My Secret Boyfriend Has A Public Girlfriend EP
Transcript
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.
00:00:04So after our football team won the next game, I walked onto the field.
00:00:08Lucas, I like you.
00:00:09Lucas!
00:00:10My voice carried across the field.
00:00:12For 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.
00:00:26Behind her stood a strange transfer student.
00:00:28Sebastian Cole, sip aside 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?
00:01:21My voice carried across the field.
00:01:22For one second, everyone went silent.
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.
00:01:43I 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.
00:01:55I just want to know one thing.
00:01:57What 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 in the water.
00:02:08I could not take it anymore.
00:02:10I ran into the restroom and locked myself inside a stall.
00:02:15Suddenly, black cold water was still going on.
00:02:20Next time, look in a mirror before you embarrass Lucas.
00:02:23I was like, I'm left 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.
00:03:08Don't overthink it.
00:03:09I blinked hard.
00:03:10I could not understand why being bigger than other girls
00:03:12made people 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,
00:03:34a 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?
00:03:44Bella 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 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.
00:05:31I saw you move seats.
00:05:32I thought you were into her.
00:05:35Was I wrong?
00:05:36Lucas' friends laughed with him.
00:05:40Ethan 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.
00:05:52My 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 fat girls?
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 would happen again.
00:09:40Then one afternoon after class, I 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.
00:10:01Most of his weight leaned against me.
00:10:03Good 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.
00:10:17You 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.
00:10:38He 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.
00:10:49She 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,
00:10:57finishing 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.
00:11:11You 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.
00:11:38But I forgot where the nurse's office was.
00:11:41I saw you downstairs just now, but you were talking to some guy.
00:11:47So I didn't want to interrupt.
00:11:50Lily, it hurts.
00:11:51I'll go buy it for you right now.
00:11:53Wait here.
00:11:55I'll go with you.
00:11:56That way I can remember the route.
00:12:03I held his arm and hugged him toward the nurse's office.
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?
00:12:16I 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 before he could react.
00:12:39I rushed between them and shut Tyler hard.
00:12:42Run!
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.
00:13:17That 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!
00:13:24A voice carried across the field.

00:13:27I just want to know one thing.

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.
00:13:44After hearing what happened, Grandma decided I needed to get stronger.
00:13:47If they try to knock you down again, hit back.
00:13:54During the months I had a crush on Lucas Reed, the football captain.

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.
00:14:42Damn, Lucas really is something.

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 locked myself inside a stall.
00:15:30Suddenly, cold water was still going on.
00:15:34Next time, look in a mirror before you embarrass Lucas.

00:16:03The next morning, one of Lucas' friends came over to move his desk.
00:16:07Lucas said he felt sick after yesterday.
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,
00:16:21Not because of you.
00:16:22Don't overthink it.
00:16:24What's the matter, Lily?
00:16:27Cat got your tongue?
00:16:28I only ate a little more than they did.
00:16:31Was that really so disgusting?
00:16:34Three days later, Lucas came back.
00:16:37He walked into the classroom with his arm around Bella Hart's waist.

00:18:12Ethan brought me two sausage rolls.
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.
00:18:47I 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.
00:19:01From beginning to end,
00:19:02neither 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,
00:19:40a 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,
00:19:52no one wanted to hang out with me anymore.
00:19:54They were afraid they would become the next target.
00:19:57During lunch,
00:19:58I sat alone under a tree and took big bites of my food.
00:20:01Even though,
00:20:02I never thought about dieting again.
00:20:04The only time I had tried to lose weight
00:20:06was because I liked Lucas more than food.
00:20:09Now, I did not like him anymore.
00:20:11That Friday,
00:20:12we had volleyball class.
00:20:14Halfway through class,
00:20:15it 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,
00:20:24several 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...
00:20:42Can you help me?
00:20:44It was Lucas.
00:20:47No.
00:20:48Bella laughed beside him.
00:20:50Maybe if you lost weight,
00:20:51you 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,
00:21:02but my throat still felt dry.
00:21:04I could only try to push myself up.
00:21:07Near the gym entrance,
00:21:08I 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.
00:22:15After 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.
00:22:30What, 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.
00:22:44For 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.
00:23:25I 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.
00:23:38Why would I hate you?
00:23:40Because I'm fat.
00:23:42I 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.
00:24:05I never expected Lucas to be the first person at school to notice.
00:24:09That afternoon, I sat on the lawn,
00:24:11finishing 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.
00:24:23Lucas pulled me toward the cafeteria.
00:24:25You get dizzy when you starve yourself.
00:24:27Did you forget?
00:24:28Planning 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.
00:25:04Lily, 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 lost 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' 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, what are you two doing?
00:25:47What did you call her?
00:25:48Fatty.
00:25:50Am I wrong?
00:25:50Sebastian punched him before he could react.
00:25:54We 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.
00:26:03Thank you, Sebastian.
00:26:05But 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.

00:33:14Lily, I can't let anyone bully you.
00:33:22I got my permit on the side right there.
00:33:24No, no, no, sure.
00:33:26What the hell you say?
00:33:27Pick.
00:33:28It.
00:33:29Up.
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?
00:33:38What are you doing in here?
00:33:39Okay, this is my room.
00:33:40This isn't your room.
00:33:42Trespassing.
00:33:43You're a psycho.
00:33:45Okay, this is assault.
00:33:46You're all gonna 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?
00:33:56Got it?
00:33:57Got a hot dog?
00:34:00Is this shit even clean?
00:34:02Got my permit on the side right there.
00:34:11Not fucking now for sure.
00:34:16Pick it up.
00:34:27Pick it up.
00:34:31Pick it up.
00:34:39Tasty, huh?
00:34:40My dogs are always clean.
00:34:43Get this bitch!
00:34:55Still wanna play tough?
00:34:58You hit me again, and I got you like a fish.
00:35:05This symbol kinda looks familiar.
00:35:08It looks expensive.
00:35:10Tell you what, I'm gonna keep it for my boy's medical bills.
00:35:14And you put your hands on me, bitch.
00:35:16Now you're gonna die.
00:35:17Let me go.
00:35:18Give that ring back to me, and then I'll let you walk free.
00:35:23I'm shaking.
00:35:24Who's gonna save you now?
00:35:26And her.
00:35:32Oh, on the knees.
00:35:37Oh!
00:35:40Three.
00:35:41Two.
00:35:42One.
00:35:52Hey! Get your fucking hands off her!
00:35:54Come on.
00:36:00Madam!
00:36:03Madam!
00:36:05That's Luke from Titan.
00:36:07Word is, the mob even plays nice with him.
00:36:09You 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.
00:36:18Shut 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!
00:37:05Don't eat them off the street.
00:37:07They are 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 gonna 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 gonna 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.
00:37:51Alright, let's go, everybody.
00:38:00Hello? Lily?
00:38:01Mom, please!
00:38:02Please help me!
00:38:03I don't wanna 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!
00:38:30Alright!
00:38:31Move it, you little crap.
00:38:33What?
00:38:33Hello?
00:38:35Move!
00:38:36Can you hear me?
00:38:38Ugh!
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.
00:39:14Right.
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.
00:39:21Aww.
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.
00:39:33Brilliant.
00:39:34And that is wonderful.
00:39:36Then they can help get you out of here.
00:39:39Dumb little crib.
00:39:41Come on.
00:39:44Stupid little crib.
00:39:48Baby.
00:39:51Reed.
00:39:52Huh?
00:39:52Oh, thank God.
00:39:53I thought you were at work.
00:39:54Anyway, these girls, they came in here and they started throwing my stuff around and breaking
00:39:59things.
00:39:59I asked them to leave and apologize, but they refuse.
00:40:02I'm just happy that you're here.
00:40:03God.
00:40:03What the hell?
00:40:09Reed, what the hell?
00:40:13Reed, why?
00:40:15Isn't it obvious?
00:40:16Your 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.
00:40:25I 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.
00:40:36Really, you're a legend.
00:40:38I'm gonna marry you.
00:40:39I'm gonna 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.
00:40:48Marry you?

00:58:23my coming of age ceremony
00:58:24my father laid
00:58:25three potential
00:58:26alpha candidates
00:58:27in front of me
00:58:27I'm not choosing
00:58:28any of them
00:58:29I did
00:58:29but all I got back
00:58:31was ice
00:58:31then one day
00:58:32I saw him with my own eyes
00:58:34lips locked with Lila
00:58:35you've already decided
00:58:36to give away something
00:58:37that was meant for me
00:58:38I heard Kieran from the north
00:58:39has been open to an alliance
00:58:41through marriage
00:58:41I'll marry him
00:58:42the second they saw me
00:58:44they closed in
00:58:45blocking my path
00:58:46backing me into a corner
00:58:47like it was nothing
00:58:48maybe we should just
00:58:49mark you right now
00:58:50teach you a lesson
00:58:51before I could make a sound
00:58:52they grabbed me
00:58:52hands pinning me down
00:58:54one covering my mouth
00:58:55and lunged for my neck
00:58:57the night before
00:58:58my coming of age ceremony
00:58:59my father laid
00:59:00three potential alpha
00:59:01candidates in front of me
00:59:05I glanced at their photos
00:59:07and shook my head
00:59:07what?
00:59:08dad frowned
00:59:09none of them?
00:59:11what about Lucas?
00:59:12he's the strongest
00:59:12of the three
00:59:13and didn't you used to
00:59:15have feelings for him?
00:59:15I did
00:59:16but all I got back
00:59:17was ice
00:59:18I used to think
00:59:19he was just cold
00:59:20with everyone
00:59:20then one day
00:59:22I saw him with my own eyes
00:59:23lips locked with Lila
00:59:25the housekeeper's daughter
00:59:26like the world
00:59:27wasn't watching
00:59:29once I take over
00:59:30as alpha of the ironclaw pack
00:59:31I'm giving you
00:59:32the wedding of your dreams
00:59:34what about Scarlet?
00:59:39the old alpha
00:59:40adopted you both
00:59:41so you'd be her mate
00:59:42someday
00:59:42Lucas pulled her back in
00:59:44kissing her deep
00:59:45Scarlet
00:59:46the only reason
00:59:47I ever gave her
00:59:47a second glance
00:59:48is because she's
00:59:49the old alpha's daughter
00:59:51she doesn't hold
00:59:52a candor to you
00:59:53I pressed my hand
00:59:54over my mouth
00:59:55listening to them
00:59:56their voices
00:59:57their breathing
00:59:58something inside me
00:59:59just shattered
01:00:00but I didn't tell
01:00:01my father any of that
01:00:02I met his eyes
01:00:03steady and sure
01:00:04I'm not choosing
01:00:05any of them
01:00:06I heard Kieran
01:00:07from the north
01:00:08has been open
01:00:08to an alliance
01:00:09through marriage
01:00:11for the good of our pack
01:00:12I'll marry him
01:00:13dad's brow creased
01:00:17Kieran is undeniably
01:00:18the most powerful alpha
01:00:20out there
01:00:20but word is
01:00:21he is ruthless
01:00:21cold-blooded
01:00:23never lets anyone in
01:00:28in
01:00:29and apparently
01:00:29his wolf
01:00:30was badly wounded
01:00:31in battle
01:00:32hasn't been able
01:00:33to find a mate
01:00:33in years
01:00:34he studied me
01:00:36you sure about this?
01:00:40I'd rather trust
01:00:41what I see
01:00:41than what people say
01:00:43Kieran's pack
01:00:43is strong and steamy
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
01:00:49couldn't win your heart
01:00:50then they've got
01:00:51no business
01:00:51being candidates
01:00:52for future pack leader
01:00:53anyway
01:00:54I knew if I'd told him
01:00:55the truth
01:00:56that Lucas didn't love me
01:00:57that I refused to beg
01:00:58dad would have
01:00:59dragged Lucas to his knees
01:01:00and ripped into him
01:01:01what gives an adopted son
01:01:03the right to reject my daughter?
01:01:04I didn't want that
01:01:05I didn't want dad
01:01:06guilt-tripping Lucas
01:01:07over years of debt
01:01:08I didn't want to force him
01:01:09into a marriage he resents
01:01:10I didn't want us
01:01:11to spend our lives
01:01:12trapped 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
01:01:19was the only thing
01:01:20that made sense
01:01:20I'd barely stepped out
01:01:21of dad's office
01:01:22when I ran straight
01:01:23into all three of them
01:01:25the second they saw me
01:01:27they closed in
01:01:27blocking my path
01:01:28backing me into a corner
01:01:30like it was nothing
01:01:31Lucas looked me over
01:01:32with that lazy
01:01:32entitled smirk
01:01:34what lies did you go running
01:01:35to 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
01:01:42made up your mind
01:01:42about who you want?
01:01:44don't tell me you're expecting
01:01:45all three of us
01:01:46to chase you
01:01:46you really think
01:01:47you can handle
01:01:48three alphas at once?
01:01:49they took my silence
01:01:50as an answer
01:01:51and burst out back
01:01:53tell you what
01:01:55if that's what you want
01:01:56maybe we should just
01:01:57mark 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
01:02:03they grabbed me
01:02:04hands pinning me down
01:02:05one covering my mouth
01:02:06and lunged for my neck
01:02:14split second
01:02:15before they could bite down
01:02:16they drove my knee
01:02:17hard
01:02:17straight into the worst
01:02:18possible place
01:02:19teach me a lesson
01:02:21right back at you
01:02:22whoa
01:02:22you're actually mad?
01:02:24we were just messing around
01:02:25sure
01:02:26I straightened up
01:02:26and if any of you
01:02:27are already in love
01:02:28with someone else
01:02:28go tell my father
01:02:29he's the one pushing
01:02:30this arrangement
01:02:31but he's not gonna force anyone
01:02:32you know that
01:02:33all they had to do
01:02:34was be honest
01:02:34dad would find another way
01:02:36so why wouldn't any of them
01:02:37just say something?
01:02:38Lucas grabbed my wrist
01:02:39oh so now you're scared
01:02:41what happened to wanting
01:02:42all three of us?
01:02:43you were practically
01:02:44throwing yourself at me before
01:02:45don't tell me you're
01:02:46backing out now
01:02:47if you've already decided
01:02:48just say it
01:02:49everyone already knows
01:02:51that's what you were
01:02:51talking to your dad
01:02:52about wasn't it?
01:02:53relax
01:02:54you'll find out
01:02:55when 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
01:03:02you stay out of my personal life
01:03:03those are my terms
01:03:04otherwise the wedding's off
01:03:06I stared at him
01:03:07that smug
01:03:07self-satisfied look
01:03:09on his face
01:03:09and almost laughed
01:03:10and what?
01:03:11I'm the one who doesn't
01:03:12want to marry you?
01:03:15but just as I opened my mouth
01:03:17Lila appeared out of nowhere
01:03:18Lucas!
01:03:19oh!
01:03:20hi Scarlet
01:03:21the second she spotted me
01:03:22she flinched like she'd seen
01:03:23a ghost and ducked
01:03:24behind Lucas
01:03:24Lucas stepped in front of her
01:03:26without thinking
01:03:26she didn't do anything
01:03:27just leave her alone today
01:03:29okay?
01:03:29I stared at them
01:03:30genuinely confused
01:03:31and then I realized
01:03:32all three of them
01:03:33had formed a wall
01:03:34around Lila
01:03:34like they were shielding her
01:03:35from me
01:03:36just like five years ago
01:03:37it was always for a side
01:03:39they chose
01:03:40five years ago
01:03:41on Lila's birthday
01:03:42I'd picked out a jeweled
01:03:43bracelet to give her
01:03:44as a wealth gift
01:03:47oh wow
01:03:47it's gorgeous
01:03:48she smiled
01:03:49and handed me
01:03:50a velvet box
01:03:51this is for you too
01:03:53but
01:03:53the second I opened it
01:03:54Lucas snatched it
01:03:55out of my hands
01:03:58that belonged to
01:03:59Lila's mother
01:04:00you'd really take
01:04:01a 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
01:04:14a bracelet
01:04:15I'm really okay
01:04:16I'm not upset
01:04:18the more she groveled
01:04:19the more furious
01:04:20the 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
01:04:28be 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
01:04:39a misunderstanding
01:04:40I swallowed my anger
01:04:41and held the hairpin
01:04:42out to Lila
01:04:43when she reached for it
01:04:44her grip slipped
01:04:48the crystal hairpin
01:04:49hit 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
01:04:57Luz's turn 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
01:05:03I'd already told Lucas
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
01:05:12to fight back
01:05:13so I apologized
01:05:13eyes burning
01:05:14head down
01:05:15and I kept apologizing
01:05:16for the next five years
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
01:05:22bursting into tears
01:05:23crying out
01:05:23flinching away
01:05:24and I hadn't done
01:05:25a single thing to her
01:05:28I looked at Lucas
01:05:29my voice flat
01:05:30if you're that scared
01:05:31I'll hurt her
01:05:32just keep her attached
01:05:33to your hip 24-7
01:05:34is that a threat
01:05:35what are you planning
01:05:36to do to her
01:05:37Jackson snapped his fingers
01:05:38and pointed at me
01:05:39don't tell me you're going
01:05:40to use the starlit deep thing
01:05:42as an excuse
01:05:43to go after her
01:05:43you have everything
01:05:44Lila's never had anyone
01:05:46celebrate her birthday
01:05:47not once
01:05:48it's just one gift
01:05:49why are you making it
01:05:50into a whole thing
01:05:51something dropped
01:05:52in my stomach
01:05:53the starlit deep
01:05:55the starlit deep
01:05:56was an underground
01:05:57ocean pavilion
01:05:58construction had started
01:05:59the year I was born
01:06:00on the southeast end
01:06:02there was a vein
01:06:02of the finest
01:06:03imperial green jade
01:06:04and when light
01:06:05filtered through the water
01:06:06it scattered across
01:06:07the walls like a galaxy
01:06:08six months ago
01:06:09as it neared completion
01:06:10dad handed the
01:06:11finishing work to Lucas

01:07:21I'm the one who
01:07:22doesn't want to marry you
01:07:25but just as I opened my mouth
01:07:27Lila appeared out of nowhere
01:07:29Lucas oh
01:07:30hi Scarlet
01:07:31the second she spotted me
01:07:32she flinched like she'd seen a ghost
01:07:34and ducked behind Lucas
01:07:35Lucas stepped in front of her
01:07:36without thinking
01:07:37she didn't do anything
01:07:38just leave her alone today
01:07:39okay
01:07:39I stared at them
01:07:40genuinely confused
01:07:42and then I realized
01:07:42all three of them
01:07:43had formed a wall
01:07:44around Lila
01:07:45like they were shielding her
01:07:46from me
01:07:46just like five years ago
01:07:48it was always her side
01:07:49they chose
01:07:50five years ago
01:07:51on Lila's birthday
01:07:52I'd picked out
01:07:53a jeweled bracelet
01:07:54to give her
01:07:54as a welcome gift
01:07:57oh wow
01:07:58it's gorgeous
01:07:58she smiled
01:08:00and handed me
01:08:00a velvet box
01:08:01this is for you too
01:08:03but
01:08:03the second I opened it
01:08:04Lucas snatched it
01:08:05out of my hands
01:08:08that belonged
01:08:09to Lila's mother
01:08:11you'd really take
01:08:12a dead woman's keepsake
01:08:14I looked at Lila
01:08:15waiting for her
01:08:16to tell them
01:08:16that she'd offered it herself
01:08:17no it wasn't
01:08:18Scarlet's fault
01:08:19I gave it to her
01:08:21she was so kind to me
01:08:23she even brought me
01:08:24a bracelet
01:08:25I'm really okay
01:08:26I'm not upset
01:08:28the more she groveled
01:08:29the more furious
01:08:30the three of them got
01:08:31being the alpha's daughter
01:08:33doesn't give you
01:08:33the right to guilt someone
01:08:34into handing over
01:08:35their dead mother's things
01:08:37that hairpin
01:08:38may not be worth much
01:08:39but it means everything
01:08:40give it back to her
01:08:42now
01:08:44same old Scarlet
01:08:45always taking what she wants
01:08:47never caring who gets hurt
01:08:48maybe it was all
01:08:49a misunderstanding
01:08:51I swallowed my anger
01:08:52and held the hairpin
01:08:52out to Lila
01:08:53when she reached for it
01:08:54her grip slipped
01:08:58the crystal hairpin
01:08:59hit the floor
01:09:00and shattered
01:09:00Lila's lip trembled
01:09:02then she bit down on it
01:09:03and screamed at me
01:09:04if you'd rather destroy it
01:09:05than give it back
01:09:06then why even bother
01:09:07pretending
01:09:08Lusa's turn to ice
01:09:09apologize to her
01:09:10right now
01:09:11he pointed at me
01:09:11jaw tight
01:09:12by that point
01:09:13I'd already told Lucas
01:09:14how I felt
01:09:15I told him I'd only
01:09:16ever want him
01:09:17he used that against me
01:09:18held it over my head
01:09:19to make me bow down
01:09:19to Lila
01:09:20I was too young
01:09:21too scared of losing him
01:09:22to fight back
01:09:23so I apologized
01:09:24eyes burning
01:09:25head down
01:09:25and I kept apologizing
01:09:27for the next five years
01:09:28after that day
01:09:29every time Lila saw me
01:09:30she acted like I was
01:09:31something to be afraid of
01:09:32bursting into tears
01:09:33crying out
01:09:34flinching away
01:09:34and I hadn't done
01:09:35a single thing to her
01:09:38I looked at Lucas
01:09:39my voice flat
01:09:40if you're that scared
01:09:41I'll hurt her
01:09:42just keep her attached
01:09:43to your hip 24-7
01:09:45is that a threat?
01:09:46what are you planning
01:09:47to do to her?
01:09:47Jackson snapped his fingers
01:09:49and pointed at me
01:09:49don't tell me you're going
01:09:50to use the starlet deep thing
01:09:52as an excuse
01:09:53to go after her

01:09:55Lila's never had anyone

01:09:57not once
01:09:58it's just one gift

01:10:00into a whole thing?
01:10:01something dropped
01:10:02in my stomach
01:10:03the starlet
01:10:05the starlet deep
01:10:06was an underground

01:10:13of the finest imperial
01:10:14green jade

01:10:15through the water
