that happened with Ethan would happen again
23:27Then one afternoon after class, I noticed Sebastian lying across his desk
23:32After hesitating for a moment, I walked over
23:35Do you have a stomach ache?
23:39Yeah
23:44I'll take you to the nurse's office
23:46Luckily, he did not pull away when I touched him
23:48He was almost six feet, too
23:51Most of his weight leaned against me
23:52Good thing I was sturdy
23:55Otherwise, I would not have been able to hold him up
23:58The nurse gave him medicine
24:00Then she asked me to get him some water
24:02I ran to buy it
24:03Then hurried back
24:05By then, Sebastian was the only one left in the nurse's office
24:08You dislike me that much and still help me?
24:11That's pretty kind of you, Lily
24:12I don't dislike you, I thought you hated me so I didn't talk to you
24:15Why would I hate you?
24:18Because I'm fat
24:20I suddenly felt he was probably not disfigured at all
24:23After that day, Sebastian and I slowly got closer
24:26But he was still strange
24:27He never took off his mask
24:29He barely talked to anyone else, but he always ran with me after school
24:34My body changed, too
24:36Without noticing it, I had gotten stronger
24:39Grandma was pleased
24:40She said I looked healthier now
24:42I never expected Lucas to be the first person at school to notice
24:47That afternoon, I sat on the lawn
24:49Finishing the low-fat turkey bowl Grandma had packed for me
24:53I had just picked up my lunchbox when Lucas suddenly grabbed my wrist
24:57You're dieting again?
24:59That's none of your business
25:00Lucas, let go
25:02Lucas pulled me toward the cafeteria
25:04You get dizzy when you starve yourself
25:06Did you forget? Planning to pass out again?
25:10If you don't let go, I'll bite you
25:12You really don't know who is good to you?
25:16Drop the act
25:17After that, I turned and walked back to the classroom
25:20Sebastian was lying across his desk, alone
25:25Is your stomach hurting again?
25:27Sebastian slowly lifted his head
25:31Yeah
25:32I wanted to buy medicine
25:35But I forgot where the nurse's office was
25:38I saw you downstairs just now, but
25:41You were talking to some guy
25:45So I didn't want to interrupt
25:48Lily, it hurts
25:49I'll go buy it for you right now, wait here
25:53I'll go with you, that way I can remember the route
26:09I hurt too much to walk
26:10Let me rest for a second, okay?
26:12I opened my mouth
26:13But when he made another soft sound of pain, I could not refuse
26:19Lucas's eyes turned cold at once
26:21He had just taken one step toward us when Blake and Bella caught up from behind us
26:26Whoa, Fatty and Ghost Boy, what are you two doing?
26:31What did you call her?
26:32Fatty
26:33Am I wrong?
26:35Sebastian punched him, so he could react
26:38I rushed between them and shook Tyler hard
26:41Run
26:44Only when we reached the nurse's office did I let out a breath
26:48Thank you Sebastian
26:50But next time, just ignore him
26:52He won a taekwondo tournament before
26:55We can't beat him
27:01But he was bullying you
27:05Lily, I can't let anyone bully you
27:07The next day, Blake came to school with bruises all over his face
27:12If I find out who beat me, I'll kill him
27:15Forget your face for a second
27:17I heard some billionaire's kid just transferred to our school from overseas
27:20Who do you think it is?
27:22He looked up and met Sebastian's clean, calm eyes
27:25He pointed at a problem on his worksheet
27:28Then he smiled sincerely
27:30Lily, can you explain this one to me?
27:34By late spring, graduation was only a month away
27:37For the graduation showcase, Bella was in charge of costume sizes
27:41She stood at the front of the classroom with a clipboard and asked everyone
27:47When she got to me, she looked down at the form
27:50Lily, should I put you down for XL or XXL?
27:54I looked up for my corrections
27:56For some reason, I felt embarrassed saying it
28:00I wear a small
28:04The classroom went quiet
28:07The more fatal Manson
28:09And I'm not the best part of the room
28:12Who's in charge of their hp!
28:13Even now, I'm on the back of the room
28:13And I Wait for them!
28:13Who's out there?
28:13And I was like, I found your goose at another time
28:14A little bit later
28:14What's wrong with that?
28:14What's wrong with that?
28:14What's wrong with that?
