00:06You're dead! You hear me? Dead!
00:10His room was right next to mine.
00:18My mother, my own mom, was feeding the enemy blueberry pancakes.
00:24This was a hostage situation, and I was the hostage.
00:27Like, nine times in four minutes.
00:30Because he's ruining my life!
00:32You know what this sounds like, right?
00:35What?
00:36Obsession.
00:37Oh, this is happening! This is absolutely happening!
00:39No! Spin again!
00:41What's the matter, Marge? Scared?
00:43Of your breath? Yeah.
00:46Relax.
00:48It was spin the bauble. It doesn't mean anything.
00:53That's all it was.
00:55Stupid.
00:56Drunk.
00:58Meaningless game.
00:59So why?
01:01Could I still feel it?
01:02There are three things you need to know about my life.
01:05One, my mom makes the best real cheese on the eastern seaboard.
01:08Two, I will die on the hill that Empire Strike Back film, who is a six-foot golden retreat backer,
01:13has made it his personal my summer.
01:14You're cornered, little man! Surrender or face annihilation! You literally used the word annihilation wrong last week on your English
01:22final!
01:23Summer started! Words don't count anymore!
01:26Four!
01:27You're dead.
01:29I win.
01:33Best of seven?
01:34It's already best of seven.
01:37I'm up four to one.
01:39Boys, if I find one more dart in the pasta pot, you're both grounded until college.
01:45That was Theo. I did it.
01:48Clean up.
01:49Both of you.
01:51And Theo, your friend's arriving in an hour.
01:55What friend?
01:56Oh yeah, didn't I mention?
01:58Beckett's staying next door for the summer.
02:00His mom rented the Callahan place.
02:03You didn't mention that.
02:06You definitely, absolutely did not mention that.
02:11Must have slipped my mind.
02:13Beckett Hale.
02:14My brother's best friend.
02:15The most arrogant and sufferable human being I have ever misfortune of breathing near.
02:20And he was gonna live next door.
02:22All summer.
02:32Well, well.
02:33Little Marsh.
02:34Miss me?
02:35About as much as I'd miss food poisoning.
02:37Your brother's still adorable when he's angry.
02:39Call me cute one more time and I'll key in your car.
02:42Okay.
02:43Great start, everyone.
02:44Really feeling the love.
02:46Relax.
02:47I'm sure we'll be best friends by August.
02:49I'd rather chew glass.
02:51Careful.
02:52I'm right next door now.
02:54Nowhere to hide.
02:58El, come swim.
02:59I'm reading.
03:01What is this?
03:02Sylvia Plain?
03:03Light summer reading?
03:04Give it back.
03:05Come get it.
03:08Oh, no!
03:14You're dead.
03:15You hear me?
03:16Dead.
03:16You needed to cool off.
03:19I was going to survive this summer.
03:21And I was gonna make Beckland Hall's life a living hell.
03:24All right.
03:33His room...
03:35Was right...
03:36Next to mine.
03:50Morning, roomie. We're not roommates. Neighbors, then. Thin walls, by the way. You talk in your sleep.
04:01Oh, Beckett. You're up early. Pancakes?
04:04Mrs. Marsh, you're a saint. I'd love some.
04:08Call me Catherine, sweetheart. You're family this summer.
04:11He's a stray my family keeps feeding.
04:14Elliot.
04:15It's fine. He's adorable when he's grumpy.
04:23My mother, my own mom, was feeding the enemy blueberry pancakes. This was a hostage situation, and I was the
04:32hostage.
04:36He's everywhere. The kitchen, the yard, the bathroom. I went to brush my teeth, and his stupid toothbrush was just
04:43sitting there, next to mine, touching mine.
04:48What a tragedy.
04:50I'm serious, Slona. It's an invasion.
04:52You've mentioned him, like, nine times in four minutes.
04:56Because he's ruining my life.
04:58You know what this sounds like, right?
05:02What?
05:04Nothing. Forget it.
05:06No. What does it sound like?
05:13Obsession.
05:18I'm not. That's insane. I hate him.
05:22Yeah.
05:23You've made that super clear.
05:26All I'm saying is, most people who hate someone, they just ignore them.
05:30They don't track their toothbrush placement.
05:33I need new friends.
05:39I thought this was our pool day.
05:41It is.
05:42Beckett's part of our now. Deal with it, little brother.
05:49Did Beckett just...
05:50Yep.
05:57Nice form.
05:59Six out of ten.
06:00Nobody asked for your opinion.
06:02Weak splash.
06:04I can fix that if you want.
06:06I'd rather drown.
06:16Guys!
06:17Mateo just texted.
06:18He's throwing a massive party this weekend.
06:20See?
06:21You lived.
06:21Everyone's invited.
06:23Let's go!
06:24I told myself the weird feeling in my chest was chlorine burn.
06:27That's all it was.
06:28Chlorine.
06:33Here's my foolproof plan for surviving Mateo's in this party.
06:37Step one, avoid Beckett Hale.
06:39Step two, drink until step one doesn't matter.
06:43You sure you're good?
06:44You've been weird all week.
06:46I'm great.
06:47I'm fantastic.
06:48Give me that.
06:51That's not water.
06:53That's the point.
06:57So much for Scott Bale.
06:58All right, all right.
06:59Spin the bottle.
07:00Plastic rules.
07:01No chicken out.
07:04You look like you're about to pass out.
07:10Working on it.
07:29Oh, this is happening.
07:31This is absolutely happening.
07:32No.
07:33Spin again.
07:34What's the matter, Marsh?
07:35Scared?
07:36Of your breath?
07:37Yeah.
07:39Relax.
07:40It's just a game.
07:47Okay.
07:47Okay, guys.
07:48You can stop now.
07:57It was a game.
07:58It was nothing.
07:59Elliot.
08:00Hey.
08:01You good?
08:03Don't.
08:03Don't what?
08:04Don't stand there like that was nothing.
08:07It was spin the bauble.
08:08It doesn't mean anything.
08:15What the hell?
08:25It was a game.
08:26That's all it was.
08:27Stupid.
08:29Drunk.
08:30Meaningless game.
08:31So why?
08:33God, I still feel it.
08:43I didn't sleep.
08:44Not really.
08:46Every time I closed my eyes, I felt it.
08:48His mouth.
08:49The pressure.
08:50The way the room disappeared.
08:52Then the crack of my fist against his jaw.
08:54Both felt violent.
08:56Both felt violent.
09:00My plan was simple.
09:02Stay in this room September.
09:05Maybe October.
09:06Maybe forever.
09:08Elliot, honey.
09:10Breakfast.
09:11Beckett made French toast.
09:13I'm sick.
09:16You were fine yesterday.
09:20It hit fast.
09:22Probably terminal.
09:25Elliot James Marsh.
09:27You have five minutes.
09:41Dude, these are incredible.
09:42You should open a restaurant.
09:44Maybe I will.
09:45Call it Punched in the Face Cafe.
09:47Great origin story.
09:49Ha ha ha ha.
09:52There he is.
09:53Sit down.
09:54Eat something.
10:03You're not having Beckett's French toast?
10:05It's life-changing.
10:07I'm good with cereal.
10:09Yeah, cereal's a safe choice.
10:11Low risk.
10:19Beckett, do you just lurk in hallways?
10:22Relax.
10:23I wanted to talk.
10:26We have nothing to talk about.
10:30It was a game, Elliot.
10:32Spin the bottle.
10:34People kiss.
10:35The world keeps turning.
10:37Great.
10:38World's turning.
10:39Move.
10:43You hit me pretty hard for something that meant nothing.
10:46It meant nothing.
10:48Then why can't you even look at me?
10:55I'm looking.
10:56I'm looking.
10:56See?
10:57Nothing.
10:59You kissed back.
11:02You're insane.
11:12I told myself it was research, but nobody types that at two in the morning unless something already cracked open.
11:24Worst part, it wasn't a kiss.
11:27It was knowing he couldn't sleep either.
11:30And some broken part of him he was glad.
11:38Step one, he's so aggressively normal that the universe forgets Saturday ever happened.
11:42Step two, never think about his mouth again.
11:44Step three, there is no step three.
11:47Steps one and two are already impossible.
11:49Hey, Brianna, you do something different with your hair?
11:52Looks amazing.
11:53Got a trim?
11:54Like, two weeks ago?
11:56Well, it's really working for you.
12:03Is he flirting?
12:06Badly.
12:07No, I mean, since when does Elliot Marsh flirt in the hallway at eight in the morning?
12:14Something happened at that party.
12:16Obviously, something happened at that party.
12:18He punched Beckett Hale in the face.
12:20No, something else.
12:24So Theo tries to flip the kayak back over, right?
12:27And he just full scorpion into the lake, face first.
12:36You're in a mood today.
12:38What mood?
12:39I'm great.
12:41I'm fantastic.
12:42Exactly.
12:43That's what's weird.
12:46You going to Griffon's thing this weekend?
12:48Maybe.
12:50You asking me to go?
12:52Maybe I am.
12:55What the hell?
13:03You're a terrible actor, Elliot.
13:05Back off.
13:06You keep running from it.
13:08But I was there.
13:09You kissed me back.
13:12Oh, one more thing.
13:13That party?
13:14Someone had their phone out.
13:15I've seen the video.
13:16You're lying.
13:18You're lying.
13:19You punched me back that night and it would have hurt less than this because a bruise fades.
13:23But a video?
13:24A video lives forever.
13:29Yesterday, he cornered me in the hallway and said somebody caught that kiss on video.
13:34You look wrecked.
13:35Like you didn't sleep at all.
13:37Back off.
13:38I deleted the video.
13:39It's not going anywhere.
13:40If that clip gets out, we're both screwed.
13:42I need to ask you something.
13:45Don't do this.
13:46My AP lit essays do Friday and I've got nothing.
13:50You're good with words.
13:51Help me out.
13:52Just this once.
13:54You're blackmailing me over an essay?
13:56I'm not blackmailing you.
13:58I just...
13:59I really don't know how to get close to you.
14:02I just wanted an excuse to talk to you a little longer.
14:05You're sick.
14:06With you?
14:07I've been messed up for a long time.
14:12He deleted it days ago.
14:13He had no leverage.
14:15Nothing.
14:16And I still wrote the essay.
14:18So is he that good?
14:19Or did I lose this a long time ago?
14:22He said he wanted my attention.
14:24The stupid part is he's had it since the day he moved in next door.
14:38Iced Americana?
14:39I don't want to serve you.
14:40I came to apologize.
14:42I shouldn't have used the video to scare you.
14:44I shouldn't have pushed you into stuff you didn't want to do.
14:46I just...
14:47I was scared you'd push me away again.
14:49Scared you'd stop talking to me for good.
14:50You always find the dumbest way to ruin everything.
14:54I know.
14:56I'll do better.
15:00I heard people at school saying you've been doing Beckett's homework.
15:04He asked and I just didn't say no.
15:07Did he threaten you?
15:08You don't have to just take that.
15:11No.
15:12I agreed to it.
15:19I'm not writing another thing for you.
15:21And I'm not letting you drag me around anymore.
15:23I get it.
15:24I'm not pushing you.
15:25I'll wait.
15:27I'm not worth waiting for.
15:29Yeah, you are.
15:32Whatever this was between us, it wasn't over.
15:34But at least the ugliest, hardest part of it was finally behind us.
