00:00 Hey, Newt, have you grown since yesterday?
00:05 Have I?
00:07 Nope, still five foot annoying.
00:10 That's better than 4'11".
00:13 Yes, it is.
00:15 Hey, Bella, is it just me or is this unassuming middle school hallway one of the most magical places on earth?
00:24 Okay, Troy, you've been in the best mood all week. What gives?
00:28 Well, let's just say I finally met my match.
00:31 A girl so perfect, the only thing we'll ever argue about is who's the pretty one.
00:38 Oh my gosh, Troy, this is so cool. Who is she and does she like hugs?
00:43 Hey, you can ask yourself. Here she comes now.
00:47 Charlotte Newman?
00:56 My dog must have eight ears.
00:59 He said it was a woo-wow.
01:07 Ooh, Bella, got a little spinach in the grill.
01:14 Charlotte?
01:19 Is that my bae?
01:20 It's your bae.
01:22 Oh, stinking away.
01:26 You won't find me in the bleachers.
01:31 Now that girl is one of us.
01:33 I'm made of spice and sugar.
01:36 She's pretty, she's pretty tough.
01:37 And add a little glitter.
01:39 Brianna's in the crowd of dubs.
01:41 And you get, you get, ooh.
01:43 Her game changer, playmaker, take the ball, she'll see you later.
01:47 I'm on a dreamlike, teamlike, living like one of the boys.
01:51 She got it going, going, she got it going on.
01:55 I'm on a play like Friday night, kicking like one of the boys.
01:59 She got it going, going, she got it going on.
02:03 So, uh, see you in Madflies?
02:13 Text me later?
02:14 I'll text you sooner.
02:16 Bye, Bella. Nice skirt.
02:20 (laughing)
02:22 Charlotte, I'd feel better if you were dating a rattlesnake.
02:30 At least with them you can suck the venom out.
02:32 What are you talking about?
02:36 Your bae is bad news.
02:38 Did you hear what she just said to me?
02:40 Nice skirt?
02:42 Oh, no.
02:43 She didn't just say, "Nice skirt."
02:45 She said, "Nice skirt."
02:49 I don't...
02:50 It was a total sarcastic put-down.
02:53 Okay, you want some peanut butter to go with all that jelly?
02:57 (sniffing)
02:58 Troy, this is not jealousy.
03:01 You have to watch your back around Charlotte.
03:03 I know she seems all sweet and perfect, but she is not.
03:07 (phone buzzing)
03:09 Aw, she just sent me the cutest selfie.
03:13 She is so pretty, she doesn't even need a filter.
03:15 Look.
03:16 I will not.
03:18 Bella, look, I'm sorry that you feel this way about Charlotte, all right?
03:22 But, hey, people change.
03:24 It'd have to be a pretty big change.
03:26 Look, you just don't know her like I do.
03:29 Okay?
03:30 Charlotte pumps me up, she's got my back.
03:32 Plus, she smells like birthday cake,
03:34 and you know that is my favorite.
03:37 (gasps)
03:39 Troy, I just don't want to see you get hurt.
03:42 As your friend, I am begging you,
03:45 please don't date Charlotte.
03:47 And as your friend, I say again, jelly!
03:51 Okay.
03:53 Then as your quarterback, I forbid you from seeing Charlotte.
03:56 Forbid?
03:57 Mm-hmm.
03:58 You forbade me?
03:59 I will not be verboten!
04:01 Bella, look, you may make the calls on the field,
04:04 but not in my personal life, all right?
04:06 I'm dating Charlotte, so you better get used to it.
04:09 (scoffs)
04:11 Verboten?
04:12 That's not even a word.
04:14 It's German!
04:16 Who put crickets in my locker?
04:25 If this is somebody's idea of a prank,
04:27 you can do better.
04:30 Oh, sorry, dude.
04:32 There was no room for them in mine.
04:34 They're for peppers when you pet frog.
04:36 I didn't know crickets and frogs were friends.
04:38 No, dude, the frog eats.
04:41 Yeah, they're good friends.
04:44 So, you two have been together for a while.
04:47 How's that going?
04:48 Sorry, dude, I don't kiss and tell.
04:50 I also don't kiss.
04:53 Pepper and I are in no rush to get serious.
04:56 (phone buzzes)
04:57 Oh, there she is now.
04:59 Oh.
05:01 It sure sounds like you and Pepper are serious.
05:03 You text each other a lot.
05:05 Actually, this one's my mom.
05:07 She's been hassling me to bring home my smelly gym clothes
05:10 ever since she got that message from an anonymous teammate.
05:13 Huh.
05:14 Whoever that is.
05:16 Yeah, I can't believe we never figured out his true identity.
05:20 Let me tell her I'm bringing home the clothes.
05:24 Oh, thank goodness.
05:26 (gasps)
05:27 What's wrong?
05:29 I texted my mom I love you.
05:31 Aw.
05:32 But I accidentally sent it to Pepper.
05:34 What?
05:36 You just told Pepper?
05:37 I love you?
05:40 Did he?
05:41 But I-- are we--
05:43 Can't even.
05:45 Set, hut!
05:53 Nice catch, Troy!
05:59 (whistle blows)
06:01 Look at her.
06:05 Distracting everybody from practice.
06:07 You guys, huddle up!
06:09 We are.
06:11 I knew that.
06:15 Okay, guys.
06:17 Z hook, H post on one-on-one.
06:19 Ready? Break!
06:21 Down!
06:25 Set!
06:26 Your thing, Troy!
06:28 Oh!
06:30 Time out!
06:35 Coach, Charlotte is a total distraction.
06:38 Can't you ask her to leave?
06:40 Dawson, I think the only one distracted is you.
06:43 But, Coach, I'm just--
06:44 Troy has been in beast mode since that girl came around.
06:47 In fact, he's been playing so well,
06:49 I sent a video to a scout I know
06:51 from the Whitworth Boys Academy.
06:54 Wow.
06:55 They have the best high school football team in Texas.
06:57 Yeah.
06:58 And if he keeps playing like this,
07:00 he might win a spot there next year.
07:02 That's amazing!
07:04 Troy has been playing really great.
07:07 Maybe Charlotte's good for him after all.
07:10 And he does seem really happy.
07:13 You think?
07:24 I guess I can give Charlotte another chance.
07:28 For Troy. Right, Coach?
07:31 Yeah, whatever, Dawson.
07:33 If you'll give me a minute,
07:34 I'm updating my resume in case Whitworth needs a new coach.
07:38 Coach, you're gonna leave?
07:39 Oh, no, no, no.
07:41 Not unless they ask me.
07:43 Hey, Troy.
07:48 Hi, Charlotte.
07:50 Hey, Bella.
07:51 What's up?
07:53 Charlotte, I know we haven't always gotten along,
07:56 and occasionally we've had our issues,
07:59 most of which I've talked through with the guidance counselor.
08:03 But now that you're dating my friend,
08:05 we should be friends, too.
08:07 Really?
08:09 Really.
08:10 Wanna grab a smoothie after practice?
08:12 Sorry, I already have a mini-petty scheduled.
08:15 Hey, why don't you go with her?
08:17 My girlfriend and my girl-friend.
08:22 Huh?
08:23 Sure, that sounds like fun.
08:25 And I could really use it, so...
08:28 Well, end today.
08:29 All right!
08:30 So let's commemorate this moment with a photo.
08:33 Here you go.
08:37 Thanks.
08:39 Hey, don't worry about trying to capture our good side.
08:42 They're all good.
08:44 Okay, do you think when Sawyer texted "I love you,"
08:55 he meant, "Will you wear my Bulldogs jacket to the playoff game?"
08:58 Or did he just mean, "I love you like I love Tater Tots?"
09:01 Or maybe he meant--
09:02 I think "I love you" means he loves you.
09:05 Ugh, can't you ever just be a good friend
09:07 and tell me my boyfriend doesn't love me?
09:10 Listen, I know this is stressful,
09:12 but you've got to respond to Sawyer.
09:14 What do I say?
09:15 I'm not ready for this.
09:17 I thought he was the strong, silent type,
09:19 not the lovey-dovey, texty type.
09:21 Well, it's been 24 hours.
09:23 Just send him something. Anything.
09:25 Cookie? I'm doing it.
09:28 I am doing it. I'm doing it.
09:31 And send. There, done.
09:34 What'd she say?
09:35 I have no idea.
09:37 What the what?
09:41 O-M-moji.
09:46 Can I be honest?
09:50 I didn't really expect to have such a good time with you.
09:53 Me neither. This is fun.
09:56 All done.
09:58 You have the feet of an angel who walks on clouds.
10:02 Let's go do your fingernails.
10:04 You are gonna have to stay back here for a while.
10:10 Should I get a magazine?
10:12 I'd get two.
10:14 Okay.
10:18 Oh, Sherry, it's my ex-boyfriend, Blake.
10:21 Can you check it for me?
10:23 Girl, looks like he's wanting to get back together with you.
10:26 My plan totally worked.
10:28 I was only going out with Troy to make Blake jealous.
10:31 I guess it's time to break up with Troy.
10:33 Oh, you are good.
10:35 And by good, I mean terrible.
10:38 Man-feet back there will lose it if she found out I used her friend.
10:44 Bad news. Man-feet just found out.
10:48 I can't believe you've been using Troy this whole time.
10:57 I mean, I can't believe it, but I'm still surprised.
11:02 He'll be fine.
11:04 When are you gonna do it?
11:06 I'm not.
11:07 The easiest way to dump a guy is to stop talking to him.
11:10 You can't ice Troy out. That's cruel.
11:13 At least let me break it to him.
11:16 He deserves to know he's been dumped.
11:18 Actually, that'd be great.
11:20 Then I don't have to deal with another guy texting.
11:23 I really need my laptop back.
11:26 You are a terrible person.
11:30 And apparently a laptop thief.
11:33 She called you a thief.
11:41 Man-feet just left with our flip-flops.
11:45 Troy, I have to tell you something.
11:52 Hey, look, whatever it is, it can wait.
11:54 I just got the best news of my life.
11:57 A scout from Whitworth is coming to see me play tomorrow.
12:00 That's incredible, Troy.
12:01 I know. Whitworth is my dream school.
12:03 If I could play for them, I'd be on the fast track to a college scholarship.
12:07 Oh, my gosh, you're going to blow them away.
12:09 You know it. But Charlotte, at practice this week,
12:12 I haven't just been the Troy, I've been the Troy-est.
12:15 And with her at the game, I will be unstoppable.
12:18 How about that?
12:20 Troy, you don't need Charlotte out there to do well.
12:23 Whoa!
12:25 Look, I don't even want to think about how bad I'll play without Charlotte, okay?
12:29 I'd fall apart. So don't even joke like that.
12:32 Now, what was it that you wanted to tell me?
12:35 Pride.
12:37 I just wanted to tell you that, uh,
12:40 Charlotte says good luck and get lots of rest for tomorrow.
12:44 Oh, my bae is so sweet.
12:46 Can you believe how wrong you were about Charlotte?
12:49 [laughs]
12:50 Yeah, so wrong.
12:53 Um, Bella, look, speaking of wrong,
12:57 get some real shoes.
12:59 I mean, people are trying to eat.
13:03 [cheering]
13:05 The problem is, if I tell Troy the truth before the game,
13:13 he'll fall apart in front of the scout and never get into his dream school.
13:17 Just tell him after the game, then.
13:19 He's bound to figure it out before then.
13:21 Troy texts Charlotte like a thousand times a day.
13:23 He even texts her from the bathroom.
13:25 - Ew. - I do that.
13:28 I mean...
13:30 Ew.
13:32 So, what are you gonna do?
13:34 I don't know. It's not like I can steal Troy's phone.
13:38 Actually, you can.
13:41 You can steal his phone and put your number under Charlotte's name.
13:45 That way, Troy will think he's texting Charlotte,
13:48 but he'll really be texting me.
13:50 That's genius, Sophie.
13:52 I do it to my brothers all the time.
13:54 They still think they're friends with Nick Cannon.
13:57 Come on, you guys can help me.
13:59 I should probably stay away from phones.
14:01 I don't trust my own thumbs anymore.
14:04 Good call. We don't want you to drop another emoji bomb.
14:07 I'll handle the phones. You and Sophie are on distraction duty.
14:10 All right.
14:12 Hey, Troy, you wanna hear the new cheer pepper I made for you?
14:20 Um, actually, I was just about to go.
14:23 I'd be totally blown away. Ready, Soph?
14:25 Yep. Uh...
14:27 Troy, Troy, Troy, he's our man, and if he can do it, no one can.
14:31 So we hope he does it, because if not...
14:34 Uh...
14:37 Uh... then there must be some kind of terrible mistake.
14:41 And we wouldn't want that during a game, because, um, duh, football!
14:46 Whoo!
14:48 So, um, what'd you think?
14:50 Well, the "Troy, Troy" part was really great. Do more of that.
14:54 Troy, Troy, Troy, Troy, Troy, Troy, Troy, Troy!
14:57 Okay, bye.
14:59 Okay.
15:03 They better not do that cheer at halftime.
15:05 But I can't tell Pepperbot Texas a mistake,
15:13 because you can't tell a lady you don't love her, you know?
15:17 I'm talking to crickets.
15:20 Great. I'm Pinocchio.
15:23 Okay.
15:25 I was up all night trying to crack Pepper's emoji code.
15:28 Are you sure it's a code?
15:30 All I see is a bunch of little cartoons.
15:32 Perhaps to the untrained eye,
15:34 but there is meaning beneath the meaning.
15:37 Listen carefully.
15:39 Baby chick hatching from an egg,
15:41 pink heart, spaceship,
15:43 blushing smiley face, panda bear.
15:45 Translation, the birth of our new love has me over the moon with happiness.
15:50 Panda bear.
15:52 What?
15:53 Don't worry.
15:54 An alternative reading is an army of tiny space pandas
15:57 is about to invade the Earth.
15:59 Oh, my gosh.
16:02 I can't believe it.
16:03 Pepper loves me.
16:05 Did you not hear the alternative reading?
16:09 Ugh, more texts.
16:18 (audience laughing)
16:20 Seriously, Troy?
16:26 I said, seriously, Troy?
16:29 You're gonna crush it out there tonight.
16:32 How will you know it?
16:33 As soon as I talk to Charlotte.
16:35 She's been texting me, but she doesn't quite sound like herself.
16:38 And I haven't seen her all day.
16:40 Ugh, that's because...
16:43 she's coming down with that flu bug.
16:45 She probably doesn't want to get you sick before your big game.
16:48 You know, because she's so...
16:51 thoughtful and sweet and...
16:54 whatnot.
16:56 Hmm.
16:59 That all sounds...
17:01 exactly like Charlotte.
17:03 Speaking of which,
17:05 it's almost time for her afternoon selfie.
17:07 Afternoon what-y?
17:09 Yeah.
17:10 She sends me one every day at 3 o'clock without fail.
17:13 So I can tell her how beautiful she is.
17:16 Huh, nothing yet.
17:18 This is so unlike her.
17:20 I'll be right back.
17:21 I forgot to remember to do something.
17:23 (audience laughing)
17:25 Oh!
17:26 Hey, Charlotte!
17:28 Phillip, why are you...
17:29 (audience laughing)
17:31 Oh, there's my girl.
17:34 I knew she wouldn't forget.
17:36 Oh, poor thing.
17:38 Looks like she's definitely finding something off.
17:41 (audience laughing)
17:42 Oh, she was.
17:44 I mean...
17:45 Oh, she is.
17:47 You know, I better call and make sure she's okay.
17:49 Oh, Troy, don't!
17:51 (phone ringing)
17:53 That's odd, I'm getting voicemail.
17:56 What's odd is leaving a voicemail.
17:59 I mean, "Hello, what year is this? 2014?"
18:02 (audience laughing)
18:04 Bella?
18:05 Why does Charlotte's number go to your voicemail?
18:09 What?
18:11 No, it doesn't.
18:13 Hi, it's Bella.
18:15 Leave a message at the bluff.
18:16 Bluff, bluff!
18:18 (phone beeping)
18:19 Look, Troy, the truth is...
18:23 Charlotte was only going out with you
18:25 to make her ex-boyfriend jealous
18:27 so that she could get back with him,
18:29 which she did.
18:31 It's over, Troy.
18:33 I didn't want you to find out
18:35 before your big game in front of the scout.
18:37 Charlotte broke up with me?
18:39 You've known all day and you didn't tell me?
18:42 I thought we were friends, Bella.
18:44 We are.
18:47 Well, friends are supposed to tell each other the truth.
18:51 I did tell you the truth...
18:57 after you caught me.
18:59 (audience laughing)
19:00 Come on.
19:02 (upbeat music)
19:06 Hey.
19:08 Oh, greetings.
19:10 Same to you, sir.
19:13 Score some touchdowns.
19:16 Thanks. You, too.
19:19 Oh, Troy?
19:23 Bye.
19:25 Thanks, you, too.
19:31 Yeah, 'cause you totally play football.
19:33 And here, I'll flash you a peace sign.
19:35 Who does that?
19:37 Swear, what's wrong?
19:39 Now that I know Pepper loves me,
19:41 I can't act normal around her.
19:43 Everything's changed.
19:45 We had a great thing going,
19:47 but now our relationship is doomed.
19:51 Doomed?
19:53 Oh, heck no.
19:55 What did I say about touching my arm?
20:01 It's a punchable offense.
20:03 Ow.
20:05 Worth it.
20:07 Why did your friend have to fall in love with my friend?
20:09 Now everything's ruined. Sawyer's a mess.
20:11 And, uh-uh, pal, Pepper's the one who turned into a mess
20:14 after your friend said, "I love you," like, way too soon.
20:17 That was an accident.
20:19 Sawyer meant to send that text to his mom.
20:21 He doesn't love Pepper.
20:23 Wait, so if Sawyer doesn't love Pepper
20:26 and Pepper doesn't love Sawyer, that means--
20:28 The tiny slice pandas are coming.
20:32 I mean, things can go back to normal.
20:35 Sawyer!
20:45 Pepper!
20:46 I don't love you.
20:47 I don't love you either.
20:49 That was our first hug.
20:57 What does that mean?
20:59 I don't know.
21:02 ( music playing )
21:05 Hey, Troy.
21:17 Listen, I'm sorry I tried to trick you.
21:21 I was only trying to help.
21:24 But I understand if you're still mad at me.
21:28 Girl, wait.
21:30 Look, I'm not mad at you, all right?
21:33 I'm mad at myself.
21:35 I should have listened to you about Charlotte.
21:37 I mean, you were just looking out for me
21:39 in your own way.
21:41 Your own crazy, weird, way too personal,
21:45 probably illegal in most countries' way.
21:47 And what's up with stealing my phone?
21:50 In my defense, you probably should have picked
21:52 a better password than "The Troy."
21:57 Why is she even here?
21:59 This is my big chance to get into Whitworth,
22:03 but I'm so angry, I don't even know
22:05 if I can focus on playing.
22:07 Unless you focus your anger on playing.
22:10 Or a better idea.
22:13 I can use my mad feelings to help me play better.
22:16 Or that.
22:18 Okay.
22:20 I'm about to kick some butt like this Whitworth scout
22:22 has never seen.
22:24 Yeah!

23:14 Boy, I'm so proud of you.
23:16 You really let your breakup fuel your game.
23:18 Charlotte broke up with you?
23:20 Whoa. Sorry, man.
23:22 Wow. Maybe she'd break up with the girl before every game.
23:25 Too soon, Sawyer.
23:27 Too soon.
23:29 Troy, uh, this is Drew Althoff,
23:33 the scout from Whitworth Academy.
23:36 I gotta admit, I'm impressed.
23:39 It's been a long time since I've seen a talent like yours.
23:42 Especially one with such an unfailing grip.
23:45 Wow. Thank you, sir.
23:48 I meant your handshake, son. You can let go now.
23:50 [crowd laughing]
23:52 Sorry?
23:54 But I did want to tell you that if you want it,
23:56 there'll be a spot for you at Whitworth Academy next year.
23:59 [scoffs]
24:01 Wow! Are you serious?
24:03 Such a great opportunity.
24:05 I mean, there are so many good reasons to go to your school, but...
24:09 There's a lot of good reasons to stay here, too.
24:15 I'm gonna have to think about it.
24:17 Thank you.
24:20 I understand, son.
24:22 We'll need your decision before the end of the school year.
24:25 Okay. Thank you.
24:27 [laughing]
24:31 Just for the record,
24:34 he doesn't speak for all of us.
24:37 I just happen to have my resume here.
24:41 Notice how the bullet points mostly line up?
24:45 [crowd laughing]
24:48 After this week's texting disasters,
24:51 maybe we should all communicate the old-fashioned way for a while.
24:54 In poem?
24:56 [crowd laughing]
24:58 In person.
25:00 Much better idea.
25:02 All right, texting time out.
25:04 Everyone, snap your phones.
25:06 First person to check their texts pays for pizza.
25:08 Cool. It's easy.
25:10 Old school.
25:12 [phone ringing]
25:14 [crowd laughing]
25:17 I guess you guys are buying my pizza.
25:20 Aw!
25:22 Bala sent us a video about a kitten driving a monster truck!
25:25 I want to see!
