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

00:14:26Lucas, I like you.
00:14:31What?
00:14:32Lily Taylor, did you just say you like Lucas?
00:14:35A voice carried across the field.
00:14:37For one second, everyone went silent.
00:14:39And everyone burst into a room.
00:14:42Damn, Lucas really is something.
00:14:44Even the fatty has a crush on him.
00:14:46Lucas, is that why you keep rejecting girls?
00:14:49You were saving yourself for her?

00:15:15My whole body went stiff.
00:15:17The heat drained from the face.
00:15:18Don't you think you're kind of gross?
00:15:20For all for all I need to be lighter.
00:15:22I could not take it anymore.
00:15:24I ran into the restroom and knocked myself inside a stall.
00:15:30Suddenly, black cold water was still going on.
00:15:34Next time, look in a mirror before you embarrass Lucas.
00:15:37I was like, I knocked away.
00:15:39I stood there without moving.
00:15:41Cold water dripped from my hair onto me.
00:15:44I had been mocked for my body for years.
00:15:47But Lucas was the first boy who ever defended me.

00:16:10He's taking a few days off.
00:16:11He asked me to move his seat.
00:16:15After saying that, he seemed to realize how cruel it sounded.
00:16:19He met my numb eyes and quickly added,

00:18:14I had just taken them when Lucas walked over with a low laugh.
00:18:18Didn't know you had such specific taste, man.
00:18:21Ethan's face changed.
00:18:23What do you mean?
00:18:28Lucas dropped a stack of printed pictures on my desk.
00:18:32For you.
00:18:33You like this type, right?
00:18:36Want me to bring you more tomorrow?
00:18:40Who the hell said I liked fat girls?
00:18:44Oh.
00:18:45I saw you move seats.
00:18:46I thought you were into her.
00:18:49Was I wrong?
00:18:50Lucas' friends laughed with him.
00:18:55Ethan cursed under his breath.
00:18:57Then he moved back to his old seat without another word.
00:19:00From beginning to end, neither of them looked at me.
00:19:04But every word was about me.
00:19:06My eyes fell on the pictures scattered across the desk.
00:19:09The sausage rolls in my hands went cold.
00:19:12Before Lucas walked away...
00:19:14Why would you do this?
00:19:18What?
00:19:21Are you that desperate for attention?
00:19:24Every guy who sits beside you gets the full treatment.
00:19:29After what Lucas did, everything got worse.
00:19:32One morning, I found my desk covered in graffiti.
00:19:36I kept my head down and walked to my locker.
00:19:39The moment I opened it, a stack of printed pictures slipped out and scattered across the floor.
00:19:44Students slowed down as they passed and started laughing.
00:19:47I crouched down and picked up the pictures one by one.
00:19:51After that, no one wanted to hang out with me anymore.
00:19:54They were afraid they would become the next target.
00:19:57During lunch, I sat alone under a tree and took big bites of my food.
00:20:01Even though, I never thought about dieting again.
00:20:04The only time I had tried to lose weight was because I liked Lucas more than food.
00:20:09Now, I did not like him anymore.
00:20:11That Friday, we had volleyball class.
00:20:14Halfway through class, it started pouring.
00:20:17Everyone ran toward the gym entrance.
00:20:19They laughed and screamed while covering their heads.
00:20:21I followed behind them.
00:20:23Before I could reach the door, several girls started knocking me back and forth between them.
00:20:27I lost my balance and fell hard onto the wet court.
00:20:30My kneecap slid out of place.
00:20:33The pain was so sharp that I could not sit up.
00:20:36Then a person stopped beside me.
00:20:38I grabbed one pant leg without thinking.
00:20:41I can't stand... can you help me?
00:20:44It was Lucas.
00:20:45Lucas.
00:20:47No.
00:20:48The fella laughed beside him.
00:20:50Maybe if you lost weight, you wouldn't fall so hard.
00:20:53I was soaked through.
00:20:55Lucas did not look at me.
00:20:57He walked past me.
00:20:58I can't help you.
00:21:00Rain kept running into my mouth, but my throat still felt dry.
00:21:04I could only try to push myself up.
00:21:07Near the gym entrance, I heard people talking.
00:21:09She doesn't look like she's faking it.
00:21:10This is too much.
00:21:11Should we help her?
00:21:12You like her?
00:21:13You go.
00:21:14Who the hell said I liked fat girls?
00:21:17It took me almost ten minutes to sit up.
00:21:20I still could not stand.
00:21:22So I sat quietly in the rain.
00:21:24I forced myself to think about what grandma might make for dinner.
00:21:28Otherwise, the pain in my knee and the eyes behind me would break me.
00:21:31In the end, I got up by myself.
00:21:34The voices at the gym entrance never stopped.
00:21:37I did not dare look back.
00:21:40I limped to the security office and called grandma.
00:21:43After hearing what happened, grandma decided I needed to get stronger.
00:21:47From that day on, she planned my meals and made me exercise with her.
00:21:51If they try to knock you down again, hit back.
00:21:58I stayed home for two days before going back to school.
00:22:01That morning, grandma only let me eat one whole wheat egg sandwich.
00:22:04I felt miserable.
00:22:05But soon, Ms. Carter walked into the classroom.
00:22:08Behind her stood a strange transfer student.
00:22:11Ms. Carter looked around the room.
00:22:12Her eyes finally stopped at me.
00:22:14Sebastian Cole, sit beside Lily.
00:22:16After that, she hurried back to the office.
00:22:18Sebastian sat in the empty spot beside me.
00:22:21Neither of us seemed interested in talking.
00:22:23But Blake could never keep his voice down.
00:22:25Lucas, look.
00:22:26This guy is weird.
00:22:28His whole face is covered.
00:22:29What, is he disfigured?
00:22:32Probably.
00:22:33If he looked good, why would he hide his face?
00:22:37Ghost boy and chubby Lily.
00:22:39New couple alert.
00:22:41Lucas did not react.
00:22:42He only spun his pen lazily and said nothing.
00:22:45For almost a month, Sebastian and I barely spoke.
00:22:49I did not want to talk.
00:22:50I was afraid the same thing that happened with Ethan would happen again.
00:22:54Then one afternoon after class, I noticed Sebastian lying across his desk.
00:22:58After hesitating for a moment, I walked over.
00:23:01Do you have a stomach ache?
00:23:05Yeah.
00:23:09I'll take you to the nurse's office.
00:23:11Luckily, he did not pull away when I touched him.
00:23:13He was almost six feet two.
00:23:15Most of his weight leaned against me.
00:23:17Good thing I was sturdy.
00:23:18Otherwise, I would not have been able to hold him up.
00:23:21The nurse gave him medicine.
00:23:24Then she asked me to get him some water.
00:23:26I ran to buy it, then hurried back.
00:23:28By then, Sebastian was the only one left in the nurse's office.
00:23:31You dislike me that much and still help me?
00:23:33That's pretty kind of you, Lily.
00:23:35I don't dislike you.
00:23:36I thought you hated me, so I didn't talk to you.
00:23:37Why would I hate you?
00:23:40Because I'm fat.
00:23:41I suddenly felt he was probably not disfigured at all.
00:23:47After that day, Sebastian and I slowly got closer, but he was still strange.
00:23:51He never took off his mask.
00:23:53He barely talked to anyone else, but he always ran with me after school.
00:23:57My body changed, too.
00:23:59Without noticing it, I had gotten stronger.
00:24:02Grandma was pleased.
00:24:03She said I looked healthier now.
00:24:04I never expected Lucas to be the first person at school to notice.
00:24:09That afternoon, I sat on the lawn, finishing the low-fat turkey bowl Grandma had packed for me.
00:24:14I had just picked up my lunchbox when Lucas suddenly grabbed my wrist.
00:24:18You're dieting again?
00:24:20That's none of your business.
00:24:21Lucas, let go.
00:24:22Lucas pulled me toward the cafeteria.
00:24:25You get dizzy when you starve yourself.
00:24:27Did you forget?
00:24:27Planning to pass out again?
00:24:30If you don't let go, I'll bite you.
00:24:32You really don't know who is good to you?
00:24:35Drop the act.
00:24:36After that, I turned and walked back to the classroom.
00:24:40Sebastian was lying across his desk, alone.
00:24:43Is your stomach hurting again?
00:24:46Sebastian slowly lifted his head.
00:24:49Yeah.
00:24:50I wanted to buy medicine.
00:24:52But I forgot where the nurse's office was.
00:24:55I saw you downstairs just now, but you were talking to some guy.
00:25:01So I didn't want to interrupt.
00:25:05Lily, it hurts.
00:25:06I'll go buy it for you right now.
00:25:07Wait here.
00:25:09I'll go with you.
00:25:10That way I can remember the route.
00:25:17I held his arm and hugged him for the nurse's office.
00:25:20When we went downstairs, we ran into Lucas.
00:25:25Sebastian suddenly rest his balance.
00:25:27I hurt too much to walk.
00:25:29Let me rest for a second, okay?
00:25:30I opened my mouth.
00:25:31But when he made another soft sound of pain, I could not refuse.
00:25:36Lucas's eyes turned cold at once.
00:25:38He had just taken one step toward us when Blake and Bella caught up from behind.
00:25:43Whoa!
00:25:44Fatty and Ghost Boy.
00:25:45What are you two doing?
00:25:47What did you call her?
00:25:48Fatty.
00:25:50Am I wrong?
00:25:51Sebastian punched him before he could react.
00:25:54I rushed between them and shut Tyler hard.
00:25:57Run!
00:25:59Only when we reached the nurse's office did I let out a breath.
00:26:02Thank you, Sebastian.
00:26:04But next time, just ignore him.
00:26:07He won a taekwondo tournament before.
00:26:09We can't beat him.
00:26:14But he was bullying you.
00:26:18Lily, I can't let anyone bully you.
00:26:25After what Lucas did, everything got worse.
00:26:29One morning, I found my desk covered in graffiti.
00:26:32I kept my head down and walked to my locker.

00:33:11But he was bullying you.
00:33:14Lily, I can't let anyone bully you.
00:33:22Got my permit on the side right there.
00:33:24No, it's okay now for sure.
00:33:26What the hell are you saying?
00:33:26Pick it up.
00:33:29You idiots got some fucking balls messing with people on this block.
00:33:33Shut your fucking mouth before I shut it for you.
00:33:35Jesus, don't eat them off the street.
00:33:37Who are you?
00:33:37What are you doing in here?
00:33:38Okay, this is my room.
00:33:40This isn't your room.
00:33:42Trespass.
00:33:43You're a psycho.
00:33:45Okay, this is a soul.
00:33:46You're all going to get arrested.
00:33:47Hi.
00:33:48Here you go.
00:33:49Have a great day.
00:33:50Hi.
00:33:51Hi, what do you want?
00:34:00Is this shit even clean?
00:34:02Got my permit on the side right there.
00:34:11It's okay now for sure.
00:34:16Pick it up.
00:34:19What the hell you say?
00:34:28Pick it up.
00:34:31Pick it up.
00:34:32Get up.
00:34:33It's okay now for sure.
00:34:39Tasty, huh?
00:34:41My dogs are always clean.
00:34:43Get this bitch!
00:34:56Still want to play tough?
00:34:59You hit me again, and I got you like a fish.
00:35:05This symbol kind of looks familiar.
00:35:08It looks expensive.
00:35:10Tell you what, I'm going to keep it for my Boaz medical bills.
00:35:14And you put your hands on me, bitch.
00:35:16Now you're going to die.
00:35:17Let me go.
00:35:19Give that ring back to me, and then I'll let you walk free.
00:35:23I'm shaking.
00:35:24Who's going to save you now?
00:35:27And her.
00:35:32Oh, on the knees.
00:35:40Three, two, one.
00:35:52Hey!
00:35:53Get your fucking hands off her!
00:35:54Get your fucking hands off her!
00:36:03Oh!
00:36:05That's Luke from Titan.
00:36:06Where it is, the mob even plays nice with him.
00:36:08You idiots got some fucking balls messing with people on this block.
00:36:12You have any idea who this is?
00:36:13Just a crazy old bitch slinging hot dogs to me.
00:36:17Shut your fucking mouth before I shut it for you.
00:36:20All of you, on your knees.
00:36:22Now!
00:36:22Oh, yeah?
00:36:29I apologize, Miss.
00:36:31I was late.
00:36:35Get her a chair.
00:36:41All you guys should be in school, not out here on the streets.
00:36:44How do you want me to handle this, Miss?
00:36:46Should I haul them off and give them a proper education?
00:36:51Let's stop.
00:36:53So you all said that my hot dogs weren't clean.
00:36:56Oh, no, no.
00:36:57They're clean.
00:36:57They're clean.
00:36:58They're delicious.
00:36:59We like them, right?
00:37:05Jesus, don't eat them off the street.
00:37:07They're very delicious.
00:37:09You know, I'm a mother.
00:37:10A few years back, I would have buried you all alive.
00:37:13But this time, I'm going to give you another chance.
00:37:16Pay for the damages, and then get out of here.
00:37:25Wise up, guys, before you find yourself at the bottom of the East River.
00:37:30That was very generous, Miss.
00:37:32Why are you still doing this?
00:37:34Why are you still selling hot dogs?
00:37:36You know, kids are young and reckless.
00:37:39Sometimes they make bad choices.
00:37:40I'm afraid if Lily knows that I'm rich, she's going to turn on into some spoiled, rotten kid.
00:37:46You're doing all this for your daughter.
00:37:49And I'll have a team come and clean this up right away.
00:37:52All right, let's go, everybody.
00:38:00Hello?
00:38:01Lily?
00:38:01Mom, please.
00:38:02Please help me.
00:38:03I don't want to die.
00:38:17Ew.
00:38:18Oh, my God.
00:38:19I don't get it.
00:38:20This room is smaller than my walk-in closet.
00:38:23Why did Daddy send me here?
00:38:25No.
00:38:30All right.
00:38:31Move it, you little crap.
00:38:33What?
00:38:33Hello?
00:38:35Move.
00:38:36Can you hear me?
00:38:39Move.
00:38:40Get out.
00:38:40Who are you?
00:38:41What are you doing in here?
00:38:42Okay, this is my room.
00:38:43This isn't your room.
00:38:45It's my room now.
00:38:48It's my daughter, Chloe.
00:38:50Well, I would like Chloe to go to Lily's school.
00:38:54Lily seems to have a good head on her shoulders.
00:38:57Maybe a little of that could rub off on Chloe, huh?
00:38:59She could be kind of like a role model.
00:39:01Two girls watching each other's backs?
00:39:03Yeah, that's a good idea.
00:39:04Watch it.
00:39:05You're trespassing.
00:39:06Aw.
00:39:12Trespassing.
00:39:14Right.
00:39:16No, wait.
00:39:17Hold on.
00:39:17No, please.
00:39:17Don't.
00:39:18No, please.
00:39:19That was my thesis project.
00:39:22I'm just helping you pack.
00:39:25Come on.
00:39:26Ow.
00:39:28Please.
00:39:29Just stop.
00:39:29Okay.
00:39:30Please.
00:39:30Or I'm calling campus security.
00:39:32Oh, brilliant.
00:39:34That is wonderful.
00:39:36Then they can help get you out of here.
00:39:39Dumb little crib.
00:39:41Come on.
00:39:43Stupid little crib.
00:39:47Baby.
00:39:51Reed.
00:39:51What happened?
00:39:52Oh, Reed, thank God.
00:39:53I thought you were at work.
00:39:54And anyway, these girls, they came in here.
00:39:57They started throwing my stuff around and breaking things.
00:39:59I asked them to leave and apologize, but they refused.
00:40:02I'm just happy that you're here.
00:40:03What the hell?
00:40:09Reed, what the hell?
00:40:13Reed, why?
00:40:15Isn't it obvious?
00:40:17Your girlfriend.
00:40:18I upgraded.
00:40:19I don't understand.
00:40:21Reed, we've been together since high school.
00:40:23I did all your assignments.
00:40:24I practically got you into this school.
00:40:26I worked two jobs to get you those custom limited edition sneakers that you love, remember?
00:40:31That's for me?
00:40:32Mm-hmm.
00:40:33Oh, my God.
00:40:34No way.
00:40:35I love them.
00:40:36You're a legend.
00:40:38I'm going to marry you.
00:40:41And I nearly got disabled for life because of it.
00:40:44And I did everything.
00:40:46You said you'd marry me.
00:40:48Marrying you?
00:40:50Chloe's father is number two of the Titan group.
00:40:53I graduate.
00:40:54I date her.
00:40:55Boom.
00:40:56New joke.
00:40:57New joke, new girlfriend.
00:40:58Get it?
00:40:59So, you're dumping me for a cushy future?
00:41:03Oh, you think a limping little cripple's going to date the quarterback?
00:41:09Well, since you're Reed's ex, I should probably give you a parting gift.
00:41:14Girls.
00:41:19All right.
00:41:21I heard your mother works at a hot dog stand.
00:41:27I bet you're familiar with wieners.
00:41:30Well, did you ever use this on my boy Reed here?
00:41:37So, beautiful.
00:41:39Swear to God, you're going to pay for this.
00:41:42Pay for this?
00:41:43What is a broke little dumb cripple going to do?
00:41:47I'm quaking in my Louis Vuitton.

00:58:57the night before my coming of age ceremony
00:58:59my father laid three potential alpha candidates in front of me
00:59:05i glanced at their photos and shook my head
00:59:07what?
00:59:08dad frowned
00:59:09none of them?
00:59:10what about lucas?
00:59:11he's the strongest of the three
00:59:13and didn't you used to have feelings for him?
00:59:16i did
00:59:16but all i got back was ice
00:59:18i used to think he was just cold with everyone
00:59:20then one day i saw him with my own eyes
00:59:23lips locked with lila
00:59:25the housekeeper's daughter
00:59:26like the world wasn't watching
00:59:28once i take over as alpha of the ironclaw pack
00:59:31i'm giving you the wedding of your dreams
00:59:34what about scarlet?
00:59:39the old alpha adopted you both so you'd be her mate someday
00:59:42lucas pulled her back in kissing her deep
00:59:45scarlet?
00:59:46the only reason i ever gave her a second glance is because she's the old alpha's daughter
00:59:51she doesn't hold a candor to you
00:59:53i pressed my hand over my mouth
00:59:55listening to them
00:59:56their voices
00:59:57their breathing
00:59:58something inside me just
00:59:59shattered
01:00:00but i didn't tell my father any of that
01:00:02i met his eyes
01:00:03steady and sure
01:00:04i'm not choosing any of them
01:00:05i heard kieran from the north has been open to an alliance through marriage
01:00:10for the good of our pack
01:00:12i'll marry him
01:00:13dad's brow creased
01:00:17kieran is undeniably the most powerful alpha out there
01:00:20but word is he is ruthless
01:00:21cold-blooded
01:00:22never lets anyone in
01:00:28in
01:00:29and apparently his wolf was badly wounded in battle
01:00:32hasn't been able to find a mate in years
01:00:34he studied me
01:00:36you sure about this?
01:00:40i'd rather trust what i see than what people say
01:00:43kieran's pack is strong and steven
01:00:44he's a good alpha
01:00:46and i'll be a good luna
01:00:47dad gave a slow nod
01:00:49if those three couldn't win your heart
01:00:50then they've got no business being candidates for future pack leader anyway
01:00:54i knew if i'd told him the truth
01:00:56that lucas didn't love me
01:00:57that i refused to beg
01:00:58dad would have dragged lucas to his knees and ripped into him
01:01:01what gives an adopted son the right to reject my daughter
01:01:04i didn't want that
01:01:05i didn't want dad guilt-tripping lucas over years of debt
01:01:08i didn't want to force him into a marriage he resents
01:01:10i didn't want us to spend our lives trapped and miserable
01:01:13and honestly
01:01:14after the things lucas said
01:01:16there was nothing left to save
01:01:18maybe walking away was the only thing that made sense
01:01:20i'd barely stepped out of dad's office
01:01:22when i ran straight into all three of them
01:01:25the second they saw me
01:01:26they closed in
01:01:27blocking my path
01:01:28backing me into a corner like it was nothing
01:01:30lucas looked me over with that lazy entitled smirk
01:01:34what lies did you go running to tell him this time
01:01:36damon crossed his arms
01:01:37why have you been dodging us
01:01:39you playing games
01:01:41or have you already made up your mind about who you want
01:01:44don't tell me you're expecting all three of us to chase you
01:01:46you really think you can handle three alphas at once
01:01:49they took my silence as an answer and burst out back
01:01:53tell you what
01:01:55if that's what you want
01:01:56maybe we should just mark you right now
01:01:58teach you a lesson
01:01:59yeah
01:02:00damon grinned
01:02:01all three of us
01:02:02before i could make a sound they grabbed me
01:02:04hands pinning me down
01:02:05one covering my mouth
01:02:06lunged for my neck
01:02:14split second before they could bite down
01:02:16they drove my knee
01:02:17hard straight into the worst possible place
01:02:19teach me a lesson
01:02:21right back at you
01:02:22whoa you're actually mad
01:02:23we were just messing around
01:02:25sure i straightened up
01:02:26and if any of you are already in love with someone else
01:02:28go tell my father
01:02:29he's the one pushing this arrangement
01:02:31but he's not going to force anyone
01:02:32you know that
01:02:33all they had to do was be honest
01:02:34dad would find another way
01:02:36so why wouldn't any of them just say something
01:02:38lucas grabbed my wrist
01:02:39oh so now you're scared
01:02:41what happened to wanting all three of us
01:02:43you were practically throwing yourself at me before
01:02:45don't tell me you're backing out now
01:02:47if you've already decided just say it
01:02:48everyone already knows
01:02:51that's what you were talking to your dad about wasn't it
01:02:53relax
01:02:54you'll find out when everyone else does
01:02:55i turned to leave
01:02:56lucas caught my arm again
01:02:58i'll be your alpha
01:02:59but you don't get to own me
01:03:00after we're married you stay out of my personal life
01:03:03those are my terms
01:03:04otherwise the wedding's off
01:03:05i stared at him
01:03:07that smug
01:03:07self-satisfied look on his face
01:03:09and almost laughed
01:03:10and what i'm the one who doesn't want to marry you
01:03:15but just as i opened my mouth
01:03:17lila appeared out of nowhere
01:03:18lucas oh
01:03:19hi scarlet
01:03:21the second she spotted me
01:03:22she flinched like she'd seen a ghost
01:03:23and ducked behind lucas
01:03:24lucas stepped in front of her without thinking
01:03:26she didn't do anything
01:03:27just leave her alone today okay
01:03:29i stared at them
01:03:30genuinely confused
01:03:31and then i realized
01:03:32all three of them had formed a wall around lila
01:03:34like they were shielding her from me
01:03:36just like five years ago
01:03:37it was always her side they chose
01:03:39five years ago
01:03:40on lila's birthday
01:03:41i'd picked out a jeweled bracelet
01:03:43to give her as a welcome gift
01:03:47oh wow it's gorgeous
01:03:48she smiled and handed me a velvet box
01:03:51this is for you too
01:03:52but the second i opened it
01:03:54lucas snatched it out of my hands
01:03:58that belonged to lila's mother
01:04:00you'd really take a dead woman's keepsake
01:04:03i looked at lila
01:04:05waiting for her to tell them
01:04:06that she'd offered it herself
01:04:07no it wasn't scarlet's fault
01:04:09i gave it to her
01:04:10she was so kind to me
01:04:12she even brought me a bracelet
01:04:15i'm really okay
01:04:16i'm not upset
01:04:18the more she groveled
01:04:19the more furious the three of them got
01:04:21being the alpha's daughter
01:04:22doesn't give you the right
01:04:23to guilt someone
01:04:24into handing over
01:04:25their dead mother's things
01:04:27that hairpin may not be worth much
01:04:29but it means everything
01:04:30give it back to her
01:04:31now
01:04:34same old scarlet
01:04:35always taking what she wants
01:04:36never caring who gets hurt
01:04:37maybe it was all a misunderstanding
01:04:40i swallowed my anger
01:04:41and held the hairpin out to lila
01:04:43when she reached for it
01:04:44her grip slipped
01:04:48the crystal hairpin hit the floor
01:04:50and shattered
01:04:50lila's lip trembled
01:04:51then she bit down on it
01:04:53and screamed at me
01:04:53if you'd rather destroy it
01:04:55than give it back
01:04:56then why even bother pretending
01:04:57lucas turned to ice
01:04:58apologize to her
01:04:59right now
01:05:00he pointed at me
01:05:01jaw tight
01:05:02by that point

01:05:04how i felt
01:05:04i told him i'd only ever want him
01:05:06he used that against me
01:05:07held it over my head
01:05:08to make me bow down to lila
01:05:10i was too young
01:05:11too scared of losing him

01:05:14head down
01:05:15and i kept apologizing

01:05:17after that day
01:05:18every time lila saw me
01:05:20she acted like i was
01:05:20something to be afraid of
01:05:21bursting into tears
01:05:23crying out
01:05:23flinching away
01:05:24and i hadn't done
01:05:25a single thing to her
