00:09Truth or dare.
00:15I was just leaving.
00:17Oh, hey, Romilly. Come hang out with us.
00:19No, no, no. I've got a curfew. I've got to head back.
00:22Just one round.
00:23Guys, this is Romilly.
00:25She got the scholarship last semester,
00:27the smartest kid in our grade,
00:28and she's such a nice person.
00:30You wouldn't want to kill the vibe, right?
00:31Truth or dare.
00:35Fine, I'll pick truth.
00:36Dare. Daires are way more fun.
00:39Dare it is. Come on.
00:45Whoa. I just overheard some major tea.
00:55I don't think I misheard that. Lily, wait here.
00:57Where are you going, Lorna?
01:05Hey.
01:12What happened?
01:16You're the one who called me, aren't you?
01:17Last weekend, you asked me to meet you at the school newspaper office.
01:21Yes.
01:21Yes, it was me.
01:22Who did this?
01:24They said it was just a joke.
01:26It was truth or dare.
01:28That's not a joke.
01:32You know, if you need help, I'm here for you.
01:35Thanks, Lorna, but you can't help me.
01:40We go to different schools.
01:41I saw your post online.
01:43That's how I learned what they were doing to me.
01:46Calling it friendship while hurting me.
01:49That's bullying.
01:54I really wish my school had someone like you on the newspaper.
02:02Romley, today it's your hair cut apart under the excuse of just a joke.
02:07If you let this slide, tomorrow they'll find something even worse to do.
02:12They know you won't fight back.
02:20Hair grows back.
02:22But some things you don't speak up about today, you'll never find the courage to say later.
02:30What's going on?
02:31And it's not just me.
02:33All of us can help you.
02:35Romilly?
02:36You know her?
02:37She's my classmate.
02:39Why are you crying?
02:51What?
02:52That's messed up.
02:53Why would they cut your hair like that?
02:56Maxine.
02:57Sometimes rushing in to help can make things worse for her later.
03:01We need to hear what Romilly wants first.
03:03They're super popular at school.
03:05They have tons of friends.
03:07Everyone likes them.
03:08Let's just leave it alone.
03:10I always went along with whatever she wanted.
03:12I was terrified that if I didn't keep her happy, she'd turn everyone against me.
03:16Eleni and her crew?
03:17You're on good terms with her?
03:18Not really.
03:19I've just heard they kiss up to the Vanderbilt siblings.
03:23Vanderbilt?
03:24Iris and Rice?
03:26Yeah.
03:26I invited them.
03:27They were over there a minute ago.
03:29Reece Vanderbilt?
03:30The baseball star?
03:31You know him?
03:32I met him at state tournaments before I-
03:34Guys, can we hit pause?
03:36Romilly, this is your call.
03:37Romilly, what are you doing out here?
03:39You just bolted off earlier.
03:47Did you cut Romilly's hair?
03:51It wasn't me.
03:53We were just playing a game.
03:55We were all worried when Romilly took off like that.
03:59Romilly?
04:01Romilly?
04:02Romilly?
04:04You're the new transfer?
04:05I can be your first friend.
04:13Elvine's always gotten that scholarship before.
04:21Sorry, sweetie.
04:22There's no room left.
04:30Romilly, I'm talking to you.
04:31You should see me in a crowd.
04:35I don't think this was a joke.
04:38Pardon me?
04:42She said she doesn't think this was a joke.
04:44And who are you?
04:47Whoa, hold on.
04:48It doesn't matter who she is.
04:50I'm Lorna.
04:54Lorna.
04:55Alright.
04:57Let me ask you.
04:59How long have you known Romilly?
05:01How many times have you seen her before tonight?
05:06I've known her for a year.
05:08I was the first person to talk to her on her first day at school.
05:11I showed her around when she was new.
05:14And for the record, we don't even go to the same school.
05:19Romilly, you're gonna side with someone you've known for less than an hour instead of us?
05:25You're right.
05:26I only met her tonight.
05:28So I'm curious.
05:30You've known her a whole year.
05:32Where were you when she came crying down those stairs?
05:36Also, you claim you were just playing a game.
05:38Romilly never chose to sit down.
05:40You forced her.
05:42She picks truth.
05:43You changed it.
05:44So everything your friend just said proves one thing.
05:47This wasn't a game.
05:48This was a setup you ganged up on her for.
05:52A joke only counts if both people are laughing.
05:56You cut off a girl's most cherished hair and call that a joke?
06:04Oh, and you said it wasn't you.
06:07I didn't see who held the scissors.
06:09But everyone saw who made the rules, who forced her to sit, and who laughed as she ran away.
06:15You're pretty good with words.
06:17I work for the school paper.
06:19Being articulate is part of the job.
06:22Telling the truth is the ethics.
06:25I hope your new friend doesn't get the wrong idea about us.
06:31Excuse me.
06:32This is my party.
06:34I don't recall inviting any of you.
06:45Dude, that last line of yours was chef's kiss.
06:49Perry actually tipped me off back there.
06:51As much as I can't stand Perry Green, I gotta admit he's got his uses in a pinch.
06:55Weren't you grounded?
06:57Mind your own business.
06:59Let me introduce everyone.
07:00This is Maxine, our school's cheer captain.
07:03That's Liliana.
07:05Over there's Keaton, Perry Green, Felix.
07:08You know him, right?
07:09He's your school's baseball team captain.
07:10So don't be scared.
07:12We've got your back.
07:15Thanks, Lorna, but we go to different schools.
07:18And Elvily's really popular.
07:19She's got tons of Instagram followers.
07:21She has so much clout.
07:22I'm still kind of scared.
07:23Lots of clout?
07:26Got anything on her?
07:31Thank you again.
07:33But I have no idea what they'll do when school starts next Monday,
07:36or how they might get back at you guys.
07:37What if this drags you into it?
07:39Romalee, you don't have to overthink this tonight.
07:41All you need to know is what's right and what's wrong.
07:44Call me if you need anything.
07:48Besides, I think you'd rock a short haircut.
08:03You said the Vanderbilt divvlings were here?
08:05Yeah, I invited them.
08:06You know them?
08:08They're kids from my dad's business partners.
08:10Met them a few times at fancy parties growing up.
08:13Are you close with them?
08:14Not really.
08:15Why?
08:16Nothing.
08:17I don't think either of them are good news.
08:20Hey Lorna.
08:24Yes?
08:26Earlier, when Maxine and I were talking, were you nearby?
08:38I was dancing the whole time, out on the dance floor.
08:42Alright, I uh...
08:43Lorna!
08:45Lorna!
08:45Lucas just fell in the pool.
08:49Oh my god, can he be for real?
08:57I always went along with whatever she wanted.
09:00I was terrified that if I didn't keep her happy, she'd turn everyone against me.
09:26I think you need to be more careful.
09:32Stay safe.
09:40Good luck.
09:41Whatever you choose to do, I've got your back.
09:47What's wrong?
09:49Something feels off.
09:52Romelli sent me a selfie of her and Iris.
09:54She said they worked everything out.
10:03Maybe Elwyn actually realized he messed up.
10:06I just can't shake this bad feeling.
10:12Your main priority right now is nailing that editor-in-chief race.
10:15If Romelli really needs help, she'll reach out.
10:20But still, can't afford to mess this campaign up.
10:23If you lose against Julian, you won't be in any position to help anybody.
10:28They have spots.
10:30Chefs.
10:31Oh, it's crazy.
10:33I appreciate it.
10:34Sorry, the spot's taken.
10:42I'm trying to put you in the worst mood.
10:44Got it.
10:49So, what's our next move?
10:50I'm trying to put you in the worst mood.
10:57Got it.
