00:00:00Okay, Pearl, this is it, Aiden Armstrong is single, this is your last chance to lose your
00:00:17virginity before college ends.
00:00:32Oh my god, isn't that Pearl, the library girl?
00:00:34As in that weird nerd who spends all her time snuffing books?
00:00:38Yeah, I'd hide in books too if I looked like that.
00:00:43Yeah, run back to the library, you ugly gremlin.
00:01:02Could this day get any worse?
00:01:21Uh, hello?
00:01:28Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:01:46I can explain.
00:01:47Explain what?
00:01:48You're naked in my closet!
00:01:52I need your help.
00:01:53Ew!
00:01:54Not, not, no, not like that.
00:01:55I, look, this, this old crazy fling came looking for me, I was in the dorm shower with a freshman
00:02:00and I, I needed a place to hide, the door was unlocked and I panicked.
00:02:05Wait a second, you're, you're Ethan Hart, the most popular senior, the ultimate heartbreaker,
00:02:15the infamous bad boy who never sleeps with the same girl twice, the guy who supposedly
00:02:20has the biggest you-know-what on campus.
00:02:24That rumor is definitely true.
00:02:28Ethan, where are you?
00:02:31Okay, yes, yeah, I'm Ethan Hart, maybe we can do the introductions later, this is an
00:02:35emergency situation.
00:02:36I'm sorry, your emergency situation is not my problem.
00:02:39No, no, please, please, just let me hide until she's gone, I will do anything.
00:02:50Uh, anything?
00:02:54Anything, anything, just, just help me out here.
00:02:57No, I, I can't help you out, I, I know about your reputation and everyone calls you the
00:03:03heartbreaker, I am not going to let you hurt that poor girl.
00:03:06How could I hurt Veronica Steele?
00:03:09Wait.
00:03:10I'm lucky if she doesn't hurt me, physically.
00:03:13Veronica.
00:03:18Yes, Veronica, we hooked up once and she will not leave me alone.
00:03:24Please, just, I will do anything.
00:03:27Ethan, where are you?
00:03:29What, what's your name, what's your name?
00:03:32Uh, Pearl.
00:03:33Pearl?
00:03:34Pearl.
00:03:35I will do anything.
00:03:41Fine, you owe me one though, get in the closet and be quiet, okay?
00:03:47Watch it.
00:03:52You, I heard voices in here.
00:03:55It was just me, I was practicing my lines, I'm a theater major.
00:04:01I'm looking for Ethan.
00:04:03Um, who's, who's Ethan?
00:04:06Oh, come on, everyone knows who he is, even someone like you.
00:04:09Oh, that Ethan.
00:04:12He's a big track and field star, has a lot of friends, usually wears clothes.
00:04:19No, no, I have not seen him tonight, I'm sorry.
00:04:26Are you lying to me?
00:04:29Why would Ethan Hart be in my room?
00:04:34You know what?
00:04:35You're right.
00:04:38Ethan Hart wouldn't even look at a girl like you if he was forced to.
00:04:42A girl like me?
00:04:44How do I put this nicely?
00:04:46Nerdy, boring, dull, forgettable, hard to look at, embarrassing.
00:04:53Speaking of, I caught this little tumble of yours on camera earlier,
00:04:58so if you're lying to me about Ethan, or if you even think about going near him,
00:05:04I'll release that video to the entire school.
00:05:07Imagine everyone seeing you fall like the clumsy loser you are.
00:05:17Aw, still ugly.
00:05:33I'm sorry about her. I'll get you a new pair of glasses.
00:05:36It's fine, it doesn't even matter if they're glasses or not.
00:05:40She's right.
00:05:45She's not.
00:05:47She's just a mean and bitter bully whose life is so boring she gets off on hurting others.
00:05:59I think the glasses are kind of hot.
00:06:06Anyway, thanks again.
00:06:10Wait, what about my favor?
00:06:14You said that if I helped you, you'd give me anything I wanted, and I know what I want.
00:06:21Oh my god, shit, she wants me.
00:06:24Right.
00:06:26Listen, Pearl, you seem like a cool girl.
00:06:30You seem like a cool girl. I appreciate...
00:06:33It was nice to meet you, but you're not really...
00:06:37How do I say this?
00:06:38I want him.
00:06:41How do I say this?
00:06:42I want him.
00:06:45Aiden Armstrong? Seriously?
00:06:47He's like the most generic jock ever.
00:06:50Exactly. I know, he's totally out of my league, but he's finally single for the first time in three years.
00:06:56I want my chance. I will not graduate college a virgin, and he's the only person I'd even consider sleeping with on this campus.
00:07:02So please, just don't try and talk me out of it. I've decided.
00:07:08You're a virgin?
00:07:10Well, I just said that out loud, didn't I?
00:07:15No, it's okay. Your not-so-dirty little secret is safe with me.
00:07:21And I'll help you get Aiden.
00:07:24In fact, there's a party tonight, and it just so happens I know where he'll be at.
00:07:30Really? I don't really do the party thing, though.
00:07:34I hate to break it to you, but if you want Aiden, you gotta hit the party scene.
00:07:40Maybe just not like this.
00:07:45Maybe your glass is broke. For a reason.
00:07:49Trust me, Pearl. My cousin, she knows what she's doing. She's a fashion major.
00:08:05Told you.
00:08:06Ethan! This is new.
00:08:10Oh, no. We're not hooking up. We're here for fashion advice. Can you help?
00:08:16Oh, heck yeah! It's not too often I get to start from scratch. Actually, this might be worse than that.
00:08:23I'm sorry.
00:08:25I'm sorry.
00:08:27I'm sorry.
00:08:29I'm sorry.
00:08:31I'm sorry.
00:08:33I'm sorry.
00:08:34This might be worse than that.
00:08:36No offense.
00:08:38None taken.
00:08:47It's a lot, I know. I'm prepping for the Sheen X pitch. Got lots of designs going.
00:08:55You work with Sheen?
00:08:57I want to. They have this creator incubator program.
00:09:01It gives young designers like me a chance to show our stuff to the world. It's actually pretty dope.
00:09:06Yeah, that's really dope.
00:09:08So, Pearl, what look are you going for?
00:09:11She's trying to catch the eye of the basketball captain.
00:09:14Then she needs to go from zero to jaw-dropping. Something that says, I'm not the library girl.
00:09:21Okay, this isn't just changing your outfits. This is creating your style.
00:09:26I don't know my style.
00:09:28Why do you think we shop with Sheen?
00:09:31They've got so many different options. One of them is going to have to work for you.
00:09:38Okay.
00:09:40Let's start with Sheen Frenchie. You like books, right?
00:09:45Yes.
00:09:47We can make you a European lady. A hot one.
00:09:49One.
00:10:19Holy smoke show!
00:10:22How do I look?
00:10:27Ethan?
00:10:29Sorry. I think my brain's short-circuiting.
00:10:32In a good way?
00:10:35In the best way.
00:10:38I'm sorry.
00:10:40I'm sorry.
00:10:42I'm sorry.
00:10:44I'm sorry.
00:10:46I'm sorry.
00:10:47Pearl, you look fucking incredible.
00:10:54And Aiden, he's going to eat you up.
00:10:58Let's get to that party.
00:11:03Alright Pearl, follow these three rules and Aiden is yours.
00:11:08Okay, hit me.
00:11:10Number one, Aiden thinks he's hilarious, so just laugh at all his stupid jokes.
00:11:15Uh-huh.
00:11:19Number two, Aiden loves himself. Just shower him with compliments.
00:11:25Compliments, check.
00:11:27And number three, bro is like obsessed with fitness, so just pretend you're two and he will eat that up like protein.
00:11:35Okay. Okay. Okay, I got this.
00:11:38That's the spirit.
00:11:40And remember, confidence is key. Just go in there, act like you own the place, and he won't be able to resist you.
00:11:50Wait, wait, where are you going?
00:11:52You gotta do this without me.
00:11:54No, no, no, no, no. I am not walking in there alone.
00:11:58You can, and you will.
00:12:01Pearl, you look beautiful.
00:12:05And there's no way he's not going to notice you.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:18Okay, I've got this.
00:12:38Is that Pearl Simmons?
00:12:42No way. A library girl?
00:12:48Who's that?
00:12:56What do you think you're doing?
00:12:58Yeah, did you get lost on your way from the library?
00:13:00A book isn't a plus one.
00:13:02It's too bad about your broken glasses, Pearl, but don't worry, I can help show you the exit.
00:13:08Remember Ethan's advice, confidence is key.
00:13:12Glasses or not, Veronica, I can see right through you.
00:13:16Your insults are just about as transparent as your need for attention.
00:13:23Okay, I see that you're trying to have your, like, little moment or whatever,
00:13:28but why don't you just leave before you embarrass yourself like you did on the basketball court?
00:13:33Get off of me!
00:13:35Hey!
00:13:38I don't think so.
00:13:44She's with me.
00:13:50Excuse me?
00:13:52You heard me. And from what I just heard, you all sound real jealous.
00:13:57Jealous? Of her? Please.
00:14:01Yeah. Yeah, because she's a showstopper.
00:14:04She's making you all look like little sideshow freaks.
00:14:06You're making a mistake, Ethan.
00:14:09The only mistake I made was what happened between us last year.
00:14:13Now if you'll excuse us, we have better places to be.
00:14:20Don't touch me. Don't touch me.
00:14:24Thanks for that.
00:14:26No problem. That was a long time coming.
00:14:29And your advice totally worked.
00:14:31What advice?
00:14:33About the confidence.
00:14:34I think I really got under Veronica's skin.
00:14:37See? What did I tell you? I bet you feel great.
00:14:41I feel amazing. It felt amazing.
00:14:45Uh, we should forget about Veronica.
00:14:48Because there's your target. It's twelve o'clock.
00:14:51Okay. I'm going in.
00:14:54Wait.
00:14:56What? Oh my god, is there something in my teeth?
00:14:58No. I...
00:15:01Um...
00:15:03Nothing.
00:15:06Good luck.
00:15:13Confidence is key.
00:15:15Whoa!
00:15:17Are you okay?
00:15:19I'm fine. It's just these heels. I'm not used to them, I guess.
00:15:22Hi.
00:15:24Hi.
00:15:26Thank you for saving me.
00:15:29Have I seen you somewhere before?
00:15:31Maybe at the gym?
00:15:32You work out?
00:15:34Yeah. Only on days that end with Y.
00:15:38I'm Aiden, by the way.
00:15:40I'm Pearl. Nice to meet you.
00:15:43Hey, are you busy right now? A few of us are going to get a game going.
00:15:47What kind of game?
00:15:50Pearl, come on.
00:15:53Come on, heartbreaker.
00:15:55What, are you too scared?
00:15:56Okay. The rules are simple.
00:15:59If the bottle lands on you, you have the choice to kiss someone or take a dare.
00:16:05Wait.
00:16:07Who's going to spin first?
00:16:09Me.
00:16:11I like being on top.
00:16:20Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
00:16:22Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
00:16:24Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
00:16:26No, no, no.
00:16:28I choose dare.
00:16:30Bring it on.
00:16:32I dare you to take off your shirt.
00:16:37No problem.
00:16:42It's not like you haven't seen it before.
00:16:54Oh.
00:16:59What will it be, library girl?
00:17:01Um.
00:17:03Dare.
00:17:05Dare?
00:17:08I dare you to kiss Aiden.
00:17:11Oh.
00:17:13That's not how it works, Veronica. She chose dare, not kiss.
00:17:17There's no rules against it.
00:17:19Unless, that is, it's too much for you, Pearl.
00:17:22This is like your first party, isn't it?
00:17:34I'll do it.
00:17:38This is it. The moment I've waited my entire life for.
00:17:42My first kiss.
00:17:44And it's for the man of my dreams.
00:17:46This is going to be perfect.
00:17:52Ding.
00:18:10That was so hot.
00:18:13Yeah. Um.
00:18:16Amazing.
00:18:18My turn.
00:18:22Oh.
00:18:33Veronica, kiss or dare?
00:18:35Dare.
00:18:37I dare you to tell us something really embarrassing.
00:18:39Oh, I'm so glad you asked.
00:18:41Because I actually saw something very embarrassing today.
00:18:45Some sad, gross little weirdo got hit in the face with a basketball.
00:18:49That's not how the game works, Veronica.
00:18:53You have to say something embarrassing about yourself.
00:18:55That's not what she said, Ethan.
00:18:57She said to tell everyone something embarrassing.
00:19:01Dude, I saw that girl too.
00:19:03Some creeper with glasses.
00:19:05What was she doing hanging around the court anyways?
00:19:07Good question.
00:19:09Maybe Pearl knows.
00:19:10Oh.
00:19:19Ding.
00:19:21Ding.
00:19:23Ding.
00:19:25Ding.
00:19:27Ding.
00:19:29Ding.
00:19:31Ding.
00:19:33Whoa.
00:19:35Couldn't get enough the first time, huh?
00:19:40Um.
00:19:41I have to go.
00:19:49Pearl.
00:19:51Wait.
00:19:53You okay?
00:19:54I'm fine.
00:19:56You're not fine.
00:19:58What made you so upset back there?
00:20:00Look, I was the girl in the video that got hit in the face with a basketball.
00:20:05And if Ethan finds out, then everything's going to be ruined.
00:20:09Yikes.
00:20:11Okay, I'm sorry.
00:20:12Does it really matter if things are ruined?
00:20:15The kiss, right?
00:20:17Things are ruined?
00:20:19The kiss was horrible.
00:20:20Both of them.
00:20:22Yeah, but it was all my fault.
00:20:25It was my first kiss.
00:20:26I didn't even know what I was doing.
00:20:27No, it's not your fault, Pearl.
00:20:30You should know that kisses aren't like the movies.
00:20:33They're awkward sometimes.
00:20:35I thought first kisses were supposed to be like, I don't know, magical or something.
00:20:41Yeah, but your first kiss was with Aiden.
00:20:43And Aiden is...
00:20:46Well, he's Aiden.
00:20:48This whole thing was such a bad idea.
00:20:51I'm so stupid.
00:20:52Oh, Pearl, don't say that.
00:20:54You just need to find the right guy to kiss.
00:21:09Veronica, watch it!
00:21:11Oops, didn't see you there.
00:21:13Sorry, it's not my fault.
00:21:14She's practically invisible.
00:21:28You know what?
00:21:29This outfit wasn't really my style anyways.
00:21:32What are you doing?
00:21:34Confidence is key.
00:21:36Right?
00:21:43Um...
00:21:45Wow.
00:21:53Hell yes, Pearl.
00:21:54I'm in.
00:21:56I'm in.
00:21:58Skinny dipping in the pool!
00:21:59Yeah!
00:22:03Let's go, let's go!
00:22:12I can't believe I ruined my first party and my first kiss.
00:22:16Are you kidding?
00:22:18That was awesome.
00:22:19Yeah?
00:22:20Really?
00:22:21Yeah.
00:22:22You're quite something, Pearl Simmons.
00:22:27Ethan, what are you doing?
00:22:29Ready?
00:22:35I thought it was supposed to be fun.
00:22:37I almost drowned.
00:22:38I hope you didn't.
00:22:41Oh my god.
00:22:42I can't believe I'm naked in a pool right now.
00:22:44Almost naked.
00:22:45And just relax.
00:22:46Go with it.
00:22:47Nobody's judging.
00:22:49I just feel kind of good to be wild.
00:22:52I feel like I'm finally doing college right.
00:22:56Well, I like wild women.
00:23:08Cheers to wild.
00:23:09Cheers to wild.
00:23:13Pearl.
00:23:15Got a minute?
00:23:17Yeah.
00:23:18Yeah, of course.
00:23:20I'll let you guys talk.
00:23:22I'll go work on my cannonballs.
00:23:24Cannonballs?
00:23:27So, about those kisses earlier.
00:23:29Oh, I'm sorry.
00:23:30For what?
00:23:31I'm sorry.
00:23:32It was, um, it was my first kiss.
00:23:35Wait, wait, what?
00:23:36That was your first kiss?
00:23:37Like, ever?
00:23:39No.
00:23:40I mean, um, no, no it wasn't.
00:23:43Hey, Pearl.
00:23:45I'm honored to be your first.
00:23:47You are?
00:23:48Yes.
00:23:49Being someone's first is really special.
00:23:52He's into this.
00:23:53He's into me.
00:23:55I might as well kiss my virginity goodbye.
00:23:59It is, um, um, it's really important that it's with the right person.
00:24:06How about we go for another first?
00:24:10Pearl, can I take you out?
00:24:14Can I take you out?
00:24:16Like, on a date?
00:24:18Yeah, like, on a date.
00:24:21Wow!
00:24:22Yes!
00:24:23I mean, yes, of course you can.
00:24:25Great.
00:24:26I'll call you tomorrow.
00:24:28Okay.
00:24:34Oh my god!
00:24:35Aiden just asked me out on a date!
00:24:38Of course he did.
00:24:41Thank you so much for hiding in my closet naked, Ethan.
00:24:45It's all...
00:24:46I want to look at you.
00:24:47Oh my god.
00:24:49I've never been on a date before.
00:24:52Relax.
00:24:53You're just...
00:24:54Just be yourself.
00:24:56You're pretty awesome.
00:24:57Ethan, I can't just be myself.
00:24:59I go to the library every night.
00:25:01It's not...
00:25:04I don't know what to tell you.
00:25:05I can't go on the date for you.
00:25:07Okay, but just, like, tell me what to do.
00:25:09I mean, you've been on, like, a million dates.
00:25:11Please, Ethan.
00:25:13Come on.
00:25:14I'll do anything.
00:25:16Now, why does that sound familiar?
00:25:18So is that a yes?
00:25:22Fine.
00:25:23Fine.
00:25:24I...
00:25:25Tomorrow night, I'll pick you up.
00:25:27And we'll go on a fake date.
00:25:29A fake date?
00:25:32Oh my god.
00:25:36Oh my god.
00:25:38Oh my god.
00:25:40Oh my god.
00:25:51Too intentional.
00:25:57Too casual.
00:26:10Wow.
00:26:27Wow.
00:26:28You clean up nice.
00:26:30Thanks.
00:26:32You...
00:26:33You look...
00:26:35I mean...
00:26:36You look like a completely different person.
00:26:38No offense.
00:26:39There's nothing wrong with the way you looked before.
00:26:41It's just...
00:26:42You look...
00:26:43I just mean you look...
00:26:46I took Ari's advice and got myself some new looks from Sheen's Top Trends page.
00:26:52You look gorgeous.
00:26:57For you.
00:26:59Oh, Ethan.
00:27:01This is sweet for a fake date.
00:27:04Fake or not, I have standards.
00:27:06No one's ever gotten me flowers before.
00:27:10Well, looks like Aiden won't have all your firsts.
00:27:16Um...
00:27:17By the way, if Aiden doesn't get you flowers, second red flag.
00:27:21Second?
00:27:22What was the first red flag?
00:27:23He's a bad kisser.
00:27:25Trust me.
00:27:26I saw the whole thing.
00:27:27He did not know what he was doing.
00:27:29Okay, enough about the kiss.
00:27:30I'm trying to forget about it.
00:27:31Okay?
00:27:32Okay.
00:27:33Clean slate.
00:27:34Got it.
00:27:36Shall we?
00:27:38Where are we going?
00:27:42Looks good.
00:27:43I can't believe I'm finally at the Starlight Lounge.
00:27:46I've always wanted to go here.
00:27:48I was hoping you'd like it.
00:27:49You know, being a theater major.
00:27:52Best.
00:27:53Fake.
00:27:54Date.
00:27:55Ever.
00:27:56Cheers to that.
00:27:57Wow.
00:28:02I was thinking...
00:28:04What other red flags should I look out for?
00:28:07Okay, well...
00:28:08I told you he loves himself.
00:28:10Right?
00:28:11If Aiden talks about Aiden the whole time...
00:28:14Major.
00:28:15Red flag.
00:28:16Okay, but I'm just not that interesting.
00:28:22Pearl.
00:28:23The library girl.
00:28:24I bet you're a lot more than just that.
00:28:27Try me.
00:28:29Okay.
00:28:30Well, I'm graduating first in my class.
00:28:33I am the lead in the spring play.
00:28:37I'm going to Europe this summer.
00:28:41I'm boring you, aren't I?
00:28:43No.
00:28:44No, not at all.
00:28:46I just learned that you're smart, you're talented, and you're adventurous.
00:28:52Which is a hot threesome.
00:28:55And I know my threesomes.
00:28:57Shh.
00:29:04I'm starting to think that people are wrong about you.
00:29:10You're kind of a gentleman.
00:29:12Yeah?
00:29:13Well, don't go around spreading that.
00:29:15I need to protect my reputation.
00:29:18Okay.
00:29:19Don't worry.
00:29:20Your secret's safe with me.
00:29:27Can I ask why, though?
00:29:29Why what?
00:29:30Why the whole never with the same girl twice thing?
00:29:35Uh, no.
00:29:36No, we are not here to talk about me.
00:29:38Alright?
00:29:45Okay.
00:29:46Okay, Pearl.
00:29:48One really important rule for first dates.
00:29:51What is it?
00:29:52Do not, under any circumstances,
00:29:55order the spaghetti.
00:29:57You've got sauce on your face.
00:29:59Oh my god.
00:30:02It's okay.
00:30:03It's okay.
00:30:17Hey.
00:30:18Hi.
00:30:19You made it.
00:30:20How was it?
00:30:21This is my favorite place to hike.
00:30:23You're gonna love it.
00:30:24You're gonna love this view.
00:30:26I already do.
00:30:33Let's go.
00:30:35It's so beautiful.
00:30:37I love being here.
00:30:40So, what do you think?
00:30:43This place is amazing.
00:30:45Yeah, it was totally worth the two miles uphill.
00:30:49You know, I can't believe I've never seen you around campus before.
00:30:53I guess I just kind of blend in.
00:30:56You?
00:30:57No way.
00:30:59You stand out, Pearl.
00:31:06Aiden, what the hell?
00:31:07Jessica, what are you doing here?
00:31:08I can't believe you'd move on so quickly.
00:31:10And with her?
00:31:15What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:31:16Let me help you, Pearl.
00:31:17I can help you, Pearl.
00:31:18Guys, it's not a big deal.
00:31:19It's just a sprain.
00:31:21I should be fine in a day or two.
00:31:23I think I can manage.
00:31:25Absolutely not.
00:31:26You shouldn't even be on your feet.
00:31:28I can carry you to your room.
00:31:29It's okay.
00:31:30I think you've helped enough.
00:31:32You caused this, you know.
00:31:33Why are you even here, dude?
00:31:34This has nothing to do with you.
00:31:36Wow, she has Ethan and Aiden fighting over her?
00:31:39She's so lucky.
00:31:40She's so lucky.
00:31:41She's so lucky.
00:31:42She's so lucky.
00:31:43She's so lucky.
00:31:44She's so lucky.
00:31:45She's so lucky.
00:31:50Back off, Aiden.
00:31:52I said I got it.
00:31:53Make me.
00:31:55Ethan!
00:32:01Stop!
00:32:02Enough!
00:32:03This is not helping anyone.
00:32:07Pearl's right.
00:32:08Let's get her back to her door.
00:32:15You okay?
00:32:16Is the sheriff on?
00:32:17No, I'm fine.
00:32:18Yeah, she's great.
00:32:19Thanks.
00:32:20Don't set her down that hard.
00:32:21I mean, if you need anything.
00:32:22Hi, I'm Becky, your neighbor.
00:32:23So weird we haven't met before, right?
00:32:24But if you need anything at all, just let me know.
00:32:25Oh, I actually do think we met before.
00:32:26Where did you get that top?
00:32:27It's so cute.
00:32:28So cute.
00:32:29It's so cute.
00:32:30It's so cute.
00:32:31It's so cute.
00:32:32It's so cute.
00:32:33It's so cute.
00:32:34It's so cute.
00:32:35It's so cute.
00:32:36It's so cute.
00:32:37It's so cute.
00:32:38It's so cute.
00:32:39It's so cute.
00:32:40It's so cute.
00:32:41It's so cute.
00:32:42It's so cute.
00:32:43It's so cute.
00:32:47Let me get this for you.
00:32:56Good thing you're so short.
00:32:57It works.
00:32:58Oh, why is everyone staring?
00:32:59Probably cause you look so pretty today.
00:33:07Yeah, right.
00:33:08No, they're probably just wondering how I got so lucky to have you carry my bags for
00:33:13You know Pearl, like, I actually had a good time with you yesterday, despite, well, everything.
00:33:21Hey Pearl, maybe sticks up a library where it's safe.
00:33:26Don't want to hurt your other ankle walking to class.
00:33:28What are they talking about?
00:33:31I don't, I don't know.
00:33:34Whoa, that was you?
00:33:43Wait.
00:33:44I can explain.
00:33:45Pearl, you're, you're Pearl.
00:33:47That weird library girl?
00:33:50I can't believe I didn't recognize you.
00:33:52This is just, uh, I can't.
00:33:56I gotta go.
00:33:57I'm sorry.
00:34:00Oh my god.
00:34:08Pearl, you okay?
00:34:11Do I look okay?
00:34:13It wants nothing to do with me.
00:34:15Everyone's seen that video and everyone's laughing at me.
00:34:20I'm not laughing.
00:34:23You're the only one who would do something like this.
00:34:27I think we both know.
00:34:29Veronica, I know it was her.
00:34:32She told me she had that video of it.
00:34:34Why does she hate me?
00:34:36Look, forget about Veronica, alright?
00:34:38And forget about Aiden.
00:34:40He's, he's not worth your time if he can't see how great you are.
00:34:43Okay, Ethan, it's not like it's that easy.
00:34:45I've liked him forever.
00:34:47I should have known he would never want to be with someone like me.
00:34:49I'm a joke.
00:34:51I'm just the weird library girl.
00:34:53No, we're not going to let them win, Pearl.
00:34:55What do you mean?
00:34:57I have an idea.
00:34:59If Veronica wants to play dirty, we'll play dirty.
00:35:03What are you going to do?
00:35:05I'm going to ask her out.
00:35:07What?
00:35:11Just trust me.
00:35:16I have to admit, your text was unexpected.
00:35:20You should know better than anyone.
00:35:22I'm full of surprises, Veronica.
00:35:24I mean, especially lately.
00:35:26Being seen with a girl like Pearl Simmons?
00:35:28Very surprising.
00:35:30What do you have against her, anyway?
00:35:32She's just annoying.
00:35:34Like, she's always acting like she's better than everyone else because she's smart.
00:35:37And then, like, trying to get with a guy like Aiden?
00:35:40Please, she needed to be put in her place.
00:35:43So, it was you who posted the video?
00:35:47Of course it was me.
00:35:49I mean, she's so pathetic, it was almost too easy.
00:35:52Did you hear about Aiden's reaction?
00:35:54Priceless.
00:35:56She actually thought she had a chance with him.
00:35:58You really know how to play the game, don't you, Veronica?
00:36:02Like I said, I like being on top.
00:36:06But enough about Pearl.
00:36:08Let's talk about us.
00:36:15Actually, I gotta go.
00:36:18I just remembered I need to reorganize my sock drawer.
00:36:22Bye.
00:36:26What?
00:36:31Did you get that?
00:36:33Every word.
00:36:36I, uh, I think the video's working.
00:36:42Did you see this?
00:36:44Veronica Steele is totally exploding.
00:36:47She's done for.
00:36:49I never liked her, anyway.
00:36:51Mean Girl is so out.
00:36:55Of course you didn't.
00:36:57I mean, she's so pathetic, it was almost too easy.
00:37:00Like, she's so pathetic.
00:37:02Mean Girl is so out.
00:37:04Of course it was me.
00:37:06I mean, she's so pathetic, it was almost too easy.
00:37:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:37:11This can't be happening!
00:37:18I'm pretty sure the hashtag Team Pearl, it's gonna be everywhere.
00:37:22Thank you, Ethan, for using your platform to help me.
00:37:26It's nothing.
00:37:28No, it's not nothing.
00:37:31No one's ever done anything like this for me before.
00:37:34It...
00:37:36It means everything.
00:37:46Pearl, I...
00:37:48Now if I can just win Aiden back, everything will be perfect.
00:37:52Yeah, yeah, right.
00:37:54Yeah, let's go.
00:37:56Make it happen.
00:37:57Okay.
00:38:01Do you really think this is gonna make Aiden jealous?
00:38:04Trust me.
00:38:06By the end of tonight, everyone's gonna be talking about us, including Aiden.
00:38:11So, uh, let's make it look real.
00:38:16How do we do that?
00:38:18Neither of us have ever even been in a relationship.
00:38:21It's easy enough.
00:38:23You know, just hold hands, gaze into each other's eyes, that sort of thing.
00:38:26I can do that.
00:38:28So, is this our soft launch or something?
00:38:33There's nothing soft about me, baby.
00:38:36I'm going in hard.
00:38:51Yo.
00:38:52Dude, isn't that Pearl with Ethan?
00:38:54No way.
00:38:56Dude, isn't that Pearl with Ethan?
00:38:58No way. I didn't even know they were a thing.
00:39:00I thought you guys were literally just Aiden.
00:39:13You two look so cute together.
00:39:15Yeah, it's giving total ick.
00:39:17Are the rumors about Ethan's you-know-what true?
00:39:20This is insane. I feel like a celebrity.
00:39:23I told you it'd work.
00:39:25Yeah, if it's working, it's only because of you.
00:39:27Everyone knows your reputation. They probably think I put some spell on you or something.
00:39:33People can change, Pearl.
00:39:44Where's your head tonight, Aiden? You're playing like shit out there.
00:39:47Hi, Coach. Sorry.
00:39:55No way.
00:39:59What do you think?
00:40:01I don't know.
00:40:03Do we?
00:40:10It's gotta look real, right?
00:40:13Right.
00:40:15Then I'm gonna kiss you.
00:40:18And like I told you, I'm going in hard.
00:40:22I'm ready.
00:40:26I'm ready.
00:40:36Tough break, man.
00:40:47That was incredible. Magical.
00:40:51Everything my first kiss should have been.
00:40:54Um...
00:41:17Hey, um, you wanted to talk?
00:41:20Yeah.
00:41:22Pearl, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have just walked out on you the other day.
00:41:26I get it. I am just a weird library girl.
00:41:30That's not true. I was just surprised that I didn't know how to handle it.
00:41:34But seeing you tonight with Ethan made me realize how dumb that was.
00:41:42You know it'd never work out with Ethan, right?
00:41:44They call him the Heartbreaker for a reason.
00:41:48I don't know, Aiden.
00:41:50Okay, you really hurt me.
00:41:52I need to think about it, okay?
00:41:54Take all the time you need.
00:41:56I'm not going anywhere, Pearl.
00:42:06I don't know what to do, Ethan.
00:42:08Aiden apologized and, you know, he seems really sincere.
00:42:12What exactly did he say?
00:42:14When he saw the video, he didn't realize who I was and he freaked out.
00:42:18But he said that he wants to try to work things out.
00:42:23Is that what you want?
00:42:25Yeah.
00:42:27Whenever I think about losing my virginity to someone, I still think of him.
00:42:44Thanks.
00:43:02This is literally you, Pearl.
00:43:06It's beautiful. It's one of a kind.
00:43:09Look, all I'm saying is you...
00:43:12You deserve the best.
00:43:14And you deserve a guy who's going to give you the best.
00:43:17Even if that's not me.
00:43:42I'm so happy you agreed to this date.
00:43:44I'm glad we can give this a fresh start.
00:43:48I'll give you anything you want.
00:43:56Shall we toast to that?
00:43:57We shall.
00:44:03So, what are you doing tomorrow night?
00:44:05I'll probably go to the library.
00:44:07I have a big test on Monday, so I need to study for that.
00:44:12So, I was thinking, now that we're giving this another shot,
00:44:15maybe you could ease up on the whole library stuff a bit.
00:44:19What do you mean?
00:44:20Well, you do spend a lot of time in there.
00:44:22Why feed into that dumb nickname?
00:44:24You want me to stop going to the library?
00:44:27Not stop, exactly. Just cut back a little.
00:44:32And these glasses are fine, but all eyes are on you now.
00:44:35On us.
00:44:37And the contacts look so much better.
00:44:39You understand what I'm saying, right?
00:44:44You're embarrassed of me.
00:44:46Of course not. It's just that...
00:44:49You don't want to be seen dating Pearl the library girl, right?
00:44:53Why are you being so difficult about this?
00:44:56You know what? It may have taken me a while to realize this.
00:45:04I don't need to change for anyone.
00:45:07This was a mistake, and I made the wrong choice.
00:45:25Pearl, what happened?
00:45:30What happened? Talk to me.
00:45:32Me and Aiden, we went on our date today, and it was going really good.
00:45:37Then he told me how I needed to change.
00:45:41I should stop going to the library so much.
00:45:43I should change my look.
00:45:46He wants me to be someone I'm not.
00:45:48And what did you say to him?
00:45:51I told him that I can only be me,
00:45:55and it's not going to work out between us.
00:45:58Yeah. Yeah, good. Screw him, Pearl.
00:46:01You're smart, you're sweet and kind and perfect just the way you are.
00:46:06Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
00:46:09I'm just disappointed.
00:46:11I thought Aiden was different.
00:46:14Pearl, I, uh...
00:46:17I never thought he was right for you.
00:46:26Veronica posted a picture of me and Aiden tonight.
00:46:29She said I was a cheater.
00:46:31And that I went behind your back.
00:46:33She's gone too far this time.
00:46:35What are we going to do?
00:46:37I don't know, but we've got to think of something.
00:46:44There goes the cheater.
00:46:46Can't believe she fumbled both Ethan and Aiden.
00:46:49And she's supposed to be smart?
00:46:54I have a plan.
00:46:56What is it?
00:46:57I'm going to tell the truth.
00:46:59Everything's going to be okay.
00:47:01It's true, but...
00:47:06Hey, everybody.
00:47:08I have something to set the record straight about.
00:47:11All these rumors about Pearl cheating on me?
00:47:15Yeah, it's total bullshit.
00:47:17Pearl never cheated on me.
00:47:19Because we were never actually dating.
00:47:23We were fake dating to make someone else jealous.
00:47:26But here's the truth.
00:47:28She's one of the most amazing people I've ever met.
00:47:31She's at the top of her class.
00:47:33She's smarter than anyone here.
00:47:35She's also kind.
00:47:37She's funny.
00:47:38She's sweet.
00:47:39She's drop-dead gorgeous.
00:47:41She doesn't deserve any of the shit you guys are saying.
00:47:45Anyone would be lucky to have her.
00:47:48It's impossible not to fall for her.
00:47:53Because...
00:47:55It happened to me.
00:48:04Pearl.
00:48:08I take you, Pearl.
00:48:10Exactly the way you are.
00:48:13Ethan.
00:48:16I mean it, Pearl.
00:48:18I've fallen for you.
00:48:20I know I don't have the best reputation or the best track record, but...
00:48:25I want a chance.
00:48:27Just one chance.
00:48:29Ethan, I...
00:48:33Yes.
00:48:34Yes, I...
00:48:36I've been trying to ignore the way I feel about you, but...
00:48:39Why?
00:48:41You see me for me.
00:48:43But how can I ask for anything more than that?
00:49:05What about the whole, you know, never with the same girl twice thing?
00:49:10You of all people should know not to believe everything you hear.
00:49:13But I do know that one of those rumors is true.
00:49:16Oh yeah? Which rumor is that?
00:49:18The rumor that Ethan Hart has the biggest you-know-what on campus.
00:49:27This is so messed up.
00:49:30They've made fools of us.
00:49:32And I'm not going to let them get away with it.
00:49:36I cannot believe that just happened.
00:49:38Me neither.
00:49:40I didn't plan on spilling my guts today, but...
00:49:43When I saw you, I just couldn't hold it in any longer.
00:49:47I had no idea that you felt that way about me.
00:49:50I have, for a while. I just...
00:49:53I just couldn't tell you.
00:49:55Why not?
00:49:56You had a thing for Aiden, and I...
00:50:00I don't know the first thing about being a...
00:50:05A boyfriend.
00:50:07So are we official now? Are you my boyfriend?
00:50:11I'd like to be, if you'll have me.
00:50:18I would like that.
00:50:22Because I like you. I do.
00:50:25And I just... I guess I thought a popular guy like you would never be into a girl like me.
00:50:32I'm very into you.
00:50:36I don't want to mess things up down the road.
00:50:41No, it's... Let's not worry about that right now.
00:50:44Because right now, today, is pretty awesome.
00:51:10Look! It's Ethan and Pearl!
00:51:13I wish I could make him smile like that.
00:51:16As if he'd ever notice you.
00:51:18He never looks away from her.
00:51:23Make a wish.
00:51:25I wish to skip my next class, because I am definitely about to fail this test.
00:51:31You? No way. You're like the smartest person I know.
00:51:35I was hoping you'd rub off on me, actually.
00:51:37Oh yeah? Is that why you're dating me?
00:51:40I mean, it's not the only reason. I mean, you got a sexy butt.
00:51:51Okay, I have to go. I'm going to miss the test.
00:51:57I don't think I've ever seen you this happy before.
00:52:00I feel happy. I mean, it's been a week. I haven't messed things up. Yet.
00:52:05Well, there's always tomorrow.
00:52:08Yeah, there's always tomorrow.
00:52:39Hey, Ethan. Where are you off to with that?
00:52:43None of your business, Veronica.
00:52:46Let me guess. Library girl?
00:52:49Yeah, my girlfriend. So, if you don't mind.
00:52:53Hey, what do you think you're doing with a girl like Pearl?
00:52:58Not this again.
00:53:00No, I'm being serious this time.
00:53:02Pearl's smart. Like, really smart.
00:53:06Her parents are lawyers. And they're loaded.
00:53:11I'm talking house in the suburbs, house on the water, and you.
00:53:16Well, let's be honest.
00:53:20You're just a C student.
00:53:22A former trailer park kid with a baseball scholarship that's not exactly heading to the big leagues.
00:53:32It's a low blow for Attica. Even for you.
00:53:35I'm just calling it like I see it.
00:53:38You're not exactly her type, Ethan.
00:53:43No matter how hard you try.
00:53:51You're just good for a temporary distraction.
00:53:55You don't get to decide what Pearl deserves. Or me.
00:53:59Maybe not. But I do know that she deserves better than losing her virginity to the heartbreaker.
00:54:07Sooner or later she'll realize that you're not what she needs.
00:54:12And when that happens, you'll go right back to being the one night stand guy.
00:54:19Have a good night, Ethan.
00:54:30Hi, Ethan, you're here.
00:54:34And I come bearing gifts.
00:54:44Ethan, Ethan, this is the prettiest dress I've ever seen. Thank you.
00:54:52It's your size, so it'll fit perfectly.
00:54:56It's your size, so it'll fit perfectly.
00:54:59How did you get it so fast?
00:55:01Well, I knew you'd pass, so I ordered it earlier.
00:55:05You're so sweet. Come in, come in.
00:55:08Oh, I see you brought champagne.
00:55:11Uh, yeah. Actually, Pearl, I can't stay.
00:55:21I can't stay.
00:55:23What? But you just got here.
00:55:26Yeah, um, I have this thing, this paperwork that I gotta do.
00:55:33Can your paperwork wait?
00:55:35Just a little bit. Come on, I really, really want to celebrate with you tonight, if you know what I mean.
00:55:43I do, too. But, yeah, I should really go.
00:55:49Can I, um, can I walk you to class tomorrow morning?
00:55:54Um, yeah. Okay, I'll see you then.
00:55:59I'll leave this with you.
00:56:05Good night.
00:56:09Good night.
00:56:19Hey, so I was thinking we could grab lunch after class. Does that sound good?
00:56:23Yeah, sure.
00:56:25Is everything okay? You seem a little bit off lately.
00:56:29It's nothing. Just a lot on my mind.
00:56:33Okay. Do you want to talk about it?
00:56:36Not really.
00:56:38Okay. Hey, I saved that bottle of champagne, so I was thinking maybe you'd want to come over to me.
00:56:46I'd love to. I just, I have a lot of studying I gotta do. But, um, another time, okay?
00:56:58Have a good class. Talk to you later.
00:57:05He sure was in a hurry to leave.
00:57:07Who can blame him? I'd be scared to get close to that sweater, too.
00:57:12Is it a live fur or does it just look that way?
00:57:35Oh, yikes. You really do need my help.
00:57:39Look, Ethan's being weird. He's avoiding me. He is giving me forehead kisses.
00:57:45And every time I invite him over, he says no.
00:57:49Oh, my God.
00:57:53He doesn't want to have sex with me.
00:57:56Whoa, slow down. What did you just say?
00:57:59Ethan doesn't want me.
00:58:02Didn't he just declare his love for you on the quad?
00:58:06And he literally harassed me to find the perfect dress for you.
00:58:09We spent like four hours on Shein, and you know they have all the clothes in the world to choose from.
00:58:14Yes, yes, but, I mean, he doesn't want to do anything physical.
00:58:21He doesn't, he doesn't even want to touch me.
00:58:26That doesn't really sound like Ethan. Maybe he just thinks you want to take things slow.
00:58:31No, he knows I want to lose my virginity.
00:58:35I don't understand what's happening. He doesn't even want to be alone with me.
00:58:40Well, I don't blame him. I mean, that sweater looks feral.
00:58:45I just, I just want to be irresistible for once.
00:58:50Okay, calm down. There is no way that Ethan doesn't want to sleep with you. I mean, he sleeps with everyone.
00:58:57Not helping, Aria.
00:58:59Okay, men are visual creatures. They like spontaneity.
00:59:05What are you suggesting?
00:59:09The oldest trick in the book.
00:59:15What is this for?
00:59:16To hide this.
00:59:19No, no, I know what you're suggesting, and I'm not doing that.
00:59:23It's foolproof.
00:59:30I can't believe I'm doing this.
00:59:32It's foolproof.
00:59:33That tracks because I feel like a fool.
00:59:35Shut up, you look hot.
00:59:38I look like Carmen Sandiego.
00:59:42No, Ethan is going to love this.
00:59:44Go get your man.
00:59:46You can do this. Confidence is key.
00:59:49Introduce Ethan to your sexy side.
01:00:01Hey, Ethan.
01:00:02Pearl, what are you doing?
01:00:05Being spontaneous.
01:00:27Pearl.
01:00:29I thought that you'd be up for spending some time together. Help me get rid of something.
01:00:40I think we should talk.
01:00:42About what? Don't you want me?
01:00:44I do want you. A lot.
01:00:48But I want to do things right, and I don't want to jump into sex.
01:00:53This relationship stuff, it's new to me. I want to be a good boyfriend. I want to do things the right way.
01:00:59I want to be what you need.
01:01:00You are what I need.
01:01:02Look, I know you're eager to lose your virginity, but I don't think we should rush things. Okay?
01:01:12How about we go on a date tomorrow night? Just the two of us.
01:01:17A date sounds nice.
01:01:19Great. I'll see you tomorrow night.
01:01:22Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
01:01:40Ethan, you look incredible.
01:01:43And I look, uh...
01:01:45I should have worn that gorgeous dress.
01:01:48You look perfect.
01:01:50You ready?
01:02:06I'm sorry.
01:02:07No, no, I'm sorry.
01:02:09Screw me. I can't even sit down right.
01:02:21I'll do the filet mignon, and my date will have the salmon.
01:02:25I was actually kind of in a mood for pasta.
01:02:30Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was...
01:02:33It's fine.
01:02:40Are you okay tonight, Ethan?
01:02:42Yeah. Yeah, why do you ask?
01:02:44I don't know. You just seem kind of stiff. That's all.
01:02:47Stiff?
01:02:48I didn't mean it in a bad way.
01:02:50Just formal.
01:02:52I mean, this is a date, right?
01:02:55Right.
01:02:58No, you're right. Just forget I even said anything.
01:03:07I'm sorry. I'm just...
01:03:10I'm really bad at this.
01:03:12No, no, you're not.
01:03:14Come in. We can talk about it.
01:03:17I don't... I don't think that's a good idea.
01:03:20Talk to you later, Pearl.
01:03:28Pearl, hey!
01:03:30Can I talk to you for a minute?
01:03:31You don't have anything to talk about.
01:03:33I deserve that.
01:03:34But I truly do just want to apologize.
01:03:38For what? You have a long list of things to apologize for.
01:03:40I know.
01:03:41But the truth is, I've been jealous.
01:03:45I've had a thing for Ethan for a long time.
01:03:49But it's clear that you two have something special.
01:03:53Anyone can tell just looking at you two.
01:03:55Really?
01:03:56Definitely. And it's not just Ethan I've been jealous of.
01:04:00I've been jealous of you too.
01:04:02Jealous of me?
01:04:04I mean, I know you're graduating first in the class, and I'm graduating second.
01:04:10Unfortunately, my parents are never going to let me live that down.
01:04:14Wow. I'm sorry. I had no idea.
01:04:18Anyway, I want to make it up to you.
01:04:21I'm having a sleepover party tonight.
01:04:24Just girls. No drama.
01:04:26We can hang out, gossip, and have fun.
01:04:30I don't know. I don't really do those.
01:04:33Oh, it'll be a blast. I promise.
01:04:35You know what? Yeah, okay. That sounds like fun.
01:04:39I'm not really doing anything tonight.
01:04:42That's fantastic. Okay. My place? Around 7. See you there?
01:04:51Are you serious?
01:04:53Okay.
01:04:54Pearl! You made it! Come on in!
01:04:57Thanks for inviting me.
01:04:59Oh, there's so many of you guys here.
01:05:02Lots of girls on this campus.
01:05:04But you'll love them. And I think you'll find you have a lot in common.
01:05:08It's so nice to meet you, Pearl.
01:05:10You and Ethan are so cute together.
01:05:13I wish I could have a boyfriend as sweet as him.
01:05:16That's so sweet.
01:05:18So Pearl, give us the deets.
01:05:21Are you and Ethan having sex yet?
01:05:24No. We actually haven't.
01:05:28Oh my gosh. How is it possible you haven't jumped his bones yet?
01:05:33Seriously? I'd be all over that.
01:05:35Well, we're kind of taking things slow.
01:05:39I'm a virgin.
01:05:41Really? That's interesting.
01:05:45Very interesting.
01:05:47Because I think we all know that Ethan doesn't like to take things slow.
01:05:56We all?
01:05:57Every girl in this room.
01:06:02Do you mean...
01:06:04Yes. We've all had sex with Ethan Hart.
01:06:09Well, except for you.
01:06:16Don't worry. We're not going to steal him or anything.
01:06:20Preach, girl. I mean, he's all charm, but no commitment.
01:06:24And don't get me started on his reputation.
01:06:26I mean, he's amazing in bed, but his reputation...
01:06:30He's not a one-woman kind of guy.
01:06:34Roxy and I would know. He had us at the same time.
01:06:39As you can see, Ethan would sleep with anyone.
01:06:43But for some reason, he won't touch you.
01:06:48I wonder why that is.
01:06:50The man loves sex, so there must be a reason.
01:06:53Maybe it's those glasses.
01:06:55Or the clothes.
01:06:56Don't be shallow, ladies. I mean, I'm sure none of that stuff helps.
01:07:01But I think it's because you're a virgin.
01:07:06It's obvious you don't have what it takes to satisfy a man like Ethan.
01:07:13I have to go.
01:07:16Okay.
01:07:24Hey, you've reached Ethan. Please leave a message.
01:07:27Damn it, Ethan. Where are you?
01:07:40Pearl, what happened?
01:07:42Everything.
01:07:45Nothing.
01:07:46Talk to me. What's going on?
01:07:48Just Veronica and her friends just saying horrible things about Ethan.
01:07:53That he's a heartbreaker and he sleeps around with everyone.
01:07:57Well, everyone except for me.
01:07:59I'm sorry, but I knew this would happen.
01:08:02What do you mean?
01:08:03I knew he would hurt you, Pearl.
01:08:05And I'm sure all of that was hard to hear, but he's got a reputation for a reason.
01:08:09He's not a good guy.
01:08:10That's not true. He's good to me.
01:08:12Then where is he right now?
01:08:16He deserves someone so much better than a guy who plays games.
01:08:26What are you doing?
01:08:28I thought that...
01:08:29No, you thought wrong. I have a boyfriend, Aiden.
01:08:32Yeah, well, who doesn't give a shit? I care about you, Pearl.
01:08:35The only person you care about is yourself.
01:08:38That's why it will never work out between us.
01:08:42You're making a mistake.
01:08:44No, the only mistake I would make is to cheat on Ethan.
01:08:47And it's not one that I intend to make.
01:08:49Now go.
01:08:51Go.
01:09:02Go.
01:09:09That was quite the show you put on.
01:09:11I got the perfect picture of the kiss.
01:09:13There was no kiss.
01:09:14I don't care about the picture of any of this anymore. I'm done.
01:09:17I don't need you anymore anyway.
01:09:32What the fuck is wrong with you, huh?
01:09:34I told you to stay away from Pearl.
01:09:36Don't do this, Ethan. You don't know the truth, though.
01:09:38What I know is you're a liar.
01:09:39No wonder Jessica broke up with you.
01:09:41You knew me and Pearl were together, and you still can't stay away.
01:09:44Are you really, though? Because I heard you're not together at all.
01:09:50What are you doing? Stop it!
01:09:59Guys, stop it! Stop! Someone's going to get hurt!
01:10:02Guys, please, stop!
01:10:03Call security!
01:10:07Alright, that's enough!
01:10:09Both of you, stop that!
01:10:11Show's over, everyone!
01:10:12Get back to class!
01:10:16Is she really the reason for all of this?
01:10:19Can't you just pick one of them? This is all your fault.
01:10:22Now it's causing problems for everyone.
01:10:24If Aiden has kicked off the team, there goes our season.
01:10:27I'm sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I was just...
01:10:42Ethan, are you okay?
01:10:45Ethan, I can explain.
01:10:47You don't have to explain anything.
01:10:49Just hear me out, okay?
01:10:51What happened with Aiden, it's not what it looked like.
01:10:53I would never, ever, ever cheat on you.
01:10:56It doesn't matter.
01:10:57Of course it matters.
01:10:59It's better this way.
01:11:00What do you mean?
01:11:01I'm not boyfriend material.
01:11:03I'm good for one thing, and that's all I've ever been good at.
01:11:07And you deserve more than that.
01:11:10No, no, don't talk about yourself that way.
01:11:12It's the truth, Pearl.
01:11:14We were never going to work out.
01:11:15Even if it wasn't this, something would have broken us up.
01:11:20You're breaking up with me?
01:11:30Ethan, if you're going to end things without so much of a conversation,
01:11:33at least look at me and tell me that!
01:11:39I'm sorry.
01:11:54I knew I'd find you here.
01:11:57Where else would the library girl be?
01:11:59Yet another pity party for one.
01:12:01You and Ethan, both alone and feeling sorry for yourselves.
01:12:06I don't want to talk about Ethan.
01:12:07Then just listen, okay?
01:12:08Because I have something I want to say.
01:12:10Ethan had it rough growing up, and he thinks that he's less than because of it.
01:12:15In his eyes, he went to college and he finally got to be somebody.
01:12:19The heartbreaker.
01:12:20A guy who never sleeps with a girl twice, and...
01:12:24The guy who has the biggest you-know-what on campus.
01:12:26Okay, I was trying to skip that.
01:12:29Anyway, he played into it, and he thinks that that's all that he's good for.
01:12:35And then he met you.
01:12:37And I think he's actually trying to be different.
01:12:40I was playing into it too.
01:12:41I mean, I was treating him like a piece of meat.
01:12:43No, it is nobody's fault.
01:12:45He broke up with you because he's convinced that he's not the guy that he thinks that you need.
01:12:51He is the guy I need.
01:12:52Then show him!
01:12:54Okay, because I am tired of his sulking, and I think he has been wearing these same jeans all week.
01:13:01Okay, I need to do something special.
01:13:05Well, great time for a big gesture.
01:13:07His birthday is tomorrow.
01:13:10Perfect.
01:13:11Okay.
01:13:12Thank you, Aria.
01:13:23Um, just a minute.
01:13:25Hey.
01:13:28Hey, Pearl. I hope I'm not interrupting.
01:13:31What do you want?
01:13:32I just wanted to apologize to you for what I did.
01:13:35I know I messed things up between you and Ethan, and I'm really sorry for that.
01:13:38Okay, well, you apologized, so you can go now.
01:13:41Look, there's something else you should know.
01:13:43Veronica, she's dangerous.
01:13:45What you've seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg.
01:13:47Okay, what are you talking about?
01:13:49I think she has something on Ethan.
01:13:51She never told me what it was, just referred to it as a last resort.
01:13:56Okay, I appreciate the warning, but I'm done with Veronica's games.
01:14:01I'm not letting her mess with my head any longer. I'm done.
01:14:05Just be careful.
01:14:08She's not someone you want to cross.
01:14:12Ethan's a lucky guy.
01:14:15I'll see you, Pearl.
01:14:22EPISODE 2
01:14:26Ethan, you need to come quickly.
01:14:29Pearl's hurt.
01:14:42Happy birthday.
01:14:43Pearl, what's going on? Are you hurt?
01:14:46I told her not to tell you I was hurt.
01:14:49So, this is a set-up?
01:14:51No, no, this is not a set-up.
01:14:53I just wanted to do something special for you, and I knew you wouldn't come on your own.
01:14:57So, I just had...
01:15:00I can't do this right now.
01:15:01No, no, no, Ethan. Please, please just listen to me.
01:15:12Ethan, wait.
01:15:15Ethan, please. I shouldn't have pressured you about sex.
01:15:18I... You're so much more than that.
01:15:21And I hate myself for doing that to you.
01:15:24I don't blame you for breaking up with me.
01:15:26That's not why I broke up with you.
01:15:31I'm scared, Pearl.
01:15:33I'm scared of messing things up.
01:15:35Hell, I already have.
01:15:37I took the first chance to run away because I can't face the possibility of failing you.
01:15:43You can never fail me, Ethan.
01:15:47Look, do you remember what I told you about this necklace?
01:15:50It's beautiful and one-of-a-kind.
01:15:53That's you, too.
01:15:56Look, we don't... It doesn't matter where we came from or what people think about us.
01:16:01Ever since I met you, I've been happy.
01:16:04I've really been happy.
01:16:06And I know we can make this work.
01:16:08You don't have to be perfect.
01:16:11You just have to be you.
01:16:17I'm sorry for running away.
01:16:19I... I just don't know how to handle everything.
01:16:23It's okay.
01:16:25We can take things slow. We don't need to rush into anything.
01:16:29Okay?
01:16:42Let's make things official.
01:16:45Again.
01:16:46My frat's throwing a semi-formal tomorrow night.
01:16:49Let's go together.
01:16:51I'd love to.
01:16:52Now, was that Chinese I saw back there?
01:16:54It was.
01:16:56It's your favorite. It's your birthday. I had to get it.
01:16:59And I have another surprise.
01:17:01I got this for you in exchange for this dress.
01:17:05What?
01:17:08Best birthday ever. I mean...
01:17:10No.
01:17:18What the hell are you doing here?
01:17:21I heard that you and Pearl made up.
01:17:23How sweet.
01:17:25Too bad I have something to change your mind.
01:17:31Is that...
01:17:33A little video of our night together?
01:17:36You were so passionate. I had to get it all on camera.
01:17:39Delete it. Now.
01:17:41No. I don't think I will.
01:17:44In fact, if you don't break up with Pearl for good,
01:17:47then I'll release it to everyone.
01:17:50She wouldn't dare.
01:17:51It'd be easy enough to blur out my face.
01:17:53I mean, you're the star of the show anyway.
01:17:56Why are you doing this to me?
01:17:58Because I can.
01:17:59Because Pearl doesn't get to have everything.
01:18:02So either break up with her,
01:18:05or I'll show this video to the entire world.
01:18:11You're blackmailing me.
01:18:13And I'm going to win.
01:18:18I told you, I like being on top.
01:18:31Where is he?
01:18:32Where is he?
01:18:34Wow, Pearl. That's quite the fit.
01:18:36Did you dress up for Ethan?
01:18:38Because I heard that he ditched you.
01:18:41Looks like you're the only one who didn't get the memo.
01:18:44No, no. Ethan would never do that.
01:18:47Oh, really? Then where is he?
01:18:49I'm sure he's coming. He's probably just running late.
01:18:51Oh, sweetheart, we didn't say he wasn't coming.
01:18:54We said he ditched you.
01:18:56For another date.
01:18:59What are you talking about?
01:19:02Pearl.
01:19:20Pearl, can we talk?
01:19:22Ethan, what's going on? Why are you with her?
01:19:27Pearl, I need to be honest.
01:19:30This isn't working out.
01:19:32No, no. We just talked last night.
01:19:34We're going to take things slow, and everything's going to be fine.
01:19:37I know, I know. But I'm not the right guy for you.
01:19:40You should be with someone like Aiden.
01:19:42I'm not good for you.
01:19:44He's just being realistic, Pearl.
01:19:46You see, he's not really the settled down type.
01:19:50Ethan, please don't do that.
01:19:53I'm sorry, Pearl.
01:19:55It's just better this way.
01:19:57Don't worry. I'll take care of him for you.
01:20:00I thought you cared about me.
01:20:02Are you going to cry?
01:20:04I heard the library's a great place for that.
01:20:14Finally, I get you alone.
01:20:16How about we have a little fun?
01:20:18What's the rush? Let's talk first.
01:20:21Talk? Who are you, and what have you done with Ethan Hart?
01:20:28What are you doing?
01:20:32Hey! Give it back!
01:20:34Not until this is done.
01:20:39That's just one copy of it.
01:20:41Then we're going to sit here until you tell me where every copy is, and then I'm going to destroy them.
01:20:45Or what?
01:20:47Or I'm going to turn you into the police for blackmail and possession of non-consensual pornography.
01:20:52You wouldn't dare.
01:20:54Try me.
01:20:58Hey.
01:21:04Did you delete it?
01:21:06Every last copy.
01:21:08We even went back to her dorm room and I got it off her hard drive.
01:21:11But I don't think we have to worry about her anymore. She's spooked.
01:21:15I hope so.
01:21:17But she does follow through.
01:21:19One call to my parents, she'll be in court.
01:21:21That's what I told her.
01:21:28We make a good team, don't we?
01:21:30We do.
01:21:32Your acting chops are kind of impressive. It's kind of hot.
01:21:36Wait. Me fake breaking up with you gets you hot?
01:21:40Just being in a secret with you is kind of fun.
01:21:42Well, let's hope we don't have to do that ever again, because that was enough drama to last us a lifetime.
01:21:47Tell me about it. I kind of miss my quiet nights in the library.
01:21:53Yeah, it's pretty nice.
01:21:56Yeah, it's pretty nice. It's quiet. Private.
01:22:07Reminds me of a fantasy.
01:22:10Let me guess.
01:22:13Yes.
01:22:19Nerdy Girl is all about the quiet, studious life. Surprises you with her adventurous side.
01:22:25That's exactly it.
01:22:27Why don't we work on making that fantasy come true, Heartbreaker?
01:22:31There's nothing I'd love more.
01:22:33Probably the library girl.
01:22:36I don't know.
